True Dragon Nine Crowns, Yu Yuanzhen's Unwillingness

"A Ten Thousand Year Void Beast right arm bone?"

Hearing that Yu Yuanzhen had finally brought out what he wanted,

Qian Xunji, who had been reclining sideways on the magnificent golden throne, stirred his sword-like brows. At last, he lowered his crossed leg and sat up properly on the throne.

"Sect Master Yu, you've finally shown a bit of sincerity."

Sitting upright on the throne, Qian Xunji finally seemed somewhat serious. He smiled faintly and spoke unhurriedly.

But Yu Yuanzhen felt nothing but rage and humiliation.

I've already brought out a precious Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! This is a Blood River Treasure!

And it's even a rare space-attribute Soul Bone!

Even after all that,

you actually say I've finally shown a bit of sincerity.

So you're still not satisfied!

What a greedy Spirit Hall!

Yu Yuanzhen nearly wanted to curse aloud, his heart aching terribly.

One had to know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had a more glorious history than even the Clear Sky Sect.

It was one of the old Three Upper Sects.

In the past, it had even held the position of foremost among the Three Upper Sects for a long time!

Yet after being passed down to the present day, the sect possessed only three Inheritance Spirit Bones.

Of them, the most important "piece" of Inheritance Spirit Bone was rather unusual and could not truly be fused.

As for the other two Soul Bones, one was a spiritual-type skull, while the other was a defensive Thunder-type left arm bone.

He had already fused both of them.

This space-attribute right arm bone had been acquired by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan through a fortunate coincidence.

Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were originally incomparably precious.

Even a Titled Douluo would fuse one immediately upon obtaining it.

Especially since this Soul Bone was a precious space-attribute Soul Bone.

But unfortunately, this Soul Bone's soul skill was quite unusual: Space Teleportation.

Space Teleportation was different from teleportation.

Teleportation soul skills,

though limited in distance, consumed little soul power and activated quickly.

They were more suitable for combat.

But Space Teleportation soul skills,

while capable of covering greater distances, required a massive amount of soul power.

Moreover, their activation time—or rather, their wind-up—was very long.

They were more functional in nature.

But they were not suited for combat.

Especially since this Soul Bone was a right arm bone, an extremely important body part.

Thus, Yu Yuanzhen had always hesitated over whether to fuse it.

He had never expected it to benefit Spirit Hall now!

"Your Holiness the Pope, a Ten Thousand Year space-attribute soul skill should be enough to prove our sincerity, shouldn't it?"

"I hope Your Holiness the Pope can forgive my son Xiao Gang and cease pursuing this matter!"

Though he could tell that Qian Xunji meant it was still not enough,

Yu Yuanzhen truly did not want to give anything more, so he could only pretend not to understand.

Clenching his teeth, he forced a smile and bowed.

"You think one Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is enough?"

Qian Xunji sneered.

"A Ten Thousand Year Void-attribute Soul Bone is indeed precious."

"But no matter how precious it is, it cannot compare to a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Top Spirits."

"As long as such a genius is properly nurtured, they will almost certainly reach the realm of Titled Douluo. In the future, they may even hope to become a Limit Douluo, or even reach the legendary realm of Deities!"

"Furthermore, Twin Martial Souls ensure that once one reaches Titled Douluo, one will be invincible among those of the same realm!"

"This is a genius who could support Spirit Hall in the future!"

"Because of your son, this genius chose to betray Spirit Hall."

"In the end, I had no choice but to endure the deep feelings I had developed after painstakingly nurturing and teaching her for more than a decade, and cripple this genius whom I had practically regarded as my daughter!"

"Do you know how much pain I'm in?"

Qian Xunji wore an indignant and pained expression as he angrily pounded his chest with his right fist.

As though he had made some tremendous emotional sacrifice.

In short, he wanted more compensation!

Listening to Qian Xunji's words,

and seeing the indignant, pained expression on his face,

though she was still filled with hatred for Qian Xunji,

Bibi Dong could not help but feel shaken and saddened deep down as she recalled all the moments when Qian Xunji, her teacher, had treated her well while she was growing up.

But when she thought of the contemptuous expression Qian Xunji had shown earlier,

the turmoil and sadness in Bibi Dong's heart instantly vanished, replaced once again by resentment.

Lies! He must be lying!

If he really still couldn't let me go,

I already said that I would return as long as he spared Xiao Gang.

Then why did he look so disdainful and say that I was being sentimental?

"A genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls certainly has limitless potential in the future."

"But throughout recorded history, every person with Twin Martial Souls has ultimately died from Body Explosion and Death!"

"Your Holiness the Pope, how can you be certain that this Twin Martial Soul genius of Spirit Hall will not also die from Body Explosion and Death?"

Seeing Qian Xunji praise Bibi Dong's value to the heavens,

Yu Yuanzhen feared that even selling off the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not be enough compensation.

Gritting his teeth, he argued on logical grounds, hoping to lower Bibi Dong's value.

"Spirit Hall has already found a way to prevent Twin Martial Souls from causing Body Explosion and Death."

Qian Xunji spoke only this one sentence calmly.

Yet it left Yu Yuanzhen unable to say another word.

"Your Holiness the Pope, what exactly must the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan do for you to spare Xiao Gang?"

"And stop holding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan accountable?"

Realizing that he could neither fool Qian Xunji nor outargue him, Yu Yuanzhen could no longer keep up the act. He clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and asked coldly.

"Very simple. In addition to the previous compensation, hand over your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Inheritance Spirit Bone: True Dragon Nine Crowns!"

Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes, fixed his gaze on Yu Yuanzhen, smiled faintly, and spoke slowly.

"That's impossible!"

Yu Yuanzhen was furious. With a sweep of his sleeve, he immediately refused.

What a joke!

True Dragon Nine Crowns was the foundation upon which the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stood.

How could they possibly hand it over!

"Sect Master Yu! I advise you not to mistake kindness for weakness!"

Qian Xunji's expression also turned cold. His hands gripped the throne's armrests as his narrowed eyes locked onto Yu Yuanzhen with overwhelming pressure. He said icily,

"Your son Yu Xiao Gang seduced Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's former Saintess, causing her to betray Spirit Hall. Because of this, I had no choice but to cripple her cultivation."

"Anyone knows the value of a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Top Spirits, the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor!"

"If I reveal this matter, then use it as grounds to lead people in an assault on your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and destroy it,"

"no one would be able to find even half a fault with Spirit Hall!"

"Originally, that was what I intended to do."

"If I did that, not only would you not need to hand them over, I could obtain not only the True Dragon Nine Crowns inherited by your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,"

"but every other Soul Bone as well!"

"I'm only giving you an opportunity because you were sensible enough to come and apologize of your own accord."

"If you fail to seize this opportunity, then don't blame me for personally taking the True Dragon Nine Crowns from your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

By the end, Qian Xunji sneered. A powerful wave of pressure and killing intent instantly swept through the entire hall.

For a moment, the air itself seemed to freeze.

Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists, his expression ugly and his heart filled with rage.

But in the end, he still deflated.

"I can give you the True Dragon Nine Crowns!"

Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and spoke unwillingly.

"But on the condition that you and I have a soul battle. If you can defeat me,"

"I will offer the True Dragon Nine Crowns to you with both hands!"
