Chapter 217: All these years have been in vain
Early the next morning, Wang Teng left Sky City and returned home, preparing to have his parents discuss with Qian Daoliu in Spirit City to pick a good date for the wedding, and also to give the three extra Spirit Bones he had to Wang Chong.
Upon returning home, Wang Chengkun and Li Chan were both there.
"Wang Teng, you're back? Hmm? Where's Xue'er?"
Seeing Wang Teng return alone again, Li Chan's happy expression instantly vanished. She put on a straight face and glared at Wang Teng with annoyance.
This was because Wang Teng had returned without his daughter-in-law again.
"Ahem, Mom, I'm back this time because I have something important to discuss with you and Dad."
Knowing his mother was annoyed with him, Wang Teng immediately used his 'trump card'.
"Oh? What do you need to discuss with your mother and me?"
Wang Chengkun was a bit curious.
"Xue'er and I are planning to get married. If you two are free, please find some time to discuss it with Xue'er's grandfather and pick a good date."
"Haha, Wang Teng, well done! Your father and I definitely have time!"
Li Chan immediately became overjoyed. She had long been looking forward to Wang Teng marrying Qian Renxue, his fiancée, into the family.
"Yes, your mother is right. We'll go tomorrow!"
Wang Chengkun nodded. His son getting married was a big deal and couldn't be delayed.
Since their two sons had gradually grown up, the couple had been very worried.
Wang Teng was fine; he already had a fiancée. But their youngest son, Wang Chong, was practically a quiet person and hadn't found a girlfriend yet.
"Alright, it's settled then. We'll go to Spirit City tomorrow to set the wedding date."
Wang Teng nodded.
"By the way, where's Wang Chong? Is he still cultivating?"
Wang Teng didn't see Wang Chong and was a bit curious.
"That's right. Wang Chong is now a Level 49 Spirit Ancestor and plans to advance to Spirit King before the Soul Master Competition."
Although Wang Chong hadn't found a girlfriend, which made Li Chan a bit annoyed, Wang Chong was still quite promising. Although he couldn't compare to Wang Teng, he was still considered a great genius.
"Oh? Not bad."
Wang Teng nodded, expressing satisfaction with his younger brother.
Wang Chong was only a little over 17 years old now. Reaching Level 49 Spirit Ancestor was quite good.
It was just that when Wang Chong awakened his Spirit, his talent was a bit lacking, only having innate Level 7 spirit power. Otherwise, with the help of the Immortal Herb, he would definitely have advanced to Spirit King by now.
Afterward, Wang Teng found Wang Chong.
"Brother, you're back?"
Wang Chong, who had just exited his cultivation state, immediately said happily when he saw his elder brother return.
"Yes, good. Keep working hard in the future. Here are three Spirit Bones for you."
As he spoke, Wang Teng took out the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, Soft Bone Rabbit Right Arm Bone, and Three-Headed Red Demon Hound Left Leg Bone from his inventory and handed them to his younger brother.
"These are...? Are they all 100,000-Year Soul Bones?"
Although Wang Chong didn't know the exact age of these three Spirit Bones, he could tell from their spirit power fluctuations that they were very old, similar to the Sea Dragon Left Arm Bone he had absorbed last time. Especially that crimson Left Leg Bone, it was definitely over a hundred thousand years old.
"That's right. The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and Soft Bone Rabbit Right Arm Bone are both a hundred thousand years old. As for this Three-Headed Red Demon Hound Left Leg Bone, it's two hundred seventy thousand years old."
Wang Teng nodded and stated their ages.
"Two hundred seventy thousand years?"
Wang Chong couldn't help but exclaim.
Even 100,000-Year Soul Bones were extremely rare. He didn't expect his brother to have a two hundred seventy thousand year Spirit Bone. If that Spirit Beast was two hundred seventy thousand years old, its strength must have far surpassed that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, right?
"Brother, this age is too high. You should keep it for yourself."
"Since I've given it to you, just use it. But don't be too arrogant. It's best not to let anyone know you have Spirit Bones. If you can win the championship in the upcoming Soul Master Competition, I'll cover all the Spirit Bones for your other body parts in the future!"
Wang Teng made a guarantee. His second Spirit, Radiant Gauntlet, still needed seven spirit rings, which meant he would need to hunt seven Spirit Beasts of a hundred thousand years or more. Spirit Bones would definitely not be lacking.
"Yes, yes! I will definitely win the championship!"
Hearing his elder brother's guarantee, Wang Chong quickly nodded and patted his chest, promising.
Furthermore, he also knew that if the news of him possessing four Spirit Bones of a hundred thousand years or more were to be exposed, experts from all over the continent would probably form groups to kill him and seize his Spirit Bones.
It was better for him not to be too arrogant and to keep a low profile.
Actually, Wang Teng wasn't sure if Wang Chong could win this Soul Master Competition.
Wang Chong was currently a Level 49 Spirit Ancestor, not far from Spirit King.
The ages of these three Spirit Bones were all very high. If refined by a Spirit King-level Spirit Master, assuming each Spirit Bone increased spirit power by three levels, Wang Chong should be able to advance to Spirit Emperor before the finals of the Soul Master Competition began.
However, participating in this Soul Master Competition with Spirit Emperor-level strength without using powerful Spirit Bone abilities would still be risky.
Because the quality of the Spirit Hall team in this Soul Master Competition was very high. They had three Spirit Kings, and Hu Liena and Xie Yue, the siblings, could use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique—Demonic Charm. With the strength of Demonic Charm, they could probably reach the level of a Spirit Saint without releasing their Martial Soul True Body.
