Chapter 94 Research on Soul Bones and Soul Beast Cultivation

After discovering the compression of soul power, Jerry understood how soul bones were created.

Although his soul power was compressed, that was due to the cultivation technique. This time, after coming to the forest and transforming his divine body, his divine sense could see more things.

For example, Jerry discovered that the quality of soul power among soul beasts is different. Most of them are normal, but some with stronger bloodlines have a significantly higher concentration of soul power. Their bloodlines compress their soul power, which is why these soul beasts are stronger.

Moreover, the soul bone is not what the master said before. It is easier to obtain a soul bone by killing a soul beast before it dies.

Some powerful soul beasts have their soul power compressed, roughly twice that of ordinary soul beasts, allowing them to fight opponents of higher levels.

After these soul beasts are killed, only half of their soul power is needed to condense a soul ring. The other half will be attached to the strongest bone in the soul beast's body, directly energizing that bone, which is how a soul bone is formed.

Many ordinary soul beasts do not have enough soul power to quantify a bone, so they will not produce soul bones.

Jerry examined Erming and found that the bones in Erming's arms were significantly stronger than the others, with his right arm being stronger than his left. Furthermore, Erming's soul power was about 2.8 times that of an ordinary soul beast, far exceeding that of other 100,000-year-old soul beasts, which were generally only slightly more than twice as strong.

It seems that soul power compression is the key to soul bones. Let them all train in gravity fields more often, and maybe many soul beasts will be born with soul bones in the future.

I've researched the cultivation of soul beasts before. A miniature version of the soul beast will appear on the head of the soul beast, which functions the same as the soul power seed, absorbing soul power at all times.

"Erming, I want to study the methods of observing the cultivation of soul beasts," Jerry said.

"We soul beasts don't have any special cultivation methods. When the time comes, we can level up!" Erming said.

Jerry didn't think so. He thought of demon cultivators and their inner cores. This world has inner cores, and soul beasts with inner cores don't have soul rings. They should be the ones cultivating normally. It seems he'll have to go to the City of Slaughter sometime in the future. The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, an ancient beast, only has an inner core, no soul rings.

"Erming, can you feel a miniature version of yourself on your head?" Jerry asked.

"I can't feel it, a miniature version of myself? Is this fun?" Erming asked.

"Erming, this is the Dew of Longing, try absorbing it," Jerry said.

"It's so small, it wouldn't even fill a gap between your teeth, Jerry, are you sure it'll work?"

"This is very precious, you should try it first, just swallow it."

"Then I'll give it a try."

As Erming swallowed the Dew of Longing, Jerry saw that Erming, whose head had shrunk, was now clearly moving. He stopped absorbing the soul power of heaven and earth and began to absorb the energy of the Dew of Longing directly. He quickly finished absorbing it, but it was like a drop in the ocean, and there was no obvious change.

"It's useless, Jerry!"

"No, that's probably too little. There are still thirty drops here. Swallow them all at once. If it's not enough, we'll have to make more later!"

"Okay," as the thirty drops of Longing Dew entered Erming's body, the miniature Erming became excited and immediately ran to Erming's stomach to begin absorbing it.

It can still move! It seems this miniature version of Erming is staying there because its head is comfortable.

As the miniature Erming absorbed the Dew of Longing, it finally changed, becoming clearer and clearer. What was originally just a phantom image could now be clearly seen in terms of facial features. After becoming completely clear, it slowly began to grow larger, and finally, when it became exactly the same as Erming, it merged with Erming.

Then Erming's body began to tremble, as if he were in great pain.

"Hang in there, Erming!"

"I can still hold on!"

Then, the soul power in the world surged towards Erming, quickly forming a soul power shield that completely enveloped him.

"Holy crap, it's turned into an egg? Shouldn't Erming be born viviparous?" Jerry exclaimed in surprise.

The commotion attracted other people, and Da Ming also ran over.

"What's wrong with Erming?" Xiaowu asked.

