Qian Renxue's Generosity—A 100,000-Year Golden Dragon Crocodile Right Arm Bone!
"May we join hands and carve out a new future!"
Qian Renxue opened the gift box.
A brilliant golden light surged forth, accompanied by a faint dragon's roar.
Tang Lan's eyes locked onto it—
Inside was a complete right arm bone,
Golden energy flowed across its surface, like a dragon swimming through its veins,
Exuding a crushing sense of power.
Golden Dragon Crocodile Right Arm Bone?!
Tang Lan immediately thought of Spirit Hall's Second Worshipper—Golden Crocodile Douluo!
That 98th-rank peak Power Attack Douluo,
Who had taken Tang Hao's Great Xumi Hammer head-on without injury!
His ninth soul ring was a 100,000-year ring—
This soul bone must have been his.
Seems like his right arm slot was already taken, so he couldn't absorb this one.
Which meant—
It was now Tang Lan's for the taking!
In this Xuanhuan-style world,
Limb regeneration was still a major problem.
Tang Lan picked up the soul bone, feeling a surge of emotion.
Back then, he had casually bluffed,
But Qian Renxue's wealth was no joke!
She really could afford this price?!
Well—
He would graciously accept it then.
—Consider it a small compensation for Spirit Hall hunting his parents.
Of course—
A deal was a deal.
Tang Lan raised a hand, sending a spiritual light orb toward Qian Renxue.
"As promised, here are all of Tang Sect's secret techniques."
"If Your Highness wishes to train, feel free to ask me for guidance."
Tang Lan's Hidden Trap—Flawed Techniques for Spirit Hall!
Though she now considered him "one of her own",
Qian Renxue was still cautious.
She had her hidden guards inspect it before absorbing the knowledge.
But once she read through it—
She was completely engrossed!
Amazing!
These techniques and self-created soul skills were brilliant!
Tang Lan bowed slightly, then left the room.
Previously, he had only given her the first three layers of Nine Yang Divine Art.
Now, he added the fourth layer,
To show Spirit Hall that this technique could progress further.
The best-case scenario—
All of Spirit Hall's high-ranking combatants switch to practicing it.
That way, in the future battles,
They'd be in for a real surprise.
As for the other techniques?
Naturally, they were complete.
But—
The versions he provided were—
🔄 Inverse: Undying Seal Art
🔄 Inverse: Dragon Capture Hand
🔄 Inverse: True Martial Seven Fragment Formation
🔄 Inverse: Lingbo Microstep
Heh—
What's wrong with messing with them a little?
Knowledge Suppression—Spirit Hall Won't Notice the Flaws
Tang Lan wasn't worried at all about getting caught.
Even Tang San couldn't see the flaws in the Inverse Undying Seal Art.
When he failed to cultivate it,
He just blamed his own talent.
How could these "Spirit Hall natives" possibly detect anything wrong?
Knowledge suppression at its finest!
Excited to Absorb the Soul Bone—But First, Let's Farm Tang San's Misery!
Back in the Sect Master's Hall,
Tang Lan eagerly took out the Golden Dragon Crocodile Right Arm Bone.
A 100,000-year soul bone!
Last time, when he got the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone,
He barely even got to admire it before he was forced to absorb it immediately.
Now, he could take a good look.
But—
Should he go mess with Tang San first?
Of course!
Tang Lan activated Blue Silver Life Domain,
Instantly locking onto Tang San's location.
Then—
He headed straight for the cafeteria!
Tang Lan's Surprise—Grabbing Tang San Mid-Meal!
In the middle of eating,
Tang San was suddenly lifted by the collar!
Tang Lan dragged him away,
His voice filled with excitement—
"Xiao San, I found a way to fix your foundation!"
"I got a 100,000-year soul bone!"
Tang San froze on the spot!
Even forgot to struggle.
100,000-year soul bone?!
Holy sh*t!
That's why his big brother was the best!
Nearby, Dai Mubai and the others,
Had their mouths hanging open in shock.
This…
Is this what it's like to be the Sect Master's little brother?!
Locked Room—Tang Lan's "Gift" to Tang San
As the Hall Master of the Hidden Weapons Hall,
Tang San had his own personal building, just like Tang Lan.
Tang Lan dragged him to his training room,
Then locked the door behind them.
"Clank—"
The gift box containing the soul bone was thrown onto the floor,
The lid popping open from the impact,
Releasing a dazzling golden light.
Tang San's gaze was glued to it,
Too stunned to even blink!
A 100,000-year soul bone!
It was real!
Tang San's Trembling Hands—A Once-in-a-Lifetime Gift?
"Big Brother!"
Tang San's voice trembled.
