Distributing the Soul Bones

The referee took a deep breath and raised his right hand. "In the final, Shrek Team wins! The champion of this Continental Elite High-Level Soul Master Academy Tournament is Shrek Academy!"

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

The Shrek Academy substitutes and teachers from the rest area rushed forward.

The crowd surrounded Tang San.

It's unclear who made the first move, but then seven or eight people simultaneously reached out and grabbed Tang San's arms and legs.

"Rise!"

Tang San's body was thrown high into the air, tumbled once, and then fell.

The crowd caught him, tossed him up again, and caught him again.

"Champion! Champion! Champion!"

Each toss was accompanied by a deafening shout.

On the VIP platform, Xue Qinghe stood up.

He slightly raised his chin, his gaze passing over the cheering crowd on the arena and landing on the golden figure in the Pope's Palace.

His gaze was filled with pride and disdain.

If you want your disciple to become famous throughout the world, I will make your disciple lose face in front of the world.

Xue Qinghe's lips curved into a very shallow, faint smile, carrying an air of superior composure.

It was as if all of this had been within his expectations from the very beginning.

Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong slightly tightened her grip on her scepter, stood up, and all the Titled Douluos also rose to their feet.

Congratulations on your final victory!

No one detected the resentment in Bibi Dong's voice.

The Shrek team members, immersed in joy, quieted down, each of them beaming with pride.

Bibi Dong calmly announced, "The final champion of the Continental Elite Tournament for Advanced Soul Master Academies is Shrek Academy. Congratulations to you, talented young Soul Masters!"

At this moment, the Shrek team members' eyes were all fixed on the brocade plate containing four Soul Bones, which were about to belong to Shrek.

At this moment, although Bibi Dong, as the Pope, was extremely unwilling, she could not deny it in public.

If she goes back on her word, the reputation of the Spirit Hall will be ruined, and the prestige she has built up over the years will vanish.

She displayed the composure expected, accepting the brocade tray from the Spirit Hall personnel, her gaze lingering somewhat on the four Soul Bones.

Each of these Soul Bones was hard-won and priceless.

But Bibi Dong still picked up the brocade plate and held it in front of her.

The cardinal, acting as the referee, announced loudly, "Representatives from the Shrek Academy, please step forward to receive the championship prize."

Tang San took a deep breath and strode forward without hesitation, walking step by step toward Pope Bibi Dong.

When he actually stood before Bibi Dong, he observed her carefully.

I must say, she truly deserves to be the dream goddess of countless otaku in her past life.

She was stunningly beautiful.

The long, golden gown cascaded from head to toe, perfectly outlining her slender figure.

Her fair skin shimmered softly in the sunlight, as smooth as porcelain, without a single flaw.

Her features were so exquisite they seemed unreal; her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were like cherries.

Long, purple hair cascaded down from beneath the purple-gold crown, falling behind her shoulders and swaying gently in the breeze.

Noble, elegant, and serene.

It seems that every beautiful word can be used to describe this woman.

Although she is no longer young, the years seem to have left no trace on her.

She stood there, aloof and noble, making one want to look at her a few more times.

Bibi Dong noticed Tang San's bold and undisguised gaze.

A hint of pride flashed in her eyes; it had been a long time since anyone had dared to look her in the eye with such greed.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Tang San, her purple eyes gleaming as she spoke with her usual magnanimity, "You are outstanding. Would you like to join the Spirit Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San turned and glanced in the direction of Xue Qinghe on the VIP platform.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and they smiled slightly.

Tang San withdrew his gaze, turned to Bibi Dong, and said firmly, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid I will have to disappoint His Holiness the Pope. This junior is only willing to follow His Crown Prince."

Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged, as if this answer was something she had expected all along; she simply felt obligated to ask as the Pope to demonstrate her appreciation for talent.

She didn't say anything more, but simply nodded slightly and handed the brocade plate in her hand to Tang San.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the four Soul Bones, Tang San reached out and accepted the brocade tray.

Greedy gazes were directed at us from all around.

What Soul Master wouldn't yearn for Soul Bone?

Amidst a sea of greedy gazes, Tang San rejoined his companions.

The group began discussing the distribution of the Soul Bones.

Jing Ling spoke first, "I don't need it. I'm already very satisfied with winning the championship. Captain, you main players deserve the most credit, so the Soul Bones should go to you."

Huang Yuan, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong, who were acting as substitutes, immediately echoed this sentiment, all expressing their intention to forgo the allocation of Soul Bones.

Tang San understood that they were sincere.

Apart from Ning Rongrong, the other three are from commoner backgrounds and do not have powerful family connections.

If they obtain the Soul Bone, they are innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.

Given their strength and background, they have no chance of protecting the Soul Bone; on the contrary, they might bring about their own demise.

They understand this principle.

Flender, as the dean, pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Since everyone is being so modest, then I'll offer my suggestion."

He pointed to the two skulls on the platter. "I suggest giving these two skulls to Tang San, Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Ye Lingling. They are all absolute core players; without them, Shrek has absolutely no chance of winning the championship. As for how to distribute them, you four are a family, so you can decide for yourselves."

Everyone nodded, and no one objected.

Flender then pointed to the left leg bone, "This 'Rapid Advance Wind Chasing Left Leg has been a mainstay for Dai Mubai, contributing greatly. I suggest giving it to him."

He paused, looked at Dai Mubai, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.

Flender's meaning was clear: he hoped Dai Mubai would give the Soul Bone to Zhu Zhuqing to improve their relationship.

Finally, Flender pointed to the fiery red right arm bone, "This Flame Right Arm Bone is suitable for Power Attack System Soul Masters. Tai Long is also a key player and has contributed a lot, so I suggest giving it to him."

Furthermore, what Flender didn't mention is that Tang San has the Crown Prince behind him, Dai Mubai has the Star Luo Empire behind him, and Tai Long Strength Clan behind him; basically, no one dares to mess with them.

Tang San nodded after listening.

Flender's plan was very well thought out, taking into account both contributions and human relationships.

"Okay, then let's allocate them according to the dean's plan," Tang San said.

He picked up the two skulls from the brocade plate and put them into his Storage Soul Tool, then gave the other two Soul Bones to Tai Long and Dai Mubai respectively.

Dai Mubai and Tai Long did not refuse; they simply nodded vigorously and carefully put the Soul Bone into their pockets.

Upon seeing that Shrek Academy had completed its assignments, the Cardinal immediately announced, "The Continental Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has come to a successful conclusion!"

The crowd began to disperse.

Xue Qinghe, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and others walked over.

"Congratulations, Third Brother!" Xue Qinghe walked up to Tang San, reached out his hand, grasped Tang San's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Crown Prince." Tang San's tone was respectful, a hint of ambiguous light flashing in his eyes that only the two of them could understand.

Xue Qinghe's ears turned slightly red, but he still managed to keep his expression unchanged.

He turned to face the Shrek Academy members, his voice gentle and warm. "Everyone, rest for the night, and we'll set off immediately to return to the Heaven Dou Empire tomorrow morning."

Everyone nodded and returned to the hotel.
