Chapter 141: Absorbing the Soul Bone
After returning to the sect and checking on Nami's progress, Ning Bei planned to enter seclusion to absorb the right leg bone of the Holy Light Sea Urchin.
After greeting Ning Rongrong and the others, he headed to the secret room in his own quarters. Looking at the translucent right leg bone, Ning Bei felt a surge of excitement. Whether he could reach the level of a Super Douluo now depended on this.
He pressed the soul bone to his right leg. After a flash of dazzling light, the soul bone vanished, and Ning Bei sat cross-legged to absorb it.
As time passed, the bottleneck in his soul power began to loosen, and Ning Bei moved closer to the 94th level, inching toward the Super Douluo stage.
...
"Brother, when will you take us soul hunting?"
After finishing her afternoon practice, Ning Rongrong was bored and complained to her fellow sisters.
Zhu Zhuqing, who also needed a soul ring, wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Didn't Big Brother Ning Bei say? We're waiting for him to finish absorbing his soul bone, then we'll go soul hunting together with Ah Du and the others."
"I know, but I really want to get my fourth soul ring quickly. I'm already two stages behind Xiao Wu."
Xiao Wu, who had successfully reached the Soul King stage, proudly looked at Ning Rongrong.
"Haha, Rongrong, Soul Sovereign! When you see Soul King Xiao Wu, you should salute, got it?"
"Pfft, what's there to be proud of? I'll be a Soul King soon, too!"
Ning Rongrong snorted disdainfully, but inwardly she was incredibly envious.
"Zhuqing, you're the patient one, huh? You're not even worried about your third soul ring?"
Xiao Wu smiled, unbothered by Rongrong's teasing.
"What's mine will be mine. No point in stressing over what's not."
As the three sisters chatted, Ning Bei, who had been in seclusion for three days, had finished absorbing the soul bone. His soul power had reached level 94, only a little short of reaching the Super Douluo stage.
Ning Bei couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed but didn't dwell on it. After helping Rongrong and Ah Du get their soul rings, he would accept the sacrifice from the Ice Emperor, and his soul power would naturally increase.
In his mind, Tianmeng, understanding Ning Bei's thoughts, eagerly jumped with excitement.
"Stop wasting time and go get those kids their soul rings!"
"Got it, I'll go after Ah Du and the others finish absorbing their Celestial Herbs!"
Ning Bei helplessly glanced at Tianmeng in his mind. Always so eager.
While Ning Bei was communicating with Tianmeng, the soft voice of the Ice Emperor echoed in his consciousness.
"Already at level 94? Not bad!"
"Ice Emperor, you've woken up?"
The beautiful figure of the Ice Emperor appeared beside Tianmeng, adding a stunning touch to Ning Bei's empty consciousness.
"Yes, I've recovered. I sensed Bing'er's aura. Has she come back with you?"
Ning Bei nodded, confirming the Ice Emperor's guess.
"Yes, she's staying inside my first martial soul. Eventually, she'll be sacrificed to me and become the wisdom soul ring of the Ice Heaven Snow Woman martial soul."
The Ice Emperor's expression became somewhat complex. After a while, she regained her calm.
"This is fine. It's also a great opportunity for Bing'er. I hope the Ice God will treat her well."
Before Ning Bei could speak, Tianmeng made a promise to the Ice Emperor.
"Don't worry, this kid doesn't have a bias against soul beasts. His ten-thousand-year soul rings are mostly accepted as sacrifices. He won't do anything like killing the donkey after the grinding is done."
The Ice Emperor nodded after hearing this, then glared at Tianmeng.
"What kid? Show some respect to the Ice God, or I'll make sure you regret it!"
"Uh!"
Tianmeng froze for a moment, then nodded fearfully. He dared not act out in front of the Ice Emperor. It was a respect cultivated over many years in the extreme north.
The absorption of the soul bone was nearing completion. Ning Bei felt the soul skills that the Holy Light Sea Urchin's right leg bone brought to him and was slightly moved.
The two soul skills were Sunlight Beam and Sunlight Absorption to accelerate cultivation.
Moreover, the cultivation acceleration skill was similar to a domain state and could be applied to others, not just himself.
However, there was something about the Sunlight Beam released from the right leg that gave him a strange feeling, like a creepy guy with sunglasses.
Could he start using his skills to make a scary "one-shot, one-kill" move on a titled Douluo?
Having obtained another offensive soul skill, Ning Bei was satisfied and walked out of the secret room, heading directly to the place where Ah Du and the others were in seclusion.
Ning Rongrong and the others had been waiting by the door.
"It's already the seventh day, they should have finished absorbing the Celestial Herbs by now!"
Xiao Wu nodded in agreement. It had taken the three of them that long to absorb the herbs.
"How? Can't wait anymore?"
Ning Rongrong turned around at the sound of the voice and saw her brother, her eyes lighting up.
"Brother, you're out of seclusion!"
Rubbing Ning Rongrong's head, Ning Bei nodded slightly.
"That's right. I'm almost a Super Douluo."
"Really! Does that mean my backing is getting stronger and stronger?"
Rongrong proudly cheered, feeling that her brother's strength was her own strength as well!
Xiao Wu looked at Ning Bei with shock. The man, who was several years older than her, had already reached a level beyond her reach. The strongest in the Star Luo Empire was probably around that level.
Both Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong felt a sense of loss in their hearts. Unlike Rongrong, who could comfortably accept her brother's strength, Xiao Wu couldn't accept being treated like a flower vase.
Ning Bei, noticing the girls' expressions, didn't plan to comfort them. The gap in strength couldn't be erased by words. They would have to work hard on their own.
At that moment, Ah Du and the others walked out of the room together.
"Second Young Master, Misses, sorry to keep you waiting!"
The three of them were excited and greeted Ning Bei and the others respectfully.
Ning Bei waved his hand, signaling them to skip the formalities.
"So, how much help did the Celestial Herbs bring you?"
Ah Du was the first to summon his martial soul. The originally gold-patterned scythe had now become even more magnificent. A ghostly cry seemed to surround the scythe, and the dark energy was even more powerful than before.
"Second Young Master, my soul power has reached level 40, and my martial soul has advanced as well."
"Wow, Ah Du, you've gained quite a lot. Even Xiao Wu is a bit envious."
Xiao Wu smiled, happy for her little brother, her face full of pride.
Ah Du scratched his head shyly.
"Xiao Wu, it's just luck, all thanks to Second Young Master's help."
Ning Bei nodded in satisfaction and turned his gaze to the other two.
Seeing Ning Bei's gaze, Long Nianbing and Ye Yin Zhu also summoned their martial souls.
While their martial souls hadn't changed fundamentally, Long Nianbing's golden kitchen knife was no longer as restrained as before. It now radiated an impressive sharpness, the benefit of the Mixed Yuan Grass.
"Second Young Master, my soul power has reached level 47. Before the Soul Master competition, I'll definitely reach the Soul King level."
"My soul power has reached level 40. I'll know how much I've gained after obtaining my fourth soul ring."
Ye Yin Zhu didn't fall behind, introducing his soul power level to Ning Bei, unwilling to lag behind his two companions.
