Chapter 104: Absorbing the Dragon Spine

Seeing Shi Quan leave, Zhu Zhuqing turned around and chased after him directly.

"Zhu Zhuqing, what are you doing?" Flender shouted sternly.

"I'm going to see Zhuang Zhou," Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice came back.

Upon hearing this, Flender's expression improved slightly.

Seeing this, Oscar also turned and chased in the direction of Shi Quan, "Dean, I'm going to see Zhuang Zhou too."

A perfectly good meeting ceremony ending up in such a mess was something Flender had not expected at all.

"Let's stop here for today. Everyone rest for a day, and we will continue classes tomorrow. You are dismissed," Flender waved his hand.

He dismissed the crowd.

If Shi Quan were to leave, the happiest person would naturally be Dai Mubai. As for Tang San, he originally had a very good impression of Shi Quan, but after today's events, all of Tang San's previous goodwill toward Shi Quan vanished completely.

"I thought you would stay for a while longer..." Zhu Zhuqing caught up to Shi Quan's figure.

Hearing this, Oscar's mouth opened and closed, then closed and opened again, but he couldn't say a single word, and Shi Quan himself had also said that he originally intended to leave the academy.

On the other side of the academy, Flender watched Shi Quan's receding figure and couldn't help but sigh slightly. It was hard enough for the academy to get a few little monsters, yet after only a few days, the strongest one was leaving; Flender was somewhat reluctant to let him go.

"Little Ao, let's go."

After a simple consolation, Shi Quan didn't even return to the dormitory, and with the two accompanying him, he arrived directly at the academy gate.

When we meet again, it will be with a different identity...

Goodbye to you all!

His spirit-formed figure soared into the air and quickly flew toward the distance.

After leaving Shrek Academy, a brilliant smile immediately rose on Shi Quan's lips.

"Zhuang Zhou, what did Zhuqing mean by that?" Oscar followed quickly; he had heard clearly what Zhu Zhuqing had just said.

Oscar said with an unwilling expression: "Why? Isn't the academy quite good?"

"I didn't expect things to develop like this either," Shi Quan waved his hand, putting on a helpless expression. Only he himself knew that he had deliberately used the opportunity of the Master to leave the academy.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shi Quan's figure as he walked further and further away, her eyes filled with reluctance, which then transformed into determination.

"It's okay, Little Ao. We haven't known each other long, but we can be considered brothers. We will have chances to meet in the future, don't worry," Shi Quan patted Oscar on the shoulder.

An external spirit bone is a very special type of soul bone. Under normal circumstances, it attaches to a Soul Ring and automatically merges into the Spirit Master's body as the Soul Ring is absorbed, and it will not appear in the corpse of the Spirit Beast.

Shi Quan shook his head slightly and said: "You think it's good, but I think Shrek Academy is a complete mess. Just the fact that Dai Mubai took the initiative to provoke trouble is enough for me to be unable to accept the academy's teaching philosophy. So, in the final analysis, I can only say that Shrek is not suitable for me."

"Woohoo! Take off!"

With a thud, the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider was taken out by Shi Quan from his Hundred Treasure Bag.

Shi Quan waved goodbye to the two.

To prevent anyone from following, Shi Quan traveled at high speed. By the time it was late at night, his spirit-formed figure landed in a mountain range. After some searching and finding a safe cave, Shi Quan couldn't wait to calculate his gains.

"Zhuqing, if you feel there is no point in staying here, remember to come find me. I have already said what needed to be said last night. Don't worry, I am here."

As for its Soul Ring, as time passed, it had long since dissipated and merged into the soul bone within the Human-Faced Demon Spider's corpse.

Shi Quan said: "Little Ao, it's exactly as it sounds. I never intended to continue staying at the academy. Shrek Academy is not suitable for me."

If the Soul Ring of an external spirit bone is not absorbed, the external spirit bone will appear in the Spirit Beast's body in the form of a soul bone.

This is the current situation.

Summoning the Blue Silver King and breaking open the Human-Faced Demon Spider's corpse, a purple-bright soul bone appeared in Shi Quan's hand. The soul bone was much larger than Shi Quan, composed of eight thick and long spider legs, linked together in the middle. The surface looked extremely smooth and emitted a faint sweet fragrance.

This was the scent of poison; if an ordinary person smelled this for a long time, they would be poisoned.

"Is this the Eight Spider Lances?" Shi Quan looked up and down at the Eight Spider Lances soul bone in his hand, his eyes full of excitement.

The Eight Spider Lances itself has a poison attribute and also carries a Devouring Attribute. Judging from the original story, the Devouring Attribute of the Eight Spider Lances combined with the Blue Silver Grass Domain can form terrifying Devouring Golden Threads.

This is on the basis that Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor does not possess the Devouring Attribute. Shi Quan's Blue Silver King has Yin Yang Mutual Generation and possesses both Life Attribute and Devouring Attribute. If it is paired with the Devouring Attribute of the Eight Spider Lances, once his Blue Silver Domain evolves the ability of Devouring Golden Threads, how astonishing would its devouring ability become?

Just thinking about it makes one excited.

Moreover, as an external spirit bone, the Eight Spider Lances has the ability to grow, so there is no need to worry about its low age. The only thing Shi Quan cares about now is the poison attribute of the Eight Spider Lances.

