Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 259 - Stuffing an elephant into an ant's body?

She pondered this all the way, and just as Qian Lingyun saw the lush Soul Beast Forest not far away and began to control her flying Soul Tool to enter gliding mode, she suddenly blurted out:

"Teacher, when you stuffed the bone dragon into the armor... was it a complete suit of armor?"

"Um?!"

Electrolux grunted, seemingly still not quite understanding, and instinctively asked, "What? A whole suit of armor?"

"Teacher, armor comes in many parts, like helmets, upper body armor, skirt armor, arm guards, and knee pads..." Qian Lingyun said, pulling on the glider valve as she hovered and landed, adding, "Teacher, you didn't just stuff a bone dragon into an arm guard and then it exploded, did you?!"

"What you said... actually makes some sense!" Electrox lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, as if recalling something extraordinary, and said softly:

"I tried to cram the power of a skeletal dragon into a very ordinary enchanted armor, and it exploded... If I reinforced the armor material and dispersed the power a bit, maybe it would actually work!"

Qian Lingyun blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you just use a powerful suit of armor to compress the bone dragon's power, teacher?!"

"You silly girl, why are you sometimes so clumsy and sometimes so clever?!" Electrox, exasperated, gave her another flick on the forehead, criticizing her with some dissatisfaction, "Do you think high-level armor needs these kinds of superfluous powers? Or rather, who would use such high-level armor for experiments?"

"That's true!" Qian Lingyun laughed awkwardly, rubbing the bump on her forehead as she protested.

"Teacher, next time I drive this thing, please don't hit me. What if you make me stupid? You might lose such a smart, beautiful, and exceptionally talented student like me!"

"Tsk." Electrox clicked his tongue a few times, teasingly saying, "Stop being so cheeky. If you're really afraid of this, can your teacher turn you into an undead creature or something?!"

"Undead creatures?!"

Qian Lingyun's lips twitched slightly, and she hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "There's no need for that. I still prefer my current soft and lively self. If an undead creature has a stench or something, my pretty face will be ruined..."

You little brat, you don't even try to hide anything! Your teacher is a lich! How could you say such hurtful things!

Fine, since you still remember to find me a body, I'll let it go for now.

Electrolux didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart he had already cursed Qian Lingyun, that naughty girl, to the point of being furious.

He thought aimlessly: Once he has a physical body, will this little girl be all grown up? Will he be able to beat her up then?

After circling above the Soul Beast Forest, Qian Lingyun successfully attracted a large amount of hatred, so much so that... as soon as she landed, she was surrounded by a dense swarm of soul beasts.

Qian Lingyun rubbed her hands together, then looked at the soul beast in front of her with a beaming smile, and couldn't help but let out a strange, cackling laugh:

"Heh heh heh, you have a path to heaven but you choose to barge into hell! I was just planning to get a few pieces of mystical soul bones for research! And now you're all sticking your heads out for me to chop off, how wonderful!"

The spirit beasts are terrified and all want to go home to their mothers.

But the ending might be good. Qian Lingyun very "enthusiastically" found the soul beasts' relatives and friends and turned them into secret soul bones.

They even thoughtfully transformed them all into undead creatures with soul fire burning in their eyes, allowing them to reunite as a family in the undead demiplane.

Whenever she thinks about her "thoughtful act", Qian Lingyun can't help but feel grateful for her "kindness"!

After a busy afternoon, Qian Lingyun managed to acquire a total of nine secret soul bones.

They consist of a skull, a torso, two left arms, two right arms, a left leg, and two right legs.

Although they come in all sorts of strange shapes, they can still be considered as having the basic components of a six-piece Soul Bone set.

With the Soul Bone in hand, the next crucial step is to roll up the Bone Dragon and incorporate it into the Soul Bone through enchantment.

Floating in mid-air, Electrox looked at the bone dragon lying asleep on the ground and couldn't help but remind it:

"For a first experiment, I wouldn't recommend wasting a bone dragon. After all, a bone dragon isn't some small fry like a skeleton soldier that you can summon thousands of at will!"

"So, teacher, you mean... let me practice with something simple, right?"

Qian Lingyun raised an eyebrow, already understanding what Electrolux meant. She pursed her lips and nodded, summoning down a harpy from among the creatures circling in the sky. Its cultivation level was roughly equivalent to a human fourth-ring Soul Master.

"I taught you the extraction spell. Come on, let me see how well you've learned it!" Electrox produced a dark red whip from nowhere and casually flicked it in the air!

A loud cracking sound rang in her ears. Qian Lingyun swallowed hard, staring at Electrolux in disbelief, and said, "Teacher... what is this...?"

"If students don't do well in their studies, shouldn't teachers criticize them? Otherwise, how can students improve?"

Electrox gave a forced smile, put away his whip, and gestured towards the harpy, indicating, "Look, don't keep me waiting!"

"This isn't criticism, it's clearly corporal punishment..."

Qian Lingyun muttered a few words with a dark face, but her movements didn't slow down at all.

As her eyes gradually turned a deathly gray, obscure and incomprehensible incantations continued to resound.

One after another, gray runes, amplified by special power, floated in the air half a meter in front of Qian Lingyun and landed one by one on the body of the harpy.

Before long, the harpy's dark blue body was covered with a dense array of runes.

Gradually, the runes branded on the harpies shone brighter and brighter, their energy fluctuations weakened, and their bodies became incredibly ethereal, like a soul approaching nothingness.

Raising her hand to grasp the illusory energy body, Qian Lingyun used her modified necromancy—Soul Compression—in conjunction with her own soul power to compress the harpy's power from the size of an adult human to just a circle smaller than a billiard ball.

"An improved version of solidified souls? That's certainly a novel method!"

Electrolux replicated the magic that Qianlingyun had modified herself, and after confirming the feasibility of the spell, he showed a look of satisfaction.

She's definitely a promising talent for magic! But she still needs further development.

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement or surprise flashed across Electrox's eyes. He quickly composed himself and reminded Electrox, "The energy extraction is complete. What follows is a much simpler energy injection process. You just need to keep an eye on the container's status."

"Hmm," Qian Lingyun responded, meticulously transferring the harpy's power little by little into the secret left arm soul bone on the ground!
