In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Chapter 212 Four Soul Bones

"Prince Xuexing is very shrewd. With him around, Avalanche will not easily fall for his tricks."

"Over the years, Avalanche has either been indulging in extravagance or on his path to it. Behind this is Prince Xuexing's advice to him, trying to avoid my attention by being mediocre. And they have never let their guard down."

"Hmm! I must say, this Prince Xuexing does indeed have very keen insight."

"Let's see how it goes! If all else fails, we'll just poison him! Even if they suspect you then, so what? By then, you'll be the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if those ministers have their own ideas, what can they do? You'll already have the reins of power. Once you've completely taken control of the Heaven Dou Empire and the army, they won't have a chance to stir up any trouble."

"With a million soldiers at your command, even if your name isn't Xue Qinghe, you are the de facto king."

"That's true."

"Let's go back! Staying away from the banquet for too long will arouse suspicion."

"good!"

……

After finishing their business in Tiandou City, the members of the Beast Academy did not choose to stay in Tiandou City for too long. In particular, Mu Jiabao and his group were very impatient to be visited after the banquet. Lin Hai was clever, though. Anyway, none of the nobles had been able to find him, and their replies were so convincing that they could not refute them. It was Crown Prince Xue Qinghe who was looking for him.

Two days later, the group from the Beast Academy embarked on their journey back to Silves City, where they would return home in glory.

Silves City, Beast Academy, Night.

Lin Hai stood at his doorstep, while sounds continued to drift out from inside.

"Oh dear! Really, Pigeon hasn't been home for ages. She went out to play without taking her cute little sister with her. Pigeon is so mean."

"Hehehe! How adorable is our little Jiayue when she's angry."

"Mommy, Jia Yue isn't a two-year-old anymore!"

"Yes, yes, our little Jiayue is already two and a half years old!"

"Hmph!" A cute little baby voice.

Lin Hai placed his hand on the doorknob, twisted his wrist, and with a click, the door opened.

After Lin Hai fully opened the door, he squatted down with his arms outstretched. His movements were extremely practiced; he could already anticipate what would happen next.

The next moment, a tiny person crashed into his arms like a cannonball.

"Pigeon!" The little voice was filled with joy.

"Eh!"

Behind Lin Jiayue, Lin Qianshu and Yue Qinghe also walked over slowly.

Lin Hai picked up Xiao Jiayue and greeted his parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm home!"

"It's good to see you back. My Xiaohai has lost weight since I last saw him!" There's a kind of love called a mother's concern that you've lost weight!

"Yes, you've lost weight."

Lin Hai wisely refrained from refuting, for this was based on experience. Speaking of which, Lin Hai couldn't help but believe it; he recalled a saying from his past life: "Behind every outrageous rule lies an even more outrageous story."

We've already heard about your championship win.

"Son, your mom and dad are so proud of you."

"Me too, me too." Xiao Jiayue tried hard to make her presence known.

"Yes, yes, and you too!"

"Hehehe."

"By the way, Mother, didn't my maternal grandmother have a younger brother? Did she ever mention him to you?"

"Hey, how did you know? Xiao Hai."

"When your maternal grandmother was still alive, she always talked about her younger brother, but because she had amnesia, she only knew that she had a younger brother, but she couldn't remember his name or who he was."

"What? You found your great-uncle?" Yue Qinghe asked, slightly surprised and delighted.

"Although it's not certain yet, there is indeed someone in mind. He approached me first, and I was quite surprised when I first heard that he was my great-uncle."

"Then why didn't you bring him back!" Upon hearing that he might really be her uncle, Yue Qinghe couldn't help but feel happy, even though she didn't have many elders.

Following her mother's passing, Yue Qinghe's father also went to search for Yue Qinghe's mother shortly after her marriage to Lin Qianshu.

Yue Qinghe's father was an only child, and his parents had passed away long ago due to certain circumstances. In fact, if it weren't for Yue Qinghe's mother, her father would have been gone long ago as well. The two of them shared a deeply moving love story.

"He's quite busy, but he said he'll find time to come himself."

"Did it say when?"

No, not at all.

"Oh?" Yue Qinghe was a little disappointed when she didn't get a satisfactory answer.

"Mommy~, you still have me~ your cute little baby~"

"Haha, Mommy's baby can comfort Mommy now!" Yue Qinghe took Lin Jiayue from Lin Hai's arms and hugged and kissed her.

"Hehehehehe." The little guy was overjoyed.

