The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 124 Martial Soul Fusion Technique

After finishing the refining of Tang Hao's spirit, Xia Liang selected a pale golden herb with a special floral fragrance from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch and entered Dugu Bo's room.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was still lying unconscious in bed.

Xia Liang placed a potted plant containing pale golden herbs on the bedside table and sat on the edge of the bed watching Dugu Bo.

This pale golden herb is a rare and precious natural treasure, and its fragrance has certain healing effects. Inhaling it can quickly eliminate various abnormal conditions in the body.

The fragrance of flowers, carried by his breath, entered his nose, which at least alleviated the pain in Dugu Bo's head caused by the backlash from the skull injury.

Much later.

It seemed that his injuries had recovered somewhat under Ye Lingling's treatment, and after more than half a day of recuperation and the healing fragrance of pale golden herbs, Dugu Bo finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes slightly.

It was this slight movement that immediately woke Xia Liang, who was resting with his eyes closed by the bedside.

"Old Deng, you're awake."

Hearing Xia Liang's greeting, Dugu Bo's consciousness fully returned. He was about to get up when he suddenly screamed in agony from a splitting headache.

Xia Liang quickly helped Dugu Bo sit cross-legged on the bed.

His body is able to move normally, and it seems that apart from the skull injury, Dugu Bo's other injuries are no longer a major concern.

"Kid, where's Tang Hao?" Dugu Bo asked, only then remembering to ask.

"Don't worry, Tang Hao is already dead."

As he spoke, Xia Liang activated his external eye bone skill.

Suddenly, the space in front of him began to rotate clockwise, and then six strangely shaped, differently colored bone-like objects were placed in Xia Liang's hands.

"Are these soul bones?" Dugu Bo stared at Xia Liang in surprise.

"Yes. These six soul bones were dropped from Tang Hao's body," Xia Liang said. "Now that Tang Hao's body has been reduced to ashes, there's no chance he can come back to life. Old Deng, there's no time to lose, you should absorb these soul bones quickly."

As he spoke, Xia Liang took out a head soul bone and then placed the remaining five soul bones on the bedside table.

"I've examined them. The soul bones on Tang Hao's body are all over 70,000 years old. After absorbing these five soul bones, you can increase your soul power by at least two or three levels."

Upon hearing the news of Tang Hao's death, and looking at the five soul bones placed on his bedside table, Dugu Bo smiled with relief, but the movement of his lips caused a headache.

Clutching his head and enduring the excruciating pain, Dugu Bo's smile vanished completely, and his face turned grim once more.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that his grandson-in-law had arrived in time to help him during yesterday's battle with Tang Hao; otherwise, he would not only have suffered a skull injury, but his entire body might have been smashed into mincemeat by Tang Hao.

"Kid, you deserve all the credit for killing Tang Hao this time. If anyone's going to absorb the soul bone, it should be you. Don't refuse. Take it back."

Just as Dugu Bo was about to return the five soul bones placed on the bedside table to Xia Liang, Xia Liang stopped him.

"Old Deng, do you think we're distributing spoils of war right now? I'm letting you absorb Tang Hao's five soul bones to prepare for the Clear Sky Sect's future retaliation."

"The sect has been closed for many years. Besides the sect leader, there must be other members of the Clear Sky Sect who have been promoted to Title Douluo. Although Tang Hao has been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, he was still a genius of the sect. Do you think the Clear Sky Sect will remain silent after learning of Tang Hao's death?"

Xia Liang said solemnly, "Once the Title Douluos of the Clear Sky Sect launch a group attack, our Martial Soul Fusion Technique alone is no match for them."

"After much thought, the only way to deal with this situation is for you to absorb all of Tang Hao's soul bones. Once you have enough strength, coupled with the Azure Dragon Emperor's terrifying group battle ability, you will have the confidence to face the Clear Sky Sect's retaliation."

After hearing this explanation, Dugu Bo suddenly realized that the Clear Sky Sect had two Douluo. If the current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect was not Tang Hao, then it must be Tang Hao's elder brother, Tang Xiao, who was also a Title Douluo.

Upon learning of Tang Hao's death, Tang Xiao, the current sect leader of the Haotian Sect, will undoubtedly seek revenge.

At full power, the Spirit Fusion Skill "Azure Dragon Emperor in Mighty Armor" can kill a level 96 Title Douluo, but the difference in spirit power between the two parties in the Spirit Fusion is too great to sustain a long battle.

When faced with the encirclement and suppression of several Title Douluos from the Haotian Sect, he will still have to rely on himself to turn the tide.

Dugu Bo hadn't expected his grandson-in-law to have considered things so far ahead. It seemed that only by absorbing the soul bone that had exploded from Tang Hao could he truly possess the strength to oppose the entire Clear Sky Sect.

"This whole affair started because of me. You risked your life to help me so much, yet all you got was Tang Hao's head soul bone. Kid, you've really been wronged."

