Two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bones Given Away Like Trash?

As Huo Yuhao listened, a wave of bitterness rose in his heart.

Why should innate talent determine everything!

What was there that hard work could not overcome?

No!

Huo Yuhao refused to believe it. He believed that man could conquer fate, and that he would absolutely surpass Gu Chen in the future.

Skydream Iceworm sighed and stopped talking to Huo Yuhao. Turning to Electrolux, he said, "Old fellow, didn't you tell me your story before? You were born a Child of Light. You should understand better than anyone that some things cannot be made up for through hard work. Everyone is the protagonist of their own story. Can't you give our Yuhao some guidance? He's just like Pero from your era. If you don't help him, we'll all be finished sooner or later."

Electrolux slowly opened his eyes. "Only through hardship can one grow. No matter how much is said, Yuhao will only understand after experiencing it himself."

Skydream Iceworm was speechless.

The old fellow sure could talk, yet he had not said anything useful.

In this worm's opinion, the old fellow was asking for death.

Not wanting to listen to the two seniors argue, Huo Yuhao silently withdrew from the Spirit Sea.

At that moment, Du Weilun had already begun assigning classes. The first years were divided into four classes, each specializing in a different field. Huo Yuhao's Team, Dai Huabin's Team, and Gu Chen's Team were all assigned to the same class.

The others were assigned to different classes according to their specialties. Wang Yan and Mu Jin became Class One's homeroom teachers, jointly taking responsibility for it.

At the same time, Mu Jin also became an intern teacher in the Inner Court.

With the reward ceremony over, the students from each class departed. Huo Yuhao also emerged from the Spirit Sea and accepted his status as a temporary core disciple. Aside from his low spirits, he was unaffected.

"Gu Chen's Team, stay behind."

Du Weilun waved, signaling for Gu Chen and the others to remain.

Gu Chen's group then followed Du Weilun to the teachers' office behind the upper-year teaching building.

It was Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue's first time being invited here. They looked around curiously, inspecting everything.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, looked as though he had returned home. He sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea.

Du Weilun took out a jade box from his storage soul tool and opened it directly.

In an instant, two Soul Bones radiating powerful auras came into view, dazzling Xie Huanyue and Ning Tian.

Soul Bones!

They were actually Soul Bones!

And two ten-thousand-year Soul Bones at that, priceless treasures.

Gu Chen felt no stir in his heart and held Soul Bones in disdain.

Du Weilun smiled and explained, "In view of your outstanding performance this time, the Elders and the Pavilion Master have discussed it and decided to make an exception by awarding you two ten-thousand-year Soul Bones. This is the most generous reward the academy has offered in nearly a thousand years. Even the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament only offers three ten-thousand-year Soul Bones in total."

"The academy hopes that you will take these Soul Bones and continue to shine, create brilliant achievements, and not disappoint the Pavilion Master and the Elders' expectations."

"These two Soul Bones are a water-attributed Forest King's Torso Bone with an age of twenty thousand years, and an Azure Luan Bird Left Arm Bone tainted with the bloodline of an ancient divine beast. Both can grant excellent soul skills."

"One more matter: after deliberation, the academy has decided to have you join the Shrek Inspection Corps. What do you think?"

The two Soul Bones were then placed in Gu Chen's hands.

Shrek Academy truly had bled heavily this time.

The Elders had rarely been so generous.

But clearly, these two Soul Bones were both suited to Gu Chen. Ning Tian and Xie Huanyue had merely been called in to go through the motions.

Although Xie Huanyue was also water-attributed, he was not the best choice for this Soul Bone.

Ning Tian had even less need for a Soul Bone. Her sect was wealthy, after all. Forget ten-thousand-year Soul Bones—even hundred-thousand-year ones were stockpiled by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Support-system soul masters usually only needed someone to rely on; they did not necessarily need Soul Bones.