Seeing the family's joyful appearance, Lin Hai's serious face softened slightly.

Lin Hai's gaze was firm: No matter what, I will not allow anyone to threaten my family.

……

The following day, in the Dean's office of the Beast Academy, ten members of the Beast Academy team arrived, along with Dugu Bo and Meng Shu Chaotianxiang.

Feng Xiaotian originally intended to leave midway and return directly to Winchester, but Lin Hai stopped him.

"These are the champion's rewards for this competition. Let's distribute them!" Lin Hai took out the champion's rewards from his soul tool.

After Dugu Yan received the championship reward, she returned and handed it over to Lin Hai. Lin Hai had once wanted to give it to Meng Shu for safekeeping, but Meng Shu refused.

The exact words were, "This is a reward you earned through your own hard work. You don't need to leave it to me to keep. You are responsible for keeping the reward safe, and we will be responsible for protecting you."

As a result, Lin Hai had a huge sum of money in his hands.

"I'm giving up. I didn't contribute to the final match, and I don't feel qualified to participate," Avanil was the first to speak.

"Me too!" Catherine chimed in.

"I am already very satisfied to have won the championship under the leadership of you captains. Moreover, my contribution to the team is not enough. The honor of the championship is enough for me." Yara Huchi chose to refuse.

"I also choose to give up. The three soul bones that are the champion's reward are only for the three of you who have made the greatest contribution: Captain, Feng Xiaotian, and Mu Jiabao."

"..."

"Yes. Thank you everyone."

After the simple distribution was completed, Avanil, Catherine, and the others bid farewell and left. They were self-aware people and not ungrateful.

The last people left on the scene were Lin Hai, Feng Xiaotian, Mu Jiabao, Dugu Yan, and Meng Yiran.

Meng Shu and Dugu Bo watched quietly as Lin Hai would decide how to distribute the resources.

Before Lin Hai could speak, Feng Xiaotian had already given his allocation suggestions.

"I think this right arm bone, sculpted from bursting flames, is perfect for Jia Bao!"

"I think Lin Hai would be a perfect fit for this spiritually concentrated wisdom head bone. We can give it to him..."

At that moment, Lin Hai interrupted Feng Xiaotian, "I don't need this head soul bone of spiritual wisdom, because I already have a head soul bone, so there's no need to consider me when it comes to the allocation of soul bones. I won't participate in this allocation."

"If you put it that way, it's much simpler. Since you already have them, then the remaining two soul bones can be divided equally between Dugu Yan and Meng Yiran!"

Feng Xiaotian wanted to resolve the distribution quickly and efficiently because there was not only a soul bone suitable for Jia Bao, but also one suitable for him—the left leg bone of the Swift Wind Chaser. However, the number of soul bones was clearly limited, and their core team consisted of five people, making it a bit insufficient to distribute them all.

If Lin Hai had spoken first, Feng Xiaotian could have predicted how Lin Hai would distribute the items. In any case, Mu Jiabao's Explosive Burning Flame right arm bone and his Rapid Forward Chasing Wind left leg bone were definitely going to be taken.

However, Feng Xiaotian did not want to accept this soul bone that was so compatible with him, because Lin Hai had already given him a soul bone before.

He felt he shouldn't participate in this soul bone allocation, which led to the scene at the beginning where he tried to extricate himself from the allocation process.

……

There were three boxes containing soul bones in front of Lin Hai. The lids of all the boxes had been opened, revealing the soul bones inside. Although Feng Xiaotian made a suggestion, everyone assumed that Lin Hai had the final say in the distribution.

Everyone waited anxiously for Lin Hai's assignment, including Meng Shu and Dugu Bo. Although the two old men didn't say it, they also hoped that their granddaughter could still obtain the opportunity to acquire a soul bone.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Lin Hai calmly took out another box from his soul tool.

Seeing Lin Hai take out another box, the eyes of the four young men present, including Feng Xiaotian, widened in surprise. Meng Shu and Dugu Bo were equally astonished, both harboring the same suspicion.

Could Lin Hai (that brat) still have another soul bone? Is he a soul bone wholesaler? He has so many soul bones.

Among those who were surprised, Dugu Bo and Feng Xiaotian had the most strange expressions. They had truly witnessed the matter of the soul bone in Lin Hai's hands; Feng Xiaotian had been given a soul bone by Lin Hai, and Dugu Bo had personally seen Lin Hai cut out an external soul bone. They really felt that Lin Hai seemed to have no shortage of soul bones.

