Douluo Continent: Peerless Bei Bei, Light Dragon King

Chapter 17 Fragments of a 100,000-Year-Old Soul Bone

"Luck? Luck is also a part of ability!"

"The student who spoke first, judging from where you're standing, you must be from Class 1, right?"

"Du Weilun talked to me about the free team formation before the freshmen assessment competition. Because Beibei was a transfer student, everyone felt that the team coordination was poor, so no one chose her."

"The opportunity was presented to you, but you couldn't seize it. Who can you blame?!"

He abandoned his usual gentle expression, his stern gaze sweeping over all the trainees.

"Now, who still has any objections?!"

Looking around, the few people who had been making a ruckus earlier all lowered their proud heads.

It's impossible to expect to reap the rewards without taking any risks to teamwork beforehand!

After giving Beibei an expression as if she were coming to find me in the middle of the night, I left.

Yan Shaozhe played the good cop once, and it was clear that it was not appropriate for him to immediately play the bad cop.

Seeing the atmosphere cool down, Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department, immediately stepped forward to play the bad cop.

"Students, I am Cai Meier, the vice dean of the Martial Soul Department of the academy."

"In the contest of victory and defeat, the results of gain and loss, some people are satisfied and some are not, which is only human nature."

"After venting your emotions in a reasonable way, embarking on the road to the future is the right path."

"To be humble in victory and undeterred in defeat is the kind of composure that you, who are hailed as the pride of heaven, should cultivate."

"Alright, there's not much more to say."

"Finally, I have some good news for everyone: the treasure appreciation event, organized by Jubaoge, will be held this weekend."

Merchants from all over the continent come here to trade.

"Among a vast collection of treasures, the valuable items remain hidden, and perhaps a lucky person will find something good at a low price."

"If you encounter a treasure you truly desire but are short on funds, the academy will provide a certain credit line, with core disciples receiving even more!"

Upon hearing this news, Qian Qian's eyes immediately lit up, truly living up to his auspicious name.

"Beibei, are you going or not?"

"Based on the judgment from the lucky coin, you have another extremely auspicious sign, and you are very likely to find something good."

While pondering Yan Shaozhe's expression when he came to find me in the middle of the night, Beibei subconsciously responded.

"I won't be going. Have fun, everyone."

"Hmm... okay!"

After spending a few days together, he roughly understood Beibei's personality. This tone meant she must have something to take care of.

As a responsible team member, the best thing to do at this time is not to disturb him.

So, he poured all the extra words out onto Wu Yan.

"Hey!"

"Don't be discouraged. You just set your goals too high, and you don't have the ability or talent to back it up, so you messed up."

"Come with me to Jubaoge this weekend for a treasure appreciation event."

"Perhaps I can find a treasure that can improve my talent or speed up my soul power cultivation."

Trying to hide the dejected look on his face, Wu Yan hesitated and said, "I'm not sure whether I'll go or not right now. Let's talk about it later."

In short, the classics are postponed until later to make a decision, and then he returns to a state of silence, as if he is worried and pondering something.

Seeing that neither of them had any desire to chat, Qian Qian decided to go directly to the academy teacher to exchange for his second soul ring.

This is the office of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department at Shrek Academy.

Beibei pushed open the door, which had been left ajar, and chuckled, "Teacher Yan, is there some reward that hasn't been given to the champion of the freshman assessment yet?"

"Or is it because of Xiao Tao's matter that you want to express your special gratitude to me?"

As he spoke, he casually opened the third drawer of the cabinet, took out a packet of fine fresh tea, and brewed a cup for himself and Yan Shaozhe.

He put down the documents in his hand, took a small sip of tea, and looked at Beibei, who was already showing promise.

He said, "You have both. With your talent, it won't be long before your cultivation surpasses Xiao Tao's."

"In the future, she will not need to worry too much about the evil fire affecting her mind and cultivation speed."

"I feel very reassured entrusting her to you as her master."

Beibei: "!!!"

What do you mean by "hand it over to me"?! What's the point of having you as the master then?! Just to be displayed as a mascot?!

A sense of sarcasm began to sprout in his heart as he recalled the delicate and pretty face of the girl in red and her actions on the Soul Arena.

The moment the index finger touched Yan Shaozhe's nostril, it was immediately slapped away by him, who had a dark expression on his face.

"I'm not entrusting my child to someone else; I'm far from dying of old age!"

"Moreover, this matter will also benefit you. In twenty or thirty years, when you inherit the position of teacher and become the helmsman of the academy, you will always need someone to help you."

"Although Xiao Tao's talent is not as good as yours and Xiao Lexuan's, it is only inferior to the two of you."

Without much thought, Beibei agreed.

Ma Xiaotao has been cultivating with him and Zhang Lexuan for many days, and they will most likely continue to work together in the future, which is no different from what Yan Shaozhe said.

At least in general, there is no difference.

As for minor differences? Let's find common ground while respecting differences.

After reaching a consensus on the first issue, Yan Shaozhe immediately moved on to the second topic.

"As for the extra reward for the freshman assessment champion, there is one every year, and this year will be no exception."

Over the years, the rewards have been nothing more than pills and gold soul coins. Rare rewards include soul bones with a lifespan of less than a thousand years and soul power infusions.

But if that's the case, it doesn't seem worth the dean mentioning it specifically.

"I'm sure you'll be interested in this reward."

What kind of reward would interest me?

"A 100,000-year-old soul bone from the Golden Earth Dragon King, in the academy's collection?"

Yan Shaozhe affirmed Bei Bei's assessment: "Pretty much."

"It's a fragment of the soul bone of a 100,000-year-old golden earth dragon king!"

Beibei: "???"

"Fragments?!"

"yes!"

"To be more precise, this award is given every year, as long as you get first place by a wide margin in all the assessments in the Foreign Languages ​​Department."

"At that time, I can propose to the Sea God Pavilion that I give you the 100,000-year-old soul bone as a reward."

"Given your relationship with the senior elders, and with sufficient reasons to push for it, even if the teacher wanted to be impartial, he couldn't stop you."

"Uh... I thought you'd just give it to me directly?"

Yan Shaozhe: "..."

"If I had the right to decide, I would definitely give you the 100,000-year-old soul bone directly."

"But I don't have that right."

"You often visit the Sea God Pavilion's collection room, so you should know very well that the academy doesn't have many 100,000-year-old soul bones; most of them are fused into the elders."

"A soul bone that's ten thousand years old—it's coveted by countless people, and many theoretical research professors have borrowed it for study."

"If you are forced to merge for no reason, even if no one says it outright, many people will be dissatisfied, and it will be a loss of prestige for you when you inherit the position of teacher."

Beibei understood what he said, and it made sense, but...

"It's a bit slow in terms of time."

Upon hearing this, Yan Shaozhe glanced at him speechlessly.

"That's already very fast!"

"Even if your martial soul has the ultimate attributes, your cultivation speed will slow down after level 30. But at most, you can participate in the inner court assessment in three or four years."

"Are you unable to distinguish between pretense and reality? By then, you'll be at most ten years old!"

Beibei: "..."

It was a bit too hasty, but time waits for no one!

Without sufficient strength, the elders will not let him leave the academy, and he will not be able to seize opportunities on the continent.

He really didn't want to wait that long!

With the CPU spinning at high speed, Beibei came up with a great idea!
