Chapter 94: Let Me Show You Something Interesting
Huo Yuhao also had his own judgment.
In his previous life, when he fused his Soul King cultivation with the wolf ape's left leg bone, it only took him half an hour, while Qiu'er only took a quarter of an hour.
Although Wu Ming's Golden Crow Martial Soul is not the ultimate fire, it is definitely a top-tier Martial Soul, not to mention that she is also a Soul Saint.
Furthermore, the biggest difference between absorbing soul bones and soul rings lies in the fact that the quality of a soul bone is more important, while the age of a soul ring is more crucial.
Although this external soul bone originated from a mutated soul beast, it is still somewhat inferior to soul beasts with naturally noble bloodlines, such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Ice Jade Scorpion.
Wu Ming's peach-pink eyes swept over Huo Yuhao. She took a deep breath, then nodded heavily and simply uttered a single word.
"Um."
That's just her personality. Although she usually seems carefree and even a bit fiery, she cherishes the kindness she receives even more, especially since it was Huo Yuhao who did her a favor.
Zhang Lexuan watched from the side, and sighed softly in her heart again.
As the senior disciple of the inner courtyard, how could she not understand Wu Ming's personality?
Looking at the girl's current wistful expression, it's likely that her quick decision to risk absorbing the soul ring wasn't just because of the allure of the soul bone, but also because she subconsciously didn't want to fall too far behind her exceptionally talented junior brother.
Junior brother, perhaps you don't actually have those kinds of thoughts.
But it's hard to stop someone from liking something.
Hopefully, you'll be able to sort out these complicated entanglements in the future.
After Zhang Lexuan composed herself, she resumed directing everyone to help Wu Ming absorb the soul bone.
Wu Ming sat cross-legged beside the flaming griffin.
Guided by the golden-red soul power within her body, the griffin feather soul bone that had been floating in mid-air slowly drifted down and came to Wu Ming's back.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not hesitate and a powerful surge of spiritual energy emerged, enveloping the milky-white secret technique soul bone.
Almost the instant their mental powers made contact, the surface of that peculiar soul bone shone with a brilliant golden luster, and then began to dissolve at an astonishing speed. In just a few breaths, it completely turned into a ball of golden liquid the size of a fist.
Guided by Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, it flowed continuously into Wu Ming's slightly parted red lips.
The golden liquid melted instantly upon entering her throat. Wu Ming subconsciously licked her lips, her moist lips shimmering alluringly in the dim light.
She winked at Huo Yuhao and said with a grin, "Junior, you seem kind of sweet."
What's going on?
It seems like Senior Wu Ming was implying something in her words?
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, then reminded her, "Time is precious, Senior Sister Wu Ming, you should hurry up and start fusing your soul bone."
Wu Ming also put aside her teasing of the junior students and her expression became serious.
She took a deep breath and began to manipulate the soul bone to merge into her body.
The golden-red soul power made contact with the soul bone. Under the influence of Wu Ming's soul power, the soul bone began to melt like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, turning into a pool of viscous, crimson liquid that slowly seeped into her back.
As an inner court student, Wu Ming was naturally not fusing soul bones for the first time, but fusing one of such high quality and age, especially the rarest external soul bone, was definitely a first.
It's no exaggeration to say that this external soul bone, if it appeared in any auction house on the continent, could easily fetch nearly a hundred million gold soul coins.
As the crimson liquid began to touch Wu Ming's back skin, an incredibly hot aura began to emanate from it.
Wu Ming's pretty face instantly turned bright red. She couldn't help but let out a suppressed groan. Fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on her smooth forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
Fusing soul bones is an extremely painful process, let alone a high-age external soul bone containing violent fire attribute energy.
Even though the secret technique of the Soul Bone reduced some of the pain, the excruciating pain, like bones being shattered and reassembled and meridians being scorched by flames, was still a considerable test for her.
Fortunately, as time passed, Wu Ming's aura gradually became stable, merging with the energy of the soul bone.
Suddenly, she let out a delicate shout, her body leaping into the air. A pair of golden crow wings, burning with brilliant crimson-gold flames and flowing with dazzling light, unfurled from her back.
