Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 29 New Discovery of Soul Bones

Upon seeing Jerry's soul bone, Erming said, "Actually, we've encountered soul bones before over the past tens of thousands of years. Although soul bones contain a lot of soul power that we soul beasts can't absorb, and they also contain some of the original spiritual power of soul beasts, so they come with soul skills. We were afraid that if humans obtained them after losing them, they would become even more powerful, so we threw them all into Daming's Lake of Life for cultivation! If you want them, Daming can retrieve them for you!"

Hearing this, Jerry got excited. Tens of thousands of years of savings must be a lot! Thinking of this, he quickly went with Erming to call out to Daming!

It's a pity Jerry doesn't have the protagonist's halo. Da Ming fished out seven or eight soul bones, but they had all rotted in the water for years, and not a single one was intact. He really doesn't have the fate of a protagonist. Protagonists can kill at will, and even hundred-year-old soul beasts drop soul bones. They can even pick up soul bones themselves. But when it comes to Jerry, he's nothing!

Time really is a cruel mistress! Even such a tough soul bone couldn't withstand the passage of time! Now, there are a few more useless pieces!

Suddenly, a thought struck me: soul bones are bones too! My martial soul should be able to absorb them! Without further ado, I went to the cultivation area near the entrance, buried all the soul bones there, and then planted my martial soul on top! Even whole bones can be absorbed, although not as quickly as when ground into powder, but it's still possible!

Jerry began to control his martial spirit. Under the observation of his mental power, he saw his martial spirit rapidly growing many roots, which then slowly enveloped the soul bone in the soil. Some of Jerry's tiny roots even tried to squeeze into the bone, as if they could! Jerry felt hopeful and focused intently on his work. Sure enough, several hours passed, and some tiny roots penetrated into the soul bone. It seemed that the life of plants was truly amazing! Then Jerry felt waves of soul power surging in. He quickly activated an advanced meditation technique to accelerate the refining process. Jerry felt comfortable and warm all over!

Then Jerry felt a wisp of spiritual energy coming from him. Jerry's martial soul was actually devouring the spiritual energy of the original spirit beast in the spirit bone. Jerry was stunned. He had never absorbed spiritual energy from the bone fertilizer he had absorbed before. That was because ordinary bones did not contain the spiritual energy of spirit beasts. Only spirit rings and spirit bones contained it.

Now that his martial soul is absorbing the spiritual power from the soul bone, his own spiritual power is also increasing as he can sense it. Previously, Jerry's spiritual power was so strong that he could sense anything within two meters, and now that range is continuously increasing! Knowing the benefits of increased spiritual power, Jerry quickly began to cultivate seriously!

Cultivation knows no time. Jerry cultivated for a full four months. Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming could tell he was at a crucial stage of his cultivation, so they didn't disturb him! Jerry had just woken up feeling utterly exhausted. He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for four months, and he couldn't yet achieve the state of fasting. Now he was skin and bones. He quickly asked Xiao Wu to get him some food, and he wolfed it down. After eating over ten pounds of roasted meat, Jerry finally felt alive again. Seeing Jerry like this, Xiao Wu was extremely worried. She was only relieved to know he was alright and told him to eat more to replenish his nutrition in the next few days!

After recovering, Jerry checked his status and found that his soul power cultivation had reached level 40, with a vague feeling that it was even higher. Before he had attached a soul ring, Jerry could sense his soul power level, but now that the level was higher, his sense of it was less accurate. After all, this was his first time cultivating, and Jerry still lacked knowledge of high-level cultivation!

Summoning his Martial Soul, it underwent a dramatic transformation. Originally resembling a ginseng root, it now took the form of a small child, with a clearly defined head, body, hands, and feet. Unlike a typical child, it sported a radish leaf atop its head, its color a vibrant orange-red. Furthermore, its body was now larger than the leaf. If the roots were scraped off and the leaf removed, it would look exactly like a newborn! Had his Martial Soul become sentient?! He checked it; thankfully, it lacked consciousness and remained under his control, which reassured him considerably. He sensed that this Martial Soul evolution had increased his innate soul power to around level eight. In that sense, Jerry was quite the prodigy; even without planting a Martial Soul, his cultivation speed wouldn't be slow!
