Soul Bones, Journey to the Extreme Cold Land

Xiao Wu's face also filled with terror. She had never expected Mu Yu's strength to have reached such a level!

The Nightmare Domain covered a vast area, enveloping everyone from Shrek Academy as well.

Inside the domain was the scene of Hell Road in Slaughter City.

The Three-Headed Bat King and the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent surrounded the Titan Giant Ape.

Under the attacks of the two powerful spirit beasts, the Titan Giant Ape suffered grievous injuries. Tang San took the chance to pull Xiao Wu back, but no one noticed the desolation in her eyes.

What shocked everyone even more was the domain! That was something spirit masters did not even dare dream of! Such a powerful domain was even rarer, something that could only be encountered by chance.

The Titan Giant Ape was on the verge of death, and Mu Yu's domain vanished.

"Do it. Take your eighth spirit ring."

Mu Yu did not call Ah Yin by name, afraid of attracting attention.

Ah Yin nodded. The branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor wrapped around the Titan Giant Ape. Then, a golden-and-blue spear appeared in Ah Yin's hand. With one thrust, a red spirit ring emerged from the Titan Giant Ape's body.

"No!"

Xiao Wu and the Sky Azure Bull Python, who had just arrived, cried out at the same time.

"Er Ming!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python roared.

"Don't rush. You're next."

Under Zhao Wuji's astonished gaze, Mu Yu waved her hand.

"I don't feel like doing this one myself. Help me out."

After Mu Yu spoke, the silver-haired youth swiftly flew out of the air and headed toward Da Ming.

"Why?! We're both spirit beasts!"

Da Ming roared unwillingly. He was certainly no match for Xiao Mo.

"I'm a sea spirit beast. What does that have to do with you? Besides, you abandoned your post without permission. It's already merciful enough that Di Tian didn't deal with you personally!"

With that, powerful force charged straight at Da Ming.

Mu Yu also seized the opportunity to deliver the Sky Azure Bull Python a fatal blow.

Zhao Wuji was stunned. In just a few minutes, the forest's two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had both died at Mu Yu's hands!

After killing the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, Mu Yu skillfully removed their spirit bones.

"Teacher Zhao, let's rest here today. I can absorb the spirit rings and spirit bones here. Tomorrow morning, we'll hunt spirit rings for Xiao San, Xiao Wu, Rongrong, and Zhuqing."

"Alright, Your Highness. You've worked hard."

No one noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality, but Ah Yin saw the look in her eyes that wanted to kill Mu Yu and gave her a disdainful glance.

Ah Yin walked over to Mu Yu and quietly asked, "Aren't we going to capture that rabbit?"

Mu Yu shook her head. "Not yet."

"Absorb this spirit ring first."

"Xiao Mo, guard us."

"Alright!"

After absorbing it, Mu Yu successfully reached level eighty and obtained a full set of spirit bones.

Ah Yin also successfully reached level eighty.

"Xiao Mo, take the spirit bones back to Teacher. Tell her they're a gift from me."

Xiao Mo nodded and headed toward the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When the spirit bones were placed before Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both of them were still dumbfounded.

They knew of the Titan Giant Ape's title as the Forest King... Even they did not dare provoke that great being lightly, yet Mu Yu had placed its spirit bone here today...

"You mean... Xiao Yu gave this to me?"

"Yes."

"..."

"I already have a Left Arm Bone..."

Upon hearing that, Chen Xin gave a sly smile.

"Then this spirit bone is mine~"

"Alright, alright, take it..."

On Mu Yu's side, she took advantage of the night to enter Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing's tent.

"Sis? What are you doing here?"

Because she had finally gathered a full set of spirit bones, Mu Yu was in an extremely good mood, so...

"Rongrong, I'm in a good mood today. I'll give you another chance to choose regarding that old question."

"Huh? What question?"

"Do you want an External Soul Bone or not?"

Ning Rongrong fell silent...

"Yes! Why wouldn't I?"

Seeing that Mu Yu had changed her mind, Ning Rongrong jumped up excitedly and snatched the spirit bone from Mu Yu's hand.

Zhu Zhuqing looked on with envy. Why was the gap between someone else's sister and her own sister so huge?

Mu Yu glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, then took out another spirit bone.

"Zhuqing, let me ask you something."

"Hm?"

"Are you willing to follow Rongrong and me?"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes lit up. "Of course I am!"

"Even if it means giving up the position of second princess consort of the Star Luo Empire?"

"Mhm!"

Mu Yu smiled. She had picked up an adorable little cat for free~

"This is the left leg bone of a Ten Thousand Year Ghost Leopard."

"For... me?"

Zhu Zhuqing's voice trembled slightly as she looked at Mu Yu in disbelief.

"Mm. It's nothing valuable. Absorb it."

"Nothing valuable."

Zhu Zhuqing happily absorbed the spirit bone.

She had decided! From now on, Zhu Zhuyun was not her real sister—Mu Yu was!

