Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

In the end, Tang San accepted the soul bone under Chen Luo's resolute gaze.

Chen Luo smiled with satisfaction and then silently waited for the system notification to arrive.

However, after a short while, he received no response whatsoever.

"Did I trigger the system's malicious gifting mechanism? Or did I lose this gamble?"

Chen Luo felt slightly disappointed; he preferred the former to the latter.

Chen Luo was even thinking of exploiting a bug at this point. If Tang San suddenly wanted to return the soul bone, he would accept it without hesitation and give it to Yu Xiuyuan after meeting up with him, since Yu Xiuyuan seemed to have a higher drop rate.

However, Tang San did not speak again.

Furthermore, if Chen Luo really did that, he would probably be punished by the system.

“Go back and rest. You can also study the soul bone when you have time. But you must remember that although the soul bone is good, the most important thing is that it is suitable. You can do what you just said and ask Ning Rongrong to see if you can exchange your soul bone. This may be another good opportunity for you.”

Chen Luo smiled and instructed, "If you encounter any problems, feel free to contact me. Try to avoid being alone in the future to prevent further danger. You don't need to worry about me while I'm at the academy."

Tang San nodded vigorously and bowed, saying, "Thank you so much, teacher!!!"

However, Tang San did not leave immediately. Instead, he first put away the soul bone, then took out a black cylindrical iron box about the thickness of a thumb and said respectfully, "Teacher, this is a hidden weapon I made called the Yama's Decree. If used properly, it can instantly kill a Soul Saint!"

As he spoke, Tang San opened the black cylindrical iron box, revealing poison needles gleaming with a cold light.

Chen Luo shook his head decisively: "You should keep this good stuff for yourself. It looks like it requires a lot of skill to operate. The hidden weapons you gave to the teacher are still beyond the teacher's understanding."

"Teacher!" Tang San said earnestly.

Chen Luo also said seriously, "Take it back!"

"As you just saw, with my current strength, a Soul Saint is nothing to me, and I'm not without a fighting chance against even a Soul Douluo. You need this life-saving item even more!"

Seeing Chen Luo's resolute attitude, Tang San finally withdrew the Yama's Decree, his eyes already reddening.

"Teacher, you're so good to me!" Tang San bowed again.

Chen Luo quickly helped Tang San up and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Go back and rest."

Tang San nodded and left.

As Chen Luo watched Tang San's departing figure, a moment of guilt washed over him.

Tang San truly regarded him as a teacher, but he treated Tang San as a tool.

But then I thought about it again. I wasn't bad to Tang San either. Besides, there's no such thing as a "tool." All the good stuff still ended up in Tang San's hands. It just gave me more opportunities to get more resources. It's a win-win situation.

Chen Luo comforted herself in this way.

But soon Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "I actually lost the bet..."

If you lose the bet, you lose the bet. At least you got a glimpse of what Shi Nian's soul bone looked like.

Chen Luo used to remember that Shi Nian's soul bone was his left arm soul bone, but he didn't know if it was because of a bug fix. When he read Douluo later, Shi Nian's soul bone became his skull, but the skull seemed to make more sense.

Chen Luo quickly composed himself and headed towards his wooden house.

As Chen Luo approached the wooden house, he smelled a faint fragrance. Stepping inside, the fragrance became even stronger.

It seems that once a woman enters the house, there will always be a pleasant fragrance.

After that night, Chen Luo lived with Liu Erlong.

The wooden house was clean and tidy, clearly tidied up by Liu Erlong. There were also potted plants and succulents by the window, and the presence of these small items made the place feel more like a home, rather than just a simple dwelling.

"The matter of Shi Nian has been resolved, and a soul bone has been obtained. However, it is estimated that the battle just now will attract the investigation of the Heaven Dou City Guard. But their investigation will be useless, as Shi Nian's body has been completely destroyed. Trying to find out the truth based on those few clues is just wishful thinking. This matter is considered to be over."

"After that, the little monsters only need to win the preliminaries, and they should be facing Blazing Academy, one of the five elemental academies, soon."

Chen Luo thought to himself, sat on the bed, and then took out relevant information about Blazing Fire Academy from the Divine Dragon Space to review. He then combined this with his knowledge of the plot to devise tactics for the little monsters in advance.

Just then, a crisp notification sound suddenly rang in Chen Luo's mind—the long-awaited system notification.

"Ding!"

[You gifted a soul bone to Tang San... successfully triggered the 100x apprenticeship reward, obtaining the Dragon Skull!]

Chen Luo was completely stunned.

Chapter 176 Battle against Blazing Academy

I actually won the bet and even triggered a 100x return?

Chen Luo swallowed hard, then immediately checked the information on the dragon skull—

【Dragon Skull】(Special - Soul Bone)

Lifespan: Three million years.

