Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Absorbing the Sealed Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone

In fact, Dugu Bo already had a suitable soul bone, which Su Ming had received over the years from the system. However, Su Ming wasn't planning to give it to Dugu Bo just yet. Its origin was too difficult to explain. Although they were close, Su Ming wanted Dugu Bo to digest what he had already received before providing him with more upgrades later.

Su Ming figured that once Dugu Bo had an absolute life-saving technique, he could just kite his enemies to death. As for himself, Su Ming hadn't chosen to absorb any of the soul bones he had obtained from the system since he wasn't satisfied with their ages.

If the system didn't give him a high-enough-level soul bone, he would find one himself. There were two god-level soul bones at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. However, Su Ming knew that to reach them, he would need to resist the extreme ice and fire and dive at least ten thousand meters deep, which was far beyond his current ability.

Moreover, those two god-level bones from the Ice and Fire Dragon King didn't align well with Su Ming's attributes. To strengthen his Wood Release technique, his best choice was to focus on enhancing life force and toughness. Eventually, he might consider adding a poison attribute to his Wood Release. He remembered there was a certain powerful technique that required poison, so it would be useful to prepare for that.

At this point, Dugu Bo turned to Su Ming and said, "Alright, little monster, we've been away long enough. It's time to head back. After I deal with Tang San, I have a personal matter to attend to."

Su Ming had an idea of what Dugu Bo was planning but asked, "Oh? A personal matter? Care to share, or is it a secret?"

Dugu Bo laughed, "It's no big deal. Now that my strength has improved, I plan to settle a score with someone. Well, 'settling' is a bit strong. It's more about venting my frustration since I've lost to him more times than I'd like to admit."

Su Ming teased, "What do you mean 'more times'? You've probably never won, which is why you're so eager for revenge. Who is it? He must be quite strong if you're this motivated."

Dugu Bo chuckled and replied, "You cheeky brat, give me some credit! He's an elder of the Spirit Hall, with strength at level 95. His spirit is a chrysanthemum. Although my strength was slightly weaker than his, my poison should have been a natural counter to his spirit, but for some reason, it didn't have the expected effect."

Su Ming silently mused, Of course it didn't. Chrysanthemum Douluo's spirit isn't just any ordinary chrysanthemum—it's the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum!

The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, as an immortal herb, could grant an indestructible body when absorbed. Since it served as Chrysanthemum Douluo's spirit, it naturally had a certain resistance to poison and was incredibly durable.

Unfortunately for Chrysanthemum Douluo, he chose the wrong path by developing it as a power-attack type. Had he cultivated as a control or food-type spirit master, his current strength would far surpass where he was now. Even choosing a defensive path would have been better than pursuing the power-attack route.

Su Ming asked, "Maybe his spirit has unique properties. Do you know what his spirit is called?"

Dugu Bo shook his head, "No, but based on what you're saying, it seems different from a regular chrysanthemum. I don't know much about it. Anyway, let's not dwell on that. It's time to go."

Su Ming paused for a moment before saying, "Wait, there's something I need to do first. Old monster, you can watch over me for now."

With that, Su Ming pulled out a blue-gold right leg bone from his storage soul tool. This soul bone had been sitting unused for six years. Now that he had cut ties with Tang San and Tang Hao wasn't nearby, it was time to absorb it and boost his power.

Dugu Bo, sensing the powerful aura emanating from the bone, exclaimed, "This is... a hundred-thousand-year soul bone! Little monster, how did you get your hands on such a thing?"

Su Ming nonchalantly replied, "I was lucky. What, old monster, are you interested in it?"

Dugu Bo remained silent for a moment before shaking his head, "As much as a hundred-thousand-year soul bone tempts me, if we didn't know each other, I might have taken it by force. But not now. I, Dugu Bo, may not always be honorable, but I repay my debts. You trust me, so I won't disappoint you."

Su Ming smiled but said nothing more. He knew Dugu Bo's character, which was why he dared to take out the soul bone in front of him. Even if Dugu Bo did give in to temptation, Su Ming had plenty of ways to escape.

This was also Su Ming's final test of Dugu Bo's integrity, and now he felt at ease. He could fully trust Dugu Bo.

Su Ming then pulled out another high-quality soul bone from his storage tool and said, "Here, old monster. This is a fifty-thousand-year Wind Demon Snake left leg bone. Let's both absorb our bones together. As for its origin, don't ask."

Dugu Bo was shocked by Su Ming's generosity. The young man had so many secrets, yet he could casually take out two powerful soul bones. But since it was Su Ming's secret, Dugu Bo didn't pry further. He knew that at this moment, Su Ming truly saw him as an ally.

After giving Su Ming a deep look, Dugu Bo sat down to begin absorbing the soul bone. Even though it was just a left leg bone, the fact that it was fifty-thousand years old made it incredibly rare.

Originally, Su Ming had planned to wait a while before giving Dugu Bo this bone, but he figured, why wait? The faster Dugu Bo became stronger, the better it would be for him.

After about two days, Su Ming finished absorbing the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone. His soul power level had risen to 48.5, but Su Ming felt both disappointed and unsurprised.

However, upon reflecting that his soul power was heavily compressed, he could accept it. If he recalled correctly, Tang San had absorbed the bone at around level 50 and had only gained three levels.

One of the soul bone's abilities was the incredible healing power that Su Ming had expected. The second ability, however, differed from the original story. Instead of granting flight, it was a boost ability, increasing Su Ming's life force by 300%.

This pleasantly surprised Su Ming. It was exactly what he needed, and the percentage boost exceeded his expectations.

As far as he knew, while Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, had some control over life force, she hadn't mastered it fully. For the bone to provide such a significant boost was more than Su Ming could have hoped for!

