Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull

Emperor Xue Ye acted decisively. After finalizing the aforementioned matters, he ended the conversation.

Emerging from the study, Yu Xiaogang was guided by a maidservant to the palace gates.

A luxuriously decorated carriage was already waiting there. Yu Xiaogang boarded the carriage, where two middle-aged men were seated: Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Upon seeing them, Yu Xiaogang immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for waiting for me here."

"Ah," Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and pressed Yu Xiaogang's hands down, then smiled, "There's no need for such formality. We brought Master here, so naturally, we must see him off. One must see things through to the end. Besides, Master has now been appointed Imperial Advisor, so we can interact as equals."

Yu Xiaogang no longer refused, nodded, and said, "Sect Master Ning, you weren't waiting outside the door the entire time, were you? If you were, I would truly be ashamed."

"Imperial Advisor, please don't overthink it," Ning Fengzhi waved his hand. "Sword Uncle and I just visited the Eastern Palace. The current Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe, is my disciple, and he is very interested in this Session's Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition."

"I discussed the details with the Crown Prince, and he now places great importance on Shrek Academy and the Imperial Advisor."

Xue Qinghe? It's probably Qian Renxue!

But I can't tell anyone about this yet. I've only just taken office as Imperial Advisor; I need to achieve something first.

Yu Xiaogang's thoughts raced, and then he smiled, "That is the honor of our Shrek Academy."

The two then discussed Ning Rongrong's affairs. Yu Xiaogang did not hide the matter of Ning Rongrong and Oscar's relationship, and upon hearing it, Ning Fengzhi's face immediately showed a pensive expression.

Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang alighted from the carriage and walked towards the academy gates.

From the guardhouse nearby, two figures also emerged at that moment: Liu Erlong and Flender, who had been waiting.

The three entered the academy together, and Yu Xiaogang took the opportunity to recount his conversation with Emperor Xue Ye.

Inside the dormitory.

Yu Xiaogang collapsed onto the bed, letting out a long sigh. A feeling of exhaustion washed over him.

But thinking that more than half the night had already passed and that there were still new entries in the system to complete.

Fortunately, he got up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and summoned the System Panel.

Late at night.

Star Dou Great Forest, by a lake.

Yu Xiaogang's figure suddenly appeared.

Splash, splash...

The sound of trickling water suddenly reached his ears. Yu Xiaogang looked up at the lake.

The moonlight scattered across the lake's surface, making the entire body of water appear exceptionally sacred.

And in the center of the lake, a woman was bathing.

The moonlight outlined an elegant, snow-white back. The woman's hands reached into the lake water, gently scooping up a handful.

The lake water flowed through her fingers, yet the woman unhurriedly splashed it onto herself.

The clear, bright lake water patted against her snow-white skin, moistening her neck, her shoulders, and finally sliding down her delicate, jade-like back, merging back into the lake.

When this scene appeared before Yu Xiaogang's eyes, his gaze was as if drawn by an invisible force, unable to move even an inch.

The maiden in the lake shook her light-golden hair, then slowly turned around.

A flawless face immediately appeared before him. The moment the woman saw Yu Xiaogang, there was no trace of girlish shyness in her eyes. Instead, a hint of allure surfaced, and a smile appeared on her face.

The woman then swam to the edge of the lake, slowly emerged from the water, and walked towards Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang, however, stood rooted to the spot the entire time, his expression becoming somewhat dazed.

The woman arrived in front of Yu Xiaogang. Her vibrant red lips parted, and a captivating voice sounded.

"Am I beautiful?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression remained dazed; he did not utter a sound.

The woman then extended her right hand and placed it on Yu Xiaogang's chest.

Feeling Yu Xiaogang's vigorously beating heart, a smile immediately bloomed on the woman's face.

The smile grew wider and wider, from an initially enchanting allure to a near-madness.

A wicked glint flashed in the woman's eyes, and a sharp, terrifying voice emanated from her mouth.

"Stupid human."

The slender palm placed on Yu Xiaogang's chest began to enlarge, instantly transforming into a fox claw stained with blood.

The woman's body also swelled. Her originally graceful form shifted into a black fox nearly three meters tall.

The fox's fur was stained with blood. It let out a cry to the heavens, and a dense crimson mist instantly spread out.

The originally silver, sacred lake transformed into a blood-red lake emitting a foul stench.

A bloodthirsty madness flickered in the fox's eyes, and it then lunged towards Yu Xiaogang's head.

At that very moment, a transparent vertical eye on Yu Xiaogang's forehead instantly opened. Immediately, a purple light shot out from it, piercing into the fox's forehead.

The fox's body froze. Its blood-stained maw stopped just above Yu Xiaogang's head.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes instantly cleared, and the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul then possessed him, instantly activating the Thousand Year Soul Ring on his body.

A pair of dragon claws, a meter long, extended from his palms, piercing directly through the fox in front of him.

Yu Xiaogang shook his arms, and the fox in front of him was completely torn in half, falling to the ground.

Looking at the fox demon corpse torn in half before him, a faint purple hue flickered in Yu Xiaogang's eyes as he said:

"A 50,000-year-old Phantom Spirit Fox, its Spirit Power level should be comparable to a peak Soul Saint. After my Purple Demon Eye broke through to the Mustard Seed Realm, my Spirit Power level has already faintly crossed the threshold of Soul Douluo, so its illusions did not affect me."

"It's also fortunate that this Phantom Spirit Fox's talents were all focused on Spirit Power, with its physical body being extremely weak. Even when using its Thousand Year Soul Skill, I could easily tear its body apart."

[Mission Complete, Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull obtained]

Inside the dormitory.

Yu Xiaogang's consciousness returned to his body. Within the panel before him, a skull emitting a brilliant blue light slowly appeared.

Flames burned in the eye sockets of the skull, as if it possessed consciousness, looking at Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Two blue beams of light then shot into Yu Xiaogang's eyes. Yu Xiaogang's consciousness was lifted by an invisible force, and then began to roam in a vast ocean of blue Spirit Power.

The skull moved slowly in mid-air, gradually descending, and finally fitted itself over Yu Xiaogang's brain.

As the blue light was injected, the skull also began to shrink gradually, and slowly merged into Yu Xiaogang's skull.
