Sounds of explosions rocked the entire training complex, and most athletes, fighters, and coaches found themselves unable to see clearly what is happening, yet also unable to look away. Dazzling figures danced around the battlefield with blurry afterimages of their movements dotted all across, and each of the individual strikes, hits, and clashes create blasts of air and shock waves that made the sparring battlefield look like a stage straight out of a video game.

In the midst of combat were Bones and Freya, and when Freya said she would make it up to Bones, she wasn't kidding in the slightest. Before the sparring practice begun, Freya offered to get Bones in a combat-ready suit, but he declined, assuming that his skills in combination with his enhancements from the empowered ink would be enough to at least hold on with Freya.

He was dead wrong.

Compared to the majority of the opponents that Bones have faced before, Freya was a completely different beast. Usually, Bones is able to manage with his incredible martial arts skills that are used in conjunction with his superhuman athleticism at his Escalation 1 stage, and yet...Freya was absolutely dominant in this fight.

When channeling their powers, Bones had pulses of light energy flowing all throughout the various tattoo paths on his body, and that's what gives him the enhanced speed, power, agility, and just general athleticism. For Freya, she instead wraps tethers of light around her body while reaching out with a few like tendrils and probing onto Bones. 

It didn't take long for him to realize the purpose of those outreaching tendrils either. Similarly to how Bones tried to use the outreaching tattoo ink to sense where Kron's time-tearing attacks are coming from, Freya is also using those tendrils of energy to sense incoming attacks and react accordingly, however, that wasn't the only thing.

'What is your power, really?' Bones asked as Freya charged in with a flurry of punches while a few of the tendrils reached out and locked onto Bones' wrists. It felt like a few steel cables were wrapped around him, but Bones easily moved his body and torso in the exact sequence, avoiding all of Freya's punches but not the blasts of air that accompanied them.
'I will tell you if you win!' Freya said, spinning and kicking through Bones when he pivoted around her and struck her in the back with a palm strike. 

Before his hand made contact, Freya's body rigidly shifted forward, almost as if an invisible hand has displaced her out of harm's way. It was those tendrils again.

'You are very skilled.' Bones said, chasing after Freya as she spun around in mid-air kicked a piece of ground material towards him. 
'Is that supposed to be a trash talk?' Freya laughed, landing and springing back forward, chasing after the flying piece of debris.

Bones vaulted over it easily when Freya caught him off guard as she sends a fist forward, intending to win the round on this hit. As her callused knuckles inched closer and closer to Bones' nose, a smile crept onto her face.

'I win!' She declared when Bones reached out with one of his arms and prepared to parry the attack. Seeing through his intentions, she paused the punch abruptly, shifting her body's momentum and catching Bones off guard. 

Turning her fist into a claw, she gripped onto Bones's arm and pulled him close before slamming him into the ground. As the earth shattered and smoke settled, Freya stood with a knee on Bones' chest and a fist in his face.

'You win...' Bones admitted. In her Escalation 1 state, she is simply way too physically strong, and it matters not that Bones can catch her off guard with his skillful movements if she can easily compensate for any advantages he had, 'that is you win this round.'

'That's my date!' Freya cracked a smile, reached out a hand, and helped him up. When their hands are in contact with one another, they also felt the warmth coming from each other, as well as the callused interior.

'But I don't suppose you can tell me how your power...'
'NOPE!'

They took a break as the staff at the training facility began restoring the conditions of the battlefield. Freya in her Escalation 1 is scary enough, and Bones cannot even imagine how physically imposing she would be in her Escalation 2. During their spar, Bones can tell that she was being completely serious with her sharp movements and precise attacks. Though Bones is able to read the majority of her attacks, many still landed on him.

'Alright, ready?' Bones asked, putting the water bottle down when his shirt peeled off his body as pieces of broken fabric, revealing his well-built physique and the dark lines of tattoo that ran all over his lean body. Freya caught herself staring at Bones' sexily defined midsection for a while until Bones waved a hand in front of her.

'Alright.....read...ready, yes.' Freya nodded quickly, wiping away something at the corner of her lips reached out with one hand to touch Bones' torso, 'You are much bigger than I thought you are....'

'What.....' Bones felt blood rush to his head, and he almost tripped himself over, 'what do you mean!'

'No.....nothing...Let's fight like this.'
'I would much prefer wearing something!' Bones protested, but Freya wasn't hearing any of it, 'you said I could wear a combat-ready suit!'
'Too late! You have already committed!' Freya said, wagging her finger with a smug look on her face as she glanced over towards Bones crutch, 'unless you beat me this round.'

God damn.

'Escalation 2.....Ink Extended!'
'Escalation 2! Valkyrie stance, full local control!'

Bones' body flashed a light when all of the tattoos on his body came to life and they became outreaching dark tendrils of their own. With spikes all around his body, he elevated himself off the ground and looked on at Freya, who turned the strands of light that were loosely covering her body into a full suit of armor with strands of light extending out in all directions from her. In that armor, her lush long red hair flowed behind her as if she is an angel.

In comparison, Bones looked like a demon summoned from hell.

And today, the demon from hell is going to fight for his right to wear a combat-ready suit.

Propelling himself forward like a bullet with the ink tendrils, Bones rode his forward momentum as he charged forward at Freya. He intended to finish the second bout of sparring as quickly as possible just so he can get dressed ASAP. It's not that he gets embarrassed by being topless, but around Freya, he gets...nervous.

Not when he is fighting for his rights though. 

As Bones got nearer and nearer to Freya, he also tripped over more and more of her tendrils of light, which gives Freya the perfect information to form her counter attack. Compared to Bones who uses deduction and libraries of experience to form his counter-strategies, Freya's power allows her to collect and analyze information from the battlefield around her on the go, making her an absolutely formidable fighter in the professional fighting scene.

Moving aside just enough, Freya mirrored the way Bones moved with maximum efficiency before countering with a slam from above when Bones mechanically shifted sideways and moved out.

'Oh? So you have the same power too?' Freya said, landing on the ground, planting hard, and chased after Bones with two quick steps. Then, she clashed with Bones as he spun around in place with a lateral swing of his fist. Freya parried it easily with a thick strand of her light before she tried to grab onto Bones's body, only for it to continuously slip away. Then, as Bones tried to counter with strikes to Freya's body, only for her to evade it.

If their first battle was a clash of fists and a constant beat down, then their second fight is more like an exchange of two masters with both being able to precisely detect each other's movements with slightly different manifestations of their powers.

'I will tell you more if you beat me this round!' Bones said with a smile, and as he prepared for the next attack, Freya suddenly appeared behind him with blinding speed before Bones can even turn around!

'Valkyrie SLAM!' Freya said, bringing both fists together and smashed down, snapping through the ink tendrils of Bones before he can even make a prediction of what she is going to do. That is also confirmed with Freya's information control, knowing that Bones does NOT have adequate information to react to her attack, he definitely does not have the durability of Ally which allows her to tank Freya's attacks.

The strike connected with Bones' body, and he was slammed into the ground like a volleyball that is without bounce.

'Ou.....ouchh....' Bones said, struggling to dig himself out of the human-shaped hole he made on the ground, 'you are just too.....overpowered...Freya...'

Dispelling her Valkyrie's Armor of light, Freya landed next to Bones and checked on his injuries. She made sure to pull back her strength at the last moment as to not injure Bones seriously, but the impact is still clearly felt, and when Bones pushed himself away from the ground, he looked like he went for a tumble in the dirt.

'I need a shower...and some ice packs.....' Bones said, and Freya lets out a relieved chuckle before she reached forward and helped him up, holding on to his body with her hand and helping him out of the battlefield.

