These two spirit bones—one of them emitted a pale blue glow, the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull.
The other, shaped like a right arm, radiated an ice-blue light. It was the 30,000-year-old ice-attributed spirit bone that Feng Xiaotian had brought out.
Upon seeing the spirit bones appear, Shui Bing'er's eyes immediately revealed a look of longing. But soon after, she noticed something was off.
"Huh~ Brother, I remember you obtained a wind-attributed left leg bone. Why has it become an ice-attributed right arm bone now?"
Shui Bing'er let out a soft sound of surprise and asked Shui Wuhen.
Shui Wuhen replied: "I traded it with Feng Xiaotian. He just happened to have an ice-attributed spirit bone."
In truth, Shui Wuhen actually suffered a slight loss in this exchange. After all, the Swift Advance Pursuit Wind Left Leg Bone was comparable in quality to the ice-attributed right arm bone Feng Xiaotian provided. On top of that, Shui Wuhen also added an ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit bone.
However, Shui Wuhen did not care too much. In any case, that spirit bone was unlikely to be of use to him. It was better to give it to Feng Xiaotian as a favor.
"I see!"
After hearing Shui Wuhen's explanation, Shui Bing'er's eyes lit up. Although she could also accept the Swift Advance Pursuit Wind Left Leg Bone, this ice-attributed spirit bone was clearly more suitable for her.
Moreover, in terms of quality, the two spirit bones were more or less evenly matched, so the trade with Feng Xiaotian could not be considered a loss.
At the same time, Shui Bing'er happily thought to herself: "After absorbing this spirit bone, I should be close to the Spirit King realm."
Currently, Shui Bing'er was at level 47. She was still three levels away from reaching level 50. And this 30,000-year ice-attributed right arm bone could increase her spirit power by about two levels, bringing her to level 49.
The remaining one level, with Shui Bing'er's talent, would likely take at most half a year to break through. In a place like Tianxue Peak, the speed would only be faster.
One must know that despite their brilliance being overshadowed by Shui Wuhen and the others, Shui Bing'er was still a 16-year-old Level 47 Spirit Elder with the top-tier martial spirit Ice Phoenix. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, there were not many who could match her.
However, just as Shui Bing'er was happily anticipating obtaining her first spirit bone, Shui Wuhen directly placed both spirit bones into her hands.
"Brother, this is…"
Seeing Shui Wuhen hand both spirit bones to her, Shui Bing'er froze for a moment, unable to react.
Shui Wuhen smiled faintly and said in a calm tone: "Both spirit bones are yours. I'm not taking them."
"No, brother, you worked so hard to get these spirit bones. I can't accept them!"
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er immediately shook her head and tried to return the spirit bones.
To her, it was already acceptable for Shui Wuhen to give her one of them. After all, they were siblings and had a close relationship. But for him to give both away—she could not accept that under any circumstances.
However, Shui Wuhen simply stopped her from returning them and said firmly: "If I say take them, then take them. I don't care about this head spirit bone."
"You're lying!"
Shui Bing'er clearly did not believe him. She looked straight at Shui Wuhen and refuted: "This Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull is at least over 50,000 years old in quality, and it's a rare head spirit bone among spirit bones. It's one of the finest existences among all spirit bones. How could you possibly not care about it!"
To Shui Bing'er, this Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull was only second to a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.
As for hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, most Title Douluo did not even possess one, so they were essentially out of consideration.
"I didn't lie to you, sister."
Seeing this, Shui Wuhen could not help but smile wryly and explained: "If I'm going to absorb spirit bones, I'll only absorb the best ones. After I break through to Title Douluo, I'll naturally have the ability to hunt more hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts and build a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones."
"A… a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones?"
Shui Bing'er was stunned. She had not expected her brother's ambition to be this enormous.
One must know that although hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts guaranteed hundred-thousand-year spirit bones, the human body could only accommodate six spirit bones in total—head, torso, and four limbs.
A full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones meant Shui Wuhen would need to hunt at least six hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts in the future, and they would also need to match his attributes. Was that really possible?
"Yes, a full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones!"
Shui Wuhen nodded.
In truth, this was not a sudden idea. He had already been thinking about it for a long time.
The strength of this world far exceeded his expectations. If he wanted to reach the very peak, he had to push his limits as far as possible.
In terms of martial spirit, Ice Divine Bird was already extremely powerful—at least in his view, far surpassing the so-called top-tier martial spirits of this world.
In terms of comprehension, with the accumulation of his past life experience, he was also at the top level. This was evident from the fact that he had already created several self-created spirit skills at such a young age.
Then the only factors limiting his upper bound were spirit rings and spirit bones.
He currently had no good solution for spirit rings, so the only thing he could control was spirit bones.
That was why he rejected the Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull, which others would regard as an ultimate treasure. Once spirit bones were absorbed, they were almost impossible to replace, so he had to be extremely careful.
After a long moment, Shui Bing'er finally recovered from her shock and helplessly rubbed her forehead.
"Brother, what am I supposed to say about you… your ambition is just too outrageous. A full set of hundred-thousand-year spirit bones—you really said it out loud."
Shui Wuhen then smiled and said: "That's why I'm giving these spirit bones to my sister. Only when Bing'er becomes stronger will it be easier for us to hunt hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts in the future."
"Hmph! You make it sound so easy."
Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at him.
But then her tone changed as she lowered her head: "But… who told you to be my real brother? Since you have your goals, as your sister, I naturally have to support you."
After saying that, Shui Bing'er no longer hesitated. She sat down cross-legged and placed the two spirit bones on her lap, beginning to absorb them.
Since Shui Wuhen had already put it that way, she had no need to be stubborn. Moreover, she did indeed need these two spirit bones.
Shui Wuhen's progress was too fast. Even though Shui Bing'er was also a top genius, without external help, she simply could not keep up with his pace.
These two spirit bones, while not completely bridging the gap between them, could at least significantly shorten it.
