While fusing a spirit bone isn't as dangerous as fusing a spirit ring, if the spirit power difference is too great, it still requires more time. Some special spirit bones even have significant absorption restrictions.
For example, the Ice Jade Scorpion Spirit Bone requires the user to possess an attribute close to ultimate ice.
The spirit power contained within the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Spirit Bone is too sharp. Those whose physiques aren't strong enough would have their bodies torn apart. For instance, in the original work, Xiao Xiao almost crippled her hand absorbing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's palm bone.
Fortunately, the Three-Eyed Giant Skull she absorbed today wasn't as dangerous.
Cyclops and Three-Eyed Giants are considered the same spirit beast family. Compared to normal humans, one has one eye less, and the other has one eye more.
And that third eye, actually has a scientific name: Heart's Eye.
In short, one lacks a "heart's eye" (common sense/discernment), while the other has an extra "heart's eye" (insight/cunning).
This also led to their completely different developmental paths. Cyclops are pure power-type spirit beasts, usually not thinking much and fighting without a second thought. Among a group of Cyclops, there is often one Three-Eyed Giant, who serves as the strategist of the tribe.
Just like Divine Brain Douluo is to the Body Sect.
Therefore, this Three-Eyed Giant is a mental-type spirit beast, more inclined towards support, with gentle and pure spirit power, perfectly suited for Xiao Xiao.
Conversely, the Blazing Blade Emperor Spirit Bone that Yuwentuo absorbed had the same problem as the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Spirit Bone: its spirit power was too sharp, and it contained a hidden, powerful fire attribute. If one wasn't careful, they could be incinerated by their own inner fire.
Unfortunately, this spirit bone encountered Yuwentuo.
The Blazing Blade Emperor's fire attribute is indeed strong, but firstly, pure fire encompasses all other fires, and secondly, was the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion's head bone, containing ultimate ice, just for show on Yuwentuo's head?
As for sharpness, challenging the Xuanyuan Sword for sharpness? Even if this wasn't the true Xuanyuan Sword, but merely the Xuanyuan Sword Soul, it was still an overestimation of its own capabilities.
Soon, the flames of the Blazing Blade Emperor Spirit Bone were encompassed by pure fire, and the sharp aura of its spirit power was absorbed by the Xuanyuan Sword Soul.
Early the next morning, Yuwentuo and Xiao Xiao, sitting opposite each other, simultaneously opened their eyes.
"Tuotuo, I succeeded! As expected of a 100,000-year spirit bone, it directly pushed my spirit power to the peak of Rank 39... No, it should be the limit of Rank 39. I feel like I can break through to Rank 40 within a few days!" Xiao Xiao said excitedly.
It was her first time getting such a powerful spirit bone, and she felt completely transformed. Not just her spirit power, but her mental power increase was even more terrifying.
If before absorbing this spirit bone, her Sea of Spirit was just a small river, now, it was at least a large lake.
Although it couldn't compare to Yuwentuo's ocean-like mental power, it was already several times stronger than that of ordinary people with non-mental-type martial souls.
With such mental power to activate the Divine Melodies of the Heavenly Sound Gate, the power of her skills would greatly increase.
This spirit bone's two skills: one was to further amplify mental power in battle, and the other was to open a third eye on her forehead, emitting an attacking mental beam similar to Tang San's Purple Demon Eye.
Both were quite suitable for Xiao Xiao. One skill maximized her strengths, while the other compensated for her weaknesses. What Xiao Xiao lacked most right now was a powerful, single-target offensive skill.
"Very good, Xiao Xiao. With your current potential, within five years, you will definitely reach Spirit Emperor, and close to a high-tier Spirit Emperor at that," Yuwentuo praised.
He was also quite satisfied with his Blazing Blade Emperor Left Arm Bone. This spirit bone was more offensive.
It had two skills: one named "Demonic Fire Melting Gold." The Blazing Blade Emperor's fire was somewhat similar to evil fire, but stronger, with very high temperature and extreme corrosiveness.
