The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Upon seeing Xu Zihuang waiting there, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her beautiful face.

"Tianhuang, you're back?"

No matter how mature she is, she is still just a twelve-year-old girl. Having just confirmed their relationship and not seeing each other for over a month, she inevitably feels a sense of uncertainty and anxiety.

"Ah."

Xu Zihuang stepped forward gently and took Ning Tian's hand, responding softly.

His actions immediately drew gasps of surprise from the group of girls around Ning Tian, ​​their eyes blazing with gossip.

"Sister Tian'er, what's going on here?!"

Ning Tian's light blue eyes were filled with shyness, but also a hint of sweetness. She then took Xu Zihuang's arm, answering their questions with her actions.

Xu Zihuang nodded politely to them, and then left with Ning Tian.

Once the two figures disappeared into the distance, the chattering of the girls could be heard again.

"My God, this is the first time I've ever seen Sister Tian'er make such an expression. Is this really the Sister Tian'er we know?"

"What's so strange about that? That's Yu Tianhuang, the number one genius of the outer academy whose talent surpasses even that of Senior Bei and Senior Xu."

"But Sister Tian'er and Yu Tianhuang are indeed a good match."

"..."

In Wang Yan's office in the teachers' office building.

The office is decorated in a very simple style.

Aside from rows of bookshelves, there was only a set of office desks and chairs and a welcome sofa.

Xu Zihuang, Ning Tian, ​​Wang Dong, and Xu Sanshi and Jiang Nannan, who were notified by Wang Yan, also arrived.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian sat close together on the right side of the sofa, with Jiang Nannan, Xu Sanshi, and Wang Dong on his left. The large sofa could easily accommodate more than ten people at the same time, yet it didn't feel crowded at all.

Xu Sanshi, as usual, tried every trick in the book to please Jiang Nannan. But Jiang Nannan was completely unmoved, her face filled with disgust. If it weren't for teacher Wang Yan being present, she might have lost her temper on the spot.

Just then, a steady knocking sounded on the door.

Wang Yan raised his head and looked gently toward the office door.

"Please come in."

"Teacher Wang, we're here." As expected, the two people who walked into the office were Beibei and He Caitou.

Beibei locked the door behind her, then noticed Xu Zihuang and the others on the sofa and smiled.

"It seems everyone has arrived."

He already had some guesses about why Wang Yan had suddenly gathered everyone together.

Wang Yan didn't intend to keep anyone in suspense. With a flash of light, three soul bones of different shapes appeared.

The three soul bones floated in mid-air, shimmering with dazzling soul power. The soul power fluctuations, so dense they were almost tangible, merged together, making the air in the office seem heavy.

"These three soul bones were the champion's prize in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament. After discussion by the academy, they will be distributed to you based on your abilities and characteristics as encouragement."

Chapter 210 Right Arm Bone, Left Leg Bone, and Trunk Bones

The three soul bones that Wang Yan took out from the soul tool were a right arm bone, a left leg bone, and an extremely rare torso bone.

The three soul bones were all different colors. The right arm bone was a translucent greenish-gold color, shimmering with a faint greenish-gold light. Inside this soul bone, green veins resembling plant veins could be clearly seen. Moreover, this right arm bone was quite intact, and a faint life force emanated from it.

It is obvious that this soul bone originated from a plant-type soul beast.

The left leg bone was a deep black, its dark light subdued, dimming the surrounding light. Although not as complete as the right arm bone, it was still a high-quality soul bone.

As for the pale golden torso bone, it appeared to be the most peculiar. It resembled a vertebra, but with other bones connected to it, as if constructed of golden crystal. A violent and powerful energy fluctuation was contained within it.

"Body and soul bone?" Upon seeing this torso bone, everyone showed surprise.

The torso bones are also known as body soul bones. Among the six common soul bones, the head soul bone and torso bones are the most precious.

After fusion, almost every head spirit bone allows a spirit master to experience a significant leap in mental power. If one is fortunate enough to encounter a top-grade head spirit bone, once fusion is complete, it may even enable the direct projection of mental power. The importance of mental power to a spirit master is undeniable. Moreover, the amplification from the head spirit bone can even enhance a spirit master's comprehension.

It can be said that fusing a head soul bone will definitely make a soul master's future cultivation path smoother.

This is precisely why top-tier soul master families are extremely cautious when attaching head soul bones to their outstanding successors. The head soul bone is an extremely important position.

However, the torso soul bone is even more precious than the head soul bone. The head soul bone amplifies mental power, while the torso soul bone enhances the soul master's physical attributes. Moreover, the improvement to physical attributes is far greater than that of arm and leg bones.

Some Soul Masters are able to possess Soul Rings far exceeding the standard ratio because of the enhancement their physical attributes provided by their torso Soul Bones. While the enhancements provided by arm and leg Soul Bones are more focused on specific areas, the torso Soul Bones offer a comprehensive, all-around improvement.

