Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 69 Soul Ascension Pill! Two Soul Bones? (35)

Shortly after, Duvilen returned.

At the same time, another person came with him.

Yan Shaozhe!

When Zhu Ziyang and the other two saw Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun enter the office, they instinctively stood up, looked at him, and greeted him, "Good morning, Dean Yan!"

"Hello!" Yan Shaozhe greeted the three with a kind smile. "Children, congratulations on winning the freshman assessment! You've all done a great job, especially you, Zhu Ziyang, you are the most talented student I've ever met! You will be the future of Shrek Academy!"

Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's words, all three showed excited smiles. Regardless of how genuine Zhu Ziyang's smile was, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya's emotions were definitely on point.

"Thank you for your praise, we will definitely continue to work hard!" the three replied respectfully in unison.

"Alright, Viren, bring out their rewards." Yan Shaozhe said to Du Viren with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes!" Du Weilun replied, and the soul guide ring on his hand flashed, revealing three small jade bottles in his hand, which he then handed to Yan Shaozhe.

Yan Shaozhe took the three jade bottles, and then took out a dark leather pouch from his sleeve. Upon seeing the pouch, Zhu Ziyang's eyes flickered slightly. It was a soul bone pouch!

Yan Shaozhe did not notice the change in Zhu Ziyang's eyes. He put the three jade bottles and the dark brocade pouch together and pushed them in front of Zhu Ziyang and the other two.

He said, "This is your reward. These are three Soul Ascension Pills, a type of pill that can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the soul. For those of you who are only at the second or third ring level, these Soul Ascension Pills should be able to raise your soul power by one or two levels."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziyang and his companions' faces lit up with joy, their eyes fixed on the three jade porcelain bottles, filled with longing. What soul master wouldn't want something that could enhance their soul power? Especially precious pills that could directly increase their level!

Although Zhu Ziyang is capable of alchemy, he is currently unable to refine a pill with special value, such as the Soul Ascension Pill, due to both his lack of ability and the availability of materials.

"Hehe! Kids, don't rush, you have another reward." Yan Shaozhe smiled at the three's reaction and said, "This is also your reward, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Zhu Ziyang took the dark-colored soul bone pouch, already guessing what was inside. Without a doubt, it was a soul bone, though he didn't know which part it was. A soul bone offered as a reward by Shrek Academy was certainly no ordinary soul bone. Zhu Ziyang opened the pouch with anticipation.

A dark, shadowy light emerged and silently floated in mid-air before everyone's eyes.

This is a small and exquisite piece of bone, emitting a faint dark light with silver glimmers at the edges, possessing a dreamlike beauty in its depth.

"It really is a soul bone!" Tang Ya couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes filled with shock and excitement.

Jiang Nannan's reaction was no different from Tang Ya's, except that she didn't shout out loud. However, the shock and excitement in her eyes were no less than Tang Ya's, and even more nakedly eager. She felt that her body seemed to crave this soul bone!

"That's right, it's a soul bone." Yan Shaozhe said calmly. He observed the expressions of Zhu Ziyang and the other two. Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya's reactions were within his expectations, but Zhu Ziyang's reaction, which he was most concerned about, made him even more satisfied with this exceptionally talented young man. He said, "Your talent and performance have satisfied the academy, or more precisely, me. Therefore, I have decided to give you a soul bone as a reward. I will introduce this soul bone to you, and then you three can decide how to distribute it. However, although soul bones are precious, I hope you will not let it affect your relationship. As core disciples of Shrek Academy, you will have many more opportunities to obtain soul bones."

"This soul bone was specially selected for you. It doesn't have any obvious limitations and is a universal soul bone that can be used by attack, agility, and control types. This soul bone comes from a 5,000-year-old Moon Shadow Rabbit and is a right leg bone. After fusion, the soul master's speed will be increased, and they will also gain an attribute-boosting skill."

