Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
After a month-long journey, the convoy returned to Heaven Dou City, while Hu Liena, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Although Hu Liena, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar have blemishes on their records due to the Shrek Academy incident, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy considers that the Heaven Dou Second Team defeated the Star Luo Royal Academy Team in this Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition, making it into the top three and bringing great glory to the Heaven Dou Empire. They also consider that Hu Liena, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar are young and can be considered victims.
Therefore, after discussion, the three faculty members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy decided that as long as Hu Liena, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and others were willing to fully register their student status at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they could become students of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and continue to stay there.
Hu Liena, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, and Oscar naturally agreed to completely sever ties with the Shrek Academy.
In the original story, at this point in time, Oscar should have joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then gone to the Frozen Forest to hunt Mirror Image Beast, obtain Soul Ring, and become Food-type Soul Master with combat abilities.
However, Oscar in this world hasn't consumed Immortal Grade Herb, and his cultivation speed is advancing by leaps and bounds. He hasn't yet broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm, so why would he leave the academy to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Frozen Forest? He'll first utilize the resources of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to quickly break through to the Soul Ancestor realm.
One location: Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Bibi Dong's face was still veiled. Her gaze was fixed on Hu Liena, whose face was filled with determination. She asked solemnly, "Nana, are you really sure about this?"
"I've made up my mind, Master. I haven't taken Immortal Grade Herb. My talent has already fallen far behind those people from the Spirit Hall. If this continues, their cultivation will surpass mine sooner or later. You've taught me that the greater the opportunity, the greater the risk."
"If I want to avoid being caught up by those people, or even to gain a significant advantage, I have no choice but to train there. I know that I can't get the best training in other places, and I won't be able to fully unleash my potential there."
Hu Liena said in a deep voice, her face full of solemnity. The training ground she was referring to was the Slaughter City.
Although she did not grow up in the Spirit Hall and her theoretical knowledge was not extensive enough, she still knew that a Martial Soul could generally only have one Talent Domain.
During the process of being tempered and suppressed by Bibi Dong's Divine Slaughter's Domain, she inquired about the origin of Bibi Dong's Divine Slaughter's Domain and thus learned about the place Slaughter City.
Since she chose not to return to the Spirit Hall, and her pride prevented her from being overtaken by the younger Soul Master who should have been lagging behind her, she had no choice but to take a desperate gamble Slaughter City Spirit Hall, a place her teacher described as purgatory.
If she can get through the Slaughter City, she will be able to obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
The boost that a domain provides to Soul Master is immense. A Soul Master of the same level with a domain completely dominates one without. Having a domain gives a huge advantage not only in one-on-one combat but also in fighting multiple opponents.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong stared intently at Hu Liena, her disciple, who was just as beautiful, outstanding, diligent, and determined as she had been in her youth, and also very filial. A gratified smile appeared on her lips.
Nana, the thing I'm most grateful for in my life is meeting you, taking you away from Spirit City, and accepting you as my personal disciple.
Bibi Dong said quietly, then smiled and said, "Okay, your teacher approves. However, your teacher will only allow you to go to the Slaughter City after your cultivation breaks through to the Soul King realm, and you will also need to possess a Head Soul Bone."
Hu Liena looked up, her face filled with confusion. "Head Soul Bone? Why Head Soul Bone?"
Bibi Dong explained, "The environment of the Slaughter City is filled with murderous intent and various Evil auras, especially Hell Road, where the murderous intent and Evil auras are dozens of times stronger Slaughter City. Soul Master cannot resist these Evil auras for long on their own. They must possess a very high-quality Head Soul Bone to allow Soul Master spiritual power to reach a certain level."
"But I don't have Head Soul Bone."
At this point, Hu Liena felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. On her way back, she had learned from Ning Rongrong that the Spirit Hall had given an extra eight Soul Bone as a reward for winning the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition. Among them, Ning Rongrong received a gem-type Head Soul Bone that was over 20,000 years old.
If she hadn't been taken away from the Spirit Hall by Bibi Dong, she would definitely have obtained a Soul Bone.
Bibi Dong said, "I'll help you figure out the Soul Bone issue. Just focus on your cultivation."
Hu Liena's current cultivation level is 46 Soul Ancestor. With Hu Liena's talent and the resources provided by the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it will take her about a year and a half to break through to the 50th level Quasi-Soul King.
Bibi Dong plans to go to Sunset Forest and various Soul Beast Forests after Yu Xiaogang returns, and slaughter Soul Beast to see if she can get Head Soul Bone.
On the way back to Heaven Dou City, Hu Liena failed to persuade Bibi Dong, so Tang San to persuade Bibi Dong. Tang San naturally agreed. Yu Xiaogang tried to matchmake his Xiao Wu and Yu Tianheng together, and then made outrageous remarks in the Pope Square, saying that Xiao Wu was immoral, that Xiao Wu was pure and innocent and belonged only to him, Tang San, and that her body could not possibly have been visited by hundreds of thousands of Soft Bone Rabbit. He already had murderous intent towards Yu Xiaogang and wished he could tear Yu Xiaogang to pieces.
However, due to the influence of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Bibi Dong behind Yu Xiaogang, as well as his master-disciple relationship with Yu Xiaogang, he hesitated.
During the Douluo I Swordplay, the rule in the Spirit Master World was that a Soul Master could only have one teacher in their lifetime, and the teacher's status was similar to that of the Soul Master's biological parents.
If the reputation of murdering his master were to spread, his name in the Douluo Continent would be utterly ruined, to the point of being utterly tainted. Even if he were to become a god, he might not be able to salvage his completely rotten reputation. Given the opportunity to use someone else to do his dirty work, he naturally wanted to make good use of it.
Tang San offered Bibi Dong a solution: see if Yu Xiaogang was willing to be with her. At this moment, Bibi Dong was practically a social death in the Douluo Continent, her reputation was ruined. Even disregarding the Spirit Hall's intimidation, being with Bibi Dong was no different from being with Liu Erlong.
Based on Tang San's understanding of Yu Xiaogang, he would absolutely not agree unless the Spirit Hall Destruction and Yu Xiaogang achieved great success as in his previous life, becoming the Imperial Tutor of the Heaven Dou Empire. At that time...