Freya can feel Bones' fast beating heart as their body pressed against one another, and she didn't say anything, as her heart is also skipping a beat. Instead, she simply tugged Bones closer to her and enjoyed the moments of physical contact.

Londres, residencia Granger.
Monica Granger y Wendell Granger estan felices de que su hija decidiera pasar navidad con ellos, antes habian recibido una carta por medio de lechuza donde Hermione les decia que la pasaria con sus amigos, ya que estudiarian juntos para los EXTASIS.
Pero repentinamente aparecio en casa.
Hermione: Mama el libro dice que son 15 gotas de vino
Monica Granger: no todas las respuestas están en los libros hija.
Monica Granger vaciaba una botella de Vino en el pavo.
Monica Granger: por que decidiste venir hija, tu carta decía que la pasarías con tus amigos.
Hermione: los extrañe y me he dado cuenta de que no paso mucho tiempo con ustedes.
En su mente Hermione recuerda el verdadero motivo.
-----------
Dias antes de que empiecen las vacaciones de navidad, Hermione habia tratado de que Harry y Ron entablaran una amistad con Sasuke pero era imposible ya que para ellos Slytherin significaba el mal, igual para los miembros de ED por ese motivo ningún Slytherin fue invitado.
Hermione habia recibido una invitación por parte de la Sra. Weasley para pasar Navidad con ellos, en el cuartel de la orden del Fenix.
Hermione sonríe porque tiene una idea, y sale de la común para encontrar a Sasuke.
Mientras avanzaba su idea era la de invitar a Sasuke para pasar navidad con Harry, Ron y la orden, asi se serian amigos ya que tanto el como la orden luchan contra Voldemort, en vez de estar en distintos bandos lo mejor seria estar en un solo.
Justo Sasuke salía caminaba por el vestíbulo.
Hermione: Sasuke puedo hablar un momento contigo.
Sasuke: habla rápido no tengo mucho tiempo
Hermione: quieres pasar navidad conmigo, Harry, Ron, Ginny,.
Sasuke: espera no pasaras Navidad con tus padres.
Hermione: No, pero ya les pedi permiso y ellos comprendieron. 
Sasuke: deberías pasarla con tus padres, con tus amigos pasas casi todo el año con ellos, y con tus padres poco tiempo, cuando no estén lamentaras no haber pasado mas tiempo con ellos ademas si algo sucede tu seras la única que podrá protegerlos, Voldemort aun sigue libre.
Hermione noto como si Sasuke estuviera hablando de el mismo, pero eso no tenia sentido según las investigaciones sus padres están vivos a no ser que.
Hermione: Sasuke tus padres.
Sasuke: mis padres pasaran navidad y año nuevo conmigo.
Hermione: entiendo.
Sasuke se despide de Hermione, en su mente tengo que darme prisa me están esperando en la sala de los menesteres.
---------
Cuando los padres de Hermione están en la sala, ella abre su bolso extensible y de el saca dos regalos que los esconde en el armario.
Despues saca su varita y lanza varios hechizos protectores sobre su casa.
Hermione en su mente no esta de mas prevenir.
---------------
Londres, Residencia Bones.
Sasuke y la ministra Bones por medio de la red Flu llegaron a la mansión Bones.
Susan Bones: Sasuke llegaste.
Sasuke: hola
Susan Bones: vamos quiero que conozcas a mis padres.
Susan arrastro a Sasuke al recibidor.
Amelia Bones en su mente Susan te olvidaste saludar a tu tia, y eso que soy yo la dueña de la casa.
Amelia da un suspiro y los sigue.
Susan: Mama, Papa quiero presentarles a Sasuke Uchiha.
Jhonatan Bones: un gusto Sr. Uchiha, Jhonatan Bones
Martha Bones: tambien es un placer conocerlo Sr. Uchiha, Martha Bones
Jhonatan Bones: una vez mas gracias por salvar la vida de mi hija y de mi prima.
Martha Bones: estamos muy agradecidos.
Sasuke: de nada
Martha Bones: asi que Sr. Uchiha mi hija me dijo que esta en la casa de Slytherin, como lo tratan sus compañeros.
Sasuke: bien, al principio hubo una diferencia pero se corrigio rápidamente
Amelia y Jhonatan Bones ya se imaginan como lo arreglo, imaginan los que quisieron hacerse los listos con el lo lamentaran hasta ahora.
Martha Bones: es bueno oírlo
Susan Bones: Sasuke quieres quedarte hasta años nuevo.
Sasuke: no, antes de que llegue la media noche me ire a mi casa mis padres me están esperando.
Susan Bones: ya veo.
Amelia Bones: Susan por que no le muestras a Sasuke el Jardin.
Susan Bones: si tia, ven Sasuke sígueme veras los tipos de plantas que tenemos.
------
Amelia Bones: y que les parecio.
Martha Bones: es un chico encantador.
Jhonatan Bones: Amelia confias plenamente en el.
Amelia Bones: lo dices por ser un Slytherin verdad
Jhonatan Bones: si
Amelia Bones: al principio tenia mis dudas, lo mande a investigar tambien con ayuda de los ministerios de magia de Japon y China, pero es 100% muggle.
Jhonatan Bones: ya veo, pero creo que debería tener un acuerdo con Dumbledore, en caso de que te equivoques con el.
Amelia Bones: confio mas en Sasuke Uchiha que en Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore siempre esta lleno de secreto es un experto manipulador, le encanta ser siempre el maestro del juego.
Jhonatan Bones: aun no lo perdonas por lo de Edgard Bones, debes entender que no fue su culpa.
Amelia Bones: claro que lo fue, tu no lo entiendes como piensa el, sacrificaría a cualquiera con solo llegar a su metas, me entere que el es un legilimens, asi que el pudo haber identificado a Pettigrew como traidor.
Jhonatan Bones: Pettigrew solo traiciono a los Potter
Amelia Bones: te equivocas el ya los habia traicionado cuando se unio a su orden del fénix, para mi el sabia del ataque y lo permitio para que mas magos se unan en su cruzada contra Voldemort.
Jhonatan Bones: no hablas en serio, Dumbledore es un mago blanco
Amelia Bones: ponte a pensar en su frase por el bien mayor, no te da a entender que estaría dispuesto a sacrificar a cualquiera por sus objetivos.
Martha Bones: no puede ser
Amelia Bones: con el Sr. Uchiha hemos trazado planes sin ocultarnos nada por eso confio en el.
Jhonatan Bones: por eso llegaron tarde estaban planeando algo
Amelia Bones: si, encontramos la manera de encontrar a los 5 mortifagos prófugos, despues acabaremos con Voldemort.
Martha y Jhonatan se quedaron asustados al escuchar el nombre de Voldemort.
Los Bones y Sasuke cenaron, y conversaron sobre sus días en Hogwarts, recordando sus anécdotas.
Sasuke miro la hora, y se levanta.
Sasuke: creo que es hora de irme
Amelia Bones: gracias por haber venido Sr. Uchiha
Martha y Jhonatan Bones: gracias tambien por haber venido
Amelia Bones: Susan puedes traer las 4 cajas largas que se encuentran debajo del árbol.
Susan Bones: si tia.
Amelia Bones: esperaba entregarte tus katanas en la media noche pero creo que ahora es el mejor momento.
Jhonatan Bones: katanas
Amelia Bones: espadas japonesas que me encargo para que los duendes la fabricaran.
Martha Bones: acero de duende, como la espada de Godric Griffindor
Jhonatan Bones: te debe haber costado muchos galeones
Amelia Bones: no lo pague yo, lo pago el Sr. Uchiha.
Los padres de Susan lo miraban asombrados no esperaban que fuera tan rico.
Susan trajo las cajas y se la entrego a Sasuke.
Los demás miran como sasuke abre una de las cajas.
Martha, Jhonatan, y Susan obsevan con un poco de decepcion la katana, ya que si la comparan con la espada de Gryffindor que tiene rubies incrustados y es mas llamativa.
Sasuke sostiene la hoja de la katana con su dedo.
Sasuke: Balance perfecto, repele el polvo, y tiene un brillo distintivo diferente a los metales comunes.
Sasuke lanza al aire la katana y al mover su mano logra guardar la katana en su funda.
Sasuke: Ministra tienes al para cortar.
Amelia no esperaba esa pregunta pero despues de un rato responde.
Amelia Bones: cerca al estanque hay una roca.
Sasuke: bien
Todos salen al estanque donde observan una roca pequeña cerca a la orilla y otra roca de 2 metros de alto, en medio del estanque.
Sasuke decide caminar sobre el agua acercandose a la roca.
Los demás están con la boca abierta, pensando que hechizo permite caminar sobre el agua.
Sasuke con un movimiento rápido desenfunda su katana y la guarda para regresar a la orilla.
Jhonatan piensa que acaba de pasar, pero de un momento a otro la roca de parte en dos, el corte fue limpio, dejando a todos estupefactos.
Sasuke: ya es hora de irme, gracias por las katanas 
Sasuke de su bolsillo saca un traslador y desaparece.
-----------------
Los días pasaron y ya era año nuevo.
Cokeworth, Spinner's End
En el sotano de una casa, se encontraba Snape en medio de un círculo mágico.
Mientras activa unas runas que empezaron a brillar, el brillo duro unos 15 minutos pero de pronto se apagaron.
Snape en su mente, todavía no consigo que dure más el efecto de las runas, necesito mas energía pero ya he tomado pociones fortalecedoras.
Snape se dice necesito encontrar una fuente de energía más poderosa para igualar la energía vital de los gigantes.
Snape vuelve a tomar la poción fortalecedora y vuelve a modificar las runas para calcular el tiempo de brillo de las runas.
Por otro lado:
Sasuke tambien estaba probando los artefactos magicos en su casa, estos artefactos evitaría que voldemort escapara y se volviera intangible (volviéndose niebla)
Los artefacto magicos empiezan a  brillar
Sasuke: winki activa el traslador
Winki: si maestro
Winki toma el traslador, pero pasaron 30 minutos y nada.
Sasuke: Beta y alfa tomen los trasladores tambien.
Alfa y Beta: si maestro.
Pero de pronto las runas de los artefactos magicos empezaron a apagarse, al apagarse los trasladores se activaron y los tres elfos desaparecieron.
Sasuke: otro fracaso.
----------------
Snape y Sasuke: necesito encontrar una nueva fuente de energía, una mas duradera.
Despues de tanto meditar ambos sonrien, su mente grita eso es, esa es la clave porque no lo pensé antes.