"I don't know. I let Erming absorb the 'Longing for Autumn Dew' to boost his mental strength, and then this happened!"

"I can tell that Erming is in good condition right now," Daming said.

"So what do we do now? Let's wait," Xiao Wu said.

"We can only wait. He's turned into an egg now, what else can we do?" Jerry said.

"By the way, could you help me find the Soft-Boned Rabbit, the Nine-Heart Begonia or other begonias, and the Netherworld Cat in the forest?" Jerry said.

This time, he doesn't plan to let him absorb other spirit beast spirit rings. Although other spirit beast spirit rings will give him some spirit skills, they will also contain other things that enter his martial soul.

So Jerry is preparing to cultivate a soul beast that is the same as his martial soul. This time he brought a lot of Grandpa Jack's carrots with him because he can't grow his own martial soul now, so he'll try using Grandpa Jack's.

Grandpa Jack didn't want to come to Wuhun City; he couldn't bear to leave his homeland. Jerry could only arrange for people to protect him in Shenghun Village.

After searching extensively, Haitang finally found a Nine-Heart Begonia. Upon seeing it, Lingling trembled all over, as she had always thought this plant was extinct! She never expected to find one in the Star Dou Great Forest.

This nine-heart begonia is over six thousand years old. Jerry planted it in a separate area and also propagated more than a hundred cuttings, almost plucking the original nine-heart begonia bare, which made Lingling feel heartbroken.

Many Soft-Boned Enchantress Rabbits have been found, but the oldest is only 20,000 years old. Their bloodline limits their growth. It seems that Xiao Wu is special, or perhaps she encountered some kind of opportunity in the past.

"Xiao Wu, if I remember correctly, rabbits shed fur? Do you still have any of the fur you shed before?" Jerry asked.

"You're the one who's shedding fur! Can't you talk properly!"

"Sorry, I didn't explain clearly!"

"It's long gone. Ten thousand years from now, soul beasts will be able to control their fur. My fur is so beautiful, I wouldn't want it to fall out!"

"Oh, I see! That makes things a bit tricky!"

"Are you a pig?"

"Xiao Wu, why are you swearing at me!"

"Even though I've taken human form, I still have the bloodline of a soul beast!"

"I……"

Yes, Jerry forgot about that before. For example, Tang San's fifth spirit ring was formed from bloodline, and in fact, Tang San is a hybrid of human and beast, with half human blood and half spirit beast blood.

Xiao Wu is a true soul beast with the bloodline. Although Xiao Wu no longer has a soul ring, her bloodline is still there!

"Xiao Wu, give me a hair! I'll prepare a spirit ring for you now."

"Okay, haha, Jerry, you can be silly sometimes!"

"Xiao Wu, let's not talk about this, we're still good friends!"

"I'll say it, I'll say it!"

"Say that again, and I won't be polite!"

"Go ahead and try it if you dare!"

"You'll regret what you said!"

Come on over.

……

Soon, a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit Soul Ring appeared.

"Xiao Wu, come and absorb your own spirit ring, haha!"

"Jerry, you've gone too far!"

"Hurry up and absorb it!"

Xiao Wu ignored Jerry and prepared to absorb the spirit ring. The moment she touched the spirit ring, it entered Xiao Wu's body, and she immediately broke through.

"What's going on?"

"It's a bit like me forming a spirit ring myself, except you helped me form one, so I absorbed it as soon as I touched it, it's that simple!"

"I……"

"Ha ha ha ha"

After absorbing her seventh spirit ring, Xiao Wu unleashed the results of her previous training, which had led to her breakthrough to level 77. Her seventh spirit skill, Soft Bone Rabbit True Form, boosted all her attributes by five times.

That's incredible! If I remember correctly, in the original story, Xiao Wu's seventh soul master was a clone—seven combat clones, each with only 5% of the attack power. Now, all her attributes have increased fivefold! This is insane! Is this the protagonist's halo?