Dugu Bo was somewhat moved, but looking at the five soul bones placed on his bedside table that he was about to absorb, he also felt a little guilty.

"Who said this head fragment was for me?"

Xia Liang looked at the silver-white head soul bone in his hands and smiled, "This is an 80,000-year-old head soul bone. After absorbing it, you will not only gain a great boost to your mental attributes, but also a soul bone skill that can shield your aura and mental detection. Such a useful head soul bone is naturally reserved for Yan Yan."

"You," Dugu Bo stared at Xia Liang in surprise. This was a high-level soul bone, so why did it seem worthless in his grandson-in-law's eyes?

Or perhaps, this grandson-in-law's feelings for his granddaughter are so deep that he's willing to give up such an ancient soul bone.

"Kid, aren't you being a little too nice to our Dugu family?" Dugu Bo said in a complaining tone.

"Old Deng, you and Yan Yan are the only two family I have left. If I don't treat you well, who will I treat well?"

After listening to Xia Liang's words, Dugu Bo was somewhat moved. After the battle with Tang Hao, the two had become comrades-in-arms who had shared life and death.

Hearing these words again caught Dugu Bo completely off guard. In particular, the word "family" struck a nerve with his deepest weakness: kinship.

"Stop being so emotional. The sooner the better. Hurry up and absorb the soul bone."

Patting Dugu Bo on the shoulder, Xia Liang put the head soul bone into the silver bracelet. He said that he had his own reasons for saying those words that moved Dugu Bo.

Aside from a few genuine expressions of affection, he mostly wanted Dugu Bo to know how good he was to the Dugu family, so that if he had any scandals with other women in the future, they wouldn't immediately break off relations.

After reaching an agreement, Dugu Bo sat cross-legged on the bed and fused Tang Hao's soul bones from his limbs with his body one by one.

When he finished absorbing the four soul bones, along with the original Medusa skull, Dugu Bo now possessed five high-age soul bones, each over 70,000 years old.

The last piece of 90,000-year-old torso bone merged into his body, and a surge of soul power continuously erupted from Dugu Bo's body, turning the entire room into a vibrant green.

Standing five meters away, Xia Liang used his X-ray vision to observe the changes in Dugu Bo's skeletal structure and various meridians.

He discovered that after collecting all six soul bones, Dugu Bo's bones were strengthened to the extreme, and the thickness of the soul power flowing in his body increased at least four or five times.

If I'm not mistaken, Dugu Bo's soul power has increased from level 92 to level 96. Relying on the soul skills of his six soul bones, his personal strength absolutely crushes Chrysanthemum Douluo or Ghost Douluo, who are both at level 95.

And its ability to fight in groups goes without saying.

The Azure Dragon Emperor possesses the bloodline of a true dragon. The Dragon Emperor's Poison he uses can attack enemies in the sky using his domain, and can also extend his attacks underground using the earth attribute.

Aside from naval battles, Dugu Bo, whose soul power had reached level 96, was now a well-rounded warrior, invincible below level 97.

If the Odd-colored Gastly and Dugu Bo were to launch a large-scale poison mist attack together, then after the black poison mist, imbued with the power of the Snow Swan Kiss, is activated, Dugu Bo's Dragon Emperor Poison Mist should be able to take on a level 97 Title Douluo single-handedly.

Furthermore, with the addition of the Azure Dragon Emperor's majestic form, his strength will be greatly enhanced, thus eliminating any worry about being besieged by the titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect.

a few days later.

night.

Tian Dou City, Imperial Palace.

The Crown Prince's Palace.

After showing the guards at the gate the gold token given to him by Xue Qinghe, Xia Liang pushed open the door and walked in after arriving at the Crown Prince's palace.

Xue Qinghe had already taught him how to open the secret passage. Following the steps, he quickly passed through the passage and arrived at the entrance of the secret chamber.

At this time, Xue Qinghe should have finished dealing with state affairs and entered the secret chamber to cultivate under the identity of Qian Renxue.

Xia Liang was staying at the palace for a few days when he came here. He wanted to ask Qian Renxue to request the Hall of Worship's Worship Master to hunt down the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as his sixth soul ring.

These past few days, he's been thinking about how to explain to Qian Renxue why he acquired level 60 soul power so quickly.

After much consideration, the explanation of divine intervention seems more reasonable.

Even Qian Renxue's grandfather, Qian Daoliu, only had a vague understanding of the Angel God's status in the God Realm. He certainly didn't know that above the Angel God, there were two God Kings and three Law Enforcement Gods.

Therefore, when Qian Daoliu tried to question his claim of being the successor of the two great god-kings or the three great law enforcement gods, he simply lacked the knowledge to do so.

At that time, all sorts of divine examination rules and divine examination marks can be fabricated in the name of the God King's inheritance.

