Douluo's Bone Transforms into a Divine Dragon

Chapter 207 Return Journey, Soul Bone Distribution

Just as the various factions had already made other arrangements, Gu Xuan and his group boarded the carriage to return to the Tian Dou Empire.

Because His Highness the Crown Prince had been unwell for several days, Gu Xuan, who had just learned of the news, went directly to His Highness the Crown Prince's carriage to comfort his good elder brother.

However, when Gu Xuan saw Xue Qinghe, Xue Qinghe was already out of danger. This was because Qian Daoliu had used his powerful angelic energy to help Qian Renxue recover to full health. After all, she hadn't suffered any serious injuries, only a huge depletion of her soul power.

Seeing that Gu Xuan had recovered to a great extent, Xue Qinghe was completely bewildered. Both of them had consumed a huge amount of soul power, so why had Gu Xuan recovered so much in just a day and a half?

She recovered with her grandfather's help, but what about Gu Xuan?

Oh, at this moment Xue Qinghe remembered that Ning Fengzhi was a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, and also the strongest support on the continent. It was normal for him to help Gu Xuan recover.

Indeed, that was the case. With Ning Fengzhi's recovery and Gu Xuan's own pill-taking, it took two and a half days to barely recover 75% of his original health. However, compared to the original month, it was a much shorter recovery time.

Seeing that Xue Qinghe was out of danger, Gu Xuan complained to him, "Brother Xue, you don't know, the final match this time, Qian Renxue, is the same girl I met in the Star Dou Great Forest. She's beautiful, but she's shameless."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's brows furrowed and veins bulged, but he held back, wanting to hear what Gu Xuan had to say next. So he patiently guided him:

"Why?"

Gu Xuan's face turned dejected as he said, "That Qian Renxue is already a level 74 Soul Saint, yet she still dares to compete with us lowly Soul Kings for the championship. Don't you think she's shameless?"

"If I hadn't had a trump card, I might have been beaten by her this time."

"Brother Xue, do you think all talented and beautiful girls are this bad?"

Listening to Gu Xuan's complaints, Xue Qinghe felt inexplicably happy for some reason.

Talented and good-looking?

Hmm...you have good taste...

After a long silence, Xue Qinghe said calmly, "Since you say that Qian Renxue is so powerful, and you were able to defeat her, wouldn't you be even more powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan waved his hands repeatedly and continued to complain, "Brother Xue, you don't know this, but I was greatly exhausted after this battle. Don't be fooled by my current appearance; I won't be able to use my soul power for at least six months. Don't let this slip to me."

Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe glanced at Gu Xuan without showing any emotion, thinking to himself, "Is it really that serious?"

However, Xue Qinghe nodded afterward. After all, Gu Xuan was only level 56, but he was able to unleash strength that surpassed his own full power, so such an outcome was to be expected.

Thinking of this, Xue Qinghe felt even more confident about winning the three-year agreement. If Gu Xuan couldn't use his soul power for half a year, wouldn't he only have two and a half years to cultivate?

Xue Qinghe calmly touched the soul tool on his right wrist. As long as he went back and absorbed this piece of right leg bone, his strength would definitely increase again. He would work hard to cultivate in the future and try to absorb the other pieces.

When the three-year agreement is up, I'll beat Gu Xuan to a pulp and then keep this brat by my side. After all, I've only met one person who is both nice-talking and good-looking.

Seeing that Xue Qinghe still couldn't believe it, Gu Xuan nodded seriously and said, "What do you think? So, Brother Xue, aren't you going to offer your little brother something good as compensation? I was seriously injured for the honor of our Heavenly Dou Empire, you can't let your little brother down."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, Xue Qinghe had an ominous premonition for some reason. This was really getting him into trouble.

How many treasures does the Heavenly Dou Empire still possess? Even if it does, would Gu Xuan even consider those ordinary treasures? Would he have to give up his own possessions in return?

...............

An hour later, after a deep conversation with Brother Xue, Gu Xuan left the Crown Prince's carriage and returned to his own.

