This was Bai Zhou's first time absorbing a soul bone, and the feeling was quite wondrous.
Clearly, the soul bone was something left behind by a soul beast, yet it had an extraordinarily strong compatibility with his body.
As the left leg bone of the Golden-Pattern Tyrant Tiger slowly fused into Bai Zhou's left leg, a strange energy from the soul bone surged into his body, frantically strengthening his physique.
"No wonder soul bones are so precious…" Feeling the changes in his body, Bai Zhou could not help but sigh. This world really did have some impressive things.
Although a soul bone could not improve a soul master's aptitude, it could greatly increase a soul master's combat power, slightly increase soul power, and significantly enhance physical quality.
Most importantly, the soul bone came with a soul bone skill, which alone could raise a soul master's combat power by a whole level, equivalent to having one more soul ring than others.
Although the amplification from this soul bone was far inferior to Bai Zhou's cultivation techniques and martial arts…
When combined with his techniques and martial arts, the soul bone still produced an amplification effect of at least dozens of times!
Perhaps because Bai Zhou had already absorbed the Golden-Pattern Tyrant Tiger's soul ring, absorbing its soul bone was also exceptionally smooth, even easier than absorbing the soul ring.
In less than half an hour, Bai Zhou completed the absorption.
And he obtained a soul bone skill—Earthquake Wave!
After activation, it could instantly release a terrifying shockwave. Within a hundred-meter radius, all targets standing on the ground would be affected by the shockwave, with a 100% probability of interrupting any skills that required charging or casting.
It could be called a mage's nemesis.
The Golden-Pattern Tyrant Tiger had actually used this skill before, but unfortunately, it had little effect on Bai Zhou and Ma Xiaotao.
Ma Xiaotao could fly, so she directly ignored it.
Bai Zhou fought in close combat and did not rely on any soul skills that required charging, so he was not greatly affected either.
In addition, the left leg soul bone provided the most obvious enhancement to the left leg. If Bai Zhou were to obtain a leg-technique martial art and stack it with the soul bone, its power should increase several times.
...
"Xiao Bai, congratulations~"
Seeing that Bai Zhou had finished absorbing so quickly, Ma Xiaotao walked over with a smile and hugged him into her arms, clearly looking very happy.
"Hehe, I'm very strong now. In the future, I'll be able to protect Sister Xiaotao~" Bai Zhou laughed.
"Enough, as long as you don't bully me…" Ma Xiaotao felt no emotion at all and simply rolled her eyes lightly.
Bai Zhou had already been so "strong" before. Now that he had reached the Soul Ancestor realm, she would definitely be bullied miserably from now on…
"Who bullied you? Wasn't it you who kept shouting… mm…"
"Shut up, idiot!"
Ma Xiaotao quickly covered Bai Zhou's mouth and glanced sideways at Xian Lin'er. Seeing that Xian Lin'er's expression did not change, she finally let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Zhou was really a bastard—he dared to say anything. Was he really not afraid of being exposed?!
Of course, Xian Lin'er heard their conversation clearly.
However, she still pretended not to hear it and changed the topic, asking, "Xiao Bai, how do you feel now? Do you want to continue absorbing soul rings?"
"Of course."
Bai Zhou nodded.
He still had the Wish Tree martial soul, so naturally he needed to absorb another soul ring.
However, the soul ring of the Wish Tree did not need to be too particular. Any attribute of soul beast would do, as long as the year was high.
"That's good."
Xian Lin'er was also very satisfied and directly led Bai Zhou deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ma Xiaotao followed closely behind.
...
...
...
Two hours later.
The three left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bai Zhou's luck was not bad. He encountered a fifty-thousand-year soul ring and attached it to the Wish Tree martial soul, causing Bai Zhou's strength to rise once again…
Yes, that's how it was.
...
"Alright, since Xiao Bai has successfully advanced to Soul Ancestor, I'll head back first."
Seeing that Bai Zhou was fine, Xian Lin'er finally felt relieved and chose to take her leave, leaving Bai Zhou to Ma Xiaotao.
After all, as Bai Zhou's teacher, it would not be appropriate for her to keep sticking to him…
"Mm, this time it was really thanks to you, Teacher~"
Bai Zhou nodded repeatedly, wishing that Xian Lin'er would leave as soon as possible.
It was not that he was afraid of Xian Lin'er. In fact, with his current explosive increase in strength, he felt a little eager to try fighting Xian Lin'er again…
But the problem was that he still had Ma Xiaotao beside him.
Xian Lin'er knew about his relationship with Ma Xiaotao.
But Ma Xiaotao did not know about his relationship with Xian Lin'er.
Ma Xiaotao also did not know that Xian Lin'er knew about her relationship with him…
Anyway, it was very complicated. With two women together, it was ultimately not very suitable.
"最好多玩几天,回到学院后可就没机会了."
Xian Lin'er glanced at Bai Zhou and Ma Xiaotao and spoke faintly.
Obviously, her words had deeper meaning.
It was probably that she herself was also impatient to experience how useful Bai Zhou would be after "becoming stronger."
This time, Ma Xiaotao would get the advantage first and use him before her.
After saying that, she did not wait for Bai Zhou's reply. Green flames condensed under her feet, and she stepped into the air and left, extremely elegant.
...
After seeing Xian Lin'er leave, the strange feeling in Ma Xiaotao's heart gradually dissipated.
"Why do I feel that Dean Xian's gaze toward me was a bit strange…" Ma Xiaotao muttered softly.
She always felt that Xian Lin'er seemed to be… envying her??
What did that mean?
"No, Sister Xiaotao, you must be imagining things."
Only after Xian Lin'er left did Bai Zhou become a little bolder. Holding Ma Xiaotao, he lowered his head and狠狠地吸了一口奶气...
"You little rascal…"
Ma Xiaotao fiercely rubbed Bai Zhou's head, but there was nothing she could do about him.
"I think what our teacher said makes sense. We shouldn't go back so soon."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhou spoke.
"If we don't go back, then where do we go?"
Ma Xiaotao felt somewhat uneasy. She was still a little afraid that Bai Zhou would act recklessly.
One or two days might be fine, but if it went on for too long, she would definitely break down…
Especially now that Bai Zhou's strength had skyrocketed while she was still only a Soul Emperor…
Even though the crisis of evil fire had basically been eliminated and her cultivation speed had surged, she still felt that she could not keep up with Bai Zhou's pace.
It would be one thing if her combat power was surpassed, but even her soul power level could not widen the gap—this was very uncomfortable.
"Hehe, I think this place is pretty good. There are few people, no major threats from soul beasts. I brought a lot of food this time, and even brought a tent…"
Bai Zhou guided her step by step, clearly having prepared everything.
"What?! Here… you you you… no!!"
Ma Xiaotao's mind instantly exploded.
Good grief, so this bastard Bai Zhou had planned everything long ago.
If they rented a room to satisfy Bai Zhou, she could still accept it.
But in the wilderness.
In broad daylight.
Wasn't this a bit too perverted…?
What if passing soul beasts saw them?!?!?!
"Relax, I just found a pretty good place. There are few people and very weak soul beasts. We can just drive them away~"
As he spoke, he pulled Ma Xiaotao toward the place he had just marked.
The Star Dou Great Forest was dangerous, but that was for ordinary soul masters.
Moreover, this was the outer area. With Bai Zhou and Ma Xiaotao's current strength, this place was like a backyard garden, with no real danger at all.
On the way here, Bai Zhou had already discovered a decent camping site…
