Chapter 35: Chapter 34 : Skull Bone

The Devil Ape is about 1.7 meters tall, like the height of a grown man. They have long arms that can touch the ground.

Different from other primates, the Devil Ape has no fur on its entire body, allowing these Spirit Beasts to reveal their gray skin.

Of course, even without the furs, their defense was very strong. Moreover, accompanied by their ability, Devil Skin, makes their defense almost close to the Extreme Defense Attribute.

Even though Devil Skins were just their Skills, it didn't mean that their attack and speed were very weak. Because their innate Physical Power already make up for their lack of skills!

...

CLANG CLANG CLANG!

The attacks from Xiao Xiao's claws didn't work at all, but they were enough to distract the Devil Ape!

ROAAR!

The Devil Ape that was being entangled by the Wood Release instantly used its Physical Power to break free and tried to attack Xiao Xiao!

CRACK CRACK CRACK!

Indeed, Lin Fan's Wood Release was still weak, as he was currently still at Rank 12. But of course, it had already slowed down the Devil Ape's movements!

`Now!`

Seeing that the Devil Ape was distracted, Lin Fan rushed over to this beast quickly, then punched him in the ribs!

BOOM!

ROAAR!

The Devil Ape screamed in pain and vomited blood, then it fell to the ground!

Even though this Spirit Beast is very smart, it is still 600 years old, which makes its intelligence very limited. 

After receiving Lin Fan's attack, the Devil Ape's body began to weaken, and it no longer had the strength to fight.

All of Lin Fan's attacks always hit his weak points, making this Spirit Beast always in pain when fighting, which resulted in quickly draining energy.

Quickly, Lin Fan immediately approached the Devil Ape, and said "You are indeed strong, and thank you for being my fighting partner".

Then Lin Fan hit the Devil Ape's head, which made this Spirit Beast instantly die.

From the corpse of the Devil Ape, slowly emerged a Yellow Spirit Ring, which then approached Lin Fan's body.

Of course Lin Fan wouldn't make this Spirit Ring for himself, but that didn't mean he wouldn't absorb it, because the Spirit Ring was basically just Essence!

Spirit Masters can absorb Spirit Rings even if they only make it as an ordinary Essence, but of course there is a condition, which is that they must cultivate using the Heavens Path Divine Art!

With the Heavens Path Divine Art, the Spirit Ring could be refined into a kind of Essence to increase one's cultivation, even increasing the age of the Spirit Ring. 

Lin Fan immediately crossed his legs and circulated the Heavens Path Divine Art, which then processed the Devil Ape's Spirit Ring into a kind of Essence, which then increased his cultivation.

WOOSHH

A 600 year old Spirit Ring, naturally this is very small for Lin Fan. But he didn't want to be picky when he could increase his cultivation a little.

And in just a few minutes, Lin Fan had already absorbed the Spirit Ring!

"My cultivation has increased slightly, and it seems that after cultivating into Heaven's Path Spirit Essence, the Spirit Ring only provides energy equivalent to 60 years of Spirit Beast cultivation," said Lin Fan.

After absorbing the Spirit Ring, Lin Fan saw a gray light appear on the head of the corpse Devil Ape.

Lin Fan knew that it was the Devil Ape's Spirit Bone!

«Devil Mind Skull Bone»

• Spirit Beast : Devil Ape (600 Years)

• Spirit Bone : Skull Bone

• Abilities: Devil Skin - Increases defense to 100%, improves mind and thinking abilities, contains the Strength of Devil Ape

——————————

Skull Bones!

Basically, the best Skull Bone is the one that has the effect of increasing mind power, because its position is right on the head or the part where Spiritual Consciousness is located.

This Devil Mind Skull Bone can indeed be said to be the best, because its effect is able to increase the ability to think, which even gives a Skill called Devil Skin.

Even though this was only from a 600 year old Spirit Beast, Lin Fan was able to increase this age by using the Heavens Path Body Art!

Of course, Lin Fan had to absorb this Spirit Bone first before the age could be increased.

Then, will Lin Fan absorb this Skull Bone?

"This Skull Bone, might be more suitable for Xiao Xiao" said Lin Fan.

That's right, Lin Fan wanted Xiao Xiao to absorb the Devil Mind Skull Bone!

Keep in mind, not only Spirit Masters, but Spirit Beasts can also absorb Spirit Bone. Of course there are other conditions, by having the same body parts as the Spirit Master.

The Skull Bone itself is a special Spirit Bone for the head, which almost all Spirit Beasts can absorb.bAnd sure enough, Xiao Xiao could definitely absorb that Devil Mind Skull Bone!

