Your "Annual Soul Bone Supplier" Is Online

Green light intertwined, energy surging like a tide.

The seventy-thousand-year Azure-Scaled Giant Python Torso Bone floated and sank frantically before She Long's chest.

Soon, it transformed into wisps of extremely pure cyan marrow essence, scrambling to submerge into his body.

She Long sat cross-legged, his internal energy and blood surging, even his beard trembling slightly.

About half an incense stick of time passed.

A pressure far exceeding the previous one erupted without warning, whipping up the ice shards and gale across the ground.

She Long snapped his eyes open, two beams of violet-cyan light shooting straight into the clouds.

"Hahaha! This old man has broken through again!"

He leaped up and let out a long roar toward the sky, his laughter filled with irrepressible ecstasy and fanaticism.

From level ninety-three to level ninety-four, it seemed like a mere single level, yet it was a chasm that countless Title Douluo spent decades unable to cross.

A top-tier seventy-thousand-year Torso Bone, combined with the perfect compatibility of his snake-type Martial Soul and the lingering effects of the immortal herbs, had forcibly saved She Long at least ten years of bitter cultivation!

"Nin... ninety-four?!"

Ci Xue's eyes turned red with jealousy, his teeth grinding so hard they clicked, and he nearly bruised his own thigh from slamming it.

Beside him, Dugu Bo was filled with shock and envy.

Today, he had actually broken through two levels in a row and gained an additional Soul Bone Skill.

This She Long's luck was simply heaven-defying!

"Congratulations to Elder She Long for breaking through the bottleneck," Qian Renxue offered her congratulations proactively.

With another level-94 Title Douluo combat force in her hand, her confidence grew a little more.

"You flatter me, Young Mistress!" She Long quickly cupped his hands and bowed slightly to Qian Renxue. "This is all thanks to Xian'er!"

He immediately pulled the boy who had been watching the spectacle over, ruffled his hair, and laughed heartily.

"If it weren't for this precious grand-grandson of mine, I don't know how many years it would have taken me to break through level ninety-three!"

Seeing this, Elder Ci Xue could no longer hold back.

He squeezed over like a cannonball.

His old face was piled with an extremely sycophantic smile, and he even diligently began to massage She Xian's shoulders.

"Well... Xian'er, my good god-grandson!"

"Look, your grandfather is now level ninety-four, looking quite glorious."

"Your god-grandfather and your grandfather have worked together for a long time, yet I'm still only level ninety-three."

"Let's make a deal. Can you arrange a 'guaranteed soul bone' for your god-grandfather next year?"

"Whatever good food or fun things you want, your god-grandfather will scour the entire continent to find them for you!"

Upon hearing this, She Long's old face turned as black as the bottom of a pot instantly.

He kicked Ci Xue in the backside, eyes wide as he cursed, "Ci Xue, you old shameless thing, do you have any face left?"

"At your age, running over to beg a child for treasures—if word gets out, you'll have shamed the face of the Spirit Hall elders completely!"

Ci Xue didn't get angry after taking the kick.

He rubbed his backside and chuckled, his skin thicker than the walls of Heaven Dou City.

"Old Snake, don't stand there talking without feeling the pain."

"If you're not convinced, spit out that Torso Bone from just now!"

"I'm doing this to add bricks and tiles to the Young Mistress's great cause. Xian'er, don't you think that makes sense?"

Watching the two old bones, who were nearly two hundred years old combined, bickering in front of him, She Xian rubbed his temples helplessly.

At this moment, it was up to Qian Renxue to resolve the situation for She Xian.

"Alright, both elders, stop making a scene."

Qian Renxue turned her head to look at She Xian. "Xian'er's talent can only be used once a year."

"What soul beast is hunted and what soul bone drops are all unknowns."

"This matter cannot be forced; everything will be left to Xian'er's own wishes and arrangements."

Every word was filled with indulgence toward She Xian.

She Xian blinked, followed Qian Renxue's lead, patted his chest, and grinned. "Don't worry, both grandfathers!"

"Since everyone has seen the results, let's set the rules today."

"From now on, this day every year shall be the [Annual Soul Bone Hunting Day] for our Spirit Hall Heaven Dou Squad!"

