Chapter 221: Zhu Zhuqing’s external Spirit Bone · Shadow Cat Claws
agility-attack systemSpirit Masters value explosive power and restriction capabilities most.
Zhu Zhuqing’s Third Spirit Ability not only has extreme destructive power but also carries erosion and all-attribute weakening effects.
Especially in a duel of the same Rank, a percentage-based all-attribute weakening is enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
Ning Rongrong said excitedly, "Zhuqing, with this Spirit Ability, the next time you encounter that Big Lustful TigerDai Mubai, let’s see if he still dares to be so arrogant in front of you!"
The corner of Zhu Zhuqing’s mouth curled slightly.
Her eyes flickered, and a strong Battle Intent surged within her heart.
She turned her head to look at Lin Qingmo, gratitude showing in the depths of her eyes.
If it weren’t for him, she would never have been able to absorb this 3,500-year spirit ring.
It was him, breaking her limits time and again, making her stronger and stronger.
Giving her the confidence to break free from the shackles of fate that bound her.
She kept this kindness in her heart, never to be forgotten.
Lin Qingmo met her gaze, his lips curling slightly as he said softly, "Congratulations, this Spirit Ability suits you well."
"Thank you, A-Qing."
Zhu Zhuqing’s voice was very soft, yet exceptionally sincere.
...
Night fell.
A campfire rose in the woods.
The dancing flames dispelled the darkness and chill of the forest.
Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, and the others gathered around the campfire, chatting away.
Dugu Yan leaned against a tree, wiping her gauntlets, chiming in with a few words from time to time.
Liu Erlong rested with her eyes closed at the entrance of the tent, yet remained alert to her surroundings.
Zhu Zhuqing did not stay by the campfire.
She looked at Lin Qingmo’s camp tent not far away.
Her fingertips curled slightly, her heart racing like a rabbit, thumping incessantly.
There were many people during the day, so it wasn’t easy to say too many words of thanks.
Now that it was late and everyone was by the campfire, she finally had the chance to go and thank him alone.
There was also one more thing she didn’t know how to tell him.
While absorbing the spirit ring, besides the spirit ring energy, she also felt a cool, sharp energy merging into her right hand along with the spirit ring.
That energy was very gentle and had a high degree of compatibility with her Hell Civet Spirit, as if it were naturally meant for her.
She didn’t know what it was, only that it might be very precious.
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuqing tidied her clothes and walked toward Lin Qingmo’s tent.
The tent curtain wasn’t tightly drawn, leaving a gap through which a faint light shone.
Zhu Zhuqing stood at the tent entrance, hesitating.
"Come in."
Lin Qingmo’s voice came from inside.
"..."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing lifted the curtain and walked in.
The tent was very simple, with only a basic bed.
Lin Qingmo withdrew from his meditation state.
"Why haven’t you gone to rest yet?"
Zhu Zhuqing walked up to him, stood still, looked into his eyes, and said softly:
"A-Qing, I want to solemnly thank you."
"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to absorb that spirit ring, nor would I have become this strong."
"Why are you being so polite with me?"
Lin Qingmo smiled.
"That spirit ring was the most suitable for you to begin with."
"However, you didn’t come specifically to find me just to say thanks, did you?"
He felt that Zhu Zhuqing had something else on her mind.
He had indeed guessed correctly.
Zhu Zhuqing’s fingertips lightly gripped the corner of her clothes. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke.
"There’s one more thing, I don’t know how to tell you."
"When I was absorbing the spirit ring, besides the spirit ring energy, I seem to have absorbed something else."
Lin Qingmo’s movements paused, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Something else? What do you mean?"
"I can’t explain it clearly either."
Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip and raised her right hand.
"When I was absorbing the spirit ring, a very cool energy with a sharp aura merged into my right hand."
"I can feel its existence, and... I seem to be able to activate it."
As she finished speaking, the spirit power within Zhu Zhuqing’s body surged quietly.
Suddenly, pitch-black sharp claws sprang from her right hand.
They were longer and sharper than the claw blades when she usually released her Spirit, carrying a faint black halo and a subtle fluctuation of spirit power.
The edges of the claws glinted with a cold light; just looking at them, one could feel a sharpness capable of tearing through steel.
Lin Qingmo’s pupils contracted slightly as he looked at the black claws on her right hand.
A look of surprise appeared on his face.
external Spirit Bone!
He really hadn’t expected that the thousand-year Shadow Cat Beast would actually drop an external Spirit Bone.
external Spirit Bones.
They are the rarest type among all Spirit Bones.
In a sense, they are even more precious than a 100,000 yearsspirit ring or Spirit Bone.
Not only can they bring powerful attribute bonuses and exclusive effects.
But they can also grow continuously with the Spirit Master, possessing infinite potential.
In the entire Spirit Master’s world, Spirit Masters who possess an external Spirit Bone are one in ten thousand.
Moreover, this external Spirit Bone was a feline claw-type Spirit Bone, which had a high compatibility with Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Civet Spirit.
"A-Qing? What exactly is this thing?"
Seeing his surprised expression, Zhu Zhuqing felt a bit uneasy.
She withdrew her spirit power, and the sharp claws disappeared.
"Will it have any effect on me?"
"No."
Lin Qingmo snapped back to his senses, looked at her, and said in a serious tone, "Zhuqing, this is an external Spirit Bone, and a claw-type external Spirit Bone that perfectly matches your Spirit."
"Its value is comparable to a 100,000 yearsspirit ring and Spirit Bone."
"100,000 years?!"
Zhu Zhuqing’s pupils suddenly contracted, her face filled with disbelief.
She naturally knew what a 100,000 yearsspirit ring and Spirit Bone meant.
They were treasures that every Spirit Master in the entire Spirit Master’s world dreamed of.
She actually unexpectedly obtained an external Spirit Bone comparable to a 100,000 yearsSpirit Bone while absorbing a 3,500-year spirit ring?
"That’s right."
Lin Qingmo nodded and continued, "The greatest characteristic of an external Spirit Bone is that it does not occupy the positions of the six major Spirit Bones and can grow continuously as you improve."
"Moreover, this Spirit Bone perfectly matches your Hell Civet Spirit, allowing you to maximize your agility-attack system advantages."
He paused, his tone becoming a bit more serious: "But you must remember, before you have completely fused with this external Spirit Bone, you absolutely must not easily reveal its existence in front of anyone."
"external Spirit Bones are too rare. Once outsiders find out, it will inevitably lead to fatal trouble."
"Even with those around you, you must be cautious."
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Zhu Zhuqing nodded vigorously.
She naturally understood the principle that ’possessing a treasure is a crime.’
If such a precious thing were known by people with ill intentions.
It would not only bring trouble to herself but would also implicate Lin Qingmo and the others.
Zhu Zhuqing pursed her lips: "A-Qing, this external Spirit Bone should belong to you."
Lin Qingmo was stunned for a moment: "Hmm?"
"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to get this spirit ring, let alone this external Spirit Bone."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at him, her eyes exceptionally firm.
"Such a precious thing should belong to you; I can’t take it."
She truly thought so.
From beginning to end, it was Lin Qingmo who had been helping her.
He gave the Whale Glue, he caught the Spirit Beast, and he was the one who let her absorb it.
Even while absorbing it, he was the one protecting her by her side.
In Zhu Zhuqing’s heart, this external Spirit Bone originally should have belonged to him.
