Bai Baoshan and Zhilin exchanged a glance and nodded.
All for the Empire, all for the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy!
The two bowed to Chi Yu as well.
They had already trained a treacherous wolf; this time, they absolutely could not repeat the same mistake!
Seeing this, cold sweat dripped down Chi Yu's forehead. The three education committee members treated her like this, even bowing to her—wouldn't that shorten her lifespan?
Even if their motives were slightly impure, she had truly gained benefits!
Without the three education committee members, she couldn't have grown so much in just one month.
This was the first time Chi Yu had experienced something like this, and she was momentarily at a loss. She quickly helped the three education committee members up.
"Three education committee members, you, like this..."
In her panic, Chi Yu stammered.
Seeing this, the three education committee members stroked their beards, very satisfied with Chi Yu's performance.
This child has absolutely no guile!
"Whether or not I have this soul bone, I will do my best to repay the kindness shown to me by the Education Committee,"
Chi Yu said solemnly.
A favor is a favor, regardless of any ulterior motives.
"Good! With your words, Chi Yu, even if I die tomorrow, I can guarantee the academy's safety for a hundred years!"
Meng Shenji said excitedly.
Chi Yu becoming a powerful figure was practically a done deal!
Breaking through to the Title Douluo level was only a matter of time.
In fact, as long as the Heaven Dou Empire didn't fall, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy wouldn't have any problems.
But they didn't want to experience Dugu Bo's attempt to expel them again!
As long as the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could cultivate a powerful Title Douluo, his name would carry weight, and even if Chi Yu wasn't at the academy, anyone wanting to cause trouble would have to think twice!
That was the deterrent effect of a powerful figure!
Previously, many who opposed the Crown Prince's actions had their voices diminished considerably after the Martial God Douluo became a guest elder of the Crown Prince's residence.
After Zhong Li and Yue Guan's sparring match, these voices almost disappeared!
Ultimately, strength speaks volumes.
You can use it, but you can't be without it!
"Then wouldn't I become the chief?"
Meng Shenji, Zhilin, and Chiyu subconsciously looked at Bai Baoshan.
"Uh..."
"If you leave, I might not leave either!"
"Isn't that what you said?"
"I was just using an analogy!"
"Alright, you become the chief, and I'll be second!"
The three had a very good relationship, after all, they had worked together for decades.
This was just Bai Baoshan joking to lighten the mood.
After a moment, the three stopped smiling, especially Meng Shenji and Zhilin. They had already seen what was in the box, so they were naturally much more nervous and serious than Bai Baoshan.
"Chiyu, open it. If you like it, absorb it on the spot. The three of us will protect you!"
Meng Shenji said solemnly.
This thing was truly too precious.
If Chiyu didn't absorb it on the spot, they wouldn't feel comfortable letting her take it out!
Seeing Meng Shenji's serious expression, Chi Yu nodded and opened the box...
In an instant, soul power fluctuations and a dark black light filled the entire room.
The powerful soul power fluctuations rushed towards her, causing Chi Yu to tremble with shock.
The soul power fluctuations of this soul bone were far, far stronger than the one she had revealed!
"Chi Yu, this soul bone can be said to be the empire's most treasured possession!"
Meng Shenji introduced as she examined it.
"This is a left leg soul bone. Although it ranks second to last among the six regular soul bones, its quality and age are considered the pinnacle of left leg soul bones!"
The ranking of the six regular soul bones of the same level is: torso, head, right arm, left arm, left leg, right leg.
"This soul bone was dropped by a speed-type beast king that was over 95,000 years old. It is absolutely suitable for agility-type soul masters."
"Even I, an old man, am thrilled to see it..."
Meng Shenji's words were perfectly accurate.
Soul bones of 100,000 years are almost impossible to find.
A soul bone of over 95,000 years is already a treasure among treasures!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the pinnacle of left leg soul bones!
Not to mention a 95,000-year soul bone, many titled Douluo don't even have a single 50,000-year soul bone.
The current Chi Yu is not the clueless little kitten girl she was a month ago.
She knows how precious soul bones are.
The soul bone before her was considered the pinnacle of existence below 100,000-year-old soul bones; its value was immeasurable!
Moreover, it was a soul bone perfectly suited to her.
"Too, too precious..."
"No, it's all worth it!"
Before Chi Yu could finish, Meng Shenji said with fervent enthusiasm.
"I've said it before, as long as you join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, I... the three of us..."
At this point, seeing the resentful faces of Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin, Meng Shenji's tone changed.
"The three of us will definitely fight for the best resources for you, helping you break through to the Title Douluo level and avoid several detours!"
"When you break through to the Soul Saint level, we will apply to the Great Emperor for another soul bone..."
Xue Ye: You guys... (And don't call me Great Emperor Xue Ye, call me Great Emperor of Withdrawal!)
Among cultivation resources, there are two most precious things!
One is a soul ring; a soul ring that suits you is the best resource.
The other is a soul bone!
Soul bones are a rare resource; once used, they're gone forever. They can only be recovered after the user dies.
The drop rate for soul bones is extremely low,
especially for high-level ones, where the soul beasts are incredibly powerful!
Several Soul Douluos died fighting for this one.
Also, don't underestimate the value of soul rings.
Even if you know which soul beast drops a soul ring, and the beast is right in front of you, you still have to defeat and kill it!
Hunting soul beasts is almost always done in small teams; solo hunting is rare.
A soul master rarely wins against a soul beast of the same level in a one-on-one situation, let alone fighting a beast of a higher level.
"Chi Yu, absorb it quickly! My eyes are about to turn red!"
Bai Baoshan turned his head away, trying hard not to look at the soul bone.
Even if it wasn't defensive, did its age and quality, or even its type, matter?
Actually, Meng Shenji was the most restrained; he was already level eighty-six.
After absorbing this soul bone, his soul power level would increase by at least one or two levels, and he would very likely break through to the Title Douluo level in his lifetime.
In the end, he restrained himself.
"The three instructors..."
It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved!
Especially for a naive kitten like Chi Yu, most importantly, she could sense the three men's emotions!
These three truly had no intention of harming her whatsoever!
Not even the slightest bit of malice.
"Um, I only have one self. If I want to become an apprentice, can I have three?"
