When Lin Mo and his group arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Education Committee, they happened to witness Tang San's External Soul Bone being forced out under the pressure of Soul Douluo Zhi Lin.
The atmosphere inside the Education Committee was somber.
Zhi Lin stood in the hall, his eight Soul Ring slowly rotating beneath his feet, and a powerful pressure of Soul Power pressed down on Tang San opposite him like a tidal wave.
Tang San's face turned pale, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Just as he was about to give up, his clothes suddenly ripped apart, and eight hideous spider legs burst out of his body.
The spider legs were entirely purplish-black, covered with fine barbs. The moment the Eight Spider Lances appeared, the pressure around Tang San eased abruptly, and his Soul Power fluctuations stabilized.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing in his emerald pupils, but he quickly concealed it.
He recognized the unusual feature on Tang San's back as Soul Bone, and an extremely rare External Soul Bone at that.
He knew all too well the value of External Soul Bone; they were rare treasures that could be found by chance, and they could evolve as the Soul Master grew, possessing limitless potential.
Dugu Bo quietly made a decision in his heart.
Such a treasure falling into the hands of a junior at level thirty-something is truly a waste.
He would wait for a suitable opportunity to secretly capture Tang San and extract his External Soul Bone.
However, at this moment, he did not show any unusual behavior in front of so many people, and simply stood quietly at the entrance of the hall.
Lin Mo stood behind Dugu Bo, his gaze also fixed on Tang San.
With his spiritual power far exceeding that of other Soul Master of the same level, Lin Mo clearly sensed the fluctuations in Tang San's Soul Power.
Level 38.
This surprised Lin Mo quite a bit.
Based on his memory, Tang San's Soul Power Level at this point in time should be at most level thirty-three or thirty-four.
How could it possibly be level 38?
However, Lin Mo soon Frisk something was wrong with Tang San.
With a more refined perception, Lin Mo's brows furrowed slightly.
Unlike the others whose attention was entirely focused on the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back, his attention was more focused on Tang San's right arm and left leg.
The physical strength of these two parts of the body was significantly greater than that of other parts of the body, and they also faintly exuded an aura that Lin Mo was familiar with.
Dragons----
The aura was so faint that if Lin Mo's Body Martial Soul hadn't been extremely sensitive to blood and qi, and if he hadn't also possessed a dragon-type Martial Soul, he probably wouldn't have been able to Frisk.
Sensing this, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Soul Bone!
Moreover, these two Soul Bone Soul Bone were produced by dragon-type Soul Beast. Judging from their aura, they were of quite good quality, at least ten thousand years old.
Realizing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.
Tang San knew that he had accidentally obtained the Eight Spider Lances while hunting the Man Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest, and he had witnessed it firsthand.
But where did Tang San's right arm and left leg Soul Bone come from?
In his memory, the Eight Spider Lances were Tang San's only Soul Bone in his early days, and the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone that Tang San's mother Ah Yin, left him should have been his right leg bone, which doesn't match Tang San's two Soul Bone.
But now----
Lin Mo's gaze lingered on Tang San for a moment before slowly shifting away.
It seems that Tang San has encountered some other opportunities recently.
In the hall, Tang San silently retracted the Eight Spider Lances from his back.
The purplish-black spider legs slowly retracted into its body. Although the clothes on its back were torn, no obvious marks were left on its skin.
He took a deep breath and bowed to Zhi Lin, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Zhi Lin withdrew his Soul Power, and the eight Soul Ring also dissipated.
He looked at Tang San, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, but said nothing, only nodding.
Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan naturally recognized that the Eight Spider Lances on Tang San's back were Soul Bone. They exchanged a glance and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Even among Soul Douluo, Soul Bone are rare treasures.
However, due to Dugu Bo's sudden appearance, the two did not exclaim in surprise, but instead turned their attention to the crowd at the entrance of the hall.
"Senior Poison Douluo," Meng Shenji spoke first, bowing slightly to Dugu Bo, "What brings you to the academy today?"
Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin also bowed at the same time.
Dugu Bo waved his hand casually, "Come with this kid for a stroll."