Xiao Xiao was a weak Holy Beast, and only had an advantage in speed. Her defense was very weak, making Lin Fan worried that she would die if hit by an enemy attack. Therefore, the Devil Mind Skull Bone was perfect for Xiao Xiao's current state!

"Come here, Xiao Xiao," Lin Fan ordered.

Xiao Xiao walked over to Lin Fan, and then sat across from him.

Lin Fan directly placed the Devil Mind Skull Bone onto Xiao Xiao's head, then he circulated the Heavens Path Divine Art to aid the absorption process.

The Devil Mind Skull Bone slowly began to fade, and fused with Xiao Xiao's head, which then gave off a gray glow. However, after a while, the gray light began to fade, and was replaced with a blackish gold light!

WOOSHH

Lin Fan could see that the Devil Mind Skull Bone was perfectly fused, which was even strengthened by Heaven's Path Spirit Essence and Holy Beast Bloodline!

SHUAA

—————————— 

«Xiao Xiao»

• Gender : Female

• Species : Pure Cat (Holy Beast)

• Age : 200 Years

• Attribute: Extreme Speed

• Bloodline : Pure Cat Bloodline (100%)

• Spirit Bones : Devil Mind Skull Bone (600 Years)

• Skill : Golden Flash

——————————

——————————

«Golden Flash»

Spirit Skill derived from Devil Skin, enhanced by Heavens Path Spirit Essence and Pure Cat Bloodline.

This skill increases Strength, Defense and Speed by 100%.

——————————

"Oh? It seems to be mutated" said an interested Lin Fan.

Devil Mind Skull Bone only grants a Skill called Devil Skin, which only gives a 100% increase in defense. However, this Spirit Bone also contains the physical strength of the Devil Ape, so anyone who absorbs it will increase their physical strength as well.

But Lin Fan didn't expect this Skill to mutate which made the Devil Ape's Strength, Devil Skin's Skill, and Pure Cat Bloodline fuse together and create a quite shocking Skill, called Golden Flash!

And it's true, the ability of a Spirit Bone is usually very dependent on the ability that will absorb it!

"Xiao Xiao, you are very lucky today" said Lin Fan with a smile.

Seeing the new ability that Xiao Xiao had acquired, Lin Fan became very excited to get another Spirit Bone.

Of course, Lin Fan believed that 90% of the Spirit Beasts he killed would definitely produce Spirit Bones, because he could use certain methods!

There was indeed a unique thing that Lin Fan used against the Devil Ape, in which he not only attacked his weak points, but also stimulated the Devil Ape's Blood Essence.

According to the Library of Heavens Path, all Spirit Beasts have the opportunity to produce Spirit Bone. Of course, this was extremely rare, especially for Spirit Beasts under 100,000 years old.

But it turns out that the Library of Heavens Path has a way of making Spirit Beasts always produce Spirit Bone, by stimulating their Blood Essence to reach its peak, which then collects and condenses in some part of their body!

Of course, Lin Fan wouldn't start massacring Spirit Beasts, as it would cause their population to decline and possibly become extinct. So, he would only hunt down the Evil Spirit Beasts that were always destroying the forest ecosystem.

"Let's explore this forest a little deeper," said Lin Fan.

...

1 month later.

Lin Fan is currently cross-legged under a tree, he seems to be cultivating. Meanwhile Xiao Xiao was watching from the top of the tree, to see if there  was any impending danger or not.

Over the course of a month, Lin Fan had honed all his abilities, even the ability to use Wood Release became more proficient.

Right now, Lin Fan's cultivation was still at Rank 12. Because he wasn't focused on quickly increasing his cultivation. However, the cultivation of the Golden Lotus had already reached 9,000 years!

Lin Fan firmly believed that strengthening his abilities would strengthen his foundation as well. And indeed as expected, every time Golden Lotus's cultivation increased, his Heaven's Path Spirit Essence grew thicker than before!

The thicker it is, the more Spirit Essence is stored. That means, Lin Fan can fight even longer!

Keep in mind, the quality of the Spirit Ring can strengthen the foundation of a Spirit Master!

Apart from Lin Fan, Xiao Xiao's growth was quite surprising. The change is enormous, from her cultivation and temperament!

After obtaining the Devil Mind Skull Bone, Xiao Xiao has become more intelligent than before, which makes this cat even more cunning against her enemies. Moreover, with Lin Fan's help, Xiao Xiao's Skull Bone had already reached the age of 9,000 years!

And what was even more surprising was Xiao Xiao's cultivation, which was able to reach 9,000 years of age within 1 month!

Of course it was all due to the help of Lin Fan, who always increased Xiao Xiao's cultivation unsparingly. Because, apart from obtaining the Heavens Path Divine Art, she also obtained the Essence from the Spirit Ring!
