Chapter 423: Obtain treasures, and provide Xu Hei with what he needs

Upon hearing Elder Tiger Whale's grumbling, Xu Hei's mouth twitched slightly. Was he referring to me as a brat?

However, Xu Hei's attention was quickly drawn to the skull.

"What is this?"

"This is custom-made for you. Try it on," Elder Tiger Whale said.

Xu Hei immediately placed the skull over his head, and it fit snugly.

In an instant, he felt a faint connection with the magical treasure, as if he could activate it with just a thought.

"Open!" Xu Hei commanded in a low voice.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

From the back of the skull, a series of white bones grew out, enveloping Xu Hei from head to toe, from spine to ribs, like a suit of bone armor.

Xu Hei tried moving around and found that his movements were completely unhindered. The bone armor felt like a phantom, with no tangible sensation.

However, when he deliberately crashed into a reef, shattering it, he realized the destructive power of this bone armor.

What surprised Xu Hei even more was that activating it required little effort.

Despite being a fourth-tier magical treasure, its energy consumption was akin to that of a third-tier one, as if someone was secretly assisting him.

"This bone armor was crafted from White Tooth's remains," Elder Tiger Whale explained.

Xu Hei fell silent.

From the first glance, he had suspected as much.

Marine creatures are like this; every giant beast's growth involves killing and devouring, but when they die, they return everything to the sea.

Without hesitation, Xu Hei declared with determination, "I will not let this treasure go to waste!"

"Go on," Elder Tiger Whale nodded.

...

On the island of the Turtle lineage, where Xu Bai resided.

Inside the cave dwelling, a green light swirled.

Xu Bai sat coiled inside, her eyes flickering with a bright green light that gradually faded after a long while.

"Xu Bai, you should use that power sparingly. Have you noticed that each time you use it, your personality shifts towards someone else?"

"You become silent, calm, and absolutely rational. That's not like you."

A gentle voice came from within the green cauldron, though its tone was serious.

Xu Bai frowned and asked, "Who is that person?"

"The Green Emperor!"

The voice from the cauldron was firm and powerful.

Xu Bai fell silent.

The cauldron spirit continued, "Also, I am missing three souls, yet despite our

Xiong Dabao, new to the scene, wanted to challenge various experts but was stopped by his master, who hung him up on Martial Arts Island and confiscated all his liquor.

In front of Xiong Dabao, Yu Jianqiu drank all the liquor dry.

Xiong Dabao cried out loud, unable to break free, and was left hanging to dry.

On this day, Xu Hei came knocking.

"Senior Yu, I'd like to ask for your help in crafting a sword," Xu Hei said straightforwardly.

"A sword? You can use a sword?" Yu Jianqiu asked with a half-smile, taking a sip of wine, "What kind of sword do you want?"

Without a word, Xu Hei laid out all the precious materials he had acquired before Yu Jianqiu.

From the star meteorite iron of Wuyou City to the Xuanjin Wall of the Immortal Pavilion's treasury, and even heavy oil, anything that could be used to forge a flying sword was placed before him.

Many of these were stolen goods, easily traceable, but Xu Hei didn't hide anything. In front of Yu Jianqiu, there was no need for concealment, and the latter wouldn't investigate either.
