Chapter 137 Shocking! Ling Yuan Actually Has a Brain!
Placing the golden soul bone on his lap, Qin Mu closed his eyes and began to adjust his state.
After a brief adjustment, Qin Mu restored his energy and spirit to their peak condition and immediately began absorbing the golden soul bone.
Upon connecting to the soul bone, Qin Mu's first reaction was one of strong rejection.
This soul bone seemed to possess its own sentience, and no matter what, it refused to merge with Qin Mu.
It seems that she looks down on himself.
Upon sensing this emotion emanating from the soul bone, Qin Mu immediately became somewhat angry.
No matter how powerful you were in life, right now you are just a soul bone that no longer has a physical body!
What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty?!
Manipulating his immense soul power, Qin Mu began to fight against the golden soul bone.
Qin Mu desperately squeezed his soul power into the golden soul bone, attempting to establish contact with it.
But the power of the golden soul bone far exceeded Qin Mu's imagination.
At the very beginning, Qin Mu's soul power entered the soul bone and melted away like ice and snow meeting fire.
This change did not deter Qin Mu; on the contrary, it fueled his desire to conquer it.
As he continuously increased his output of soul power, the golden soul bone soon began to struggle to cope.
Although the golden soul bone's protective energy was very strong, it couldn't compete with Qin Mu's abundant soul power!
During this process, Qin Mu also realized that his soul power was superior in quantity rather than quality, so the soul power he later injected into the golden soul bone gradually solidified.
The golden soul bone, which was already struggling to hold on, immediately began to retreat in defeat.
After a while, the energy within the golden soul bone was gradually overtaken by Qin Mu's soul power and eventually disappeared completely.
After doing all this, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not relax.
After all, if absorbing this soul bone were so simple, then the Snow Maiden, whose soul power was far greater than his own, wouldn't have been unable to absorb it despite exhausting all her methods.
Sure enough, when Qin Mu tried to absorb the soul bone again, a very solid barrier formed inside the soul bone.
Manipulating his soul power, Qin Mu attempted to break through the barrier, only to find that its defenses were far beyond his capabilities.
Even if one exerts just a little bit of their soul power, the barrier can still reflect that soul power back.
"It seems that the Snow Maiden failed to break through this barrier."
Having figured out the reason, Qin Mu naturally had his own solution.
He circulated his soul power throughout his body, completing a full cycle, and then he activated the dragon energy that he had absorbed deep within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Carefully manipulating this power, Qin Mu once again attempted to connect with the golden soul bone.
This time, however, the barrier inside the golden soul bone was like a water mirror, allowing his soul power to enter freely.
"As expected, this golden soul bone is closely related to dragon-type soul beasts."
"I just don't know what kind of soul beast this golden soul bone was taken from."
"But it certainly wouldn't be low. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to suppress the Snow Maiden in terms of bloodline."
With his doubts resolved, Qin Mu began absorbing the soul bone with great ease.
Inside the ice cave, Ling Yuan and the other two never took their eyes off Qin Mu.
They were also eager to know whether Qin Mu, with his current strength, could absorb this soul bone that even the Snow Maiden couldn't absorb.
After waiting for a while, golden fluctuations suddenly appeared on Qin Mu's body.
At the same time, the golden soul bone also emitted the same frequency of fluctuation.
Clearly, Qin Mu has already begun the absorption process.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
The Snow Maiden's eyes held a slight surprise and some complexity, but in the end, it all turned into relief.
What is destined to be yours will be yours; what is not, you cannot force.
It seems that this soul bone is indeed not meant for her.
Just then, Ling Yuan sighed inappropriately.
"What? You're not happy that Qin Mu was able to absorb this soul bone?"
"It's not because of the soul bone, but because of some other things."
Ling Yuan pretended to be sad and heavy-hearted, and sat down to one side with a sense of loss.
"What is it? Feel free to speak. At least in this far north, I'm still quite capable!"
The Snow Maiden confidently made her promise. She didn't dislike Ling Yuan and Yue Guan, and was naturally willing to help them.
"Actually, it's nothing. Qin Mu's sixth spirit ring absorbed a 100,000-year-old spirit beast, and his strength has increased significantly."
"Watching Qin Mu grow stronger little by little, I was naturally very happy. I originally wanted to help him test his soul skills, but he refused."
"His reason was that he felt using that 100,000-year-old soul skill might harm me."
After listening, the Snow Maiden couldn't help but nod.
"There's nothing wrong."
"Generally speaking, a 100,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a Title Douluo level in your human world, or even higher."
"The only possibility for a human to be able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring is when they break through from the eighth to the ninth ring."
"Qin Mu's case is very special, but it should be the only one of its kind."
"Although his current strength is insufficient to fully utilize the power of a 100,000-year-old soul skill, it's still possible for him to harm you!"
The Snow Maiden's earnest analysis only deepened Ling Yuan's worried expression.
"That's exactly what I'm worried about!"
"Qin Mu is getting stronger and stronger. I can't even help him test his sixth soul skill yet. What will happen when his soul skills are fully developed? Won't they seriously injure me?"
"I even feel that his current 100,000-year-old soul skill could directly harm you!"
The Snow Maiden, who had been nodding, immediately showed indignation on her previously calm face when Ling Yuan said that Qin Mu could hurt her.
"I don't blame you for saying such a thing, after all, you have no idea how powerful a 600,000-year-old soul beast is!"
"But let me tell you the truth, even if you brought that 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape here in person, he would still be slapped to death in front of me!"
Seeing that Ling Yuan looked down on her, the Snow Maiden angrily argued with Ling Yuan, but she didn't notice the smile that Ling Yuan couldn't stop when she sighed with her head down.
"That's because you have no idea how powerful Qin Mu's 100,000-year soul skill is. You'll know once you try it yourself!"
"That domain alone is extremely challenging for me!"
"That's you!"
Seeing that Ling Yuan was about to speak again, the Snow Maiden interrupted her directly.
"Alright, since you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you!"
"Isn't Qin Mu afraid of hurting you? Let him use that 100,000-year-old soul skill on me!"
"Don't just say one, use four! Use all four together!"
"Let's see if he can actually hurt me!"
As the Snow Maiden spoke, she raised her head with a hint of pride.
"Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll reluctantly agree on Qin Mu's behalf!"
"I'll put in a good word for you then, and I'll make sure you get to show off your amazing strength!"
