Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 289 Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, Dark Dragon Dagger
Looking at Zhou Sichen's expectant expression, Long Xiaoyao finally sighed inwardly, "Fine, let's just consider it repaying Mu En's favor."

"You're not that old, but you've got quite the nerve," Long Xiaoyao said with a laugh. "But since you want it, I do have a treasured piece here."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen raised an eyebrow. Could it really be true?
If Long Xiaoyao really offers a 100,000-year-old soul bone as a gift, then calling him Uncle Long is definitely worthwhile.

Zhou Sichen looked on with great anticipation, her big eyes fixed on Long Xiaoyao.

Under Zhou Sichen's gaze, Long Xiaoyao coughed, took out a brocade box from his soul tool, and handed it to Zhou Sichen.

"This is a 100,000-year-old divine light left leg soul bone, which I obtained by chance over the years. Originally, this soul bone was meant for your Aunt Ye, but... since I can't find her now, giving it to you is just as good."

Hearing this, Zhou Sichen smiled slightly. It wasn't that he couldn't find Ye Xishui; it was probably that Ye Xishui already had six soul bones fully equipped and couldn't absorb any more.

Furthermore, Ye Xishui's Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul has already mutated, and she now primarily cultivates the Blood Soul Demon Puppet Martial Soul. Even if she were given a Radiant attribute Soul Bone, she probably wouldn't be able to absorb it.

Zhou Sichen took Jinhe with an excited expression: "Uncle Long, this is a 100,000-year-old soul bone! You really want it?"

Zhou Sichen held the brocade box and asked, feigning surprise.

Long Xiaoyao nodded: "Your Uncle Long always keeps his word, and you yourself possess the Holy Dragon Martial Soul of Light, so this soul bone with the attribute of light is a perfect match for you."

"Even with Moon, it's unlikely that there are many soul bones that can compare to this Divine Light Left Leg Bone."

Zhou Sichen chuckled: "Thank you, Uncle Long. If you're talking about getting a soul bone in exchange for a fight, then I'll come to spar with you every day from now on."

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao's face darkened immediately: "Do you think soul bones are as common as cabbage? I'm happy for you to come to me every day, but there's only one soul bone available."

Zhou Sichen was just joking. Hearing this, he put away the brocade box and smiled, "Hehe, since Uncle Long has said so, then Sichen will come to bother you whenever he wants in the future."

Long Xiaoyao thought for a moment, and Zhou Sichen's soul power surged, condensing into a dark dragon dagger that was completely black.

The moment the Dark Dragon Dagger appeared, Zhou Sichen felt the terrifying power it contained.

If this endless dark power were to erupt directly, even a powerful expert at the Title Douluo level would probably tremble.

Long Xiaoyao handed the Dark Dragon Dagger to Zhou Sichen: "Keep this dagger. If you want to see me, or if you encounter danger, just inject your Holy Dragon Aura into it."

“As long as I’m still in Mingdu, I can come to see you anytime. It’s also a way of protecting your safety in Mingdu on behalf of your father.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen accepted the Dark Dragon Dagger without any hesitation.

Isn't this just a perfect bodyguard summoner? A level 99 Dragon Emperor Douluo can be summoned at any time. This should be Ye Xishui's standard equipment, right?

Unexpectedly, by pretending to be the teacher's son, and thanks to his talent and Long Xiaoyao's guilt towards the teacher, he also received this treatment.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "Thank you, Uncle Long. You are such a kind person. No wonder my father always speaks highly of you. I never thought I would experience your kindness myself."

"He who takes a man's money is bound to do his bidding," Zhou Sichen said, praising Long Xiaoyao without blushing at all, since he had no loss to himself.

Under Zhou Sichen's "heartfelt" sweet talk, Long Xiaoyao's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly, clearly indicating that he was quite pleased.

Long Xiaoyao added, "In addition, this dagger contains my strongest attack, or can launch three attacks comparable to a Super Douluo. As long as you inject the power of light according to a specific soul power circulation route, you can activate it."

Then, Long Xiaoyao told Zhou Sichen how to activate the power of the Dark Dragon Dagger.

This surprised Zhou Sichen. It was a soul bone, it could be summoned at any time, and now this dagger actually possessed such terrifying power?

Although Long Xiaoyao spoke simply, Zhou Sichen was perfectly aware of the value of this Dark Dragon Dagger.

The fact that it can unleash an effect comparable to a full-force attack from a Limit Douluo requires Long Xiaoyao to inject his martial soul essence.