Sasuke en la batalla final con naruto, en el ataque final de ambos se abre un portal debido al choque de ondas de ying y yang de ambos absorbiendo a uno de ellos. 
Ahora llega a un mundo donde el se convierte en el otro niño que vivió
PD: No soy dueño de Harry Potter, JK Rowling sí.

Now frantically backing away Lex realised the situation he was in. He was faced with an enemy that is impossible to beat at his current strength, with no escape to be found.

Lex could see him clearly, now that Bones had fully emerged from the shadowy void. His greyish, engraved, battle-worn skull struck fear into Lex's heart. Bones stood proudly and walked with confidence puffing out the chest plate that had been through countless battles.

Bones' large shoulder pads screeched in fear each time he moved, almost begging to be free of their torment. Bones dragged his greatsword in one arm cutting through the geometric patterns of the ground as he approached Lex.

Standing proudly in front of the now too scared to move Lex. Bones' gauntlets tightened around the worn handle of the greatsword as he lifted the greatsword above his head.

"You. Are. Not. The. KING" Bones roared as he slammed the greatsword to where Lex once was.

As the greatsword came crashing down into the centre of the room it created a small crater that obliterated the geometric pattern of the floor causing it to be unrecognisable.

'Emergency Quest: Defeat Bones The Exiled in battle.
Failure (Death)
Reward (5000 EXP, 15 Points to Spend and ???)
***

'WHAT? You must be insane! Did you not just see what he did?' Lex inwardly yelled the monstrous display of power was now etched within his mind. If he was to beat him Lex needed to think of a strategy.

'He may be extremely strong but that doesn't matter if he can't hit me right?' Lex knew that his Agility was higher as be managed to avoid his first attack, but he didn't know if he could kill Bones before tiring himself out.

After thinking about it Lex came up with a seemingly foolproof strategy, Bones clearly had intelligence since he could speak. Lex decided he should put his plan into action as soon as possible as Bones was now approaching him.

"Hey! hey hey! How about? you use that crazy strong power of yours to break open that exit for me, so I can leave you alone and never come back!?" Lex blurted out as he pointed to the entrance that had closed itself.

Bones stopped in his tracks as this caught him completely off guard. "You, feebleminded fool. I will enjoy ENDING YOU." Bones yelled in response as he sprinted towards Lex even faster than before.

Lex was able to track Bones' movements very clearly even though he was moving quicker than before. 'I managed to do it, I can now see how fast he truly is.' Lex's plan worked perfectly, now with a gauge on how strong the opponent was he could make an assumption about Bones' power.

'Bones is level 15 since I can follow his movements quite well I can place his Agility at roughly 10. That would mean his Strength is at 35.' Lex shuddered at the thought of this.

Bones swung his greatsword at Lex's neck attempting to end the battle in one blow. Lex proceeded to duck and kick the inside of Bones' Leg, the impact of the kick threw off his balance.

Using this time Lex dashed backwards. 'I can definitely injure him if I time it correctly I don't want to get reckless. I won't be able to deal too much damage to him if I get too injured or run out of stamina.

Bones was infuriated, the coward who wanted to flee combat just made him look like an amateur. Not wanting to be humiliated Bones used his skill.

Lex looked at the now red Bones. 'That's not good he just enraged I think I pushed it too far.'

Enrage was a very rare skill amongst monsters, It caused all of their stats to be doubled for 5 minutes. It was usually used as a last resort for monsters. 

Players had the same skill available but it was required to be learnt through the class Berserker. The skill was called Berserk and also doubled your stats for 5 minutes.

However, there was a massive drawback to this skill, after the 5 minutes were up all of your stats would be halved for 24 hours. This was a big reason why the class Berserker wasn't the most popular among players with only one being in the top 10 of all players.

'There is no way I brought him anywhere close to death, so Bones must be extremely provoked.'

Bones was now sprinting towards Lex with rivalling speed, Bones swung his greatsword at Lex's chest. Lex was slightly caught off guard by the increase of speed and only barely managed to block the impact with his two shortswords.

***

Lex was thrown into the wall from the impact of the blow, his shortswords starting to crack from blocking the hit. He had just lost two durability on both of his swords another slip up would completely shatter his shortswords. 

'This is gonna be a very painful experience.' Lex barely managed to land on the ground, almost not regaining his balance. Bones followed up his attack and again attempting to hit Lex in the chest with his greatsword.

Lex barely managed to lean back avoiding the potentially fatal blow from Bones. The greatsword plunged deep into the wall, so much so that it gave Lex time to flee to the opposite side of the room. He watched as Bones struggled to set the sword free.

Stamina: 83/100

'I need to buy as much time as possible, there's no way I'll survive with constant combat.' Lex was silently hoping that Bones would never set his sword free.

Bones freed his greatsword and charged at Lex again with killing never fluttering killing intent each step seeming to get louder and more powerful as bones came closer. Lex started to dodge the strike by once again leaning back to avoid contact.

