I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 262 Soul Bone Seeking

"This is the life of a god!"

"But Xiao Wu actually grew real rabbit ears and a tail, which is a really pleasant surprise!"

After seeing Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu off, Xiao Wuji was pushed by Dugu Yan towards his residence. With so much knowledge now, the school library was no longer of much use to him. He could now focus on improving his cultivation.

Moreover, in about half a year, the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament will officially begin. Originally, he did not plan to participate in this tournament, but the rewards for this tournament just happened to include a left leg bone and a right arm bone.

These two soul bones can also serve as a backup option for him to repair his limbs, since soul bones that are 100,000 years old are extremely rare.

"This is troublesome. I don't even know if I'll be able to leave once I'm inside Wuhun City!"

"It seems I still need to have a serious discussion with my brother Xue!"

Before even returning to his own residence, Xiao Wuji turned a corner and went to the Crown Prince's residence next door, then headed straight for the Crown Prince's study.

However, this was in the Crown Prince's residence. Even though Xue Qinghe had instructed them not to stop him, they would still report to their superiors. So, after Xiao Wuji arrived, Xue Qinghe had already prepared tea and was waiting for him.

Xue Qinghe pushed a cup of tea in front of Xiao Wuji and asked, "Brother, instead of studying at the academy, what brings you here?"

"Sigh, I'm destined to be a workaholic!"

He picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp, then began to pour out his grievances.

"As you know, my leg is crippled, so I just came up with a way to heal it."

"What method?" Xue Qinghe asked with great interest.

Xiao Wuji pointed to his severed leg and said, "I will replace my bones with my soul bone, and then flesh and blood will grow back on top of the bones!"

"However, this would require two extremely high-quality soul bones!"

Xue Qinghe staggered back, and said meaningfully, "You don't actually think I could produce such a treasure, do you? Two of them!"

"Alright, I'm not counting on you anymore!"

Xiao Wuji waved his hand dismissively and said, "I just had my eye on the rewards from the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament."

"Even if the soul bone isn't suitable, I can exchange it for another one!"

"That's right. I'm worried that with my special circumstances, once I enter Spirit City, I might not be able to leave! That's why I asked you to come and think of a solution for me!"

Xue Qinghe nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although they hadn't specifically publicized Xiao Wuji's abilities, their level of secrecy was also quite low. Meng Shenji had even informed some of the more talented students within the academy. After all, Xiao Wuji's abilities would eventually be used on them, and giving them advance notice would increase their competitiveness!
Therefore, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Wuji's intelligence should already be on the table for a considerable number of forces.

Putting aside other matters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Dot Tyrannosaurus School both knew about Xiao Wuji. They had also wanted to meet Xiao Wuji, but she had them all turned them away!
The Spirit Hall definitely knew, since she was the one who relayed the message, though it didn't reach the Pope. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it's indeed possible that Xiao Wuji wouldn't be able to escape.

But the situation is anything but normal now; she's an undercover agent! And she's also the future heir of the Spirit Hall. With these two identities, taking Xiao Wuji out of Spirit City will be a piece of cake.

"Wuji, you can rest assured. The Spirit Hall wouldn't dare to openly detain a count from my Heaven Dou Empire. As for the secret, I will ask my teacher for help!"

With Xue Qinghe vouching for him, Xiao Wuji finally felt relieved and said, "Brother Xue, I'm relieved to hear you say that!"

"You're relieved, but I'm not!" Xue Qinghe said with a wry smile, "You don't look like someone who can fight alone right now! You need to know that the competition isn't just about seven-person team battles; there are also individual battles!" "The Spirit Hall's seeded team even has three Soul Kings, two of whom have spirits that are extremely effective against your Cuscuta spirit. The third one's mental attribute should also be able to counter your second spirit!"

"In this situation, tell me how you're supposed to win?"

Xiao Wuji was stunned when he heard this. If he had all four limbs intact, he would not be afraid of them. But the problem was that he was now disabled and most of the martial arts techniques he had created could not be used. Under such circumstances, he really did not dare to guarantee that he could win.

"In that case, I will try my best to break through level 60 before the competition starts! At the very least, I will break through to level 55 or above!"

"With this, I'll be 100% confident of winning the championship!"

Xue Qinghe was almost speechless at Xiao Wuji's words. He put down his teacup and said, "Wuji, you're really joking!"

Xiao Wuji shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you!"

After absorbing his fourth spirit ring, his spirit power level was 43. Later, he used his second spirit to absorb two more spirit rings, pushing his cultivation level all the way to 47.

Yesterday, he used his spiritual energy to replenish Xiao Wu's essence again. Although most of his soul power was used to build his soul core, the excess soul power still pushed his cultivation level up by two small steps, reaching an astonishing level of forty-nine!
With the Soul Core, his speed of refining the soul power of heaven and earth was countless times faster than before, and the same was true for refining medicinal power. Even with normal cultivation, he was confident that he could raise his cultivation level to level 55 or above within half a year.

If he were to use a secret technique to compress his heart and cause it to release even more medicinal power, then reaching level 60 wouldn't be out of the question.

Xue Qinghe thought Xiao Wuji was teasing her. Even with her talent, it took her two or three years to go from level 40 to level 50, and it would take even longer to go from level 60!
"Wuji, I think you'd be better off finding yourself two teammates!"

Seeing that Xue Qinghe clearly didn't believe his words, Xiao Wuji took advantage of the moment when Xue Qinghe was drinking tea and said casually, "I'm level forty-nine!"

"puff!"

Xue Qinghe spat out a mouthful of tea, looked up and saw Xiao Wuji's mischievous grin, and immediately said angrily, "Wuji, are you doing this on purpose?"

"How could that be? I was just stating a fact!"

Xue Qinghe glared at Xiao Wuji and said, "Dare you lower your lips when you say that!"

"Haha! Was I that obvious? Looks like I need to learn how to manage my expressions!" Xiao Wuji said with a carefree laugh.

"I really don't know how you cultivated! Compared to you, those so-called geniuses are nothing at all!"

"That includes me!"

Xue Qinghe didn't say the last sentence aloud, but it was a true reflection of her inner thoughts. She had tried to find out the reason, but no matter how she investigated, she found nothing and could only attribute it to Xiao Wuji's efforts.

"Ha, I regard all the Soul Masters in the world as mere trinkets!"

Seeing Xiao Wuji's unbridled arrogance, Xue Qinghe almost couldn't help but burst out and teach him a lesson. However, for the sake of her mission, she not only held back but also suppressed her anger and praised him, saying, "Compared to you, my brother, the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall is nothing."

"Brother, this time you must help my Heavenly Dou Empire to finally hold its head high and show its true colors!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"