The next day, everyone resumed their spirit-hunting journey. Tang San did not luckily obtain a thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider, but another thousand-year spirit beast instead.

Mu Yu, meanwhile, chose excellent Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts for both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

Absorbing spirit rings beyond their level once again refreshed Zhao Wuji's understanding.

After returning, Xiao Wu finally behaved herself. Clearly, Da Ming and Er Ming's deaths had affected her greatly.

And the brain-dead Master began putting everyone at Shrek Academy through devilish training. Mu Yu had no objection to that.

Although she disliked the idiotic Master, she had to admit that his devilish training was effective.

They were either training or going to the Great Soul Arena. Mu Yu seemed to have no use other than delivering meals, so she handed that task to Xiao Mo and planned to find herself some new cheats.

The Cheat King had many cheats, but she had even more. After all, she had taken quite a few things from the Cheat King.

She planned to explore the Extreme Cold Land. Hardly anyone went there, but it was full of good things.

At the very least, there were the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and the big worm. And there had to be even more good stuff.

This time, her mission was to get the big worm. As for the two beauties... that would depend on luck.

Naturally, Mu Yu did not need to handle the matter of finding the way. If such trivial matters had to trouble Mu Yu, then what was the point of keeping so many spirit beasts? She might as well feed them to swans.

After riding dragons all the way to the Extreme Cold Land, piercingly cold winds blew straight into their faces.

"This is really cold."

"Tell me, why doesn't a single one of you have fur?"

Along the way, Mu Yu had basically kept asking why fish did not grow fur...

When they arrived at an ice cavern, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King clearly sensed the power unique to a Million Year Spirit Beast.

"There must be something good here."

"Then let's go down from here!"

Once they entered the water, it became Xi Ruo and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's territory.

Xi Ruo placed a barrier around Mu Yu, then began diving.

"Big worm! Big worm! Let me see where you are, big worm?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: ???

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who was currently sleeping, sensed an unprecedented feeling of danger.

"Seems like someone has set their sights on me? Better run first!"

Just as the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was about to flee forward, Xi Ruo blocked him.

"Hi~"

Seeing that things were not looking good, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm ran backward.

The Demon Empress appeared. "Yo~ A million-year big worm!"

He ran left, where Xiao Mo had been waiting for a long time. "Wow~ What a plump snack!"

On the right, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was telling stories to his daughter.

"Little treasure, now~ we're going to~ catch! A! Worm!"

"..."

Finally, Mu Yu leaped down from Di Tian's back and delivered heavenly justice.

"Yo, Brother Sky Dream, having fun?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: ...Damn it...

As several spirit beasts dragged him before Mu Yu, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm desperately thought over exactly how he had offended her.

"No, Sis, how exactly did I offend you? Why did you call so many people to tie me up?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said aggrievedly.

"Huh? You didn't offend me."

"Then why are you capturing me?!"

"A Million Year Spirit Beast with no combat ability... free is free."

"..."

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was speechless. So he was just a free spirit ring...

"Sis... let's talk this out, can't we..."

"No!"

"Brother Sky Dream, think about it. How hard is it to find a human with a spiritual-type martial soul, who's also a twin martial soul, and who wants you this badly!"

"What you said makes sense, but!"

"But what, Brother Sky Dream? Do you think you can still escape?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: ...

"I'll give you two choices. First, become my spirit ring and live in my sea of spirit. Second, I kill you and make you my spirit ring."

"I choose the first!"

"That's more like it!"

In the end, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reluctantly became Mu Yu's seventh spirit ring...

"Hey, Brother Sky Dream, do you know where the Ice Empress is?"

"..."

"Forget it, I won't ask you. There's no point finding her now anyway..."

I'll come back when I reach level ninety...

"Then what do we do now?" Di Tian asked.

"Go home."

"Huh? We finally came out, and we're going back already?"

"Mhm. We need to go back and receive guests."

"Guests?"

"You'll know when we get back."

Mu Yu was quite good at calculating time. She estimated that Dugu Yan and the others should have arrived in Suotuo City by now. As for the battle between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and Shrek Academy, it would be best to avoid it if possible.

Sure enough, as soon as they returned to Suotuo City, news arrived that Shrek Academy was fighting Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Damn it! I missed it! It's all that big worm's fault!

Well, there was no helping it! She could only rely on herself... Heaven Dou Royal Academy definitely could not lose... Rongrong would just have to suffer a little~

"Take me to Heaven Dou Royal Academy's lounge." Mu Yu quickly arrived before the city lord.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The city lord immediately burst into tears! Someone could finally rein in Heaven Dou Royal Academy! If this continued, the Great Soul Arena would really go bankrupt!

When she reached the lounge door, Mu Yu pushed it open and walked straight in.

"Yanzi! Lingling!"

Dugu Yan was lounging on the sofa. When she heard the voice, she froze for a moment.