Lin Hai took out the gem-like head bone he had seized from Shi Nian, opened the box, and found a round bone about three inches in diameter. It shimmered with a faint seven-colored light and had the luster of a gemstone, looking like a miniature skull.

"This is perfect!" Lin Hai said in the most calm tone, making it seem unbelievable.

The champion's reward incident took such a dramatic turn!

Seeing everyone staring at him expectantly, their curiosity was undisguised. Even Meng Shu and Dugu Bo had a hint of gossip in their eyes.

"I stole this soul bone, and its original owner was the dean of Canghui Academy," Lin Hai explained calmly.

"Wow~" When Lin Hai explained it like this, Feng Xiaotian and Dugu Yan gasped. Unlike Mu Jiabao and Meng Yiran, who were a bit naive and didn't understand some things, the two of them knew exactly who the dean of Canghui Academy was.

"You...you...you killed a Soul Saint!!" Dugu Yan's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

That's right! The dean of Canghui Academy is none other than the famous Spiritual Soul Saint, Shi Nian! There are already few Spiritual Soul Masters, and even fewer Spiritual Soul Saints.

Just like Xin, the food-type Soul Saint of Shrek Academy, he is one of the top five food-type Soul Masters in the Soul Master world.

"You really are... amazing!"

A Soul King killing a Soul Saint—this really isn't some kind of horror story; it's utterly absurd. But they couldn't help but believe it, because during the Heaven Dou Division of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, they had indeed never seen the Dean of Canghui Academy again after their first encounter with him.

"Xiao Hai! Don't do such dangerous things again." Meng Shu really didn't know what to say, but finally managed to utter a seemingly comforting but actually admonishing remark.

"Okay, sure."

Meng Shu and the others, of course, had no idea how easily Lin Hai had dealt with Shi Nian back then. However, after Lin Hai's mental attack on Tang Hao from afar, which was comparable to that of a Title Douluo, they knew that Lin Hai was indeed capable of killing Shi Nian.

"Now is just right."

Feng Xiaotian and the other three: "..." Yes, you're awesome, you're in charge.

"This right arm bone with the explosive burning flames is suitable for Jia Bao. This soul bone is for you." After saying that, Lin Hai pushed the box containing the right arm bone with the explosive burning flames toward Mu Jia Bao.

"I...this..."

"Take it down!" Dugu Yan said.

"That's right, that's right, it doesn't seem like we're any worse off now," Meng Yiran chimed in.

"Oh, okay, alright." Mu Jiabao accepted the right arm bone from the Exploding Burning Flames.

"You don't need to refuse. I already have this leg bone, so you can take this Swift Wind Chaser left leg bone!"

"Your becoming stronger will be my support in the future, and you can accept it without any guilt." As usual, Lin Hai pushed the box containing the left leg bone of the Swift Wind Chaser towards Feng Xiaotian.

"Damn, you're a beast! I was wondering why you leveled up faster than me, turns out you had a whole set of better equipment!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never would have guessed you were this amazing!"

"Alright, stop fooling around."

"This gem-like soul bone leans towards the mental illusion aspect, while that skull of concentrated wisdom leans towards the mental attack aspect."

"Dugu Yan's first two soul skills are support skills, her third soul skill is poison, and her fourth soul skill has a little bit of offensive ability. Based on the above analysis, your offensive capabilities are still quite lacking, and your ability to protect yourself is also lacking. Therefore, this skull of mental concentration that is biased towards mental attacks will be given to you."

"The ability of this last soul bone is probably to create an illusionary space. Enemies pulled into the illusionary space will get lost in it. Of course, it won't be very effective against those with stronger mental power than you. I feel it suits you quite well, still."

"Thank you, Captain." Meng Yiran accepted the soul bone handed to her by Lin Hai.

She wasn't unhappy at all. In her original plan, she had no chance of getting those three soul bones. She hadn't performed well in the team's battles and didn't have the outstanding achievements of Feng Xiaotian and Mu Jiabao.

However, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Lin Hai, as the team leader, was exempt from the distribution because he possessed a head spirit bone. Not only that, he also contributed a precious spirit bone, making a total of four, which were then divided equally. She was fortunate enough to receive one.

Dugu Bo and Meng Shu, who were watching from the sidelines, were naturally overjoyed. Their granddaughter had received a soul bone reward, and they felt the same way about her benefiting from it.