"It's yours now. This soul bone pouch is also for you; use it to conceal the aura of the soul bones. After all, money can be tempting, and one must always be wary. You yourselves must keep this a secret. Also, you must keep the academy's reward of soul bones a secret from the academy. Understand?"

"Moon Shadow Rabbit!" Upon hearing Yan Shaozhe's introduction, both Zhu Ziyang and Tang Ya couldn't help but look at Jiang Nannan, and a strong look of longing appeared on Jiang Nannan's pretty face.

"What's wrong?" Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun noticed the change in the three people's expressions and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Nan Nan's first spirit ring was also a Moon Shadow Rabbit," Tang Ya said with a strange expression, because the probability of encountering a spirit bone of the same origin as a spirit ring is not much different from the generation rate of spirit bones.

"Is that so!" Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun were also surprised. They couldn't help but look at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. This soul bone was actually prepared by Yan Shaozhe for Zhu Ziyang. However, they did not expect that it would be such a coincidence. Compared with Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan was obviously more suitable to fuse with this soul bone.

This is a bit tricky.

For ordinary Soul Masters, all Soul Bones are undoubtedly precious.

However, there are also quality differences between soul bones. These differences don't stem from the soul bone's age, location, or soul skills, but rather from its compatibility with the soul master. This compatibility arises from a variety of complex reasons. Generally speaking, this compatibility provides soul masters with a reference when choosing soul bones. Based on compatibility, soul bones can be divided into three levels. The highest level of compatibility is naturally the soul bone that originated from the same soul beast as the soul ring. The next level includes soul bones that originated from the same soul beast as the soul ring, soul bones that originated from the same soul beast as the martial soul, and soul bones that originated from the same soul beast as the soul master's bloodline. These three types of soul bones are respectively called soul ring-origin soul bones, martial soul-origin soul bones, and bloodline-origin soul bones. The lowest level consists of all other types of soul bones.

"Jiang Nannan, could you tell me what your first soul skill is?" Yan Shaozhe asked with a thoughtful look in his eyes, then looked at Jiang Nannan with a smile.

"Y-yes." Jiang Nannan paused for a moment, then replied, "My first soul skill is called Moon Shadow Body, which doubles my speed when used."

"Oh!" Yan Shaozhe looked enlightened, pondered for a moment, then looked Zhu Ziyang, Jiang Nannan, and Tang Ya up and down before saying, "Then I'll play the bad guy today and give this soul bone to Jiang Nannan. After all, it's not easy to find a soul bone with the same origin as a soul ring. What do you two think?"

"Yes!" Zhu Ziyang and Tang Ya answered in unison. Zhu Ziyang had absolutely no objections, since he wanted to give the soul bone to Jiang Nannan. Tang Ya's prompt agreement only increased Zhu Ziyang's positive impression of her.

"Brother, Xiaoya, I..." Jiang Nannan wanted to refuse, but before she could finish speaking, Zhu Ziyang interrupted her.

"Nannan, don't refuse. Even if Dean Yan hadn't said anything, I would still have preferred to give this soul bone to you." Zhu Ziyang smiled and said, "I think Xiaoya probably thinks the same way."

Zhu Ziyang looked at Tang Ya, who rolled her eyes at him. Then she looked at Jiang Nannan and said, "That's right, Nannan, this soul bone is obviously more suitable for you. The effect of your fusion will definitely be better than mine or Zhu Ziyang's, so don't refuse."

"Thank you!" Jiang Nannan said, deeply moved, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

Zhu Ziyang and Tang Ya's performance brought a hint of relief to Yan Shaozhe and Du Weilun's eyes. Yan Shaozhe's heart stirred, and he suddenly had an idea. He said, "I'm glad that you were able to maintain your friendship despite the temptation of the soul bone. Speaking of which, this soul bone was my mistake. As compensation, I'll give it to you as well!"

As soon as Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, he actually took out another soul bone pouch!
