— Chapter 108 —

“Go on, absorb the spirit bone,” Ah Yin said with an adoring smile at Han Yuan. “I made it perfect just for you, Xiao Yuan!”

Han Yuan smiled back, “Thanks, Mom—I mean Ah Yin…”

“Fufu, how cute~!” Ah Yin was amused by his reply.

He placed the external mask spirit bone on his face. The absorption was quick and smooth because the Dark Blue Silver Emperor’s origin within it resonated with his Purple Silver Grass, making it a perfect match.

Ah Yin wasn’t lying when she said it was perfect for him; the compatibility between the Dark Blue Silver Emperor’s Mask and Han Yuan exceeded 300%, which was quite surprising.

According to Han Yuan’s estimation, his compatibility with the Blue Silver Emperor’s leg bone was already 100%.

Of course, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor’s Mask granted Han Yuan new spirit skills and refined spirit energy and life force equivalent to several years of cultivation—though not too effective anymore.

Han Yuan’s requirements to reach level 70 were too high!

After absorbing the external mask spirit bone, Han Yuan couldn’t help but sigh in wonder. “I know you used your origins to reshape the spirit bone, but how exactly did you engrave a third spirit skill?”

Ah Yin nodded and explained slowly, “You see… The flight spirit skill was ‘practically’ useless since I know you can fly, so I erased it and replaced it with Devouring Heaven and Earth.”

“Then, I meticulously improved the life-saving spirit skill into the Mother’s Nature Blessing. This ability isn’t an engraved spirit skill but a sealed one that I embedded into the spirit bone as a passive ability, which means it is technically part of my origin and not just a spirit skill.”

“Lastly, I engraved Life Replication as a new spirit skill because you can’t disguise yourself yet, making it suitable for the mask spirit bone.”

“So, the real spirit skills are only Devouring Heaven and Earth and the Life Replication?” Han Yuan tilted his head thoughtfully.

Ah Yin nodded, “Mm, but all this was possible because the spirit bone used to be part of myself.”

“I can’t really modify other spirit bones unless they are from plant-type ones.”

“That’s good enough.” Han Yuan praised her highly. “Your expertise in this field will help me develop artificial spirit bones.”

“Hehe, I’m glad you like my gift.” Ah Yin was genuinely happy.

“Like it? No, I love it!” Ah Yin’s existence was like a sudden breakthrough to Han Yuan, but he didn’t know how risky it was to say such passionate things to a lonely woman.

“Aww, Xiao Yuan~!”

Sure enough, Ah Yin’s eyes glimmered even more with love as she hugged Han Yuan and rubbed her cheeks on his back, wishing she could melt into him.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo arrives at this part of the garden and sees Han Yuan getting hugged by a beauty. He was puzzled because no one should be able to access the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well beside them and then realized the tall willow-like blue silver tree disappeared.

‘Don’t tell me that woman is the Blue Silver Emperor?’ Dugu Bo couldn’t help but connect the dots. ‘Although the young master said she would recover soon, this is too fast, right?’

Then, again. Dugu Bo doesn’t know much about the weird physiology of a transformed 100,000-year-old spirit beast as he only met one, no, two of them in his life.

Han Yuan finally noticed Dugu Bo’s presence and waved his hand, “Senior, let me introduce you to the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin. She will be one of us from now on.”

“Ah Yin, this is Senior Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo.”

Ah Yin smiled and bowed gently, “Nice to meet you, Poison Douluo. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Yuan all this time.”

“Haha, no, no, you are making me blush. I should thank the Young Master instead.” Dugu Bo responded humbly. Even then, inside, he couldn’t help but wonder how Han Yuan made Tang Hao’s spirit beast wife choose their side.

She doesn’t seem forced.

No, she seemed to be happy around Han Yuan.

What kind of magic you put on her, Young Master?!

Of course, Dugu Bo doesn’t know about the complex mother-son bond Han Yuan had with Ah Yin. Otherwise, he would understand Ah Yin’s decision.

“Since you’re here, let’s start the God Slayer Project.” Han Yuan changed the topic of the conversation. “You have met the condition to do the Spirit Destruction Method.”

“Wait, Xiao Yuan!” Ah Yin suddenly interjected.

“I know a few things about stripping spirit rings from the martial soul, as the transformed spirit beast had some inheritance about this field.”

“We can even resurrect ourselves with this method, though it was useless for my clan, and I never tried it. We can use this inheritance to improve the Spirit Destruction Method.”

Han Yuan raised his eyebrow and said casually, “Are you perhaps talking about the spirit beast’s resurrection method through the fusion of spirit ring, spirit bone, some treasures that support spirit, body, and soul, and then the aid of nine spirit rings, right?”

“The nine spirit rings were ‘naturally’ stripped through specific methods.”

“As expected of Xiao Yuan, you even knew about this method!” Ah Yin clapped her hand and wasn’t surprised by this because she knew her baby was a reincarnated person.

Meanwhile, DUgu Bo was shocked by their conversations. “Spirit Beasts have such inheritance?”

Han Yuan rolled his eyes, “Where do you think I got the ideas to develop the Natal Spirit Ring and Spirit Destruction Method? I theorized humans in the ancient era used to be able to produce their own innate spirit rings by mimicking spirit beasts and their origins.”

“It’s simply evolution.”

“If not, you wouldn’t have awakened the beast spirit, Senior Dugu.”

“You would either awaken a throwing spear or stone axe.”

“…” Dugu Bo’s mouth twitched. You don’t have to put it that way either, you know? Alright, I understand, okay?

Ah Yin nodded in agreement, “Xiao Yuan is right. We do have some ancient records about this.”

“Unfortunately, humans couldn’t produce stronger origins than us, so they chose to hunt for spirit rings instead of making their own. Well, that’s just how this world works.”

She glanced at Han Yuan and gently placed her smooth hand on his head, ruffling his hair a few times. “Well, here is the technique of stripping the spirit ring. It might be unsuitable for humans, but it should help you improve the Spirit Destruction Method.”

Han Yuan lowered his spiritual defense and let the technique flow into his head, murmuring, “I see, so transformed spirit beasts used their origin and spiritual power to agitate the connection between their natal spirit ring and martial soul, allowing it to be stripped clean without affecting both sides…”

“Impressive!”

“It’s indeed safer than the Spirit Destruction Method, though slower.”

“Give me a few minutes, and I will improve the Spirit Destruction Method for you, Senior Dugu!” Han Yuan grinned at Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo doesn’t know how to feel about this.

He was happy and conflicted because this boy said he’d improve his god-like method to strip the spirit ring like it was some poem revision.

Han Yuan successfully improved the Spirit Destruction Method and gave it to Dugu Bo, “Done! We can start now.”

“Oh, by the way, do you have the Spirit Catcher ready?”

Dugu Bo chuckled before showing three Spirit Catchers that hold spirit rings from rare, pure-blooded dragon spirit beasts, “They are here.”

Toxic Swamp Dragon Eel.

Fire-Breathing Dragon Cobra.

And finally, Dark Night Dragon Horse.

Each of these spirit rings will enhance Dugu Bo’s draconic power once more, possibly evolving the Jade-Eyed Nether Dragon to a higher stage, and at worst, they will still strengthen it.

“Hehe, let’s do this!” Dugu Bo sat down and started using the newly modified Spirit Destruction Method.
