Black World — Shrek Academy Group
Yu Xiaogang's words left everyone speechless.
From their perspective, his argument actually made some sense. After all, if no one thoroughly researched Spirit Bones, how could anyone uncover their secrets?
The problem was that very few people had the resources to conduct such research.
Even a ten-year Spirit Bone was extremely rare.
Who would willingly take one apart just for research?
And yet, Yu Xiaogang had somehow managed to obtain more than a hundred Spirit Bones at once.
"Hmph. You actually think you can uncover the secrets of Spirit Bones? That's quite the overconfidence."
The other Yu Xiaogang suddenly snorted coldly.
"Spirit Bones come from Spirit Beasts. According to my research, they are simply a special type of bone that forms within certain Spirit Beasts."
"To put it simply, they're probably the result of a mutation in the Spirit Beast's bones. It's a random change that occurs by chance."
"Such a mutation can't be predicted, influenced, or controlled. You can only rely on luck."
"And what could possibly be inside a Spirit Bone?"
"They're nothing more than bones. Inside, they're probably no different from ordinary bones."
Everyone's attention immediately turned toward Yu Xiaogang.
After exchanging glances with the people beside him, Ma Hongjun couldn't help asking:
"Grandmaster, if you're so certain, does that mean you've actually dissected a Spirit Bone and studied it?"
After all, only someone who had personally dissected and examined a Spirit Bone could speak with such confidence.
Unfortunately, the moment Ma Hongjun asked the question, Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red.
"Although I haven't actually dissected one, is this really that difficult to figure out?"
Everyone fell silent.
So, he had simply been making assumptions based on his imagination.
The others immediately lost interest and turned their attention back to the heavenly screen.
Yu Xiaogang was furious at their reaction, but there was nothing he could do. He could only clench his fists and stare at the screen.
"I want to see whether you can really discover anything interesting from that Spirit Bone."
[The video continues...]
[Yu Xiaogang's words left Lin Lang deep in thought.]
[After a moment, he seemed to understand something and took a deep breath.]
["Fine. Since you, Young Sect Master, have said so, it would be too rigid of me not to adapt."]
["So, what should I do?"]
[Lin Lang looked at the Spirit Bone in Yu Xiaogang's hand, clearly wanting to know how it should be dissected.]
["Simple. Uncle Lin, cut the Spirit Bone vertically down the middle."]
["Make sure you divide it into two equal halves."]
[After hearing the precise instructions, Lin Lang nodded.]
[He took the Spirit Bone into his hands.]
[It felt cold to the touch.]
[This was a leg bone, but it was completely different from an ordinary human leg bone. It had a slightly reddish color and was surrounded by a ring of small, sharp spikes.]
[It was difficult to imagine that such a strange object could be absorbed into a human body and perfectly integrate with it without causing any discomfort.]
[After carefully examining the Spirit Bone and determining the best place to cut it, Lin Lang activated his Martial Soul Possession.]
[A wolf covered in flickering arcs of lightning appeared before Yu Xiaogang. A powerful aura immediately swept through the room, forcing Yu Xiaogang to take several steps backward.]
[Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's reaction, Lin Lang extended his sharp wolf claws and began channeling his Spirit Power into them.]
[The next instant, a cold flash of light swept across the room.]
[The Spirit Bone struck by the attack split cleanly down the middle, just like a piece of metal being cut apart.]
[The two halves were almost perfectly identical.]
[After completing the dissection, Lin Lang deactivated his Martial Soul Possession and handed both halves to Yu Xiaogang.]
[The hardness of a ten-year Spirit Bone was roughly equivalent to that of moderately hard metal.]
[It was only because Lin Lang possessed the strength of a Spirit Douluo that he could cut through it so easily.]
[On the other side, Yu Xiaogang immediately stepped forward.]
[He picked up the two halves of the Spirit Bone and carefully examined their interiors.]
["Hmm?"]
["What's wrong?"]
