Chapter 64

What tremendous power!

Master, I think I can still absorb another soul ring; my soul power might have reached level fifty.

Li Fu Bo stood up, sensed his current bodily condition, and felt quite satisfied.

Good, then I'll continue hunting for your fifth soul ring.

Li Fei came back to his senses from his probing.

He intended to first let the other party finish obtaining their fifth soul ring, then meet up separately with his parents and the others.

Because from setting out to finding a suitable soul beast takes a relatively long time.

As that group hasn't yet entered the Star Dou Great Forest, there's no rush.

While Li Fu Bo was absorbing his fourth soul ring, he had already been searching for traces of a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

The Azure Dragon Staff had already conveyed a sensation.

We've found it; let's go.

Li Fei pulled Li Fu Bo forward quickly.

Cry!

On a lofty mountain peak, a giant eagle perched there, observing the surroundings; after detecting no movement, it wanted to nap awhile.

This eagle's entire body was golden; in the sunlight, each feather emitted a chilling golden light, and its whole body exuded a terrifying aura of ferocity.

Within the dense thickets below, Li Fei and Li Fu Bo secretly arrived, without startling this giant eagle.

What a huge eagle—is this my fifth soul ring? Li Fu Bo exclaimed in surprise.

Li Fei: "This is a twenty-thousand-year Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle with dragon bloodline; the Star Dou Great Forest indeed has an exceptionally rich variety of soul beasts—this kind of creature simply cannot be found in the Sunset Forest or elsewhere."

To avoid disturbing the eagle, their conversation was transmitted via sound.

"Master, this creature excels at flight, which is disadvantageous for us," Li Fu Bo said.

"I can fly too; wait a moment, I'll knock it down, then you finish it quickly," Li Fei said.

"Yes." Li Fu Bo nodded: "Master, be careful."

Li Fei exerted Azure Dragon Power, shot up into the sky, holding the Azure Dragon Staff, and smashed toward the slumbering Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle.

At the moment the Azure Dragon Staff was swung out, it became huge, huge, and thick.

The sky instantly darkened.

After sensing danger and an unusual darkness, the Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle suddenly opened its eyes, pupils constricted, and its massive wings rose to meet the staff.

Li Fei continuously condensed four forces, directly shattering the Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle's wings.

It howled in pain.

Swift as lightning, his figure flashed to the other wing, and he struck again with the staff.

Boom! That wing was also shattered by the immense force.

Having lost both wings, the Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle also lost its ability to fly, becoming a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Li Fei felt no pity; he swung the staff again, this time deliberately lessening the force, fearing a single blow would kill it outright.

Boom! Struck in the torso, the Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle's huge body flew backward, slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up dust.

Already prepared, Li Fu Bo burst from the thickets wielding the Small Azure Dragon Blade, unleashing his fourth soul skill, and with one strike split the Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle's head in half.

After the soul ring condensed, Li Fu Bo sat cross-legged, drawing it into his body to begin absorption.

Li Fei landed, gathered the valuable items, began to dissect the Heavenly Sky Dragon Eagle, checking whether it possessed any soul bones within.

Soon, a piece of soul bone emitting a golden glow appeared.

It turned out to be a right-arm soul bone.

"Truly lucky, just as I hoped." Holding the soul bone in his hand, Li Fei laughed.

He intended to forge a full set of soul bone equipment for his subordinate.

When a person has absorbed six soul bones, they can mobilize soul power to transform the six soul bones into a suit of soul bone armor.

At that point, their strength will naturally surge.

As for the current soul bones being low-grade, they may not be useful later, but that's nothing to worry about.

At worst, we can later seek higher-grade soul bones, cut off the non-vital parts, and reabsorb.

With the aid of medicinal pills and wood-attribute energy, there will be no side effects. Therefore, the soul bones of the torso and head require higher ages, because removing them from those areas would truly be fatal.

Li Fu Bo's absorption remained easy.

After the time it takes to burn half an incense stick, a black soul ring appeared.

His current configuration is: yellow, yellow, purple, black, black! "Fortune favors the bold!" Li Fu Bo rose to his feet and bowed with clasped hands.

Judging by his soul power, Li Fu Bo has reached level fifty-three Soul King.

"These two soul bones, take them to absorb; they respectively came from that tiger just now and this dragon eagle, and they can help you break through to a higher level."

Li Fei took out two soul bones and handed them to Li Fu Bo.

Li Fu Bo was deeply moved: "What merit do I have, old servant?"

"Don't dawdle, hurry up and absorb; there will be many places where you'll be needed later—if you're too weak, it won't work," Li Fei said.

"Yes!" Li Fu Bo didn't know what else to say, so he could only answer with his future actions.

Having taken the two soul bones, his hands trembled.

I never expected such good luck—both ten-thousand-year soul beasts dropped soul bones.

This is a ten-thousand-year soul bone and a twenty-thousand-year soul bone! Out there, countless people dream of obtaining such a supreme treasure; even a Titled Douluo would be moved!

I never expected the master would give it to him directly.

He remembered this favor.

As long as I am still alive, I will definitely risk my life to protect everything of the Li family! According to the body part, begin to absorb.

After the two ten-thousand-year soul bones were fully absorbed, his soul power rose to level fifty-nine!

Li Fei was very satisfied, bringing him through spacetime and returning to the Li family.

Li Fei said: "Temporarily entrust the household affairs to you, and also hurry to find orphans so they become the most loyal blades of my Li family; as for lacking soul power, I have my own ways to solve their soul power issues."

"Yes, sir!" Li Fu Bo nodded.

Li Fei again vanished into spacetime.

Spirit Hall branch.

Because the economy of the Spirit Hall branch in Suotuo City improved, the chief steward was also promoted to vice hall master.

Upon seeing the content of the Li family's reply, he showed a satisfied smile and hurriedly handed it to a messenger hiding in the shadows.

"This is the Li family's reply." He smiled respectfully and obsequiously.

After receiving the envelope, the messenger in the dark vanished in the blink of an eye.

"The Li family keeps growing stronger, and my pocket money keeps increasing."

"This little life is really comfortable."

The vice hall master was very glad he had chosen to cooperate with the Li family back then.

Now he is practically rolling in wealth.

Barra Kingdom, the prince's mansion.

"Now the Li family keeps growing bigger; I just get fifty percent and already have so much money. If I could control them and completely acquire their technology, wouldn't the remaining fifty percent be even more?"

"The Li family keeps growing larger, its economy ever richer; if this continues, I will likely lose control, and moreover their soul power strength keeps growing stronger. It seems I must take some suppressive actions against the Li family, so they know who is the king, who is their master!"

The prince's eyes narrowed, a look of extreme greed flashing in them.

His appetite kept growing; he wanted to annex the Li family and take everything they had.

"Your Highness, if you do that, you will utterly offend the Li family; the Li family's overall strength is not weak, plus with the Shrek Academy joining forces, and the entire Suotuo City's vast network of interests, they also have close ties with the Spirit Hall. If you truly offend them, their desperate retaliation would be terrifying. They even have three Soul Saints."

The messenger beside him, upon hearing that, his eyes flashed with a hardly perceptible light, and he immediately said.

In fact, he had already defected to the Li family, severely corrupted by them, and is also one of the important pieces the Li family planted beside the prince.

He said that also to make the prince retreat knowing the difficulty.

Because what the Li family gave him is far more than what the prince gave him.

"'Prince, don't blame me; it's just that the Li family gave too much.'"

The messenger secretly thought to himself.
