Chapter 96 - I Want That Rabbit's Soul Ring

One day later.

A piece of news spread throughout Heaven Dou City.

Two of the top three sects after Spirit Hall—the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—had formed a marriage alliance.

Although it was only an engagement for now, the dowries and betrothal gifts exchanged by both sides were more abundant than the total wealth of several small noble families.

However, Yu Xiaowei, who became the center of public opinion, shut his ears to the outside world and focused entirely on training within the family.

Ever since he let go of the emotional knots in his heart, his cultivation speed had increased sharply. After just a few days, his spirit power had already reached level 43.

At his current cultivation speed, he was expected to reach the Soul King level by the time of the Elite Spirit Master Competition.

As for his fifth spirit ring, Yu Xiaowei had a very bold idea.

However, certain prerequisites needed to be met to realize this plan.

---

"Uncle, I want the spirit bones in the family vault. The older, the better—and the more, the better."

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen, who had been calmly drinking tea, nearly spat it out.

After several intense coughs, Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaowei in shock and asked:

"Xiaowei, what do you need spirit bones for now?"

"Don't you know how dangerous it is for a low-level spirit master to absorb high-year spirit bones?"

As the rarest treasures in the Douluo Continent—second only to spirit rings in power enhancement—spirit bones were always fiercely contested.

Especially high-year ones over 50,000 years old.

Every time one appeared, it triggered a bloodbath.

As such, without exception, all high-year spirit bones were in the hands of Spirit Douluo-level masters or higher.

For instance, the 50,000-year-old spirit bone Yu Xiaowei already possessed would likely lead a Spirit Douluo or even a Titled Douluo to risk offending the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to take it from him.

But what was Yu Xiaowei asking for now?

He wanted the family's high-year spirit bones—and as many as possible?

Was he tired of living?

---

"Uncle, I'm still missing four pieces—head, torso, right leg, and left arm."

"The clan should have some in reserve, right?"

"You mentioned last time that the Red Flame Turtle King's bone was originally meant for me."

"If you can't give me the others, at least give me that one. I'll take it."

Yu Xiaowei's casual tone about spirit bones made Yu Yuanzhen chuckle bitterly.

This child truly treated spirit bones like Blue Silver Grass.

Indeed, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did possess some high-year spirit bones—even one over 100,000 years old.

But the three highest were all in Yu Yuanzhen's possession.

Upon consideration, only the Red Flame Turtle King's bone truly suited Yu Xiaowei.

However, Yu Xiaowei was still only a spirit master.

Ning Fengzhi had already given him two spirit bones. With this one, that would make three.

In the eyes of other spirit masters, he was a walking treasure vault.

Worried for Yu Xiaowei's safety, Yu Yuanzhen firmly refused:

"No. No matter what you say, I can't give it to you now."

"As I've said before: once you reach the Saint Soul Master level, I'll give it to you."

---

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's firm stance, Yu Xiaowei bit his lip, knelt down, and said resolutely:

"Uncle, I've made up my mind. I need this spirit bone today."

"Don't ask why—I have my reasons."

"The sooner I absorb this, the better. Otherwise, it'll be useless later."

Yu Yuanzhen frowned deeply. His nephew had never taken advantage of the clan's resources.

Even last time, when Yu Luomian wanted to give him a spirit bone, he had firmly refused.

What was different today? Why was he being so insistent?

Seeing Yu Yuanzhen hesitate, Yu Xiaowei began playing the emotional card.

"Uncle, at worst I'll stay out of sight until I become a Saint Soul Master. That way the clan won't have to worry."

"This spirit bone is truly useful to me."

"Besides, it'll be mine sooner or later—so what difference does it make whether I get it now or later?"

"Remember, I gave the Dragon Blood Fruit to Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, and I brought one back for the clan."

"Just those three fruits are worth more than one spirit bone."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The boy had a point.

Those three Dragon Blood Fruits could eventually produce three Titled Douluo.

Currently, the clan only had one pitiful Thunder Douluo. But with the fruit, they could have five in the future.

And all this was because of Yu Xiaowei.

Thinking this over, Yu Yuanzhen made a decision.

He would take the risk. At worst, the clan could be managed by Yu Luomian in the future, while he personally ensured Yu Xiaowei's safety.

Yu Yuanzhen took out a box and tossed it to Yu Xiaowei, saying helplessly:

"Xiaowei, get up."

"Here's the spirit bone."

"Just make sure to stay safe. Don't reveal this spirit bone until you reach the Saint level."

Yu Xiaowei respectfully saluted after receiving it and quickly left with a joyful face.

Watching his nephew leave, Yu Yuanzhen stroked his chin and thought:

"What's pushing this boy to get the spirit bone so urgently?"

---

After receiving the spirit bone, Yu Xiaowei didn't immediately absorb it. Instead, he went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to meet Ning Fengzhi.

Upon hearing his request, Ning Fengzhi was so shocked he almost fell out of his chair.

Asking for high-year spirit bones was already extreme.

But what did he mean by saying if Lin Li couldn't reach level 90, the Rabbit Spirit Ring would be his?

Yu Xiaowei wanted to absorb a 100,000-year-old spirit ring at level 50?

Was he insane!?

---

"Uncle Ning, this is exactly why I need the spirit bones."

"If your clan has a dragon-type spirit bone over 50,000 years old, even better."

"I'm still missing three spirit bones. If I can collect a full set before level 50, I can definitely withstand the 100,000-year beast's spirit ring."

"Don't worry about mental strain. I may not have a strong spiritual force, but I have a treasure that protects me. Mental attacks are ineffective."

"You know how terrifying a Soul King who can absorb a 100,000-year-old ring would be, right?"

"Besides, I have leads on at least four 100,000-year spirit beasts."

"If I succeed, I'll become a Titled Douluo with five 100,000-year spirit rings."

"Can you imagine how powerful that title would be?"

"And I'm also your son-in-law. In the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's affairs will be mine as well."

"So it may look like a loss now—but you'll profit greatly in the future."

Ning Fengzhi was swayed by Yu Xiaowei's persuasion.

As he said—he was his son-in-law! If his son-in-law grew stronger, so would the sect.

"Xiaowei, are you certain you can absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring with a full set of spirit bones?"

Ning Fengzhi asked in disbelief. Yu Xiaowei's plan went against common cultivation knowledge.

Without saying a word, Yu Xiaowei released his spirit rings.

Seeing the pitch-black ring, Ning Fengzhi was momentarily dazed.

Yu Xiaowei shrugged.

"This is a 20,000-year spirit ring. I absorbed it effortlessly."

"Honestly, even if it were a 30,000-year ring, I think I could've handled it."

"So with the enhancements from high-year spirit bones, I'm confident I can absorb a 100,000-year ring."

After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi no longer doubted him and nodded.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does have a 50,000-year-old dragon-type right arm spirit bone in storage."

Hearing this, Yu Xiaowei smiled.

Now he had four spirit bones.

As for the head bone—there would be one as the grand prize in the upcoming Spirit Master Competition.

As for the right leg bone—he now knew the location of a 100,000-year-old one.

And he had a way to obtain it.
