Choosing the Soul Bone Part, Zekrom's Power

Upon seeing Leng Yaozhu take out and place a pair of soul bones in front of him and Na'er, Gu Lie's first reaction was not to consider whether he needed to absorb the soul bones, but to turn his head to see Na'er's reaction.

If Gu Lie remembers correctly, in the original work, whenever Gu Yue sees a soul bone or hears someone mention a soul bone, she will poke her own ears to deafness (no, that's not right). She will then put on a stunningly beautiful face, just like a senior superintendent of a certain Lungmen Guard Bureau.

Although in the original work, Na'er's character development is not very deep, except for being close to Tang Wulin, having a brain-wrestling match with Gu Yue, and eating and drinking with Tang Wulin.

Moreover, Wang Qiu'er, who was also a soul beast ten thousand years ago, did not show much rejection towards the soul bone.

But Gu Lie was still worried. What if Na'er really had some kind of soul bone PTSD and it flared up here...?

However, what Gu Lie saw was Na'er looking at him with a gaze that was both expectant and conflicted.

That expectant look in her eyes was genuine; it was exactly the look Na'er would have when she saw delicious food but couldn't eat it.

Clearly, she also longed for these two extremely rare soul bones, but considering that the Ancient Hunter also needed them, she was very conflicted.

Seeing the two staring at each other in bewilderment, Leng Yaozhu tried her best to control herself, but the corners of her mouth still turned up slightly.

She was worried that her two children would fight tooth and nail over the soul bone, and might even turn against each other.

However, the two children's performance had already reached the ceiling of Leng Yaozhu's expectations. If she hadn't been trained not to laugh easily, her reaction at this moment would have been to suppress her laughter.

"Alright, if you both want these two soul bones, then each of you can have one."

"Or do you all want the right arm spirit bone? Don't worry, your teacher will prepare spirit bones of quality no less than these two for you in the future..."

But before Leng Yaozhu could finish speaking, Gu Lie grabbed the left arm bone as if he wanted to possess it immediately.

"I'm sorry, Na'er, teacher, I'd rather have this left arm soul bone, is that alright?"

"Brother, you're not left-handed, why don't you want that right arm bone?"

Although Na'er also wanted the right arm soul bone, and was indeed more envious of it as a non-left-handed person, she also knew very well that the right arm soul bone would enhance the combat power of the ancient hunters more than the left arm soul bone.

Whether in daily life or in the allocation of spiritual power at the Ascension Platform, Gu Lie always took better care of Na'er.

In the fusion of the dragon power between the two, and the fusion of the three martial souls with Leng Yaozhu, Na'er could feel Gu Lie's favoritism and help even more.

Na'er wasn't the kind of fairy who could take other people's kindness for granted. She had always been thinking about how to repay Gu Lie, but now Gu Lie had taken the lead and given way to her once again. While she was touched, she couldn't help but worry about Gu Lie.

"Because when you and I merged our dragon power, the hands we held tightly were your right hand and my left hand."

"If our two arms can absorb the same type of soul bone, our dragon power fusion will be faster."

"Moreover... my martial soul is also telling me something like 'Left lightning, right fire, even the Dragon God fears me.' In short, if I choose this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Bone for my left arm, it will only bring more benefits to my martial soul."

"So, strictly speaking, Na'er, I'm planning to do something incredibly greedy..."

Gu Lie scratched his head as he explained, occasionally saying things that others couldn't understand, but he didn't say some of his explanations.

Previously, it could acquire some traits that Garchomp couldn't obtain through spirits, and in the future, it may also be able to acquire some skills that it desires but cannot obtain.

Now that he has seen the Soul Bone, he has a feeling that he can borrow a portion of the power of the Dragon-type legendary Pokémon by fusing Soul Bones of a specific attribute.

The dragon that first summoned the Ancient Hunters was Zekrom, a legendary beast representing ideals and possessing a combination of dragon and electric attributes.

As for why Zekrom would call upon the Ancient Hunter first and even make him choose the left arm soul bone, there are probably two reasons.

One reason is that he and Nar established the Dragon Force Fusion, a dreamlike fusion that originally only existed in ideals.

Another reason is that "ideals are on the left and reality is on the right." Zekrom, who represents ideals, would naturally not choose the so-called "realistic" position.

Furthermore, Zekrom's move list includes "Dragon Dance," an epic-level power-up move that Garchomp longs for, even though Garchomp also has the powerful Ground-type STAB attack that Zekrom dreams of.

Originally, Gu Lie wanted to try whether the Golden Koi could transform into a Red Dragon and thus obtain the Dragon Dance skill. If he could gain more of Zekrom's power, Gu Lie would be more confident in acquiring that skill.

Of course, this doesn't mean that after mastering that skill, he has to do an awkward dance before every battle, like the transformation of some super team members when they appear.

Ancient Hunters can fully integrate skills into their combat actions, stacking enhancements while fighting.

In addition, with the possibility of borrowing the power of divine beasts brought by the soul bones, some ancient hunters who originally thought that they had to slowly increase their level and spend a lot of time searching for necessary items to have any hope of obtaining the enhancement ability now have clearer clues.

That is a series of enhancement measures introduced by the Pokémon series:

Mega Evolution, Z-Move, Dynamax, Otto Crystal.

However, that clue left Gu Lie somewhat dumbfounded.

"It turns out that I'm supposed to forge rare metals and gems to create related items by hand."

"As for the charging of titanium crystallization, it seems that as long as I can hand-forge titanium crystal beads and fuse them with soul bones of specific attributes, or raise my cultivation level to a certain level, I can use titanium crystallization at a relatively frequent frequency."

"But in that case, the problem I'm facing right now is that my teacher won't let me learn forging, and she always uses the excuse that my body is still weak to brush me off..."

"Even without the power-boosting Mega Evolution, I am confident that I can suppress Tang Banbai with just my strength without fusing with Na'er's Dragon Power."

"What if I develop a physique like 'Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin' at my age? My teacher will think I'm too weak, right? That would be such a disaster..."

While explaining, Gu Lie couldn't help but let his mind wander.

But in Na'er and Leng Yaozhu's eyes, this was Gu Lie making another concession for Na'er. This eldest son and older brother was so sensible that it broke their hearts.

"elder brother……"

"Na'er, please accept this. Teacher will find a way to compensate Gu Lie more."

Na'er hesitated for a moment, but Leng Yaozhu simply sighed softly and accepted Gu Lie's arrangement.

The confident look in Gu Lie's eyes convinced Leng Yaozhu to trust him.

But in her opinion, Gu Lie was still at a disadvantage, and she, as his teacher and mother, had to make appropriate compensation.