Besides Gu Xuan, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were also in the carriage. To ensure the safety of Gu Xuan and his group, Ning Fengzhi moved into Gu Xuan's carriage.

Seeing Gu Xuan return, Ning Fengzhi asked, "How is it? Qinghe's health is much better now, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuanxian said speechlessly, "Uncle, you are Brother Xue's teacher, after all. You don't go to see her yourself, what kind of behavior is it to make me go?"

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand dismissively and replied, "Xiao Xuan, with your current talent and strength, you'll probably be standing at the top of the continent in less than twenty years. Given my current relationship with Qinghe, I'll be too embarrassed to face him in the future, so it's best to reduce contact with him in the future."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Gu Xuan was speechless. Sure enough, no merchant is a good person.

However, Gu Xuan thought to himself, "No, no, no, please don't think like that. You won't feel so guilty after you find out the identity of your precious disciple."

In fact, Ning Fengzhi still had a master-disciple relationship with Xue Qinghe, although he initially accepted Xue Qinghe as his disciple out of respect for Emperor Xue Ye.

However, when he later taught Xue Qinghe, Xue Qinghe's talent and aptitude truly impressed Ning Fengzhi.

Although Xue Qinghe's cultivation talent was average, she had high emotional intelligence and some skill. However, given Gu Xuan's goal of eventually annexing Tian Dou, Ning Fengzhi was now trying to minimize his meetings with Xue Qinghe to avoid feeling sorry for her later...

Chen Xin smiled and said, "You little rascal, Old Man Bones should already know you won the championship. He'll be overjoyed when he gets back!"

Gu Xuan smiled slightly: "My grandfather guards the sect all by himself, so as his grandson, I have to bring him some gifts back with me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi remembered that Gu Xuan still had three soul bones. Gu Xuan had been cultivating and recovering, so they hadn't had much interaction. Now that the topic had come up, Ning Fengzhi naturally wanted to inquire about it.

"Xiao Xuan, how do you plan to distribute those three soul bones?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

Gu Xuan had already decided on the distribution of the soul bones and had no intention of hiding anything. He said directly, "I plan to give the Wisdom Skull to Yan Zi, the Flame Right Arm to Zuo Yan, and the Wind Chaser Left Leg to Zhu Zhuqing."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's allocation, Ning Fengzhi thought about it. Although he really wanted to give the Wisdom Skull to Ning Rongrong, Gu Xuan's allocation was indeed not a problem.

Ning Rongrong, as a support-type Soul Master, can provide more precise support to her teammates once her mental strength is enhanced, but Dugu Yan, as a control-type Soul Master, is also very suitable.

As for the other two pieces, they were given to Zuo Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, naturally because they were a good fit. Zuo Yan, needless to say, was originally part of the team that Gu Xuan was training.

Zhu Zhuqing was originally from Shrek Academy and didn't have much of an emotional connection with them, but unfortunately, she's now with Gu Xuan.

Which of Gu Xuan's women wasn't exceptionally talented? Although Zhu Zhuqing broke through to the Soul Sect at the age of fourteen, her talent was still far inferior to others. Now that she had this Soul Bone, she could keep up with everyone else and not fall behind.

As for why the Royal Fighting Team members weren't given the opportunity, Ning Fengzhi had no doubts or objections whatsoever.

Although Gu Xuan had been with them for three years and they had developed a brotherly bond, they were still outsiders, and they hadn't contributed much to the competition.

As for the idea that they would be unhappy, that's not actually the case, because they have received too much from Gu Xuan, even exceeding the value of a single soul bone.

Take Yu Tianheng for example. Without Gu Xuan, he would be at most level 40 or so now. After all, Yu Tianheng's talent is actually quite similar to that of his cousin Yu Tianxin, who is only level 44 now.

Yu Tianheng had already broken through to the Soul King level, and the others were all high-level Soul Masters, just one step away from becoming Soul Kings. They were grateful to Gu Xuan, so how could they possibly turn against him over this matter?

Of course, they also hoped to obtain the soul bone, but they wouldn't dare to hope for it if they didn't get it, since they had already received too much from Gu Xuan.

P.S.: Typos will be corrected first and then fixed later.
