Douluo Continent: The Evil-Eyed Dragon God, Many Women, Many Blessings

Chapter 287 Sometimes, things don't have to be forced.

When the three of them had almost finished eating, Xiao Xiao finally woke up from absorbing the spirit ring.

When the six senses are restored, the first thing that happens is not sight, but smell.

"Wow, it smells so good. What does this smell like?" Xiao Xiao opened his eyes and saw the bonfire in front of him.

Huo Yuhao smiled and handed her a pair of chopsticks: "It's dinner time."

Xiao Xiao's eyes sparkled, her attention completely drawn to the delicious food in front of her. She snatched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat that Huo Yuhao had just finished grilling and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

"How does it taste?" Huo Yuhao asked, squinting.

Xiao Xiao nodded her little head like a chick pecking at rice, and mumbled, "Ugh~ Yuhao, I love you to death! I'm going to follow you from now on. Wherever you go, I'll go too. I don't need a salary, just meals, hehe."

Huo Yuhao laughed and said, "Great! Follow Brother Hao, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury and grow tall!"

"Yeah! Hao-ge is awesome!"

Di Qianqiu watched the two fooling around with a smile, while Elder Xuan sighed inwardly, it seemed that no one would be able to shake Yuhao's core position in their little group anymore.

"I'm full! Phew, as expected of Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat! I feel warm all over now, so comfortable!" Xiao Xiao let out a satisfied sigh, wiped the grease from her mouth with her sleeve, and looked completely content.

Elder Xuan had already eaten his fill, but he wasn't idle. While Xiao Xiao was eating the meat, he had already dissected the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear into eight pieces like a skilled butcher carving up an ox. Huo Yuhao used his ultimate ice to freeze and preserve the large chunks of good meat, saving them for later when they got back.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear meat is incredibly nourishing, a rare delicacy even among the core disciples of Shrek Academy. Elder Xuan originally intended to keep the rest for himself, but after Huo Yuhao discovered his ulterior motives, he incited Xiao Xiao to launch a "whimpering" offensive. In the end, Elder Xuan couldn't resist and reluctantly shared half with Huo Yuhao.

"Elder Xuan, shall we go out, or stay here and let Xiao Xiao absorb the soul bone as well?" After dividing the spoils, Huo Yuhao asked Elder Xuan.

Elder Xuan said, "Let's stay here. I'm quite satisfied with my meal and don't want to move. With me here, no soul beast will dare to approach."

Indeed, they were cooking hot pot and grilling meat here, yet no soul beasts dared to bother them. Huo Yuhao and his companions were truly baffled as to how Elder Xuan had managed this; they hadn't sensed any oppressive aura emanating from him.

Xiao Xiao had already heard Elder Xuan recount the story of the Dark Gold Terror Claw, an external soul bone. Now, upon hearing the mention of absorbing this soul bone, she looked at Huo Yuhao and Qiu'er with a deeply moved expression and said emphatically, "Yuhao, Qiu'er, thank you!"

Huo Yuhao waved his hand and laughed, "No need to be polite, we're all family." He meant it sincerely. If Xiao Xiao could really absorb this external soul bone, he wouldn't feel any regret at all. Because in his heart, Xiao Xiao already belonged to the category of "one of us," and Huo Yuhao was not stingy at all when it came to his own people.

Elder Xuan smiled and handed the soul bone to Xiao Xiao. Xiao Xiao took the soul bone, examined it carefully, and then sat down on the spot, mobilizing her newly broken-through soul power to merge the soul bone with herself. Subsequently, the left palm bone seemed to melt under the action of her soul power, turning into a pool of dark golden liquid that slowly seeped into her left hand.

Di Qianqiu said in a low voice, "I forgot to let Xiao Xiao show us her newly acquired third soul skill. The soul skill bestowed by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear must be amazing. I have a feeling that Xiao Xiao's Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron will become much more powerful with this thousand-year soul ring."

Generally speaking, most Soul Masters only acquire their first thousand-year Soul Ring Skill upon reaching the Soul Grandmaster level. The leap from two to three Soul Rings is a huge one, not only because their Soul Power and talent are unleashed, but also because of the qualitative change in their Soul Skill. The power of a thousand-year Soul Ring Skill is significantly greater, and its variability is also much greater, especially since Xiao Xiao obtained a Soul Ring that was far more powerful than anticipated.

Elder Xuan agreed, "The soul ring of the Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear must bring extraordinary soul skills. Alright, you should cultivate for a while first. It will probably take Xiao Xiao quite some time to fuse with the soul bone."

Di Qianqiu nodded and sat down cross-legged to begin cultivating. Huo Yuhao did the same, but he still kept some attention on Xiao Xiao. As a player who had spoiled the plot, he had a certain expectation of what would happen next.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards Xiao Xiao, sighing inwardly: Sure enough, there was still a problem!

As the liquid formed from the left metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terror Claw flowed into her palm, she initially felt quite comfortable, as if a warm liquid was enveloping her left hand. However, this warmth quickly turned into burning heat. Although her soul power was circulating at high speed, it was completely unable to intervene in the fusion of the soul bone in her left hand.

And that scorching heat gradually turned into intense heat!
It was clear that Xiao Xiao's entire left hand had turned a dark gold color, and it seemed as if something was trying to crawl out of her palm. The intense burning sensation caused sweat to bead on her forehead; the feeling of her palm being roasted over a fire was excruciating. Xiao Xiao felt as if her left hand was charred, and this sensation was gradually spreading to her entire left arm.

The intense burning pain caused Xiao Xiao's body to tremble slightly, and the trembling gradually became more violent, while the dark golden light on her left hand became more and more obvious.

Elder Xuan's drowsy, drunken eyes suddenly widened, and he flashed to Xiao Xiao's side, carefully observing his last disciple.

Xiao Xiao's body trembled more and more violently. Elder Xuan could feel waves of frantic will emanating from her left hand, as if a life was struggling desperately within it. This struggle was not resistance, but a breakthrough, like an oviparous creature trying to hatch. Xiao Xiao was clearly unable to withstand it.

not good!

Elder Xuan inwardly cursed himself for his carelessness. He had been so focused on the various advantages of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left paw bone that he had forgotten the biggest difference between soul bones and soul rings: soul bones prioritize inherent quality, while the age of a soul ring is more important. The fact that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could continue to grow to such a level even after its right arm was crippled was enough to demonstrate how much effort it had put into training its left arm. Therefore, the left paw bone produced under such circumstances would naturally be of exceptional quality!
Furthermore, the Dark Gold Terror Claw soul skill is inherently domineering, and its appearance in the form of the left palm bone is equivalent to a complete version of the Dark Gold Terror Claw that has undergone special training by the left-handed bear.

Its terrifying power makes it arguably the most formidable ability of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lineage. However, Xiao Xiao's cultivation is only at the third ring, and she is still young. The pain from this fusion, along with the power of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear bloodline contained in her left palm bone, is proving difficult for her to withstand!
