Xiao Wu: "Such a Small Place!"

"Is this... a Soul Bone?"

Before long, that peculiar Soul Power uncontrollably condensed into a claw that covered his right hand. Mo Bai was immediately stunned by the sight.

After carefully examining it and confirming that the claw now on his hand was indeed a Soul Bone, Mo Bai was utterly dumbfounded.

"Even a newborn infant Soul Beast can drop a Soul Bone? What are the odds of that?"

"Even if its mother was killed and it was swallowed alive, leaving behind such deep resentment that an infant Soul Beast dropped a Soul Bone... that would still count as a miracle, wouldn't it?"

Mo Bai was inexplicably overjoyed. It was practically like a pie falling from the sky!

"So, this is a right arm Soul Bone?"

"I was still wondering how I'd find a Soul Bone in the future, and now one has delivered itself right to me!"

Mo Bai had assumed that the claw on his hand was a right arm Soul Bone, because none of the martial soul knowledge he had encountered had ever mentioned External Soul Bones.

Not even Grandmaster's book had mentioned them!

That was why Mo Bai mistakenly believed that what had appeared on his right hand was a right arm Soul Bone.

Mo Bai continued studying the Soul Bone attached to his right palm. After a careful examination, he discovered that after fusing with it, his Soul Power had barely increased at all. Normally, fusing with a Soul Bone would cause one's Soul Power to surge somewhat.

This one had not. Presumably, it was because its age was too low.

Soul Bones were divided by age as well. Mo Bai's was probably the Soul Bone with the lowest age in the entire history of the Soul Land World!

"At least it gave me the Soul Skill Poison Claw, though it's not particularly useful!"

"What's truly useful is the Soul Bone itself!"

Mo Bai had not forgotten that the reason he wanted a Soul Bone was to cultivate his Jade Hand.

Previously, the poison accumulated through cultivating Jade Hand had always been condensed in the nails of all ten fingers.

Not only did that turn his nails black and look unpleasant, but if he cultivated it to a high enough level, he might even risk poisoning himself to death.

Now that he had a Soul Bone, he could try condensing the poison accumulated through cultivating Jade Hand onto the Soul Bone!

He acted as soon as he thought of it. Mo Bai immediately activated Jade Hand, then tried transferring the poison in his right hand onto the Soul Bone bit by bit.

"It really works!"

Mo Bai's eyes soon lit up as he delightedly watched the poison in his right hand transfer onto the Soul Bone.

The originally pale purple Soul Bone changed color completely after all the poison in his right hand was transferred into it, turning blackish purple. Mo Bai's right hand also completely returned to its normal color.

Mo Bai turned his right hand over and tried using Jade Hand again.

Very quickly, the poison flowed back from the Soul Bone into Mo Bai's right hand without the slightest obstruction. It was even smoother than when it had been condensed in his nails.

Next, Mo Bai tried retracting the Soul Bone back into his body—into his right palm—and then activated Jade Hand once more.

It still worked. He could use it even without manifesting the Soul Bone.

Finally, Mo Bai tried condensing all the poison into the Soul Bone, retracting it into his body, and then simply ignoring it completely.

Before, Mo Bai had always needed to be careful to keep the poison condensed in the nails of his ten fingers so that it would not poison him.

Because of that, Mo Bai had never dared to continue cultivating Jade Hand, stopping once the poison had reached an ordinary level.

"It really works. Even if I ignore it, the poison inside the Soul Bone won't leak out in the slightest!"

"Good, this is great!"

"Now I can finally cultivate Jade Hand without worry!"

The result came quickly. As long as he did not use it, the poison condensed inside the Soul Bone truly remained there quietly and completely.

"As expected of a Soul Bone. It's really too useful!"

As Mo Bai marveled, he used contact between his hands to absorb all the poison from his left hand into his right. In the end, he condensed all of the poison into the Soul Bone in his right palm.

"Now these are the hands a normal man should have!"

Looking at his hands, whose nails had returned to normal, Mo Bai was overjoyed.

He did not like his nails having any other color.

"With this, only my right hand will remain poisonous when I use Jade Hand. If I want my left hand to be poisonous too, I'll have to transfer the poison over before or during a fight!"

"But it doesn't matter. One hand is enough to poison all my hidden weapons anyway!"

"Once I get a left-hand Soul Bone in the future, there won't be any problem!"

Humans were never easily satisfied. Mo Bai had just been ecstatic, yet now he was already thinking about getting a left-hand Soul Bone in the future.

Mo Bai chose to keep the matter of obtaining the right-hand Soul Bone hidden and did not tell the Dean or the others.

After all, Soul Bones were far too valuable. Even though Mo Bai's one-year-old Soul Bone offered limited enhancement to a Soul Master, he still chose to conceal it.

"Mo Bai, Xiao Wu!"

"Teacher recommended an academy called Shrek Academy to me. After you graduate, do you want to go there with me?"

In the end, Tang San still told Mo Bai and Xiao Wu about Shrek Academy.

"I've never heard of Shrek Academy! Why would Grandmaster recommend that academy to you?"

Xiao Wu's big eyes immediately filled with curiosity when she heard Tang San's words.

"That's because this academy only accepts geniuses. If you're not a genius, they won't take you at all!"

Seeing Xiao Wu's interest, Tang San quickly told her what he knew about Shrek Academy.

"You have to reach Rank 20 as a Great Soul Master by the age of twelve at the latest?"

"There's actually an academy with such high requirements?"

Upon hearing Tang San's introduction, Xiao Wu immediately cried out in surprise. Even Mo Bai was intrigued.

"Tell us, what other special features does this academy have? How are its resources? Does it have simulated environment training?"

Mo Bai spoke up to ask.

Since Grandmaster had recommended it to Tang San, this academy definitely was not ordinary.

"Well... Teacher only told me that much. He said I'd learn more once I got there. Anyway, he said I definitely wouldn't be disappointed!"

Tang San smiled awkwardly at Mo Bai's question.

He truly had not pressed his teacher for further details.

"Then where is this academy located?"

Seeing that Tang San did not know either, Mo Bai asked about Shrek Academy's location.

Whether an academy was truly top-tier also depended on where it was situated.

"It's outside Suotuo City, one of the two largest cities in the Barack Kingdom!"

Tang San naturally knew the address and immediately answered.

"The Barack Kingdom, Suotuo City... isn't that just some small place?"

Xiao Wu scratched her chin with her right index finger. When she heard that Shrek Academy was located in a small place, her large eyes immediately lit up.

That suited her perfectly!

She was afraid of running into a Titled Douluo capable of seeing through her identity.

If it was somewhere small, then there was nothing to worry about!

"What do you think, Mo Bai? Should we go together too?"

"This academy sounds pretty interesting!"

With that thought in mind, Xiao Wu immediately turned to ask Mo Bai.
