Chapter 69: 40,000-Year-Old Torso Bone
As a level 79 attack-type Spirit Saint, Li Hu was incredibly brave and directly confronted the Ghost Tiger with one hand.
> "Hmph! Just a 40,000-year-old spirit beast dares to act wildly in front of me? You're asking for a beating! Hah!"
With a shout, Li Hu activated his Martial Spirit True Body, transforming into a massive brown-yellow tiger, roaring in fury. With one powerful slap, he sent the Ghost Tiger flying dozens of meters away like a rag doll.
As a power-type Spirit Saint, Li Hu's strength was already astonishing—now with his Martial Spirit True Body activated, the Ghost Tiger flew back like a broken kite.
> "Roar!"
The Ghost Tiger roared furiously at the sky. It had always bullied others—how could it accept being humiliated like this?
Suddenly, two clones identical in appearance to the Ghost Tiger appeared on either side of it. Though they looked the same, each clone only had half the strength of the original.
Lin Qiuyang raised his sword and said,
> "Butler Li, I'll handle the main body—you take care of the two clones!"
> "Understood!"
Whoosh!
Li Hu and Lin Qiuyang lunged forward and began their battle with the Ghost Tiger.
At the same time, Davis walked slowly toward the two wounded Nether Demon Tigers.
The male tiger bared its teeth fiercely, eyes flashing with hostility, and secretly coiled its legs to spring forward and devour Davis the moment he got close.
But how could that trick fool Davis's Ice and Fire Evil Eyes?
> "White Tiger Domain, open!"
Boom—!
A wave of golden spirit power surged out, sweeping across the land. The kingly aura released by Davis crushed everything.
Sensing the overwhelming dominance, the male Nether Demon Tiger immediately froze. It lowered its head and trembled, not daring to look Davis in the eye.
> "Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
His third soul ring lit up. Davis's body swelled with power—ripping his clothes apart as his bulging muscles were revealed, looking even more exaggerated than in the anime.
He pressed down on the heads of the two Nether Demon Tigers and called out:
> "My two wives—now's your chance!"
The two sisters glanced at each other and nodded.
> "Third Soul Skill: Nether Spring Fall!"
Zhu Zhuyun activated her illusion-type skill Nether Spring Fall. This soul skill could trap enemies in a nightmarish illusion.
In the original story, when Zhu Zhuqing was still young, Zhu Zhuyun used this very skill to torment her, leaving her mentally scarred.
Zhu Zhuyun's brown pupils flickered with purple light, and with a single glance, the two tigers fell into a trance—like puppets—entirely caught in the illusion.
> "Such a powerful soul skill…" Davis murmured.
It's almost on par with the Sharingan's illusions. If we give Zhu Zhuyun the Longing Heartbroken Red Dew, the power would surely double!
> "Sister, let's do it together!"
> "Mm!"
The two sisters pulled out their daggers and, while the tigers were helpless, dealt the killing blow. Their spirit power surged and condensed into two spirit rings—one black, one purple.
They immediately sat cross-legged and began absorbing the spirit rings while Davis and Anna stood guard.

Meanwhile, the fight with the Ghost Tiger was nearing its end.
Although the Ghost Tiger's clones were fast, they couldn't match Li Hu, who had already activated his Martial Spirit. In just one minute, Li Hu had eliminated both clones.
Lin Qiuyang, after activating his Martial Spirit and using his eighth soul skill, finished off the original Ghost Tiger with ease.
> "It's a pity we couldn't use the Ghost Tiger's soul ring," Lin Qiuyang murmured.
"If I had absorbed it, I might have gained the ability to split into clones—or even split my Black Iron Sword into two, greatly enhancing my combat effectiveness."
Li Hu laughed heartily,
> "No need to feel regret, Dean Lin. When your soul power reaches level 90, you can hunt another Ghost Tiger and take its soul ring."
> "Haha, that's true!" Lin Qiuyang stopped worrying and added,
"Come on, the two princesses should be done absorbing their rings. Let's go check on them."
Just as they were about to leave, Li Hu's sharp eyes noticed a dark purple glow flashing on the Ghost Tiger's chest.
> "Wait, Dean Lin! Did you see something in the Ghost Tiger's body?"
> "Oh?" Lin Qiuyang paused.
"Inside the corpse? Don't tell me…"
He suddenly realized—could it be… a soul bone?!
Quickly summoning his Black Iron Sword, he dissected the Ghost Tiger's corpse. A dark purple torso bone emerged before their eyes.
Li Hu's eyes sparkled.
> "I knew it! That's a torso soul bone!"
> "Yes, and what's more—it's a 40,000-year-old torso soul bone," Lin Qiuyang added.
"Not only can it enhance the body of a spirit master, but it even comes with a powerful soul bone skill!"
He retrieved the soul bone and handed it to Davis for distribution.
When Davis learned that the Ghost Tiger had dropped a soul bone, his eyes lit up. He accepted the torso bone with joy.
> "Incredible luck! A 40,000-year-old torso bone…"
He glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, who was still absorbing her soul ring.
> "Why not give this to Zhuyun? The Ghost Tiger is a high-speed assault spirit beast—this soul bone will definitely suit her!"
---
Three hours later, Zhu Zhuqing slowly opened her eyes.
With the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone and the Ninth-grade Qingling Pill, it had been no problem for her to absorb a thousand-year soul ring.
Davis smiled and asked,
> "Zhuqing, how do you feel? What level is your soul power now?"
> "Hehe, Brother Weiss, I've reached level 37 and officially become an agility-attack system Spirit Master!"
> "Level 37? Not bad! And your third soul skill—is it Netherworld Slash?"
> "Yes!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and smiled.
"It's a powerful single-target attack skill that makes up for my lack of offense."
> "Good. With this soul skill, you'll be able to stand your ground in future battles instead of just defending passively."
Davis then turned his attention to Zhu Zhuyun, who was still absorbing her 18,000-year-old fifth soul ring—four times older than Zhu Zhuqing's.
Two hours later, Zhu Zhuyun slowly opened her eyes. Feeling the changes in her body, she smiled and announced:
> "Hehe~ Weiss, I did it! I successfully absorbed a spirit ring beyond the limit, just like you!"
> "My spirit power has reached level 52, and the power of my Netherworld Slash is even stronger than Zhuqing's!"
> "Haha! That's amazing! You really are my queen!"
Davis gently rubbed her head and added:
> "Since my wife is so incredible, how can I, as a husband, not reward her? This spirit bone is yours!"
He handed over the 40,000-year-old torso bone, and Zhu Zhuyun's eyes instantly sparkled with excitement.
She had expected the "reward" Davis mentioned to be something more intimate later that night—but he'd actually given her a soul bone!
