Chapter 97: Chapter 97 - Tang Hao, your wife is in my hands!
As time passed, the opening of the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Competition drew closer.
All academies were intensifying the training of their students.
Yu Xiaowei, who had been absent for a long time, also returned to Lanba Academy and participated in the team's training.
However, unlike other academy main players who trained with substitutes, Lanba's team training involved everyone except Yu Xiaowei fighting against him together.
Even Yu Tianheng, whose soul power had reached level 41—
With the help of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, Oscar's boosting sausages, and Dugu Yan's control—still ended up getting beaten to the floor by Yu Xiaowei.
They couldn't even force Yu Xiaowei's martial soul to appear.
Under such high-intensity training...
Half a year later, Yu Tianheng and Ning Rongrong both reached level 43.
Dugu Yan also reached level 40, and Dugu Bo was preparing to take her to the Sunset Forest to hunt for a soul ring.
Among the others, Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar reached level 38.
What was surprising was Tai Long. Known as the team member with the worst talent in the Blue Tyrant team,
After being replaced by Yu Xiaoxue last time, he trained hard and advanced to level 39—faster than Zhu Zhuqing and Oscar, who had eaten immortal grass.
At first, Liu Erlong had only hoped to have one or two Soul Masters before the Elite Soul Master Competition.
But now it seemed likely that they would all be Soul Masters by then.
However, since all the major academies had blocked information about their students and never made it public,
The Blue Tyrant Academy knew nothing about the others, nor did anyone know about their own rapidly increasing strength.
Yu Xiaowei felt very relaxed about the Elite Soul Master Competition.
His only real opponents were the Golden Generation from the Spirit Hall Academy.
Last time in the palace, he tricked Yan.
He was sure there were Spirit Hall spies around Emperor Xue Ye.
He had no idea how they would deal with Yan once this information reached Spirit Hall.
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest—
Yu Luomian led people to search inch by inch.
He clearly remembered the place Yu Xiaowei mentioned:
A valley surrounded by mountains, with a large waterfall about 20 meters wide.
The waterfall fell vertically for 200 meters, with a large, clear pool below it.
Behind the waterfall was a strange Blue Silver Grass—Blue Silver Grass with fine golden streaks on its leaves.
Yu Xiaowei's exact words were:
"Father, you must find that Blue Silver Grass and bring it back to the clan."
"But be careful not to kill it during the transplanting process."
"With that thing, I have a way to trade it for a 100,000-year-old soul bone."
Yu Luomian didn't know where Yu Xiaowei got this information, nor did he know if the plant could really be traded for a 100,000-year soul bone.
From afar—
Yu Luomian devoured the soul beast meat in his hand in just two bites, then rushed toward the sound.
Behind the waterfall, he found a mechanism.
It was a very simple mechanism—its only advantage was how well-hidden it was.
After Yu Luomian activated it, a piece of stone collapsed, revealing a cave.
Inside the cave—
The Blue Silver Grass with golden edges on its leaves swayed gently. Upon sensing their arrival, it actually emitted a sense of fear.
There was no soul power fluctuation, but it had strong emotions.
Yu Xiaowei was right. This was indeed the strange Blue Silver Grass.
"We finally found it!"
Yu Luomian was overwhelmed with joy.
He quickly instructed everyone to carefully dig up the Blue Silver Grass and transplant it into a prepared flowerpot.
Just as everyone was about to leave joyfully, a rumbling voice echoed from all directions:
"Humans, drop the king!"
A strong mental shock hit them. Several soul emperors accompanying Yu Luomian fainted on the spot.
The ground began to shake, and trees in the distance snapped like toothpicks—as if something massive was charging toward them.
Even though it was still hundreds of miles away, Yu Luomian could already feel its immense rage.
He remembered the soul beast Yu Xiaowei had mentioned:
The 80,000-year-old Blue Silver King—
In the Star Dou Great Forest, this was a plant-type soul beast's territory.
This creature was not to be trifled with.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, escape was the best.
Five days later—
While Yu Xiaowei was training at the academy, he received news from the family.
Yu Luomian had returned.
And brought a message:
"The item is in hand."
Yu Xiaowei was ecstatic and rushed back to the clan.
In Yu Yuanzhen's study,
Yu Xiaowei finally saw the Blue Silver Emperor.
As it gave him a strange smile, both Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian asked in unison:
"Xiaowei, what is this? Why did you say it can be exchanged for a 100,000-year soul bone?"
When the Blue Silver Emperor heard about the soul bone, it began swaying wildly, as if trying to escape.
This odd reaction shocked Yu Yuanzhen and the others.
A Blue Silver Grass without soul power—not even a soul beast—actually had self-awareness.
Yu Xiaowei looked at the swaying Blue Silver Emperor and smiled.
"She's the wife of Clear Sky Douluo."
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast—Blue Silver Emperor."
"Uncle, father—what do you think? Can I trade this thing for Clear Sky Douluo's 100,000-year soul bone?"
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
No soldiers lost, not a drop of blood spilled, yet a 100,000-year soul bone might be within reach.
What a deal.
Three days later—
A young man with tri-colored afro hair (red, yellow, and blue) arrived at the gate of the Clear Sky Sect.
The guards recognized him as the Titled Douluo who once sent back their Seventh Elder.
They respectfully saluted Dugu Bo and invited him inside.
Dugu Bo shook his head, pulled out a letter, and handed it to the gatekeepers.
"This letter was asked to be delivered by Yue Guan, Ju Douluo from Spirit Hall."
"He said it should only be given to Tang Hao."
"As for why he didn't come himself—it's because he's afraid of being beaten to death by your Clear Sky Douluo on the spot."
"So he asked me to deliver it for him."
"Well, that's all. Go and tell Tang Hao."
Then Dugu Bo left.
When the letter reached Tang Hao, he hesitantly opened it.
The contents were very simple—
A leaf of Blue Silver Grass with golden edges, and a short message:
"Tang Hao, your wife is in my hands. Exchange her for your 100,000-year soul bone. I'll wait for you in Heaven Dou City."
