Chapter 6: Absorbing the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, Martial Soul Fusion Technique!
One Left Leg Bone and one Right Leg Bone, both of ten-thousand-year quality, were perfectly suited for Xie Tian and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who were among the three leaders of the team.
As a Titled Douluo, Yue Guan played a decisive role in this cleansing operation, so he took the higher-quality Right Leg Bone, while the Left Leg Bone fell into Xie Tian's hands.
Xie Tian naturally had no objections to this; they were already fortunate enough to obtain two Soul Bones in one operation. If there had only been one, Xie Tian wouldn't have gotten it at all.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was naturally not a petty person. He knew that Xie Tian's son, Hu Bai, had played a 'significant role' in this operation. If it weren't for his peculiar sense, Xie Tian and Hu Leyao might have been crippled, or even died, and he wouldn't have obtained a Soul Bone by leading the team.
This was his first Soul Bone!
From that time on, Yue Guan began to take an interest in this little fellow, Hu Bai. After two years of interaction, their relationship naturally became quite good.
It is well known that Yue Guan, to some extent, preferred males aesthetically, and Hu Bai had an extraordinary temperament from a young age—this also contributed to their good relationship.
Although this mission was issued by Spirit Hall, they had the right to keep whatever they obtained during the mission and were not required to hand it over!
Xie Tian released his Moon Blades and dashed toward the Thunder Hell Prison Vine at an extremely fast speed. His first soul ring activated, and his eyes fixed on the root, intending to dig it out with one strike.
The five-hundred-year-old Thunder Hell Prison Vine already possessed sentience. How could it allow an enemy to approach? The heavenly lightning that had originally fallen on it was guided by it, directly striking Xie Tian!
Within a five-meter radius around it, there was also a thunder pool; once stepped into, it would be unpleasant.
However, the Thunder Hell Prison Vine was facing a Soul Saint. How could these heavenly lightning bolts so easily hit Xie Tian? While dodging the lightning, Xie Tian's second soul ring lit up: "Defend!"
This Soul Skill could enhance his defense for a certain period. The lightning transmitted from the thunder pool was nothing more than a slight tingling sensation, like undergoing electrotherapy.
"Hah! Slash!"
Xie Tian controlled the power of his Moon Blades as much as possible to prevent killing the Thunder Hell Prison Vine, as this was the only one nearby.
Since it was a plant-type Soul Beast, he truly couldn't determine how much damage would kill it. The safest method was to dig out its root, cutting around it but not splitting the entire "bamboo shoot" into two—something too difficult for him.
Hu Bai, in the distance, quickly recovered his soul power to prepare for one more strike.
Finally, after half an hour, under Xie Tian's "playful" assault, the Thunder Hell Prison Vine completely lost its means of attack, and the thunderclouds above dispersed.
Xie Tian covered it with soul power and carefully brought it before Hu Bai. His clothes were slightly scorched: "Son, quickly use your fire element to give it the final blow, and this soul ring will be yours!"
Without Xie Tian needing to say anything, as he walked over, Hu Bai had already unleashed his Domain, gathering fire elements from the air. After condensing fox fire, he directly threw it toward the Thunder Hell Prison Vine.
Although the Thunder Hell Prison Vine was of the lightning attribute, since it was a plant Soul Beast, it possessed the wood attribute, meaning it would be countered by fire!
After all, the Thunder Hell Prison Vine was not immune to fire!
With one strike of fox fire, a dark yellow soul ring slowly rose from the Thunder Hell Prison Vine. Hu Bai didn't hesitate—he directly guided it onto himself and began to absorb it!
Spirit Hall.
"Supreme Pontiff, as per your command, I went to the Xie family mansion. The news I received from Xie Yue was that Hu Liena is in seclusion, breaking through to level ten soul power, and is inconvenient to see guests," Yue Guan respectfully reported.
"Hmph!" Bibi Dong slammed her scepter on the ground with force and coldly said, "If Hu Liena can't be seen, then what about Xie Tian? What about Hu Leyao? And what about Hu Bai?"
Cold sweat was about to trickle down Yue Guan's forehead: "This..."
When Xie Yue refused to see anyone, he had already used his mental power to briefly scan the mansion; Xie Tian was indeed not there!
He had a suspicion: could it be that the two of them took Hu Bai directly to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain his first soul ring?
"You say, could they have gone to hunt Soul Beasts themselves?" Bibi Dong said coldly.
Yue Guan did not reply; he knew Bibi Dong wasn't asking him but herself, and it was almost certainly the case.
"After Xie Tian and the others return, have him bring Hu Bai and Hu Liena to see me!"
Bibi Dong issued this cold instruction and disappeared from the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Yue Guan replied with a "yes" and then felt troubled in his heart: "Hu Bai, my boy, you're usually so smart—why are you being so foolish at this critical juncture? Is it that urgent to get a soul ring just half a month late?"
Yue Guan thought about the Soul Bone he received from Hu Bai and decided to plead for them later. After all, it was just the first soul ring. As long as Hu Bai's first Soul Skill was related to mental charm control, Bibi Dong shouldn't be so angry.
Xie family.
After Yue Guan left, Xie Yue met Hu Liena and sighed: "Na Na, I'm afraid we can't hide it any longer. This is the second time; the first time, it was just a random guard, but this time it's Elder Chrysanthemum himself. Our little trick is useless."
"Sigh, we can only hope that Dad, Mom, and little brother come back quickly."
Hu Liena was a little worried: "Brother, what if Teacher gets furious then? If Brother Bai's first soul ring meets the requirements, then it would be fine, but if not..."
Xie Yue shook his head: "Xiao Bai has Innate full soul power; the Supreme Pontiff won't do anything to him—at most, she'll just be angry."
Suddenly, Xie Yue thought of something and looked at Hu Liena seriously: "Na Na, you said we two have Martial Soul resonance, so would we also have it with Xiao Bai? You and he are twins—do you have any sense of it?"
Hu Liena was slightly stunned: "This... I didn't notice it. After awakening my Martial Soul, besides feeling the suppression from the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, if I think about it carefully, it does seem like there was a faint resonance. But I thought it was with you, Brother."
After Xie Tian and the others left, Xie Yue and Hu Liena secretly attempted a Martial Soul Fusion Skill and succeeded!
However, due to Hu Liena's low soul power, they were forced to disengage after less than three seconds of fusion, and both their soul powers were depleted.
But they were very happy—because their parents also had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and now they did too!
