Jiang Zhen cleared a space in the center of the basement and sat down cross-legged.
Take a deep breath.
Then, a flash of blue light appeared in his hand, and he took out the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone from his storage ring.
Jiang Zhen gently pressed the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor onto the outside of his right leg with his fingertips.
At first, it was a bone-chilling coolness, like holding a piece of blue gold jade just pulled from the deep sea. The coolness seeped into the muscles through the bones, dispelling most of the fatigue accumulated from the journey. But in an instant, the icy coolness turned into a warm and gentle feeling, like a ball of crushed sunlight wrapped around my right leg, spreading throughout my body along the bones and veins.
"Buzz—"
His soul bone suddenly trembled slightly, and blue-gold light surged out from the gaps in his bones. It was not a violent torrent, but a dense mist of light that climbed up his right leg and soon covered his waist, abdomen, and chest, finally enveloping his entire body in light.
The Blue Silver Emperor in the backyard seemed to be awakened, its leaves suddenly unfurling, the golden veins shining brightly.
"Clang clang—"
The faint sound emanated from within the body, yet it was not at all harsh.
Jiang Zhen could clearly feel that his bones, which had been stiff from traveling day and night, were now like being soaked in warm water, with every joint slowly stretching out.
The slight stiffness left over from previous training and Soul Hunting is being gradually smoothed out by the blue-gold energy.
The muscle fibers trembled gently in the light mist. It wasn't the pain of tearing and rebuilding, but rather like being carefully combed by an invisible hand. The loose force slowly solidified, and even the movement of raising the hand was a bit lighter than before.
A feeling of comfort welled up from my bones and flowed through my limbs and bones with my blood.
He looked at his arm, where blue-gold light was flowing along his meridians, which were slowly widening under the nourishment of the light, like a stream gradually growing into a river.
Previously, the level 20 soul power could only "flow" in the meridians, but now it can "surge".
There was even excess energy that automatically wrapped around the meridian walls, repairing the tiny cracks that had been caused by the impact of soul power.
Unconsciously, a wisp of soul power condensed at his fingertips, carrying a faint blue-gold hue, several times purer than before.
The light and mist gradually faded, but did not completely dissipate. Instead, it adhered to his skin, forming a thin blue-gold film, like a protective layer covering his body.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhen slowly opened his eyes, with faint blue-gold light still lingering in them.
He tried bending his right leg and felt no heaviness at all. Instead, he had the illusion that he was "so light that he could step on water waves," and even the soul power in his body became exceptionally active.
"This is the power of a 100,000-year-old soul bone..." he murmured to himself, his fingertips gently stroking the soul bone on his right leg.
His physique improved once again, and he felt that he could absorb those under the ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Whether his soul power has increased is unknown; he is currently level 20 and will only know after acquiring a soul ring.
However, this 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone has been stored for six years. It is unknown whether its soul power has dissipated. If it has dissipated, it will be impossible to increase soul power.
However, the soul bone skills it grants are quite good. One is healing, and the other is flight.
He stood up and stretched.
Get ready, let's go get our second spirit ring.
Jiang Zhen stepped out of the basement and was surprised to see the bright sunshine outside.
Did it take absorb all night?
Jiang Zhen then went to the spring in the backyard.
After a few tries, he condensed two water spheres and threw them at the Blue Silver Emperor.
The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor swayed gently.
Jiang Zhen gently brushed his fingers across the blue-purple leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor, its golden veins seeming to come alive and move in the morning light.
As soon as he touched the leaves, several slender vines emerged from the flower stem and gently wrapped around his wrist. The cool, refreshing sensation seeped into his skin through the vines, as if they were playfully rubbing against him.
He gently brought his fingertips together, and another strand of the vine quietly wrapped around his fingertips, even the leaves pressed against his palm, very intimately.
"I'm going to the shallows of the deep sea trench to find a soul beast. I'll be back soon," he said softly, his fingertips tracing the leaves along the vines.
As if it understood, the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves trembled slightly, its golden veins brightened, and a subtle life energy flowed into its body along the vines.
After packing his bags, Jiang Zhen headed straight for the fishing port on the west side of Vast Sea City.
As he walked to the edge of the dock, he condensed a wisp of soul power at his fingertips. The moment the soul power touched the seawater, it turned into translucent water ripples that enveloped his ankles.