Losing one's martial soul origin comes at a considerable cost. Even if this loss can be replenished, it still requires a significant amount of time or valuable items.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be more powerful than any soul tool if Limit Douluo simply mass-produced similar treasures that contained the full force of their own power?
Even with a level nine soul tool, how many single-target attacks can rival the full-force strike of a Limit Douluo?
Zhou Sichen was quite surprised that Long Xiaoyao was willing to expend his martial soul essence to give himself a life-saving talisman.

It seems the other person feels far more guilty towards the teacher and more fond of themselves than one might imagine.

Zhou Sichen's acting skills exploded instantly, tears welling up in her eyes: "Uncle Long, this gift is too precious, I..."

Seeing Zhou Sichen's eyes instantly redden, Long Xiaoyao was deeply moved.

It seems that Zhou Sichen not only knows the value of the Dark Dragon Dagger, but also feels sorry for himself for not hesitating to consume the power of his martial soul origin to leave him a life-saving talisman.

Long Xiaoyao smiled calmly: "Didn't you say that Uncle Long hasn't returned to Shrek Academy to see your father for a hundred years? This can be considered as an apology to him."

Zhou Sichen feigned a sob: "Uncle Long, but what you consumed was the essence of your martial spirit, this..."

Long Xiaoyao smiled calmly: "My body is stronger than your father's. It's nothing to consume a little martial soul essence. It's better to use mine than to consume your father's."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen silently took out a brilliant golden dragon dagger from his soul tool.

Why was Zhou Sichen so clear about the value of the Dark Dragon Dagger?
There was no other reason than that Mu En had given Zhou Sichen a Radiant Dragon Dagger before his departure, and the method of use and effect were exactly the same.

If it weren't for Zhou Sichen's drop of Life Gold, Elder Mu might not have been able to expend his own power to condense a Radiant Dragon Dagger to save Zhou Sichen's life.

As for Zhou Sichen, even if he has many trump cards, it doesn't affect his desire to acquire more of these treasures.

Zhou Sichen held a dagger in each hand, one a brilliant gold and the other a dark black dragon dagger, their two daggers complementing each other, causing Long Xiaoyao to raise an eyebrow.

Long Xiaoyao sighed, "It seems your father truly loves you deeply. I know a little about his health, but to go to such lengths for you, he is indeed a good father."

Zhou Sichen put the two dragon daggers back into his soul tool and wiped away his tears: "If I had known that I would meet Uncle Long, and that he was willing to sacrifice his martial soul essence for me, I would never have agreed to my father doing this!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao, who had just been feeling a bit sad, suddenly paused, wondering why these words sounded so strange.

However, considering Mu En's physical condition, Long Xiaoyao didn't say much. Others might not know, but he understood that Mu En's current state was due to the accident he had caused back then.

(I remember the original novel mentioning that before the final battle between Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, Long Xiaoyao deliberately used the poison that would kill him to fight Mu En, and then Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui simply disappeared.)
Long Xiaoyao patted Zhou Sichen on the shoulder and led him back to the teahouse, where the two continued to chat while drinking tea.

Originally, Zhou Sichen was forced to act, but now that he had obtained the 100,000-year-old soul bone and a Dark Dragon Dagger for self-defense, he was incredibly sincere and affectionate, making Long Xiaoyao blush with delight. It wasn't until nightfall that Long Xiaoyao reluctantly parted ways with Zhou Sichen.

As he was leaving, Long Xiaoyao instructed, "Don't let anyone else hear about your meeting with me. I'm busy with other things and don't like trouble."

Zhou Sichen asked, "Not even Father's place?"

Long Xiaoyao nodded: "Tell him when you get back. Consider it a favor from your Uncle Long."

Zhou Sichen thought to himself, "If you're asking for a favor, you should have the right attitude. Your condescending attitude makes me feel like I'm the one asking you for help."

However, having already accepted the gifts, Zhou Sichen wouldn't be so ungrateful: "Since Uncle Long has said so, then Sichen will do as he says."

Long Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "Good child."

Before Zhou Sichen could say anything more, Long Xiaoyao had already transformed into a streak of black light and disappeared, as if he had never existed.

After Long Xiaoyao left, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor went into a frenzy within Zhou Sichen's spiritual sea.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm revealed a lewd smile: "Sichen, you've struck it rich! A 100,000-year-old soul bone, a Dark Dragon Dagger, plus Elder Mu's Light Dragon Dagger, you essentially have two life-saving charms."

Hyotei chimed in, "Adding your other trump cards, as long as you don't court disaster, I can't think of anyone who could possibly harm you now."

Not only did Tianmeng and Bingdi not expect this, but even Zhou Sichen himself didn't expect it.

