White World, Spirit Hall.
"Hiss, Teacher, you really weren't lying to me; you truly did almost die."
"If Dragon God His Eminence hadn't blocked for you, His Excellency Thunder would have been forced to change the direction of his attack. Given the intensity of that strike, you, who were only a Spirit Elder at the time..."
Hu Liena sucked in a breath of cold air, her voice filled with relief.
Verbal descriptions could not compare to witnessing it with one's own eyes. Only by seeing such a scene could one understand just how perilous the situation had been for her teacher back then.
"But then again, Dragon God His Eminence blocked in front of you the very instant he reacted."
"Had he hesitated for even a split second, His Excellency Thunder's attack would have landed."
"Dragon God His Eminence, back then, weren't you afraid that His Excellency Thunder wouldn't be able to control his attack, and that the blow would hit you instead?"
Hu Liena pressed further.
That was a strike intended to take Bibi Dong's life; the slightest error could have resulted in Yu Xiaogang's death.
"Back then, my physical toughness was comparable to a Spirit Emperor's. Was she, a Spirit Elder, even comparable?"
"Even if that strike had actually hit me, I would have only suffered some minor injuries at most."
Yu Xiaogang said with a calm expression.
"Huh?...I thought... forget it, I'll just fill in the blanks with my own imagination."
Hu Liena glanced at Yu Xiaogang, looking somewhat disappointed.
She had thought Dragon God His Eminence would say something like, 'My body moved before I could even think,' or 'I didn't want to see her suffer any harm.'
In the end, there was nothing of the sort.
This completely failed to live up to the fantasies of someone like her, who shipped her teacher and Dragon God His Eminence together.
Seeing Hu Liena's disappointed face, how could Yu Xiaogang not guess what she was thinking?
To this, Yu Xiaogang simply smiled and said nothing.
Of course he had said those kinds of things; did she really think he understood anything?
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang subconsciously glanced at Bibi Dong, only to meet her eyes, which were brimming with affection.
See, this is more like it.
What's the point of saying those things to you? If I say a few to my wife, she'll definitely listen to whatever I say today.
With that thought, Yu Xiaogang was already imagining what to do after they finished watching the heavenly curtain.
On the other side, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
"Cough, cough, cough, it really was just a hair's breadth away."
Yu Yuanzhen coughed awkwardly as he watched the scene on the heavenly curtain.
Back then, he truly had attacked with the resolve to kill Bibi Dong.
It was also because of that attack that even after Bibi Dong and his son had officially established their relationship, she was still unwilling to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang had mediated the situation, which prevented the conflict from persisting until now.
[The video continues...]
["I, Bibi Dong, swear by my two Spirits that I will never reveal today's events to a fourth person in any way or by any means."]
["Otherwise, I am willing to suffer the shattering of my Spirits, never to progress for the rest of my life, while my future life remains miserable and destitute, with no peace even after death."]
[Under the gaze of Yu Yuanzhen and the other, Bibi Dong swore by her Spirits—and both of them at that.]
[Once the oath was completed, Yu Yuanzhen's expression visibly relaxed a great deal.]
["My apologies for what happened earlier."]
[Looking at Bibi Dong shrinking behind his son, Yu Yuanzhen sighed.]
[The previously pleasant atmosphere was now completely ruined.]
[Thinking back, he really had been impulsive. If his son hadn't intervened and he had truly killed Bibi Dong, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect wouldn't have had an easy time afterward either.]
[But it couldn't be helped; who told that pile of Spirit Bones to blind his eyes?]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong hiding behind him, knowing that this conflict would not be easily resolved.]
[However, it didn't matter much if it wasn't resolved. After all, Bibi Dong was from Spirit Hall, and his father was the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[The two of them might not have much interaction in the future anyway.]
[With that in mind, Yu Xiaogang's gaze turned toward the pile of Spirit Bones.]
[This was the main event!]
["Father, let's take stock of these Spirit Bones,"]
[Yu Xiaogang said.]
["Alright!"]
[At the mention of Spirit Bones, Yu Yuanzhen immediately threw everything else to the back of his mind.]
[Nothing was more important right now than this pile of Spirit Bones.]
[And so, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang approached the pile and began to examine the condition of the Spirit Bones.]
[Bibi Dong still followed behind Yu Xiaogang, but her eyes were also fixed on the Spirit Bones.]
[Such a vast number of Spirit Bones was enough to make her forget her previous fear.]
[After a detailed inspection, the status of the pile was recorded.]
["A total of one hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Bones."]
[Having finished the count, Yu Yuanzhen felt his breathing grow ragged. One hundred and twenty-eight... this was one hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Bones!!]
[Did Spirit Hall even have this many Spirit Bones?]
["The good news is the quantity is high, but the bad news is that among these Spirit Bones, ten thousand year spirit bones do not make up the majority."]
["Out of one hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Bones, there are sixty-four ten-year Spirit Bones, thirty-six Hundred-year Spirit Bones, twenty-one Millennial Spirit Bones, and seven ten thousand year spirit bones."]
["The specifics of the Spirit Bones below the millennial level will be tallied later."]
["Among the seven ten thousand year spirit bones, there is one left arm bone, two left leg bones, and one right arm bone."]
[Speaking to this point, Yu Xiaogang's face was full of joy, because what came next were the most important parts a Spirit Master could absorb.]
["The remaining are two Skull Spirit Bones and one torso bone."]
["Father, you can complete a full set of Spirit Bones now."]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen. As long as his father gathered a full set of Spirit Bones, his strength would see a sudden explosion.]
[Whether it was spiritual power Rank or his own foundational strength, everything would undergo a leap in growth.]
[Especially...]
["This torso bone is roughly eighty thousand years old. Among these Spirit Bones, it is the highest in both value and age."]
["With this Spirit Bone, Father, your strength can definitely take a huge step forward."]
[Looking at the torso bone in his hand, which glowed with a faint blue light, Yu Xiaogang's heart raced.]
[Of the six Spirit Bone positions for a Spirit Master, the most important and strongest part is undoubtedly the torso bone.]
[Given Spirit Bones of the same age, Spirit Masters would definitely choose the torso bone first.]
[At Auctions, those put up for bidding are generally arm bones and leg bones; rarely does anyone put torso bones or head bones up for sale.]
[Because the moment someone tried to Auction a torso or head bone, the Auction house would immediately offer a price to buy it themselves.]
[And now, he not only held a ten thousand year torso bone, but its age was eighty thousand years.]
[To put it bluntly, the value of this torso bone was already close to catching up with a hundred thousand year arm or leg bone.]
[Being able to obtain such a torso bone was truly a stroke of extreme luck.]
