Chapter 671 The Path To Platinum-Grade
The Soul Bone in Lothur's hands was a pelvis bone, demon General, Gold-grade, and when absorbed, it would generate an ability.
This was a good bone for someone who had never absorbed others or even only had one or two. But for someone like Lothur, this was no longer an interesting Soul Bone.
Looking at that colorful bone, Lothur immediately decided to give it to Elke, his least talented woman.
With his departure from Leopoldine due to take place soon, it would be difficult for Elke to keep improving at the same speed as the others, given her low natural talent.
To help her out, he decided to give her that bone!
'It's important that the women behind the Ritter Motor Company are powerful.' He thought before he set off to work it out.
...
Hours later...
After Lothur had given the pelvis Soul Bone to Elke, she quickly focused on absorbing it.
As it was much easier to do this outside the Imperial Prison, this had not taken days to finish, and in just one afternoon's work, Elke had managed to successfully fuse with her new bone.
Seeing her finishing, Lothur immediately left what he was doing in his residence and went to her.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Soul Cultivation: level 16 -> 18]
[Body Cultivation: level 15 -> 17]
[STR: 319.6] [CON: 843.1] [DEX: 308.6] AGI: 320.7]
[INT: 86.6] [PER: 68.3] [WIL: 210] [SOU: 479.9]
Seeing his woman's improvements, Lothur smiled in happiness.
More developed Soul Bones could elevate the attributes of those absorbing them more significantly.
This was a Gold-grade bone, so naturally, Elke had benefited dramatically!
However, as much as she was now a Divine Soul Transcendent concerning her soul cultivation, Lothur knew that his woman could not be casually compared to such cultivators.
She had this high soul cultivation not because of her Soul attribute but because of her Physique.
There were cultivators with Soul attribute up to 4 times higher than hers at level 18, so Lothur knew that Elke would have to be very careful, and some of his level 17 slaves were much stronger than her.
But seeing her open her eyes and smile at him, he didn't speak of this immediately.
"Congratulations on advancing a few levels, Elke." He hugged her as he said that. "From now on, you will be able to defend our family and your parents more easily, haha."
"Hmm, thank you, Lothur." She said with her eyes watering, thrilled for this fabulous journey alongside this man.
If not for Lothur, she would probably still be a Mortal Warrior in Sector 1 of the Morning Star Academy.
However, currently, she was already practically finishing his studies at this academy and was already the highest-level cultivator in the province!
"Don't thank me. You don't have to do that." He said, looking into the little eyes of this beautiful woman. "However, you must be careful and not push yourself unnecessarily.
Whenever possible, use our men. Those fugitives from the Imperial Prison are here to be used and not just be stuck in that headquarters.
You and the others should focus your time on getting stronger and leading the Ritter Motor Company.
You should only worry about fighting when the situation is desperate enough that you have no other choice."
She heard this and immediately accepted her man's recommendation.
"Now, show me your new skill." He became less serious, curious to see Elke's skill in action.
She smiled like a child about to present her new toy and turned away from Lothur.
"The ability of this bone is fascinating, Lothur. It is called Celestial Light. It is based on the light element, somewhat strange if you think it came from a dark creature."
Lothur heard this and said. "Hmm, it is indeed strange, but it can happen. The elements of darkness and light are opposites and usually neutralize each other. However, the essence of an organism can contain both natures.
It is an implausible thing to happen, but just as there are four-leaf clovers, there are beings capable of controlling two opposing elements."
This was the same for flames and water, among others.
Elke continued. "In any case, I can manipulate the light element and form various types of attacks and even defense with this ability."
Her hands glowed in an extremely intense white as she spoke while silhouettes of the same color appeared in her surroundings.
First, she made a huge shield in front of her body, making several circles and inscriptions appear in the surroundings.
Then she showed a silhouette similar to the one Lothur could form with the Prometheus Flames.
'Hmm, her ability should be similar to mine but focused on the light element.' Lothur concluded as he saw the laws in the silhouettes around Elke.
Elke couldn't see it, but Lothur could clearly see what was behind those shapes.
Whenever a cultivator activated a technique and formed something spiritual, the laws behind that power would inscribe themselves into their powers, forming their objects and powers of interest.
In a way, this was like the inscriptions of a formation.
However, soul cultivators did this unconsciously with their cultivation comprehension.
Even the weakest cultivator did this without realizing it, and Lothur slowly realized this.
'If I wanted to stop a formation, it would be enough to change their inscriptions... Could I do the same with an opponent's techniques and skills?' He wondered.
However, he would never use his woman as a guinea pig to find that out.
"All right, Elke, I've seen enough." He smiled at her as he approached her. "Your skill is outstanding. So keep working hard to raise its traits, and it will be even stronger in the future."
"Hmm." She smiled.
"That skill comes from a Soul Bone that belonged to a Celestial Saint. So I imagine it is close to advancing in quality and becoming a Platinum-grade bone.
Then you must focus on advancing your cultivation. Once you become an Origin Saint, the powers of it will rise significantly." Lothur advised her.
Elke felt anxious upon hearing this, clenching her fists as she felt the urge to train.
"I will do my best!" She promised.
After that, the two turned their attention to their local problems, with Lothur going to the academy and Elke to one of the Ritter Motor Company factories.
