"However, by choosing the Agility Attack System, the difficulty of your cultivation path increases once again," Bibi Dong noted.
"The Agility Attack System demands extreme speed and explosive attack power—the requirements are very high. You can only realize these requirements during the process of fusing your second attribute."
"Your other soul rings must still focus primarily on enhancing your mental abilities. Therefore, you must be exceptionally cautious when absorbing soul rings; not a single ring can be chosen incorrectly."
"As for which power to fuse as your second attribute, I suggest you choose the Fire attribute. Fire itself possesses significant power and is quite common, giving you an advantage when searching for Fire-attribute Soul Beasts for your soul rings."
"More importantly, you can choose Soul Beasts from the Blazing Fox clan as the rings for your second attribute fusion. Being of the same fox genus, the fusion degree and compatibility will be higher, making it easier to attach and strengthen the power of the second attribute."
"Furthermore, the Blazing Fox clan is by no means weak. The power of a Nine-Tailed Blazing Fox is not inferior to a Nine-Tailed Charming Fox; they simply master different types of power. In comparison, the former is even superior in terms of pure destructive force."
"Though its spiritual power is weaker than the latter. If you truly succeed on this Fusion Stream, you will integrate the powers of both the Nine-Tailed Charming Fox and the Nine-Tailed Blazing Fox into one body, surpassing them both."
"Nine-Tailed Charming Fox and Nine-Tailed Blazing Fox!"
By the time Bibi Dong finished, Hu Liena's eyes were sparkling.
Both Soul Beasts sounded incredible. If she could possess the power of both in the future, she would be truly formidable! She imagined that by then, very few people would be able to match her in strength.
Seeing the little girl's eyes practically turning into stars, Bibi Dong smiled once more.
She realized that since taking Hu Liena as her disciple, she had been smiling more and more frequently. It was as if a glimmer of light and warmth had appeared within her heart, which had previously been filled with resentment and hatred.
The long night passed bit by bit.
Within the secluded small courtyard deep inside the Spirit Academy, Ling Xiao sat calmly by the wooden house, quietly cultivating. After a night of rest and adjustment, he was completely prepared, both mentally and physically.
Everything was ready; all that was needed was the final "catalyst."
After a long while, Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes, a look of doubt crossing his face.
"Teacher, aren't we starting yet? What are we waiting for?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Mu Chen walked out of the house. Looking at the composed Ling Xiao, he said leisurely, "Reshaping the bones requires the assistance of another person. She will be here shortly."
"Oh? Who is it?"
With a wave of Mu Chen's right hand, a ring-shaped storage Soul Engineer tool on his finger emitted a faint glow. With a loud thump, a massive brown wooden tub landed on the ground. Mu Chen removed the lid of the giant tub and looked at Ling Xiao with a smile.
"Come, since you're in a bit of a hurry, get in first!"
"Uh..."
Ling Xiao was stunned.
He walked forward to take a closer look, only to see that the giant wooden tub was filled with a bright green medicinal liquid.
A refreshing herbal fragrance wafted from it.
"Teacher, what is this? Didn't you say the bone reshaping depends on the Sovereign Heaven Bone-Refining Pill you refined? Do I still need this liquid?"
Mu Chen shot him a knowing look, his eyes dancing with amusement.
"Indeed. The liquid in this tub is a Foundation Building Spiritual Fluid I developed in the past. It has miraculous effects on repairing injuries and cultivation during the Soul Trainee stage. However, for now, its most important role is something else."
Pausing for a moment, Mu Chen continued, "In a while, when you swallow the pill to reshape your bones, every bone in your body will shatter. Then, under the influence of the medicinal power, a new physical foundation will be reconstructed."
"Throughout this entire process, you need to be completely naked. Surely you don't wish to be fully exposed in broad daylight? This spiritual fluid happens to help repair your injuries while also serving to cover your shame."
"..."
Ling Xiao was rendered speechless.
Should he say his teacher's arrangements were too thorough?
"Don't just stand there! Hurry up, strip off your clothes and get in. You'll be even more embarrassed in a moment," Mu Chen said with a chuckle, watching Ling Xiao standing there dazed.
"Oh, right," Ling Xiao replied quickly. Just as he was about to start undressing, he thought of something and said awkwardly, "Um, Teacher, could you turn around first?"
"Still so shy in front of your teacher?" Mu Chen shook his head and turned around, though he thought curiously to himself: If I hadn't let the boy get in early, would he have been too embarrassed to strip at all later?
Soon, following the sound of splashing water, Mu Chen turned back. Ling Xiao was sitting cross-legged inside the wooden tub, the green medicinal liquid covering his body, leaving only his head exposed.
Although undressing had been awkward, now that his body was submerged, Ling Xiao felt less constrained. He asked curiously, "Teacher, who else are we waiting for?"
Mu Chen smiled.
Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly looked toward the direction of the Spirit Hall Academy. On the small path leading from the academy, a beautiful figure appeared.
Ling Xiao looked closely, and his heart skipped a beat.
He never expected that it would be Bibi Dong.
The "assistance of another person" his teacher mentioned actually referred to the Pope, Bibi Dong!
Bibi Dong had not come today carrying the Pope's scepter, nor was she wearing her crown. Her pale purple hair flowed freely over her shoulders. Wearing a purple gown, she approached step by step.
Compared to the first time Ling Xiao had seen her in the Pope Hall, the current Bibi Dong lacked a bit of the Pope's majesty but gained a sense of soft beauty—a sight Ling Xiao found unforgettable.
As Bibi Dong drew near, she glanced at Ling Xiao.
Seeing him sitting in the medicinal liquid with only his small head poking out, a hint of a smile involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
"This old man greets the Pope," Mu Chen said, performing a salutation.
However, Bibi Dong stepped aside and did not accept the bow.
Clearly, she was not identifying as the Pope at this moment. She spoke with respect, "Director, there is no need for such formality."
"Back when I was studying and growing within the Spirit Hall Academy, you gave me a great deal of guidance. Though I am the Pope today, at this moment and in this place, Bibi Dong is merely Bibi Dong, not the Pope of Spirit Hall."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen nodded slowly and did not press the issue. He took a step back and gestured for Bibi Dong to walk closer to Ling Xiao to make the final preparations for the bone reshaping.
As Bibi Dong approached, Ling Xiao felt an unprecedented level of embarrassment.
To be honest, while he had been a bit restrained before, it was only a mild awkwardness. After all, Mu Chen was his teacher, and more importantly, Mu Chen had white hair and a beard—he looked like a highly respected elder.
Not to mention that on the surface, Ling Xiao was not even seven years old; even if he used his age from his previous life, he was only in his early twenties. Compared to Mu Chen, he wasn't much different from a seven-year-old child.
But Bibi Dong was different.
She was currently only in her thirties and was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Being stared at by Bibi Dong made Ling Xiao feel extremely uncomfortable.
