Spirit Kite Douluo lifted a piece of Thousand Tribulations Nirvana Feather Coat Crisp and stuffed it into her mouth even faster than before.
Only food, she felt, could save her collapsing world.
Meanwhile, Devil Bear Douluo remained frozen on his knees, unable to care about anyone's gaze.
Because a cold, merciless fact filled his mind:
External Spirit Bone.
The ecstasy of those four words was now suffocating beneath one iron rule—
To absorb an external Spirit Bone, you needed a spirit ring from the same type of Spirit Beast.
And in his entire life of hunting, when had he ever encountered a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear?
Heaven flipped to hell in an instant.
Ecstasy turned into a despair so absurd it almost felt like a cruel joke.
It was like a mortal praying for a divine artifact all his life…
only for the gods to grant it with the key hidden at the other end of the world.
Ironic.
Cruel.
Devastating.
His bear-like eyes locked onto the dark golden Spirit Bone floating before him. His pupils were bloodshot, his body trembling from crushing loss.
"Senior… Senior…"
Devil Bear Douluo struggled to raise his head. His voice was hoarse, each word dragging through despair.
"This… this external Spirit Bone… Junior… cannot absorb it…"
These words seemed to tear his heart apart.
Lin Feng, who had almost been entirely distracted by Spirit Kite Douluo's earlier disaster, was pulled back into the moment.
Of course he knew exactly what Devil Bear was thinking.
He had expected this from the moment the system drew the bone.
Without even looking at the man's twisted expression, Lin Feng simply extended a finger and flicked the Spirit Bone lightly—
as if brushing away dust.
Buzz—!
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's Spirit Bone burst into glaring light, exploding into a wild, domineering dark golden beam!
It didn't give anyone time to react.
It didn't follow any rules of this world.
"Pfft!"
The beam ignored flesh, bone, and the so-called laws of Spirit Bone absorption—
and smashed directly into Devil Bear Douluo's right arm.
In the corner, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo tightened their grip on each other's hands, their eyes filled with fear and fiery excitement.
Forced fusion.
This wasn't something mortals could accomplish.
This was a miracle.
Their eyes reddened with jealousy.
An external Spirit Bone… the equivalent value of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone!
Why—WHY—wasn't it them?
Tuoba Xi's entire body shook as he witnessed the miracle.
Slowly, stiffly, he turned. His ancient dragon eyes locked onto Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan—brimming with shock, fervor, and a profound gratitude that came from his very soul.
These children weren't juniors.
They were benefactors—
those who had dragged him back from the brink of stagnation, a fate worse than death for a cultivator.
After a long silence, he exhaled a turbid breath—
as if releasing decades of confusion and wasted years.
"You three children…"
He raised his calloused hand—one that could crush mountains—
and gently rested it on Xie Yue's shoulder, reverent and restrained.
"This favor… this old man may never repay in his lifetime."
But while Tuoba Xi was moved to the core…
Spirit Kite Douluo, after surviving her social execution and witnessing a miracle firsthand…
Lowered her head.
Picked up the plate of Feather Coat Crisp.
And took a big, fierce bite.
Spirit Bone? Opportunities?
Let this old woman finish eating first.
Until she forgets what just happened, she does not want to speak to any of them.
On the other side, Devil Bear Douluo finally regained awareness.
He clenched his right fist instinctively—
And an unprecedented, sky-tearing power surged up his arm.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear external Spirit Bone had fused perfectly with his body—
as though born to be part of him.
A miracle.
A true miracle.
Bang!
Devil Bear Douluo dropped flat to the floor, kowtowing with a devotion that shook the room.
"Senior's grace is the grace of rebirth! Devil Bear has no way to repay it in this life!"
His voice trembled, yet carried iron resolve.
"From today onward, Devil Bear's life belongs to Senior!"
Lin Feng didn't even open his eyes fully.
"It's not a favor."
His voice was calm and steady, but it struck everyone's hearts like divine decree.
"That you drew it is your luck.
That it fused is my rule."
"That is all."
Devil Bear Douluo trembled, his reverence deepening from admiration into worship.
He understood.
To this Senior, his life meant nothing.
The only thing that mattered was following his rules.
Tuoba Xi, shaken to the core, could no longer remain seated. He rose slowly, straightened his robe, and for the first time revealed the full weight of his resolve.
The kind, gentle elder was gone.
Only determination remained—
a willingness to stake his entire cultivation and honor.
He bowed deeply toward Lin Feng, a bow more respectful than any he had given in his entire life.
"Junior Tuoba Xi greets Senior!"
Lin Feng answered with a faint "Mm."
Tuoba Xi straightened, took a deep breath—
and in his ancient dragon eyes, a long-dead flame reignited.
He was not here for a meal.
He was here to seek the Dao—
to fight for a path that shattered his decade-long stagnation.
"Junior dares to order three dishes!"
His voice rang with longing, desperation, and hope.
"Golden Dragon Beard Noodles!"
"Holy Light Qilin Arm!"
"And a pot of… Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Wine!"
"Please, Senior—grant my wish!"