Each feather on those wings seemed to be formed from the purest true fire of the sun; a gentle flap could stir up a stream of blazing light.
Clearly, the Griffin Feather Soul Bone fused with Wu Ming's original Golden Crow Martial Soul Wings, resulting in a more powerful and benign mutation.
Wu Ming excitedly circled and danced in mid-air. With each flap of her brand-new golden crow wings, specks of crimson-gold sparks drifted down like streams of light.
These sparks fell to the ground, but instead of burning the grass and trees, they emitted a strange, warm aura.
As that warm aura spread, everyone present could feel a significant improvement in their physical fitness and even the speed of their soul power flow.
This seems to be a field of continuous growth? Huo Yuhao's eyes showed surprise.
Wu Ming folded her wings from mid-air and slowly landed back in front of Huo Yuhao.
Her pretty face was filled with excitement and joy. Unable to contain her emotions any longer, she hugged Huo Yuhao tightly again.
Only after truly fusing with the soul bone did Wu Ming realize more deeply just how immense the power of the secret technique soul bone provided by Huo Yuhao truly was.
The excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone was so intense that she wasn't even sure she could have endured it if it hadn't been reduced by 20%.
Not to mention, thanks to the assistance of that soul bone, the fusion effect was surprisingly good, and even the quality of her martial soul was improved to a certain extent.
Although it still hasn't reached the level of ultimate fire, it's almost on par with Ma Xiaotao's Evil Phoenix Fire, and in some aspects even surpasses it.
When Huo Yuhao was embraced by a warm and soft woman, his body stiffened involuntarily.
The air around my nose was filled with Wu Ming's unique fragrance, carrying a faint scent of fire.
He could clearly feel his senior's body trembling slightly with excitement, and the amazing softness of her chest.
Huo Yuhao patted the somewhat excited Wu Ming on the back and said helplessly, "Senior Wu Ming, you still have spirit rings to absorb."
Wu Ming calmed her excited emotions, but her peach-colored eyes were still shimmering with tears.
She leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of heat.
"Junior, I have no way to repay your great kindness. How about I repay you with my body?"
Huo Yuhao was taken aback by Wu Ming's bold and straightforward statement, and for a moment he was not sure what she meant.
After all, Wu Ming is usually impulsive and often speaks without thinking. Who knows if what she's saying now is just a joke on a whim?
Huo Yuhao coughed lightly, trying to change the subject, and cautiously said, "Senior Sister Wu Ming, Senior Sister also helped you a lot this time."
"Oh, junior, senior sister is the most magnanimous person, she wouldn't hold such a grudge against me."
Wu Ming chuckled, but tightened her grip on his arm even more.
"When we get back to the academy, I'll show you some interesting things."
Holding Huo Yuhao so intimately at this moment, Wu Ming could more clearly feel that he seemed to be exuding a very alluring aura.
Warm and clean, like the afternoon sun in early spring, it makes you want to get closer and immerse yourself in it.
For a moment, Wu Ming's heart was also stirred, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Wu Ming was already secretly calculating in his heart that after he absorbed the soul ring, he should be able to easily suppress Ma Xiaotao in terms of raw strength.
But what if Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen team up against me?
I should have tried to drag Sister Ruoruo down with me. With Sister Ruoruo around, everyone can live a more peaceful and harmonious life.
Wu Ming silently gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.
Sigh, she really worries herself sick over this little family.
Zhang Lexuan, standing to the side, watched the two still embracing, especially Wu Ming, who seemed unwilling to let go and even looked somewhat intoxicated.
She suddenly began to wonder if it wasn't actually Huo Yuhao's fault, but rather that they were all rushing to get close to him.
Zhang Lexuan coughed lightly and offered a timely reminder.
"Ming'er, the soul ring is about to dissipate, hurry up and absorb it."
Wu Ming then realized her lapse in composure, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she reluctantly let go of Huo Yuhao.
She playfully stuck out her tongue at Zhang Lexuan, then obediently sat down cross-legged again beside the griffin and began to draw upon the jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring.
With a shared external soul bone as a foundation and improved physical attributes, Wu Ming was full of confidence in successfully absorbing this soul ring that was nearly 60,000 years old.
