83: Chapter 83 The Soul Bone That Can Grow

As the Soul Power circulated through his body for another full cycle, the newly added Soul Power decreased slightly when it passed through his right arm, as if it had been absorbed by the right arm.

A wave of excitement surged in Mu Qingci's heart, and a conjecture began to sprout within him.

If this were true, his right arm bone would be incredibly powerful.

He continued to cultivate, this time converting all his Soul Power into Ultimate Light Soul Power.

After completing another full cycle, Mu Qingci verified his conjecture.

Under the cultivation of Ultimate Light Soul Power, the right arm bone's absorption of Soul Power became even more pronounced.

Mu Qingci could feel his right arm bone conveying a sense of joy to him.

It felt like a newborn beast tasting its mother's milk.

Mu Qingci was not entirely sure why his right arm bone could absorb Soul Power, but he knew this was by no means a bad thing.

Because he could feel that after absorbing the Soul Power, his right arm bone's age was increasing!

An increase in Spirit Bone age was a phenomenon that only occurred with an external Spirit Bone, yet it was actually happening to his right arm bone.

Mu Qingci guessed that perhaps due to the influence of his Ultimate Light attribute, the Spirit Bone had undergone a slight mutation, allowing it to absorb Soul Power to evolve itself.

This would certainly reduce Mu Qingci's cultivation speed, but in the long run, it was not a bad thing.

Increasing Soul Power was something every Spirit Master could do, but increasing the age of the six regular Spirit Bone parts was something not everyone—or perhaps it could be said, no one besides Mu Qingci—would ever encounter.

Mu Qingci was now at the Spirit Emperor realm.

For a Spirit Master with an Ultimate attribute, cultivation speed would soar after reaching the Spirit Saint realm, so even if Mu Qingci's cultivation speed was slightly affected now, it was of no consequence.

Mu Qingci immediately made a decision: from now on, he would bring the right arm bone into his daily cultivation.

...

After the intense and thrilling knockout rounds, the group round-robin tournament arrived.

Mu Qingci reviewed the list for their group in the round-robin tournament and did not find any famous teams from the original work; Shrek and the Star Luo Empire Royal Academy teams had been assigned to other groups.

The first match today saw the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team face an opponent named the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team.

Teams that could enter the round-robin tournament all possessed some level of strength, and the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team was no exception.

They were the strongest opponent the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team had encountered so far, with a team configuration of four Spirit Kings and three Spirit Ancestors.

This configuration could already be considered strong enough to compete for the top eight.

After meeting the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team, the Haoyang Academy team no longer had any thoughts of winning and treated it entirely as a training exercise for themselves.

Anyway, there were two slots to advance from the group stage; they just needed to defeat the other teams while accepting their loss to the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the competition venue! Today, we welcome our exciting group round-robin tournament. The first match of the round-robin tournament is the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team, led by our Child of Light and Darkness, facing the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team. Let us look forward to which combat format they will draw!"

As the draw was pulled from the lottery box, the words "one-on-one" were clearly displayed.

"For this match, the combat format for both teams is a one-on-one individual competition!"

The one-on-one combat format meant that both sides would send out seven people each to fight, with one person entering the arena at a time.

The winner would stay, and the loser would continue to send people until one side had no one left, at which point the other side would win.

The Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team, which had originally held no hope for this match, ignited a glimmer of hope upon seeing it was one-on-one.

In their view, among the starting members of the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineer Academy Team, except for Mu Qingci, the others were pure Soul Engineers whose one-on-one ability must be poor. As long as they could get the Child of Light and Darkness off the field, there was hope for victory.

In the lounge of the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team, their captain looked at the team members and asked in a deep voice: "Is there anyone willing to risk their life to desperately get the Child of Light and Darkness off the field? The academy will remember his contribution, and there will definitely be a great reward afterward!"

Their idea was to send one or two members as a suicide squad, using every means possible, even at the risk of their lives, to force Mu Qingci off the field.

After all, the competition rules stated that malicious injury to opponents was prohibited; if their member was seriously injured or even killed, Mu Qingci would inevitably have to leave the field.

After the captain of the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team finished asking, the lounge was silent for a long time.

Then, a member stood up: "Captain, I am willing!"

He was one of the four Spirit Kings in the team. He knew that if he let the Spirit Ancestors do this, they would only return without success; if he, a Spirit King, went, there might be a glimmer of a chance.

"Good, the academy will not forget your contribution!"

The captain patted his shoulder and said.

"Let's go, we're on!"

But what the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team never expected was that Mu Qingci had no intention of playing in this match at all.

"The opponent's strength is decent; it can be used to temper yourselves. Soul Engineers' close-combat ability is not strong, so you must make up for this shortcoming. Go, and I await your triumphant return!"

To prevent any real accidents, Mu Qingci arranged for Ye Guyi to lead the charge and take down two or three opponents first.

"We invite the first members from both sides to enter the arena!"

Mu Qingci nodded towards Ye Guyi, who resolutely stepped onto the arena.

The person who came up for the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team was a young man who looked sinister.

"Yo, it's a little beauty, not bad, not bad!"

The hoarse voice and vulgar words made Ye Guyi frown.

"One minute to release your Spirits, the match begins!"

The man from the Haoyang High-Level Soul Master Academy Team sneered and released his Spirit.

A green light emitted from the shadow beneath him, followed by five spirit rings: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.

Ghost Shadow, this was his Spirit.

It could not be counted as an Evil Spirit, but it possessed dark and undead attributes.

And what Ye Guyi liked the most were opponents of this type.

Accompanied by a burst of holy light emitted from her body, the Holy Angel Spirit was released.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black!

Also five spirit rings; the two sides seemed evenly matched.

But in terms of momentum, the moment the Holy Angel Spirit appeared, the Spirit King with the Ghost Shadow Spirit was significantly suppressed.

Although he was not an Evil Soul Master, the special nature of the Ghost Shadow Spirit still caused him to be strongly suppressed by the Holy Angel Spirit's attribute.

"Damn it, take this!"

The Ghost Shadow Spirit King roared and charged towards Ye Guyi.
