Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er Walk into the Trap
"Alright, I'm willing to join Tang Sect and will never regret it," Shui Bing'er declared solemnly.
"As the master, I welcome both of you to Tang Sect. Here's a little gift for joining," Mu Chen said, touching Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's foreheads with his fingers. A stream of soul power flowed into their foreheads.
In their eyes, numbers seemed to flicker and glow.
"This is..." Shui Bing'er said, surprised.
"It's the Heavenly Frost Fist. You can think of it as a self-created soul skill. Your martial soul is ice-based, and your soul power is also ice-based, making it very suitable for you to cultivate," Mu Chen explained.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were overjoyed. They had just joined Tang Sect and already received a self-created soul skill. Mu Chen was indeed generous!
Exchanging glances, they both felt that joining Tang Sect would bring many benefits in the future.
However, recalling their initial reason for joining, Shui Bing'er asked, "What about the external spirit bone? Didn't you say we could come to you if we wanted one?"
Shui Yue'er also looked at Mu Chen expectantly.
External spirit bones were even rarer treasures than self-created soul skills. As soul masters, who wouldn't be tempted by them?
"Actually, it's no secret. To obtain an external spirit bone, you simply need to exceed your limits and absorb a higher-level spirit ring. The excess energy from the spirit ring can form an external spirit bone. The higher the level of the absorbed spirit ring, the greater the chance of obtaining an external spirit bone," Mu Chen explained.
"Is that all?" Shui Bing'er asked skeptically.
"That's all," Mu Chen nodded.
"Are you joking?" Shui Bing'er asked with a doubtful smile.
"Jiangzhu, show them your spirit rings," Mu Chen instructed.
"Yes, Mu Boss," Jiangzhu nodded and stepped forward.
One
Two
Three
Four
Four spirit rings appeared under Jiangzhu's feet. The first, second, and third were yellow, yellow, and purple. In front of Shui Bing'er, a prodigy, they weren't anything to boast about. But her fourth spirit ring was black.
"A... ten-thousand-year spirit ring?" Shui Bing'er stared at Jiangzhu's fourth ring.
"To be precise, it's a fifty-thousand-year spirit ring," Mu Chen corrected.
"What, fifty thousand years?"
Shui Bing'er was stunned.
"What, fifty thousand years?"
Shui Yue'er was also shocked.
As soul masters, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er knew the limit for absorbing a fourth spirit ring was five thousand years. Yet Jiangzhu's fourth ring was fifty thousand years old.
Fifty thousand compared to five thousand was a tenfold increase!
And Jiangzhu dared to absorb such a high-level spirit ring.
Seeing Jiangzhu nod proudly and looking at the five lines on the black ring, Shui Bing'er exclaimed, "You guys are monsters!"
"We are monsters by nature!"
Ma Hongjun said with a proud smile.
"Every one of us at Shrek is a monster."
Oscar added proudly.
Looking at Ma Hongjun, Oscar, then at Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San, Meng Yiran, Dai Mubai, and Princess Xue Ke, their faces all showed pride and no envy of Jiangzhu.
"Could it be that you all have external spirit bones?" Shui Bing'er asked with a raised brow.
"Of course, with Brother Mu, they naturally enjoy the best," Xiao Wu smiled proudly, feeling honored as Mu Chen's girlfriend.
"Uh!"
Shui Bing'er was speechless. Losing to such a team, she was convinced. Looking at each of the Shrek Eleven Monsters, she felt that the Spirit Hall Academy would surely lose heavily this time.
All eleven members had external spirit bones. That was terrifying. Since the founding of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, there had never been such a powerful team.
The Spirit Hall's Pope might call their Academy's participants the Golden Generation, but to Shui Bing'er, these people were truly the Golden Generation of the soul master world.
"That's a given," Ning Rongrong said confidently.
The championship was a must for Ning Rongrong, Meng Yiran, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Jiangzhu, and the others.
"Can I see your spirit rings and external spirit bones?" Shui Bing'er asked out of curiosity.
"No," Mu Chen shook his head.
A flash of disappointment crossed Shui Bing'er's eyes.
"Although you're now part of Tang Sect, and in theory, you should know, walls have ears. For their safety, I must keep them hidden," Mu Chen explained.
"Mm." Shui Bing'er nodded in agreement.
For this tournament, the Pope of Spirit Hall had offered three soul bones as the championship prize. His intentions were clear to the world. It was merely a way to reward certain people and to silence others.
Anyone who seemed likely to claim those three soul bones would surely make it onto the Spirit Hall's list of threats to be eliminated.
Mu Chen's approach was understandable to Shui Yue'er.
"Rest assured, I'll make you a monster too," Mu Chen said confidently with a smile.
"Mm."
"Mm."
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er nodded, then looked at Mu Chen, paused, and addressed him, "Master!"
"Don't call me Master. If you don't mind, call me Mu Boss or Mu Big Brother like the others do," Mu Chen interjected.
"Mu Boss, according to what you said, to get an external spirit bone, one must absorb a spirit ring beyond the limit. From what I know, doing so would cause the body to be overwhelmed by the spirit ring's energy, leading to a fatal burst," Shui Bing'er questioned.
"You're right. For ordinary soul masters, that's true. But what if the soul master's physical strength is very high?" Mu Chen asked.
"A soul master with high physical strength?" Shui Bing'er was puzzled. Her martial soul was a beast soul, but her physical strength couldn't match Jiangzhu's, who absorbed spirit rings beyond her level. She could only absorb rings three to four thousand years old at most.
"Jiangzhu, show them!" Mu Chen instructed again.
"Yes, Mu Boss," Jiangzhu nodded.
Without questioning Mu Chen's orders, Jiangzhu walked to a large stone, smiled at Shui Bing'er, and then charged at the three-to-four-ton boulder.
Boom
With a deep sound, the attention of Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Ye Leng Leng was drawn to the stone.
With a crack, the boulder was split by Jiangzhu's seemingly gentle impact.
Gasping
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Ye Leng Leng all gasped in astonishment.
Jiangzhu, who wielded a healing staff as an auxiliary soul master, had a physical strength surpassing many beast soul masters.
"Any more doubts?" Mu Chen asked with a smile.
"Uh!"
"Uh!"
"Uh!"
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and Ye Leng Leng were still shocked, staring at the cracked boulder.
"Is she even human?"
Shui Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim.
"No, we're monsters!"
Ma Hongjun said with a smile, teasing Shui Yue'er with his gaze.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have a secret for refining the body to make it stronger?" Shui Bing'er speculated.
"If you want to become stronger, come to my camp with Ye Leng Leng at eight tonight," Mu Chen said coolly.