"Xiao Yu'er!"

"Yanyan, you came to my territory. Why didn't you come find me?"

"Hah, who told our Eldest Miss Mu to be so busy? I couldn't find you!"

Mu Yu paused, then smiled awkwardly. "What are you talking about~"

"You've made the Suotuo Great Soul Arena lose quite a lot of money this time. That's enough."

"That won't do! Just two days ago, some Shrek Academy said they wanted to take us on!"

Seeing that Dugu Yan refused to budge, Mu Yu turned to Yu Tianheng.

"Brother Tianheng, your girlfriend is acting like this. Aren't you going to do something?"

Yu Tianheng glanced at Dugu Yan. "How could I possibly control her?"

"Ohoho~ The captain and his wife are so lovey-dovey~"

Osler suddenly came over to join the conversation.

"Looks like I can't stop you, huh? Then I'll have to set a condition."

"Go ahead~"

"I want to compete."

The Royal Team members stared at Mu Yu in shock.

"You?" None of them could believe it!

"I count as a member of our academy too, don't I?"

Mu Yu shifted her gaze to Qin Ming, who had remained silent the entire time.

Qin Ming's expression was not very pleasant.

He had originally wanted the Royal Academy to see how formidable Shrek was. After all, that was his alma mater. But if Mu Yu took the field... then Shrek would have no chance of winning...

"Student Mu Yu, why do you want to compete?"

Qin Ming asked Mu Yu in confusion.

"Huh? Because I want to. I'm also a member of the Royal Academy, aren't I?"

"You are indeed a member of the academy, but... if you compete, then I don't think there's any point in this match..."

"Then have them admit defeat."

Qin Ming:?

"Student Mu Yu, why do you want them to lose so badly?"

"Because I want to."

Qin Ming was somewhat at a loss. Although Dugu Yan and the others were children of noble families, they had never defied him before.

"Student Mu Yu, I arranged this match for their own good, but now that you've come, you're simply disrupting my teaching plan!"

Although the Royal Academy students respected Qin Ming, that did not mean Qin Ming could disrespect Mu Yu in front of them.

Dugu Yan was closest to Mu Yu, so she was the first to speak.

"Teacher Qin, Xiao Yu is one of us. I don't see any problem with her competing alongside us. Besides, what makes you think your teaching plan is necessarily right? Xiao Yu's strength is probably on par with yours!"

Qin Ming choked up. He had not expected Dugu Yan to confront him so directly.

"No, Yan Yan, you're wrong. I'm already level eighty now. I'm stronger than him."

Mu Yu calmly spoke those words. Although the Royal Academy students were surprised, they were even more arrogant now.

They respected Qin Ming only because he was young and remarkably capable. But Mu Yu was a genius beyond him by who knew how many times! Why should they still listen to Qin Ming?

Yu Tianheng stepped forward as well. "It's settled, then. Mu Yu will participate in this spirit battle."

Qin Ming angrily slammed his fist against the table and looked to see the others' reactions. But it was obvious that no one from the Royal Academy paid him any attention.

Mu Yu was a friend they had known for years, but what was Qin Ming to them? Just a Soul Master with slightly better talent. What gave him the right to think everyone at the Royal Academy would listen to him?

Just then, a manager from the spirit battle arena approached. "Everyone, the match begins in half an hour. Please make your preparations."

Ignoring Qin Ming, everyone began discussing their strategy.

"Mu Yu, there are seven of us here. If you join, one person will probably have to sit out."

Ye Lingling voluntarily raised her hand. "I happen to have caught a slight cold recently. Xiao Yu is a Support System Soul Master, so she can take my place."

"Alright, Mu Yu will replace Lingling."

"Next is the strategy..."

"We only need to watch out for Tang San. He might try something underhanded. Everyone knows Rongrong well enough, and Zhu Zhuqing is Rongrong's friend, so go a little easier on those two. As for the rest... they aren't worth mentioning."

"Mm, Boss Mu, we'll be relying on you in a bit~"

"I just want to end this quickly, then hurry up and send you living King Yamas away."

"Hehe, Boss Mu, you flatter us~"

The match was about to begin, and both sides stood on the spirit battle arena.

"Mu Yu! Why is it her?!"

The moment Dai Mubai saw Mu Yu's figure, he cried out in surprise.

Ning Rongrong immediately saw through her sister's intentions.

She explained to Dai Mubai and the others, "My sister is from Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Naturally, there's no problem with her representing the Royal Academy in this match."

By now, anyone with eyes could see that Mu Yu did not want Shrek Academy to win.

Flender and the other two, who were watching from the stands, also frowned.

"Heh, what does she mean by coming here?"

"I think it's because that so-called Royal Academy is too weak and can't even show its face!"

"Xiao Gang, don't say that. It's still an academy for nobles, after all."

(Happy National Day, everyone. Thank you all for your support. I've been a little busy, so there may only be one update. But the word count will still satisfy everyone.)
