Chapter 98: First Spiritual Bone?
"Are you sure you can get it? I've heard of people getting bones a few years older than recommended, but never 5 times more... Are you sure?" she asked doubtfully, and Tang Yin nodded at her.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It will be simple; in a few hours we'll leave." He said firmly and began to synthesize.
In his world, all geniuses got their first spiritual bone from a 1,500-year-old beast, how could he keep something as simple as 500 years?
The first time he got a spirit bone, he got it from a 2,500-year-old beast.
And this time, he will go for one just like it.
As the bearer of the Divine Soul, his talent is more than supreme, how could he go for less?
So, he began to synthesize his backbone...
It was a long process.
To synthesize is to give a bone-like shape to the spiritual energy of the slain beast.
It's like drawing. In drawing, you grab paint and a brush to form an art out of both materials.
While synthesizing, you take the spiritual energy of the slain beast and give it the shape you want in your mind while controlling it.
So, it is a long and tedious process but with good results.
So, Tang Yin spent several hours synthesizing, and soon his column was done.
Then, he began the process of turning it into his spiritual bone.
This process was not so long and simply lasted 2 hours. In total, it was 6 hours.
After those 6 hours, Tang Yin finished, but he did not get up, he could not do it. Instantly several messages from the system came to his head, which left him a little dazed.
[Ding]
[You have obtained your first Spiritual Bone].
[You have completed one of the main branch quests, from the 'Mission Table']
[You are receiving the rewards...]
[Increased Cultivation x 3 Levels, awarding the rewards...]
Following those messages, Tang Yin felt an immense stream of spiritual energy entering him, and a token appeared in front of him for an instant, which then disappeared.
When Xie Meiyu saw this, she was stunned, 'Another disappearing token? Could it be some treasure of Tang Yin's?' She thought to herself in confusion after seeing this. The token was not the same, but it was similar, and it disappeared again once it was in front of Tang Yin, which confused her.
But, just at that instant, she realized that Tang Yin had finished absorbing the spiritual bone, so his cultivation started to grow...
Tenth Level...
First Level of the Spiritual Entry Realm!
'Did it give him so much spiritual energy?' she thought and continued to watch...
An hour later, Xie Meiyu was standing there looking at Tang Yin in a daze.
'Fourth Level of the Spiritual Entry Realm? Is it possible to increase so many levels of cultivation, just by obtaining the first spiritual bone with such a level difference?' She thought in shock after seeing that Tang Yin had broken through to the fourth level of the next realm so easily.
While Tang Yin was calm on the outside, but shocked on the inside.
He was putting all his effort into controlling this large amount of spiritual energy that had entered within himself while processing it.
When he had come on the spiritual boat, he had taken the opportunity to open his 106 Spiritual Entrances, but, despite that, there was too much spiritual energy inside his body to handle it easily.
After all, he had absorbed a third Realm beast when he was barely at the first Realm. Naturally, that would give him a good jump in his cultivation, at the very least to the second level of the second Realm possibly, but before that, the system helped him increase his level by three, so now the spiritual energy inside him was a complete mess.
Still, he gritted his teeth hard and began to process his spiritual energy inside his spiritual bowl.
Little by little and in a process that took longer than he expected...
Initially, he thought it would only take 6 hours, but because of this, he spent another 6 hours more.
Luckily, he did well, and none of the spiritual energy inside his body was wasted, so after he stopped cultivating, he smiled.
'I didn't expect there to be a mission that would give me so many good rewards, three levels in one go? Shit, so this is what the administrator meant when he told me it would help me immensely.' He thought with a smile, then stood up.
'I had forgotten how boring it was to synthesize...' He thought after remembering his 4 hours of synthesizing. He doesn't know why he remembered that at this moment, but doing so makes him long for the time when he finally had his Spiritual Bone Body complete, so he wouldn't have to do it anymore.
Still, for now, he could do nothing.
He dusted himself off and saw Xie Meiyu in a daze in front of him. And she ran toward him as soon as she saw him move.
"Are you okay!?" She asked as she continuously checked on him, and Tang Yin smiled at her.
"Of course, I am, why would it be wrong?" He replied with a smile.
"You just absorbed a 2,500-year-old beast, how can you ask me that? You just skipped 2,000 years from the recommended, do you know how scared I was? Besides, how is it possible that your cultivation advanced to the Fifth Level in only 12 hours?" She said, a little angry and surprised.
She had seen every change in Tang Yin. When she saw that he reached the fourth level and spent an hour there, she thought he would stop, but soon advanced to the fifth level, leaving her even more stunned.
Still, Tang Yin smiled at her and approached her for a kiss.
"Don't worry, I told you it would be fine. It's just a little tiger and tigers are very afraid of my hammer, so its spiritual energy is tame to me. But I got a lot of benefit from it this time." He replied and then pulled out his hammer again.
This time, his white materialized spirit bone appeared on his right arm in the form of a broken ring and then moved all over the hammer's body like a snake and came out of it.
Tang Yin controlled it to materialize in front of him and looked at it.
'The skill that tiger had was very good, I would have liked to see it in his hands.' Tang Yin thought.
'Hm, it has quite a bit of potential this skill.' He thought, as he thought of the possibilities where he could use it, and then smiled.
"Look at this skill, it's pretty cool and I came up with one that consists of two parts." Tang Yin said and moved a little away from it, then fixed a huge rock and moved his materialized spirit bone towards the hammer, putting it in place, firmly attached to the hammer.
Following that, he raised his hammer sharply upwards and then swung it hard against the ground.
"Earthquake Explosion!" he shouted.
This created a small earthquake, startling Xie Meiyu, but the next thing she saw, the earthquake moved swiftly under the ground in one direction and exploded right where the rock Tang Yin was looking at was, shattering the rock into pieces through the air.
But Tang Yin didn't stop.
He quickly swung his hammer back horizontally to his left and used the spiritual energy to gather it in his feet, and quickly jumped to the small hill where the tiger had been before and hit it hard with the hammer, raising a huge explosion that sent almost the entire small hill flying in chunks of huge rocks all over the place.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Even Tang Yin was stunned to see this.
"Shit, is it that powerful?" he thought in shock.
He knew what this ability did and that it could be used in many ways, but he never thought it could be so powerful.
True, this little hill wasn't that big, but... Destroying it like this?
'Shit, this is overkill... No wonder my father is called the Destroyer...' He thought in shock and fell to the ground unable to hide his surprise, and looked at Xie Meiyu.
"Did you see that? Surprising, isn't it?" he asked smiling, and she nodded almost unconsciously.
'The heavenly hammer is that powerful like that? No wonder everyone is afraid of it...' She thought and smiled widely after that.
"Hahaha, Tang Yin, you really are powerful. You've stunned me, I think when you're at the Sixth Realm you'll be unrivaled even a whole realm above you." She said with a big smile, and Tang Yin smiled proudly.
"Hehe, of course." He replied and saw that it was getting dark.
"Let's go back to the city. Maybe we can leave this same night for the Red Thunder Sect if we hurry." He said, and she nodded to him as she started to follow him.
