The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 79 Xue Qinghe's Summoning

The location of the Bone Dragon Dagger is essentially a spatial teleportation endpoint.

By simply consuming soul power to create a spatial teleportation starting point, the starting point and the destination can be connected, thus completing instant teleportation.

The instantaneous teleportation distance is only five miles. Since the starting point for the teleportation is created, the soul power consumed is not as large as one might imagine.

Xia Liang had tested it; with his previous level 36 soul power, creating a spatial teleportation device connected to the Bone Dragon Dagger would consume half of his soul power.

In other words, at its current maximum capacity, it can use spatial teleportation that covers a distance of five miles at least twice.

The carcass of a skeletal dragon that is over ten meters long can be broken down into a considerable number of bones.

Processing bones into knives can not only be used as teleportation points, but also have a certain degree of lethality.

So far, only five bone dragon daggers have been crafted. If one person were to craft all the remaining bone dragon bones into daggers, it would require a great deal of time and effort.

Therefore, Xia Liangcai thought of upgrading Gastly to Haunter.

Gastly has a pair of claws that can work like human hands.

Summon a large number of Haunters, and you can use the remaining Bone Dragon bones to process them into Bone Dragon Daggers.

Afterwards, whenever you pass through a dangerous place, you should place multiple bone dragon daggers in a hidden spot and pay attention to the consumption of your own soul power. In this way, even if the enemy wants to kill you within a radius of five miles, they will not be able to find you.

With the Bone Dragon Dagger, the survival rate will be greatly increased when facing any kind of desperate situation.

"Master Xia, are you in there?" Qin Ming's voice suddenly rang out from inside the cave. "The three education committee members want you to come to the dean's building. It is said that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."

After planting the Bone Dragon Dagger in a hidden corner of the rock wall, Xia Liang left the cave and followed Qin Ming to the Dean's Building.

Dean's Office.

After the meeting, the three education committee members and Prince Xuexing left.

Qin Ming led Xia Liang to the office door, brushing past the crowd.

It is said that this time the Crown Prince summoned him alone.

Upon entering the office, Xia Liang found Xue Qinghe reviewing some documents behind his desk, looking quite busy.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince," Xia Liang said, closing the door behind him.

Upon hearing the sound, Xue Qinghe looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. After a moment of thought, he remembered that Chef Xia from the academy kitchen had returned to his previous appearance and physical condition.

The black-haired young man in front of me, who was neither fat nor thin, with delicate features and looked to be only about twenty years old, was none other than Chef Xia, the academy's top-level chef whom I had met before.

After Master Xia's appearance was restored, his image and temperament changed so much?

Xue Qinghe seemed to understand somewhat. No wonder the gossip was spreading like wildfire in the academy, yet Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, didn't come forward to clarify. It turned out she was just attracted to his good looks.

"Brother Xia, don't be so formal, please have a seat."

As she spoke, Xue Qinghe stretched out her hand toward the seat opposite her.

"Your Highness, is there something you need?" Xia Liang asked as he sat down.

"The three education commissioners have already reported the situation to me. Congratulations, Brother Xia, you are now a Soul Master."

Xue Qinghe put the documents in his hand aside, looked at Xia Liang and asked, "After becoming a Soul Master, have you experienced any abnormalities in your body? You absorbed the third Soul Ring of five thousand years."

Xia Liang met Xue Qinghe's gaze and smiled politely, "It's alright. Being able to successfully absorb the soul ring means my body is fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"From now on, you can just call me Brother Xue," Xue Qinghe said. "You're not even fourteen years old yet. Calling me 'Brother' shouldn't feel like you're at a disadvantage, right?"

Xia Liang shook his head. "I won't lose out, Brother Xue."

"I summoned you alone this time because you submitted an application to the three education commissioners for an external training program."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xue Qinghe got straight to the point, "Brother Xia, could you tell me where you're going to train next?"

"Is the academy going to send someone to protect my safety secretly?" Xia Liang asked back.

"I'm sorry, the faculty probably don't have that kind of time. I was just asking out of curiosity. If it's not convenient to disclose, then let's end this topic here."

