Chapter 55 An Attempt to Integrate Soul Bone Skills into Food
Tang Chuan sat cross-legged, his consciousness sinking into the sea of his mind.
Focus his attention on the page in the "Ingredients Compendium" titled "Water Lily's Regeneration of Left Leg Bone".
The dormitory was quiet.
Sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the wooden table. After considering for a few minutes, Tang Chuan chose to use the mild-natured [Snow Cherry Fruit] as a base and fused it with the withering and rebirth soul skill of [Water Demon Lotus's Left Leg Bone].
"A thousand threads reappear, a hundred flavors emerge."
Tang Chuan mobilized his soul power, and the Blue Silver Grass appeared in his palm.
A deep purple soul ring lit up, and Blue Silver Grass, like a serpent, darted out from the palm of his hand, weaving the outline and flesh structure of the Snow Cherry Fruit.
The fruit has a sweet and refreshing texture, and its surface is covered with a faint greenish sheen.
The next step is crucial.
Tang Chuan attempted to extract the skill runes from the soul bone and integrate them into the pulp fibers of the snow cherry fruit.
Unlike the smooth process of devouring food, the energy of the soul bone is much harder than imagined.
As soon as the characteristics of the Soul Bone Skill representing the regeneration of life and death were incorporated into the flesh of the Snow Cherry Fruit, the blue silver grass threads that originally formed the outline of the Snow Cherry Fruit began to become unstable.
The two repel and clash with each other, producing a faint rustling sound.
Tang Chuan frowned, increased his soul power output, and tried to force the fusion while maintaining balance.
"That shouldn't be the case!"
The grass strands carrying the Soul Bone Technique of Rebirth and Desolation approached each other, and the grass strands that wove the outline of the Snow Cherry Fruit touched each other, crackling with silver light like electric arcs.
The air was filled with a sweet fruity aroma.
Tang Chuan could clearly sense that the Snow Cherry Fruit was trying to contain the silver runes representing the Soul Bone Skill, but the latter stubbornly wanted to transform the Snow Cherry Fruit into the shape of a Soul Bone.
The two forces were pulling at each other, and the soul power was being consumed rapidly.
Tang Chuan deliberately slowed down his output of soul power, trying to allow the two to slowly come into contact and merge.
The silver light within the emerald green orb was indeed slowly receding, but the next moment, with a soft "poof," the outline of the snow cherry fruit woven from blue silver grass in the palm disintegrated.
A pale white left leg bone appeared in his hand.
Tang Chuan's expectations were dashed. The shape and energy fluctuations of the translucent white left leg bone were exactly the same as those of the Water Serpent Demon Lotus's left leg bone, only smaller in size.
"It failed?"
Tang Chuan paused for a moment, then picked up the soul bone.
It feels hard and cold to the touch, completely lacking the softness of fruit flesh. When brought close to the nose, the fragrance of snow cherry fruit lingers.
He bit down with his teeth, and a tingling, numb sensation came from his gums; the texture was exactly like bone.
"wrong!"
"This is indeed a soul bone, but it truly incorporates the characteristics of the Snow Cherry Fruit!"
Tang Chuan muttered to himself, pondering, "The form and rules of the soul bone suppress the form and characteristics of the snow cherry fruit, resulting in the final product still being a soul bone, only the material it carries contains the ice attribute energy of the snow cherry fruit..."
"Or perhaps, the form of a soul bone is a more stable expression of energy, and the Snow Cherry Fruit is unworthy of changing itself?"
Tang Chuan frowned, but was not discouraged.
After adjusting his soul power for a while, he chose to use the Pure Heart Lotus Seed for a second attempt.
The water-attribute soul power contained in the Pure Heart Lotus Seed is more compatible with the attributes of the Water Serpent Demon Lotus Soul Bone, and perhaps it will be different.
This time, Tang Chuan adjusted his strategy.
