He then smiled at Nya Poto: "What kind of beast is the owner of this core?"

Nya Poto smiled as she faced Mo Xie and replied: "That's a Spectral Fiend Liger."

Mo Xie nods his head: "Good name."

As he spoke, he immediately returned to infusing the core with his soul sea.

Usually, it wouldn't last for more than an hour, which is what Mo Xie thought.

Mo Xie had been sitting in a lotus position, his soul sea that should be able to house two types of beast cores is almost completely occupied by a single core.

This caused Mo Xie to be in great shock, and yet, the core is only half empty.

Only part of the Magical Beast core had been infused with his soul sea: "To think that I'd need to wait till I reach Immortal Foundation rank to digest the whole core."

A solemn smile appeared on his face.

Nya Poto chuckles: "Oh? You've actually managed to infuse with a tenth of the core's power?"

Mo Xie chuckles: "Who said about a tenth."

Nya Poto's eyes widened: "Then..."

"Half." Mo Xie spoke with confidence, he knew his soul sea is extraordinary, he used it to his advantage.

Nya Poto couldn't help but look at Mo Xie in shock, but the latter ignored it and activated his soul sea.

Swish~!

The wind around Mo Xie became intense as a wave around him scattered everywhere. Mo Xie's physical appearance changed. His body remained the same, but he immediately had a few pieces of armor on his body.

Black pieces of armor on his left hand, his two feet, and a helmet like a hood covering Mo Xie's shoulder and back all the way to the back of his knees. It has some silver linings on them with the back edges having short blades great for slas.h.i.+ng with his elbow and piercing with his knees.

His head completely covered other than his eyes, then, there's a large ring behind him with three symbols continuously rotating.

He looked at his hand and feet and smiled: "Now, this is something worthy of me."

Nya Poto frowns but didn't comment.

Mo Xie immediately went straight to Nya Poto's shed bone: "Now then, let's do this."

He sat down and took out a brush and ink and started scribbling on the whole bone. Nya Poto felt curious and took a peek. She didn't understand a single bit of it.

After just a while, Mo Xie slit off his wrist and bathed it with blood as he infused spiritual energy on it.

After finis.h.i.+ng the process, Mo Xie smiled: "Let's begin."

When he finished speaking, the scribblings on the bones light in red color. Nya Poto opened her eyes wide in order to witness the process of whatever Mo Xie's planning.

But after a while, she couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Mo Xie smiled: "Well, I'm making this thing softer, it couldn't be done on a living organizm, but softening the bones of a dead body part is completely different."

As he spoke, he took out the mace that he used earlier.

Nya Poto asked: "Will it work this time?"

Mo Xie chuckles: "Well..."

He didn't even need to continue.

Tug~ Tug~ 

Just with the mace normally being pounded without exerting much force actually caused the bone to collapse.

Nya Poto couldn't believe what she's seeing, after all, her previous bone is stronger than white mithril, it could even be said to have the toughest material under Level 4 Magical Beast's bones and Divine Steels.

Mo Xie smiled but ignored Nya Poto's reaction and continuously pounded the bone.

After half an hour, the bone finally became something like a powder.

"What are you going to do with it?" Nya Poto asked.

Mo Xie took all of the bone powder and smiled: "I'll drink it too."

As he spoke, he took out a cup and poured the powder on it: "It would be nice if I could drink something like this with wine."

"Alas... I can only taste it with water this time."

When he finished speaking, he mixed the powder with the water and immediately drank it. "Protect me until I'm done."

Nya Poto didn't reply but merely spectated.

Mo Xie chuckles as he sat in a lotus position and started to digest the bone powder's essence.

It became visible at that moment for Nya Poto, Mo Xie's body started to have b.u.mps in it, the muscles started to move, like a tumor continuously trembling.

Nya Poto seeing this couldn't help but muse: "Humans are tricksters, but there's also one thing they are known for, they do whatever they can to reach the apex, a group of human ascending as G.o.ds... would this person be someone like that too?"

Time quickly pa.s.sed, a week, a month, a year.

When it is at the 2nd month of the next year, Mo Xie's body started to calm down at a visible rate, Nya Poto couldn't help but view Mo Xie differently.

She's looking at him yet, what she could see is definitely strange, a Sky Shattering ranked expert, but with a mysterious kind of strength!

Mo Xie stood up from his seat, removing the vines and dust from his body, "Now, lastly, a hundred drops of blood."

Nya Poto couldn't help but felt shaken, it wasn't even two years yet, Mo Xie's strength had grown tremendously from their first meeting, she really wanted to rip open the latter's head and dig into all of his secrets.

She even thought that if this continued and the boy surpa.s.ses her, wouldn't it be a greatly missed opportunity?

As she thought of this, she sighed; 'At least we're partners, for now, if one does not violate anything, then one will benefit from the other.'

She p.r.i.c.ked her finger with her nail and concentrated a hundred drops of her blood into that finger.

Mo Xie prepared a cup to receive the blood.

Tap!

As soon as a single drop of blood landed on the cup,  Nya Poto felt a bit of a heartache, each drop would take at least a few months to regain, yet, she's giving up a hundred of them.

When the hundredth drop of blood landed on the cup, Nya Poto spoke: "There, nothing more, nothing less."

Mo Xie smiled: "I don't know how long a single drop will last, but if my time exceeds five years..."

Nya Poto waved her fluffy hand: "Don't worry about that time, we're already partners that will benefit from each other."

Mo Xie chuckles, he then tapped the tip of his finger on the blood taking exactly one drop of blood from it and placing it on his tongue.

Gulp~

With a swallow, Mo Xie sat again in a lotus position, but he couldn't even start to meditate as the powerful blood a.s.saulted him internally. Mo Xie's eyes grew wide but he smiled: "The heck, this is too powerful!"

A single drop of bloodline essence of a Magical Beast contains its very foundation, it's like taking its ancestry, becoming part of the lineage itself.
