Douluo: Infinite Lottery System

Xiao Tianyang definitely wasn't bluffing when he said that.

Just now, he had fully entered that state—almost reaching a level of complete selflessness. If not for the fact that they were near the academy, he wouldn't have held back with his blade at all.

One had to understand—he had just used Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to execute that strike!

How powerful was it? He couldn't say for sure.

But at the very least, he was confident that no one below the level 40 could withstand it!

In other words, the saber was special. Otherwise, even a minor injury would have been a lucky outcome.

"...Sorry." Saber lowered her head.

Xiao Tianyang could only sigh in response. In the end, he reached out and gently ruffled her hair.

"I don't blame you. I just don't want you to get hurt."

With that, their training session was naturally cut short. However, it didn't matter—they could sit and chat instead.

After all, there would be plenty of time for training in the future, so there was no need to rush.

It was nearly dawn when Xiao Tianyang finally escorted Saber back to the girls' dormitory.

But when he returned to his own room alone, something suddenly occurred to him.

The 10,000-year-old right arm bone was still sitting in his storage ring!

After locking the door and drawing the curtains, Xiao Tianyang instructed Bubu to stand guard. Only then did he retrieve the soul bone.

Soul Bone: Right Arm Bone of the God of Earthquake

Age: 17,000 years

[***This is the accurate age of this soul bone. The previous age of 100,000 thousand was a mistake.***]

Attached Skills: High-Frequency Vibration – Enhances attack power by generating shock waves.

Earthquake and Mountain Shatter – Amplifies vibrations to resonate with the air and ground, triggering earthquakes or even tsunamis.

Seeing the soul bone's attributes, Xiao Tianyang was momentarily stunned.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the saber in his hand.

"This is basically a hardcover version of the 'Shock Fruit', but with no side effects!"

Not only had he obtained the weapon of someone he admired, but now he had also acquired their ability. His wish had essentially come true!

"Alright, let's fuse this right arm bone first."

Xiao Tianyang was a decisive person.

Without hesitation, he calmed his mind, sat on his bed, grasped the right arm bone in his palm, closed his eyes, and began the absorption process.

The pain was intense—but compared to the agony of absorbing his first and third spirit rings, this was nothing.

Soon, the entire soul bone melted into a silver liquid that climbed up his right arm, seeping into his skin and transforming his bones from within.

It was unclear how much time had passed, but when Xiao Tianyang opened his eyes again, they gleamed brightly.

He stood up, waved his right arm experimentally, and was relieved to find that nothing felt off.

"That's a relief. Otherwise, I'd have to readjust to my own arm again. That would've been annoying."

As he spoke, he casually threw a punch forward.

"Crack!"

The air split apart, and an invisible shockwave blasted outward!

A moment later, a hole the size of a washbasin appeared in the wall...

Xiao Tianyang: "..."

The door suddenly swung open.

Saber stood there, eyes widening as she saw him frozen in place, staring at the hole in the wall.

"What happened?" she asked.

Xiao Tianyang forced a stiff smile.

"Uh… there was a mouse..."

"MOUSE?!"

Saber yelped in fear and instantly leaped into Xiao Tianyang's arms.

"I didn't expect you to be afraid of something like that..."

Xiao Tianyang was speechless. Then, looking down at Saber, who was still trembling slightly in his embrace, he sighed.

"Wait outside for a bit. I'm going to take a shower, then we'll go grab breakfast."

"...Mm."

Only then did Saber realize she had jumped into his arms. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she quickly stepped away.

Xiao Tianyang raised an eyebrow.

"Hmph, taking advantage of me, are you? You girls are just after my body. But I won't let you succeed so easily."

Carrying Saber to the doorway, he set her down before heading back into his room to shower.

A while later, the two of them rode a bicycle to the cafeteria.

After finishing their meal, they headed to the academy's training square, where the others had already gathered.

This time, however, Flender was nowhere to be seen. Only Yu Xiaogang stood before them.

"The focus of this morning's training is actual combat drills," Yu Xiaogang announced, his gaze sweeping over everyone. Then, he looked at Xiao Tianyang and Saber.

"You two stand aside for now."

Xiao Tianyang shrugged. "Looks like we're off the hook."

He leisurely stepped back, Saber following half a step behind him.

"First up—Xiao San and Mubai."

Upon hearing their names, Tang San and Dai Mubai stepped forward.

"You two will fight," Yu Xiaogang continued. "However, no special weapons are allowed. Understood, Xiao San?"

Tang San nodded, and the others stepped back, making space for them to engage in close combat.

The battle soon began.

Dai Mubai had his advantages—his higher rank and powerful soul force.

However, when facing Tang San, he couldn't afford to hold back.

Even without using hidden weapons, a control-type soul master could steadily suppress an attack-type soul master in certain aspects.

Especially with his newly acquired third spirit ability—Blue Silver Spider Web Restraint.

At the final moment, he used it to entrap Dai Mubai completely, rendering him immobile.

"The match is decided!"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand, signaling the end of the fight.

Tang San immediately withdrew his spider web, but the residual toxins were still troublesome.

Dai Mubai, now kneeling on one knee, looked visibly pale and sluggish.

"Tianyang, help him recover," Yu Xiaogang instructed, glancing at Xiao Tianyang, who had been watching the fight with interest.

Xiao Tianyang sighed. "So I'm just a healing tool now, huh..."

Muttering to himself, he activated his first soul skill.

A green flame flickered and flowed into Dai Mubai's body.

In mere moments, his injuries vanished, and even the toxins lost their effect—completely neutralized by Xiao Tianyang's healing ability.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.

He had only ever witnessed such potent recovery abilities in one particular martial spirit—Nine Heart Flowering Apple.

But in some ways, Xiao Tianyang's first soul skill was even superior!

After all, this level of healing could clearly be used multiple times, unlike Nine Heart Flowering Apple, which had limited applications.

However, Yu Xiaogang quickly set aside his thoughts and turned back to Dai Mubai.

"Do you understand why you lost?" he asked.

Dai Mubai opened his mouth but hesitated to answer.

The Yu Xiaogang then looked at Xiao Tianyang. "Tianyang, what do you think?"

Xiao Tianyang sighed internally. 'Why am I getting dragged into this again...?' 

But outwardly, his response was quick and to the point.

"Generally speaking, control-type soul masters are nearly unbeatable in one-on-one fights below a certain level. Of course, this is only true in a general sense," he added with a cough—clearly excluding himself from that rule.

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

'I asked you for an analysis, not for self-promotion!' 

Xiao Tianyang ignored the stares and continued, his expression slightly amused.

"Dai Mubai actually had an advantage—his higher rank. He should have dragged out the fight instead of charging in recklessly."

"Of course, that level of tactical finesse requires skill. And Dai Mubai… well, he's not there yet."

Dai Mubai: "..."

'Why do you sound like you're complimenting me and insulting me at the same time?!'

The Grandmaster nodded. "A good point—though a bit blunt," he remarked. "Attack-type soul masters will always struggle against control-types in one-on-one fights. That's why teamwork is essential. Instead of relying on brute strength, he should have coordinated with his allies to break free from control."
