Douluo Continent: Qian Daoliu has had a crush on me for a long time

Chapter 93 Absorbing the Torso Bones

"No, this soul bone seems pretty good now, but in the long run it's not the best. You should wait a little longer; there will be a better head soul bone."

Ye Jingqiu listened in silence. In her eyes, this soul bone was indeed quite good, but Qian Daoliu was a peerless Douluo-level expert. What kind of good things hadn't he seen? These things were nothing to him.

Qian Daoliu sighed, "This soul bone isn't bad. Don't overthink it. Since you've already absorbed it, that's fine. By the way, was your aunt in such a hurry for you to absorb this soul bone for the first test of your godhood?"

Ye Jingqiu nodded slightly. "That's right."

"What is the first test?"

Facing Qian Daoliu, Ye Jingqiu prepared to tell the truth, "The first test is the theft of cause and effect. Steal the memories of the turning points in the fates of three powerful individuals, implant false cause and effect through the Soul-Capturing Bell, and make them make choices against their true nature. The targets include the guardian of the Slaughter City, the Azure Bull Python of the Star Dou Forest, and the High Priest of Seagod Island. The time limit is three years. The Soul-Capturing Affinity will increase by 15%, the Soul Ring Age will be increased by 1,000 years, and the divine skill 'Destiny Writing' will be unlocked."

She recited the exam content word for word.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu frowned deeply. "Poseidon?"

Ye Jingqiu was stunned and asked in confusion, "What is that?"

Qian Daoliu said with a serious expression, "Poseidon is the high priestess of Poseidon Island. Her nickname is Invincible Ocean. Her strength is already infinitely close to that of a god."

"Approaching God?" Ye Jingqiu was shocked. She had thought that this high priest would be very strong, but she did not expect him to be this strong. He was close to the strength of a god. That was a god who was unattainable!

"Her soul power is level 99, she is also a peerless Douluo, and her soul ring configuration is the same as mine: black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red."

"She is known as the invincible one in the ocean, especially when she is on Poseidon Island. She can mobilize the power of the sea god. Even when I face her in the ocean, she has an absolute advantage. However, she has a weakness: her strength will decrease after she leaves Poseidon Island."

Ye Jingqiu pondered for a moment, "So, if I just summon this high priestess from the ocean to land, her power will be weakened, right?"

"Yes and no," Qian Daoliu said. "Precisely because she is the high priestess of Seagod Island, she would never leave Seagod Island unless there is a reason. Getting her to leave Seagod Island is almost an impossible task."

"I know a little about the Killing City, but not much. I don't know the intricacies of it, but it is undoubtedly a very dangerous place."

"Of these three, the Azure Bull Python is relatively easier to deal with."

Ye Jingqiu asked, "Which 100,000-year-old soul beast is the Grand Elder referring to?"

"That's right. The Azure Bull Python is one of the two overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest. Its strength has long surpassed that of ordinary Title Douluo. It is called the Azure Bull Python because it has a bull's head and a snake's body. It is huge, so it is easy for speed-type Soul Masters to target it. Moreover, its mental defense is relatively weak."

After a pause, Qian Daoliu said with a serious expression, "But you need to be careful of another overlord in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape. If it's just one of them, it's easier to break through them one by one, but if they're together, it will be much more difficult. So it's best to lure the Titan Giant Ape away first."

Ye Jingqiu nodded thoughtfully.

Qian Daoliu said, "But don't worry, I have a way to get rid of the Titan Giant Ape. You just need to focus on dealing with the Azure Bull Python. It's just that your first test is really difficult."

Ye Jingqiu smiled helplessly, but there was no other way in this situation, so I could only do my best.

She had expected Qian Daoliu to comfort her like everyone else, but to her surprise, he said, "However, as the saying goes, a sword's edge is forged through tempering. I believe nothing is impossible in this world. Since the first test has occurred, there must be a way to solve it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu suddenly smiled, "My thoughts are the same as the Grand Elder's, and I will definitely work hard as well."

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu nodded in satisfaction and said, "I have a piece of Chaos Core torso bone here, which comes from a 100,000-year-old Chaos Beast. Due to special circumstances at the time, no one absorbed its soul ring, so this soul bone was left behind after the soul ring dissipated."

"The Chaos Core Body Bone has the ability to convert conflicting energy from the Soul Bone into power of the same frequency, reducing the absorption burden by 70% and preventing Soul Power from going berserk."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu's eyes lit up immediately. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for her to absorb those three soul bones?

Qian Daoliu shook his head at this moment and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. This soul bone has the ability to link with other soul bones, so you cannot call up any soul bone abilities for twelve hours after using it. Also, when your torso bones are pierced, all the soul bone energy will backfire, and you will definitely die."

Ye Jingqiu lowered his head and thought for a while, then finally spoke without any hesitation, "I want to give it a try."

"good!"

As soon as the words fell, a black bone appeared in mid-air, its surface covered with dark gold cracks.

"Since time is of the essence, let's absorb it now."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingqiu gritted her teeth and sat down. "The timid starve, the bold thrive," she thought. "Since that's the case, I'll give it a try!"

The Chaos Core's torso bones floated in mid-air. The moment Ye Jingqiu reached out to touch it, a bone-chilling cold exploded along his finger bones, and his entire arm was instantly covered in frost.

The joints made a teeth-grinding cracking sound, as if countless steel needles were piercing through the bone marrow.

The dark gold spine suddenly embedded itself into his back, and a burning sensation and a chill exploded within his body at the same time.

The latest novel is first published here!

A metallic, sweet taste rose in his throat, but Ye Jingqiu forced himself to remain normal.

From the depths of the soul bone came the roar of an ancient ferocious beast, and countless streams of chaotic energy surged and crashed through the meridians.

The third rib on the left side suddenly twisted and deformed, and a worm-like bulge appeared under the skin, growing wildly along the chest cavity.

She absolutely mustn't faint! Ye Jingqiu thought this was the only hope she had left for her.

His fingernails dug deep into his palm, but the pain was drowned out by an even more intense vortex of soul power.

Her internal organs were shifting, and Ye Jingqiu could clearly feel her stomach being squeezed to her right abdomen by the power of chaos, and her heart was stopping and starting under the impact of energy.

Ye Jingqiu clearly felt it crushing and reassembling her bones inch by inch.

When the seventh skeletal remodeling began, the power of chaos transformed into thousands of sharp teeth that gnawed at the nerves.

A broken roar finally escaped from his throat, his vocal cords hoarse from being burned by the power of chaos.

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu stepped forward with a serious expression. He had been standing beside Ye Jingqiu, observing her condition.

Just as his consciousness was about to fade away, Ye Jingqiu mustered his last strength to mobilize his soul power. The moment the soul bone completely merged into his skin, Ye Jingqiu opened his eyes.