Bones was ready for this, he flipped his sword so that the blade was facing down and pulled the sword breaking through Lex's armour and cutting Lex's chest, at the cost of losing grip of his greatsword.

Leather Armour 
(0/10) Durability
Health: 30/140 (-2 Health per 30sec)

Lex fell to the ground, his armour falling along with him. Bones let go of his greatsword seeing that the battle was over, his greatsword flung across the now almost demolished room.

Lex laid in pain groaning barely being able to move as Bones walked toward his greatsword.

'I guess I failed, it'll be over soon.'

Health: 24/140 (-2 Health per 30sec)

Bones walked over to the slowly dying Lex preparing to end his life.

Health: 20/140 (-2 Health per 30sec)

"You are not worthy to be King." Bones said in a cold tone as he lifted his greatsword above his head.

Lex leaned backwards dodging Bones' sword, 'I can still dodge.' Lex thought as he felt time move in slow motion.

The attack was a lot closer than Lex expected it to be, there didn't seem to be that much of a difference in their Agility, 'If I get too reckless and lose a lot of my stamina, this could be really bad.' Lex thought as he gritted his teeth.

He sprinted across the room, 'I need to buy time every second counts!' Lex thought to himself as he passed the halfway point of the room.

The room was quite it was a 15m by 15m area, reaching one side wouldn't buy Lex a lot of time but he needed to survive this battle.

'I can't fight him in equal terms he'll overpower me, I have to buy time.' Lex thought as his back touched the wall.

Bones followed Lex screaming "YOU. COWARD." The entire time. 'If he had a voicebox he would have ended up hurting himself more than me...' Led thought with an annoyed expression.

Bones came towards Lex with a full swing aimed at just under his shoulders. Lex jumped away from the swing while keeping his eyes on Bones.

As Bones' greatsword dug deep into the wall it became harder for Bones to carry on with the momentum.

Lex backed away from Bones, who was struggling to get his greatsword out of the wall, as he saw the message that appeared Infront of him.

Optional Quest: Defeat Bones The Exile
Failure: Death
Rewards: 1500 EXP & ???

'WHAT! Did you see what he just did? That wall barely stopped him...' Lex thought to himself in a panic, he wanted to outlive Bones and possibly run away from him, not fight him.

'Either way, I have to fight him.' Lex quickly thought with a disgruntled expression to himself after considering the rewards he would gain from the quest would help him beat the boss.

Bones was probably the closest thing to this Dungeon Boss' strength, meaning that if he could beat Bones even by a little bit he could grow strong enough to conquer the Dungeon.

Bones left this greatsword, which was plunged deep into the wall, and started running towards Lex.

'He left his greatsword!?' Lex thought as he jumped back narrowly avoiding the haymaker that was thrown towards Lex's face, he had gotten too focused on thinking rather than fighting.

Health: 113/140

Lex went on the defensive for quite a while only taking a few blows to the shoulders and ribcage against Bones. 'I need to start attacking, he'll win if this carries on.' Lex thought as he put his swords in an X shape covering the centre of his body as Bones stuck them directly.

As the punch landed the blades cracked slightly and Bones' moments seemed to slow down. Lex saw his opportunity and began attacking back slashing at Bones' neck hoping to damage his skeletal body.

Lex advanced as Bones backed away dodging most of Lex's attacks skillfully whilst moving towards his nearby greatsword. Lex slashed with his right hand barely scratching Bones' chest piece and creating a high pitched squeal sound as his shortsword and Bones' chest piece collided.

Lex moved the shortsword around in his hand so that that hilt was facing Bones and extended his hand back towards his opponent once more.

Bones dodged the attack causing Lex to hit the hilt of his greatsword slightly dislodging it from its original place. Seeing what had happened Lex jumped back a couple of times keeping his eyes on Bones who was feeding his greatsword.

'Damn, I fell for his trap.' Lex thought as he tried to put as much distance between them as possible.

"You fight well for a coward." Bones stated as he barreled towards Lex who could feel the killing intent almost overwhelm him. Bones began his barrage of attacks within milliseconds of reaching Lex.

'Damn, his enrage will wear off soon but will I survive it?' Lex thought as he struggled to block or avoid each attack.

Health: 83/140

'This isn't good, I'm struggling to see his movements.' Lex thought as he felt a massive shadow cover his face.

Bones' sword swiftly came down onto Lex's body.

After a long day, a young man called Lex found himself barely awake on top of his bed.

'What is this place?'

Puzzled Lex starts to believe someone kidnapped him, but what really happened?

After Joker saved Elliot from being strangled to death and cried to Bones,Bones gave her a choice to continue walking this path or abandon it.Elliot decided to continue and wants bones to teach her magic.

Are we there yet? Elliot whined,Yes bones said,Finally some Action! Exclaimed Elliot.They arrived at the museum in the human realm and the one who Owned it welcomed them in.madame rose said thank you we have been attacked by some strange creatures recently and we need your help Bones and your associate?

My name is Elliot and I'm his partner Elliot said.Cute Madame rose sarcastically,where is Ichibod? Madame rose asked he's recovering at the moment bones answered.

Sigh oh well I was excited to meet him again Madame rose said disappointedly.Elliot whispered to bones she's really rude and how does she know about you guys? She's human!?So bones said did you think you were the only human who knew magic existed?

No but why her!? Just deal with it bones said. Anyway Madame rose said enough chit chat,the monsters only appear when it's night time and I hope that's a clue for you to figure out what it is.

Bones said Madame there's a lot of creatures that live off of night time,vampires,werewolf's,Red snakes,Zombies and even mummies.can you tell me what the creatures is?its like a ghost but it becomes paper and then it becomes a soldier made out of paper, then it can morph into weapons and can move through objects.

Huh so it's not a monster then bones said ,huh? Elliot said,well bones said I've never heard of a creature that can do something as complex as that,monsters on that level would have to be Godzilla level and the human realm would already be dead by now because the sizes of Godzilla level would be gigantic but have either simple or complex powers,no other monster level has monsters who have complex abilities.

So what is then? madame rose said it's either people with magic who is doing this or it is a monster that can shape shift or posses thing but it doesn't make any sense that it can move through objects bones said,then they heard a strange sound and decided to go to it and there it was the strange creature.

It was slightly visible but It glowed red and it touched a piece of paper and merged with it, it looked like a swordsman made out of paper and he created a sword out of nowhere and placed it on the ground and it disappeared,And reappeared behind Madame rose and before it could even slash her back Elliot pushed her out of the way and bones whispered the "will of fire connect to my soul and the extension of it"he then pulled out a gun and fired multiple bullets at the paper swordsman but the fire didn't affect the swordsman at all.

What!?Bones questioned,the swordsman sword disappeared again and reappeared in front of bones and the sword changed Into a bunch of paper arms and wrapped around bones body.

Then the paper tried to crush bones and bones said you do realise that I'm made of just bone and your made of paper right?the swordsman looked at its sword and picked up a piece of broken marble from the floor and placed it into the hilt of the sword and it became marble,bones was being crushed in unimaginable pain,his skull was gaining cracks and Elliot quickly turned on the fire alarm and rain was pouring on the paper swordsman.

However instead of the water soaking up the paper,red lighting was appearing around him and the swordsman screamed loudly.the marbled sword melted onto the ground and bones fell Down painfully.

Thanks bones said the paper swordsman shifted and changed into a core of red energy and bones realised what it is,it's a conjurer that's doing this bones said, a what? Madame rose questioned.