He stepped aside, revealing Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng behind him.
Xue Beng had tidied himself up by now, but the bruises on his face were still clearly visible.
As soon as he entered, Zi Guang Lock-On his gaze on Dai Mubai, who was standing among the Shrek Academy students, his eyes filled with rage.
Dai Mubai Frisk Xue Beng's gaze, snorted coldly, and met his eyes without flinching, his face full of disdain.
When he made his move yesterday, even if he had known that Xue Beng was the Fourth Prince, he would still have attacked him without hesitation.
He didn't take Xue Beng's so-called status as the fourth prince seriously at all.
In terms of status, he was a prince of the Star Luo Empire, whose position was no lower than that of Xue Beng.
In terms of strength, he was a level 37 Soul Elder, so defeating a level 20+ Soul Grandmaster was naturally a crushing victory.
Of course, even if Dai Mubai was arrogant, he wouldn't dare reveal his identity here.
For a prince of the Star Luo Empire Clan to reveal his identity at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, an academy directly under the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, was tantamount to courting death.
Prince Xue Xing stepped forward, nodded to the three education committee members, and then turned his gaze to the Shrek Academy students in the hall.
"Commissioner Meng, Commissioner Bai, Commissioner Zhi," Xue Xing said calmly, "Regarding Shrek Academy joining the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I have some different opinions."
Xue Xing pointed to the Xue Beng behind her. "Yesterday, as soon as these people from the Shrek Academy arrived at the academy, they attacked the Xue Beng."
Although the fourth prince is incompetent, he is still of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family blood and represents the face of the royal family.
He paused, then emphasized, " The Heaven Dou Royal Academy, as the premier academy within the empire, is not some garbage dump, not..."
Anyone can come in.
The academy does not welcome such Swagger and domineering individuals.
"As the royal family's representative in the academy, I have the reason and the right to veto the admission of these individuals."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Meng Shenji and the other two darkened.
Bai Baoshan couldn't help but speak up, "Your Highness, is there some misunderstanding? The teachers and students of the Shrek Academy are all exceptional talents—"
"Talent?" Xue Xing interrupted Bai Baoshan, her gaze sweeping over the Shrek Academy members. "Whether they are talented or not will only be known through testing."
He turned to Dugu Bo, his tone respectful. "Mr. Dugu, would you please take action and test the strength of these people?"
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow but did not answer immediately.
Xue Xing continued, "If they can hold out against Mr. Dugu for five minutes, then I have nothing to say. Whether they join or not is entirely up to the three education committee members."
If you can't even hold on for five minutes----"
He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear: they could just leave.
On the Shrek Academy's side, Flender's expression changed.
Although he did not know Dugu Bo, he could tell from Prince Xue Xing's respectful attitude towards this man that the green-eyed old man's identity was by no means simple.
Titled Douluo.
The thought flashed through Flender's mind, making his heart tighten.
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and prepared to accept the test.
Even a clay figure has some temper. As the dean of the Shrek Academy, he was naturally losing face after being humiliated like this.
Before Flender could even speak, Yu Xiaogang shouted sternly, " Flender, shut up!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice was urgent, even trembling slightly.
He had already recognized Dugu Bo's identity. This man was probably the only Titled Douluo in the Heaven Dou Empire, the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
However, what was more important was the exposure of Tang San's External Soul Bone, which immediately set off alarm bells in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
Soul Bone, especially External Soul Bone, are extremely attractive to Soul Master.
Even Titled Douluo would be tempted by such a rare and precious treasure.
He believed in the character of the three education committee members, but he absolutely did not believe in the character of Poison Douluo.
This person's reputation isn't good in the Soul Master World.
If Tang San continues to stay here, what if Poison Douluo gets malicious intentions?
Yu Xiaogang dared not think any further; he dared not gamble on whether Poison Douluo had recognized the Soul Bone on Tang San's back.
Every minute they stayed there increased the danger for Tang San.
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang no longer hesitated, grabbed Flender, and roared, " Flender, are you crazy? Do you want to send all your old brothers and these kids to their deaths here?"
