Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Emperor, Unifying the Continent!

Small schemes may not accomplish great things, but they can certainly contribute to and pave the way for great things.

Xu Tianming is indeed now Elder Mu's disciple, but only for a year. He can feel Elder Mu's high regard for him, but as for how deep their feelings are, that's hard to say.

Wherever it can be done, it should still be done.

"A 20,000-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear paw bone would indeed be difficult for you to absorb with your current cultivation level."

Old Mu nodded, agreeing with Xu Tianming's cautious approach.

The absorption of spirit rings is different from that of spirit bones. The absorption of spirit rings is attached to the spirit, which is separated from the human body by a layer.

But absorbing a soul bone means directly fusing your body and the soul bone into one!

In some ways, this is more dangerous than absorbing a spirit ring.

"Alright then, Tianming, you absorb the essence in front of the teacher, and the teacher will protect you."

It is indeed dangerous for a level 42 Soul Master to absorb the external Soul Bone of a 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, but Xu Tianming is different from other level 40 Soul Masters. His physical strength has been tempered.

With a soul power cultivation level of 42, his physical strength is already approaching that of a Soul Emperor!

With him, a Limit Douluo, protecting her, the level of danger has been reduced to a minimum.

"good!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Tianming sat down cross-legged on the spot and grasped the soul bone in his left palm.

"Don't rush to absorb it; first, get your body into the best possible condition."

Old Master Mu's voice rang in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tianming felt a gentle aura of light surrounding him.

This aura of light was not as pure as his ultimate light attribute, but its energy was extremely vast, and it quickly helped him adjust his physical condition.

A few minutes later, Xu Tianming's physical condition was adjusted to its best, and he was ready to begin absorbing the soul bone.

Guided by Xu Tianming's soul power, the soul bone he held in his left hand, radiating a dark golden luster, slowly transformed into a liquid and flowed into his palm.

At first, Xu Tianming felt very comfortable as the liquid formed from his soul bone enveloped his entire palm, bringing a warm sensation.

But soon, this warmth quickly turned scorching!

hot!

If the feeling just now was like having your palms wrapped in a basin of warm water, then the feeling now is like having your palms wrapped in a basin of boiling water, scalding hot!

"Hiss~"

Even though Xu Tianming had endured a lot of pain and was mentally prepared for the pain that might occur when absorbing soul bones, the feeling of his palms quickly becoming scorching hot, as if they were about to be cooked, still made him gasp in shock!

pain!

It really hurts!

"Tianming, hang in there! The greater the pain this soul bone inflicts on you, the stronger the soul skills it will grant you!"

"Old Mu said in a deep voice."

Zhang Lexuan, who was standing to the side, kept her eyes on Xu Tianming and watched as the soul bone turned into a dark golden liquid that enveloped Xu Tianming's entire left hand and gradually turned into a dark red light.

She could even feel that sharp aura and the burning sensation!

"Elder Mu, Tianming was able to absorb both the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Soul Ring and the Mutated Golden Crocodile Soul Ring simultaneously, so why is absorbing this Soul Bone so painful?"

A look of worry appeared on Zhang Lexuan's face.

Elder Mu shook his head slightly and said, "Absorbing a soul ring and absorbing a soul bone are different. The difficulty of absorbing a soul ring lies in the age of the soul ring, but the difficulty of absorbing a soul bone lies in the quality of the soul bone."

"Tianming was able to absorb the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Soul Ring because his own Martial Soul was powerful enough, and his physical strength far exceeded that of other Soul Masters of the same level. Absorbing Soul Bones is a test of a Soul Master's ability to absorb a single part of their body!"

What does the palm bone produced by a 20,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear mean? It means that this soul bone is very likely to endow the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with its most terrifying skill, namely the Dark Gold Terrorclaw!

The bloodline power contained in the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone is already terrifying. In addition, this is a 20,000-year-old Soul Bone, which means that almost half of the bloodline power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a top-tier Soul Beast, has been activated!

In this situation, for Tianming to absorb this soul bone means that he will have to contend with the left hand of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! And this will cause Tianming immense pain!

But if he can get through this, the benefits he'll reap will be enormous!

As he spoke, Elder Mu reached out his hand toward Xu Tianming, releasing wisps of luminous energy.

These bright energies cannot directly help Xu Tianming absorb the soul bone, but they can keep Xu Tianming's physical condition at its peak!

The pain from absorbing and fusing the soul bone, as well as the bloodline power erupting from the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Paw Bone, still required Xu Tianming to endure it all on his own!

"Can it hold up?"

Looking at Xu Tianming, who was drenched in sweat, a hint of solemnity flashed in Old Mu's aged eyes.

Xu Tianming was well aware of the extent of his physical strength. Absorbing this soul bone would be difficult, but it wasn't impossible.

The biggest challenge is actually enduring the intense pain generated during the fusion process!

A thirteen-year-old child...

He rubbed his fingertips, observing every movement on Xu Tianming's body.

If Xu Tianming can't withstand it, he will forcibly interrupt the absorption!

Time passed second by second, and Xu Tianming's clothes were soaked with sweat again and again, only to be dried by the scorching heat that kept escaping!

Both Elder Mu and Zhang Lexuan could clearly feel Xu Tianming's body convulsing in pain, but Xu Tianming still gritted his teeth and remained silent!

Willpower...

If Xu Tianming were an ordinary thirteen-year-old Soul Master, he would have already been driven to the brink of collapse and madness by this torment that had lasted for who knows how long!

But Xu Tianming was different; his willpower was much stronger than that of ordinary people!

Crackling sounds!

Suddenly, a crackling sound came from Xu Tianming's left hand, making Zhang Lexuan's heart tremble.

On the contrary, Elder Mu's tense expression eased slightly.

He knew that this was a sign that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Bone was fusing with Xu Tianming's left hand.

The most dangerous moment has passed; now all we need to do is wait for Xu Tianming to successfully absorb it.

While Xu Tianming was absorbing the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Paw Bone, far away in the imperial palace of the Sun Moon Empire's capital, Xu Tianran was looking at the intelligence secretly sent from Shrek City.

The Sixth Prince has entered Shrek Academy's inner court and has been accepted as a disciple by a powerful figure within the academy!

The intelligence was just a short sentence, but Xu Tianran read it for a very long time, scrutinizing every single word.

After a long while, he finally put down the note in his hand, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair. His expression was unreadable, only his deep voice echoed softly in the palace: "Sixth Brother's actions are quick enough..."