A conjurer bones replied it's a mage that uses a object and fills it up with magic then they can use that to conjure and create there own monster.For example,like this orb filled with nothing,someone filled it up with magic and created it using materials like a ghost remanent,it's used to posses and absorb people and the other materials are probably paper and ta da here's your monster.A fake looking ghost filled that can transform into paper and other forms.

So who is controlling the monster? Elliot questioned,controlling a monster this simple,means the range isn't far bones said,hey remember when I taught you the magic eye technique,yeah Elliot said,good bones said use it,the magic object should have mana strings that you can only see using the technique,right Elliot said.

She closed her eyes again and saw the red strings around the orb,we followed the strings all the way down in a basement. They opened the basements rusty doors and went downstairs,Elliot asked madame rose to what's inside the basement? Madame said historical books that couldn't fit in the main museum,oh and a invisible vault that only mages can see,filled with magic books and cursed artefacts.

You could of told me that! Elliot exclaimed that seemed something really important to tell me.Sorry Bones said I forgot to mention.they finally arrived at the basement,it was dark and smelled old,dust was filled every where and cob webs kept getting in everyone's way.

Bones told them to hide,and they saw three mysterious men touching a vault and one of them whispering something,bones said so a whisperer,a conjurer and a third one.

Hurry it up shouted one of the men and another men said we have company.come out! Exclaimed one of the men.bones and Elliot came out but not madame Rose.

The three men laughed and said look who it is bones the soulless S Rank hunter,bones stared at the men and said who are you guys again?What!? You don't remember us! One of the men loudly whispered to the man who was shouting saying dude we're wearing cloaks so people couldn't see our faces.

Oh right I forgot about that,the three men got rid of their cloaks in a dramatic fashion,saying dramatically now you will remember us! Bones stared intensely to the three men and said I still don't know you guys?

HOW!??? We fought you 3 years ago and we lost against you,so? Bones said I don't remember people I defeated easily,I have a short memory attention span.

Grrr Said one of the men.Maybe you will remember us if we show off our hunter titles,I am Steve the object hunter B Rank,I am kyle the elemental immunity hunter D Rank and I am Philip the link hunter E Rank!

Bones then laughed saying I still don't remember you guys! GRRRR said Steve,fine then remember THIS!!! Steve then placed a dead snake onto the ground,poured magic into and took out of his fanny pack,bottled lighting and placed it inside the snake.

The snake started glowing with red energy and lighting wrapped around it.

Multiple snakes appeared out of nowhere and started hissing lighting at bones but he threw a random potion onto the ground and a barrier was created.the lightening got reflected by the barrier and attacked the snakes but it had no effect.

Bones whispered"clean,clean in holy water,bathe in purification"and snakes of water appeared and   hissed at the red snakes and attacked them but Philip and Kyle laughed.Philip whispered"link,link the soul of Kyle and the red snakes energy.kyle then said make me immune to water! And the water snakes attack had no affect on the red snakes.

Three men laughed and said how do you like our combo! You physically can't beat us! The red snakes attacked with more red lighting and then the barrier was starting to disappear.

Bones thought to himself how could all of us get out of this situation!? So Philip is a whisperer who links peoples power together,that means Kyle a ability user who is immune to elemental effects is being linked with the creature.

That means if I damage Kyle then I damage the snake since there souls are linked together.also ability users the more complex the ability the more complex the weakness but this is simple it's just immunity over elements so what the weakness!? Wait Bones remembered before the paper creature was immune to fire and got damaged by water and instead of the paper being affected it was the monster in general.

So if he's immune to water that means he's affected by lighting.Bones shouted to Steve you know what STEVE,WHAT! Steve shouted back,you know what's funny,I fought all of you 3 years ago and yet I forgot how to defeat y'all I guess you really were that forgettable.

GRRR Steve's face was furious and he commanded the snake to attack bones,Steves comrades shouted NO! The snakes attacked the barrier and the attack got reflected back and attacked the snake and the snake spazzed out and disappeared.

Kyle also spazzed out and collapsed.Philip coughed up a lot off blood and fainted and Steve felt too weak from summoning too much and eventually he collapsed.

After that Madame rose thanked Bones for defeating the three scoundrels and thanked Elliot for saving her life from that paper swordsman.Then Bones took three hunters to the hunter association,so there title can get stripped from them and to be questioned for why and what were they stealing.

The magic adventures of a S rank hunter name Bones who is a skeleton detective and hunts down and kills monster with his partner Elliot

When they landed on the mountain a little off from where Sam killed the alligator beast they heard an animal roar. Sam turned to his friends, are you all ready for this? Steve and Vera nodded while bones and Luke looked on, they might be strong but they have never fought a beast before. Luke followed the school rule of only doing that during the final year of school. while bones had never thought of fighting a beast. Vera you will be the first to fight, remember you have to use all i have taught you. The beast you are fighting might be at leak rank two but it is a rhino so has very strong defence. please do not underestimate it's attack power it can be devastating. your performance will determine if I will give you a movement technique. Bones when Vera engages the rhino you will go with me to fight the second rhino at the cave so it does not come and join the one Vera is fighting.then he turned to the owl, you will watch over Vera and make sure she is safe. After walking for ten miles they came across the rhino.
                Vera drew her sword and went over to the rhino. she attacked swiftly and with her might but to her surprise her sword bounced off the rhinos body. Vera was shocked, soon the rhino breath fire out of its nostrils, Vera had to quickly dodge to the side before she could understand what was happening. she saw the rhino charging at her. she was immediately sent flying, I think I need that movement technique from Sam. she thought back to what Sam had told her she was better of making a shield than sword. Vera quickly condensed a round and thick ice shield with spikes. the shield floated in front of Vera. After that she took a healing pill. let get this done with quickly she condensed another shield like the first allowing it float beside thne first one. The rhino rushed at Vera determined to stump her to the ground. Vera quickly directed the shield to intercept the way of the beast the collusion was loud and this stoped the rhino on it's tracks. immediately Vera controlled the second shield to smash the rhino from the left while she attacked the rhino from the right. The beast could not see Vera because of the shield it collided with, vera slashed with her sword and retreated to the back of the rhino before the shield smashed into the left side of the rhino sending it flying. the rhino roared out of anger and pain and it's roar was answered from far away by another beast. it was slightly injured because of its thick and hard skin but some of it bones at the left side were cracked.
                 Sam told Vera to remember improving her sword technique while fighting with the beast then he asked bones to follow him they needed to intercept the other rhino, so the two of them set off. Sam and bones ran down the mountain and intercepted the second rhino by the river. Bones it is all yours, make sure to kill it with that Sam stood aside to let bones engage the rhino. bones being a good sword man went straight to attack, what he didn't anticipate was the high defence of the rhino. bones was sent flying, bones immediately formed exoskeleton to protect himself. A huge hole was formed where bones landed, bones quickly jumped out of the hole and took a stand. he formed sharp bones and made them protrude out of his exoskeleton. it acted as a deterrent to the rhino, the rhino itself wanting to pair up with its mate did not care for the deterrent. bones was blown away again, he had it much worse this time as he vomited blood. The rhino threw itself at bones which caused his present injury. Bones took some healing pills but the rhino decided not to give bones a breathing space. Sam had to intervene, he hit the rhino with the spear sending the rhino flying. Sam then spoke to bones, you have to learn to adapt to situations. You do not have to fight beasts thesame way you fight humans.
                  Sam took out a sword and attacked the rhino while bones watched on. Sam side stepped the rhino as they were about to collide. As he side stepped the rhino he went down on his kneels and slashed the inside legs of the rhino. causing the rhino to collapse Sam turned to bones, did you learn anything now. the rhino struggled to stand up. Sam went towards it again and slid under the beast slicing the underneath and making it's intestines fall out. bones this is to show you there are many ways to kill a rat. You must not confront every problem frontally. always learn the weak points of your problems and dismantle it. Now clean up the beast as you will be battling another beast. Sam formed claws on his hands a pulled out the beasts heart and its core and worked to the side to cultivate while bones cleaned out the corpse. Bones be fast so we can go and see how Vera is doing.
                   Vera herself was already used to fighting beast so didn't make the kind of mistake bones made she was not having it easy but so was the beast the beast was already blinded on one eye when it misjudged veras attack. both beast and human were at a standstill, vera was breathing heavily and her hawk was at alert to intervene should things be bad. The fight had helped Vera improve she found a way to make herself levitate by standing on a piece of she formed this kept her out of the reach of the rhino whenever she found herself in a pinch but also tasked her energy. While this was happening Sam came back with bones. bones look over there, have you learnt anything. bones watched Vera battled the beast. he nodded at Sam, yes, I think I picked up a few things. what have you learnt? I have learnt to utilize my advantages to the best of my ability. I also learnt not to always charge at problems head long as strength is not all that matters,I am stronger than Vera but she is handling the beast much more than I did. Good that is a good experience for you not just for beast but when you also fight your fellow humans.
                  Bones asked Sam but why did you not ask Luke to fight a beast why me and Vera. Sam laughed bones Vera is slow at learning weapon. I have to sacrifice my training time to help her keep up with you guys but she is faster at cultivation and use of her element than you guys so this fight is to force think of ways to use her area of strenght you can see her ice shield. she also was able to think of way to get faster with her ice by looking for way to skit with it now she floats on a piece of ice. You think traning alone would have made her think of this? bones shook his head. In your case you were too arrogant and thought strength was all you needed I needed you yo see something else. Luke on the other hand is good at adapting and knows when to retreat Steve is my childhood friend he might be very lazy but he is highly intelligent. If he was in your position he would have easily killed the beast so my only bother with him is motivating him to practice and cultivate.

