Initially, because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was added by Wu Ling, and given the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's special nature, it only had the Evil God Bead and no Soul Bone. Therefore, when Wu Ling saw this Soul Bone, he thought that the real Angra Mainyu had returned.
According to Angra Mainyu's explanation, this Soul Bone was refined and condensed from the power that the real Angra Mainyu had strengthened when he modified his Spirit Ring, which is why the real Angra Mainyu did not come this time.
As for why Angra Mainyu didn't want the power of the real Angra Mainyu, he said at the time, "Sigh, I'm the weakest Servant. Since the Master is so strong, why not just let the Master do it? So after I lend the Master a hand, please don't summon me. The Servant next to me are all super strong too, okay?"
After hearing Angra Mainyu's excuse, Wu Ling, to express his gratitude, immediately promised that in the future, if there were any missions that required sacrificing lives, he would send his Sixth Clone instead of his own.
After absorbing it, Wu Ling also learned that the Left Arm Bone's ability was to devour and strengthen. Wu Ling could use its left hand to touch people or objects to devour their energy and then strengthen itself. It was a very simple and easy-to-understand yet practical ability.
In addition to the Left Arm Bone, Wu Ling's Left Leg Bone from the Blazing Sun Unicorn possesses two abilities: flight and regeneration.
With it, Wu Ling can fly or attack by breathing fire from its feet. Under the sun, this Soul Bone can continuously absorb the sun's energy and convert it into Soul Power to replenish Wu Ling's body. If it flies under the sun, it can form a self-sufficient energy cycle. It is truly an essential tool for travel and a great helper for escaping the scene after killing someone. Even Conan would be dumbfounded.
On the third day, when Hu Liena and the others arrived at Wu Ling's house again, they were greeted by Xiao Lan and Xiao Hong once more, while Wu Ling was nowhere to be found.
The Balak Kingdom, located to the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, borders the Fasinuo Province and parts of the Star Luo Empire. It is one of the four major kingdoms within the Heaven Dou Empire and a key force in the Heaven Dou Empire's struggle against the Star Luo Empire.
Within the Balak Kingdom, there are two most important cities: the capital Barak City and Suotuo City, which houses the Barak granary. Therefore, Suotuo City contains a Spirit Main Hall.
Just as the sun rose, a handsome man wearing sunglasses drove a Spirit Motor Vehicle to the Spirit Main Hall of Suotuo City. The bishop and his deacons of the Spirit Main Hall of Suotuo City were already waiting there and rushed forward to greet him.
"Greetings, Your His Highness the Holy Son." Inside the office of the Suotuo City Spirit Main Hall, including the Suotuo City Bishop, many high-ranking administrators of the Suotuo City Spirit Main Hall came to meet Wu Ling, the Holy Son from Spirit City.
That's right. After packing up his things in Spirit City, Wu Ling used his Soul Bone to fly all the way to the Suotuo City, and then drove here.
"Gentlemen, please excuse the formalities. I've come here today for some personal matters." Wu Ling sat upright in the main seat, glanced around, and then changed the subject, saying in a deep voice, "But I've heard that someone is privately running Soul Master Academy Suotuo City, and they even have someone recommended by my Spirit Hall!"
As Wu Ling spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the bishop of the Spirit Main Hall in Suotuo City. At this moment, the Cardinal, who held a high position in the Spirit Hall, was sweating profusely, and even a blind man could see that something was wrong with him.
The Soul Master Academy Suotuo City is naturally the Shrek Academy, which is supposedly only for monsters. Normally, there wouldn't be anything wrong with such a private academy. However, the fact that Wu Ling said that some staff members of the Spirit Hall recommended some outstanding graduates from junior Soul Master Academy to go to the Shrek Academy is very problematic, even a major problem.
First of all, Shrek Academy is a complete quack school with absolutely no educational qualifications, and its graduates do not receive formal academy diplomas. It's a total rip-off.
However, the people who managed that academy were indeed some experts. Flender and Zhao Wuji were Soul Saint, and the rest were Soul Emperor. These powerful individuals were naturally able to attract the attention of some forces, such as the royal family of the Balak Kingdom.
The Balak Royal House has been trying to win over Flender and others. They have not only signed contracts with the Shrek Academy in private, such as allowing graduates to take positions in the Spirit Hall, but also having Spirit Hall personnel recommend outstanding graduates from Barak to Shrek Academy. All of these things have the influence of the royal family.
Otherwise, with the Shrek Academy's small size and lack of reputation, how could it possibly attract so many outstanding graduates from over twenty years old to enroll?
The Cardinal of the Suotuo City Spirit Main Hall hurriedly explained, " Your His Highness the Holy Son, this matter is actually related to His Holiness the Balak Kingdom. Didn't the Pope previously order the courting of the Balak Kingdom? Therefore, regarding some of the demands he made, I..."
"That's not all." Wu Ling flicked his wrist, tossing a document in front of the Cardinal's face.
"Over the years, the royal family must have given you quite a few benefits. You should know that some mistakes cannot be made. Those outstanding graduates from the junior academies are all targets for the Spirit Hall to win over, but you, the bishop, are helping the Balak Royal House to do so. You know, the thing I hate most is someone who betrays their own side!"
" Holy Son, what are you trying to do? You can't!" The Cardinal sensed Wu Ling's thoughts and instantly released his own Martial Soul as he spoke. Unfortunately, he underestimated Wu Ling's strength. Just as his six Spirit Ring appeared, a fist appeared in front of him, and then his head instantly shattered into pieces like a watermelon.
"What I hate most is traitors, but regarding these matters, I believe you were merely following the bishop's orders, so I will not pursue the others this time," Wu Ling said, sitting upright in the main seat. The remaining high-ranking members of the Spirit Main Hall knelt down below. They had not expected Wu Ling to do such a thing, directly killing a Cardinal.
Looking at the Spirit Hall personnel kneeling in a circle before him, Wu Ling continued, "Send a message to all Spirit Hall Branch within the Balak Kingdom, instructing them to take the Cardinal of the Spirit Main Hall in Suotuo City as a warning. Any further actions that harm the interests of the Spirit Hall will be severely punished!"
Today's events have naturally caused a huge stir within the Balak Kingdom, and have also created some discord between the Balak Royal House and the Spirit Hall.
Previously, in an effort to weaken the influence of the royal families of the two great empires, the Spirit Hall had repeatedly supported the nobles of these kingdoms and duchies. However, this behavior was nothing more than nurturing a tiger that would eventually become a threat, creating even more trouble.
If things had unfolded as originally planned, these kingdoms and duchies would ultimately have been of no help whatsoever, and most of them would have become unwieldy and troublesome.
Since Wu Ling has already planned and launched his own scheme, he will naturally not tolerate the trouble caused by these nobles. He is currently unable to suppress the two great empires, but dealing with these kingdoms and duchies will be too easy for him.
As for whether these actions would lead these nobles to align themselves with the royal families of the two great empires and strengthen their power, Wu Ling was not worried at all.
With access to a vast amount of Soul Tool data, he could easily elevate the Spirit Hall's overall soul tool research level to a new level.
In a few years at most, the Spirit Hall's Soul Tool technology will reach the average level of the Sun Moon Empire ten thousand years from now. At that time, ordinary armies and nobles will be meaningless.