Xia Liang was glad that he had finished reading the original story about the legend of the God Realm, and knew the relationships between the gods and some of the rules of the God Realm. He was confident that he could use these original settings to deal with Qian Renxue or Qian Daoliu.

I just hope this grandfather and granddaughter don't possess any supernatural abilities to summon gods.

If they could bring the angel god himself over for a face-to-face confrontation, Xia Liang felt he had no choice but to accept his fate.

Furthermore, according to the original description, the Heavenly Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, is a symbol of the Sea God's inheritance. As long as one gains the Vast Ocean Universe Cover's approval, then participating in the Sea God Island assessment will inevitably be the most advanced of the Nine Sea God Trials.

If his fabricated identity as the successor of the God King's Divine Examination is exposed, then revealing the secret of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to Qian Renxue might earn him some trust.

After thinking of various excuses and possible accidents, Xia Liang placed his hand on the wall. Through a sensing mechanism similar to a soul power crystal ball, a crack in the wall suddenly appeared.

Xia Liang stepped through the crack in the door and entered the secret room. The moment he stepped inside, the crack disappeared, leaving only four walls, completely sealed off.

Five meters ahead, sitting on a golden stone bed was a woman with long golden hair. She was none other than Qian Renxue, Xue Qinghe after she had shed her disguise.

Because the room was sealed off and the air circulation was poor, the only way to purify the air was by placing a few special plants in the surrounding corners.

As a result, Qian Renxue's hair and body fragrance permeated the stagnant air, giving one the feeling of entering a woman's den.

However, this place is indeed a den of women.

Although they addressed each other as brothers, the woman sitting cross-legged on the stone bed meditating before them was indeed a genuine woman.

Xia Liang thought it was quite good to become sworn brothers with Qian Renxue. This way, he could maintain his romantic relationship with Dugu Yan without worrying about Qian Renxue causing trouble.

At this moment, a faint golden aura burst forth from Qian Renxue's body.

Xia Liang activated his X-ray vision and, through clothing and flesh, clearly saw the flow of soul power within Qian Renxue's body. The thickness of her soul power was exactly the same as his own, indicating that Qian Renxue had also broken through the level 60 bottleneck.

As her aura subsided and meditation ended, Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes. What met her gaze were Xia Liang's eyes, which were using X-ray vision.

"Brother, have you seen enough?" Qian Renxue asked coldly.

Xia Liang deactivated his X-ray vision and quickly cupped his hands in greeting, "Brother Xue, I didn't expect you to have cultivated to the level 60 Quasi-Soul Emperor so quickly. Congratulations!"

"Fast?" Qian Renxue chuckled self-deprecatingly. "If you were my age, you'd probably be a Soul Saint by now, right? In order to carry out the infiltration plan in the palace, I've long neglected my Soul Master cultivation."

"If that's the case, why doesn't Brother Xue give up sooner?" Xia Liang reminded him. "With your innate level 20 soul power talent, if you focus on cultivation now, you can still make up for it."

"It's not as easy as you make it sound." Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly. "I've been lying low for over ten years. If I give up now, wouldn't all my efforts over the past decade be in vain?"

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about you."

Qian Renxue stared at Xia Liang and asked curiously, "According to Sect Master Ning, you and Poison Douluo joined forces to use a Martial Soul Fusion Technique to kill the once-famous Haotian Douluo. Is that true?"

"It's true. Brother Xue, you know the relationship between Dugu Yan and me. Since Poison Douluo is Dugu Yan's grandfather, he is naturally my grandfather as well. Haotian Douluo has gone too far to bully us, so I certainly can't stand idly by. Fortunately, Poison Douluo and I have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill to protect us, otherwise we would be no match for Haotian Douluo at all."

After listening to Xia Liang's story, Qian Renxue smiled amusedly. "It seems the Skeleton Martial Soul isn't picky at all. Brother, besides Poison Douluo, can you and Dugu Yan also perform a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?"

Xia Liang was stumped by the question.

Qian Renxue frowned. "From the moment you stepped into the secret chamber, my Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul resonated extremely strongly. It seems your strength has greatly improved after the battle with Haotian Douluo. Could it be that your Skeleton Martial Soul has evolved again?"

No, not at all.

Seeing that Qian Renxue had changed the subject to Dugu Yan, Xia Liang thought for a moment before speaking truthfully, "Brother Xue, it is said that when soul power is similar, the resonance between their martial souls can become stronger."

"You mean to say that your soul power has also reached the level 60 bottleneck?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat puzzled, "As far as I know, you seem to only have the soul power of a fourth-ring Soul Master, right?"

"This is my fault. Brother Xue, I forgot to tell you. Actually, I broke through the level 50 bottleneck half a year ago when I entered Death Valley for training, and asked Poison Douluo to help me obtain my fifth spirit ring."

Xia Liang got straight to the point, "The reason I came to disturb you in the secret chamber this time is because my soul power has reached level sixty, just like yours, and I need to obtain my sixth soul ring to advance."
