"Then why are you here again? I'm not in any danger," Ning Rongrong said, glancing pointedly at Dai Mubai.
Dai Mubai frowned, recognizing Ning Rongrong's warning. Damn! With the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect members here now, he was powerless.
The leader of the group spoke sincerely: "Miss, although you're safe now, we admit our negligence earlier. We only ask for a chance to make amends—please don't tell the Lord Sect Leader, or we will…" Tears welled in his eyes.
If Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo learned of this, even with valid reasons, they'd face punishment.
Zhao Wuji couldn't stay silent any longer. He stood and rubbed his hands, hoping to build rapport with the newcomers.
Flanders, sensing movement outside, opened his tent. "What's going on?"
Seeing several Soul Saint-level men clad in Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect uniforms, Flanders relaxed with relief.
An hour passed quickly. Returning to the tent, Flanders checked on Yu Xiaogang and Ma Hongjun.
"Shao Xin, can we remove the sticks now?"
Shao Xin nodded, "Yes, the flesh has fully grown back. We can pull them out and have them take candy beans to ease pain and bleeding."
Without hesitation, Flanders yanked out the sticks.
"Awwww—"
The sharp pain of torn flesh made nerves tremble violently!
Meanwhile, after a night of soul bone absorption, Xiao Tian's soul power surged past level 50!
Thanks to Da Ming and Er Ming's help, it took just one night to fully absorb the two hundred-thousand-year soul bones.
Though reaching level 50 as expected, Xiao Tian hesitated—was this increase too rapid?
Standing, he condensed a small air sword in his right hand, shooting it at a nearby tree.
In moments, the tree crashed down with a loud bang from his casual strike.
Xiao Tian sensed the surge in attributes from his newfound power. With time, he'd adapt fully.
"Xiao Tian, congratulations on reaching level 50! I am next to add your fifth spirit ring, right?" Er Ming said excitedly.
Since Da Ming added the fourth, Er Ming had been eager to follow. Xiao Tian nodded readily. The soul ring from the Titan Giant Ape likely enhanced attack, exactly what he needed.
Half an hour later, the fifth spirit ring, infused by the Titan Giant Ape, added thirty thousand years to Xiao Tian's soul power.
His level climbed to fifty-three!
In just one night, Xiao Tian rose an astounding fourteen levels—terrifying speed!
"Brother, what are the fourth and fifth soul skills Da Ming and Er Ming provided?" Xiao Wu could no longer contain her curiosity as Xiao Tian completed absorption.
Da Ming said, "Sister Xiao Wu, if you knew Xiao Tian's two new spirit skills, you'd be amazed. They're exactly what he needs now!"
Er Ming added, "Yes! When adding the spirit rings, I found I could specify the direction of skill condensation!"
"This avoids Xiao Tian getting useless or mismatched soul skills. I wanted to grant him attack-enhancing skills, and surprisingly, it worked perfectly!"
Xiao Wu was stunned—was this even possible?
It's common knowledge in the soul master world that soul skills from spirit rings carry great uncertainty, but Xiao Tian's contracted souls shattered that norm!
Xiao Tian was unsurprised, knowing that Xiao Wu and other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in human form could tailor their spirit rings to suit themselves.
This meant that as long as they determined a general skill direction, they could obtain fitting soul skills—provided they aligned with their innate abilities.
Xiao Tian smiled at Xiao Wu and said, "My fourth soul skill is Sky Blue Swift Sword Dance. While performing, I execute a clever sword dance emitting sword energy around me for defense. My movement speed doubles during the dance, and afterward, my attack speed triples."
Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief—how could one skill combine so many effects: defense, attack, movement, and attack speed boosts? Was this the power of a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring? So terrifying!
Pleased with her reaction, Xiao Tian continued, "My fifth soul skill is Titan Rage Slash. Performing it, Fifteen releases an enormous impact force like a charging Titan ape, pushing back and injuring enemies. The next attack's damage also doubles."
Er Ming proudly said, "Sister Xiao Wu, see! This fifth skill not only damages and controls but perfectly connects with your big brother's fourth skill!"
Xiao Tian nodded, joy shining on his face. These two soul skills synergize incredibly!
He only wondered how long the fifth skill's control lasts—is it enough time for the fourth skill to close distance quickly?
Seeing Xiao Tian's happiness, Xiao Wu laughed, sharing his joy. Her brother's growth delighted her more than her own!
At that moment, Er Ming asked, "By the way, what about the external soul bone pulled from Tang San's back?"
"That soul bone isn't suitable for absorption by Xiao Wu or Xiao Tian," Da Ming explained calmly. "It's best for a soul master with a poison-attribute martial soul."
"Give the soul bone to Xiao Tian so he can trade it later for one suitable for Xiao Wu, or exchange it for other treasures."