By the time Qiao Lian rushed out, Ancestor White Bones' cheeks were already badly swollen from the beating.
But she clenched her teeth, refusing to say a word.
The big screen outside the competition venue had a projection delay of about two minutes.
Hence when Qiao Lian walked out, the big screen was showing that CQ Team had clinched the champion title.
Ancestor White Bones was stunned.
Immediately, she broke into a grin.
They won.
Their team won.
Ancestor White Bones suddenly released her grip on the stone sculpture.
Her mother was not prepared for this situation and was stunned too.
Ancestor White Bones stood upright and suddenly jumped up with joy. "Mom, our team won!"
Her mother so surprised she was speechless.
Ancestor White Bones laughed with tears streaming down her cheeks. "They won. They no longer need me…"
After saying this, she dried her eyes against her sleeve. "Mom, I'll come home with you."
Her mother smiled when she heard this. "That's right! You're ruining your own future. Don't blame your mother for being harsh with you. What can you gain from gaming? What future is there? Come home with me and after you've made some money for your brother's wedding, I'll find you a rich—"
She grabbed Ancestor White Bones' arm and was about to lead her into the car.
Qiao Lian called out, "White Bones."
Ancestor White Bones halted and turned around sharply. As she looked at Qiao Lian, she smiled and said, "Coach, we've won."
Qiao Lian's eyes turned red and stinging. She nodded. "Yes, we've won."
Ancestor White Bones laughed.
Qiao Lian drew in a deep breath.
She understood Ancestor White Bones' family situation.
She wanted to intervene, but Ancestor White Bones' mother was right in one thing.
There was no future in gaming.
Because the golden period for a gamer was before one turned 25.
After one turned 25, one's reflexes and ability to react would not be as strong as before.
And they had established the club not for survival, but for dreams and aspirations.
She could not expect Ancestor White Bones to give up five years of her youth just to chase a dream.
Everyone had their own choices to make in life.
She looked at Ancestor White Bones and finally said, "CQ Team will always need you."
Ancestor White Bones froze and bit her lip.
She nodded to show she understood. She then quickly turned away and looked down, drying her tears.
She suddenly turned around and looked at Qiao Lian again. "Coach, I'll be back! Wait for me."
"Ok."
After these words, Ancestor White Bones' mother gave Qiao Lian a fierce glare and told her, "I'm telling you, don't tempt my daughter to play games! We are an ordinary family, we can't afford it!"
Grabbing Ancestor White Bones, she got them both into the cab.
As the cab started to drive away, the window rolled down.
Ancestor White Bones took out her hand and gave Qiao Lian a thumbs-up.
As she watched the cab drive off, merge and disappear into the sea of traffic, becoming one of those nondescript vehicles on the road, she wondered why her heart felt like it was being squeezed by a pair of invisible, giant hands.
She wondered how many youths, for the sake of chasing their own dreams, had in the end crumbled and fallen in the face of reality?
But she believed that White Bones would not bow to circumstances.
She would be back.
At this point, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind, "Mr. Sun!"
Qiao Lian paused and turned around. She saw Purple Fairy dashing out. Because she had lost the game, she was anxious and had not noticed Qiao Lian standing nearby. She immediately went up to Sun Linan, saying, "Mr. Sun, this was a slip-up! And even if we lose this competition, we can wait for the next season!"


They say the greatest blessing is marrying the idol you always dreamed of.

But Qiao Lian knows that reality is different...

The Internet claims that Best Actor Shen Liangchuan is a male god who is unaffected by any sexual drive, but Qiao Lian vehemently disagrees. It's a lie!

After finally carrying out the contract, Qiao Lian burst out, "I want a divorce! I don't want such a life!"

