The thirty-year Demonic Flame Jiao was given to Ma Hongjun. After absorbing it, his soul power increased by one level. There was no soul bone skill—only that his physical quality became much stronger than before.
In other words, he became more resistant to beatings.
The fifty-year Scarlet Chain Snake head soul bone was given to Dai Mubai. After absorbing the soul bone, Dai Mubai's soul power also increased by one level and reached level forty-three. There was likewise no soul bone skill.
It only made his vision clearer—his opponent's attack movements would gradually appear slower, giving Dai Mubai ample reaction time.
As for the final ninety-year Demon Nether Deer right arm bone, Yu Xiaogang originally planned to give it to Ning Rongrong. Unexpectedly, Ning Rongrong rejected it without even thinking.
She did not dare to absorb a soul bone of unknown origin. Moreover, her father had long since formulated a complete cultivation system specifically for auxiliary-type soul masters. With the vast resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, obtaining soul bones was never an issue.
What was more, as Ning Fengzhi's daughter and the future heir to the position of Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the soul bones she would possess would definitely be the best!
If Ning Rongrong were to accept the soul bone handed over by Yu Xiaogang and absorb it at this moment,
then Ning Fengzhi would come knocking the very next day. With Yu Xiaogang's current awkward status, erasing him would be as easy as blinking an eye.
Even if Yu Xiaogang died at the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not say a word.
After all, the oath Yu Xiaogang made two years ago had already stirred public outrage. The fact that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan expelled him from the sect clearly showed how deeply he was hated by his own family.
Tricking Dai Mubai and the others into absorbing ten-year soul bones while emphasizing that they were thousand-year ones—Yu Xiaogang really knew how to sell a dream.
In the end, left with no other choice, Yu Xiaogang could only transfer it to Oscar.
After Oscar absorbed it, his soul power increased by one level, reaching level thirty-seven. The soul bone skill was acceleration—just as the name implied, it increased speed in a certain aspect and could also speed up sausage production.
For Oscar, who already served as the team's food-system soul master, this was a fairly decent soul bone skill.
"I never thought I, Ma Hongjun, would have a soul bone one day! I really want to spar with Zhou Sidong as soon as possible and let him experience the power of my soul bone!"
Ma Hongjun said confidently. Now that he also possessed a soul bone, he even stood a bit straighter when he spoke.
"Although it can't compare to the two ten-thousand-year soul bones that bitch Zhu Zhuqing has, it's still a thousand-year one. You have to know—soul bones are extremely precious. Master, thank you!"
Facing Yu Xiaogang, Dai Mubai bowed deeply together with Oscar and Ma Hongjun.
"No need to thank me. Everyone, hurry back and prepare yourselves. We must win today's match against Blazing Fire Academy! Don't let down all the effort I and Flander have put in!"
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, everyone dispersed and returned to their dorms to prepare.
Just as Dai Mubai and the others were leaving, they saw Flander rushing over from afar.
"Xiaogang, where are the three soul bones?"
Flander asked breathlessly.
"What do you want the soul bones for?"
Yu Xiaogang frowned, not understanding Flander's purpose.
"Those three soul bones are all ten-year ones. They're completely unsuitable for Mubai and the others—even if they absorb them, they won't be of much use. I contacted a familiar friend in the city to resell them through him and make a huge profit! Enough talk—hurry up and give me the soul bones!"
Under Flander's repeated urging, Yu Xiaogang wore a faintly smug smile. "Flander, you're too late."
Flander's body trembled, his head spinning. Gritting his teeth, he asked, "Xiaogang, you… you didn't give those three soul bones to Mubai and Hongjun, did you?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled and nodded. "That's right. Hongjun has already finished absorbing his soul bone, and they're already on the way to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena."
"You… Xiaogang, are you insane?! Why would you do this?!"
Flander roared at Yu Xiaogang with reddened eyes, questioning him furiously.
"I did this entirely for the sake of Shrek Academy. Flander, don't you want to win the tournament? Don't you want to defeat Zhou Sidong and wash away the shame?"