"We will specifically target top-tier soul beasts over fifty thousand years old!"

"As for the soul bones that drop, whoever is the most compatible gets them."

"What do you all think of this rule?"

"Good! Excellent!"

Ci Xue clapped his hands, his eyes shining like two large lightbulbs.

"Fair! Open! Transparent!"

"This god-grandfather raises both hands in favor!"

She Long was also full of pride, stroking his chin and grinning from ear to ear. "As expected of the seed of my She Clan, doing things is always steady!"

Standing at the very back, Dugu Bo's throat moved violently.

A guaranteed soul bone over fifty thousand years old!

If he could get his hands on one, he would wake up laughing in his dreams!

Unfortunately...

Dugu Bo smiled bitterly to himself and very soberly took a step back.

She Long was the young master's biological grandfather, Ci Xue was his god-grandfather, and Qian Renxue was his personal teacher.

He was merely a subordinate who had just been forcibly subdued and was working to atone for his crimes; what right did he have to compete for resources with these core high-level figures?

However, as long as he followed the young master and the little young master wholeheartedly, would he really be short of benefits in the future?

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's loyalty rose another notch.

"Dugu Bo."

Qian Renxue turned around, her voice instantly switching back to the majesty and coldness of a superior. "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is designated as a Spirit Hall restricted area starting today."

"I leave you to guard this treasure land. If there is the slightest mistake, or if even a whisper of news leaks out..."

Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, her killing intent fully exposed.

Dugu Bo was startled, dropping to one knee with a thud, his forehead pressed firmly against the ice. "This subordinate swears to guard the restricted area with his life! If I fail even slightly, I am willing to offer my head!"

"Very good."

Qian Renxue waved her sleeve, wasting no more words. "Elder She Long, Elder Ci Xue, we are returning to Heaven Dou City!"

Heaven Dou City.

The sunset's afterglow spilled over the magnificent city walls, draping this ancient and prosperous giant city in a golden veil.

Returning to Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue did not rush to take She Xian back to the Crown Prince's Residence.

Instead, they walked side by side on the bustling streets.

She Xian had originally thought Qian Renxue would take him straight for a big meal.

But as they walked, he noticed the surrounding buildings becoming taller and the noise becoming increasingly deafening.

A massive, rough, circular building, like a giant beast crouching in the center of the city, stood right before his eyes!

The Great Soul Arena of Heaven Dou!

Looking at the huge, blood-red logo above the building, She Xian was stunned.

He scratched his head in confusion. "Teacher, we aren't going back to the residence for dinner; why are we running to this murderous place?"

Qian Renxue turned her face slightly, a hint of playfulness and severity flashing in her golden eyes.

"Xian'er, do you think that because you've broken through to level twenty-four and possess immortal herb soul rings and a god-level talent, you can sit back and relax?"

Qian Renxue stopped and looked down at the boy.

"Building a carriage behind closed doors will only lead to empty talk."

"True powerhouses are never coddled in a greenhouse; they are forged in the slaughter at the edge of life and death!"

She pointed to the Great Soul Arena, which radiated an aura of blood and fanaticism, and said decisively, "Starting today, I will register a code name for you."

"Aside from your meditation and cultivation at the Crown Prince's Residence, you must conduct at least one soul battle here every day."

"The prerequisite is that you are not allowed to expose your Twin Martial Souls."

"This is your most important training for the next few years."

Hearing Qian Renxue's requirements, She Xian was not the least bit reluctant; instead, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth curled up wildly!

Heaven knows that living in the strictly regulated Crown Prince's Residence, facing a pile of etiquette officers and hidden sentries all day, he was so bored his bones felt like they were rusting.

Closing himself off for meditation every day—how could that compare to the thrill of beating up various "geniuses"?

"Fighting every day?"

She Xian rubbed his hands together, his eyes flashing with excitement and a devious light.

"Teacher, you said it yourself!"

"You have to cover for those two thousand-year soul rings of mine."

Seeing that the boy was not afraid but rather eager to try, Qian Renxue was quite appreciative.

"Cover for you?"

She elegantly flicked her robe, her lips parted slightly, and she uttered a line of extreme dominance:

"Within this Heaven Dou City, as long as you don't tear a hole in the sky, no matter what happens, I will have your back!"
