Jian Wushuang sat deep in thought .

“Emperor Fengxiao’s attainments and understandings are extremely useful to me in any case . At the very least, I have a fresh understanding of Dao . Although I cannot readily agree with some of his ideas, everyone has his own Dao just as everyone has his own path in life . ”
“I just need to draw one or two lessons from his work . I have to keep doing my own study in order to develop my own Dao based on my own ideas . ”
Without thinking further, Jian Wushuang inhaled a deep breath and took out the Soul Fruit .
“Soul Fruit . ”
A hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes as he gazed at the purple-golden fruit which gave off an enchanting fragrance .
“According to Emperor Fengxiao, this is tremendously effective at boosting one’s ‘soul’, and a person can only consume one such fruit in a lifetime . I wonder what use it has for my Sword Soul . ”
After murmuring to himself, Jian Wushuang opened his mouth and swallowed the Soul Fruit without hesitation .
Upon reaching the stomach, the Soul Fruit transformed into a strange energy and moved toward the Sword Soul in the sea of consciousness .
An incomparably sharp golden Sword Soul had been quietly floating in Jian Wushuang’s sea of consciousness . However, it clearly became excited and began to tremble frantically when the strange energy appeared . It then opened what resembled a large mouth toward the energy .
It took barely a moment for the golden Sword Soul to completely “swallow” the energy .
Jian Wushuang immediately sensed that the golden Sword Soul was changing .
“What a wonderful feeling this is . ”

He could feel that his Sword Soul was leveling up at an astonishing speed .
Though it was already very sharp and powerful to start with, its golden radiance became increasingly dazzling yet .
It took a long time before the improvement gradually ceased .
As he looked at the golden Sword Soul in his sea of consciousness, Jian Wushuang could see that it was obviously a size bigger, and also more sharp and dazzling, than before .
Just as some ideas sprang to his mind, the majestic golden Sword Soul Phantom began to rise fiercely behind him .
Boommm… the golden Sword Soul Phantom gave off a haughty, world-belittling, Supreme Sword Essence as it made its appearance . For a while, it seemed to outshine the sun .
There was a drastic change in the height and size of the golden Sword Soul Phantom that just appeared .
Originally only 18 Zhang (211 feet) tall, its height was now an impressive 24 Zhang (282 feet)!
This meant that it was comparable to several large mountains .
In Jian Wushuang’s hand appeared the Triple-kill Sword, which he flung casually toward the void ahead, aided by the majestic Sword Soul Power .
Swish!
The void unexpectedly emitted a violent wind-breaking sound, and instantly, an immaterial Sword Essence Wave swept forth with an extremely powerful momentum .

Jian Wushuang’s countenance changed and his eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise .
“Haha, my Sword Soul has greatly improved and become more powerful indeed . ”
It should be remembered that in a month’s time, the life-death duel between Jian Wushuang and Emperor Golden Snake was, as its name suggested, a fight he would either win or perish in .
Any improvement to his strength would be extremely important to him, not to mention improvement to his Sword Soul, which had such an obvious effect on his strength .
“Emperor Fengxiao has indeed given me a great gift . I must remember this favor . ”He thought to himself .
Having gained a general understanding of Dao and a drastic improvement to his Sword Soul, Jian Wushuang immediately headed toward the Holy Place .
In the Monster-exterminating Pagoda of the Holy Place .
The Monster-exterminating Pagoda was the treasure vault of the Monster-exterminating League . All kinds of countless treasures belonging to the League were stored here, and they were all purchasable so long as one could pay enough Monster Cores .
Jian Wushuang walked up to the counter .
“I need the 7th, 8th, and 9th cultivation levels of the Bone Fusion Technique . Here are the Monster Cores to exchange for them . ” Jian Wushuang took out an Interspatial Ring .
He had reaped huge earnings from the East Camp’s large war and thus could afford three levels of the technique . However, he could not afford the Monster Cores needed for Level 10 .
“Wait a second . ” A white-robed elder at the counter went into the inner hall, but stepped out shortly after and handed three Jade Slips to Jian Wushuang .

The higher cultivation levels of the Bone Fusion Technique were more expensively priced . The seventh level and above could only be separately exchanged for, and so each level was accounted for using a Jade Slip .
Jian Wushuang left the Monster-exterminating Pagoda after receiving the three levels . He then found a place to begin cultivating them .
The Bone Fusion Technique was a pure Body Reshaping Technique and was divided into 12 levels . The first couple of levels were easier to cultivate but the later ones became progressively more difficult .
It placed greatest emphasis on the body’s foundation .
Jian Wushuang’s physical strength was unparalleled, while his foundation, forged from the Heavenly Creation Skill, was all the more indestructible . It was easy to cultivate the Bone Fusion Technique from the 1st to the 6th level, such that he ran into practically no problems doing so . As for the 7th, 8th and 9th levels…
Jian Wushuang found that cultivating Level Seven was similarly easy, and he was able to do so quickly without a hitch .
However, he had some difficulty beginning from the 8th level .
It took him two days to complete the cultivation of Level Eight .
Among the 12 levels of the Bone Fusion Technique, every four levels constituted a volume . The 8th level was only a part of the middle volume, whereas the 9th was a part of the lower volume, which once cultivated would cause one’s body to undergo a qualitative metamorphosis, and was more difficult .
Half a month passed .
This was the time it took for Jian Wushuang to cultivate Level Nine of the Bone Fusion Technique .
In an uncared-for mountain forest outside the Holy Place, Jian Wushuang was standing half-naked under the scorching sun . Just then, his right hand clenched forcefully, and an explosive force formed in it . At the same time, his joints began to make a crackling noise .
“Hua!”
With a groan, the fist, which had been gathering strength, smashed directly toward the void ahead .
Boom!
The world shook . The void, having been violently struck, turned into a storm .
Jian Wushuang’s eyes glimmered upon witnessing this scene .
“My body strength… is at least four times greater than it was!”
This was the result of cultivating Level Nine of the Bone Fusion Technique .
Not only did the strength of his body increase, but more importantly, its tenacity increased all the more absurdly . Rather than the effectiveness of the Bone Fusion Technique, this could be attributed to a greater extent to the fact that Jian Wushuang’s body foundation was too vigorous .
It should be known that among the many Divine Emperors of the Monster-exterminating League, only three had cultivated Level Nine of the Bone Fusion Technique, whereas most of them had only cultivated up to Level Eight .
Even the Temple Masters of the League mostly remained at Level Nine .
Yet, despite being only a Saint Realm expert, Jian Wushuang had managed to cultivate said Level .
“I’m starting to look forward to the life-death duel with Emperor Golden Snake . ” Jian Wushuang squinted his eyes, within which a hint of battle intent rose .
