Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 63 The Soul Bone of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Medusa (Part 2)

As dawn broke and the veil of night was lifted, revealing a brilliant sunrise, Ling Bai returned to Shrek Academy in the morning light. As soon as he entered the school gate, he saw a familiar face.

The woman had a slender and graceful figure, with a pair of beautiful emerald green eyes that were both charming and alluring, and every frown and smile exuded charm.

Bilin Snake, Dugu Lin.

"What a coincidence."

Ling Bai greeted Dugu Lin, who walked over and chuckled, replying, "Only seven days have passed, and you've already captured the ten-thousand-year-old Medusa?"

"Hmm, how did your operation to eliminate the wolf bandits go?"

"They're just a bunch of low-class rabble, not worthy of respect, but their actions..."

Dugu Lin's words abruptly stopped, her emerald green eyes showing signs of turning into vertical pupils, revealing a hint of danger.

She traveled day and night, but she was still too late. The wolf bandits had slaughtered several villages in the Douling Empire, killing all the men to feed them, and leaving the women to be raped and abused at will.

Although she had killed all the wolf bandits to avenge the innocent civilians, Dugu Lin's hatred for the wolf bandits had not diminished in the slightest.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Once you've done what you should have done, there's no need to be too hard on yourself."

Ling Bai offered words of comfort, and the two of them crossed the Sea God Lake together to the Assessment Hall to submit their new student missions.

A hunched figure emerged from the depths of the examination hall; it was none other than Old Man Li, whose face bore a hideous scar.

"Why are you back, kid?"

Upon seeing Ling Bai, Elder Li was momentarily stunned before blurting out, "Does he intend to give up the Red-level mission and drop out of school to go home?"

Ling Bai's lips twitched. "You old fool, can't you guess something a little better?"

This is when the difference in quality between people becomes apparent. Look at Dugu Lin, she just tacitly acknowledged that he had completed the red-level mission!

Dugu Linli stood aside, secretly mocking him. After questioning Ling Bai, Elder Li turned his gaze to her and asked, "And you?"

Dugu Lin suppressed her smile and threw a dark, round object from her storage soul tool, which rolled twice on the ground and came to a stop.

A hideous, bluish-black wolf head, its eyes gouged out, gaping open and staring blankly at the sky, with large amounts of scarlet blood remaining around its eye sockets. Clearly, this wolf bandit had suffered inhuman torture before its death, and its death was extremely gruesome.

"You're pretty ruthless."

Ling Bai verbally expressed his admiration for Dugu Lin's ruthlessness, but his actions betrayed his true feelings by giving her a thumbs-up.

Wolf bandits, like evil soul masters who indiscriminately kill innocent people, should not exist in the Douluo Continent.

Elder Li released a burst of soul power, sensing the remaining soul power fluctuations from the wolf bandit's head. He nodded in satisfaction: "It is indeed the Soul Master-level wolf bandit leader. You have passed your assessment!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Dugu Lin clenched her fist tightly, and the wolf bandit's head exploded into dust that scattered in the wind. After doing all this, she took light steps and slowly retreated to Ling Bai's side.

Facts speak louder than words. Ling Bai was too lazy to play the classic trick of showing off and slapping the old man in the face, so he took out the dying Medusa.

"no……"

Dugu Lin pointed to the almost unrecognizable black object, her face full of strangeness, and said, "What makes you think I'm ruthless?!"

Old Li agreed wholeheartedly. The Medusa before him had none of the unparalleled aura of the Queen of Snakes. Her body and arms were gone, her snake tail was severed at the root, her snake hair was nowhere to be seen, and her head was bald like a black braised egg. Her snake scales were in ruins, and her breathing was faint, as if she would take her last breath at any moment!

"The wolf bandits have committed countless atrocities and deserve to be tortured. Medusa...did she whip your ass with her tail?"

Dugu Lin asked suspiciously, "Soul masters generally don't torture soul beasts unless there are special reasons."

Upon hearing this, Ling Bai's temples throbbed: "Knowing too much won't do you any good."

The Death Prison Spider King contains the evil power of Rakshasa. Now that Ilex is in charge of the Sea of ​​Spirit, Ling Bai will not lose control and become an evil soul master. However, the evil power will amplify the violent emotions in his heart, which is why the Underworld Emperor Demon Luo and Medusa met tragic ends.

After carefully verifying the true form of the ten-thousand-year-old Medusa, Elder Li's eyes blazed with unparalleled fervor as he looked at Ling Bai. The red-level mission far exceeded the strength limits of the inner academy's freshmen. Countless geniuses of Shrek Academy over the past ten thousand years had never completed it. Today, a true monster had finally appeared!

"I remember your name is Ling Bai, right? Okay...okay...okay, you're very good!"

With a trembling, aged voice, Old Li uttered four "good"s in a row.

"The Shrek Academy's ancestral precepts state that anyone who passes a Red-level mission, regardless of talent or background, will be nurtured by the academy as a potential member of the next Sea God Pavilion! Ling Bai, your luck is truly at its peak!"

Having said that, Elder Li disregarded the two of them and hurriedly transformed into a streak of light, soaring into the sky. He was probably going to find the elders of the Sea God Pavilion to report the situation, leaving Ling Bai and Dugu Lin staring at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Dugu Lin brushed a strand of hair from her temple, tucked it behind her ear, and said with a smile, "The academy lets the students dispose of the mission spoils as they see fit. It looks like Medusa won't live much longer. What are you planning to do with them?"

Ling Bai said calmly, "Just bury it."

The Death Prison Spider King's poison will corrode Medusa into a pool of poisonous water tomorrow. Otherwise, she can still be sold at an auction house to squeeze out her remaining value. There will definitely be a group of snake soul masters vying to bid for the Ten Thousand Year Serpent King.

No problem, a mere hundred or two hundred thousand gold soul coins, Ling Bai has plenty of money!

"What a waste!"

Dugu Lin was heartbroken. Her delicate body leaned forward slightly, revealing her alluring curves, and she spoke in a tone that suggested she wanted to tell him a little secret:

"How about I help you take care of it?"

Seeing the woman only a fist's distance away, Ling Bai remained unmoved and sneered, "Fifth Soul Ring?"

"Hehe, you know!"

"When we were drawing lots, you said you were really looking forward to me capturing Medusa alive. You were already having some wicked ideas pretty early on."

With her secret thoughts laid bare, Dugu Lin blushed for a moment, then immediately clasped her hands together and said, "I just broke through to level 50 in soul power and desperately need a fifth soul ring. You know, no snake soul master in the Douluo Continent can refuse a Medusa soul ring!"

"Don't try to get something for nothing; show some sincerity."

"Can I kiss you?" Dugu Lin asked eagerly.

"No need, thank you."

Ling Bai's face clearly said, "Woman, don't push your luck," and he sighed, "You'll have to do an experiment with me."

Dugu Lin was immediately disappointed, but still asked, "Meat or vegetarian?"

"Vegan!"

Ling Bai clutched his forehead, letting out a painful groan: "Now you've dissected Medusa!"

"this one?"

Dugu Lin was completely baffled. Seeing that Ling Bai had no intention of explaining, she squatted down and used a sharp knife to cut open Medusa's chest and head.

"Huh?"

Dugu Lin suddenly made a discovery: there was a strange triangular bone inside Medusa's skull!

His skeleton resembled a miniature snake skull, pure white in color, with two pale white flames burning within his pupils, and wisps of soul power constantly leaking out along with his spiritual energy.

"This is... the head and soul bone of a ten-thousand-year-old Medusa!"
