"Moreover, some changes occurred during the absorption of my External Soul Bone and the 100,000-year Torso Bone."
"What changes?"
Huo Wu smiled playfully, quite pleased with herself, and said, "Under the guidance of the Phoenix Bone Wings, the bones of my upper body have connected into a whole, allowing Soul Bone energy to flow unimpeded within.
Not only that, but the 100,000-year Stormsmoke Torso Bone has, under the influence of the Phoenix Bone Wings, transformed into a 200,000-year Stormsmoke Phoenix Torso Bone.
Whether it's the age, quality, or bloodline level, a fundamental breakthrough has occurred."
"Stormsmoke Phoenix?"
Quan Yi asked curiously, "Can you release the Phoenix Bone Wings? I'd like to observe them more closely."
Huo Wu nodded in agreement.
"Whoosh!"
The golden-red Phoenix Wings slowly unfurled, and with just the spreading of the wings, Quan Yi felt the whistling of the wind.
Phoenix Flame emerged, but without the usual Scorching Heat; instead, there was a cool breeze.
However, what surprised Quan Yi even more was that a deep-red, gold-patterned armor covering the upper torso had appeared on Huo Wu's upper body.
The armor had smooth curves, closely following Huo Wu's body contours. Quan Yi moved closer to examine it and noticed that the armor even changed with Huo Wu's body movements. Furthermore, this armor emanated the same aura as the Phoenix Bone Wings, and the golden patterns all over it faintly glowed. They were like golden blood vessels, connected to the base of the Bone Wings.
"What exactly is this?"
Huo Wu exclaimed in surprise; she herself was even more astonished than Quan Yi.
"Don't worry; this is Phoenix Bone Armor made of Soul Bones; it's part of your body.
Can you describe how it feels now?"
Huo Wu felt her body, and indeed, as Quan Yi had said, just like the Phoenix Bone Wings, her perception could extend to the Bone Armor.
"You're right; it really did spread out from the Torso Bone. I feel that in this state, the Phoenix Bone Wings and the Torso Bone amplify each other, making the power of the Soul Bones even stronger, but the consumption has become lower."
Hearing Huo Wu's feelings, Quan Yi pondered and said, "It actually changed the bloodline of the Soul Bones. This doesn't seem quite like the Soul Bone Fusion Skill I know."
Huo Wu asked curiously, "What is a Soul Bone Fusion Skill?"
Quan Yi explained, "It's a Domain that is almost impossible to achieve.
Simply put, it's an additional skill produced after one's own Soul Bones fuse. Generally speaking, the amplification effect of a Soul Bone Fusion Skill on oneself is extremely powerful.
And because it's a skill produced by one's own Soul Bones, the fusion degree can reach over seventy percent.
You should be very clear about what that number represents."
Huo Wu nodded repeatedly. Martial Soul Fusion Skill also placed great emphasis on the degree of fusion; the higher the degree of fusion, the stronger the power of the fusion skill.
Huo Wu herself had personal experience with this.
At the beginning, the degree of Martial Soul Fusion between Quan Yi and Huo Wu was only barely around seventy percent.
Moreover, as the strength and familiarity between the two increased, the degree of fusion also increased a lot.
However, midway through, due to Quan Yi's Martial Soul evolution, the degree of Martial Soul Fusion between the two almost fell below seventy percent.
This was because Huo Wu's Martial Soul level could not keep up with Quan Yi's Martial Soul.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill, which emphasizes complementarity, is no longer complementary when the gap between the two Soul Masters becomes too large.
However, due to the domineering nature of Quan Yi's Ultimate Fire, the power actually became stronger after the degree of fusion decreased.
Later, when Huo Wu's Martial Soul also evolved into Ultimate Fire, the degree of Martial Soul Fusion between the two jumped to over ninety percent.
And when they became the Dragon Phoenix Goddess, the degree of fusion even reached a terrifying ninety-nine percent.
The Dragon Phoenix Goddess was able to have such powerful power, in addition to the strength of Quan Yi and Huo Wu themselves, was also greatly influenced by the degree of fusion.
Knowing this, Huo Wu certainly knew the importance of the degree of fusion.
However, she had never heard of Soul Bones being able to fuse before.
"Since it's so powerful, why haven't I heard of this thing?" Huo Wu tilted her head in confusion.
"Haha, although this Soul Bone Fusion Skill is strong, the biggest prerequisite for achieving it is to collect all six Soul Bones.
Furthermore, the six Soul Bones one possesses must originate from the same type of Soul Beast.
As far as I know, only the Spirit Hall possesses such inherited Soul Bones.
However, your situation is somewhat different.
This is a Soul Bone assimilation triggered and dominated by an External Soul Bone; it's not a true Soul Bone Fusion Skill yet."
Huo Wu was quite disappointed upon hearing this, muttering softly, "Ah, does that mean I have to continue searching for five other Misty Smoke Albatross Soul Bones from different parts of the body?
But, how is that even possible?"
Putting aside the fact that the Misty Smoke Albatross population is very small, even if five Soul Bones were to drop, it's impossible to collect parts from different locations.
Quan Yi ruffled Huo Wu's hair and replied, "It's not entirely impossible."
Huo Wu looked at Quan Yi in surprise.
Quan Yi smiled and explained, "Your Phoenix Bone Wings displayed extraordinary assimilation during the sacrificial process.
To be honest, I've had a similar experience myself.
The first time I observed the Fire Dragon King Torso Bone up close, I felt the movement of all the Soul Bones throughout my body.
Combining that with this observation, I think it might be the assimilation effect of high-level True Dragon energy on other lower-level Soul Beasts.
Looking back, if I had chosen to absorb the Fire Dragon King Torso Bone at that time, there was a high probability that the God-level Soul Bone's transformation would have caused the assimilation of all the Soul Bones in my body.
In other words, there's no need to collect a complete set of the same type of Soul Bones; assimilation could also meet the conditions for using a Soul Bone Fusion Skill.
In fact, you have already completed the Soul Bone fusion between the External Soul Bone and the Torso Bone, which is the most reliable evidence.
Wife, your Phoenix Bone Wings are an External Soul Bone that can continuously evolve, and the Phoenix bloodline is no weaker than that of a True Dragon.
In the future, if the strength of the Phoenix Bone Wings is raised to the God-level, perhaps it can also achieve the assimilation of all the Soul Bones in your body."
After listening to the explanation, Huo Wu's eyes lit up again.
"Are you saying that you didn't absorb it immediately back then for the sake of the Soul Bone Fusion Skill?"
Quan Yi's foresight once again shocked Huo Wu.
Seeing Huo Wu think this way, Quan Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I only thought of this after seeing this Soul Bone fusion and assimilation.
At that time, I simply wanted to use the power of the God-level Soul Bone to enhance other Soul Bones.
After all, unlike External Soul Bones, Soul Bones in the main bone positions are extremely difficult to evolve. If there's a chance to improve them, of course, I have to make good use of it.
Alright, let's leave it at that. After all, it's just my own speculation, and we don't need to be too fixated on it.
I'll be fortunate to get it, and it's my fate to lose it.
With our talent, we can still become stronger even without these things."
Quan Yi didn't want Huo Wu to worry too much about this.
"Yes, I understand."
Huo Wu knew Quan Yi's good intentions and immediately responded to Quan Yi.
"Right, I was so busy analyzing the Soul Bone fusion that I forgot to ask something more important."