Yu Xiaogang also stared back with reddened eyes. The two of them argued until their throats were hoarse.
"These three soul bones are all ten-year ones. They're completely useless to Mubai and the others. Do you think they're like Little San, enjoying such special treatment?"
Mentioning Tang San made Flander furious!
Just because Tang San was Tang Hao's son, he could absorb near-thousand-year soul bones, while his own disciples could only absorb ten-year ones?
Everyone wanted soul bones.
For Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, who urgently needed to raise their soul power, the three thousand-year (ten-year) soul bones Yu Xiaogang brought back from the Sunset Forest were exactly what they needed.
Thus, under Yu Xiaogang's inducement, the three soul bones were evenly distributed, achieving Yu Xiaogang's objective.
To increase the overall strength of the team and give Tang San—who had already absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul bone—more room to perform, some sacrifice was necessary.
"Don't worry, Flander. A soul master can absorb six soul bones in their lifetime, excluding external soul bones. This time, making them sacrifice a bit for the tournament is totally worth it. You should look at it more openly."
Yu Xiaogang was in a great mood as he comforted his best friend.
Hearing this, Flander became even angrier. He directly slapped Yu Xiaogang hard across the face, pointed at his nose, and cursed:
"You bastard! How can you say something like that?! Only your disciples are disciples—are mine not?! Those three soul bones should have been absorbed by you! Maybe they could've even helped you break through to level thirty! You lied to them, saying they were thousand-year soul bones. As an elder—and a teacher—you are completely unworthy! You trash who deserves to be stuck at level twenty-nine for life and expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
After venting his fury, Flander stormed off toward the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to watch today's match.
"Damn it! His face is really thick—my hand hurts."
Flander tucked his hand into his sleeve, his palm burning with pain.
Yu Xiaogang sat blankly in his wheelchair, dizzy from the sudden slap, unable to recover for a long time.
Fortunately, his skin was thick—there wasn't even a slap mark left.
"Flander, you humiliated me first. I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Yu Xiaogang ground his teeth, trembling with rage.
"What did I do wrong? Everything I did was for Shrek Academy! And you even wanted me to absorb ten-year soul bones? They're not worthy of being absorbed by me, Yu Xiaogang!"
…
Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.
The third round of battles was about to begin today.
The opening match was Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team versus Blazing Fire Academy.
Blazing Fire Academy was a long-established powerhouse, known together with Tianshui Academy, Divine Wind Academy, Elephant Armor Academy, and Thunder Academy as the Five Element Academies.
Today, Zhou Sidong arrived early.
In the previous two matches against Shrek Academy and Tianshui Academy, both Zhu Zhuqings had taken the field. This time, no matter what, it was finally his turn. Constantly playing high-end matches wasn't ideal—occasionally crushing weaker opponents was also necessary.
"Ready to go on stage?"
At this moment, the two Zhu Zhuqings walked over. One was disguised, the other maintained her original appearance—this method ensured absolute safety when going out.
"I've been ready for a long time. This time, I'll let these people understand what true great terror really is!"
Zhou Sidong cracked his knuckles. Not personally fighting seven girls the past two days was one of his regrets.
But the preliminaries weren't over yet—there would be opportunities in the future.
The two Zhu Zhuqings exchanged glances and smiled without speaking. They knew Zhou Sidong's strength all too well. Even against a Titled Douluo, he had the power to fight. That day, a sixty-thousand-year soul beast was killed on the spot by his and Xiao Xue's martial soul fusion skill.
Seeing Zhou Sidong about to go all out, "Zhu Zhuqing" sighed and said, "Looks like Blazing Fire Academy is really unlucky today. But be careful—Blazing Fire Academy's vice-captain Huo Wu's Flaming Dance Blazing Sun is extremely terrifying. Try to avoid it when facing that move."
"Flaming Dance Blazing Sun?"
Zhou Sidong thought for a moment, then shook his head. "We'll see. Maybe I'll run into it."
