Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Su Ming: Soft Bone Lock? Isn't That Just Getting Close to the Enemy?

Su Ming then asked, "Xiao Wu, can you tell me the specific effects of your mother's fifth and sixth spirit rings?"

Xiao Wu answered truthfully, "The fifth spirit ability is called Soft Bone Lock. It's a control skill where I use my body's flexibility to lock onto the opponent. If the opponent's level isn't five levels higher than mine, they can't break free."

As she said this, Xiao Wu suddenly realized why Su Ming was asking about this.

"The sixth spirit ability is called Void Explosive Eightfold Throw. It's a life-bound spirit ring. You know Explosive Eightfold Throw, and using it as a spirit ability increases its power. As for the 'Void' part, it allows me to be immune to physical attacks, so it's both a life-saving and attack-enhancing ability."

As expected, Su Ming then spoke up, "Xiao Wu, I think you shouldn't follow your mother's path for the fifth spirit ability. You can replace it with something else, but the sixth ability is great and doesn't need to change."

Xiao Wu thought for a moment and agreed, "I think you're right. Using my body to control the enemy makes me an easy target. And with my current strength, I don't need to rely on a skill like that to control an enemy who's only five levels above me."

Su Ming cleared his throat and added, "Ahem, Xiao Wu, you're absolutely right, and that's exactly what I was thinking. But there's actually another important reason."

Curious, Xiao Wu asked, "What is it?"

With a serious expression, Su Ming said, "Xiao Wu, don't you think that using Soft Bone Lock, getting so close to the enemy, is basically giving them a benefit? I'm your man now, right? If your opponent is a woman, that's fine, but if it's a man... Well, I don't want to see you getting that close to another guy. This is a matter of my pride as a man. You could say I'm a bit controlling!"

"Do you find that annoying?"

Xiao Wu blushed and shyly replied, "Brother, what are you thinking? I'm actually happy you feel that way. How could I find it annoying?"

"You thinking this way shows you love me and don't want me getting close to other men! And now that I think about it, Soft Bone Lock does require me to fully press against the opponent, so yeah, that's not ideal."

Seeing Xiao Wu wasn't upset, Su Ming felt relieved. It was his first time in a situation like this, and even though he knew Xiao Wu's personality—how she'd follow someone she liked, being both obedient and adorable—it still made him nervous.

In his mind, Su Ming thought, "If Xiao Wu wants to use Soft Bone Lock, that's fine, but only on me. I'd actually like to see what it feels like being locked like that by her. It sounds a bit thrilling! Maybe I'll ask her to try it out later. With her flexibility, she could do it even without the spirit ability, just without the control effect."

Xiao Wu, noticing the mischievous smile on Su Ming's face, immediately knew he was thinking something naughty. She pouted, "Su Ming! You're not thinking something bad, are you?"

Caught off guard, Su Ming was shocked. Did he make it that obvious? He realized he had to be more careful. But it wasn't entirely his fault—after all, Xiao Wu had grown into a beautiful and mature woman over the last five years, and using that Soft Bone Lock on him... well, that'd be quite the treat!

While Su Ming and Xiao Wu chatted, the Titan Giant Ape finally returned to the Star Dou Lake.

As soon as they arrived, Er Ming shouted toward the lake's center, "Big brother, come out! Look, Xiao Wu is back!"

At that moment, Su Ming noticed the water in the lake began to churn. A massive soul beast with the head of a bull and the body of a serpent emerged from the lake. This was likely the Azure Bull Python!

As the Azure Bull Python surfaced, it glanced at Xiao Wu in Er Ming's hand and the human next to her. What's going on? Why is there a human with Xiao Wu?

However, the Azure Bull Python didn't immediately ask. It knew Xiao Wu would introduce this human in due time. Instead, it greeted Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, you're back."

Yet, the Azure Bull Python couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Strange, why don't I sense Xiao Wu's ten-thousand-year soul beast aura anymore? All I can sense is a human aura now."

It planned to ask more questions later. It figured that Er Ming, being the simple-minded creature he was, hadn't noticed any changes in Xiao Wu. He had probably just sensed her aura after wandering around and rushed over to bring her back.

But why did Er Ming bring a human back with them? And why were Xiao Wu and this human so close? Was there something special about their relationship?

In the short time the Azure Bull Python was greeting Xiao Wu, it had already thought of many things. It was indeed quite intelligent.

When Su Ming saw the Azure Bull Python emerge, he felt the pressure emanating from its body. It was indeed worthy of being stronger than Er Ming—a true ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Then, Su Ming took Xiao Wu's hand, jumped down from Er Ming's grip, and before Xiao Wu could introduce him, he spoke up, "You must be the hundred-thousand-year Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, that Xiao Wu told me about. I'm Su Ming, Xiao Wu's brother in the human world for the past six years, and now I'm also her boyfriend—her future husband!"

The Azure Bull Python couldn't keep its composure. Its tone turned low and dangerous, "Human! What did you just say?!"

At this moment, the Azure Bull Python's hostility toward Su Ming skyrocketed. Six years? And this human knew Xiao Wu's identity as a ten-thousand-year soul beast? He had earned Xiao Wu's trust and even had her and Er Ming bring him here? What were this human's true motives?

It wasn't unreasonable for Da Ming to think this way. In this world, the most tempting prize for soul masters was the soul rings and soul bones from ten-thousand-year soul beasts. He highly doubted Su Ming's intentions.

But then again, this human didn't seem that old—probably around Xiao Wu's age. He couldn't possibly be a match for them, so what was going on?

Even someone as smart as Da Ming was momentarily baffled by the situation.

