After packing everything into his soul guide, Han Yu looked at Tianyue again.

"Yu'er, I'll take these soul bones back and use them as rewards for the teachers and students at the academy. You mustn't embezzle them." Han Yu extended his hand.

Tianyue reluctantly handed over the soul bones, but soon, holding one up, she said, "Teacher Han, didn't you say I could choose any one? Then this soul bone is mine."

Han Yu looked closely, and the system displayed the soul bone's information in his mind.

"A hundred-thousand-year-old golden dragon turtle trunk bone, Yue'er, you have a very sharp eye."

Han Yu snatched the soul bone from her hand. "However, I can't give it to you now. This soul bone will be your reward after the Soul Master Competition. I'll give you this seventy-thousand-year-old Black Pond Water Crocodile right arm bone."

"Teacher, you lied. You clearly said I could choose any one." Tianyue sobbed a few times, tears welling in her eyes.

Han Yu smiled and said, "If you perform well enough in the Soul Master Competition, the 100,000-year soul bone will still be yours. This 70,000-year soul bone is yours for free. Aren't you satisfied?"

"Hmph, besides the soul bone, give me that soul guide with the crocodile mark," Tianyue said fiercely.

Han Yu said nothing more, and with a wave of his hand, both the soul bone and the soul guide fell into Tianyue's hands.

"I'll give you the soul guide. As for what happened today, just pretend you don't know. Don't tell anyone, not even Lingling and the others."

This kind of thing shouldn't be discussed.

If the outside world knew that he had over a hundred soul bones, people like Ning Fengzhi and Yu Xiaogang would definitely attack him, assuming they were working for the benefit of the soul master world.

Tianyue nodded seriously.

Having lived in the Spirit Hall since childhood, she naturally understood the importance of confidentiality.

"I, the dean, won't keep all these resources to myself. As for the items used for cultivation, I'll put them all in the academy's resource library. As long as you perform well enough, you can enjoy them too."

"Hehe, dean, please protect me while I absorb a spirit bone," Tianyue said with a smile, revealing her bright white teeth.

...

The final match of the academy exchange competition concluded, and the results of the five teams were announced.

Canaan took first place with four wins.

Shenfeng Academy, Chihuo Academy, and Tianshui Academy all had two wins, tied for second.

Leiting Academy, winless, was last.

"This is hilarious! When did Leiting Academy, one of the five elemental academies, become so weak?" The students watching the match began to discuss.

Some said Leiting Academy had weakened this time, while others said the other academies were too strong. In short, the reasons were all sorts.

"It's a pity that Yue'er isn't here, or she could have enjoyed the applause today," Lingxiao said with a hint of regret.

Little did they know that Tianyue had absorbed a 70,000-year-old spirit bone.

"There's no prize, and most people in this competition aren't using their full strength." Ye Lingling looked at Dugu Yan. "Sister Yanzi, your opponents are clearly wary of you. I'm afraid they'll find a way to counter you at the Soul Master Competition."

Dugu Yan's poison is so potent that many academies have placed her on their priority watchlists.

As her attacks increase in frequency, many are pondering day and night, hoping to find a way to counter her sooner or later.

Besides, even Dugu Bo isn't invincible. There are plenty of people who can restrain him.

Dugu Yan smiled faintly, "Lingling, I still have you guys. If all else fails, I still have the soul skills my teacher taught me. At worst, I can use my poison to assist you. My first two soul skills already have a supporting effect." "

I think if everyone focuses on the captain, the pressure on the rest of us will be less," Zhang Zhenyu said with a chuckle.

A support-type spirit master's biggest fear is being targeted by the enemy. Now with Dugu Yan standing in front, he's a lot safer in the spirit battle. After all, Dugu Yan poses the greatest threat to them. Eliminating her will make things easier.

"That's right," Ye Lingling said with a smile.

"You guys are such idiots. Do you really need to insult me like that? Otherwise, I'll just follow my teacher's advice and self-destruct at the start," Dugu Yan scolded with a smile.

"Hahaha."

In the dark, Yu Xiaogang watched them intently.

"Just laugh, a bunch of ignorant brats who've exposed all their spirit skills."

Yu Xiaogang believed that with his intelligence, the Shrek team would surely win against the Canaan team.

...

Inside Canaan Academy.

Han Yu first congratulated Ye Lingling and the others, then called Dugu Bo to his office.

"Little monster, all the herbs I planted in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire have been stolen! And there are even traces of Titled Douluo battles in the forest. What's going on?" Dugu Bo said hurriedly.

While those herbs weren't his entire fortune, their disappearance would be a significant delay for him.

Han Yu said, "As for the herbs, if you need them, you can go to the academy's warehouse. As for those battle traces, they show that I clashed with Tang Hao."

"Tang Hao?" Dugu Bo's face was solemn, but seeing that Han Yu was uninjured and appeared relaxed, he couldn't help but wonder about Tang Hao's strength.

Han Yu had never fought him before, so he didn't know his true strength. He estimated that he was likely on par with him.

"Tang Hao was injured and didn't dare to engage me in a prolonged battle. He took advantage of the gap in our soul attack to escape," Han Yu said with a hint of regret.

Dugu Bo curled his lips. "The Haotian Sect's reputation wasn't great to begin with. If it weren't for the Spirit Hall's suppression, who knows how many people on the continent would have been slaughtered by them. Don't worry, little monster. When I meet him, I'll definitely seek justice."

"Let's not talk about this for now. I called you here for something else."

Dugu Bo's strength wasn't enough to challenge Tang Hao, and Han Yu didn't want her to die.

As he spoke, he pushed the brocade box beside him toward Dugu Bo.

"Every effort has its rewards. Old monster, I've seen your contributions to the academy these days. I promised you a place to retire here, but now I'm sending you out to work. This box is your compensation."

"This kind of box." Dugu Bo quickly opened it.

A 70,000-year-old Seven-Colored Nether Python's torso appeared before him.

"Little monster, this..."

"Old monster, we're on good terms. I was planning on letting you retire here, but now it seems you'll have to work for a while," Han Yu said with a smile.

Dugu Bolang smiled and said, "Since this soul bone comes from a snake-like soul beast, I will gladly accept it. Little monster, if you have anything to ask, just tell me."

The allure of soul bone was so strong that even a Titled Douluo could not resist.

Han Yu, who knew Dugu Bo's character well, quickly added, "Old monster, absorb this soul bone yourself. As for your granddaughter, there will be better ones in the future. Don't waste the space on your soul bone."
