Huo Wu and Dugu Yan's Cooperation, the Competition's Reward Spirit Bone

She knew.

With Li Qinglian's kind of talent, there was no way Spirit Hall would miss him.

The only difference was this.

Would Li Qinglian enter Pope Palace, or Consecration Hall?

At present, Spirit Hall had already split into two factions.

As Bibi Dong took control of Spirit Hall, some people had already thrown in their lot with her. The rest were determined to draw a clear line between themselves and Bibi Dong, lest they be purged after Qian Renxue rose to power.

When the time came, people from both sides would approach Li Qinglian.

She also knew that a few days ago, Qian Renxue had secretly returned to Spirit City. Clearly, Qian Renxue had come for Li Qinglian.

In the audience stands.

Huo Wu watched Li Qinglian and Shui Bing'er kiss, lightly biting her teeth together.

Her eyes stung a little, and jealousy churned in her heart.

But she knew that, in truth, Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian were a better match.

In every way, they fit well together.

Even their martial souls had put on a beautiful scene of the phoenix seeking its mate.

If she had not met Li Qinglian early, she would never have had any chance at all.

"Huo Wu. You must feel awful right now."

"Dugu Yan, are you looking to die?"

Huo Wu turned her head and saw Dugu Yan, her hair pinned up, her face full of alluring charm.

Her expression instantly darkened.

"Hey, hey, hey. What kind of attitude is that? Back then, I helped you. I saved Li Qinglian's life. I'm not asking you to repay me, but at least be a little nicer to me."

Dugu Yan did not mind at all and casually walked to Huo Wu's side.

"Hmph."

"You don't have good intentions."

Huo Wu's expression eased.

It was not that she hated Dugu Yan all that much. She simply knew this woman had feelings for Li Qinglian. And this person would stop at nothing.

The reason she had not chosen to seize him by force was because she could not.

Given the slightest chance, this woman was capable of anything.

Never doubt how twisted the heart of a woman who had suffered the torment of deadly poison since birth could be. Even if that woman still looked bright and beautiful on the outside.

"Shui Bing'er is too overbearing. Let's work together. I'm telling you, they have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and the more often they use that Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the deeper their feelings will become. You won't be able to hold on to him by yourself."

Dugu Yan folded her arms in front of her chest, making her already well-developed breasts look even fuller.

"You?"

"That's right. We'll muddy the waters together. And I can teach you a few tricks too, enough to make Li Qinglian unable to get enough of you."

Dugu Yan said it with a giggle.

Huo Wu looked very bold, but in the end, she was still a young girl.

If she were Huo Wu, she would long since have become a real couple with Li Qinglian.

Li Qinglian's Evil Fire often surged up, after all. If she took the initiative to offer herself, what could she possibly fail to get?

"What?"

Huo Wu had meant to refuse, but she still could not help asking.

She really was getting somewhat anxious.

She had already undergone the second awakening of her Body Martial Soul now, and the gap between her talent and Shui Bing'er's was not large. In terms of looks, she believed she was no worse than Shui Bing'er either.

But Shui Bing'er and Li Qinglian had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

If she could not make up for it somewhere else, she would forever fall one step behind Shui Bing'er.

She did not want that.

"Tattoo this on your lower abdomen, or on the spot where your lower back meets your hips. Men all like it. I can tell you'd be too embarrassed to find someone else to do it, so I can help."

Dugu Yan took out two colored pictures and handed them to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu's face burned as she looked at them.

"You know this is exactly the sort of thing I play with. I can guarantee it won't leave any trace, and it can be removed at any time. If you need another design later, I can help with that too."

"Men, you know. They like novelty."

Dugu Yan said with a curl of her lips.

Li Qinglian's heart was not set on lust.

But just because he did not actively chase after such things did not mean he did not like them.

He was a man too! He could feel desire too.

When the time came... wouldn't he be utterly captivated?

"Congratulations. You have won the championship."

"In the past few centuries, this is the first time a team has defeated Spirit Hall Academy."

"I am very gratified by this. Because it proves that the soul master world across the entire continent has developed very well, allowing so many top geniuses to emerge."

Bibi Dong walked elegantly up to Li Qinglian and the others.

An elegant smile hung on her face.

I have to say, if this woman hadn't inherited the Rakshasa God, she really would be quite perfect.

Looking at the elegant, beautiful middle-aged woman before him, Li Qinglian could not help but sigh with emotion.

When Bibi Dong was young, she had been just as innocent and radiant as Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and the others.

It was just that many things had happened afterward, twisting this woman's mind.

Besides.

When women became ruthless, they could be far more ruthless than men.

"Li Qinglian. Do you know me?"

Seeing Li Qinglian look at her like this, Bibi Dong smiled with poise.

She was very pleased.

If Li Qinglian had a very good impression of her, it would be much simpler for her to win him over.

"Your Holiness the Supreme Pontiff's name is known to everyone under heaven."

"How could I not know you? It is just that this is the first time I have seen Your Holiness's face from so close."

Li Qinglian said with a smile.

He was only feeling a little emotional.

Bibi Dong like this would be an entirely different person in less than ten years.

Bibi Dong was taken aback.

But thinking about it, that made sense too.

She was the Supreme Pontiff. How many people under heaven could see her and not worship her?

As long as she still occupied the position of Supreme Pontiff, there would always be a halo around her.

"According to the rules."

"The champion of this year's Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament can obtain one soul bone. You may decide among yourselves how to distribute this soul bone..."

Bibi Dong said.

In truth, this soul bone had been prepared by Spirit Hall for Ao Tian, this Soul King.

In the original plot, five years later, Spirit Hall Academy's reward for the champion was even three soul bones. In truth, those were also soul bones prepared for Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan.

This year, there was only one Soul King, Ao Tian, so the championship reward for the tournament was only one soul bone.

The reason Spirit Hall would take out a soul bone as the tournament reward was also because, from the very beginning, they had never believed the soul bone could be taken away.

"Qinglian. You choose this soul bone."

"We agreed before. If we won the championship, this soul bone had to be yours. And you can deal with this soul bone however you wish." Shui Xian'er said to Li Qinglian.

"Mm."

Li Qinglian nodded.

He did not decline.

Soul bones were extremely precious treasures, and there were not many of them across the entire continent.

However, Li Qinglian himself would not absorb any of the soul bones in Spirit Hall's treasury.

He planned to give this soul bone to Huo Wu.

Back then, he and Huo Wu had worked together to hunt down the Blazing Golden Roc. That external soul bone—Huo Wu had directly handed it to him, and he had not refused. Thinking about it now, he did indeed owe Huo Wu a soul bone.

In the original plot, the Explosive Burning Flame Right Arm that Ma Hongjun absorbed was pretty good. It should suit Sister Huo Wu. Thinking of Huo Wu, the corners of Li Qinglian's mouth could not help but lift into a smile.

In truth.

He had never planned to expose himself this early by participating in a competition of this level.

If not for this soul bone, he probably would not have agreed to help the Tianshui Team.
