Shen Liuyu's Transformation

Chapter 28 Shen Liuyu's Transformation (2)

Shen Liuyu blinked her big blue eyes, then obediently leaned closer, her face full of anticipation.

Shen Hanyu then opened the second wooden box, inside which was the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-attribute food. It can remove impurities from the bloodline and increase the bond between the user and the earth. Ah Yu, your Enamel Crocodile Martial Soul is also a dragon species. Even if you don't transform into a dragon after consuming it, you will at least reach the level of a crocodile king."

Shen Liuyu's mouth gaped open, and finally she said softly:

"Brother, where did you get all this treasure? Tell me! Did you hook up with a rich woman...?"

Shen Hanyu was speechless, his lips twitched, and he pinched the little girl's pretty face hard, saying:

"This is what my brother got in exchange for a deal with a senior. What are you thinking? Your brother is so handsome, how could he possibly date some rich woman or anything like that? Just kidding."

Shen Liuyu rubbed her cheeks, snorted, and quickly put away the earth dragon golden melon. Then, she playfully stuck out her tongue at Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu cleared his throat before continuing:

"I suggest you save the Earth Dragon Golden Melon for after you reach level 35. As for when you should take it, that's up to you. But I must remind you, increasing your strength too quickly can easily cause unnecessary trouble, understand?"

Shen Liuyu nodded obediently, while her beautiful big eyes turned to the other two wooden boxes.

Shen Hanyu couldn't help but chuckle, but still casually picked up the two wooden boxes and said:

"These are two right leg bones. One is exactly 10,000 years old and comes from the wolf bandits. The other is a little over 30,000 years old and comes from the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros. I'm giving them to you. You just need to absorb the soul bone from the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros. Although the soul bone from the wolf bandits is of similar quality and age, it is ultimately no match for the One-Horned Ice Demon Rhinoceros."

Shen Liuyu: "!!!"

"My dear brother, are you really being kept by some rich woman? You actually got two soul bones that are over ten thousand years old! No, no, I need to calm down, sob sob... Why is there such a big difference between us even though we have the same parents..."

The little girl patted her head, her big eyes filled with clarity and confusion, looking rather pitiful.

"Tsk tsk, Ayu, it's been two years, and you seem to be getting more and more like a... green tea bitch...?"

Shen Liuyu hugged the two wooden boxes tightly, then opened each one and looked inside. Her eyes showed liking and excitement, but even more so, confusion.

"Brother, you gave me two pieces of my right leg bone, but I only have one right leg!"

Shen Liuyu expressed her doubts.

Shen Hanyu looked at Shen Liuyu, who looked completely bewildered, and swallowed his words, finally saying after a long pause:

"You can keep it for yourself, give it to your parents, give it to a friend you completely trust, or return it to me if you don't want it."

Shen Liuyu quickly shook his head and hid the two wooden boxes deep inside his soul tool.

Tianmeng then said in Shen Hanyu's mind with a slightly teasing tone:

"Hanyu, your sister and you are the complete opposite. Your sister is a little too...innocent..."

Shen Hanyu remained silent for a moment, silently thinking to himself:

"I wish she could live such a carefree life forever..."

………………

A day and a half later.

Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu appeared on the outskirts of the largest forest in the vicinity.

Shen Liuyu absorbed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum during this period and indeed broke through to level 20. Shen Hanyu estimated that after absorbing the second soul ring, Shen Liuyu's soul power would probably reach level 25 or 26 directly.

This is also a troublesome matter, because Shen Liuyu has difficulty explaining his sudden surge in strength, and Shen Hanyu can't find a reason for the time being either, so they can only wait and discuss it later.

This time, Shen Hanyu and Shen Liuyu's target is a soul beast that is between 1,000 and 1,300 years old, and the quality requirements are extremely high. The only possibility is to go deep into the forest. The outer areas are full of second-rate soul beasts, and even if the age is right, the quality is still too poor.

The most powerful soul beasts here are only 20,000 to 30,000 years old, and they pose no threat to the safety of Shen Hanyu and his companion, so there is naturally no need to worry about their safety.

Shen Hanyu and his companion circled the depths of the forest and finally locked onto a 1,200-year-old three-winged blood-striped ant.

The three-winged blood-striped ant is not as common as the giant ant or the black fire ant.

This is a special kind of soul beast. It sounds like a dark or fire-attribute soul beast, but in reality, it is an earth-attribute soul beast.

When the Three-Winged Blood-Striped Ant is first born, it is completely white. After it devours the blood of its first food, faint red stripes will appear on its body. The more blood and soul beasts it devours, the darker the red stripes become, and the stronger it becomes.

Studies have shown that three-winged blood-striped ants with deep, dark blood stripes, dating back thousands of years, can easily defeat three-winged blood-striped ants with light, pale blood stripes, dating back tens of thousands of years.

This is a very rare occurrence. Normally, soul beasts of the same species and age are roughly equal in strength, but this particular soul beast is an exception.

The blood-patterned markings on the body of this 1,200-year-old three-winged blood-patterned ant were already as red as blood, which showed just how much blood of soul beasts it had absorbed and how many lives it had devoured…

Neither Shen Hanyu nor Shen Liuyu knew about the innate soul skills of this kind of soul beast, but ant-like soul beasts are best known for their strength, which is a hundred times greater than their own, and their keen perception. These two qualities are exactly what Shen Liuyu's martial soul needs. After some discussion, Shen Liuyu still chose this soul beast.

The Three-Winged Blood-Striped Ant is not a social soul beast. Even though the opponent was a thousand-year-old soul beast with superior combat power, Shen Hanyu still easily defeated it.

As a slightly reddish purple spirit ring appeared, Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised. He sensed a strong blood aura within the spirit ring, which was why it had a reddish hue.

Shen Liuyu gave Shen Hanyu a playful smile, and then began to absorb the soul ring.

Shen Hanyu leaned against an ancient tree and entered a meditative state. Tianmeng chatted with Shen Hanyu for a few minutes and then silently helped keep watch over the surroundings. If any soul beasts approached, Tianmeng would use her mental power to simulate other powerful soul beasts to scare them away.

It must be said that the Heavenly Dream skill is utterly useless against powerful soul beasts, but for these relatively weak soul beasts, it is simply a divine skill.

………………

It didn't take Shen Liuyu long to absorb the soul ring, about three hours. After absorbing the soul ring, his soul power directly reached level 25, and he only needed one more opportunity to break through to level 26.

Shen Liuyu was overjoyed, as the increase in soul power saved her almost two years of cultivation time.

The soul skill brought by the Three-Winged Blood-Patterned Ants did not disappoint the two. It was a powerful amplification soul skill that increased both strength and attack by 150% after use. This would be a terrifying boost at the Great Soul Master level. In battle, if the opponent was not careful, being injured would be the least of their worries. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
