But the next moment, the entire pale blue ocean began to churn violently, the whole world spun around him, and numerous attacks from the Spiritual Power Sea within the soul bone bombarded Xu Sheng...
This attack, which seemed to tear apart his mind, caused a few traces of pain to flash across Xu Sheng's face, as he bit his thin lips and silently endured the agony...
Afterward, the pain grew more and more ferocious. When it reached its peak, Xu Sheng couldn't help but hiss coldly...
Despite already possessing the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo, his spiritual power was still rather weak...
So much so that assimilating this skull bone still brought unnecessary pain.
As the ocean around him gradually turned transparent and merged into Xu Sheng's body, the pain also gradually faded away...
Meanwhile, in the real world, the soul bone that had been cradled in his hands had also quietly merged into Xu Sheng's skull...
...
Seated cross-legged on the ground, Xu Sheng's eyes slightly opened; he could already feel a significant breakthrough in his spiritual power after absorbing the skull bone.
Even without using his eyes, he could sense everything within five meters around him.
Bi Bidong, who had been closely monitoring Xu Sheng, squinted her eyes and asked, "Xiao Sheng, how is it? Is there any rejection after the absorption?"
Although it was very unlikely for a soul bone to reject a Soul Master, it must be taken seriously, especially with a skull bone, where not a single error could be afforded.
At the least, it could result in intellectual damage, and at worst, it could lead to becoming possessed and losing control!
Xu Sheng turned back with a smile and said, "Teacher, no need to worry. After absorbing the skull bone, my spiritual power has greatly increased, but it seems my cultivation level has not yet broken through."
Bi Bidong's expression remained unchanged as she propped her cheek with her hand and said indifferently, "That's to be expected. Just one soul bone can't withstand the pressure of your Titled Douluo-level Soul Power. You'll probably need to absorb at least three pieces before you might break through the bottleneck."
Xu Sheng looked thoughtfully at the other two soul bones, "Then Teacher, should I start absorbing the other soul bones now?"
He thought it best to absorb them as soon as possible for peace of mind, especially after listening to what Bi Bidong had said.
Without absorbing the soul bones, his body could last at most two more years, making him feel like a ticking time bomb...
But to Xu Sheng's surprise, Bi Bidong shook her head, denying his plan, and said coldly, "No, take a break before continuing to absorb. Although the other soul bones are not as dangerous, they are not that easy to assimilate."
Xu Sheng nodded without asking further and continued to sit cross-legged and started cultivating...
Afterward, Xu Sheng successively absorbed the Exploding Burning Flame Right Arm and the Swift Wind Left Leg of Rapid Advance.
Since they were not closely related to spiritual power, the entire process was very smooth.
And his cultivation level successfully crossed that threshold, breaking through from level 90 to Level Ninety-One!
Xu Sheng stood up from the ground, brushed off his trousers, and saw Bi Bidong staring at him, slightly lost in thought...
He couldn't help but interrupt her reverie, "Teacher, is there anything else? If not, I'll be heading back now..."
He and Bi Bidong were alone in this small dark room, and he always felt he had to be extremely careful with anything he wanted to do. Most importantly, being beside a great beauty he could only look at but not touch...
How could any man bear it? Moreover, his body was still that of a little kid, not yet fully developed, right?
Regaining her senses, Bi Bidong's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance as she glanced out of the window...
The massive Martial Soul Hall had been enveloped by the night...
Bi Bidong thought calmly for a moment, her lips unconsciously curving slightly upward...
Looking at Xu Sheng, her absolutely stunning cheeks flushed slightly, then disappeared as quickly as they had come...
Standing up, she slowly approached Xu Sheng, reached out her palm, and gently patted his shoulder...
Pretending to be nonchalant, she said, "Xiao Sheng, it's getting late. Stay here tonight, just to keep your teacher company and chat, alright?"
Standing there, Xu Sheng's legs stiffened, and he felt as though he had been struck by lightning...
What's going on here?
I'm in a master-apprentice relationship with Bi Bidong now!
First, it was a solitary young man and woman in a room, and then Bi Bidong wanted me to sleep with her!
My goodness, why does the plot always develop in such a melodramatic way?
Could it be that I'm going to have a teacher-student romance with Bi Bidong?
Xu Sheng silently shrank back a little, forcing Bi Bidong to loosen her hand from his shoulder…
Then he took a deep breath and gently refused, "Teacher, I think maybe we shouldn't. We're not far from the academy, and if other people saw us, it might not reflect well on you…"
She wouldn't agree so easily just because Bi Bidong was a beauty!
He, Xu Sheng, although lazy, is also a righteous man!
Seeing Xu Sheng's reply, disappointment was clearly shown on Bi Bidong's face. She slightly turned her back and sighed quietly, "Is that so"
The corner of Xu Sheng's head, because of absorbing the skull, was able to clearly sense Bi Bidong's undisguised disappointment…
Seeing his teacher, a beautiful woman, showing such an expression, he still felt somewhat remorseful at heart…
Should he just give in to Bi Bidong?
He proposed hesitantly, "Teacher, how about this, you sleep in the bed and I'll cultivate on the floor, is that okay?"
He secretly thought, "I'm still so young, Bi Bidong probably won't do anything to someone ignorant and innocent like me, right?"
She probably wouldn't, right?
Bi Bidong, who had turned her back, suddenly beamed a smile as if she had received some precious gift, and her clear, untainted smile made everything else seem insignificant...
Bi Bidong walked back to Xu Sheng's side, embraced him tightly, and whispered, "Of course, Xiao Sheng, thank you. It's been a long time since someone has been willing to have a heart-to-heart with me…"
...
As the night faded, a sliver of light shone through the window into the room…
It landed right on Xu Sheng's face, and he rubbed his eyes and then tried to get up…
But he found his waist tightly embraced by a pair of hands, with even breathing noises whispering by his ear…
Xu Sheng grabbed the soft bed and inhaled sharply, "Oh my! Wasn't I cultivating on the floor all night? How did I end up on the bed!"
That breathing just now… could it be…!
Xu Sheng frowned and quietly glanced sideways, only to see Bi Bidong, already asleep and still graceful, her country-toppling, city-destroying cheeks soft and wrinkle-free, lying peacefully beside him…
If it were just that, it wouldn't be such a big deal!
But what's the situation now?
Bi Bidong's body was pressed tightly against my back!
A thought slowly surfaced in Xu Sheng's mind, "Are you moved?"
He shivered in his heart, "Don't move! Don't move!"
If I were to move even slightly, I would touch Bi Bidong's body, which outlined the perfect curves!
If it came to that, no explanation would be clear enough!
