A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! Spirit Transferring Was Great-They Had to Do It!

Only then.

Did Huo Yuhao withdraw his spiritual power.

He reminded her softly, "All right, the spirit transferring contract is complete. From now on, this soul beast will be your companion soul spirit."

Gu Qingbo slowly opened her eyes, staring in disbelief at the black soul ring circling her.

A ten-thousand-year fourth ring!

It was like something out of a dream.

"How do you feel?" Huo Yuhao asked with a refined smile.

"Thank you... Huo... Your Eminence."

Gu Qingbo's eyes grew moist. If so many people had not been watching, she would have given Huo Yuhao an enormous bear hug in her excitement. "I've never felt better."

As she spoke.

Gu Qingbo activated her soul power.

Under countless stunned gazes, two azure-green fish wings unfurled from her back. Clear, watery light flowed over their transparent membranes. With a slight quiver, the wings lifted Gu Qingbo straight into the air.

Holy shit!

That was... a soul bone!

And it had to be either a torso bone or an external soul bone!

Every soul master who witnessed it felt their scalp prickle with shock. Even Titled Douluo such as Chen Xin and Dugu Bo rose to their feet, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

Who among them did not know how precious soul bones were? Not only did ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beasts have merely a one-in-a-thousand chance of yielding one, but every soul bone also possessed its own unique soul skill. Even a Titled Douluo might spend more than half a lifetime without ever laying hands on one.

A single spirit transferring had not only given a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor a ten-thousand-year fourth ring, but had even yielded a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! Shock alone could no longer describe what they felt.

Had the core theories of the soul master world just been so effortlessly shattered before everyone's eyes?

Spirit transferring was great. They had to do it.

Almost instantly, everyone's eyes turned once more toward Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Even Ning Fengzhi, who had always sung his praises, could not help sighing.

By now, Yu Xiaogang stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded. The shock within him was no less than that of the other soul masters.

How was this possible...?

The theories I spent my entire life researching... were meaningless in the end...

Yu Xiaogang could not help looking up at Bibi Dong on the raised platform. Yet her pupils were trembling too, her eyes fixed in disbelief on Gu Qingbo's ten-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone.

Huo Yuhao hadn't lied...

The Spirit Transferring Plan really could completely reshape the continent's future and balance of power, even leading Spirit Hall to the greatest heights in its history.

Bibi Dong had imagined countless ways to build momentum for the Spirit Transferring Hall, but never this most convincing of demonstrations. Before, she had only heard Huo Yuhao describe it. Only after witnessing it herself did she understand how formidable spirit transferring was.

More importantly, the Beast God stood beside them in support.

Now their position was utterly secure!

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has concluded." Excited though she was, Bibi Dong had not lost her reason. Still, she could hardly conceal her delight in Huo Yuhao. "Everyone present has witnessed Spirit Hall's Spirit Transferring Plan firsthand. In the future, the Spirit Transferring Hall will be open only to Spirit Hall's own soul masters. You may now leave Spirit City."

Having said this, Bibi Dong cast a long look toward Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, whose expression was somewhat wooden as he stood with the Shrek Academy Team.

Her gaze was filled with conflicting emotions.

Spirit Hall Academy had clearly won, and the Spirit Transferring Plan had worked perfectly, yet Bibi Dong did not seem particularly happy.

As her words fell.

The crowd erupted.

The Spirit Transferring Hall would be open only to Spirit Hall's own soul masters. Did that mean anyone who wanted spirit transferring would first have to join Spirit Hall?

Then again.

Joining Spirit Hall was a better bargain than risking their lives in the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain soul rings. For independent soul masters without any power backing them, the Spirit Transferring Plan was undoubtedly a blessing.

Of course, while some rejoiced, others worried.

Compared with those independent soul masters, established powers such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the various academies saw it as a seed of disaster that would shake their very foundations.

At this crucial moment, Gu Yuena actually added, "The Spirit Transferring Plan is also a bridge toward improving relations between soul beasts and soul masters. This is only the beginning. In the future, we will have to refine it and establish a series of rules."

"Of course, soul masters will still hunt soul beasts, and soul beasts will still devour soul masters. After all, the strong preying on the weak is a law of survival in nature."

"But..."

At this point, Gu Yuena changed her tone. "No human soul master may hunt soul beasts over fifty thousand years old, except through spirit transferring. Otherwise, whoever you are, you will become the common enemy of the entire Soul Beast Realm!"

As those words fell.

Another tightening band had been clamped around everyone's head.

Gu Yuena would not interfere when soul masters hunted low-level soul beasts. After all, that was nature's law of survival. But she could not ignore powerful soul beasts over fifty thousand years old. This directly restricted the right of certain powers to hunt such soul beasts.

The crowd began murmuring once again.

"Enough."

Bibi Dong had no desire to hear the opinions below. With a sweep of her hand, she ordered, "Platinum Bishop, arrange for all the powers to leave Spirit City in turn."

With that.

Bibi Dong looked up at Gu Yuena in the air and asked courteously, "Honored Beast God, would you accompany me into the hall for a discussion? Elder Yuhao, come along as well."

"Hmm?"

Gu Yuena glanced casually at Bibi Dong. She had originally intended to refuse, since she had come for Huo Yuhao in the first place. But upon hearing that he had been invited too, she gave an indifferent shrug.

The three exchanged glances, then vanished from the spot.

Everything gradually quieted down. With the help of Spirit Hall Academy's healing soul masters, Wang Qiu'er, who had fainted after exhausting her soul power, slowly regained consciousness.

The moment Wang Qiu'er opened her eyes, she began searching for Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao! Is Yuhao all right?"

The members of the Spirit Hall Academy Team exchanged looks.

Qiu'er's worry was completely unnecessary.

What could possibly have happened to him?

The two of them had just hammered Tang Hao, wielder of the world's number-one power-attack martial soul, into the ground!

"Sister Qiu'er, Teacher Huo is fine."

Zhang Ping explained with a smile, "Teacher Huo went to the Pope's Hall with the Pope and the Beast God. He asked me to look after you for a little while, Sister Qiu'er."

The other Spirit Hall Academy members nodded along.

After witnessing Wang Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao defeat Tang Hao through martial soul fusion, even Yan, who had always refused to acknowledge Wang Qiu'er, was convinced.

Even Hu Liena had fallen utterly silent.

"That idiot! He actually dared leave me behind?"

Wang Qiu'er got up in a huff and looked toward the Pope's Hall, unable to hold back a snort. "Just wait until I get my hands on you!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she happened to notice Shrek Academy preparing to leave.

Huh?

Where were Tang San and Xiao Wu?

Wang Qiu'er had been unconscious earlier and had not seen Tang Hao flee with Tang San and Xiao Wu. She called out, "You lot! Wait a moment!"

Her shout gave the Shrek Five Monsters a fright.

And not just them.

Liu Erlong, Flender, Grandmaster, and Dugu Bo all nervously moved in front of the remaining five monsters, shielding them behind their backs.

"What do you want?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Wang Qiu'er with a particularly sour expression. "The Soul Master Elite Tournament is over. The Pope gave us permission to leave Spirit City."

Faced with this agitated reaction from so many powerful figures, Wang Qiu'er was a little stunned. Looking equally bewildered, she asked, "Wait, what? Why are you all so nervous?"
