Chapter 2041 - 2042: Fusion

After returning to his residence, Ye Luo found himself already soaked to the skin. To say he wasn’t nervous would be a complete lie, because if anything went wrong, he’d lose his life!

"Thankfully, all the issues were blamed on that Liu Bing, but this isn’t a long-term solution. Who knows when that guy will come to the Liu Family? By then, his lies will unravel themselves! The current plan is still to merge the Dragon Bone into myself. The stronger the power, the safer it is!" Ye Luo calculated in his mind.

In the next moment, he pulled out the Dragon Bone. Although the Great Magical Power of the Dragon Kings hadn’t completely recovered, the Supreme Elder’s cultivation wasn’t as profound as those Dragon Kings’, so naturally, it was difficult to detect the presence of this Dragon Bone.

Suddenly, he swiftly stowed away the Dragon Bone.

"Who’s there?"

"It’s me, Liu Qing. Are you asleep?" Liu Mei’s voice sounded from outside.

Although Ye Luo didn’t want to see anyone now, he knew someone must be watching him around here, so he couldn’t afford any abnormal actions.

"Come in."

The door opened, and Liu Mei slowly walked in.

Today, she changed her outfit, shedding her usual aloofness and appearing more down-to-earth, making her more attractive to Ye Luo. After all, she usually felt too unreal.

"Did you come to see me for something?"

Ye Luo currently had no mind for anything else; his life was the priority.

"I just wanted to see if you were okay. The Family Head didn’t give you a hard time, did he?"

Ye Luo shook his head. "No, he didn’t. I’m injured and too tired, that’s all!"

The disappointment on Liu Mei’s face flickered momentarily, "Alright then, I’ll come see you tomorrow!"

Ye Luo frowned, also unsure what Liu Mei was thinking, suddenly showing such care for him.

But now he couldn’t worry about it. Casually tossing out a talisman character, he sat cross-legged on the mat on the ground.

This mat was quite common in the Liu Family, capable of absorbing Spiritual Energy and calming the mind, making it a rare treasure.

Ye Luo took out the Dragon Bone again, and suddenly, the familiar warmth resurfaced in his heart.

Without hesitation, he began to activate the Body Swap technique!

Of course, this was quite different from the initial Body Swap technique; it was more a minor method to accelerate the fusion of the soul and the body!

Previously, the Body Swap technique completely disassembled Ye Luo. However, he was currently oblivious to the previous circumstances; otherwise, he wouldn’t keep his sanity.

"Merge!"

He slapped the Dragon Bone onto his shoulder!

Based on his understanding of the Dragon Clan, this piece of Dragon Bone should be the shoulder bone!

Instantly, his shoulder was enveloped in golden light!

...

In the morning, the Liu Family was brightly lit and festive.

Today was the day of the contest for the Kunwu Sect’s Sect Master candidate, followed by the Sect Master’s birthday banquet!

The Family Head had long been waiting at the Martial Arena, with Liu Mei and Liu Cheng standing on either side, and Liu Shang standing beside Liu Cheng.

Beside Liu Mei was a valiant-looking young girl.

Now that Liu Bing’s whereabouts were unknown, the Liu Family had to gather five people, or else they would become the laughing stock of other families.

"Hmph, really think the Liu Family can’t do without you, huh? On such an important day, you can still be late!" Liu Cheng grumbled discontentedly at the side.

The Family Head’s face didn’t look good either; after all, so many people were watching, and it wouldn’t do his prestige any favors!

"Didn’t I tell you to notify him this morning? Why isn’t he here yet?" The Family Head frowned and asked several Liu Family servants.

"Reporting to the Family Head, we did notify Young Master Liu Qing this morning, but we don’t know why he hasn’t arrived yet!"

The servants became anxious.

The Family Head was about to speak again when he suddenly squinted his eyes.

Not only him, but the surrounding people also looked over.

Liu Qing came!

Yes, the one walking over was indeed Ye Luo, who at this moment radiated an extraordinary aura, his body even more elongated than before, approaching a golden ratio.

Moreover, everyone felt a cold aura occasionally emanating from him, sending shivers down their spines.

Naturally, this cold aura was simulated by him to showcase his strength!

Indeed, Ye Luo couldn’t be low-profile at this moment; he had to be high-profile to obtain the Sect Master candidate qualification!

As for his body, it had genuinely grown taller, and he didn’t intend to hide this fact.

After all, one would undoubtedly gain benefits from entering the Tower of Trials, and no one else would doubt changes in his physique.

"Liu Qing, how dare you show up late on such an important day? Are you ignoring the Family Head’s words? Do you think you can challenge the Family Head’s authority?"

Before anyone else could speak, Liu Cheng widened his eyes and rebuked angrily.

Upon hearing this, the Family Head slightly frowned. This guy was clearly stirring up trouble. The Family Head hadn’t intended to hold Ye Luo accountable, but now it seemed unavoidable!

"Liu Qing, why were you late?" The Family Head asked calmly.

If Ye Luo couldn’t give a reasonable explanation, then there was no choice but to punish him.

Ye Luo smiled, "Reporting to the Family Head, I overslept!"

Overslept? The Liu family members around were wide-eyed, unable to believe he would offer such an excuse!

Is this even an excuse? This is simply courting trouble!

"Haha, did I hear that right? Overslept? It seems you don’t take the Family Head’s words seriously, or do you think that entering the ninth level of the Tower of Trials makes you a peerless genius that no one in the Liu Family can match?" Liu Cheng laughed.

Even Liu Cheng hadn’t expected that response, but since Liu Qing was digging his own grave, he might as well help him!

"Bold! On such an important day, you dare oversleep. According to the family’s rules, you’re disqualified from this contest and will face the wall in contemplation at the back mountain for three years! During these three years, you’ll lose access to the genius disciple cultivation resources!" The Family Head pronounced with authority.

Actually, he didn’t want to punish Ye Luo. Any random excuse would’ve sufficed, but Ye Luo was adamant about blaming oversleeping. How was the Family Head supposed to save face?

No one was surprised by the punishment; Liu Qing was simply courting death!

The happiest was Liu Cheng, almost breaking into laughter. Liu Qing had been too eye-catching in recent days. Even if he had a trump card, it came at a cost. Effortlessly removing this opponent was definitely the best outcome.
