Chapter 56 Tang San Absorbs the Left Leg Bone
Tang Chuan collected all the failed soul bones.
Although he failed to create ingredients with soul bone skills, these attempts were not entirely without value. At least they gave him a deeper understanding of the energy structure of soul bones and the limits of the first soul skill.
"It seems so."
"Making ingredients with soul bone skills is not feasible."
"Perhaps, these soul bones can be used in a different way..."
Tang Chuan rubbed his throbbing temples. He had used up a lot of his soul power and was a little slow to recover.
He looked up at the sun outside the window; it was almost time for class.
Tang Chuan casually stuffed the cloth bag containing the soul bone into his backpack, grabbed the textbooks on the table, and ran to the classroom.
In class, the teacher was explaining how to identify soul beasts, but Tang Chuan was distracted.
His gaze was fixed on the textbook, but his mind was preoccupied with the "Water Lily Demon's Rebirth and Regeneration: Left Leg Bone," wondering whether he should tell Xiao San.
He finally made it to lunchtime.
Tang Chuan pulled Tang San out of the classroom: "We don't have classes this afternoon. Come on, let's go home. This isn't the place to talk."
Tang San's eyes lit up: "Brother, is there any definite news about a plant-type soul beast that can transmit information?"
"You'll find out when you get home."
Tang Chuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then said nothing more.
They walked and ate barbecue, occasionally taking a sip of iced tea to cleanse their palates, as the two brothers walked side by side toward their home in the west of the city.
Pushing open the creaking wooden door, the room remained the same as always.
After closing the door, Tang Chuan took out a piece of the [Water Demon Lotus's Withered and Flourishing Regeneration Left Leg Bone] that he had copied in advance during the break between classes from his backpack.
"Mistress, look at this."
Tang Chuan placed the soul bone on the table.
The emerald green left leg bone lay quietly on the table, its lotus pattern gleaming in the dimly lit room.
"Brother, what is this...?"
Tang San had only been in school for a few days and hadn't yet learned about soul bones, so he didn't understand what his brother meant by taking out a bone.
But one can sense the soul power contained within this bone.
He reached out to touch it, but fearing he might break it, his fingertips hovered in mid-air as he asked uncertainly, "Is it a soul bone?"
The shape of the bones on the table reminded him of what the mercenary in the tavern had said.
Legend has it that soul bones are the most precious treasures in the world of soul masters. Any soul bone will attract bloody slaughter and is also known as the Blood River Treasure!
"That's right!"
"The left leg bone of the Water Fly Demon Lotus is 2,100 years old."
Tang Chuan handed the soul bone to him and explained, "This is an unexpected gain from my trip to the Soul Hunting Forest."
"Absorbing soul bones can directly increase his soul power level."
"And he will gain the soul skill attached to the soul bone, which is equivalent to having more soul skills than a soul master of the same level."
"The soul skill attached to this soul bone is called [Regeneration of Life and Death], which can quickly heal injuries to himself or others, and is especially effective for plant-type Spirits."
Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up.
It can enhance strength and also grant healing soul skills. This is simply a treasure that soul masters dream of. No wonder soul bones are called the Blood River's supreme treasure!
Tang San held the soul bone in his hands, his heart pounding.
His face was bathed in the emerald green light of the soul bone, and he suddenly looked up: "Brother, why don't you absorb it?"
"My path is different from yours."
Tang Chuan smiled and sat on the wooden stool by the table, saying, "I have the Nine Trials of the God of Food, which can increase the age of my soul rings, but soul bones don't help me that much."
"Besides, this is only a 2,100-year-old soul bone, I don't care about it."
"Each Spirit Master can absorb a maximum of six Soul Bones in his lifetime, corresponding to the six parts of the skull, torso, left arm bone, right arm bone, left leg bone, and right leg bone respectively."
"Certainly!"
"In addition, there are extremely rare external soul bones."
Tang Chuan pointed to the soul bone Tang San was holding: "This is a left leg bone. If he absorbs it now, the soul bone slot for the left leg bone will be occupied."
"In the future, even if he encounters a better left leg soul bone, he will not be able to absorb it."
"Unless..."
Tang Chuan lowered his voice: "When the time comes, cut off the left leg that has already absorbed the soul bone, use a regeneration soul skill to grow a new leg, and then absorb a new soul bone."
"However, losing a leg will cause his soul power level to plummet."
"It's hard to say whether it can be restored to its original level. The risks are extremely high, and the process is painful. I don't want that."
Tang Chuan spoke frankly, and the room fell silent.
In the dimly lit room, the emerald green glow of the soul bones reflected on the two brothers, casting a green halo over them.
Tang San held the soul bone, his mind filled with his brother's words.
The advantage of absorbing this left leg bone is that it can quickly improve strength and help his brother build the Blue Silver Network sooner. The disadvantage is that it occupies the space of the left leg bone, and he may miss out on better soul bones in the future.
A moment later, Tang San raised his head.
Without saying anything else, he earnestly asked Tang Chuan, "Brother, are you sure you don't want to absorb this soul bone yourself?"
"I don't want to."
Tang Chuan shook his head: "Think carefully about whether you want to absorb it. If not, sell it and wait until you encounter a better soul bone in the future."
Upon hearing his brother's clear answer, the last trace of hesitation on Tang San's face disappeared.
"Brother, I'll absorb it."
He held the emerald green soul bone almost without hesitation, his eyes fixed on Tang Chuan with unwavering determination: "Every little bit of improvement in strength is welcome."
"My current soul power level is too low."
"With this soul bone, he can reach the level 20 bottleneck faster, obtain his second soul ring, and help his brother achieve the Blue Silver Network sooner."
Tang Chuan was taken aback, not expecting him to make a decision so quickly: "Don't you want to think about it again?"
"What if we encounter a ten-thousand-year-old or one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone in the future..."
"No need, bro!"
Tang San grinned and hugged the soul bone to his chest: "Leave the future to my future self!"
"I believe in my brother, and I believe in myself."
"If we come across a better left leg bone in the future, I believe we'll definitely have a solution!"
"But now, I don't want to miss any opportunity that can help me improve my strength quickly."
"The sooner I reach level 20, the sooner I can obtain the Blue Silver Network Soul Skill and help my brother build a food delivery platform..."
In Tang San's heart, he was willing to give everything for his brother. His brother's plans and safety were far more important than a vague and uncertain future!
Tang Chuan looked at his younger brother, feeling a warmth in his heart, and reached out to ruffle his hair.
"Alright, I'll protect you, brother."
"Um!"
Tang San nodded emphatically, said no more, and sat cross-legged on the ground.
Holding the [Water Demon Lotus's Left Leg Bone of Withered Glory and Regeneration] in both hands, he slowly poured his soul power into it, following the guidance method his brother had given him.
He activated the Mysterious Heaven Art, and the soul power within his dantian surged along the meridians of his arm to his palm.
The moment the soul power touches the soul bone.
The lotus pattern that had been quietly glowing lit up, and a green light surged back from his palm, flowing into his body along the meridians of his arm.
"Um...!"
Tang San couldn't help but groan; this energy was much more powerful than he had expected.
His soul power is only at level twelve, and his meridians are already slender. The sudden influx of energy from the thousand-year-old soul bone caused his meridians to swell slightly.
It felt both tingly and slightly swollen.