"Is this really… for me?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Tang Lan urged, "Hurry up and absorb it! I'll protect you!"
Tang San choked up!
During the recent trip to Sunset Forest,
Everyone else had gained incredible benefits.
Only he had been treated like a side character.
And in the end, he was even left behind.
But now—
His brother had brought him a 100,000-year soul bone?!
Tang San's Inner Turmoil—Brotherly Love Confirmed?
Deep down, Tang San had been resentful.
He felt like his brother no longer cared about him.
But now—
He wanted to slap himself!
How could his brother not love him?!
Obviously, it was because of Tang Hao, that old bastard!
His brother just couldn't openly show favoritism!
Reality Check—Tang Lan's Smack of Clarity
"Smack—"
Tang Lan slapped Tang San's head to the side.
"If you keep hesitating, I can't guarantee I won't just take this for myself!"
Tang San snapped to attention!
Well—
This was a 100,000-year soul bone, after all.
Using it to test their brotherly bond was not a smart move.
For the sake of their relationship, he needed to act fast!
Yes!
That was it!
Tang San grabbed the soul bone, pressing it onto his right arm.
His Mysterious Heaven Skill inner force surged,
Beginning the fusion process.
Fusion Pain—A Worthy Price?
"Hiss—"
Tang San sucked in a sharp breath.
The pain of bone fusion was agonizing!
But the thought of—
A 100,000-year soul bone becoming his own—
Made the pain feel like nothing.
However—
Tang Lan didn't come here to give gifts.
He came to farm rewards!
There was no way he'd just stand by and watch Tang San absorb it.
Just as Tang San's heart surged with excitement,
As he envisioned his grand comeback—
A blue light flickered across the Golden Dragon Crocodile Right Arm Bone.
And then—
"Clank—"
The soul bone fell to the ground,
Shattering Tang San's dreams of rising again.
Tang San's Broken Hope—Why Can't He Absorb It?!
For a few seconds,
Tang San just stared.
Then, refusing to believe it,
He picked up the soul bone again and attempted to guide it with Mysterious Heaven Skill.
"Clank—"
The soul bone fell again.
Tang San was about to lose his mind!
Why?!
Why was the fusion failing?!
And that blue light—
What the hell was it?!
Activating Purple Demon Eye,
Tang San tried again.
But—
The same blue glow.
The same failure.
"WHAT IS THAT?!"
Tang San was on the verge of insanity.
"Why is there a blue light?! Why can't I absorb it?!"
He turned to Tang Lan, desperate for answers.
Tang Lan's "Expert" Analysis—The Ultimate Despair
Tang Lan furrowed his brows,
Pretending to ponder deeply for a few minutes.
Then—
He finally spoke.
"It's probably an attribute restriction."
"This Golden Dragon Crocodile Right Arm Bone came from a Golden Dragon Crocodile—a dragon-blooded variant no weaker than Titan Giant Apes or Sky Azure Bull Pythons."
"It's a pure strength-type soul beast. Only a true power-type soul master can absorb it."
Tang San's Emotional Breakdown—"I HAVE A CLEAR SKY HAMMER!"
Tang San's eyes turned red.
"Brother! I have twin martial souls! I HAVE A CLEAR SKY HAMMER!"
"I CAN BE A POWER-TYPE TOO!"
"WHY IS IT STILL FAILING?!"
Tang Lan pretended to hesitate,
Then gave the final, soul-crushing answer—
"Maybe… you need to reach the extreme limit of strength."
Tang San's mind went blank.
"Buzz—"
Extreme limit of strength?!
Could it be—
"Brother… are you saying… like your Extreme Life Attribute… it requires an Extreme Strength Attribute?!"
"Exactly." Tang Lan sighed, nodding helplessly.
"Xiao San, it looks like this 100,000-year soul bone… isn't meant for you."
Tang San's Spirit Breaks—Desperation Sets In
Tang San gripped the soul bone tightly,
Unable to accept reality!
WHY?!
He had been given a chance to change his fate—
And now, fate was toying with him?!
No!
This wasn't real!
This was impossible!
Tang San kept forcing the soul bone onto his right arm,
Again.
And again.
And again.
Each time,
The soul bone slipped off, landing on the ground.
Until—
His inner force was completely depleted.
Tang San collapsed onto the ground, defeated.
True Despair—The 100,000-Year Soul Bone Is Useless to Him!
It was useless.
He really couldn't absorb it.
He was powerless!
His fingers tightened around the soul bone.
It was right in front of him.
A 100,000-year soul bone!
But he couldn't have it.
Why…
WHY?!
"Sigh—"
Tang Lan patted Tang San's shoulder,
Then reached down to pick up the soul bone.
But—
Tang San refused to let go!