Soul Bone Skills: Dragon's Gaze, Unlocked, Unlocked, Unlocked.

Note: The dragon's skull is neither the bone of a divine dragon nor the bone of the Dragon King.

Note: Special items cannot be given away as gifts.

Note: The use of special items is not limited by strength.

Note: This special item requires you to increase your strength to unlock its power.

Despite some limitations, Chen Luo was still very excited and happy after reading about the Dragon Skull.

"A soul bone three million years old!!!"

Chen Luo's heart was pounding, and he was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Calm down! Calm down! Let's absorb the dragon skull first!"

Chen Luo walked out of the wooden house, and after confirming that no one was around, he immediately returned to the wooden house and took out the dragon skull.

The dragon skull was golden in color and exuded a very unique aura. Chen Luo only glanced at it before immediately choosing to absorb it.

Should we use the Dragon Skull?

Although the dragon skull is a soul bone, it is also a special item rewarded by the system, as the system has provided a hint about.

Chen Luo immediately chose yes, and the absorption process of the soul bone began.

In less than ten minutes, Chen Luo completed the absorption, a speed that surprised even himself. In addition, his soul power level increased by one level.

"It's so cool that the use of special items is not limited by strength. The absorption process was so smooth and enjoyable. My soul power level has even increased by one level. I feel like I can now crush Soul Douluo. I can even fight against ordinary Title Douluo."

Chen Luo's face was full of smiles, but because he had absorbed the Dragon Skull and was influenced by it, his heart had gradually calmed down.

After successfully absorbing the dragon skull, Chen Luo also obtained information about the soul skills carried by the soul bone.

Dragon's Gaze is a mental attack soul skill. As long as the target makes eye contact, it can release an extremely powerful mental impact, which will cause great damage to Soul Douluos and also cause some damage to Title Douluos.

Since there was no experimental target, Chen Luo could only roughly estimate its power.

Of course, this is the most conservative estimate. The true power of Dragon's Gaze will only be greater, after all, it is a soul skill from a three-million-year-old soul bone.

"I have more and more cards to play now, but I still need to work hard to fully unlock most of them."

"The sealed Dragon Hand, the Time Domain - Fragment, the Sword Without a Master, and the newly acquired Dragon Skull all require certain conditions to unlock. Among them, the Dragon Skull's condition is the simplest, requiring only continuous improvement of strength. The Sword Without a Master is next; obtaining the blood of a 100,000-year-old soul beast is relatively easy, but acquiring the soul of a peak Douluo is somewhat difficult. The others are even more challenging..."

Chen Luo made a simple summary in his mind, then opened his personal panel—

Host: Chen Luo.

Current identity: Yu Xiaogang.

Martial Soul: Golden Luo Three Cannons.

Martial Soul Level: SS.

Soul Power Level: Level 63.

Soul Ring Combinations: 100 years, 100 years, 1000 years, 10, ...0,000 years.

Soul Bones: Dragon Skull (3 million years), Thunder Left Leg Bone (100,000 years), Thunder Scale (External Soul Bones).

Domains: Killing God Domain, Time Domain (incomplete).

Disciples: Tang San (S-rank), Yu Xiuyuan (A-rank), Shrek Academy (A-rank).

The information about the Dragon Skull has appeared in the Soul Bone section, and this person's stats are simply a feast for the eyes.

As Chen Luo was admiring the scenery, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Chen Luo immediately put away his personal panel and picked up the information about Blazing Fire Academy again, pretending to be studying it, but in reality, his mind was blank.

The door opened, and Liu Erlong returned. Seeing Chen Luo looking at the documents, she didn't disturb him but watched quietly from the side.

Chen Luo had lost interest in reading the documents at this point, so he simply put them into his Divine Dragon Space: "I'm back."

Liu Erlong nodded: "Mm."

After a brief greeting, Liu Erlong asked, "You left without saying goodbye, making me look for you for ages."

Chen Luo said, "I had something come up and left in a hurry, so I didn't have time to say goodbye."

"What is it?" Liu Erlong asked immediately.

Chen Luo did not hide anything and then told Tang San about his experience, even recounting the process of giving Tang San the soul bone. However, he did not mention the system, nor could he mention the system.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong said with some anger, "Back then, they were truly audacious! They were practically courting death!"

Chen Luo said calmly, "He is dead."

……

Preliminary round, eleventh round.

The spectator stands.

"Has the list of opponents for the next round been released?" Chen Luo asked Flander as he returned.

Flander nodded: "They're out, Blazing Academy."

Chen Luo: "It's finally here..."

Flander appeared calm: "This is to be expected. We at Shrek Academy will probably encounter all five elemental academies."

"Xiao Gang, how do you plan to arrange the little monsters for this competition?"

Chen Luo had regained his composure by this time: "Just play normally."