While Zhou Sidong was preparing intensely for the upcoming battle,
at the same time, in another lounge, seven people wearing red team uniforms were engaged in a heated discussion.
"We can't deal with Zhu Zhuqing like this—her speed is simply too fast!" one red-clad youth said.
"Trap her with flames, restrict her movement, then have the vice-captain use Flaming Dance Blazing Sun. Only then do we have a chance of winning! As for those Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team members, they're not even second-rate!"
The discussion in the lounge revolved entirely around fighting Zhu Zhuqing. After the battles against Shrek Academy and Tianshui Academy, Zhu Zhuqing's name had already spread throughout Heaven Dou City.
This time, Blazing Fire Academy prepared for a long time and even made a special trip to Tianshui Academy to ask about Zhu Zhuqing.
"Let's do it this way! As soon as we take the field, focus all firepower on Zhu Zhuqing. Don't give her any chance to catch her breath!"
A girl with a hot figure and short fiery-red hair held Zhu Zhuqing's information in her hands, flames flickering in her eyes. This was definitely the strongest enemy Blazing Fire Academy had ever encountered!
Defeating Tianshui Academy single-handedly and retreating unscathed—one had to know that Tianshui Academy was even slightly stronger than Blazing Fire Academy. Yet they lost without even getting a chance to use their martial soul fusion skill.
Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but frown and sigh repeatedly.
"Sister, the match is about to start. Why are you sighing?"
At this moment, a burly youth in a red team uniform walked over. Seeing his sister's gloomy expression, he couldn't help but worry. With the match about to begin, they had to face it in peak condition.
The girl pouted and said helplessly, "It's all because of that Zhu Zhuqing. She's younger than us, stronger than us, and her fourth soul ring is already ten-thousand-year level. Since when did Heaven Dou Royal Academy produce such a genius…"
"There's always a higher mountain beyond the next. Blazing Fire Academy can't follow in Tianshui Academy's footsteps this time—otherwise, we'd really lose face."
The youth gave a bitter smile. Being swept aside on the arena wasn't glorious at all; in the end, it would only disgrace the academy.
"Excuse me, is little sister Huo Wu here?"
At this moment, the tightly closed lounge door opened, and a youth in green robes with a fairly handsome appearance cautiously poked his head inside.
"It's you?"
Everyone present knew exactly why Feng Xiaotian was here, so they each went about their business, pretending nothing had happened.
"Feng Xiaotian, what are you doing here?"
The fiery-red-haired girl put her hands on her hips and looked at Feng Xiaotian with some exasperation. This piece of chewing gum just wouldn't go away.
From academy to competition, it was always like this. She was annoyed, but there was nothing she could do—after all, the other party was Divine Wind Academy's most outstanding student.
Moreover, her academy's father figure seemed intent on matchmaking her with Feng Xiaotian, which troubled her greatly. Just seeing Feng Xiaotian gave her a headache.
"Huo Wu, Blazing Fire Academy is about to face Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team. Your opponent this time is very troublesome. Even I might not necessarily be her match."
Feng Xiaotian spoke honestly.
"Then why are you here? To cheer us on?"
The girl asked coldly.
The atmosphere in the lounge became somewhat awkward. Seeing this, the girl's brother hurriedly pulled Feng Xiaotian aside and whispered, "You really came at the wrong time. Huo Wu is worried about how to deal with Zhu Zhuqing."
Seeing Huo Wu's troubled expression, Feng Xiaotian felt a pang of sympathy and couldn't help but sigh.
"That Zhu Zhuqing is indeed this tournament's dark horse. She swept through Tianshui Academy by herself. Even our Divine Wind Academy has discussed it many times and still can't come up with a reliable way to defeat her."
Hearing this, Huo Wu's brother sighed as well. He had thought Divine Wind Academy already had a countermeasure—but this was it?
Instantly, his heart felt much more balanced.
Today was the third round of the preliminary matches.
The opening battle was Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team versus Blazing Fire Academy.