Opponents struck by Demonic Fire Melting Gold would rapidly decrease in defense. Exactly how much depended on Yuwentuo's spirit power output. As long as his spirit power was strong enough, even those renowned for top-tier defense, like the Diamond Mammoth or Armored Rhino, or even Xu Sanshi's later Black Tortoise, would become as fragile as paper.
The other was a passive skill, "Blazing Emperor Blade."
At this moment, Yuwentuo's left hand seemed to contain a sharp, fiery saber. He could use his hand as a blade, unleashing incredibly fierce blade energy with each slash.
This move was somewhat similar to Saint Seiya's Golden Saint Shura's "Excalibur."
Thus, even if Yuwentuo used the Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul in the future, he could still perform saber techniques, perhaps even achieving a combination of saber and sword.
As for his rank, it remained Level 50, without a fifth spirit ring, so he couldn't display his full power for the time being.
After leaving Shrek, Yuwentuo's luck truly seemed to run wild. He had completely made up for the six years he had been crippled.
Once he absorbed his fifth spirit ring, he would catch up to top-tier prodigies like Long Aotian.
The second awakening of the Xuanyuan Sword Martial Soul should also be able to proceed.
"All Body Sect members, listen up! Gather in the plaza!"
Just then, a furious roar, imbued with immense spirit power, resounded throughout the entire sect.
Hearing his voice, all Body Sect disciples immediately rushed towards the plaza.
Yuwentuo also took Xiao Xiao's hand and walked out of their room.
Upon arriving at the plaza, they saw Immortal Du floating in mid-air with ten Titled Douluo elders.
Immortal Du's gaze swept over everyone. He said, "Listen up, all of you! Today is the day our Body Sect emerges from seclusion! And for our emergence, we naturally need to make an example, to display our strength to the entire continent! And that 'chicken' will be Shrek's Dragon God Douluo, Mu En. Jin Peng, have you finished writing the challenge letter I ordered you to write?"
"Sect Master, don't worry, it's a full page!" Jin Peng stated confidently.
"Very good. Then we shall depart immediately. All those within the sect who are Rank 80 or above, except for the Fourth Elder and Tenth Elder who will remain to guard the sect, everyone else will come with me."
Immortal Du left Lu Si and Miaoxin behind. After all, the sect couldn't be without Titled Douluo guarding it, otherwise, what if someone raided their home?
"Yes, Sect Master!" Everyone responded.
Immortal Du then looked at Yuwentuo. "Tuo'er, do you want to come with me?"
Yuwentuo was below Rank 80, so he wasn't originally required to go. But Immortal Du considered his deep hatred for Shrek and wouldn't deny him an opportunity.
"Of course I want to go!" Yuwentuo knew that in today's battle, he wasn't truly qualified to participate yet.
But he had to at least be a witness.
He also wanted to throw Xuan Zi's head in front of everyone at Shrek, using their despair and anger to demonstrate his "coolness" and vent his hatred.
"Good, then follow along!" Immortal Du nodded. He was now full of confidence in his own strength, certain he could protect Yuwentuo.
"Xiao Xiao, you stay in the sect. You have no grievances with Shrek, so don't get involved in this muddy water," Yuwentuo said to Xiao Xiao.
"Don't worry, Tuotuo, I'll wait for you here. These next few days, I'll also work hard on my cultivation. After you return, we'll go hunt spirit rings together!" Xiao Xiao's greatest strength was her lack of willfulness. She wouldn't cling to Yuwentuo in the name of love.
She understood one thing: she loved her Tuotuo, so the most basic thing was not to become a burden to him.
Instead, she would strive to become stronger, and once she was qualified to fight alongside him, she would become his aid.
Yuwentuo smiled, gently stroking Xiao Xiao's hair and lightly kissing her forehead. "Good, I'll be back soon!"
After speaking, he spread his Flame Wings and slowly flew up.
Within the Body Sect, more than twenty figures flew out like meteors, heading towards Shrek Academy.
Seeing this, Vina murmured, "Starting today, the continental structure will surely undergo drastic changes. The Heaven Soul Empire must also be prepared."