Although the Eight Spider Lances as a soul bone is an independent entity, its own poison attribute conflicts with the life attribute of the Blue Silver Grass. Used independently, they indeed would not affect each other, but if he wants to combine them with the Blue Silver Domain, Shi Quan worries that the poison attribute within will affect the compatibility of the two, preventing the perfect display of the power of the Blue Silver Domain and the soul bone.

Fortunately, the reward from the Plunder Treasure Chest helped Shi Quan solve this problem.

That's right, it is the Spirit Bone Modifier.

At the very beginning, Shi Quan's idea was to fuse the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone with the Eight Spider Lances external spirit bone. In this way, the Devouring Attribute of the Eight Spider Lances plus the Life Attribute of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, with the two attributes superimposed, would very likely neutralize the poison attribute of the Eight Spider Lances. And with the blessing of the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, the compatibility between the Eight Spider Lances and the Blue Silver Domain would certainly be greatly improved.

But in that case, the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone would be somewhat wasted, because even if the Eight Spider Lances does not merge with the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, it will grow to the level of 100,000 years or even Shiji as Shi Quan's strength grows. In the end, using a 100,000-year soul bone to improve the compatibility between the Eight Spider Lances and the Blue Silver Domain is really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Later, Shi Quan thought about it seriously and thought of another reward in the System Space: the Bloodline Crystal!

The Bloodline Crystal contains the Sacred Dragon Bloodline.

The Dragon Tribe Bloodline is the superior bloodline of all Spirit Beasts, and most Spirit Beasts are on the path of seeking to become dragons.

Moreover, according to the original description, the Sacred Dragon is the head of all dragons, and its bloodline strength is definitely the top existence among the Dragon Tribe.

If the Eight Spider Lances could absorb the Sacred Dragon Bloodline, then the Eight Spider Lances would certainly undergo a transformation. This transformation is not a transformation of strength, but a transformation of quality and origin.

Furthermore, the Sacred Dragon possesses a powerful sacred attribute. This attribute can definitely purify the poison attribute inherent in the Eight Spider Lances, and the compatibility between the sacred attribute and the life attribute is also very high. The combination of the two can give birth to a more powerful healing attribute.

However, what Shi Quan worries about is that the sacred attribute of the Sacred Dragon is too strong and might purify the Devouring Attribute of the Eight Spider Lances along with it.

Both choices have advantages and disadvantages.

Shi Quan did not struggle with it for the time being, but instead put the Eight Spider Lances and the corpse of the Human-Faced Demon Spider into the Hundred Treasure Bag first. He had to confirm one thing first.

"Extract Dragon Spine."

Under the flickering golden light, a Dragon Spine that looked like a golden spine blade appeared in Shi Quan's hand. The Dragon Spine was over a meter long, surrounded by golden light, and holding it in his hand gave a feeling of both peace of mind and unparalleled dominance.

The Dragon Spine was covered with lines, resembling mountains, rivers, plants, and trees, and also resembling the sun, moon, and stars. Counting carefully, this Dragon Spine was actually composed of thirty-six pieces.

The number of vertebrae in an ordinary person is generally thirty-two to thirty-three; the number of this Dragon Spine was three or four more than that of an ordinary person.

Thirty-six...

This number implies the count of the Heavenly Spirits; after all, he is the Human Emperor, so it is normal for it to be a bit special, Shi Quan thought to himself, looking at the Dragon Spine in his hand, yet feeling it looked somewhat familiar.

One side is carved with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other is carved with mountains, rivers, plants, and trees.

Shi Quan's mind jolted as he suddenly thought of something: the Xuanyuan Sword!

This Dragon Spine originates from the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, and the primary weapon of Xuanyuan Huangdi is the Xuanyuan Sword.

Could it be that some brother transmigrated into the Feng Yun world and prepared to refine this Dragon Bone in the direction of the Xuanyuan Sword?

The system's description of the Dragon Spine is that it is a Dragon Bone from a fan-fiction Feng Yun world; it might really be just as Shi Quan thought.

"As expected of a brother in the transmigration army, he does have some ideas of his own."

Shi Quan secretly gave him a thumbs-up in his heart and, no longer hesitating, took off his shirt, picked up the Dragon Spine in his hand, and slowly pressed it against his back.

Hum—

A slight humming sound rang out, and Shi Quan only felt the bones all over his body tremble; a sharp yet righteous aura drilled from his back into his body, and immediately following that, golden light bloomed, and the Dragon Spine transformed into countless golden air currents that wrapped around his entire person.

A warm and comfortable aura permeated the air.

Although it was a sharp aura, Shi Quan did not feel a single bit of discomfort; on the contrary, he was filled with comfort.

The golden aura fluctuated within Shi Quan's body, and Shi Quan could feel that his own Internal Energy was being specially guided by this golden aura, fluctuating slowly; with every fluctuation, his Internal Energy became more refined.

He could feel that his originally black-and-white Internal Energy, under the illumination of the golden light, had become more textured; if his previous Internal Energy was a flowing gas, then his current Internal Energy was more like a winding, flowing stream.

Violent cracking sounds of bones echoed shockingly within the stone cave, yet Shi Quan still did not feel any pain.

That warm, golden air current began to act upon the meridians throughout his body, and the Internal Energy within him also began to move; the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill and the Tendon Changing and Marrow Cleansing Method, these two Martial Arts were operating simultaneously.

Gradually, the tendons and bones within his body were dyed with a faint golden glow, and the powerful strength caused Shi Quan's tendons and bones to undergo changes at every moment.

Gradually, Shi Quan became completely immersed in this comfortable feeling...
