Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, suppressing the surging soreness in her meridians, and adjusted her position and posture.

It was obvious that they were still a little unaccustomed to it the first time!

"Xiao Wu, I'll come behind you and channel the pure soul power into your body from behind. This will make the process smoother."

"Okay~"

Xiao Wu didn't understand any of this and could only let Ao Yin do as he pleased!

Ao Yin moved behind Xiao Wu, his warm hands gently resting on her back, which was damp with a thin layer of sweat.

"Brother Ao, Xiao Wu feels... that her soul power is still a bit sluggish."

"Yes, clothing can somewhat hinder the transmission of soul power!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu removed her sweat-soaked clothes, exposing her smooth back to the dim light in the forest. Ao Yin swallowed hard; now there was no obstacle!

"Then I'll give it my all!"

"It might hurt a lot, so bear with it!"

"Alright! Xiao Wu is ready!"

Xiao Wu also became nervous.

Ao Yin steadied himself, cleared his mind of distractions, and drew upon the vast amount of spiritual energy around him to transform it into soul power, which he then slowly channeled into Xiao Wu's body.

Without the obstruction of clothing, the flow of the two soul energies was indeed much smoother.

"Dual cultivation requires cooperation between both parties, and the transmission of soul power is also mutual. Don't just blindly receive my power. Try to imitate my circulation path and transmit your soul power back to me. Only by exchanging our origins can we both improve."

"I...I don't know what to do." Xiao Wu's breathing became slightly rapid.

"Don't panic, just follow the rhythm of my soul power and feel it slowly."

"Then... let's get moving, Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu calmed her mind and carefully felt the power flowing in her meridians. Following Ao Yin's rhythm, she actually learned to cooperate!

Following Ao Yin's guidance little by little, he pushed his own soul power in the opposite direction.

Amidst the flowers, Xiao Wu gradually got into the zone, enjoying herself even while sweating profusely.

This was the first time Xiao Wu had experienced such a surge of soul power, and the resulting increase in power caused her body to swell in waves.

There was both the soreness from the expansion of the meridians and the exhilaration from the rapid increase in cultivation level; the two sensations intertwined.

She could hear each other's slightly rapid breathing. She slowly found the rhythm of her soul power circulation and became completely immersed in cultivation.

"So this is dual cultivation! The improvement is amazing!"

She had just passed level thirty-six, and now her cultivation barrier was trembling constantly, and her soul power was visibly increasing.

Ao Yin also benefited greatly, as the core spiritual energy of the Star Dou was uniquely abundant, making his cultivation efficiency far superior to that of the outside world.

He was originally a level 40 Soul Master, and his level was steadily rising. However, the higher the realm, the greater the resistance to breakthrough, and his rate of increase was not as rapid as Xiao Wu's.

Time passed slowly, and two whole days went by.

"No... Brother Ao, it's too fast, Xiao Wu can't take it."

Xiao Wu, her breathing unsteady, called out to stop, "If we continue, something bad will happen."

After two days of intensive training, Xiao Wu's soul power soared, reaching level thirty-nine.

"The academy teachers said that cultivation must be solidified step by step. I have only recently advanced to the Soul Venerable realm. If I continue to advance so rapidly, my foundation will become unstable and leave hidden dangers."

Upon hearing this, Ao Yin nodded gently, reached out and pulled the exhausted Xiao Wu into his arms, picked up his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

"You're right. Cultivation should not be rushed; it requires a balance of effort and rest. So let's stop here for today."

He raised his hand and wiped away the thin layer of sweat from Xiao Wu's hair.

At this moment, Xiao Wu's face was flushed, her body was limp, and she obediently curled up on his lap, burying her face in her hands, showing a hint of girlish shyness.

After resting for a moment, Xiao Wu looked up and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother Ao, what level have you reached now?"

Including the previous day, in just three days, she had gone from level 29 to level 39. This progress made her feel a little excited. She was very concerned about the gap between her cultivation and Ao Yin's, and did not want to fall too far behind.

Ao Yin smiled faintly: "The higher the realm, the greater the barrier to each level. Thanks to cultivating with you, I have also broken through two levels and am now at level forty-two."

"I'm still better, I leveled up ten times!"

Xiao Wu propped herself up slightly from his lap, her clothes slipping down her shoulders. No longer dazed, she turned her head slightly and quickly and lightly touched Ao Yin's cheek.

"Thanks to Brother Ao, we should cultivate together like this again when we have time in the future."

Her soft body gently leaned against Ao Yin's chest.

After three consecutive days of intense soul power cultivation, both of them were exhausted, both physically and mentally. Ao Yin gently supported her, his expression serious.

"Although group cultivation leads to rapid progress, one must never be greedy. If the core spiritual energy of the Star Dou Great Forest were not so abundant, one would never be able to cultivate in this way, as it would easily damage one's own essence. One must know how to exercise restraint."

Xiao Wu nodded as if she understood, and then lay back down on his lap.

Exhausted, she soon fell into a deep sleep, her long eyelashes gently drooping. Ao Yin's fingertips lightly stroked Xiao Wu's scorpion braid as they lay down together to recover their energy!

[Remaining check-in attempts: 3!]

Ao Yin's lips curled up slightly. This was the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a treasure trove for signing in.

Looking down at Xiao Wu, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms, Ao Yin silently prayed to himself.

[System, check-in!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest!]

[Congratulations on obtaining a Level 4 reward—an external soul bone, the right paw bone of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!]

hiss--

Ao Yin gasped sharply.

That's a 100,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

A formidable beast that ranks alongside the Azure Bull Python among the top ten ferocious beasts. And what they obtained was an exceptionally rare right metacarpal bone!

The various soul bones produced by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear are extremely extraordinary. However, the vast majority are geared towards physical defense, especially the arm and palm bones, which are the only ones capable of unlocking ferocious offensive soul bone skills.

However, even the dark gold claws evolved from the arm bone are still no match for the power of the beast's true form, and cannot be considered truly top-tier.

The metacarpal bones are different; their drop rate is extremely low. Only the metacarpal bones retain the complete form of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw. Among the metacarpal bones produced by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, the right metacarpal bone is of the highest quality.

The piece of right metacarpal bone that I'm being given right now is exactly what I'm getting for signing in!

More importantly, this palm bone is an external soul bone. As we all know, external soul bones are not only unlimited in number, but they also grow along with the soul master's cultivation level, with no upper limit to their potential.

A golden light suddenly enveloped Ao Yin's right hand, and a hideous, terrifying phantom of a dark golden claw appeared out of thin air.

A violent and powerful force flowed through the meridians in his palm and quickly merged with his body.

"What a terrifying Dark Gold Terrorclaw! Now I finally understand why the Tyrant of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears is ranked among the top ten ferocious beasts."

This external soul bone is ridiculously powerful.

Attached Soul Bone Skill: Sky-Tearing Claw.

This is the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's trump card, unleashed from its right palm, with five sharp claws suddenly extending, powerful enough to tear apart a dragon and shake the heavens and earth.

Combined with the Azure Bull Python right arm soul bone he already possessed, the combined abilities were truly complementary.