With a light leap, he actually stepped directly onto the water's surface—unlike ordinary Soul Masters' "water-walking," the seawater beneath his feet seemed to be held up by an invisible force, with very few ripples.
This is a manifestation of the ultimate water's "absolute control" over the water element, allowing him to move on the water as if walking on flat ground!
In addition, his Soul Bone Skill allows him to fly, making him incredibly fast on the water!
Half an hour later, they arrived at the shallows of the deep-sea trench. The seawater here was a deep indigo color, and there was a steep trench just 30 feet from the shore. The underwater reefs were numerous, and the sunlight could only barely reach half a foot below the surface.
Jiang Zhen stood in the shallow water, his fingertips probing into the seawater—his soul power spread out like a spider web, instantly covering the water within a ten-zhang radius, every strand of soul power capturing the movements underwater.
Soon, he sensed a faint ripple coming from underwater to his right, carrying a rich water-attribute energy, yet more "turbid" than ordinary water spirit power—it was a sea spirit beast hiding behind a reef.
"Come out."
Jiang Zhen flicked his finger, and a wisp of ultimate water soul power shot towards the reef along the seawater.
With a "splash," a dark shadow darted out from underwater, but instead of leaping out of the water, it swam rapidly underwater.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of dark, fishy-smelling water arrows shot out from beneath the surface of the water, heading straight for his calves!
It is a "Black Scale Eel", a water-attribute soul beast that hides in the crevices of underwater reefs year-round, relying entirely on underwater ambushes and black water arrows for attacks. It is about 1,200 years old, which is perfect for testing its strength.
Jiang Zhen dodged the water arrow by sidestepping it, and at the same time raised his hand and pressed it against the water's surface—the ultimate water soul power instantly surged into the seawater, transforming into a semi-transparent "high-density water shield" in front of him.
This water shield is different from ordinary water shields; it compresses the water element to the extreme, and its surface is covered with delicate water ripples.
The subsequent jets of ink-black water struck the shield with only muffled "thumps," leaving not even a mark. Instead, the ink on the water jets was gently "scraped" off by the water flow on the surface of the shield and dissolved into the surrounding seawater.
Seeing that its attack was ineffective, the underwater moray eel turned to flee into the depths of the reef.
Jiang Zhen wouldn't give it a chance. He quickly formed hand seals with his fingertips, and the ultimate water soul power in his body surged into the seawater through his arm. This time, he didn't condense a concrete attack, but directly controlled the "flow rate" of the surrounding water.
The seawater around the black eel suddenly became extremely "thick", as if it had turned from clear water into gel. No matter how the black eel swung its tail, its swimming speed slowed down, as if it were trapped in an invisible cage.
This was an ability he had tested at the academy before. As long as he sensed the water element around him and communicated with it, he could make the river flow backward!
Nowadays, in the ocean, if one's level or understanding is insufficient, one can only change the flow rate in a small area.
"You can't escape underwater."
No, Human!
Who is the Sea Spirit Beast here ?!
The tiny eyes of the black-scaled eel were now wide open like copper bells.
Jiang Zhen said softly, leaping above the black-scaled eel, and gathering a surge of soul power in his palm.
Soul power spun in his palm, gradually condensing into a "sharpened water blade" as thin as a hair - this water blade was also a product of water element compressed to the extreme, carrying extremely strong cutting power.
He raised his hand and slashed downwards, the water blade instantly piercing the water surface and landing precisely on the seven-inch spot of the black-scaled eel.
A muffled sound came from underwater, the black-scaled eel's body twitched violently, and the surrounding water flow returned to normal.
Jiang Zhen waved his hand, and a surge of soul power lifted the corpse of the black-scaled eel to the surface of the water. A pale purple soul ring slowly floated out of the corpse, gleaming with pure water-attribute energy.
"Warm-up complete." He looked at the spirit ring, the ultimate water spirit power at his fingertips trembling slightly—after absorbing the spirit bone, his control over the ultimate water was more proficient, and he didn't have to exert much effort to deal with this kind of thousand-year-old underwater spirit beast.
He ignored the spirit ring and turned to look deeper into the deep trench: the seawater there was almost black, and the water attribute energy fluctuations coming from underwater were more intense and pure. High-age water attribute spirit beasts should be hiding in that group of underwater reefs.