Xiao Wu, noticing Da Ming's hostility towards Su Ming, furrowed her brows and was about to speak, but Su Ming stopped her. If he wanted Da Ming and Er Ming's approval, he'd have to earn it himself. Xiao Wu speaking on his behalf might actually have the opposite effect.

Su Ming calmly said to Da Ming, "Da Ming, there's no need to be so agitated. I'm not interested in your ten-thousand-year soul rings or soul bones. Whether you believe me or not is up to you."


Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Su Ming's Spirit Ring Configuration, and Da Ming and Er Ming’s Shock!

Su Ming then displayed his martial soul and said, "As you can see, my martial soul is the Wood Element. Your three ten-thousand-year spirit rings are not suitable for me. Besides, Xiao Wu is now my family. No matter how much I need spirit rings, I could never harm her. Isn't that right?"

Upon hearing Su Ming's words, Da Ming temporarily put aside his hostility. He decided to understand the situation better before making any decisions. After all, Su Ming was only a Spirit Elder with four rings, no threat to him and Er Ming. Although a twelve-year-old Spirit Elder was shocking, it didn't concern Da Ming much.

Er Ming then recounted everything Su Ming had said during their journey to Da Ming. Da Ming, with his sharp mind, started to think about how to handle the situation and whether Su Ming was trustworthy.

After a moment, Da Ming looked at Su Ming with surprise. This human claimed to have a way to resurrect Xiao Wu's mother, and even more surprising was that Xiao Wu believed him. At first, Da Ming thought Su Ming was just boasting. After all, reviving a spirit beast or a human was not an easy task. Da Ming himself had pondered a method for a long time, but it was too demanding and untested.

Su Ming, however, claimed that he could resurrect Xiao Wu's mother in a much simpler way, only needing a body as a medium. But Xiao Wu's mother's body had long been buried, likely reduced to bones by now.

Then Er Ming mentioned that Xiao Wu had just condensed a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring, leaving Da Ming even more astonished. According to the best spirit ring configuration for spirit masters, the fourth ring should only be about five thousand years old. And all this was possible because of Su Ming.

With that, Da Ming decided to listen to Su Ming's method for reviving Xiao Wu's mother before making any final decisions.

But before that, Da Ming was intrigued by Xiao Wu's ten-thousand-year fourth ring and wondered how Su Ming had achieved it.

He asked, "Human—no, Su Ming, can you explain how you helped Xiao Wu condense a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring?"

Su Ming calmly replied, "In fact, condensing a high-level spirit ring depends on whether the body can withstand it. And since Xiao Wu can condense the ring herself, unlike human spirit masters who must resist the lingering resentment of a spirit beast when absorbing a ten-thousand-year ring, Xiao Wu's enhanced physical condition naturally allows her to form higher-year rings."

He continued, "Normal training wouldn't be enough for this. I developed a technique called the 'Soul Power Body Refinement Technique.' As the name suggests, it uses one's soul power to temper the body. The higher the quality of the soul power, the faster the refinement process. This technique requires precise control over one's soul power, something Xiao Wu, as a transformed ten-thousand-year spirit beast, can naturally achieve without trouble."

Since he couldn't reveal the system's existence, Su Ming credited the technique to himself, confident no one else would know the truth.

Xiao Wu: No, I know.

Da Ming was stunned by Su Ming's method. He had never thought of such an approach, but Su Ming's explanation made sense, especially given Xiao Wu's background as a spirit beast. But how had Su Ming achieved this?

After all, Su Ming's spirit rings had come from hunting spirit beasts. All spirit rings carried remnants of the beast's consciousness, which typically interfered with a human spirit master's control over their soul power. The higher the spirit master's level, the greater the interference.

However, Da Ming realized that Su Ming's control must be unique. Asking further wouldn't be appropriate.

Seeing Da Ming's reaction, Su Ming knew he had gained a small amount of trust from him—just enough to move forward.

Er Ming then chimed in, "But Su Ming, why is your spirit ring configuration yellow-yellow-purple-purple? It's not like Xiao Wu's."

Su Ming and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, nodded, and both removed their disguises.

In an instant, Xiao Wu's spirit ring configuration changed from yellow-yellow-purple-black to yellow-purple-purple-black!

This left Da Ming and Er Ming both stunned. How had Xiao Wu hidden her real rings from them so well?

But even more shocking was Su Ming's spirit ring configuration, which changed from yellow-yellow-purple-purple to black-black-black-black, an even more extraordinary configuration than Xiao Wu's!

Da Ming and Er Ming began to wonder if they had been out of touch with the world for too long. Even with the Soul Power Body Refinement Technique, Da Ming couldn't believe that Su Ming could absorb a ten-thousand-year spirit ring as his first. Who had helped him hunt such a spirit beast?

As a human, Su Ming's soul power couldn't possibly surpass Xiao Wu's. Da Ming found it hard to believe.

Still, Da Ming had no interest in probing Su Ming's secrets as long as Xiao Wu was safe. Seeing that Su Ming had no malicious intent toward Xiao Wu, Da Ming's trust in him increased slightly.

Finally, Da Ming asked, "Su Ming, you are the most unique human spirit master I've ever encountered. While we don't fully trust you yet, both Er Ming and I want to know how you plan to revive Xiao Wu's mother."

"If you can convince us, we'll acknowledge your relationship with Xiao Wu and bear no hostility toward you. We'll even help you if needed, provided what you say is true!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu felt a bit anxious. Da Ming seemed to have a favorable impression of Su Ming, but the problem was that Su Ming didn't currently have the ability to back up his claim. Would Da Ming and Er Ming believe mere words?

After all, they didn't have access to Su Ming's diary like she did. Xiao Wu felt conflicted. Da Ming and Er Ming were her only remaining family, and she desperately hoped they would accept Su Ming.
