Grilled Fish and Shrek Academy (Part One)

Due to factors such as the age of their soul rings, Ling Bai and Tang Ya took quite a long time to absorb them. Ning Tian took out some specially made medicine from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and scattered it around to repel soul beasts.

"Mm..."

Ling Bai suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. His bright golden eyes gleamed sharply, and his essence, energy, and spirit had fully recovered to their peak.

"Bai Ge, you succeeded!"

Ning Tian was the first to notice something unusual about Ling Bai and hurried over.

Ling Bai patted her little head. As he activated his Soul Power, four soul rings—yellow, purple, purple, and black—rapidly rose from beneath his feet. The most eye-catching was the pitch-black Ten Thousand Year soul ring, which emitted a deep, unfathomable aura, as though it could swallow every source of light around it.

From this moment onward, Ling Bai's strength had leapt to another level.

After sensing his newly acquired Fourth Soul Skill, Ling Bai could not help smiling. He was extremely satisfied with the soul skill granted by the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture.

"Lucky bastard."

Wu Feng quietly edged closer and said coolly.

"Congratulations, Junior Ling. You got what you wished for."

Bei Bei's eyes held complicated emotions. Ling Bai had fulfilled his promise. He could rival... no, surpass Tang San at the same rank. When Tang San had been a Soul Ancestor, his soul ring configuration had merely been yellow, yellow, purple, black.

Huo Yuhao was even more envious. Although he had obtained an unprecedented million-year soul ring, he always felt that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not seem particularly reliable. It might not be as good as a genuine Ten Thousand Year soul ring.

Ling Bai stretched and walked toward the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture's corpse. Seeing the bloody remains scattered before him and recalling the pleasure of life slipping away beneath his fingertips, a trace of desire rose uncontrollably within his heart before he secretly suppressed it.

The Death Spider Emperor fed on flesh and blood, while the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor enjoyed devouring souls. The fused Death Prison Spider Emperor combined the strengths of both!

It wanted everything!

As the owner of the martial soul, Ling Bai was inevitably affected by the Death Prison Spider Emperor. Fortunately, the Six-Winged Angel helped him preserve the last trace of clarity in his mind.

Ling Bai routinely checked for a soul bone. He had not held out much hope, but then he froze. With a flash of excitement, he split open the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture's bony claw with a sword.

Inside was, astonishingly, a soul bone!

The soul bone was platinum in color and resembled a human arm bone. Its form was exceptionally complete, indicating extremely high quality. Five slender fingers pointed upward, each fingertip radiating a faint platinum glow.

Ten Thousand Year Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture Right Arm Bone!

Everyone was immediately drawn to the soul bone. Wu Feng's eyes widened as she said incredulously, "A Ten Thousand Year soul ring and a Ten Thousand Year soul bone? Ling Bai, did you step in dog shit or something?"

The next second, Ling Bai's hand chopped down on her head with a clang. Wu Feng instantly clutched her head and squatted on the ground.

"Watch your language. Don't go around talking about shit and piss all day."

Ning Tian examined the soul bone's Soul Power fluctuations and texture before commenting, "Even with the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's collection, it would be difficult to find many Ten Thousand Year soul bones that could compare to this one."

"So beautiful..."

Huo Yuhao, with his limited knowledge, could not understand the value of a soul bone. Yet its exquisite and luxurious appearance was deeply imprinted in his heart, and he could not help blurting it out.

Bei Bei's perception differed entirely from Ning Tian's and Huo Yuhao's. He said seriously, "I can sense an extremely dense power of light within this soul bone. It must have inherited the Light Sacred Dragon bloodline of the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture. It is exceptionally compatible with your Six-Winged Angel martial soul."

Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had likewise inherited the Light Sacred Dragon bloodline of Dragon God Douluo Mu En. That was why he could resonate with the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture soul bone through their light bloodlines.

Ling Bai had contributed the most to killing the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture, so the soul bone naturally belonged to him. Ling Bai did not stand on ceremony and immediately sat cross-legged to absorb it.

About two hours later, Ling Bai and Tang Ya woke up one after the other. At times like this, the gulf in talent between them became glaringly apparent. Ling Bai had absorbed a Ten Thousand Year soul ring and a Ten Thousand Year soul bone, yet he woke even faster than Tang Ya, who had absorbed only a thousand-year soul ring.

Tang Ya learned from Bei Bei about everything that had happened while she was absorbing her soul ring. Her petite, moist red lips formed a huge O.

Who could understand this? She woke up from one nap, and her entire worldview had collapsed!

Her newly accepted little disciple had the spiritual-type body martial soul, Spirit Eyes!

Her junior sister was a direct disciple of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!

And her junior brother was freaking a Six-Winged Angel—a four-ring Six-Winged Angel!

When Tang Ya thought about how she would struggle to break through to four rings even by graduation, she immediately whined and hid beneath a tree root to draw circles on the ground, muttering:

"Curse you monsters to sneeze in the middle of the night!"

After everyone had laughed and cried over the absurdity of it, they discussed their next move. By then, the sky had completely darkened, and spending the night in the Star Dou Great Forest was definitely not a good idea.

The six of them decisively chose to maintain their previous formation and quickly head toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Their luck was remarkably good. During their retreat, they encountered only a few hundred-year soul beasts, all of which were easily dealt with by Tang Ya, who had just advanced to Soul Elder and was itching for a fight.

Four hours later, they finally left the Star Dou Great Forest's territory and continued another fifty kilometers outward. At that distance, they no longer needed to worry about encountering soul beasts.

The sound of flowing water came from nearby. Under the moonlight, a clear stream reflecting a sky full of stars appeared before them. The water babbled crisply, and the cool stream brought a refreshing chill.

Tang Ya cheered and rushed to the stream. Her slender jade-like hands scooped up a pool of water, which she lightly splashed over her face.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng went over to Tang Ya. Both usually cared greatly about cleanliness, so they also used the stream water to wash away the dust and sweat on their bodies.

Ling Bai rested both hands behind his neck and watched Ning Tian's lovely back with a gentle smile.

With the powerful vision granted by his Spirit Eyes, Huo Yuhao clearly saw fish swimming along the bottom of the stream. Looking around at the somewhat familiar surroundings, he exclaimed in delight, "Teacher Xiaoya, Eldest Senior Brother, this is where we ate grilled fish when we first met!"

"What!"

Tang Ya, who had been hungry for most of the day, immediately lit up at the words and urged anxiously:

"Yuhao, hurry, hurry, hurry! Bei Bei, catch the fish. I'll gather branches, and you'll grill them! I couldn't forget your grilled fish after just one bite. Let Junior Ling and the others taste your cooking too!"

After saying that, she winked at Ling Bai and the other two. "Trust your senior sister, Yuhao's grilled fish is super, super, super delicious!"

Ling Bai agreed with that completely. Having read Peerless Tang Sect, he had always believed that Huo Yuhao's talent for cooking was absolutely greater than his talent for cultivation!

Even if he did not become a Soul Master in the future, he would surely become a renowned master chef!

Standing beneath a lush giant tree, Bei Bei smiled indulgently when he heard Tang Ya's call. He rolled up his sleeves and waded into the stream, blue-violet lightning flickering around his fingertips.

Ling Bai's eyelid twitched. He seemed to understand what Bei Bei intended to do next. All he wanted to say was:

Electro-fishing!

You little punk, that's illegal!
