Self-Healing Lv9
Of course, it was impossible to absorb it here. Tang Hao wouldn't return in the short term, but if he stayed too long, he would definitely be caught in the act.
If that happened, the furious Tang Hao would smash Fang Ling into paste with a single hammer blow.
Absorbing the spirit bone wasn't urgent. The most pressing matter now was to leave this place immediately.
He tried to put the box into the Frost Snow Ring, but no matter how hard he channeled his soul power, it didn't budge.
This wasn't surprising,if it could be stored in a soul guide at will, would it have ended up in his hands? Tang Hao would have definitely kept it in his soul guide, not here.
Still, the fact that lead could resist soul power was strange no matter how you thought about it.
Soul power wasn't radiation, so why would it be blocked by heavy metals?
Muttering a few complaints, Fang Ling took the spirit bone out again, placed it into a wooden box, and stored that in the Frost Snow Ring. That worked just fine.
The lead box he simply tossed onto the ground.
There was no need to hide it any longer. With Ah Yin gone without a trace, Tang Hao would surely notice that the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone had vanished as well.
Fang Ling had been careful to wear gloves, so no fingerprints would be left behind.
There was also no need to erase any tracks along the way. Other than a few drops of water he had dripped, there was nothing special.
Just as Fang Ling was about to leave, he paused for a moment, then tossed a slip of paper onto the ground.
"Tsk tsk tsk, let me see which little cutie left such a big treasure here?"
"Oh~ turns out it's the wife of the cowardly Douluo Tang Hao, along with her spirit bone."
"Thinking back to the year we besieged you, Mouse, you were so arrogant that none of us could do anything to you."
"And now, with the Pope and the Titled Elders dead, who would have thought that a small fry like me could, by sheer coincidence, obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone? Truly the heavens have shown me favor,how fortunate I am!"
"Mouse, such a great favor… I won't say thanks. This life, I'll avoid you. In the next, I'll repay you."
Originally, he hadn't intended to leave any trace, but the idea had come to him on the way.
The paper was from the Star Luo Empire, and the writing was forced out of a bandit on the road,naturally, the bandit had been silenced afterward.
Who knew if Tang Hao would buy it?
But with Tang Hao's brain,knowing full well the Spirit Hall was watching him, yet still flaunting his hundred-thousand-year soul beast wife everywhere,he might actually fall for it.
Fang Ling wanted to cause some trouble for Spirit Hall, so they wouldn't keep fixating on him.
When he returned to the cave entrance, this time he didn't teleport out.
He summoned his scythe and thrust it forward.
A thick mass of soul power billowed out in a special way.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rang out.
The stone gate shook, a crack splitting open.
His demolition skill was only Lv3, so it still wasn't enough.
After ramming it five times in a row, the stone gate finally shattered into pieces.
Several large chunks fell downward, while countless fragments splashed into the pool below, sending up a violent spray of water.
Fang Ling leapt, exiting the cave and passing through the waterfall. His light figure moved like a fish leaping into the water.
There was barely any splash, perfect.
Of course, he didn't just leave like that.
Fang Ling climbed back up the cliff, pulled out the spikes, and packed away the climbing ropes.
Then he changed into a fresh set of clothes and shoes for disguise before leaving.
The Frost Snow Ring truly lived up to its reputation as a high-grade storage soul guide,there wasn't the slightest leak of the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone's aura.
So he left at full speed without hesitation.
Once again, he traveled a thousand li in one go, using the same method to return to Heaven Dou City.
Heaven Dou City, Dugufamily estate.
Inside a secluded training chamber, Fang Ling took out the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.
It still shone with countless starlike lights, crystal-clear and brilliant, as if alive.
Fang Ling's fingers trembled as he brushed them over it. The surging life force rushed in through his hands, flowing into his body.
"Ah~"
How could one describe such an extreme comfort?
Imagine a quiet afternoon, sunlight filtering through light curtains, warm but not scorching.
You lie on a soft sofa with perfect support, every curve of your body fitting just right.
Your breathing is slow and deep, each inhale filled with fresh air, each exhale releasing all stress and tension.
Fragrance drifts in the air, your eyes unfocused, your thoughts adrift, with no particular target.
All worries are gone, leaving only the peace and comfort of this moment.
Relaxation wells up from your heart like a spring, contentment spreading outward.
Even sitting still, you feel a joy without reason.
After a brief moment of leisure, his gaze sharpened instantly.
Fang Ling pressed the spirit bone to his right leg and guided it with his soul power.
What kind of skill would a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone grant? He would soon find out.
A faint humming sounded in his ears. Fang Ling felt his right leg tremble slightly, then a refreshing energy seeped silently into it from all directions.
The crystalline blue spirit bone dissolved into countless strands of blue-golden energy, swirling gently around his right leg.
Cool, comfortable, without the slightest resistance.
This absorption was completely different from when he had absorbed the One-Eyed Giant Horned Goat's right foot bone.
There was no pain at all,only comfort.
It was as if his right leg had stepped into a vast, serene ocean.
Immersed in the gentle energy waves, Fang Ling felt his soul power subtly guided, rippling softly.
With each ripple, the surrounding air seemed to grow gentler.
There was no significant increase in soul power quantity, but it became purer,more transparent, softer, and full of resilience.
Soon, the coolness from the leg bone spread throughout his entire body.
A loud cracking of bones echoed within him, but to his surprise, there was no pain.
The cool blue energy worked directly on his meridians.
Fang Ling was startled to see all his meridians turn faint blue.
When the color faded, the space within them for soul power had expanded severalfold.
What had once been a small stream of soul power now gathered into a mighty river, and the meridians had not thinned,instead, they had grown tougher.
This was clearly increasing the flow speed of his soul power,truly the body-transforming effect of a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone!
Such treasures that could improve one's innate talent were rare in the world.
This hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver right leg bone had expanded his meridians to the limit, and its neutral life energy had perfectly fused the strengthening effects of several immortal herbs.
Soft cracking sounds came from within his meridians, still without pain.
He could clearly feel more meridians being opened.
Quietly, he savored the comfort,the cool, gentle sense of security.
A day and a half later, the absorption was complete.
Stretching lazily, he moved his body a little, and his gaze went straight to his panel.
Without looking at anything else, he immediately spotted the new skill.
The ability granted by the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone was indeed extraordinary.
It was the highest-level skill he had ever seen,higher even than Weakness Detection Lv7,
Self-Healing Lv9!
