Tang San's voice was filled with incitement.
However, deep within his heart, a much bolder voice echoed.
Merge? No, it is annexation.
When that time comes, Shrek will surely surpass Blue Silver, and I will make this place the true home turf of Shrek!
The other six monsters were unaware of Tang San's inner thoughts, and upon hearing his words, their spirits were instantly lifted.
"That's right! Little San is right!"
"We will use our strength to prove who is the number one academy on the continent!"
The group was filled with righteous indignation, having regained their confidence.
Zhu Zhuqing's cold, clear voice rang out: "How do we get in? Rongrong... she should be inside right now."
Tang San nodded.
"Mn, let us find Ning Rongrong first."
"I will go in to find Rongrong first; you all wait a moment."
Tang San gave instructions to the group and walked straight toward the gates of Blue Silver Academy.
Sunset Forest, center.
Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Chen Xuan's figure appeared quietly, and beside him stood the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, with a complex expression on his face.
Looking at the spring before him—one half scorching like magma, the other half cold as black ice—Dugu Bo's heart could not calm down for a long time.
He still could not fathom how this treasure land, which he had regarded as his most precious possession for decades, had been taken.
If not for the fact that his granddaughter Dugu Yan's martial soul had evolved because of it, he would have been miserable long ago.
"Senior, what exactly do you intend to do by bringing me here?"
Dugu Bo could ultimately no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart.
Chen Xuan did not look at him, his gaze calmly fixed on the swaying Blue Silver Grass in the center of the spring.
That was the true form of Ah Yin.
"No need to ask."
Chen Xuan's voice was very faint, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Dugu Bo felt a chill in his heart.
From that indifferent tone, he heard a hint of indisputable majesty.
This senior's strength was unfathomable; even his own precious granddaughter was willing to take him as her master.
As a mere ordinary Titled Douluo, it was better for him to speak less and watch less.
"Yes, this junior spoke out of turn."
Dugu Bo obediently shut his mouth and stood respectfully to the side.
Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
He flipped his wrist, and his storage Soul Tool flashed with light.
The next moment, a pile of rare treasures, shimmering with flowing light and radiating immense life force and soul power fluctuations, appeared out of thin air on the ground.
Boom!
The extremely pure energy aura instantly swept across the entire valley!
The air around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well became viscous due to this massive surge of energy.
Dugu Bo's eyes widened to the size of copper bells, and his breathing stalled at that very moment.
His gaze was glued to the pile of treasures, unable to look away.
"This... this is... a hundred-thousand-year Blood Spirit Ginseng?!"
His voice trembled violently with excitement as he pointed to one of the ginsengs, which was blood-red throughout and shaped like an infant.
Above that ginseng, blood-colored halos circulated, and the dense life essence almost materialized!
"And that... that is the Vast Sea Pearl! Also a hundred-thousand-year one!"
"The legendary supreme treasure that can only be gestated by the overlords of the deep sea!"
Dugu Bo's gaze shifted to a fist-sized bead emitting a cerulean blue light, his heart pounding wildly.
His line of sight continued to move.
"Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma... Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow... Earth Dragon Golden Melon..."
Every time he recognized an item, his mind suffered another heavy blow.
Any one of these, if taken out, would be enough to stir up a bloody storm across the entire continent; they were peerless treasures that even Titled Douluos would risk their lives for!
Yet now, these legendary items were piled casually on the ground like common cabbages by the roadside.
Dugu Bo felt his worldview being completely overturned at this very moment.
Having lived for so many years, he considered himself well-informed, but the scene before him had completely exceeded his imagination.
What on earth... was the background of this senior?
The treasury of Martial Soul Hall probably couldn't even compare to half of this place, could it?
Just as Dugu Bo's mind was reeling and his brain was a blank slate.
Chen Xuan casually picked up a crystal-clear leg bone, which radiated a dark green halo, from the pile of treasures and tossed it toward Dugu Bo.
"Take this."
Dugu Bo reached out and caught it instinctively; it felt warm to the touch, and a surge of majestic soul power instantly flooded his senses.
A Soul Bone!
And it was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone at that!
Dugu Bo's hand trembled in fright, and he nearly dropped the soul bone.
He held the soul bone as if he were cradling a volcano, his entire being stunned.
"Sen... Senior... this... this is too precious! This junior is unworthy of such a gift!"
Flattered and overwhelmed, Dugu Bo hurriedly tried to return the soul bone.
This was a supreme treasure that every soul master dreamed of; in his entire life, he had only managed to obtain one by sheer luck, and it was a skull of the lowest quality.
Yet this right leg bone before him was of extremely high quality, and the fluctuations of soul power contained within it were simply shocking!
Chen Xuan glanced at him and said indifferently.
"This is already one of the most ordinary items I have."
"Take it; consider it compensation for offering up this treasured land."
Dugu Bo's movements froze.
He looked down at the soul bone in his hands and sensed it carefully.
The aura of this soul bone clearly originated from a highly toxic soul beast with a cultivation age of at least eighty thousand years!
An eighty-thousand-year soul bone!
And this... was just ordinary?
Dugu Bo was left completely speechless.
He felt his perception being rubbed into the dirt and crushed once again.
Compared to this senior, his own collection and net worth, which he had always taken pride in, were nothing but a joke.
"You should step aside for a moment."
Chen Xuan's voice rang out once more.
Dugu Bo snapped out of his daze, hurriedly tucked the soul bone carefully into his Soul Tool, and bowed deeply to Chen Xuan.
"Yes! This junior will stand guard outside; should Senior have any orders, please summon me at any time!"
With that, he dared not linger for even a second, turning and darting rapidly toward the outside of the valley.
Once he had left the perimeter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo stopped and looked back at the valley shrouded in thick fog, his heart still churning with turbulent waves.
Curiosity scratched at his heart like a cat's claws.
What exactly was the senior planning to do, taking out so many heavenly treasures and sending him away?
Could he be refining some earth-shattering divine pill?
As the thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but circulate his soul power, extending his spiritual perception to try and get a glimpse of what was happening.
However, the moment his spiritual power touched the edge of the valley, it was as if it had slammed into an invisible yet indestructible wall, instantly rebounding!
"Ugh!"
Dugu Bo let out a muffled groan, feeling a sharp pain in his brain as his face instantly turned pale.
His eyes were filled with horror.
What a powerful restriction!
His own spiritual power, as a dignified Titled Douluo, couldn't even get close!
"As expected of Senior... his methods are truly heaven-defying."
Dugu Bo completely abandoned any thought of prying, honestly sitting cross-legged to stand guard for Chen Xuan.
Inside the valley.
An invisible energy barrier completely isolated this place from the outside world.
