Chapter 177: Two Soul Bones
Only two soul bones and twenty million gold soul coins were lost, which was already considered a good outcome.
As for the Frozen Forest and Sunset Forest, even if Emperor Xue Ye had explicitly banned Star Luo Empire soul masters from entering these two soul beast forests, couldn't they still sneak in?
As for Cang Hui Academy, they weren't under the jurisdiction of the Heaven Dou Empire, and this time, they had brought this upon themselves. If Shi Nian hadn't assassinated the Star Luo Empire's prince, how could they have ended up like this?
After the negotiations concluded, Emperor Xue Ye's envoys hurried back to the Heaven Dou Empire. After a week of travel, the envoys finally arrived at the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Report!!!"
Seeing his envoys return, Emperor Xue Ye quickly rose from the throne and eagerly asked, "How is it? Is it completed?"
"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your orders!" The envoy quickly handed Dai Pojun's written document to Emperor Xue Ye and reported the results of the negotiations.
Upon learning that the Heaven Dou Empire would offer 20 million gold soul coins and two ten-thousand-year soul bones, Emperor Xue Ye couldn't help but frown.
While the 20 million gold soul coins were a reasonable sum, the two ten-thousand-year soul bones presented a dilemma. The Heaven Dou Empire couldn't match the Spirit Hall's resources and didn't possess such a vast supply.
The Heaven Dou Empire's treasury held no more than five ten-thousand-year soul bones, and the loss of two was a significant loss.
However, compared to going to war with the Star Luo Empire, offering two ten-thousand-year soul bones to secure peace was currently in the best interests of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"I heard that Crown Prince Star Luo is currently at Shrek Academy in Heaven Dou City. Let's give these two ten-thousand-year soul bones to Dean Flanders and have him deliver them to Crown Prince Star Luo."
Having made up his mind, Emperor Xue Ye ordered his men to retrieve the two soul bones from the treasury and deliver them to the Shrek Academy camp.
…
Meanwhile, inside Yuexuan, to Dai Weis's surprise, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing had come to visit him, accompanied by Li Hu and Lin Qiuyang.
"Zhuyun, Zhuqing, what brings you here?" Dai Weis smiled upon seeing the two women arrive, and gently embraced them.
"Didn't that coward Dai Mubai die? Zhuqing and I were worried you'd be sad, so we came to check on you." Enjoying Dai Weis's embrace, Zhu Zhuyun wore a faint smile, then leaned close to his ear and chuckled, "By the way, I have some good news for you, too."
"Good news?"
Dai Weis half-closed his eyes and glanced at Zhu Zhuyun in surprise, wondering what good news she could possibly have. But as he gazed upon Zhu Zhuyun's voluptuous figure, his eyes lit up.
"Zhuyun, have you made a breakthrough?"
"Yes, I'm already a level 60 agility attack quasi-Soul Emperor! How about it, are you surprised? Are you happy?"
For more than a year, in addition to spending most of her time practicing the secret method of ring fusion, Zhu Zhuyun also did not fall behind in her cultivation. Now her soul power has reached level 60, and she is only one soul ring away from becoming a Soul Emperor.
"It just so happens that I also need to obtain the sixth soul ring. I want you to give me some advice. How about it? Is it okay?"
"Haha, of course it's okay. You are my wife, isn't it only natural?" Dai Weis put his arm around Zhu Zhuyun's waist and said with a smile: "Then I will take you to Sunset Forest to obtain the sixth soul ring?"
"Wait a minute, in addition to obtaining the soul ring, my father also asked me to give you this." After that, Zhu Zhuyun handed Dai Pojun's handwritten letter to Dai Weis.
Dai Weis immediately opened it and began to read. The handwritten letter contained the results of Dai Pojun's negotiations with the Heaven Dou Empire. It assigned Dai Weis the responsibility of receiving two soul bones and 20 million gold soul coins. He also entrusted Dai Weis with the Canghui Academy personnel.
From now on, Canghui Academy would be the Star Luo Imperial Family's territory within the Heaven Dou Empire!
"Canghui Academy..." Dai Weis thought of the seven Canghui Academy members who had appeared in the original novel and faced off against the Shrek Seven Devils at the Spirit Master Competition.
Those seven had unleashed an incredibly powerful seven-in-one fusion technique known as the Seven Asuras Illusion. If it weren't for Tang San's Purple Demon Eye, which was specifically designed to break illusions, the Shrek Seven Devils would likely have perished at the hands of the Canghui Academy.
"Seven Asuras Illusion... worth studying!"
Dai Weis murmured, especially since he remembered that in the subsequent finals, Yu Xiaogang had used the Seven Asuras Illusion to develop the Shrek Seven Devils' fusion technique.
He was able to concentrate the spirit power of seven people into Tang San, allowing his spirit power to briefly reach the level of a Soul Sage, unlocking his spirit form and defeating the combined forces of the Divine Wind and Blazing Academy in one fell swoop.
Since Yu Xiaogang was able to develop the Shrek Seven Devils' fusion technique, it stands to reason that he couldn't also develop a Seven-in-One Fusion Technique. With the spirit power of seven powerful spirit masters concentrated in one person, perhaps his spirit power could briefly reach the level of a Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo!
"The others from Canghui Academy can be killed, but as for those seven, let's spare their lives until I develop the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique..."
"Brother Dai!"
As Dai Weis pondered, Ning Rongrong's playful and endearing voice suddenly rang out from outside the door. Ning Rongrong had suddenly arrived on the fifth floor of Yuexuan and entered his room.
Seeing Ning Rongrong, Dai Weis smiled and said, "Rongrong? Come on in!" He then stood up, ushered her into the room, and asked, "Sister Rongrong, what brings you here?"
"What? Can't I just come over to see Brother Dai if I have nothing else to do?"
"Haha, of course you can. You can come over anytime you want. I'm always welcome here."
"Hehe, I knew Brother Dai was a good person. Actually, I came to see you this time because I have something to ask." Ning Rongrong then took out a black card and a large iron box, handed them to Dai Weis, and sighed.
"This is what Dean Flanders asked me to give you. He said it's Emperor Xue Ye's compensation to Boss Dai and the Star Luo Royal Family."
Emperor Xue Ye handed Flanders 20 million gold soul coins and two soul bones, asking him to pass them on to Dai Weis. However, Flanders was still overwhelmed by the pain of losing his disciple, so he asked Ning Rongrong to pass them on to Dai Weis.
"Thank you, Sister Rongrong." Dai Weis accepted the black card and spirit bone, then asked, "Rongrong, what are your plans next?"
"We? Sigh!" Ning Rongrong sighed helplessly. "Boss Dai, Fatty, Huang Yuan, and Jing Ling are all dead. We're down to seven. We plan to return to Shrek Academy and prepare to compete in the next Spirit Master Competition!"
"Okay, then, I wish you victory in the next competition!" Dai Weis encouraged. While that was true, the Spirit Hall's soul hunting operation would begin in five years, and it was uncertain whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect would survive the calamity.
"Haha, then, I'll take Brother Dai's good wishes." With a smile, Ning Rongrong also said goodbye and left, returning to Shrek Academy.
Dai Weis couldn't wait to open the iron box and pull out two spirit bones. It had to be said that Emperor Xue Ye was truly generous, giving away a head spirit bone and a torso bone.
The 30,000-year-old backlight-invisible skull and the 10,000-year-old soul power-transformation torso bone were the two.
