In addition to the two soul bones, the box also contained basic information about them, including the abilities attached to the ten-thousand-year soul bones.
The 30,000-year Reverse Light Invisibility Skull Bone came with the ability Reverse Light Invisibility, which allows the user to completely hide their presence and aura. Unless the opponent's spiritual power greatly exceeds the user's, they won't be able to detect them at all.
Dai Weisi examined the Reverse Light Invisibility Skull Bone and then handed it to Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhuqing, I'm giving this soul bone to you. I promised to gift you something better than the Dark Condensation Left Arm Bone."
"Even though this skull bone is only 30,000 years old, it's a head-type bone. Aside from the soul skill it grants, it also boosts your soul power and spiritual strength. Its value isn't much lower than your sister's Dark Condensation Arm Bone."
"Besides, you're an agility-attack-type soul master—a natural assassin. This Reverse Light Invisibility Skull Bone suits you perfectly."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't refuse. After all, what soul master could turn down a ten-thousand-year soul bone? She immediately accepted it with a beaming smile, then tiptoed up and planted a big kiss on Dai Weisi's cheek, leaving a vivid red kiss mark behind.
"Giggle, thank you, Brother Vis!"
"You're my wife. No need to be so formal." Dai Weisi rubbed the girl's little head and smiled. "Go ahead and start absorbing your soul bone."
"Okay."
Zhu Zhuqing gently nodded, then ran to the side and began silently absorbing the Reverse Light Invisibility Skull Bone. Meanwhile, Dai Weisi took out the 10,000-year Soul Power Conversion Torso Bone.
Though it was labeled as a ten-thousand-year soul bone, its true age clearly exceeded that—just not quite twenty thousand years.
This soul bone's attached skill was Soul Power Conversion, which allows the user to convert soul power from one elemental attribute to another. For example, it could convert fire-attributed soul power into wind-attributed soul power. This was particularly well-suited for auxiliary-type soul masters.
"This soul bone is perfect for Dong Hui. With it, I might actually be able to develop a seven-in-one fusion technique... No! Not just a seven-in-one. Perhaps even an eight-in-one or nine-in-one technique might become possible!"
A seven-in-one fusion technique sounds mysterious, but in essence, it's quite simple: it concentrates the soul power of seven soul masters into one individual.
Just like the Shrek Seven Devils, whose combined soul power was channeled into Tang San, temporarily boosting his power to the Soul Saint level and allowing him to activate his martial soul avatar.
However, if soul power from different attributes is forcefully combined, it creates internal conflict. That's why, after using the Shrek Seven Fusion Technique once, Tang San was severely injured and didn't use it again in the finals.
Moreover, concentrating the power of seven people into one person means the body must be extraordinarily strong. Otherwise, the sheer power might cause the user's body to explode.
This is why Yu Xiaogang designed the technique with Tang San as the core—he had undergone the Ice-Fire Body Refining process, which significantly strengthened his physique.
Now, with this Soul Power Conversion Torso Bone, Dai Weisi no longer had to worry about conflicts between different soul attributes. And with the enhancement from consuming ten-thousand-year whale glue and four types of body-strengthening and foundational herbs, his physique was more than capable of withstanding an enormous influx of soul power.
"With this soul bone... maybe in the future, I can even channel my grandfather, grandmother, and father's soul power into myself. Combining the power of three Titled Douluo—my strength will surely reach a terrifying level."
Having made up his mind, Dai Weisi decided that once he returned to the Star Luo Empire, he would give this Soul Power Conversion Torso Bone to Dong Hui.
Her Water of Goodness martial soul already possesses the ability to restore and enhance others' soul power, and absorbing this soul bone would be the perfect complement to her abilities.
Noticing that Zhu Zhuqing was still absorbing her soul bone, Dai Weisi turned to Zhu Zhuyun with a smile and said, "Zhuyun, your soul power has already reached level 60. Let me take you to get your sixth soul ring."
"Alright! No problem!" Zhu Zhuyun replied sweetly, clearly eager to finally become a true Soul Emperor.
"Great. Let's go then." With that, Dai Weisi wrapped one arm around her waist and the other under her legs, scooping her up into a bridal carry.
Blushing, Zhu Zhuyun wrapped her arms around Dai Weisi's neck and nestled her flushed face against his chest. Being carried like this in front of so many people was just too embarrassing.
At that moment, Li Hu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, would you like this old servant to accompany you?"
"No need, Uncle Li. You and Dean Lin just stay here and protect Zhuqing. I'll be back shortly."
He was heading to the Sunset Forest, which, although home to many ten-thousand-year spirit beasts, didn't contain any hundred-thousand-year ones.
With Dai Weisi's current strength, spirit beasts below the hundred-thousand-year level posed no real threat. Even if he couldn't defeat them, no one could stop him from escaping if he wished.
Besides, the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well was located deep within the Sunset Forest, surrounded by the poisonous array left by Dugu Bo. If he encountered a strong enemy, he could just hide there—and if he was lucky, Dugu Bo might even show up to help.
With that, Dai Weisi leapt from the fifth-floor window of Moon Pavilion, still carrying Zhu Zhuyun in his arms. In an instant, he soared into the air, vanishing with his beloved in his embrace. All that remained was the image of a shooting star fading into the distance.
The Sunset Forest wasn't far from Heaven Dou City. With Dai Weisi's speed, it took him less than two and a half hours to reach the forest's depths, where ten-thousand-year spirit beasts were most densely concentrated.
"Zhuyun, let's look for a suitable soul beast for your ring here, alright?"
"Hehe, sounds good."
Zhu Zhuyun giggled and gently held Dai Weisi's hand as they strolled through the forest, searching for her ideal spirit beast.
"Ice-Fire Evil Eyes, activate."
In an instant, Dai Weisi's vision sharpened dramatically as he scanned his surroundings. For ordinary soul masters, the limit for a sixth soul ring is about 20,000 years, but Zhu Zhuyun had consumed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and absorbed a head soul bone that enhanced her spiritual strength.
Therefore, the sixth soul ring she could absorb would have to be around 30,000 years old.
Holding her hand, Dai Weisi darted through the forest like a predator hunting its prey. He concealed his aura, his sharp eyes fixed on everything around them, waiting for the perfect target to appear.
Finally, a strong stench of blood assaulted his nose—so thick and pungent it made his head spin.
Suppressing the overwhelming stench, Dai Weisi looked in the direction of the scent. With his enhanced vision, he quickly spotted a massive beast devouring a wild boar.
It was a Scorpion-Tailed Lion. Excluding the tail, it measured five meters long, two meters wide, and three meters tall—larger than even the burliest students of Elephant Armored Academy. Its muscles bulged with power.
Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, with only its crimson eyes visible. Behind it, a freely retractable venomous scorpion tail served as its primary weapon.
Though usually three meters long, that tail could extend up to fifteen meters, functioning like a poisonous whip.
