The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 157 The Pre-selected Soul Bone

"What are you looking at?" Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, sensing Li Xun's gaze.

Li Xun chuckled without replying, then stepped forward and took the papal decree in her hand: "Sister Xue, is this the legendary papal decree?"

"What? You want it?" Qian Renxue looked at Li Xun with a half-smile.

"If you insist on giving it to me, that's not impossible," Li Xun said, toying with the papal decree and grinning.

"This thing symbolizes the Pope's authority. Holding it is equivalent to the Pope's personal presence. You're on my side now, so holding it is useless."

Qian Renxue shook her head: "Besides, doesn't the teacher still have one?"

"How is it useless? Didn't Yu Xiaogang use it to bully others for a while? I don't use it in Wuhun City or by the Pope's side." Li Xun and Qian Renxue held different views.

"Besides, what belongs to the teacher is still the teacher's. You'll be the Pope sooner or later, so what difference does it make whether I get this token a day earlier or a day later?"

Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, then said, "I can give you the token, but you have to promise me you won't use it for anything bad."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't use it to bully ordinary people." Seeing Qian Renxue nod, Li Xun quickly put the Pope's Decree into his soul tool.

After all, bullying ordinary people is not as interesting as bullying Yu Xiaogang.

"Satisfied now?" Qian Renxue chuckled, seeing Li Xun's obvious fear that she would take back the token. "Then why don't you get to work?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The Papal Palace in Wuhun City.

Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed to Bibi Dong: "Your Majesty, Yu Xiaogang said that the blueprints were drawn by his disciple and have nothing to do with him, so they cannot be provided to our Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong, who was resting her chin on her hand and deep in thought on the papal throne, glanced at Chrysanthemum Douluo with surprise upon hearing this: "You asked him directly?"

"No, I originally wanted to buy it myself, but Yu Xiaogang was adamant," Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head and quickly explained.

"Alright then, let's leave it at that." Bibi Dong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then sighed.

She knew Yu Xiaogang's stubborn temper and knew that even if she forced him, he wouldn't change anything. Besides, hidden weapons weren't anything too powerful, and whether they were there or not wouldn't affect her plans.

"How's Xiaoxue doing?"

"Your Majesty, the young master's anger may have subsided. He was still shouting about killing Yu Xiaogang a while ago, but he may have calmed down by now," Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled.

"That's good." Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, then slowly stood up: "Tomorrow is the preliminary round of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament. Go to Curry and get the soul bones I selected in advance, then announce the champion's reward to the public."

"Your Majesty, although Nana and the others are very talented, isn't this too risky? I've heard that the talents of the next generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are no weaker than theirs."

Chrysanthemum Douluo hesitated slightly as he recalled the rumors he had heard in Heaven Dou City recently.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong chuckled and said, "Hehe, Yue Guan, you underestimate Nana and the others. Just recently, she, Xie Yue, and Yan all broke through to the Soul King realm."

"I'm only taking out these three soul bones this time to go through the motions. After all, they are still young. If I were to give them the soul bones directly, some people would inevitably be dissatisfied."

"Your Majesty is wise and far-sighted. I think these children will be grateful for your kindness when they hear this news." Chrysanthemum Douluo forced a smile, while a faint bitterness rose in his heart.

What is most important for a Soul Master? A Soul Ring and a Soul Bone. We won't go into detail about Soul Rings since everyone's potential and physique are different, but Soul Bones are something that everyone can absorb.

Nowadays, even children who are still in their infancy can be granted soul bones, while he and Old Ghost have served the Spirit Hall for so many years and have never received a single soul bone as a reward.

The only piece of soul bone was obtained by the old ghost himself, which is heartbreaking to think about.

Chrysanthemum Douluo, being a titled cultivator, was only affected by his complicated thoughts for a moment: "Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Bibi Dong waved her hand with her eyes closed, then remembered something: "By the way, how's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doing lately? Have they let go of Yu Xiaogang's matter yet?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo secretly glanced at Bibi Dong: "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hasn't made any moves recently. It seems they've let the matter drop after receiving compensation."

"Alright, you can go now."

Bibi Dong nodded: "After you return to Tian Dou, you should continue to keep an eye on the movements of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and remind Xiao Xue if necessary."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed and slowly took his leave.

After leaving the main hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo looked back at the hall, which symbolized the Pope's majesty, and sighed heavily.

The Academic Committee of Tiandou Royal Academy.

At this moment, Li Xun and his team members were listening to the teachings of the three instructors.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

But what was called instruction was actually more like a complaint, because Meng Shenji and the other two were tearfully trying to persuade Li Xun not to act impulsively.

The reason for this situation is entirely due to the skyrocketing presence of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Li Xun within the Heaven Dou Empire.

It is widely rumored that Li Xun is the Little National Preceptor of the Heavenly Dou Kingdom.

"Xiao Xun, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy has never won the Soul Master Competition. Grandpa Meng knows you are talented and strong, but it would be better if you hid your strength and wait until the finals to make a name for yourself."

Meng Shenji, his face full of worry, slowly extended his palm: "Three sessions, a full three sessions! It's not easy to have a group of geniuses like you in this year's Heavenly Battle. Now that Team Two has disbanded, can you guys be a little more careful?"

"Yes! Xiao Xun, you can become famous just as much after you win the championship." Bai Baoshan and Zhilin nodded in agreement.

"Grandpa Meng, don't panic." Li Xun and his teammates exchanged smiles: "I assure you, the championship of this year's All-Continent Soul Master Competition will definitely belong to our academy."

"Sigh!" Meng Shenji shook his head and sighed deeply: "Xiao Xun, this is a competition for the entire continent. There are countless strong people and geniuses in it. You should be patient and consider it as gathering information on your opponents in advance."

"Collecting information? Grandpa Meng, maybe we've done a good job of keeping things secret, so you don't know our strength." Li Xun laughed and turned to look at his team members: "Brothers, show your martial spirits and let the Education Commissioners see what we're made of."

As soon as the words were spoken, a group of students, led by Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing, all had four spirit rings under their feet, each a different color.

"If that's not enough, take another look." Seeing that Meng Shenji and the others were unmoved, five spirit rings slowly appeared beneath Li Xun's feet.

When Li Xun's third and fourth spirit rings appeared, Meng Shenji and the others didn't react much. After all, they already knew that Li Xun's fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year configuration, and their surprise threshold had long passed.

But when Li Xun's fifth ten-thousand-year soul ring appeared, Meng Shenji, Zhilin, and Bai Baoshan could no longer sit still.

Meng Shenji jumped to his feet, his beard trembling, and said, "Xiao Xun, you actually broke through to the Soul King realm!"

"He's a Soul King whose every Soul Ring surpasses the limit," Bai Baoshan added, his eyes wide.

Zhilin laughed heartily: "This isn't just surpassing the limit, it's the limit within the limit."
