"Moreover, my external soul bone and the 100,000-year torso bone both underwent some changes during the absorption process."
"What changes?"
Fire Wu smiled playfully, quite proud of herself, and said, "Under the guidance of the Phoenix Bone Wings, the bones of my upper body connected to form a whole, allowing soul bone energy to flow freely within it.
Not only that, but the 100,000-year Azure Mist Torso Bone, influenced by the Phoenix Bone Wings, transformed into a 200,000-year Azure Mist Phoenix Torso Bone.
Whether it's the age, quality, or bloodline level, all have undergone fundamental breakthroughs."
"Azure Mist Phoenix?"
Quan Yi asked curiously, "Can you release the Phoenix Bone Wings? I'd like to observe them more closely."
Fire Wu nodded in response.
"Whoosh!"
However, what surprised Quan Yi even more was that a deep red, golden-patterned armor appeared on Fire Wu's upper body, enveloping her torso.
The armor had smooth curves, closely following Fire Wu's body contours. Quan Yi moved closer to take a closer look, noticing that the armor even changed with Fire Wu's body movements.
Moreover, this armor exuded the same aura as the Phoenix Bone Wings, with golden patterns all over faintly glowing. They were like golden blood vessels, connected to the base of the bone wings.
"What exactly is this?"
Fire Wu exclaimed in surprise, even more astonished than Quan Yi herself.
"Don't worry, this is a Phoenix Bone Armor composed of soul bones, it's part of your body.
Can you describe how you feel now?"
Fire Wu felt her body, and indeed, as Quan Yi said, just like the Phoenix Bone Wings, her perception could extend to the bone armor.
"You're right, it did spread out from the torso bone. I feel that in this state, the Phoenix Bone Wings and the torso bone mutually enhance each other, making the power of the soul bones stronger, but the consumption is lower."
Hearing Fire Wu's feelings, Quan Yi pondered and said:
"It actually changed the bloodline of the soul bone. This looks a bit different from the soul bone fusion skill I know."
Fire Wu asked curiously, "What is a soul bone fusion skill?"
Quan Yi explained, "It's a realm that's almost impossible to achieve.
Simply put, it's an additional skill produced after the fusion of one's own soul bones. Generally speaking, the amplification effect of a soul bone fusion skill on oneself is extremely powerful.
And because it's a skill produced by one's own soul bones, the degree of fusion can reach over 70 percent.
You should be very clear about what that number represents."
Fire Wu nodded repeatedly. Martial Soul fusion skills also place great importance on the degree of fusion. The higher the degree of fusion, the stronger the power of the fusion skill.
Fire Wu herself had a deep understanding of this.
At the beginning, the Martial Soul fusion degree between Quan Yi and Fire Wu was only barely around 70 percent.
Moreover, as the strength and familiarity between the two increased, the fusion degree also increased a lot.
However, midway through, due to Quan Yi's Martial Soul evolution, the fusion degree between the two almost fell below 70 percent.
This was because Fire Wu's Martial Soul level couldn't keep up with Quan Yi's Martial Soul.
Martial Soul fusion skills that emphasize mutual complementation cease to be complementary when the gap between the two soul masters widens.
However, due to the dominance of Quan Yi's ultimate fire, the power actually became stronger after the fusion degree decreased.
Later, when Fire Wu's Martial Soul also evolved into ultimate fire, the fusion degree between the two soared to over 90 percent.
And when it came to the Dragon Phoenix Goddess, the fusion degree even reached a terrifying 99 percent.
The Dragon Phoenix Goddess's ability to have such powerful power, apart from Quan Yi and Fire Wu's own strength, was also largely influenced by the degree of fusion.
Knowing this, Fire Wu, of course, knew the importance of the degree of fusion.
However, she had never heard of soul bones being able to fuse before.
"Since it's so powerful, why haven't I heard of this thing?" Fire Wu tilted her head in confusion.
"Haha, although this soul bone fusion skill is strong, the biggest prerequisite for achieving it is to collect all six soul bones.
And one's own six soul bones must come from the same kind of soul beast.
As far as I know, only the Spirit Hall possesses such inherited soul bones.
However, your situation is a bit different.
This is a soul bone assimilation initiated and dominated by an external soul bone. It's not a true soul bone fusion skill yet."
Fire Wu was very disappointed after hearing this, and muttered in a low voice, "Ah, does that mean I have to continue to find five other Azure Mist Albatross soul bones from other parts of the body?
But, how is that possible."
Not to mention that the Azure Mist Albatross population is very small, even if five soul bones really dropped, it would be impossible to collect different parts of the body.
Quan Yi ruffled Fire Wu's hair and replied, "It's not entirely impossible either."
Fire Wu looked at Quan Yi in surprise.
Quan Yi smiled and explained, "Your Phoenix Bone Wings showed extraordinary assimilation during the sacrifice process.
To be honest, I've had a similar experience myself.
The first time I observed the Fire Dragon King's torso bone up close, I felt the agitation of soul bones all over my body.
Combining this observation, I think that might be the assimilation effect of higher-level True Dragon energy on other lower-level soul beasts.
Now that I think about it, if I had chosen to absorb the Fire Dragon King's torso bone at that time, there's a high probability that the transformation of the god-level soul bone would have caused the assimilation of soul bones all over my body.
In other words, without collecting a complete set of the same kind of soul bones, it's also possible to meet the conditions for using soul bone fusion skills through assimilation.
In fact, you have already completed the soul bone fusion between the external soul bone and the torso bone. This is the most reliable evidence.
Wife, your Phoenix Bone Wings are an external soul bone that can continue to evolve, and the Phoenix bloodline is no weaker than the True Dragon.
In the future, if the strength of the Phoenix Bone Wings is increased to the god level, perhaps it can also achieve the assimilation of soul bones all over the body."
After listening to the explanation, Fire Wu's eyes lit up again.
"Are you saying that you didn't absorb it immediately at that time for the sake of soul bone fusion skills?"
Quan Yi's deep thoughts once again shocked Fire Wu.
Seeing Fire Wu thinking like this, Quan Yi quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, I only thought of this after seeing this soul bone fusion and assimilation.
At that time, I simply wanted to use the power of the god-level soul bone to enhance other soul bones.
After all, unlike external soul bones, it's extremely difficult for soul bones in the main bone positions to evolve. If there's a possibility of improvement, of course, you have to make good use of it.
Okay, let's leave it at that for now. After all, it's just my own speculation, and we don't have to be too obsessed with it.
I'm lucky to get it, and it's my fate to lose it.
With our talent, we can still become stronger even without these."
Quan Yi didn't want Fire Wu to be preoccupied with gains and losses because of this.
"Yeah, I understand."
Fire Wu knew Quan Yi's good intentions and immediately responded to Quan Yi.
"By the way, I was so busy analyzing soul bone fusion that I forgot to ask about more important things."
