Chapter 230: Three Soul Bones
Several days later, everyone arrived at the Pope Palace once again.
At this time, except for the three academies participating in the finals, most of the other academies had not yet left; although the final match could not be watched by just anyone, the battle for the top three was a different matter.
Shui Bing'er said that she wanted to cheer for her junior fellow apprentice and would only leave after confirming he had made it into the grand finals.
And because she stayed, her close friend Huo Wu also chose to stay to keep her company; after Huo Wu stayed, how could Feng Xiaotian, who acted like a sycophant, possibly leave first?
Just as Nan Feihuang had judged before, it was exactly like a snowball; by keeping one person, the rest of the others would naturally gather around slowly as well.
Nan Feihuang was naturally happy; having a few more people to cheer him on was not a bad thing.
Originally, this was the Spirit Hall's home turf; having so many people support him could also allow him to suffer less from the away-game atmosphere.
Shrek had been expelled and had already left, but Nan Feihuang believed that this matter would not end just like this; the Star Luo Empire had always been known for its abundant martial virtue and domineering nature, and since Zhu Zhuyun had been killed, they would certainly not let the matter rest.
Nan Feihuang estimated that the White Tiger Great Emperor might use war to force Xue Ye to hand over the people from Shrek.
With the culprit Tang San having been taken away by Tang Hao, among Shrek, apart from a few with backing like Ning Rongrong and Liu Erlong, the rest, such as Flender and Zhao Wuji, would in all likelihood become Xue Ye's discarded pawns, sent to the White Tiger Great Emperor to be kneaded and flattened or even beheaded in public to appease the anger of Star Luo.
Compared to several days ago, Dai Weisi's spirit seemed to have improved a bit; although he loved Zhu Zhuyun, he was naturally cold-natured, and the most important person to him was still himself.
Bibi Dong appeared at the Pope Palace again today, looking down from above at the three academies standing in three rows, and said, "Congratulations to you three academies; after days of fierce fighting, you have successfully entered the top three of this tournament."
That was that the Golden Generation and the Flying General would both be injured, and he would pick up the championship by default.
In short, Shrek was finished.
No one saw clearly how she did it; three points of light instantly magnified before Bibi Dong, floating in mid-air.
Now that he lacked the assistance of Zhu Zhuyun, he had to demonstrate greater value to win a reputation in the Star Luo Empire and have more people support him.
To let him and Dai Mubai compete fairly to see who was better.
His thoughts were indeed very beautiful, but as for whether it could go according to his wishes, the key would have to be asked of Nan Feihuang.
At that time, whoever won between the two, Zhu Zhuqing would marry.
By then, his Imperial Father would certainly value him highly.
The Soul Master Tournament was an opportunity.
If he could join forces with the Spirit Hall to defeat the Flying General, he could naturally become famous, and there was even a better possibility.
Then he could take advantage of this to propose to his Imperial Father to change Zhu Zhuqing's marriage contract object from Dai Mubai to himself; after all, no matter how one looked at it, he was more outstanding than Dai Mubai, or at the very least, he would try his best to keep Zhu Zhuqing from getting involved in this struggle for the succession.
"From you, I see hope. Before the Pope Palace, I hope even more to see all of your talent and strength. The final winner will receive the greatest reward from the Spirit Hall." As Bibi Dong spoke, she waved her Scepter lightly.
Those were three different things, none of them large in size, shaped like bones, which were a right arm bone, a torso bone, and a left leg bone respectively. They also flashed with fiery red, pitch black, and ink green light respectively.
Soul bone, that was exactly the three soul bones mentioned before.
For a moment, the entire Wuhun City was boiling.
Except for those with inside information who already knew about this final reward beforehand, who could have imagined that it would actually be three soul bones? One could tell from the radiance that these three soul bones were all of extraordinary quality. Even those within the Spirit Hall revealed looks of Greed one by one.
In the past, even if only one soul bone appeared in the world, it would cause a bloody struggle, let alone three.
If this were not the Pope Palace, and if not for the deterrence of several Title Douluo here, I am afraid someone would have long since been unable to suppress the Greed in their hearts and rushed up to snatch them.
This was a soul bone! For a Spirit Master, it was the most precious thing, something that could be sought but not found.
Moreover, among soul bones, there were also distinctions of high and low, and the quality itself was extremely important. Excluding the External Spirit Bone that could evolve, for ordinary soul bones, the higher the level of the Spirit Beast that produced it, the greater the effect.
These three, just by looking at them, one knew the quality was extraordinary.
Among them, some who knew the exact intelligence looked at that pitch-black torso bone with some surprise, wondering in their hearts why it was not the Wisdom Skull that had been agreed upon.
Immediately, they remembered; no wonder that in the previous match, Hu Liena's forehead displayed that kind of radiance; this was the teacher giving special treatment to her disciple, giving her the soul bone in advance.
However, no one raised any objections.
For one, they didn't have the guts; who would dare to easily offend the Pope? Secondly, wasn't this replaced with a better one?
This pitch-black torso bone looked very extraordinary at first glance, and the torso bone was the most precious of the six conventional parts; since Bibi Dong had paid such a large return, what was there to object to?
The only one who was somewhat dissatisfied was Lan Xue.
She didn't expect that in order to help her disciple defeat her own son, Bibi Dong would actually go to such lengths.
If she had known earlier, she would have brought that Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone over and let her son absorb it today.
At that time, when comparing the quality of soul bones, let's see who could outdo whom.
At this moment, the Title Douluo Guimei, who was standing behind the Pope, stepped forward and introduced in his low voice, "These three soul bones are the Undying Body of the Spider Emperor, the right arm of Burning Explosion, and the left leg of Wind Chasing Speed, all originating from Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts; except for the Undying Body which is fifty thousand years, the other two are produced from Spirit Beasts over thirty thousand years; any one of them is a top-grade soul bone."
After hearing Guimei's description, everyone was even more tempted; they were actually all Ten Thousand Year Spirit Bones, and all were over thirty thousand years, and that Undying Body even reached over fifty thousand years, plus the rarity of the torso bone; to say this soul bone was worth a fortune was not an exaggeration.
"Undying Body!" Nan Feihuang muttered; listening to the name of this soul bone, the ability of this soul bone should be primarily for recovery.
Of course, although it was named Undying, it could not really be as powerful as Bibi Dong's Undying Body; this was an exaggerated statement.
Nan Feihuang guessed that it was probably about the same as the Blue Silver Emperor's "wildfire cannot burn it out, the spring breeze blows it back to life."
"It is quite suitable for Wenruo."
What Nan Feihuang had always worried about was the safety of Xun Yu himself; although his soldiers and battle formation abilities were very strong, his true self was really too weak, weaker than an auxiliary Spirit Master.
If there were a soul bone that significantly increased his survival rate, it would be quite reassuring.
"There is always only one winner, and the champion is the same. Therefore, these three soul bones will all belong to the final champion team. I hope that you three academies that have entered the top three can go all out to obtain this honor," the Pope said indifferently.
No matter what level of Spirit Master, there was no one who did not have red eyes upon seeing a soul bone. Let alone three soul bones; a strong fighting spirit almost surged out from the participating contestants all at once.
Bibi Dong continued: "This morning, it will be an individual elimination tournament where your three teams will each send out seven people. The team that remains at the end will be able to seize the initiative and enter the championship battle directly tomorrow, while the two defeated parties will compete for the other spot in the finals this afternoon. Now, you can each send one team member to the stage to draw lots."