Xue Qinghe smiled and said, "Brother Xia, since you are enrolled in the school, you have the right to go out for training, and you don't need permission to apply. Since you are going out for training, let me give you something."

As he spoke, Xue Qinghe took out a gold medal from his pocket and handed it over.

The gold medal has a simple design, but it contains a special energy flow and is engraved with the character "天" (heaven).

Xia Liang accepted the gold medal and stared at Xue Qinghe with a puzzled expression.

"This plaque is a symbol of the Crown Prince's status. Carrying it when you're out and about can save you some trouble with powerful figures and their conflicts."

At this point, Xue Qinghe reminded him, "With this gold medal, you can come to the palace to see me anytime. Brother Xia, don't forget our previous agreement; I'm still waiting for you to show off your skills in the palace kitchen."

"Very well, thank you for the gift, Your Highness." Xia Liang put the gold medal into his silver bracelet.

A hint of reproach flashed in Xue Qinghe's eyes. "What did I just tell you?"

"Thank you for the gift, Brother Xie Xue," Xia Liang changed his address.

Xue Qinghe nodded in satisfaction. "We can visit each other more often in the future to strengthen our relationship. When you acquire your fourth spirit ring, remember to discuss it with the academy. Given the previous experience, I'm really afraid you'll rashly absorb a ten-thousand-year fourth spirit ring."

Xia Liang smiled tactfully but did not reply.

"Alright. The matter is settled. I won't keep you any longer. Be careful wherever you go."

As she spoke, Xue Qinghe picked up the documents placed aside and continued to review them.

Xia Liang walked out of the office and closed the door. He could roughly guess why Xue Qinghe had suddenly summoned him.

It's estimated that he gained Xue Qinghe's attention because he was able to successfully absorb the third soul ring, which was five thousand years old.

After all, even if Xue Qinghe's other identity is Qian Renxue, his fourth soul ring might not be more than five thousand years old, right?

Now, if someone encounters an unconventional genius who breaks with the norm, they will definitely want to win him over so that they have another pawn to use in the future.

Xia Liang felt that once he returned from his trip, he could indeed visit the palace to further his relationship with Xue Qinghe.

On the surface, he has Dugu Bo backing him up, but in secret he is on good terms with Xue Qinghe. One is a guest minister of the empire, and the other is the crown prince of the empire, so there is no conflict between them.

Two days later.

Tian Dou City, Dugu Mansion.

Inside the lobby.

Since she hadn't seen Xia Liang in the cave simulation field for two days, the only thing Dugu Yan could think of was going home to ask her grandfather about the situation.

After hearing the story of accompanying Xia Liang to Xingluo City on business, Dugu Yan asked with some concern, "Grandpa, after Xia Liang arrives in Xingluo City, will he come back to the academy?"

"What, are you scared now? Weren't you quite reserved the night before last?"

Dugu Bo said with a hint of reproach, "If you had listened to Grandpa back then and made it a done deal, he would have been yours long ago."

"Who told you to bring him back so suddenly?" Dugu Yan asked helplessly. "I wasn't prepared at all. How was I supposed to force the issue?"

"Sigh. Let's not talk about the past." Dugu Bo patted Dugu Yan's shoulder. "Yan Yan, just stay at the academy and wait for him to come back."

"Will Xia Liang return to the academy?" Dugu Yan asked again.

Dugu Bo nodded. "That kid went to Xingluo City to learn about herbal medicine so he can find a way to resolve the snake venom backlash problem in you as soon as possible."

A strange light flickered in Dugu Yan's eyes. "Was it for me?"

"Otherwise what? Why do you think Grandpa insisted on bringing you two together? It's because Grandpa has seen everything he's done for you. Isn't he proving it with his actions now?"

At this point, Dugu Bo gave a reminder, "Yanyan, if you don't make your move when that kid comes back, don't blame them if someone else steals him!"

After hearing these words, Dugu Yan placed her left hand on her breast, looked up into the distance, and a hint of sadness flashed in her green eyes.

It was only after they parted ways and she couldn't find anyone that Dugu Yan realized she had a feeling of losing something, and her heart ached.