……
On a high slope dozens of miles away.
The campfire had long since died out, leaving only a few wisps of white smoke rising from the ashes.
A translucent, blood-red, twisted serpent-like strange beast soul emerged from the damp soil and, like a ghost, merged into the body of one of the gray-robed elders.
Zhong Litian, whose eyes had previously appeared somewhat dull and vacant, finally regained some sparkle in his turbid eyes.
He raised his head and looked at Zhongli Wu, who had put his cloak back on and hidden his face in the shadows. He opened his mouth and uttered an old and dry voice.
"Master, over there is a group of Shrek Academy students hunting for spirit rings. Based on my assessment, there should also be a Title Douluo hiding among them."
"Those Shrek Academy students must have had some incredible luck. The soul beast they just killed actually produced an extremely rare winged external soul bone."
"Master, what do you think we should do now? Continue searching for the auspicious beast, or...?"
In the end, Zhong Litian's hoarse voice, like a broken bellows, also carried a hint of greed.
Unlike soul rings, which can only follow one soul master, soul bones are treasures that can be passed down, as long as the soul bone itself is not destroyed.
Once the original owner dies, or the limb containing the soul bone is severed, it can be reabsorbed by others.
Killing people and taking their bones is as commonplace as eating rice for these evil spirit masters.
Moreover, it was an external soul bone whose value was comparable to a 100,000-year soul ring, and even more precious in some aspects.
Zhongli Wu's face, hidden beneath his cloak, also twitched slightly.
His original plan to devour the auspicious beast was not only to break through to the Limit Douluo realm, but also had a deeper purpose.
That is, once the auspicious beast dies, the Beast God Di Tian will surely be enraged, thus setting off a massive beast tide.
At that time, Shrek City, which is closest to the Star Dou Great Forest, will inevitably become the primary target, which will be perfect for drawing all attention and anger away from him.
Compared to the completely unpredictable auspicious beasts, keeping these Shrek Academy members permanently in the Star Dou Great Forest might not be a bad option.
Not only can it disgust Shrek Academy, but it can also obtain that precious external soul bone.
Although the attributes of that winged soul bone do not match his own, he can still make a fortune by exchanging it with others for the resources they need or by selling it at a high price.
A strange, blood-red light flashed in the deep purple eyes beneath Zhongli Wu's cloak.
He nodded slightly, his voice indifferent.
"Walk."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhongli Wu's figure transformed into a dense mass of black light and disappeared from the high slope.
The three Zhongli brothers dared not delay and immediately transformed into three gray shadows, following closely behind.
……
"Someone else is here!"
Huo Yuhao's voice suddenly rang out, and Zhang Lexuan's eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Encountering other Soul Masters in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest is almost never a good thing.
Everyone who comes here is here to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings.
Once several groups of people set their sights on the same soul beast, or if they disagree on certain interests, then conflict becomes almost inevitable.
Not to mention that Wu Ming is currently at a critical moment in absorbing spirit rings and absolutely cannot be disturbed by any external factors.
The next moment, three figures suddenly appeared in the sight of the Shrek Academy students.
They were three elderly men who were exactly the same in appearance, clothing, and even the canes they were using.
They all looked to be at least seventy years old, with dry, unkempt gray hair, thin bodies, and a sinister air about them on their wrinkled faces.
Zhong Litian, who was in the lead, had an undisguised greedy glint in his turbid eyes as he looked at Wu Ming, who was sitting cross-legged behind the group, absorbing soul rings.
Zhong Litian let out a hoarse and unpleasant laugh, like a broken bellows.
"Heh, as expected of a student from Shrek Academy, your senses are quite sharp."
Huo Yuhao's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
His gaze swept over the three identical old men in front of him, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
He never expected to run into these three old guys here again.
However, this time the situation is different from when we met in our previous life.
In their previous life, the one who led them into the Star Dou Great Forest was Cai Meier, who was only a Title Douluo and mostly responsible for teaching in the inner academy, and whose practical combat experience was relatively lacking.
This time, however, it was Yan Shaozhe hiding in the shadows.
To put it bluntly, even if the Zhongli brothers had only one hand, Yan Shaozhe could easily kill them.