There are altogether 29 bones in the skull. Generally, it could be divided into three parts.
6 ossicles, 8 cerebral cranium bones, and 15 facial bones.
The cerebral cranium bones are at the back, the facial bones in front.
Having already honed his ossicles, Fang Ping chose to hone his cerebral cranium bones this time. This was mainly because he felt that he could prevent getting snuck up upon from behind. 
After honing the cerebral cranium bones, if he ever needed to make a hasty escape in the future while being hunted by others, the back of his head would have its own defense. 
The size of the 8 cerebral cranium bones was on an entirely different scale to the ossicles. 
The ossicles were the smallest bones in the human body. Judging from size alone, the bones behind the head were multiple times bigger. 
Fang Ping guessed that the consumption would be much higher than honing the ossicles. He would not be surprised.
When Fang Ping tried honing 1%, his Wealth instantly dropped by 1 million!
"It really is 10 times more!"
Fang Ping was slightly speechless. His honing consumption was getting higher every day. 
Although he claimed that he would not mind if it was ten times more and he had to consume a few billion, how could he truly just shrug this off?
"A few billion to hone the skull… Fine. I have nothing to lose!"
Fang Ping huffed. A few billion. He was really not losing much money. This was better than Old Man Li. The old man consumed so much Life Essence and had only honed the skull. Fang Ping figured that this bit of consumption was still something that he could afford. 
…
Time ticked by. 
A faint golden glow started flashing on the back of Fang Ping's head now.
As one of the most important parts of the human body, the skull was closely linked to the golden body stage. Following Fang Ping's skull-honing this time, the changes were much more significant compared to honing the ossicles last time!
"Other bones… are also changing!"
When Fang Ping finished honing a cerebral cranium, he noticed something odd. 
Following his honing, other bones seemed to be responding and cooperating from afar. At this moment, the stagnant bones were seemingly beginning to stir and resuscitate!
Last time, Fang Ping could never get his bones to emit a golden glow. 
He had only seen two non-Grandmasters emitting golden glows. One of them was Li Hansong and the other was Old Man Li who fiddled with his half-golden body. 
Both of them were special cases. As for the rest of them, even if Wang Jinyang had honed his bone marrow, he was only emitting blood-tinted glow instead of a golden glow. 
It was only now that Fang Ping realized that he was starting to emit golden light too!
"That's not right. This… could this be a sign of the imperishable substance appearing?"
Fang Ping recalled something suddenly!
Perhaps skull-honing had something to do with the birth of imperishable substance?
Fang Ping suppressed such thoughts and continued honing his skull.
As the honing went on, the changes were growing more and more significant!
When Fang Ping had completed honing three bones, the area behind his head was already a dazzling gold!
At this moment, Fang Ping was really transforming into a Buddha!
…
MCMAU southern area.
Old Man Li had just rushed over. His jaw was about to drop to the floor!
He came looking for Fang Ping, wanting to bug the kid to open up the Celestiality Cultivation Room.
But… But he could not care less about that now!
"What the hell!"
Old Man Li figured that he might as well just bang his head on the wall and die. Provided that he could die from banging his head, that was.
"He's honing his skull!"
"How is this possible!"
Old Man Li really wanted to spit blood. Just what rank was Fang Ping?
When Fang Ping first enrolled, there was really nothing too special about him. His thrice-honed bones did surprise people, though it was not like no one else had done it before.
Compared to people like Wang Jinyang, Li Hansong and Yao Chengjun, Fang Ping was not that superior either.
However, later on, Fang Ping was the first to expel his Mentality!
Then, he declared that his bone marrow had turned jade-like…Well, no one believed him then. Old Man Li scoffed at him. This bastard could trick others, but the powerhouses who had interacted with Fang Ping knew the inside story.
But very soon, Fang Ping went into the Catacombs. When he came back… he had indeed honed his bone marrow!
At that time, Old Man Li wanted to kill him so badly. It was infuriating. 
Just two days ago, when they talked about Fang Ping, the powerhouses were still making fun of him, saying that Fang Ping's brain was the only part left to hone… 
Now… this little bastard was honing his skull!
Old Man Li rubbed his eyes again and again. This was the first time he was half-convinced that he was hallucinating.
How could it be!
"No… that's not right. It is possible! Honing the skull requires Celestiality. He… He can!"
Old Man Li continued shaking his head. How did Grandmasters hone their skulls?
It was by converting Mentality and Vitality Force into Celestiality for honing. The skull was too solid and rigid. A typical form of energy could hardly complete it.
Old Man Li could only do it because he had an excess of Life Essence. He completed the transformation forcibly.
As for Li Hansong… who knew how his brain came about. That was a mystery.
"He's honing his skull now… This means that he has completed honing his golden bones! He can expel Mentality and employ Mentality-Vitality fusion to convert into Celestiality. Who's the Rank-8, really? Me or him?"
"Why do I feel like he's more of a Rank-8 than I am!"
Old Man Li mumbled. There was not a moment when he had felt such a sense of inferiority.
Exactly who was the potential Rank-8 between them?
Other than not sealing off his Sanjiao Gate, Fang Ping seemed more like a Rank-8 compared to him, alright!
Seeing that the golden glow was getting more and more resplendent, Old Man Li took a deep breath, unleashing his Vitality Force and covered up the golden glow.
The other people in the southern area had sensed the Vitality Force on this side. They might have recognized Old Man Li's aura, and therefore decide not to come and check.
Today, Li Changsheng was the School of Weaponry's dean. In the university, Wu Kuishan was the only one who could control him. Even Huang Jing could not. 
…
Fang Ping had sensed Old Man Li's presence.
Even so, he ignored him. 
He had a lot of secrets. However, Old Man Li knew a lot about them. In other words, all of MCMAU's higher-ups knew a lot about it. 
Especially in the past, when Fang Ping's bone marrow was honed just like that. Everyone was just pretending like they did not know anything. 
This was also Lu Fengrou's idea. In the end, when Fang Ping had completely honed his bone marrow, even Lu Fengrou herself was stunned speechless.
He had already honed his bone marrow. Right now, Fang Ping was only honing his skull. It would be fine once he got used to it.
At this moment, Fang Ping had finished honing the fourth cerebral cranium.
Honing one bone would amount to a consumption that was ten times more than an ossicle—60 million Wealth.
Despite that, Fang Ping thought it was really worth it!
Too worth it!
Right now, the bones in his entire body were rejuvenated. It was as if he had activated the core, allowing the somewhat lifeless skeleton to come to life.
Initially, only the back of his head was glowing. Right now, Fang Ping's entire body was glowing.
The Vitality in his body was surging at its maximum. 
Fang Ping could even hear his bones stir. A layer of seemingly burnt ash-like substance on the outer layer of his bones was shredding.
"This… this is how skull-honing actually looks like!"
Fang Ping did not even pay attention to the painful swelling sensation coming from his head now. The changes in which he was shedding his mortal body and exchanging his bones had caused him to give up his initial plan to hone only a small portion of it. 
As long as he did not die this time, he wanted to finish honing everything!
Fang Ping believed that when he completed honing his skull, he would experience a qualitative change. 
As for why Li Hansong that weakling was still so weak, Fang Ping speculated that Li Hansong had not yet shed his mortal body and changed his bones. His honed skull came naturally from birth. Perhaps Li Hansong had not completely resuscitated his skull.
Five bones… six bones...
Eight bones!
The moment his cerebral cranium was fully honed, it was as if he had completed an interim change. Fang Ping's entire body was emitting a magnificent golden glow!
Click, click...
The bones in his entire body were quivering. They were all vibrating. On the surface of the bones, massive amounts of greyish layers were shed, exposing golden bones!
At the periphery, Old Man Li no longer thought about other things. Instead, he put on a troubled look!
Fang Ping was constructing half a golden body!
In other words, he was constructing true golden bones!
Golden body powerhouses were those who turned their entire body into gold. This included the flesh, bones, meridians, internal organs, bone marrow, and even one's blood.
Right now, Old Man Li had completed his flesh, meridian, bones, and blood. There was only bone marrow left.
As for Fang Ping, he was activating the first step. His bones were about to turn into gold completely. 
Click, click...
The bone tremors grew louder and louder.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Ping's left arm was suddenly glowing a dazzling gold.
At this moment, his flesh was seemingly transparent. Old Man Li could even see his golden jade-like arm bone!
"Left-arm golden bone is complete!"
Old Man Li murmured. Then, the same changes happened to Fang Ping's right arm. 
"Ha!"
At this moment, Fang Ping put on a ferocious look, yelled loudly, and hammered the ground with both fists aggressively!
Boom!
A loud crash was heard. An area within the radius of tens of meters collapsed instantly. Fang Ping fell into the pit as well.
