The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 3168

Chapter 3168 The Spiritual Bone Of Legend The numbers of those who harbored that notion had only increased since, and all of them were racking their brains, trying to figure out how and when to act on it. Azure Dragon and the others remained completely in the dark about their counterpart's devious schemes and were even more oblivious about the possibility of transplanting spiritual bones. As these visitors appeared to harbor no ill will, they were happy to entertain approaches to have tests conducted for their spiritual bones and thought it only a good thing for everyone to collectivize their understanding of the subject matter. On the day, they even met a couple of would-be testers who claimed to be from the Ecclesiastic Order itself. The earlier batches of visitors seemed pretty normal, but the last group that arrived after dark decked out in black and tightly veiled were quite deliberate about not revealing their own identities. Like ghosts, they appeared suddenly and then vanished just as quickly afterward without a trace. That roused Azure Dragon's concerns, for he knew exactly how the others came and left, but he did not even notice when that group arrived and how they managed to vanish right under his nose. The others with Azure Dragon, too, did not pay too much attention to them either as they opined that with as many factions as there were in the Ecclesiastic Order itself, seeing one or two peculiar folks amongst them would be nothing out of the ordinary. Somewhere on the Heavenly League's training base, a few people clad in black robes had convened. Having just tested the Azure Dragon quintet's spiritual bones, they had come upon an important discovery. “Hahaha... Bunch of fools! Calling this spiritual bone exceptional? They aren't seeing anything beyond the surface yet! Never would they expect that it is the synthesis of the spiritual bones from all five of them that would produce something truly exceptional!” “That's right! The spiritual bones on the five of them are indeed the spiritual bone of legend, with each individual one aligned to one of the five different elements, just as we thought!” The lot of them rambled on and on zealously. Spiritual bone had always been subjected to a system of classification but it was owing to its proliferation by the Ecclesiastic Order that everyone now understood how the issue of spiritual bone correlated to the difference in prowess between Deities. Those who possessed the greater quality of spiritual bone naturally wielded greater potency. No one knew exactly how the class differentiation mechanics actually worked but those within the Ecclesiastic Order all knew that the most fearsome spiritual bones were the ones in the legendary class. The spiritual bones of the anchoring fighters for some of the factions were the strongest and many of which hailed from the legendary class. Instances of the elemental spiritual bones possessed by Azure Dragon and his peers which belonged to that legendary class, however, were so rare that they were almost impossible to come by! The quintet was at their strongest when they worked together, and it was already previously known to them that Azure Dragon and his peers were able to unleash a redoubtable combat prowess when they operated as a collective. Alone, they were already formidable but together, they were unbeatable. That led them to speculate that the spiritual bones of the quintet may be complementary, and possibly be the elemental spiritual bone of legend. It was a fact that they were able to confirm upon that purposeful trip for testing. “Hahaha... What a coincidence! This is exactly the spiritual bone that we have been looking for!” “But to attain its most potent expression, these five types of spiritual bone have to be melded together and manifested upon a single body! Collaboration between five individuals isn't going to cut it!” “We must make these elemental spiritual bones ours!” The lot of them rambled on excitedly as they had long coveted that sort of spiritual bone. Now that it had finally surfaced, the next step would be for them to extract the spiritual bone from the bodies of Azure Dragon and his peers and had them transplanted onto a single person so that this one person could have all five of those elemental spiritual bones. “Initially, we wanted to test the spiritual bone of the daughter of Erudia's Crown King, whose remarkable gifts I've been told about over and over ad nauseam. Now, it would seem unnecessary, for no matter how powerful she may be, her spiritual bone could not possibly compare with the elemental spiritual bone!” “That's right! My primary target all along has been that little girl, but she's no longer needed now! We can get the spiritual bone off her when we have use of it in the future. For now, the elemental spiritual bone off these five would suffice!” “Hahaha... Never in my life have I expected to come into this spiritual bone of legend!” the lot of them guffawed.