If Wang Chong's teammates weren't strong enough, it would still be a bit dangerous, unless he used powerful Spirit Bone abilities. Only then could he guarantee winning the championship.
Moreover, this assumed the Spirit Hall team would maintain the same strength as in the original story and that no changes had occurred.
But according to Wang Teng's estimation, this was impossible.
The last time Spirit City encountered a large-scale beast tide, they should have gained quite a few Spirit Bones. With the talent of Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, they should have received Spirit Bone rewards.
Even if Yan and Xie Yue didn't, Wang Teng believed that Hu Liena definitely did.
When Wang Teng went to Spirit Hall to get engaged, he gave Bibi Dong a hundred thousand year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Left Leg Bone. In addition, Bibi Dong had hunted two hundred thousand year Spirit Beasts in the ocean, so that made three Spirit Bones of a hundred thousand years or more.
Within Spirit Hall, the only person Bibi Dong truly cared for was Hu Liena. So even if she didn't get all three of these Spirit Bones, she would at least have one.
It could be said that Wang Chong's pressure to win the championship this time was not small.
"Wang Chong, don't be careless. In this Soul Master Competition, the Spirit Hall team will have at least three students who are Spirit King-level or above."
"Brother, don't worry! I will definitely win the championship."
"Alright then. By the way, which academy's team are you planning to join?"
The prerequisite for participating in the Soul Master Competition was to have the endorsement of an officially recognized advanced academy; otherwise, one could not participate.
For example, the original Shrek Academy was a 'pheasant academy' in the beginning. Without official endorsement, they had no qualification to participate.
It was only later when they came to Heaven Dou City and reorganized Blue Tyrant Academy into Shrek Academy that they gained the qualification to participate.
From Liu Erlong giving Blue Tyrant Academy to Flender, it can be seen that Liu Erlong was also a spendthrift. An advanced Spirit Master academy with a simulated training ground would cost at least nearly ten million gold coins, right? She just gave it away, truly generous.
Of course, it was also because Liu Erlong had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind her; otherwise, she wouldn't have had the money to build a Spirit Master academy.
"I haven't decided yet, but I'll just find a Spirit Master academy with participation qualifications. Anyway, those teammates will at most be Spirit Ancestor-level strength; they won't be much help."
Wang Chong didn't count on his teammates. Based on the level of previous Soul Master Competitions, the strongest teams participating in the Soul Master Competition were only Spirit Ancestors.
Some academies even lacked Spirit Ancestor-level students, only having Spirit Elders.
Wang Chong felt that he could advance to Spirit Emperor before the finals of the Soul Master Competition. In that case, having good teammates or not wouldn't make much difference.
"Alright, whatever makes you happy."
Wang Teng didn't say anything either. Indeed, as Wang Chong said, ordinary teammates were not of much use; they weren't on the same level.
On the other side, in the Crown Prince's mansion of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Young Master, are we just giving up like this?"
Serpent Dragon asked Qian Renxue with some frustration.
"There's nothing to miss. Plans can't keep up with changes. I'm already a Titled Douluo now, so what am I doing staying here?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Serpent Dragon and Ci Xue and said indifferently.
"..."
Serpent Dragon opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
That was true. Their Young Master was already a Titled Douluo, so the infiltration plan was no longer needed. She could have returned long ago to undergo the Angel God Test.
Once their Young Master became the Angel God, wouldn't it be easy to crush all those who defied her?
"Young Master, are our people withdrawing directly then?"
Ci Xue asked the crucial question.
"Let them continue to lie low. When Sky City makes a move against the Heaven Dou Empire, let them help Sky City!"
Qian Renxue hadn't been idle all these years. She had planted many hidden agents within the Heaven Dou Empire.
"..."
Serpent Dragon and Ci Xue exchanged glances, a bit speechless. All their hard work over the years had been for nothing, essentially working for Sky City.
"Young Master, are we just letting that brat Wang Teng off easy?"
Serpent Dragon was a bit annoyed. The first time they met, Wang Teng had mocked his fifth spirit ring. Although Wang Teng later gave him many Spirit Bones, he still felt a bit frustrated.
Had all Spirit Hall's efforts in the Heaven Dou Empire over the years been for naught, just to work for Sky City?
"Uh~! Wang Teng is already a Level 95 Titled Douluo now. If you call him a brat, be careful he doesn't come looking for trouble with you later. Besides, we're getting married soon~"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue's face turned red.
"!!!"
Serpent Dragon and Ci Xue's eyes widened, not in surprise that Wang Teng was a Titled Douluo, but that their Young Master was actually getting married?
"Young Master, is that true or false?"
"It's naturally true."
Qian Renxue nodded.
Although surprised, Serpent Dragon and Ci Xue had known about this for a long time. Given the relationship between Qian Renxue and Wang Teng, it was only a matter of time; they just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Alright, you two arrange everything. We'll return to Spirit City tomorrow."
Qian Renxue was in a good mood. She was about to bid farewell to Heaven Dou City, where she had lived for over a decade, and no longer needed to be a spy.
As soon as she thought about getting married to Wang Teng, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face.
Qian Renxue felt that Heaven had been kind to her. Although she lost her father when she was young and didn't receive her mother's love, when she grew up, she met Wang Teng and found a shoulder to lean on.
"Yes, Young Master."
Serpent Dragon and Ci Xue immediately took their orders and went to make arrangements.
Since their Young Master had decided to leave the Heaven Dou Empire, the other hidden agents below, who were not withdrawing, naturally needed to be properly arranged.
As for the turmoil caused in the Heaven Dou Empire after Crown Prince Xue Qinghe disappeared, they wouldn't concern themselves with it. The two of them were just bodyguards, not the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
