Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 211 The Scoundrel's Little Idea

Bai Yu chuckled softly, leaned back, and said to them in a slightly languid manner:

"Hehe, the reward you mentioned earlier might actually come this time, but you'll have to work hard."

"Because the competition is being held in Wuhun City for the first time, the Wuhun Hall has spared no expense on the rewards in order to save face."

"The first place winner has seven soul bones that are over ten thousand years old, a complete set; the second place winner has three; and the third place winner has one."

"Although the first place is reserved for our own people, the second and third places are not just for show. They still have something to offer. Moreover, the Spirit Hall only has one team participating in the competition, so your chances are not small."

"Hi~!"

After Bai Yu finished speaking, everyone gasped in astonishment, their mouths agape. Not only was the first reward not mentioned, but the second and third rewards also included soul bones.
Moreover, there are a total of four pieces, and they are all ancient. This is not just going all out, it's practically putting the bone marrow into them!
"Young man, are you serious? The Spirit Hall really rewards spirit bones?"

"But even if a soul bone is awarded, shouldn't it only go to the first place winner? Like you said, the Spirit Hall only has one team participating, so wouldn't the second and third place winners all go to others?"

After his initial surprise, Flander immediately asked, because in his opinion, the reward was a bit too fake. Even if the Spirit Hall was a large and powerful organization, it wouldn't be so desperate as to give away spirit bones to outsiders, would it?

Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes. To be honest, this reward was something he and Bibi Dong decided on together after discussing it.

"Yes, Dean, you're right. This reward was indeed specially given to outsiders by the Spirit Hall."

"Specifically, there are two reasons. First, the Spirit Hall team has too much of a gap in strength, so it would be a bit embarrassing to give the reward only to the first place."

"Because once the information of the Spirit Hall team is released, for other academy teams, this so-called reward is just a joke, which will not only not please them but also make them hateful."

"The second reason is that the Spirit Hall also has a celebration recently, and releasing these rewards is also to make Spirit City more lively."

Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, everyone's faces showed a look of realization.

"I see. Hehe, if that's the case, then the Spirit Hall's team being too strong does have some advantages."

"Little monsters, did you hear that? We can't even dream of first place, but we have to do everything we can to get second place!"

As soon as Flander finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang nodded and took over the conversation. Surprisingly, he didn't use his usual hoarse voice and instead spoke in a serious tone:

“Flander is right. Soul bones are treasures of the Blood River! If you miss this opportunity, you'll only be able to get them by luck in the future.”

The crowd was breathing heavily, their eyes slightly red. The allure of the soul bone was simply too great. Even if they didn't use it themselves, the money they could get from selling it would be enough to provide them with a life of wealth and luxury.

Tang San's expression kept changing, turning from pale to red. Soul bones were indeed valuable, but he didn't know if he would have a chance to get one.

After all, even if they get second place, there are only three pieces of this stuff, but their Shrek team has a full eleven members. How can that be enough to go around?

Even if you throw out the four substitutes, there are still seven people left. Among these seven, Tang San is only slightly stronger than Oscar and Ma Hongjun.

So no matter how you look at it, the soul bone can't be given to him. How can the self-important Tang San accept this?
Tang San's eyes darkened immediately, and he muttered to himself:
"That damned Yu Xiaogang is right. Soul bones are rare treasures. Once we miss this opportunity, we will never encounter one again."

"I wonder how these soul bones will be distributed. If they all end up in the hands of Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, that's fine. With Bai Yu around, I can't afford to offend them." "But if someone else gets them, I might have to resort to some means..."

It's just that Bai Yu didn't know what Tang San was thinking, otherwise he would definitely be laughing so hard he'd be bent over.

To be honest, Tang San's vision has become rather limited these days; the mere existence of a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone has already driven him somewhat mad.

But to be honest, even if Shrek Academy won the Soul Bone, Bai Yu didn't plan to let Zhu Zhuqing and the other two use it, because he really didn't think it was worth it because of its age limit.

Bai Yu had already made arrangements for his women, preparing a set of soul bones over 50,000 years old for each of them. They were just waiting for them to break through their titles so they could use these soul bones to reach the level of a Super Douluo in one fell swoop.

……

A group of over a thousand people set off from Tiandou City and, after nearly twenty days, finally arrived at Wuhun City.

"Tsk, we've finally arrived. This carriage ride was so boring. Wow, there are quite a few people here. Such a lively scene is a rare sight in Wuhun City."

Bai Yu got out of the car, stretched, and looked at the bustling Spirit City before him, which was now incredibly lively because of the Spirit Master Competition, and sighed.

"Brother Bai, was there really not many people in Wuhun City before? That can't be right. This place is known as the holy land of soul masters, how could there be so few people?"

Oscar, who got out of the car behind Bai Yu, asked with some confusion.

"It's because it's a holy land for Soul Masters that there aren't many people here. After all, apart from caravans, no ordinary people come here. Those who come here are mostly Soul Masters."

Before Bai Yu could answer, Yu Xiaogang, who got off the bus afterward, gave Oscar the answer. After all, he had been here for quite some time and knew the place very well.

Bai Yu ignored Yu Xiaogang's boasting, turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, and said:
"Let's go, while we still have time, I'll show you around."

The four then broke away from Shrek's group and headed into the city.

"White Fish, where should we go? How about we take a stroll around your Holy Son's Palace?"

"Besides, Sister Yin set off with Spirit Iris Douluo ahead of time, so she should have arrived a while ago. Is she with you too? We can invite her to come along!"

Ning Rongrong hugged Bai Yu's arm, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. This was her first time in Wuhun City, and everything here was new and exciting to her.

Moreover, according to her father Ning Fengzhi, there are various palaces and pavilions on the central mountain of Wuhun City, which are solemn, majestic and quite impressive.

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ning Rongrong, and chuckled as she said:
"Are you going to see your sister Ah Yin? That sounds nice, but you probably just want to visit the Spirit Hall's sacred mountain."

"That's fine too. Ah Yin is quite familiar with this place, so it would be good to have her show you around."

"To be honest, there are only a few palaces on the mountain. They're alright the first time you see them, but after a while they're just the same old thing and not very interesting."

Zhu Zhuqing and the other two curled their lips. This dog has gotten used to it, so he doesn't find it interesting anymore. Does he know how difficult it is for Soul Masters outside to climb the Holy Mountain of Spirit City?