The spectator stands were already packed, everyone shouting Zhu Zhuqing's name. The two Zhu Zhuqings in the lounge exchanged smiles—today would disappoint them, because the one taking the field today was not Zhu Zhuqing, but…
"Zhou Sidong?!"
As the host announced the official start of today's match, the fourteen competitors from Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team and Blazing Fire Academy stepped onto the battle arena in orderly fashion.
VIP seats.
All kinds of important figures sat here. At the forefront was Emperor Xue Ye, smiling with satisfaction. Thanks to the outstanding performance of Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team—and since Heaven Dou Royal Academy was founded by the royal family itself—he, the emperor, was effectively the academy's true backstage headmaster.
The first two matches had really brought honor to the Heaven Dou Empire!
Sitting slightly behind Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi's expression was unpleasant because of Zhou Sidong's appearance.
Tang Yuehua's sudden visit two days ago had left Ning Fengzhi unsettled. The sudden destruction of the Clear Sky Sect—and according to Tang Yuehua's account, the mastermind behind it might be Zhou Sidong.
Of course, this was only speculation, with no direct evidence pointing to Zhou Sidong.
Even so, Ning Fengzhi felt heavy-hearted. Thinking about the fate of the Strength Clan and the Clear Sky Sect, his breathing grew rapid and labored.
Because just yesterday, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo had gone to the Clear Sky Sect. The scene before their eyes was exactly as Tang Yuehua had described.
The Clear Sky Sect was destroyed. The back mountain was filled with tombstones—the tombs of the current sect master Tang Xiao and five high-ranking elders were particularly conspicuous.
After seeing the reality, Ning Fengzhi, as the helmsman of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, could not help but develop a sense of vigilance toward Zhou Sidong.
"So Zhou Sidong is actually taking the field this time. Good—let me see just how strong he really is."
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself. Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, seated on either side, simultaneously held their breath and focused intently on the battle below.
"Zhou Sidong…"
Shrek Academy lounge.
When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.
Led by Tang San, several people radiated killing intent. Dai Mubai, in particular, harbored the hatred of having his fiancée taken away!
He didn't know what had happened on the family's side, but his engagement to Zhu Zhuqing had been annulled—an unprecedented event.
Indirectly, this made Dai Mubai the first crown prince in history to have his engagement canceled. According to what he'd learned, the incident had already become a laughingstock.
The throne that once seemed within reach now felt impossibly distant.
"That damned bastard! He's appeared again after half a year!"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists. Regarding his current strength, he felt confident—a confidence born from soul bones.
He was now also a soul master with a soul bone. At this moment, Shrek Academy's momentum surged once again!
All of this was seen by Flander. Looking at the group of little monsters whose gazes seemed ready to devour Zhou Sidong alive, Flander shook his head and muttered, "Poor little guys—completely fooled by Yu Xiaogang."
Before long, Liu Erlong pushed over Yu Xiaogang, whose face was full of displeasure.
The moment she entered, Liu Erlong stared at Flander with the gaze of someone looking at an enemy—because he had hit Xiaogang and even insulted him as trash!
Liu Erlong absolutely could not tolerate this!
If Tang San and the others weren't present, she would have already fallen out with Flander on the spot!
"Good thing it's not Zhu Zhuqing—just a new face."
On the arena.
Seeing Zhou Sidong, an unfamiliar face, step onto the field, Huo Wu secretly let out a sigh of relief. If it were still Zhu Zhuqing, they had no confidence in defeating her—unless they fought to the death, which might give them a slim chance.
Little did they know, the nightmare was only just beginning.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team versus Blazing Fire Academy. Both sides have one minute to summon their martial souls!"
As the host's voice fell,
Zhou Sidong felt a wave of scorching heat rush toward him. Towering flames engulfed Blazing Fire Academy, and within the sea of fire, seven figures lit up their soul rings beneath their feet. In terms of momentum, they completely suppressed Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team.
"Three Soul Elders and four Soul Ancestors—interesting."
Zhou Sidong smiled wickedly. He glanced at the six Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team members behind him, who looked completely at a loss, and shook his head.
"Looks like it's finally time for me to carry six deadweights alone."
