Chapter 486

How could that be possible? Hadn't Felix lost his martial abilities? Silas personally confirmed it, and she had been there to witness it. However, just one month later, he had not only regained his strength but also ascended to the Innate Realm.

"Very impressive, young man. It's remarkable that you reached the Innate Realm at such a young age!" Lionel chuckled, clearly impressed. It made him even happier, especially because Felix was a patriot.

Nala, her expression conflicted, shot Felix a hard look before turning and leaving the room. Since he had reached the Innate Realm, it was clear that his medical skills had not only returned but likely surpassed his previous level She couldn't possibly continue to argue. "Did you ever refine a specific bone, My Lord?" Felix asked once they were alone in the wooden house.

Lionel's gaze shifted instantly. "Can you detect that bone's presence?

Felix nodded. "Yes, and I'm certain that your current condition was caused by that bone.

In fact, Felix was shocked when he discovered it. The bone in Lionel's body was no ordinary bone. It was a piece of the ancient dragon's spine that Felix himself had been searching for and planning to refine.

His mind raced with questions. Gerald had told him that only someone who had trained in the Dragons Destroyer technique could refine a true dragon's spine. Yet here it was, hidden within Lionel, which was beyond strange.

Lionel nodded. "You're right. I do have a bone that isn't mine! Years ago, I stumbled upon a fragment of a secret technique. Beside it lay this bone.

"Once I learned the technique, i was able to refine the bone. That day, my strength skyrocketed. The immense leap in power and quality was so incredible it still feels like a dream."

It was as he thought. Felix himself had refined a true dragon's spine bone, enabling him to reach the Innate Realm in an instant. This bone was indeed exceptional.

"I never fully understood what that bone was," Lionel admitted, "But Felix, are you sure you can extract it from me?"

"Perfect," Felix thought, breathing a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the explanations would have been endless.

"I can do it. The bone is extremely special and hides itself during examination, making it tricky to locate. I'll need to use a special acupuncture technique, slowly wearing it down. In about a week, I should be able to extract it.

"However, there's something you should consider. Removing this bone will significantly reduce your martial power."

Lionel laughed. "That's fine! At my age, I'm about to retire. What do I need such power for? I'd rather live a few more years and enjoy some peace. Go ahead!"

Just as he finished, a thought occurred to him. By the way, Felix, can I keep the bone after it's removed?"

Anyone could tell that bone was valuable. Even if he no longer needed it, it could be left as an heirloom for his descendants.

Felix shook his head.

"No, the bone is too unusual. I can only gradually guide it out using acupuncture and transfer it into my own body. Afterward, I'll spend 49 days using another technique to fully dissolve it within myself."

To his surprise, Lionel simply shook his head, saying something that left Felix stunned. Oh, in that case, I won't proceed with the treatment. You can leave."
