Chapter 26: Giving Up a Soul Bone
"Well, Bingbing, release your spiritual essence and I will guide you."

Hearing this, Bingdi lowered his head and frowned, his eyes full of confusion.

Once the spiritual essence is released, it means that one has embarked on a road of no return. Either one reaches the end, or one dies...

She is very conflicted now, this is her final decision.

Seeing that Bingdi did not move for a long time, Tianmeng Bingcan became serious. He knew that Bingdi's entanglement was due to fear.

Then he clenched his right fist, placed it in front of his heart, and swore devoutly.

"Bing Shen, I, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, swear in the name of Bing that if I deceive Bing Di and fail to help her become an intelligent spirit ring, everything that belongs to Bing will be taken away by you and she will fall into the abyss forever."

As soul beasts of the Far North, they believe not in the Beast God but the Ice God. To them, the Ice God has given them everything.

There is no way the soul beasts here would casually joke about the Ice God's oath.

"Okay! I am not a person who is indecisive. I will believe your dream once. Come on, let's fulfill our great wish of creating a god together!"

The Ice Emperor mobilized his strength, and a ball of emerald green fluid mental power emerged from his brows and landed in the hands of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

Now that she has chosen to join, she no longer has the chance to regret it.

"Alright Tianmeng, let's get down to business. How are you going to make this tiny human bear the tyrannical power of this emperor?"

"My solution is..."

"This method has an 80% success rate, but..."

Li Xingyi was not allowed to participate in the process of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Bingdi discussing the method, and he was not even allowed to eavesdrop. For this reason, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm specially released the remaining mental power to isolate Li Xingyi from prying eyes, in order to prevent Li Xingyi's emotions from fluctuating too much.

After a few minutes.

After the two beasts finished their discussion, they used their mental power to transform themselves into the outside world and stood in front of Li Xingyi.

"Xingyi, the result of my discussion with Tianmeng is to replace the bones first and then enter the soul, so that as much power as possible can be transferred to you." Bingdi said.

Hearing this, Li Xingyi was a little confused and asked, "First change the bones and then enter the soul? Tell me more about it."

The Ice Emperor glanced at the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and then at Li Xingyi in front of him, cleared his throat, and explained:

"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle Tianmeng's method. We chose a more conservative approach and will consider the issue of strength only when the success rate is close to 100%."

"You soul masters should know common sense. A hundred thousand year soul beast will definitely produce a soul bone. But compared to ordinary hundred thousand year soul beasts, my soul bone is much stronger, and I can freely decide its form."

"Therefore, we decided to fuse your soul bone first. This will improve your physical fitness and prevent your body from rejecting my soul power. This will integrate the power into your body. This will be considered a success."

When Li Xingyi heard Bingdi's decision, he was a little bit unbelievable.

When he and Tianmeng Bingcan came, they had no intention of taking Bingdi's soul bones. They were thinking of leaving Bingdi an intact body, but they didn't expect that she would actually give up everything.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with doing this. Further improving Li Xingyi's strength can indeed increase his chances of becoming a god.

"I have already thought about it. I will fuse your spine with your soul bone. In other words, your spine, sternum, and even ribs will all be replaced in the process! This process will be extremely painful and long... If you have a mental breakdown, all your efforts will be in vain!"

The choice of Hyotei is indeed the one with the biggest improvement, which can greatly improve the quality of the body.

But for Li Xingyi, it's just the opposite. What he needs is more specialization!

So, Li Xingyi asked: "Bingdi, is it possible to change the shape of the lower half of the vertebrae or the unimportant sections of the ribs and fuse them to the right arm?" That's right!

Li Xingyi's martial soul [Nothingness] has a long sword that he wields with his right hand, especially when he is in the [Nothingness] state. Strengthening his right arm is the biggest improvement for him.

"That's no problem..."

Bingdi shook his head and said, "But this is not worth it. Although I can change the shape of the soul bone, it is still a soul bone in the final analysis. Doing this will not only make the places you gave up fragile, but also occupy the position of the arm bone. Do you know what this means?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also came up quickly: "Xingyi, don't be silly, although this can help you improve in the short term, but in the long run you will lose a soul bone position! Others have six soul bones, but you can only fuse five..."

On the surface, this is indeed a waste of future potential, but Li Xingyi has a different opinion.

"Brother Tianmeng, Bingdi, although there is one less soul bone position, the right arm bone and the entire spine system come from Bingdi's soul bone. They are one body! This is incomparable to the surprising soul bone in terms of flexibility, power transmission consumption, and power repulsion. I think this is a good choice!"

"..."

After a heated debate between the two beasts, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor compromised and agreed to give up one soul bone position.

After all, Li Xingyi is the master of this body, and if he insists, the two beasts will not be able to persuade him.

"Okay, we agree, but there is one thing I absolutely cannot agree to." Bingdi sighed.

Li Xingyi asked: "Which point?"

"Vertebrae! The spine is an extremely important bone for you humans. Once damaged, it will affect the entire body. The vertebrae must be replaced by soul bones. My suggestion is to give up the lower ribs. There are no important organs in that part, and the sternum is used for protection..."

Li Xing nodded slightly and said, "I agree, no problem... Let's start now."

"Li Xingyi, are you ready?"

"bring it on!"

Li Xingyi does not have a secret soul bone, so the pain will be aggravated when fusing the soul bones, which is simply adding insult to injury.

But at this final moment, there was no way back.

Bingdi moved his fingers slightly, and a bone-chilling chill swept through Li Xingyi's body.

"I used 'Freeze' to lower your body temperature and keep you at the critical point of shock. The numbness can greatly reduce the pain, but the process is still unimaginable... Remember, you must not faint, otherwise all your efforts will fail!"

During the previous discussion, Li Xingyi took the initiative to suggest not to activate the power of [Nothingness] unless it was absolutely necessary.

After all, it was an unknown force, and no one could be sure whether it would interfere with the fusion...

They dare not gamble, and cannot gamble!

Li Xingyi, who was on the verge of shock, suddenly heard the shouting of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"It's coming, Li Xingyi, you must stay awake!"

At the side, the body of the Ice Wall Emperor Scorpion was thrown out by the Ice Emperor, and its tail stinger pierced Li Xingyi's entire chest from behind.

Fusion begins...
