Chapter 255: The Impoverished Elephant Armor Sect
"Are you eager to know?"
Mo Hui glanced at Shui Bing'er. Seeing her nod, he replied, "My soul power level is now ninety-six."
"It was seventy-six... wait, how much?"
Shui Bing'er, realizing what she was saying, stared at Mo Hui in disbelief. Had she heard correctly? Mo Hui had said ninety-six, not seventy-six.
"Ninety-six, I'm now a Titled Douluo. Title: Storm!"
Seeing Shui Bing'er hadn't heard clearly, Mo Hui continued.
Shui Bing'er was stunned by this. Ninety-six? How many years had it been since Mo Hui became a Titled Douluo?
She had expected Mo Hui to become a Titled Douluo, but she hadn't expected him to be so fast. A Titled Douluo at the age of twenty—this had never happened in the entire history of Douluo Continent, had it?
The previous fastest person to reach the Titled Douluo level was Tang Hao, but he was already in his forties when he did.
Looking at Mo Hui before her, Shui Bing'er hesitated, unsure what to say.
While their relationship was acceptable, he was a Titled Douluo. Suddenly, Shui Bing'er felt like she and Mo Hui were on a different level.
Seeing this, Mo Hui smiled, patted Shui Bing'er on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be so reserved. With your talent, achieving Titled Douluo is only a matter of time. I'm just a step ahead.
Perhaps you could consider what your title would be."
Mo Hui's words put Shui Bing'er at ease. Yes, as long as she survived, she was confident she could achieve Titled Douluo.
"Thank you for your guidance, my Lord Storm."
Shui Bing'er winked at Mo Hui, even looking playful.
Then, Mo Hui cleared the bodies of the Elephant Armor Sect members, and while doing so, he licked his bag, demonstrating the traditional virtue of thriftiness.
"No wonder there have always been rumors that the Elephant Armor Sect is poor. Now it seems the rumors are true."
Mo Hui's face immediately faltered after seeing the contents of the Elephant Armor Sect's soul guides. A dignified Elephant Armor Sect Soul Saint Elder only had a little over 100,000 gold soul coins in his soul guide.
For someone of his rank, this was sheer poverty.
Shui Bing'er also covered her mouth and laughed, "Although the Elephant Armor Sect's income channels are indeed somewhat reduced, for a dignified Soul Saint Elder, only a few hundred thousand gold soul coins is far too few."
Normally, a Soul Saint-level soul master could easily come up with a million gold soul coins, as this level would be considered a high-level force in any faction.
If they joined the Heaven Dou Empire and made a good living, they could potentially be granted several large cities as fiefdoms.
Many of the first kings of principalities were only Soul Saints.
As Mo Hui and Shui Bing'er chatted, Xue Wu also successfully absorbed the Snow Leopard's spirit ring. She excitedly said to Shui Bing'er, "Bing'er, I've finally become a Soul Emperor like you!"
But then, somewhat stunned, she saw Shui Bing'er, smiling, chatting with a man. And that man was Mo Hui?
"Mo Hui? How did you get here?" Xue Wu asked, somewhat surprised.
Mo Hui replied, "I arrived after you started absorbing the spirit ring."
"Xue Wu, just after you absorbed the spirit ring, those bastards from the Elephant Armor Sect arrived. Fortunately, Mo Hui arrived, so we're safe now." Shui Bing'er explained, holding Xue Wu's hand.
Hearing this, Xue Wu frowned and asked, "Elephant Armor Sect? Our Tianshui Academy and the Elephant Armor Sect should have a pretty good relationship, right? Why would they attack us?"
"Under any other circumstances, they wouldn't. They're attacking us for this reason."
With that, Shui Bing'er removed the 20,000-year-old Snow Leopard spirit bone from her spirit guide and placed it in Xue Wu's hand.
"This is... a ten-thousand-year soul bone!"
Xue Wu's eyes lit up with eagerness after she saw the object in her hand.
A ten-thousand-year soul bone—something even some Titled Douluo possess—is the dream of many soul masters, second only to hundred-thousand-year soul ring bones and externally attached soul bones.
Shui Bing'er quickly averted her gaze, saying with some reluctance, "This item burst forth from a snow leopard beast. By absorbing its soul ring, you can maximize its efficiency."
It's impossible for Shui Bing'er not to want this ten-thousand-year soul bone, specifically one suited to her attributes.
But as she'd said, Xue Wu could maximize its efficiency. Furthermore, they'd been close friends for years, even capable of forming a fusion spirit technique. Shui Bing'er knew which was more important.
"I understand,"
Xue Wu nodded, and immediately prepared to sit cross-legged and absorb the soul bone.
Mo Hui suddenly stopped her, causing Xue Wu's heart to tense.
Could it be that Mo Hui, unable to resist, was planning to snatch the soul bone?
This wasn't impossible. Soul bones were already rare, let alone a ten-thousand-year soul bone.
There were countless examples of people turning against each other over soul bones. Not to mention friends like them and Mo Hui, even siblings, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and even husbands and wives could stab them in the back.
Then, under Xue Wu's anxious gaze, Mo Hui slowly said, "This isn't a good place to absorb soul bones. Let's leave first and find a safe place to absorb them."
With Xue Wu's abilities, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul bone would take at least several hours, and Mo Hui didn't want to wait that long.
"Yes, Xue Wu, Mo Hui is right. You should put the soul bone away first, and we'll absorb it back home," Shui Bing'er agreed.
"That... okay."
Seeing Shui Bing'er's words, Xue Wu immediately stored the snow leopard soul bone in her soul guide.
At the same time, Xue Wu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he wasn't trying to steal the soul bone. Given Mo Hui's previous dominance, even if she and Shui Bing'er combined their martial soul fusion techniques, she had no chance of defeating him.
It would be best if Mo Hui showed no signs of wanting to snatch the soul bone. She didn't want to treat Mo Hui as an opponent, that would be too scary.
"Pido."
At this time, Mo Hui glanced at Pidgeot, and Pidgeot immediately understood and made his body a little bigger.
After Pidgeot grew bigger, Mo Hui lightly jumped onto Pidgeot, turned to Shui Bing'er and the other girl and said, "Where are you going? I'll use Pidgeot to take you there."
"Excuse me, please take us to Tianshui Academy!"
Before Xue Wu could even think about it, Shui Bing'er jumped directly onto Pidgeot and said to Mo Hui.
"Ah~"
Seeing this, Xue Wu could only sigh inwardly, and then came behind Shui Bing'er.
"You better sit tight, Pidgeot is a bit fast."
After saying that, Pidgeot flapped his wings, flew high into the sky, and turned into a blue meteor and disappeared on the spot.