First, let the Blue Silver Grass completely construct the Pure Heart Lotus Seed. Then, break down the Soul Bone Energy into emerald green light spots and integrate them. Finally, imprint the silver runes that mark the Soul Bone Skill into strands of energy threads on the Pure Heart Lotus Seed.
The light spots and energy threads intertwine with the lotus seeds of Qingxin.
Blue silver grass wove into a fine net on the table, with emerald green spots and silvery white threads colliding and swirling with lotus seeds between the mesh.
Tang Chuan held his breath and focused his mind, guiding his soul power to merge the three elements.
He even had the illusion that the regenerative properties of the Pure Heart Lotus Seed and the Soul Bone did indeed resonate slightly for a brief moment.
A layer of silvery-green luster shimmered in the grass net.
When Tang Chuan completely imprinted the silver-white silk thread onto the Qingxin Lotus Seed, the Qingxin Lotus Seed suddenly went out of control.
Amidst the flashes of light.
A left leg bone, about the size of a lotus seed, lay on the table.
Tang Chuan picked it up and saw that it was heavy in his hand. The surface had the texture of lotus seeds, and he could smell the fragrance of lotus seeds when he brought it close to his mouth.
"No, is that right?!"
"Who the hell is going to absorb this?!"
"Whose soul is this small?!"
"If he showed this to someone else and claimed it was a thousand-year-old soul bone, they'd probably laugh themselves to death!!!"
Tang Chuan held the left leg bone, which was about the size of a lotus seed, with a question mark on his face. He was genuinely a little overwhelmed.
He tried to crush it, but couldn't even leave a mark.
It is indeed a soul bone, which can only be absorbed through fusion by a soul master, and has absolutely nothing to do with being edible.
"Hey!"
"He refuses to believe it!"
Tang Chuan gritted his teeth and searched through the "Ingredients Compendium." Two hours later, after his soul power had fully recovered, he stubbornly tried again.
This time, he was using [King Kong Barbarian Beef] as the base, and soul beast meat to carry the characteristics of the soul bone.
The result was a left leg bone with fleshy texture. Feeling the warm and slightly fiery soul power within the soul bone, it was estimated to be the Rebirth Soul Skill.
The fourth time, Tang Chuan used the juice of [Cleansing Clover] as a base.
The result was a small, fingernail-sized piece of emerald green bone, probably because the soul energy provided by the [Cleansing Clover] juice was insufficient to form a complete left leg bone shape.
"Fuck!"
"You win!"
Tang Chuan lay on his back on the bed, with more than a dozen pieces of his left leg bone of different colors, shapes, and sizes beside him. He chose to give up.
No matter what ingredients you choose to blend.
No matter how you adjust the soul power ratio and fusion method.
The results were all without exception.
The inherent properties of the ingredients are covered and assimilated by the rules of the soul bones, eventually condensing into bone blocks of various shapes. In essence, they are all soul bones and cannot be eaten at all.
The only advantage is...
When creating a new type of soul bone, the soul power consumed is less than when replicating the [Water Venom Lotus's Rebirth Left Leg Bone].
Although he didn't try absorbing soul bones, Tang Chuan knew in his heart that the soul skill effects of these new types of soul bones were definitely not as good as the replicated [Water Lily of Withered Glory and Regeneration Left Leg Bone].
After all, the soul power consumed during its creation is a given!
"well!"
"He was just assuming that."
Tang Chuan rubbed his temples, got up, looked at the dozen or so failed soul bones scattered on the bed, and fell into deep thought.
These newly generated soul bones do differ in detail from the [Water Demon Lotus's Left Leg Bone of Withering and Flourishing Regeneration] because of the different ingredients they were fused with, but the core remains unchanged.
"Soul bones are condensed soul skills formed from the soul power of soul beasts."
"It belongs to an energy entity, and its form and absorption method are strictly limited by the deeply rooted rules of the Douluo World."
"Although his first soul skill can copy soul bones and even change the form of the soul bone's carrier, it cannot fundamentally overturn the rules of its use. It can only be used for fusion, not for direct consumption..."
Once Tang Chuan understood this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
