Chapter 429: Six Soul Bones (Seeking Subscriptions, Sixth Update)_1

Qian Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the members of Sea God's Pavilion, thinking to himself, "So they've allocated Dong'er to the Tang Sect team, but it seems that was indeed the only option."

After all, only a few people had joined Tang Sect...

He then helplessly shook his head...

Never mind, he estimated that he would soon need to properly train his own team to prevent any accidents during the competition...

At this moment, Yan Shaozhe spoke again, "This Soul Master competition isn't just about the strength of Martial Souls, but also about the assistance of soul tools, which is indispensable!"

"This has always been our academy's weak point, which greatly hindered our chances of winning the championship in the past. However, now with the soul tool abilities of Yuhao, Qian Yu, and He Caitou, we will not be at a disadvantage in the soul tool area!"

Ningtian said with joy, "Exactly! Our Elder Qian Yu here is an eighth-level soul master!"

Dai Yaoheng nodded, pondering, "Indeed, with the addition of soul masters to each team, we can at least avoid being at a disadvantage!"

Bei Bei and the others also nodded...

They all understood the gap in combat between having and not having a soul master on their team...

One could say that without a soul master, they would lose the initiative!

Fan Yu, who had been silent until now, looked at Huo Yuhao with curiosity in his eyes and asked, "Yuhao, what rank of soul master are you now?"

Since Huo Yuhao and Qian Yu returned to Shrek Academy, he had not yet come to understand to what extent their soul tool abilities had reached!

Huo Yuhao was startled and then said, "Dean Fan, I have reached the rank of a Level Six Soul Master."

With the improvement of his soul power rank, his ability in soul tools had naturally increased as well!

Fan Yu nodded and said softly, "Hmm, a Level Six Soul Master? That makes sense."

Xian Lin'er also agreed, "Being able to reach the rank of a Level Six Soul Master in such a short time is quite an achievement!"

Little did they know, Huo Yuhao only had the title of a Level Six Soul Master because of his soul power rank!

His true ability in soul tools had already reached the level where he could create Level Seven Soul Guidance Devices!

Just then, Yan Shaozhe suddenly turned to look at the main seat's Elder Mu, whose turbid eyes flickered a few times and nodded slightly toward him...

Yan Shaozhe took a deep breath and said to all the students of Shrek, "Now that the teams for the competition have all been allocated, you may leave first!"

The Shrek Academy Inner Court students all said, "Yes, Elders!"

With that, they quickly turned and left the members of the Sea God's Pavilion...

After everyone had left, only the members of Sea God's Pavilion remained...

Yan Shaozhe slowly returned to his seat and looked toward Elder Mu...

Xuan Zi seemed to notice Elder Mu's aura and said gravely, "Elder Mu, have you decided to reveal 'that matter'?"

Elder Mu's face, aged and full of sorrow, had turned pale; after coughing once, he spoke slowly, "There's no need to hide this matter, after all... my time has already come."

Yan Shaozhe was the first to respond in shock, "What? Elder Mu, how can you joke about such matters?"

Xian Lin'er's face also turned pale as she said, "That's right, Shrek Academy still needs you to lead! How can you possibly—"

Fan Yu took a deep breath and calmed himself before denying, "How is that possible? Elder Mu, you're clearly very healthy; how can your time already be up?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Yu's eyes showed surprise, and he thought to himself, "So, Elder Mu's time is nearly upon us! No wonder he made a point of having all the students of Shrek leave!"

After all, if this news were to spread, it could impact the status of Shrek Academy and even stir the terrifying creatures of the Aquipeia Forest...

It was not a pleasant thought!

Elder Mu shook his head and sighed, "I've lived for almost two hundred years! In fact, I should have left this world long ago; it's just my deep attachment to Shrek Academy that has kept me going until now!"

Xuan Zi's eyes were tinged red as he said, "Elder Mu..."

Yan Shaozhe's eyes brimmed with tears, "Elder Mu, you..."

Elder Mu said calmly, "There's no need to say more. To witness one of our academy's youths find a partner before passing away is enough to leave me content."

He immediately changed his tone and spoke solemnly, "Taking advantage of the present, I hereby announce that Xuan Zi will serve as the next Pavilion Master of Sea God's Pavilion!"

With reddened eyes, Xuan Zi shook his head and said, "Elder Mu, I'm still not competent enough to take up the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master…"

Elder Mu's words cut him off, his turbid eyes fixed on Xuan Zi before him, his tone complex, "Xuan Zi, among the members of Sea God's Pavilion, the person I trust and believe in the most is you. Both in character and in strength, you are the most suitable candidate to succeed as the Pavilion Master of Sea God's Pavilion."

Elder Xuan said urgently, "Elder Mu... I"

Elder Mu glared at him, coldly saying, "Enough, do you really want me to be unable to rest in peace even after death?"

Xuan Zi was speechless, nodding, "I understand…"

…

With eyes brimming red, Xuan Zi released his Martial Soul, Taotie God Ox!

A terrifying, hundred-meter oxen creature appeared behind him…

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Patch Heaven!"

After that, the massive Taotie God Ox let out a bellow, opened its huge mouth, and burst forth with a pitch-black swallowing force, engulfing Elder Mu and Elder Qian Yu in front of it and drawing them into another space…

As he watched Elder Mu being swallowed by his Martial Soul, Elder Xuan's eyes shed several clear tears, "Elder Mu…"

…

Elder Qian Yu and Elder Mu's figures slowly reappeared, but in their eyes, there was nothing but void and darkness…

Elder Qian Yu narrowed his eyes, "So this is the Taotie God Ox's other space?"

Moreover, the swallowing force just now did not harm Elder Mu or himself, it seems this swallowing ability simply exiles the opponent after engulfing them!

The next moment, Elder Mu closed his eyes and covered his arms and legs with his Soul Power. In an instant, his body erupted with intense golden light…

As time passed, six colorfully glowing soul bones emerged from within his body…

Elder Qian Yu's pupils shrank, exclaiming, "These are six soul bones!!"

To forcibly extract soul bones that had already integrated into the body, how much pain must Elder Mu endure??

Elder Mu's lips bled as he calmly said, "Yes, these are all the soul bones absorbed in my body. I hope that after my death, you can hand these soul bones over to Yuhao and Wang Dong!"

Elder Qian Yu narrowed his eyes, "Elder Mu, do you trust me that much?"

Elder Mu did not speak again, but with a wave of his hand, the six glowing soul bones flew towards Elder Qian Yu…

As Elder Qian Yu gazed at the soul bones floating before him, he collected them into his storage soul tool...

Seeing Elder Qian Yu accept them, a relieved smile appeared on Elder Mu's face, "Elder Qian Yu, proceed!"

Elder Qian Yu gazed deeply at him, then released his Martial Soul, Goddess of Light!

Behind him, the figure of a deity shining with holy light gradually took shape, her mesmerizing face almost toxic in its allure…

Then, nine golden million-year soul rings rose at his feet…

Looking up at the Goddess of Light, Elder Mu exclaimed, "She really is as beautiful as the Goddess of Light Butterfly…"

"Goodbye, Elder Mu!"

With those words, the eighth soul ring at his feet lit up!

The eighth soul skill, Purification of the Goddess of Light!

The Goddess of Light burst forth with a dazzling multicolored light…

The entire pitch-black space was illuminated in gold, and then, the multicolored light swirling above all converged onto Elder Mu…

Subsequently, the multicolored light erupted with heaven-shattering power, completely enveloping Elder Mu's body...

In his heart, Elder Mu silently said, "Goodbye, Shrek Academy"