Yet Gu Chen showed no excitement at all. He casually replied, "The academy is fairly generous. I'll be leaving now. I accept the Inspection Corps matter too. Don't disturb me if there's nothing important. If there is, just tell me, and I'll decide whether to take the mission."

Du Weilun's expression instantly froze.

What?

Shouldn't this kid be thrilled to receive two ten-thousand-year Soul Bones? Even Titled Douluo coveted these things. Why did they seem like junk once they reached Gu Chen's hands?

Du Weilun had seen that little fatty Xie Huanyue's eyes light up. He was practically dying to get his hands on one of those Soul Bones.

This kid Gu Chen...

Du Weilun sighed. After seeing Gu Chen's group out of the teaching building and reminding them to fuse the Soul Bones as soon as possible, he did not say another word.

Below the teaching building, Gu Chen's group stopped.

Xie Huanyue moved up to Gu Chen, his eyes gleaming as he exclaimed, "Good heavens, they're actually ten-thousand-year Soul Bones! My family has only inherited one after hundreds of years, and my father treasures it like a sacred relic. I never thought Big Brother would get two without lifting a finger. That's incredible."

Ning Tian agreed gently, "When hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones are rare across the continent, ten-thousand-year Soul Bones are already treasures among treasures. Even our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does not have many in reserve. For the academy to take out so much at once, they must have high hopes for Gu Chen."

She was emphasizing that Xie Huanyue should not set his sights on the Soul Bones.

Anyone who was not an idiot could see that these two Soul Bones were meant for Gu Chen, not them. Calling them over had merely been a formality.

Xie Huanyue silently sighed. He also knew that he had no chance with these two Soul Bones.

Just then, Gu Chen grabbed the water-attributed Soul Bone and tossed it to Xie Huanyue. He said flatly, "I have no use for this water-attributed Soul Bone. I'll give it to you."

"For me?"

Xie Huanyue clearly froze for a second. A Soul Bone brimming with power had suddenly appeared in his hands, and he could hardly believe it.

Big Brother was far too generous!

This was a Soul Bone—a ten-thousand-year Soul Bone!

Big Brother just said he did not want it and gave it away. He was unbelievably generous!

Gu Chen waved a hand and said unconcernedly, "My abilities do not need Soul Bones. Or rather, I have no use for them. Take it and use it. Since you're my little brother, I won't treat you poorly."

"Oh, remember to find me some Whale Glue and good pills. I need those things."

Xie Huanyue's body trembled with excitement.

He really had not followed the wrong person!

Big Brother was truly generous!

Father, your son hasn't disgraced you. I've followed a future god!

Immediately afterward, Xie Huanyue accepted the Soul Bone and clasped his hands. "Thank you, Big Brother. From now on, if there is ever anything you need from me, I'll brave fire and water without hesitation. Tonight, I'll go ask my father to buy Whale Glue. I'll have him purchase all of Shrek Academy's finest things for you to consume."

Gu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Soul Bones were certainly good, but the quality of the ones Shrek Academy had given was too low and unsuitable for fusion.

Across the entire continent, not just any soul beast or Soul Bone was qualified to fuse with the Little Dragon God. Not even water-attributed divine beasts qualified.

Back then, even the parasites on the old Dragon God's body had been First-Level Gods. Even though he had now fallen on hard times, no soul beast was qualified to become his Soul Bone. It was the nobility and strength in his bloodline that gave rise to such thoughts.

Gu Chen then looked at Ning Tian and said, "The other Soul Bone isn't suitable for you. If there's a chance in the future, I'll get you a decent one."

Ning Tian said gently, "I don't lack Soul Bones, but if it's a promise from you, I'll be waiting for it."

As she spoke, she gave Gu Chen a flirtatious wink.

Gu Chen coughed lightly. "We'll talk if there's a chance."

Ning Tian nodded rapidly like a pecking chick and asked curiously, "Then who do you plan to give the other Azure Luan Bird Soul Bone to?"
