Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 82 Strange Crystals, Out of Control

"Sigh, let's take our time and watch it slowly, there's still plenty of time."

Hun Qing sighed, unrolled the scroll in her hand, and continued to slowly search for things that interested her.

Time passed slowly, and soon the time limit was reached, but Hun Qinghao still hadn't found anything that suited her taste.

Feeling that she couldn't leave empty-handed, she grabbed a ball of light as she left, not caring what was inside, and then went straight back into the spatial passage she had come from.

After leaving the library, Elder Qian and Elder Bai left behind only Hun Qinghao, while the vice dean led the other four away.

Looking at the two gray-robed elders whose faces were veiled, Hun Qinghao showed no nervousness. He blinked and asked calmly, "Why have you two stopped me?"

"Young lady, you are the young master of the Soul Clan, and have seen countless rare and precious treasures. How could a small Canaan Academy possibly be worthy of your condescension?"

The two elders were still somewhat uneasy about the Soul Clan above the Soul Palace, which is why they asked this question.

Hun Qinghao narrowed his eyes slightly. So he was worried about her and thought that she had ulterior motives for coming to Canaan Academy. He was afraid that she would harm Canaan Academy!

Although she did come to Canaan Academy with ulterior motives, the two old men's worries were unnecessary; she wasn't so blind to right and wrong.

Tilting her head and smiling, Hun Qinghao said matter-of-factly, "I came because I wanted to. Why ask so many questions?"

"I always do things as I please, whatever comes to mind. But don't worry, elders, as long as you don't harbor any ill will towards me because of my identity, I will not harm Canaan Academy."

She's not a bloodthirsty madwoman; she doesn't have the inclination to exterminate anyone who doesn't pose a threat to her.

The two elders breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but they weren't completely at ease. They only believed her temporarily because her eyes were clear and she didn't seem to be lying, but they remained wary of her.

After all, the reputation of the Soul Palace speaks for itself, so they have no choice but to be cautious.

Suppressing their guard, the two elders exchanged a glance, one of them looking at Hun Qing with a smile and saying, "Young lady, you have already reached the strength of a Dou Huang at such a young age. I suppose you have gained quite a bit from the library this time."

Hun Qinghao clicked his tongue, not very interested. "It's alright. Your Canaan Academy is indeed well-established, but I'm not interested in those things. I just grabbed one randomly when the time was up."

"This is it, amethyst of unknown material."

As she spoke, Hun Qinghao took out what she had grabbed at the last moment. It was a long, narrow purple crystal, crystal clear, with sharp ends, but she could not sense any energy fluctuations on the crystal.

Even she couldn't tell what the crystal was. She asked her teacher, but the teacher only said he didn't know.

The two elders looked quite surprised when they saw the purple crystal that Hun Qinghao had taken out.

Hun Qing was paying close attention to their expressions, and seeing their expressions, he said, "It seems you know what this thing is."

But the two elders shook their heads, "We never expected that the young lady would grab something like this so casually!"

"But we don't know what this purple crystal is, because the Dean obtained it by chance in an ancient secret realm many years ago when he was traveling across the continent. The Dean tried everything but couldn't get his hands on the crystal, nor did he know its origin, so he put it in the library, waiting for a destined person to possess it!"

"In the past, this crystal never made a sound when each batch of students entered the library. I didn't expect it to come out on its own this time. It seems that you are the one destined for us."

"A destined person..." Hun Qinghao was somewhat skeptical, because she wasn't sure what the purple crystal was or what secrets it held.

……

Back in his courtyard, Hun Qinghao took out the purple crystal and began to study it.

She knew that the dean of Canaan Academy was a half-saint, and a purple crystal that even a half-saint couldn't handle was definitely not an ordinary item.

After a long while, Hun Qinghao gave up, slumped onto the table, propped his head up, and stared blankly into the eye.

She tried every method she could think of, but the purple crystal remained completely still.

"What on earth is this thing...?"

"Qing'er, why don't you try your bloodline power?" Yao Chen, who had been observing inside the ring for a long time, spoke up to remind her.

"Bloodline power?" Hun Qinghao was slightly taken aback. She really hadn't thought of using this method, after all, she didn't believe that this purple crystal belonged to their Hun clan.

Yao Chen continued, "Perhaps this is something from the Soul Clan, and it requires the Soul Clan bloodline to be activated."

"How is that possible?" Hun Qinghao retorted instinctively, "This thing is clearly a supreme treasure, but there is no trace of it in the records of the Hun Clan."

She was well-versed in all kinds of historical materials about the Soul Clan, and if there was any record of it, she would recognize it at a glance.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Besides, the Soul Clan has never declined. How could our Soul Clan's treasures have ended up in Canaan Academy? It would be more believable if we said they belonged to some other ancient clan."

Yao Chen thought about it and felt that what she said made sense. With the power of the Soul Clan, how could they let their clan's most precious treasure be lost to the outside world? But the two elders from Canaan Academy said that this purple crystal was brought out by their dean from an ancient secret realm, and it might really be an ancient treasure.

"I'm just guessing. Anyway, you've tried everything, why not try your own bloodline? You can't lose anything."

"Then I'll give it a try." Hun Qing looked at Yao Chen, then pricked her finger and pressed it onto the purple crystal, simultaneously activating her bloodline.

At first, the purple crystal didn't react much, but soon a faint purple light appeared on the crystalline stone.

Seeing this, both Hun Qinghao and Yao Chen were shocked; the stubborn stone finally reacted.

"It actually works!" Hun Qinghao's wide eyes were filled with shock. He glanced at Yao Chen, then decisively continued to force out blood.

The purple crystal absorbed Hun Qinghao's blood. The more it absorbed, the brighter the light became. However, as the blood in their bodies was lost, Hun Qinghao and the others became paler and paler.

However, the purple crystal was like a bottomless pit, showing no sign of stopping its absorption of blood.

Seeing that things were going wrong, and Hun Qinghao's face was growing paler, Yao Chen's expression turned grave. He quickly said, "Qing'er, stop! If you continue, you'll be drained dry!"

"But I can't stop! My blood is out of my control!" Hun Qinghao was panicked, her face contorted in distress, yet she was on the verge of tears.

"It won't stop..." Yao Chen's figure flickered, and he tried to forcefully separate the purple crystal from Hun Qinghao, but he was shaken away by the energy bursting out of the crystal.

He was horrified. Looking at the girl, whose face was deathly pale and whose breath was growing weaker and weaker, he felt immense guilt. "It's all my fault. I underestimated the strangeness of this stone and made you use your bloodline to test this object of unknown origin. I've ruined you!"

After blaming himself, Yao Chen made a decision, his eyes resolute as he said, "Teacher won't let anything happen to Qing'er. Even if it costs me my life, I will separate you from this strange stone!"
