Chapter 172: Ah Yin: Is That Really How You're Supposed to Use This Spirit Bone?
The world's top healer, Ye Lingling of the Nine Hearts Begonia.
And alongside her were Shi Mo and Shi Mo of the Black Tortoise martial soul.
Their martial souls were incredibly powerful, and their losses were simply due to the overwhelming gap in spirit power.
If they were all Spirit Elders, the Emperor Dou Team might not necessarily lose.
Kong opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back.
The Emperor Dou Team was strong, yet the Spirit Hall Team and the Star Luo Team were even stronger; losing was almost inevitable.
You all are the most promising generation, but aren't they too?
The Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall was the most powerful in a century.
Born at the wrong time, their efforts would be in vain.
"Mm, keep up the good work!" Kong said with a smile, though there was a hint of awkwardness in it. Luckily, no one noticed and thought he was sincerely cheering them on!
If Dugu Yan hadn't left the Emperor Dou Team, they might have had a real shot at the championship. Even if they didn't win, they would have at least secured a spot in the top two.
Dugu Yan was a formidable Spirit King with both attack and "control" abilities, and her spirit power level had already reached 56.
The reason, of course, was the spirit bone Kong had gifted to Dugu Bo, who then passed it to Dugu Yan, telling her it was a gift from Kong.
Kong: "…"
Dugu Bo had been delighted upon receiving the spirit bone.
After joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he hadn't even done anything yet, and that kid Kong had already gifted him a spirit bone.
After some consideration, Dugu Bo passed the spirit bone back to Kong. In his eyes, Kong was practically his future grandson-in-law, and he gladly accepted any gift from him!
Yu Yuanzhen, having fused with the torso and right arm spirit bones, saw a slight increase in his spirit power but did not break through.
If breaking from level 98 to 99 were that simple, Golden Crocodile Douluo wouldn't have been stuck at level 98 for so many years.
The Spirit Hall, with its long heritage, may not have hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, but it still had no shortage of high-level ten-thousand-year spirit bones.
Breaking from level 98 to 99 isn't as simple as fusing a few high-level ten-thousand-year spirit bones.
Even with hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, it would take at least four to have any hope of breaking from 98 to 99.
This is why Yu Yuanzhen refused the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape right arm spirit bone.
Absorbing this bone, or not, would only add a couple of spirit bone abilities at best.
Of course, if it were a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone from an sub-dragon or true dragon, it might really help him take another step forward!
In the original story, Tang San broke from level 98 to 99 because he absorbed the spirit ring and spirit bone of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's cultivation was immense, around 950,000 years!
Its power was far greater than that of even the Supreme Douluo because its body was akin to a divine body, with nearly ninety percent of its spirit power converted to divine power!
If it weren't for plot armor, Tang San would have stood no chance of defeating the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!
If levels 99 to 100 were further divided into pseudo-demigod, demigod, and quasi-god stages,
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's strength would be at the peak of the quasi-god level. Unless all three Supreme Douluos or a deity descended, it would be almost invincible on the Douluo Continent, especially in the ocean!
After chatting with Yu Tianheng and the others for a bit, Kong bid them farewell. The Emperor Dou Team's members hadn't changed, and it would be difficult for Tang San and his team to replace them, given that the original members of the Emperor Dou Team were no pushovers.
Without the assistance of immortal herbs, Tang San and his team still had a significant spirit power gap compared to Yu Tianheng and the others, making it difficult to catch up in the short term.
Meng Shenji and others didn't believe Tang San's team had the ability to replace the Emperor Dou Team's members and planned to let them join the Emperor Dou Second Team when the tournament started, either as formal members or substitutes.
Back at the hotel, Kong didn't head to the Pure Heart Garden. He planned to take some time to rest and recuperate.
Suddenly, Kong murmured, "Wait, doesn't the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone have healing abilities?" Just as he was about to lie down, a thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes lit up with a golden gleam.
Ah Yin: "..."
"Is that really how you're supposed to use this spirit bone?"
"This... should count as an injury, right?"
Kong was uncertain, but he wanted to try anyway—what if the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone could heal this kind of injury?
If it could indeed restore such injuries, even if he couldn't beat Ei, he wouldn't have to fear her! With this thought, Kong hesitated no longer. Sitting cross-legged, he took out the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone and positioned it on his right leg.
The moment the spirit bone appeared, it triggered a minor spirit power storm; after all, this was a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone! Luckily, Kong acted quickly, and in mere moments, he converted it into energy, absorbing it into his right leg, after which the spirit power storm dissipated.
Kong then began absorbing the energy of the spirit bone.
Honestly, this spirit bone didn't really align with Kong's attributes.
Among the hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, this one's effects were rather mediocre—a resource with limited value that was hard to just throw away.
Even the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit right arm spirit bone was far more useful.
Invincibility, teleportation.
Both were practically divine skills.
But the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone?
Flight and a passive healing ability.
It seemed rather weak in comparison.
At first, Kong hadn't planned to absorb this spirit bone. He already had an external spirit bone that allowed him to fly.
Healing injuries?
As long as he was strong enough not to get hurt, he wouldn't need healing.
This confidence was a testament to his belief in his own strength.
"Love really is a double-edged sword… In the end, I couldn't resist it…"
There was no other choice—he could only hope the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone would be powerful enough to heal his injuries! Besides, the right leg spirit bone was one of the least essential among the six standard spirit bones, as it offered the smallest boost to a spirit master, sometimes even less than a left leg spirit bone.
The hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone was already decent enough.
As time passed, Kong opened his eyes again, a glimmer of joy flashing within them.
Then, a smirk appeared on his face!
"As expected, this hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone can indeed heal this kind of injury!"
In that moment, the pale-faced Kong, who had dark circles under his eyes, was gone; he looked lively and full of spirit.
"Hahaha, what a pleasant surprise!"
If he had known this spirit bone was so "powerful," he wouldn't have hesitated—he would have absorbed it the moment he got it, instead of waiting until now!
"I laugh with pride, once again with pride…"
Humming a tune with a satisfied grin, Kong strode straight to the Pure Heart Garden without another word—he was ready for "revenge"!
"Beelzebub, today it's either you or me!"
