“A treasure like this cannot be used by just anyone . Firstly, I’m not one of the Bone . And secondly, I don’t know any of the Ghost Bone Techniques . How am I supposed to control one of these Ghost Bone Masks?” Han Sen asked, staring quizzically at the Ghost Bone Masks upon the wall .
Using powers that were beyond his control didn’t sound like a very good idea, and the last thing Han Sen wanted to do was take more risks .
“Do not worry; I can teach you Ghost Bone Techniques . As a Duke, you should be able to control these Ghost Bone Masks . ” Fox Queen went silent for a moment, then said, “But those techniques are some of the strongest skills created by Ghost Bone . They are very difficult to practice . I don’t know if you will be able to finish practicing a Ghost Bone Technique before the xenogeneic grows too powerful to beat . If you take too long, it might very well end up as a half-deified creature . Fighting it then would be pointless, even if you did have the Ghost Bone Techniques . While the masks are also half-deified, they’d be far inferior to that monster . After all, the creature is a scion of White Bone Hell itself . It is not a normal being . ”
“So the Ghost Bone Techniques can be practiced by people who are not Bone themselves?” Han Sen asked with a frown .
“Any race with bones inside their bodies are able to practice these techniques . After they turn their bones into ghost bones, their powers will grow . Furthermore, they develop resistance to dark elements . But…” Fox Queen trailed off .
“But what?” Han Sen asked .
“But when the practitioner’s bones become ghost bones, their light element gene powers erode . ” Fox Queen shook her head slowly . “But you have no choice . If you do not wish to die, then this is the only thing you can do . Any problem that it causes with holy powers is a concern for later . ”
Han Sen eyed the Ghost Bone Masks, but he did not speak . He hesitated for a minute, then grabbed one of the Ghost Bone Masks .
“Don’t touch it!” Fox Queen said, but she didn’t actually move to stop him .
Han Sen ignored her as he gathered up power . He grabbed the Ghost Bone Mask and felt a cold power emanating from the thing . A sudden force sent Han Sen flying . He slammed into the wall behind him, and the impact was so powerful that he found himself wheezing .

“I did tell you not to touch it . Until you practice Ghost Bone Techniques, there is no chance that the Ghost Bone Masks will give you their approval . You are lucky that it did not kill you outright,” Fox Queen muttered grumpily .
“These things are obscenely strong . ” Han Sen got back to his feet and looked back at the Ghost Bone Mask with new respect .
“Of course . The masks with poor performance were broken long ago . The ones that remain here are the best of the best . ” Fox Queen sighed and said, “I hope you can gain the approval of at least one Ghost Bone Mask before that xenogeneic takes any serious steps toward becoming deified . If you don’t, then ready yourself to die here with me . ”
“I can try,” Han Sen said quietly .
When Han Sen agreed, Fox Queen began teaching him a Ghost Bone Technique . She was General Ghost Bone’s wife, so she was well-versed in his techniques . She had watched him use the techniques for eons, and although she hadn’t practiced them herself, she was familiar enough with them to teach Han Sen .
Han Sen wasn’t in a rush to practice the new techniques, though . After Fox Queen explained the skill to him, he spent some time investigating it on his own .
He didn’t entirely trust Fox Queen, and he was worried that practicing the Ghost Bone Techniques might pose dangers that she hadn’t told him about .
As Han Sen researched the skill, he learned that it really would weaken his resistance to light powers . But that was the only risk involved with learning the skill, and it really did make the body much stronger . It wasn’t difficult to see why General Ghost Bone created the skills and kept them a secret .
Han Sen didn’t think the skill would be dangerous for him, but even so, he didn’t plan on practicing it . Instead, he had thought of another way to subjugate the Ghost Bone Masks .
The power of the masks aligned with the power of the Ghost Bone Techniques . If Han Sen could use the Dongxuan Aura to simulate the power of the Ghost Bone Masks, he might be able to trick the masks into believing that he had a Ghost Bone Technique .

Gaining the masks’ approval in such a roundabout way might protect him from Fox Queen . If she was planning to use the Ghost Bone Technique against him in some way, then using the Dongxuan Aura to simulate the technique should leave him less vulnerable .
Han Sen remained in the side hall and pretended to practice the Ghost Bone Technique in the way she had instructed . But in reality, he was using the Dongxuan Aura and the Purple-Eye Butterfly to watch the Ghost Bone Masks .
As Han Sen examined the powers of the Ghost Bone Masks, he considered how he might tame that blood kirin . He wanted to own it for himself .
If Fox Queen was telling him the truth, then taming the blood kirin should be easy once he obtained the power of the Ghost Bone Masks . So, Han Sen was in no immediate rush .
The key that unlocked the gate to White Bone Hell was around Fox Queen’s neck . Unless she opened the gate personally, no one else could enter .
In the base of the Ice Blue Knights, Edward looked gloomy .
Han Sen had disappeared right in front of him . Edward tried to locate Han Sen using every method he could think of, but nothing had worked . For him, this was a major failure .
“He is just a Marquise . Even if he became a Duke, his chances of surviving the wilds of Planet Ice Blue are slim . Perhaps he was killed by a xenogeneic?” an Ice Blue Knight suggested with a frown .
Edward shook his head . “No . If he was eaten by a xenogeneic, it would have left behind evidence that I could pick up . Ice Blue Knight King used the full might of the Ice Blue Knights to search for him, but Han Sen eluded them all . There’s more to this guy than we thought . ”

“Is there no other way to find him?” the Ice Blue Knight asked, quite worried about how things were going .
“Perhaps…” Edward tapped his lower lip and spoke slowly . “If Mister White joined the pursuit, perhaps he could find Han Sen . ”
“His power is restricted, isn’t it? He can only use his strength ten times throughout his entire lifetime, and he has already used his abilities eight times . Only two uses remain . You think he would spend one of those to search for a mere Marquise?” The Ice Blue Knight looked at Edward skeptically .
“He wants the same thing that we do . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to the systems of chaos in the first place . ”
“But if we tell Mister White what we’re after, things will become even more complicated . ”
“You think he doesn’t already know? When Ice Blue Knight King tried to catch Han Sen, Mr . White must have realized our objective immediately . He just didn’t say anything,” Edward responded contemptuously .
“Do you think he will try to find Han Sen on his own?” The Ice Blue Knight was shocked .
“He would go alone if he could, but his power isn’t well-suited for combat . He can’t do much, and thus, he has to depend on Crime . Even if he knew where Han Sen was, he’d still need Ice Blue Knight King or us to fight for him . ” Edward moaned and said, “We can wait . Ice Blue Knight King will lose his patience eventually, and he will go to Mister White . When that time comes, we just have to follow them . ”
Inside the palace, Han Sen was looking increasingly ghostly . His flesh had become a bit transparent, and his skeleton had blackened .
Bzzt!
As Han Sen was practicing, he heard the wall tremble and shake . He raised his head and saw a Ghost Bone Mask shivering in small, violent bursts .
“You are better than I thought you would be . It’s been less than a month, and you have already gained proficiency with Ghost Bone powers . And furthermore, you have activated the approval process of a Ghost Bone Mask . ” Fox Queen looked upon Han Sen with some measure of shock .
