I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Xu Xingyu looked at the smiling middle-aged man and felt a little wary.

The main problem is that Yan Shaozhe is a difficult character to evaluate. Having read the original novel, I would describe him as a scumbag who couldn't handle his emotional problems (although the other protagonist in that incident, Xian Lin'er, also had a problem with her thought process), and at the same time, he is a stubborn person who is too obsessed with tradition.

This is evident from the fact that, in the original story, if he hadn't been forced by his own teacher, he probably would never have accepted the concept of a soul tool in his entire life. And in this life, as one of the elders who opposed the soul spirit faction, he further confirmed Xu Xingyu's assessment.

However, since Xu Xingyu did not sense any malice from him, she eventually put away her wariness outwardly and kept it hidden deep in her heart.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe showed a satisfied expression and began to say, "Xu Xingyu, although my disciple has already introduced me, please allow me to introduce myself again."

"I am Yan Shaozhe, the current dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy. It's a pleasure to meet Xu Xingyu."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyu politely clasped her hands in greeting and said, "This student greets Dean Yan."

Yan Shaozhe waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities, and continued, "First of all, I want to apologize to you, Xu, for my disciple's behavior. This matter was purely due to our negligence, and I am deeply sorry for what happened."

After speaking, Yan Shaozhe took out a leather bag and handed it to Xu Xingyu.

"This is Shrek Academy's compensation for our previous oversight. You can open it and take a look; I hope you like it."

Xu Xingyu took the leather bag from Yan Shaozhe. It was made of a very soft material, seemingly from the hide of some kind of soul beast. After careful observation, Xu Xingyu also discovered that the leather bag had the effect of isolating soul power.

It was clear that the contents of the bag were no ordinary items, and Xu Xingyu quickly opened the bag.

As a result, three beams of light of different colors filled the entire room.

Those were three soul bones: a left arm bone, a skull bone, and a wing-shaped soul bone.

The left arm bone is presented in a golden-red color, with five slender finger bones pointing upwards, each fingertip emitting a faint golden-red glow.

This is the left arm bone of the Golden Light that Wang Dong absorbed in the original work. This soul bone was dropped by a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King.

Because the Golden Earth Dragon King itself contains pure dragon bloodline that has been diluted, the soul bones it provides also contain the power of its bloodline.

Therefore, it is only a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, but in terms of price alone, it can rival a one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone.

The head bone was dropped by a nearly extinct soul beast, originally named Snow Demon.

The so-called Snow Demon is a special soul beast born in the far north. In addition to the ice attribute inherent to far northern soul beasts, it also possesses spatial elements.

Although the Snow Demon clan has not cultivated these two attributes to their ultimate potential, they are extremely close to achieving them.

They were driven to extinction simply because they were inherently mischievous and always liked to play pranks and disrupt the order of the far north.

In the end, they inadvertently provoked the Titan Snow Demon King, which led to their siege and annihilation, leaving only a few of their people alive.

Specifically, he replaced the token of love that Titan Snow Demon King gave to Snow Empress with something else, which led to him being beaten badly by Snow Empress.

As for the last wing bone, Xu Xingyu understood the moment she saw it that it was an external soul bone.

The so-called external soul bones are different from other soul bones in that they are not one of the original six soul bones. In addition, after they are fused with the soul master, they can continuously become stronger and evolve as the soul master's cultivation level increases.

It can be said that even if the soul beast that provides the external soul bone is just an ordinary one, its evolutionary characteristics alone will make countless soul masters envious.

The biggest example is the Eight Spider Lances provided by the Human-Faced Demon Spider that Tang San hunted down ten thousand years ago.

Originally, this was just a soul bone provided by a soul beast that was over two thousand years old. It wasn't particularly outstanding, but one day in the future, Tang San refined the Eight Spider Lances into his own natal super artifact.

This shows just how unreasonable the evolutionary characteristics of external soul bones are!

Xu Xingyu himself possesses a left palm bone given to him by his wife, Gu Yuena, from the first Dark Dragon King. Theoretically, it is also a type of external soul bone.

As for the wing soul bone in Xu Xingyu's hand, it was provided by a Silver Emperor Sky Falcon, a bird soul beast that controls space and wind.

It is an extremely powerful being, and the one in Xu Xingyu's hand has a cultivation level of over 50,000 years.

Ma Xiaotao, who was standing to the side, was quite surprised to see that her teacher had bled so much.

It's true that she was invaded by evil fire and nearly killed her opponent (in reality, she was being overwhelmed from beginning to end), but was it really necessary to give her a peerless treasure like a soul bone that money can't buy?!

What's more, there are three pieces!?!?!?!

Unlike Ma Xiaotao's surprise, Xu Xingyu wore a solemn expression.

His thoughts were similar to Ma Xiaotao's; he didn't think that simply beating up the enraged Ma Xiaotao would be enough to get such compensation.

Admittedly, soul bones are not very attractive to Xu Xingyu, whose faction is almost entirely composed of soul beasts.

However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these soul bones are not a good match for Xu Xingyu (according to the author: although theoretically, the soul bones that could match Xu Xingyu are only at the Wuji level), but are a good match for the three girls he kept at school.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu knew that the compensation was not as simple as she had imagined, and that the old fox in front of her must have something he needed her help with.

Moreover, since Xu Xingyu comes from the Spirit Tower, a power that surpasses Shrek Academy, it's impossible for them not to bleed a lot in this regard.

Therefore, he probably decided to give Xu Xingyu both the compensation and the requested reward together, leaving her with no choice but to accept.

Xu Xingyu originally wanted to decline, since although these soul bones were very suitable for her girls, she theoretically had better ones.

However, as if he suddenly thought of something, he finally decided to accept these soul bones, which would be perfect for conducting an interesting experiment.

After putting away the soul bone, Xu Xingyu looked at Yan Shaozhe and said, "Thank you, Dean Yan. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Yan Shaozhe didn't show any annoyance at Xu Xingyu's direct approach to the topic. After all, anyone with a certain level of intelligence could see that he still had something to say. Otherwise, why would he give so much information?

Yan Shaozhe smiled and said, "I was fortunate enough to witness how you suppressed my disciple's evil fire during your duel. Therefore, if possible, could you help my disciple suppress her evil fire from time to time?"