In the original novel, Long Xiaoyao was quite generous to Huo Yuhao, but he was nowhere near as generous to Zhou Sichen.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Zhou Sichen was Long Xiaoyao's illegitimate son.

Considering how Huo Gua was treated by Long Xiaoyao in the original novel, and then looking at himself, Zhou Sichen wondered if Long Xiaoyao had some other emotional entanglement with his teacher.
Feeling embarrassed to approach Elder Mu, the consequences indirectly fall on oneself?

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued, "Sichen, with this 100,000-year-old soul bone, you can use it to break through to level 60 tomorrow and then absorb the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in the Conferred God Platform."

Hyotei nodded: "It's like someone just delivered a pillow when you're sleepy. Your luck is truly enviable."

Hearing their words, Zhou Sichen shook his head: "Although this soul bone is of the highest quality, I do not intend to absorb it."

Hyotei frowned and said, "You want to leave it to your little girlfriend? This soul bone is indeed more suitable for her, but a 100,000-year soul bone is extremely rare. Have you thought it through?"

Zhou Sichen nodded: "Of course, it would be more suitable for my sister to have this 100,000-year soul bone. After all, my original martial soul only has two soul rings, and I will definitely not lack 100,000-year soul bones in the future."

Tianmeng Bingcan nodded upon hearing this: "That's true, but you're really good to your little girlfriend. I'm envious."

Zhou Sichen chuckled: "I'm not someone who's overflowing with compassion; I'm just trying my best to allocate the resources at my disposal."

As he spoke, Zhou Sichen gave a wicked smile: "Although we are currently in a cooperative relationship with the Star Dou Great Forest, who can be sure that they won't be willing to take a gamble with us?"

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and Ice Emperor exchanged a glance, both sensing Zhou Sichen's ambition.

It turns out that it wasn't that Zhou Sichen looked down on 100,000-year-old soul bones, but rather that he had long been eyeing soul rings and soul bones of ferocious beast level!

Zhou Sichen drank the last sip of tea, slowly stood up, and headed towards the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

However, Zhou Sichen did not return directly to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Instead, after confirming that no one was following him, he left the Mingdu area as quickly as possible.

Arriving in a quiet forest, Zhou Sichen once again used the Book of Contracts Martial Soul. The dark second Soul Ring lit up, and Hellfire, which had been training with the Crimson King in the Star Dou Great Forest for several months, quietly appeared.

Zhou Sichen handed the soul bone given to him by Long Xiaoyao to Hellfire and instructed, "Give this soul bone to your sister, and then you go directly to the Star Dou Great Forest for special training."

After finishing his speech, Zhou Sichen wrote a letter to Ye Guyi and Elder Mu.

The letter to Ye Guyi naturally explained how to go to Sanyuan Island to find Polusali Mian and the others after absorbing the soul bone.

As for the letter to Elder Mu, it naturally explained what happened today.

He believed that even if Elder Mu had any ideas, he would restrain himself and pretend not to know, so as to avoid making things difficult for Zhou Sichen with Long Xiaoyao.

I wonder what Elder Mu will think when he finds out how generous Long Xiaoyao has been to him.

After doing all this and watching Hellfire leave safely, Zhou Sichen quickly returned to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

This unexpected windfall brought Zhou Sichen immense joy.

After returning to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Zhou Sichen went directly to Lin Jiayi's office and handed over the purchased supplies for his review.

Lin Jiayi didn't even look at it: "The hall master has instructed that the weekly material procurement will be handled by you from now on. You can then just hand it over to your classmates."

Zhou Sichen nodded: "Thank you, Director Lin, and thank you, Master Hongchen."

Lin Jiayi waved his hand: "Go ahead and do your work, I won't keep you."

Zhou Sichen nodded and then left Lin Jiayi's office.

After Zhou Sichen left, Lin Jiayi took out an envelope from the drawer and stared at its contents for a long time, unable to calm down.

With that person speaking personally, Zhou Sichen essentially has a protective charm.

However, it's good that nothing unexpected happens to Zhou Sichen, which is what the hall master wants to see.

After all, the Hongchen siblings are also studying at Shrek Academy. Only when the exchange students from both sides are treated equally can the Hongchen siblings receive better treatment.

Lin Jiayi put the envelope away and then went to Jing Hongchen's office.

After dinner, Zhou Sichen went directly to Zhang Lexuan's place with Xu Jiujiu to cultivate.

As for his meeting with Long Xiaoyao today, Zhou Sichen kept his mouth shut, just as he had promised Long Xiaoyao.