At this moment, Dugu Bo's voice came from the side: "Little monster, you've finally finished absorbing the soul bone. I've been waiting for you here for almost two days."

Su Ming felt a bit embarrassed and replied, "Old monster, that was pretty fast, okay? You think a hundred-thousand-year soul bone is easy to absorb? Look at my current level, there's no way I could absorb it as fast as you!"

Dugu Bo smiled and asked, "So, did the soul bone give you any good soul skills?"

Satisfied, Dugu Bo nodded and explained, "The Wind Demon Snake is indeed known for its speed. This soul bone provides a dodging skill, something like a snake's slithering movement. After activating it, my speed increases by two hundred percent for a short time."

Su Ming was a bit surprised, thinking Dugu Bo had really lucked out. This soul skill seemed tailor-made for him, perfectly suited for evading attacks and wearing down opponents from a distance.

"Alright, we've been away for quite a while. We should hurry back to Heaven Dou City and also check which academy Tang San and his group ended up at."

"We need to act quickly. If Tang San feels pressured and completely fuses with the soul bone, things will become much more difficult."

Dugu Bo nodded slowly, and they both prepared to leave. Before they departed, Dugu Bo reinforced the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with an even more potent poison barrier. Without his antidote, even Tang Hao wouldn't be able to breach the defenses.

A month earlier, Yu Xiaogang and his group had also set out for Heaven Dou City. Under Flender's guidance, they arrived at Blue Tyrant Academy, which happened to be recruiting new teachers.

On their way, they unexpectedly ran into Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianheng, who explained the situation and what had transpired between them and Su Ming.

Yu Xiaogang sighed, realizing that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had completely fallen out with Su Ming. But it didn't matter anymore—he'd take things one step at a time.

Yu Xiaogang then turned to Yu Tianheng and said, "Tianheng, you should return to the clan to recover from your injuries. Once you're healed, come to find me in Heaven Dou City. But you can't go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy anymore."

Yu Tianheng, though unwilling, had no other choice. If he dared to step foot in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Su Ming would likely kill him without hesitation. This time, Su Ming had shown mercy only because of Yu Yuanzhen's presence—otherwise, things would have been much worse than just broken limbs.

Now, Yu Tianheng felt a deep, inexplicable fear toward Su Ming.

Yu Xiaogang had no intention of giving up on a talent like Yu Tianheng. After all, with four members of the Shrek team leaving, they needed new recruits.

Not long after, without knowing it, Yu Xiaogang and Flender's group joined Blue Tyrant Academy.

When they arrived for their assessment, the strength of Flender's group shocked the examiners, who immediately took them to meet the headmistress, Liu Erlong.

In the back of the academy, Liu Erlong was watering her flowers when she saw Yu Xiaogang and the others approaching. The watering can slipped from her hands, crashing to the ground.

Her eyes ignited with fury. Finally, Yu Xiaogang had come! She had learned from Su Ming's diary about all the ways Yu Xiaogang had deceived her—an utter scumbag. Even though he had known that they might be related by blood, he had still toyed with her emotions!

If it weren't for the system's restrictions, Liu Erlong would've rushed over to beat Yu Xiaogang the moment she found out the truth. She had been holding onto this anger for nearly six years, and it hadn't lessened. In fact, it had only grown.

Liu Erlong, known for her fiery temper, was the type to resolve matters immediately. To make her suppress this rage for six long years was torture. But now, she no longer had to hold back!

She looked at Yu Xiaogang and Flender and said, "Xiaogang, Flender, you finally came!"

Flender was confused, wondering why Liu Erlong said "finally." Had she known they were coming?

Liu Erlong turned her blazing eyes toward Yu Xiaogang. "Xiaogang, you finally decided to come find me? How come you're not still hiding? You've been avoiding me for over ten years, haven't you?"

Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected Liu Erlong to be the headmistress of Blue Tyrant Academy. When he looked at Flender, he realized Flender had deliberately orchestrated this meeting!

Flender whispered, "Xiaogang, you've been avoiding Erlong for so long. It's time to let it go. Even though you can't... you know... function anymore, you still can't hide from her forever."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Liu Erlong. Her fiery figure and alluring appearance stirred something within him, but the feeling quickly vanished. To him, Liu Erlong wasn't quite as beautiful as Bibi Dong, but she had the advantage of an impressive figure. Unfortunately, he could only admire from afar now, as he had become a "rootless man."

Back then, he had been on the verge of marrying Liu Erlong. Just when he was about to make her his, her biological father, Yu Luomian, had appeared and revealed that they were cousins, ruining everything!

Of course, Yu Xiaogang had long suspected their familial connection. Even though Liu Erlong's spirit was a mutated fire dragon and not the traditional Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, its appearance was almost identical—only the attributes and color differed.

At the time, as a self-proclaimed "theory master," Yu Xiaogang had done his own investigation and found scattered clues. While he didn't know who Erlong's father was, he was sure they were related by blood. But he didn't care—Erlong was unaware of her heritage, and as long as he followed his plan, he could have her. Losing Bibi Dong? No problem, Liu Erlong was a decent consolation prize.

In the end, though, his plans were foiled. Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, and Yu Luomian's influence in the clan made sure his marriage was stopped.

Now, Yu Xiaogang was about to leave. He knew Flender would stop him, and when that happened, he planned to put on a heartfelt display of emotion. Hopefully, it would wipe away the past ten years of avoidance, and they could reconnect. Eventually, he would rekindle Liu Erlong's feelings for him.

Once she learned about his condition, he was sure she'd do everything she could to find a cure for him. Though he was now "rootless," Yu Xiaogang was no longer as desperate as before. He believed that somewhere on the continent, there was a spirit that could heal him.

As Yu Xiaogang was lost in his fantasy, a sudden force slammed into his abdomen!