Wang Yan wasn't too surprised by the expressions on everyone's faces. To be honest, when he was invited by Emperor Xu Jiawei of the Star Luo Empire to select soul bones from the national treasury, he didn't expect that His Majesty would actually put in a torso soul bone.

Wang Yan smiled slightly and began to introduce the torso and soul bone.

"This torso soul bone was taken from a type of ape-like soul beast called the King Kong Baboon."

The King Kong Baboon is a strength-type soul beast. It is also the largest ape-like soul beast. That's right, the largest in size. Under the same cultivation level, the King Kong Baboon is even larger than the Titan Ape. However, it is not as powerful as the Titan Ape.

According to ancient texts, the largest known giant baboon can reach a height of forty meters, making it an undisputed behemoth in the world of spirit beasts. Its massive size grants it immense strength, with only a handful of spirit beasts capable of overwhelming it. One of these is, of course, the aforementioned Titan Ape.

It has no ranged soul skills; it relies solely on its own pure strength in battle. This terrifying power grants it astonishing defense and speed, earning it the title of King of the Jungle.

The King Kong Baboon's only innate soul skill is called Berserk. Unlike Bloodlust, Berserk only affects the body, not soul power. However, Berserk can increase all physical abilities by 50%, and its side effects are far less severe than Bloodlust. After use, it only causes a slight weakness for a period of time, during which time it can still maintain its combat effectiveness.

The Golden Baboon is a fairly typical soul beast. Even Jiang Nannan, who came from a commoner background, had learned about this kind of soul beast at Shrek Academy.

Wang Yan paused briefly before continuing.

"As you all know, the Vajra Baboon only has one soul skill: Berserk. In other words, the soul skill attached to this torso soul bone is also Berserk. According to the academy's appraisal, the Vajra Baboon that produced this torso soul bone should have at least 20,000 years of cultivation."

Instead of immediately distributing the soul bone, he began to introduce the left leg bone next to the torso soul bone.

"This left leg bone comes from a Ghost Shadow Leopard with ten thousand years of cultivation. The Ghost Shadow Leopard has several innate soul skills, and the skills in this soul bone are not fixed. The skills it produces will be different depending on the martial soul it fuses with. But what is certain is that after fusing with it, it will gain an attack skill that is launched with the left leg. At the same time, it can also increase the speed of the soul master."

When Wang Yan's gaze fell on the last piece of green-gold right arm bone, a strange look appeared in his eyes.

"As for this last soul bone, it should be the highest quality of the three. It was taken from the nearly extinct plant-type soul beast, the Golden Sun Flower. Moreover, the Golden Sun Flower that produced this soul bone had a cultivation level of over 40,000 years. This soul bone is called the Right Arm Bone of Light's Feedback, and the accompanying soul skill has been solidified and is called Light's Feedback. Light's Feedback is only a support-type soul skill that can restore soul power by using light energy, but it can only be used with sunlight. Under sufficient sunlight, the speed at which this soul skill restores soul power is quite considerable."

The Star Luo Empire's act of taking out this soul bone demonstrated considerable goodwill.

If it weren't for the starlight cultivated by the Star Crown Martial Soul inherited by the Xu family of the Star Luo Empire and the sunlight absorbed by this soul bone, this soul bone would have been out of reach for everyone. But this doesn't mean that this soul bone is worthless. Such a soul bone, capable of continuously restoring soul power, is an absolute treasure coveted by the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire, whose foundations are unstable and who rely on drugs to improve their cultivation.

Because of this Light-Generating Right Arm Bone, they can, to some extent, compensate for their shallow foundation and enhance their ability to sustain combat. Unlike traditional Soul Masters, the Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire generally have relatively weak Martial Souls, relying more on their own Soul Power cultivation and various Soul Guidance Devices in battle.

The allure of this soul bone, capable of continuously restoring soul power, is self-evident.

Xu Jiawei took out this soul bone for Wang Yan to choose from and bring back to Shrek Academy, because he didn't want this soul bone to be left outside and benefit the soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire.

After listening to Wang Yan's introduction, everyone's expressions underwent subtle changes.

The left leg bone taken from the ten-thousand-year-old Ghost Shadow Leopard was only mediocre, so let's leave that aside for now. But both the torso soul bone of the twenty-thousand-year-old Vajra Baboon and this right arm bone nurtured by light can be considered second-tier top-grade soul bones.

Especially the Light-Replenishing Right Arm Bone, a soul skill that restores soul power, has always been considered a divine skill among auxiliary soul skills. Even among the direct disciples of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School behind Ning Tian, ​​which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, not a single one possesses a soul skill that restores soul power.

Soul skills that amplify soul power are vastly different from those that restore soul power. One can only boost a soul master's combat power for a short period of time, while the other enhances a soul master's ability to fight continuously.