In the southern area, there were already sounds of a powerhouse employing the Flight Step.
When he saw what happened, Old Man Li yelled, "I'm practicing, there's no need to come over!"
As soon as he said those words, the Flight Step retreated and did not return.
As for Fang Ping, after both his arms had completed their golden bone transformation, his legs and other bones began transforming next. 
Fang Ping did not halt his honing process. He was still clenching his jaw, continuing to hone the 15 facial bones.
At this moment, as the honing started, even Fang Ping's teeth started changing, turning golden jade-like in an instant.
His face was also emitting a golden glow. 
When he had moved on to hone his lacrimal bone area, Fang Ping felt an intense pain behind his eyes. Tears flowed from his eyes instantly.
"Fiery eyes and golden pupils?"
This thought flashed across Fang Ping's mind suddenly. Although bone-honing did not directly change the eyes, right now, the area around the rim of his eyes was indeed emitting golden light. This was extremely similar to the manifestation of fiery eyes and golden pupils!
"Clairvoyance, omniscience, fiery eyes and golden pupils, a halo behind buddha's head… are they really legends?"
There was not a moment when Fang Ping was more doubtful than how he was now. Were those legends really just legends?
Those who displayed these traits might be powerhouses who had completed honing their skull, right? 
Rank-8 golden body!
"Do these people actually exist? Are they dead or alive? Or perhaps… they have entered the Catacombs a long time ago? In those days, the ancestor of Guangsheng Temple discovered the Catacombs, thinking that it was the immortal world. The people of Guangsheng Temple discovered the Catacombs. Where are those people?"
"Could those powerhouses have discovered the Catacombs, thinking that it was the immortal world, and went to seek immortality?"
"In Sino Nation's history, the last immortal is commonly known as ancestor Chen Tuan. That's in the Song dynasty… around 900 A.D.!"
"If the almanac recorded in the Catacombs books previously is just as what I've speculated, one year over there is the same as one year here… then… does that mean that there's now an explanation to the disappearance of immortals?
At this moment, Fang Ping really thought of many, many things.
If the time was identical, somewhere in the 10th century, a great war broke out in the Catacombs, and Divine Land vanished!
Divine Land's disappearance… There were hardly any records on Sino Nation's immortal legends after the Song dynasty.
"Perhaps… Perhaps the great war that year had something to do with the disappearance of Sino Nation's ancient immortals?
"No, it can't be. Even if they are immortals, they're only at the Grandmaster's level. How can they possibly destroy the Catacombs…"
Fang Ping felt like his head was about to explode!
It was not because of all the thinking he was doing. It was really about to explode.
He found it slightly hard to endure skull-honing and golden bone transformation.
His Celestial Bridge was already floating outside his body now.
On top of his head, three invisible gates had also appeared.
Unknown which part the invisible gates left ajar were linked to, perhaps it was linked to Fang Ping's inner body. Burst after burst of energy began dispersing out from the opened gates. Fang Ping was unable to seal off the energy in his body and sensed his Vitality Force draining away.
His flesh was cracking. Even his meridians were experiencing an enormous pressure!
From afar, Old Man Li hissed, "Stop it. Your flesh isn't strong enough to support a complete golden bone transformation!"
If this continued, Fang Ping's flesh would collapse. At that time, he would only be left with a set of golden bones!
"Iron… Iron Head Li has honed his skull too, hasn't he?"
While Fang Ping was talking, his oral cavity started cracking. Crimson jade-like blood was seeping out ceaselessly.
"He's different from you. He didn't turn his bones golden. He was only honing them, not changing them!"
Old Man Li explained very quickly. Li Hansong was different from Fang Ping.
Li Hansong's bones were actually golden bones too. However, Li Hansong did not activate the core. Now, his golden bones were still in a stilled state.
On the other hand, Fang Ping was activating this core. Both of them were different.
"Just a bit more…"
At this moment, Fang Ping had already finished honing 8 cerebral cranium bones. He had also honed 8 facial bones. Only 7 bones remained.
"There's no hurry in cultivation. Stop messing around!" 
Old Man Li shouted once more. Whether it was one day earlier or one day later, would that make any difference?
Fang Ping had this capability, so he could do it any time!
"That makes sense…"
Although he agreed, Fang Ping did not stop. He continued honing wildly!
Enormous amounts of Mentality and Vitality Force surged and emerged, converting into Celestiality instantly. He began honing other bones.
17 bones, 18 bones… when the 20th bone was honed, Fang Ping let out a loud cry, smashing his head on the ground!
Boom!
The already deep pit was once again smashed into an even larger crater.
After a moment, Fang Ping climbed out of it while shaking his head. At this moment, his entire body was dazzling gold. His body surface was still cracking continuously, but was reconstructed in no time.
The Life Essence in Fang Ping's body was also mending the injuries on his flesh repeatedly.
The Life Essence he consumed in the Catacombs earlier was now exhausted. Fang Ping had no choice but to start using Mentality to convert into Celestiality to continue mending them. 
This time, his consumption was indeed substantial. 
Of course, his gains were beyond substantial too!
Fang Ping did not even bother observing Old Man Li's peculiar look. He began checking the system's display panel:
Wealth: 10.7 billion (convert)
Vitality: 1000cal (4600cal)
Mentality: 590Hz (825Hz)
Bones Honed: 177 bones (100%), 26 bones (90%), 3 bones (30%+)
Storage Space: 1 cubic meter (+)
Energy Shield: 10 thousand Wealth/minute
His Wealth was still decreasing nonstop, converting into Vitality Force to mend his flesh.
Earlier, his Vitality limit was 3999cal without the "+" sign. That supposedly meant that his physique's toughness had already reached the limit.
Despite that, after honing 20 bones in his skull, his Vitality upper limit was increased by 600cal!
This meant that his physique was even tougher now. Much tougher than a typical Peak Rank-5 powerhouse.
Of course, there was a price to pay. 
At this moment, Fang Ping was once again losing control!
Other than the increase in Vitality Force, his Mentality had also increased, exceeding 800Hz, reaching a new high.
Both energies had broken through the limit, causing Fang Ping to lose control of his own strength. 
After climbing out, a thunderous boom was heard. Fang Ping crushed the ground surface in one step!
Fang Ping could not care less. He lifted his head and looked at Old Man Li. Both his eyes unleashed a shade of golden glow suddenly. He roared, "Evil monster, activated!"
Bang!
Old Man Li did not bother showing the slightest bit of courtesy. He sent Fang Ping flying with a kick, cursing aloud, "Monster, your ass!"
Usually, Fang Ping would be able to control and would have employed the Flight Step a long time ago.
This time, Fang Ping was unable to control himself. In the next second, Fang Ping crashed to the ground, and another thunderous sound resounded. The ground collapsed into a huge pit!
At this moment, Fang Ping's weight… had probably exceeded 500 catty—perhaps even more!
When he had honed his bones up to this stage, qualitative changes had already taken place.
Fang Ping was not concerned at all. He climbed up from the pit again. He broke into a grin, exposing a row of crystal-like teeth. Now, his teeth were no longer white nor gold. Instead, they had taken a translucent and rock crystal form.
After chuckling, Fang Ping suddenly said seriously, "If I kiss someone now, I'm afraid I'll break and crush her teeth easily. Old Man Li, are we already destined not to have a wife?"
Old Man Li was dumbfounded. Why were you thinking about this right now?
Also, why would you have to slam into others with your teeth when you were kissing? Were all young people today like this?
Fang Ping was only joking. He ignored this matter in no time. Flaunting his teeth, he said, "I think that I can now crush alloy in one bite—definitely!"
Old Man Li was mentally and emotionally tired. This kid's way of thinking was completely different from others.
Right now, were you not supposed to be more concerned about your bones turning golden?
"My brain is currently beyond solid. I think I can smash a Rank-5 to death…"
Fang Ping was still raving on and on. Old Man Li was being messed around by him so much that he had forgotten to ask him how he did it. 


Fang Ping finally settled an issue after wasting half an hour of his life. He wasn't dreaming nor acting —for God's sake, if acting in a movie could restore his youth, then the film crew deserved a trip to heaven immediately!

After verifying that he had reincarnated, Fang Ping felt a wave of panic before settling down and accepting the truth.

What was the truth? It was that he had indeed reincarnated into a younger version of himself, and since he was equipped with his knowledge of the future, he was going to seize the day and become the next-big-thing in the business world! He was going to be rich!

That was that, until his friend interrupted him.

"So are you signing up for the martial sciences exam?"

What? Was this a joke? Or had he been handed the wrong script? Was this even the right universe? What was martial sciences? Why did the exam cost 10 thousand bucks to sign up? Loaded with questions, Fang Ping will soon realize that he might not have struck the jackpot as he had initially thought...
