Trading Spirit Bones for People, Arrangements

Huo Jun froze on the spot, his expression turning panicked.

"Poison Your Highness, they are my nephew and niece, my elder brother's children. If..."

"Enough! Keep babbling, and you won't be leaving either!"

Dugu Bo shouted coldly, his pupils narrowing like the eyes of an icy serpent.

"Stop bringing up Huo Lie. Do you think he's a Soul Master on the same level as this old man?"

Huo Jun was horrified, cold sweat continuously beading on his forehead. Dugu Bo was right. Though Huo Lie was the dean of Blazing Academy, he was merely an eight-ring Soul Fighting Douluo, utterly incomparable to Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo.

But Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu were the most outstanding geniuses Blazing Academy had seen in decades. No matter what, Huo Jun did not want to hand them over to Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo who acted without restraint.

"Go tell Huo Lie that his children offended this venerable one's grandson and granddaughter. Have him bring out two Spirit Bones in exchange for them. Otherwise, do not blame this old man for being merciless!"

Dugu Bo's words put Huo Jun in a difficult position. Spirit Bones were rare treasures on Douluo Continent. Even with Blazing Academy's strength, producing two Spirit Bones would be extremely difficult.

However, Huo Jun did not dare bargain with Dugu Bo. Everyone knew Dugu Bo's temperament. If you displeased him, it would not be strange for him to slaughter your entire family.

"Yes, Your Highness. I will truthfully relay this matter to my elder brother."

"Three days from now, Nuoding City. People for bones, hand to hand."

After agreeing, Huo Jun glanced once more at the Huo Wushuang Siblings, who did not even dare move, before swiftly leaving.

"Grandfather, if you had arrived even a little later, you would never have seen Yanzi again."

Once the outsiders had left, Dugu Yan jogged over to Dugu Bo and coquettishly complained in a loud voice.

"That wouldn't have happened. Once people saw the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, who would dare lay a hand on you?"

Dugu Bo stroked Dugu Yan's lovely hair and added,

"Besides, Blazing Academy is compensating us with two Spirit Bones. They can be used to equip one for each of you, Xiaoyang."

"Grandfather, so you asked for those Spirit Bones for Ayang and me?"

Dugu Yan was somewhat delighted.

"Of course."

Dugu Bo nodded.

"Your Highness! Could you save my sister first?"

Not far away, Huo Wushuang tightly held Huo Wu's body as he cried out for help.

Because of Huo Jun's interruption earlier, Dugu Yan had not detoxified Huo Wu.

Huo Wu, whose body had been ravaged by Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, was already at death's door.

Fortunately, Dugu Yang walked over at that moment and quickly detoxified Huo Wu.

Seeing his sister's condition improve, Huo Wushuang hurriedly thanked Dugu Yang.

"Thank you. Thank you."

Dugu Yang was slightly stunned. He had not expected Huo Wushuang to be rather polite.

"No need to thank me."

After saying that, Dugu Yang walked over to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

"Ayang, Grandfather said he's giving us Blazing Academy's two Spirit Bones!"

Dugu Yan said excitedly.

Even as the granddaughter of a Titled Douluo, Dugu Yan still longed for a Spirit Bone.

Dugu Yang, however, appeared quite calm as he said,

"Even Spirit Bones must be suitable for us."

Dugu Yang had high standards for his own equipment. Even if a low-quality Spirit Bone were placed right before him, he would not spare it a glance.

"Xiaoyang is right. Spirit Bones must suit their user. But even if the two Spirit Bones Blazing Academy gives us are unsuitable, we can sell them and exchange them for two that suit you."

Dugu Bo said.

"Fine, fine. You two know better than I do."

Dugu Yan curled her lips, then looked toward the Huo Wushuang Siblings in the distance.

After being detoxified, a trace of color had returned to Huo Wu's formerly deathly pale face. It seemed she would soon make a full recovery.

However, with Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, present, she did not dare harbor any improper thoughts.

"Grandfather, how should we deal with those two?"

"Leave them alone. With this old man watching, do you think they can run?"

Dugu Bo replied casually.

"Second Grandfather, why not let them hunt Spirit Rings with us?"

At that moment, Dugu Yang suddenly spoke up.

From how the two had been pursuing the Blazing Wolf earlier, it was clear that the Huo Wushuang Siblings had also come to Soul Hunting Forest to obtain Spirit Rings.

"They are defeated opponents. What right do they have to team up with us?"

Dugu Yan spoke disdainfully.

"Don't put it that way. Although they lost to us, the main reason was that they could not withstand the poison. Against Spirit Beasts, their usefulness may surpass ours."

Dugu Yang explained.

Dugu Yan was not much of an issue, since she only needed to obtain a Hundred Year Level Spirit Ring. But Dugu Yang needed to hunt a Thousand Year Level Tree Poison Toad.

Moreover, the Tree Poison Toad possessed the Passive Spirit Skill, Self-Adaptive Poison Body. It could be called the nemesis of Poison Soul Masters like them.

Even Dugu Yang was not particularly confident that he could defeat a Tree Poison Toad with Thousand Year Cultivation.

If the Huo Wushuang Siblings joined them, their odds of success would undoubtedly rise greatly.

Dugu Bo quickly understood this as well and said,

"Fine, we'll do as Xiaoyang says. It will save this old man from having to divide his attention to watch them."

The three did not care at all about the Huo Wushuang Siblings' opinions. With Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, here, they would agree whether they wanted to or not.

And that was indeed the case. After Dugu Yang told the Huo Wushuang Siblings that he needed them to accompany him in hunting Spirit Rings, the two agreed without the slightest hesitation.

They feared that if they delayed even a second, Dugu Bo behind them would poison them to death.

"Alright, you continue. This old man is going to Nuoding City to wait for Blazing Academy's people."

After speaking to Dugu Yang and Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo turned and vanished into the forest.

Though he said that, Dugu Yang knew Dugu Bo had surely hidden himself again, secretly protecting the two of them.

Dugu Yang did not expose him. Dugu Bo was doing it for their own good.

"Dugu Yang, what Spirit Beast are you planning to hunt?"

After Dugu Bo left, Huo Wushuang took the initiative to walk over to Dugu Yang and ask.

Though he could guess that Dugu Bo was definitely watching from the shadows, not seeing him in his field of vision still eased Huo Wushuang's mental pressure considerably.

"No rush. Since we are teaming up, we should first understand one another's abilities."

Dugu Yang spoke first.

"Level 20 Attack Type Battle Soul Master. Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent. I possess several kinds of potent poison."

"Level 20 Control Type Battle Soul Master. Martial Soul: Jade Phosphorous Serpent. I excel at Sneak Attacks."

Dugu Yan followed right after, deliberately glancing at Huo Wu as she spoke.

Huo Wu was furious, but having just been taught a lesson, she no longer dared act recklessly. She merely said in a low voice,

"Level 20 Control Type Battle Soul Master. Martial Soul: Fire Shadow. Spirit Skill: Fireball Technique."

"Level 21 Attack Type Soul Grandmaster. Martial Soul: Unicorn Fire Tyrant Dragon. Spirit Skills: Fireball Technique and Tyrant Dragon's Wrath."

Huo Wushuang was the only two-ring Soul Grandmaster among the four present, possessing two Spirit Skills.