It's fair to say that this soul bone is suitable for anyone present. After all, any soul master or soul mentor with soul power can benefit from a soul skill that continuously restores soul power.

Wang Yan turned his gaze away from the right arm bone that was nourished by light, and then gently waved his right hand, sending the soul bone, which was suspended in mid-air by soul power, to Ning Tian's front. He smiled and said.

"This Light-Generating Right Arm Bone should significantly extend the duration of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul's support ability. Ning Tian, ​​this soul bone is yours."

Although this soul bone is suitable for everyone present, the one who is most compatible with it is actually Wang Dong, who possesses the light attribute martial soul, the Goddess of Light Butterfly.

It's not that Wang Yan had ulterior motives; it was simply an arrangement made by the academy.

In the recent Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, neither Wang Dong nor Ning Tian participated. However, Yu Tianhuang's performance was quite impressive, contributing significantly to Shrek Academy's ultimate victory. Based on his contribution, Yu Tianhuang is certain to receive a soul bone.

However, given his extraordinary talent, fusing with such a soul bone would be a waste of his abilities. Furthermore, Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian have a very close relationship, so after careful consideration, the academy decided to reward Ning Tian with the soul bone.

Ultimately, it was Yu Tianhuang who received the benefits from Shrek Academy.

Everyone understood the intention behind it, and no one raised any objections.

However, Jiang Nannan couldn't help but take a few more glances at the soul bone. Coming from a commoner background, when had she ever had the experience of handling three soul bones up close? The other six people were all exceptionally knowledgeable and from extraordinary backgrounds, and Jiang Nannan had the strongest reaction when Wang Yan took out the three soul bones.

A person's background determines their perspective. Moreover, Jiang Nannan also has a slightly greedy nature, a trait that was acquired later in life. More precisely, it was formed when her mother fell seriously ill and she had no money to buy elixirs, ultimately forcing her to sell herself into the Xuanming Sect.

Ning Tian was taken aback when he saw Wang Yan present the soul bone to him.

As the sole heir to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, she had no shortage of soul bones. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had a history of tens of thousands of years, and its foundation was even deeper than that of the Body School. Moreover, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth, she could easily purchase a complete set of soul bones for herself at the continent's top auction houses in a short period of time, if she so desired.

However, finding a soul bone that is perfectly suited to one's needs is not easy. Soul bones that are compatible with support-type soul masters have always been rare on the continent.

This right arm bone, nourished by light, was one of the few soul bones suitable for her. However, to her surprise, Wang Yan actually gave it to her.

However, she immediately understood the meaning behind it and did not rush to take the soul bone. Instead, she glanced at Xu Zihuang beside her.

In front of everyone, Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's fair and smooth hand again and said with a light laugh.

"Take it."

Ning Tian blushed slightly. Being led by Yu Tianhuang in this setting made her feel a little uncomfortable. Especially since Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and the others around her were all looking at her and Yu Tianhuang with ambiguous expressions.

However, she didn't panic. She nodded slightly to Xu Zihuang and put the soul bone into the exquisite starlight sapphire storage ring on her other hand.

Wang Yan watched Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian with a smile, his expression momentarily dazed. The intimate interaction between Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian reminded him of his time studying at Shrek Academy in his youth. At Shrek Academy, where geniuses abounded, his talent was hardly outstanding, and he could only devote himself to the research of martial souls.

He realized he hadn't considered his marriage at all. His once dormant heart began to stir. For some reason, images suddenly flashed through his mind.

The person in the painting is a female student from the inner courtyard.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan cleared his mind of the chaotic thoughts. He then used his right hand to hold the torso bone taken from the 20,000-year-old Vajra Baboon.

"The soul skill associated with this torso soul bone is Berserk, which is most suitable for battle soul masters who are good at close combat. Cai Tou, although you are a soul master, you need to use your body to bear the weight of various soul cannons, so this soul bone should be the most suitable for you."

"Ah?" He Caitou was flattered and quickly waved his hand, his honest face blushing slightly.

"This soul bone should be quite suitable for Senior Brother Bei and the others, right? I..."

Before He Caitou could finish speaking, Beibei interrupted him with a smile.

“Caitou, my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul isn’t the kind that specializes in close combat. Fusing with this Soul Bone will actually have some negative effects on me. Sanshi is a defensive-type Battle Soul Master. In battle, he needs to defend against the attacks of his opponents and enemies, so this Berserk skill isn’t really suitable for him. As for Tianhuang, his situation is similar to mine.”

Xu Sanshi lazily put his hand on He Caitou's shoulder and said in a deliberately aloof manner.

"Stop dawdling. I don't care about this soul bone."

"Senior Brother, accept it. Teacher Wang is right, this soul bone is indeed very suitable for you." Xu Zihuang also chimed in with a smile.

In the end, He Caitou could only accept the soul bone with a sheepish smile.