[Hearing the confusion in Yu Xiaogang's voice, Lin Lang leaned over as well.]
[Now that the Spirit Bone had been opened, they finally had a chance to see what was actually inside it.]
["It's completely different from what I expected!"]
[Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up as he showed the inside of the Spirit Bone to Lin Lang.]
[The moment the interior was revealed, both of them were stunned by the sight.]
[It wasn't solid, as Lin Lang had originally imagined.]
[Nor was it hollow, nor did it contain some miniature Spirit Ring or a mass of pure Spirit Power.]
[Instead, the inside was filled with a dense, intricate structure composed of countless layers and interconnected patterns.]
[It looked remarkably similar to a gigantic spiderweb.]
["Hmm... Why does it look like this?"]
[Lin Lang scratched his head in confusion.]
["I don't know."]
[Yu Xiaogang stared intensely at the strange internal structure.]
["But I'm certain that the reason Spirit Bones can release Spirit Skills must be connected to these structures."]
[The more Yu Xiaogang examined the interior, the brighter his eyes became.]
[This strange structure immediately reminded him of something—Formations.]
[Formations weren't widely used throughout the Douluo Continent.]
[The most common Formation was undoubtedly the Martial Soul Awakening Formation used when children awakened their Martial Souls at the age of six.]
[Apart from that, Yu Xiaogang had rarely seen Formations being used elsewhere.]
[Originally, he had planned to find some free time to study the Formations of the Douluo Continent and see whether he could uncover anything interesting.]
[Unexpectedly, he hadn't even started researching them yet, and the answer had practically presented itself to him.]
["Could it be that a Spirit Bone is actually a special type of bone with a Formation engraved inside it?"]
["By injecting Spirit Power into that Formation, the Spirit Bone can then release its corresponding Spirit Skill?"]
["If I can understand the Formation contained within this Spirit Bone, wouldn't I be able to reproduce the Spirit Bone?"]
[Yu Xiaogang's thoughts raced at incredible speed.]
[If the intricate structure inside the Spirit Bone really was a Formation, it opened up countless possibilities.]
[Yu Xiaogang immediately summoned his Dragon Martial Soul.]
[A Spirit Ring appeared around him.]
[He carefully examined the strange patterns within the Spirit Ring before turning his attention back to the internal structure of the Spirit Bone.]
[Previously, he had never paid close attention to the patterns within his Spirit Rings.]
[But now that he was deliberately examining them, he suddenly realized something.]
[The patterns within the Spirit Ring also seemed remarkably similar to Formations.]
[Both the Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone allowed a person to possess and use powerful Spirit Skills.]
[And both contained intricate structures resembling Formations.]
[If these Spirit Skills had absolutely nothing to do with Formations, Yu Xiaogang would be willing to write his own name backward!]
["In that case, it seems I'll have to study Formations seriously in the future."]
[However, Yu Xiaogang quickly noticed another problem.]
[Both Spirit Bones and Spirit Rings had to be absorbed into the body before their powers could be used.]
[Before being absorbed, a Spirit Bone was essentially no different from an ordinary piece of bone or rock.]
["If my theory is correct, and I can reproduce a Spirit Bone by replicating its internal structure..."]
[Yu Xiaogang frowned.]
["The problem is that the imitation wouldn't necessarily be capable of being absorbed into the human body like a genuine Spirit Bone."]
[For example, he could use a piece of metal and reproduce the exact same structure found inside a Spirit Bone.]
[But humans couldn't absorb metal.]
[So even if he successfully reproduced the internal structure, what would be the point?]
[Yu Xiaogang's expression became serious.]
["Therefore, the real problem I need to solve next is figuring out how to activate the Spirit Skill within a Spirit Bone while the Spirit Bone remains outside the body!"]
["Or..."]
["I need to find a material that can be absorbed by the human body in the same way as a Spirit Bone."]
[Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed with determination.]
["If I can solve either of these problems, the secrets of Spirit Bones may finally be within my reach."]
