"Has anything happened at the academy during this time?"
By the Sea God Lake, Chen Junting held Ning Tian's hand, strolling along the path. When their eyes met, he asked softly.
"There are actually two things."
"The first matter is that the Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy sent people to negotiate and sign an agreement with the academy. They said that in a year and a half, both sides will conduct an exchange program lasting three years. At that time, each side will send ten exchange students to study with each other."
"Yuhao was selected."
Ning Tian nodded slightly. "He was the first one chosen."
"That's good then." With thoughts flowing, it was unclear what Chen Junting was thinking. "The Sun Moon Imperial Soul Engineering Academy is better than us in soul master cultivation and soul guide device technology. Having Yuhao study there would be beneficial."
Ning Tian kicked a stone by her feet into the water.
"They won't teach everything."
"Then we'll poach people."
Chen Junting's tone was very confident. "With the right incentives, someone will always bite. If people from the Sun Moon Empire are hard to poach, then we'll target people from the original three Douluo nations. Someone will be tempted."
Ning Tian naturally had no objections to this.
After all, even Ninth-grade soul masters with Sun Moon Empire citizenship would betray their country for benefits, let alone others.
"Then I'll have the sect provide Yuhao with operational funds later. The second matter happened over a month ago—the Body Sect launched a surprise attack on the academy."
Chen Junting's footsteps didn't pause, his expression showing no change. "It was probably after Yuhao again. That's the Body Sect's style. But with Elder Mu present, they were destined to return empty-handed."
"Actually, it's quite amusing."
Ning Tian's face suddenly showed an amused expression. "At that time, the Body Sect publicly claimed they would forcefully take Yuhao, but secretly sent several Body Sect members to infiltrate the academy to find him. In the end, senior brother Xu was tragically captured, and under Lang Ya's hypnosis, revealed that Yuhao was in the Sea God Pavilion. Then an elder named Jin Peng, at Level 96, infiltrated..."
"And was caught red-handed by Elder Mu."
Without Ning Tian continuing, Chen Junting already knew how it ended. Even if that Body Sect elder's combat power could rival a Level 97 Super Douluo when fully unleashed, infiltrating the Sea God Pavilion meant operating right under a Limit Douluo's nose. Not being discovered would have been the strange part.
"The Body Sect won't give up."
Hearing this, Ning Tian nodded. "So after that happened, I immediately sent the news to the Nine Treasures Pavilion, and had them relay it to the sect. But you can't guard against thieves forever."
"Yuhao still needs to become strong himself."
Chen Junting gently squeezed Ning Tian's soft hand, speaking softly.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Tian. I plan to fuse this soul bone tonight. At that time, I'll trouble you to guard me."
Ning Tian smiled brightly. "Alright."
"By the way, senior brother Bei Bei told me that after your closed-door cultivation ends, we should gather at the mansion in Shrek City."
"That will have to wait until tomorrow."
...
"Brother Junting, are you sure you won't wait until becoming a Titled Douluo to absorb it? Doing it now, won't it be too dangerous?"
"Don't worry. I've now comprehended the Seven Kill Domain and Slaughter Sword Intent. As for the condition of having killing intent, I've already fulfilled that."
"Xiao Tian, I trouble you."
In dormitory 161, Chen Junting's gaze met Ning Tian's beside him. After she nodded seriously, Chen Junting took out a soul guide device, injected soul power into it, and a soul guide barrier instantly appeared, enveloping Chen Junting alone.
Then, Chen Junting's hand swept over his storage soul guide device again. After a flash of light, a soul-sealing soul guide device appeared in his hand, and his expression instantly turned solemn.
The moment the soul-sealing soul guide device slowly opened, a strong evil intent flowed out from the gap, not only startling Ning Tian through the soul guide barrier, but also awakening Electrolux in his sea of consciousness, who had originally planned to rest for a while.
"Another god's handiwork?"
"No, just a remnant of divine nature."
In the completely opened soul-sealing soul guide device, a perfectly intact left leg bone floated above it. But that faint greenish light emitted a soul-stirring, terrifying energy.
Clearly, this was a soul bone of excellent quality.
Although it only came from a fifty-thousand-year Green Demon Bird, its true value far exceeded that of ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul bones. Because this soul bone was a legacy from ten thousand years ago.
Originally, it was Chen Xin's left leg bone.
But after the god war, Chen Xin perished. Facing the might of Gods, his sword broke and his bones were mostly shattered. Even the indestructible soul bones on his body were blasted into powder by the terrifying energy. Only the final left leg bone somehow survived unscathed, and was transformed by being infused with Asura divine nature.
Finally, it was passed down like this.
Since this soul bone being infused with Asura divine nature wasn't a bad thing, Ning Rongrong and Oscar, who became gods ten thousand years ago, didn't overly process it. They only reduced the influence of Asura divine nature to the minimum level that non-gods could bear.
But even so, only extraordinary people could bear this soul bone, so it had always been enshrined under Chen Xin's statue.
However, after multiple tests by the sect, they discovered that those with deeper killing intent had stronger tolerance for this soul bone. So whenever the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had someone with heavy killing intent break through to Titled Douluo, they would bestow this soul bone upon them.
Over ten thousand years, under the nourishment of predecessors, the negative effects of this left leg bone gradually diminished, but the quality of the soul bone didn't decline—in fact, it kept improving.
Now, it has been passed to Chen Junting. Who, when comparing killing intent, could surpass him who possessed the Seven Kill Domain?
But even so, absorbing this soul bone required utmost caution!
Chen Junting took a deep breath, calming his restless mind before slowly raising his right hand to touch this left leg bone filled with Asura divine nature.
The moment his fingertips touched the left leg bone, the ghastly green light on the soul bone suddenly erupted with dazzling brilliance.
Instantly, Chen Junting's eyes turned completely red!
At this moment, a special power began circulating throughout Chen Junting's body, while a killing-filled evil intent instantly assaulted his spirit.
His eyes bulged, sweat beads covering his forehead.
But the next second, "Hum—"
Like a sword hum trembling softly, a sharp killing sword intent suddenly rose from Chen Junting's sea of consciousness, fiercely slashing at that roaming killing evil intent in his sea of consciousness!
Simultaneously, the Seven Kill Domain activated! A white current surged from him as the center, spreading outward and transforming into colorless waves. Even the soul guide barrier couldn't block the domain's expansion.
Outside the soul guide barrier, Ning Tian watched Chen Junting with worry.
But soon, Ning Tian felt her strength suddenly increase. Realizing it was the domain's ability, her worry deepened because she felt brother Junting had already used all his means.
Just at this moment, "What a fine soul bone."
Chen Junting's eyes had already regained clarity. This relieved the deeply concerned Ning Tian, and she unconsciously let out a breath of relief.
Then, he placed the soul bone against his left leg.
"Hum—"
The ghastly green light erupted. With his left leg trembling slightly, the left leg bone silently transformed into a warm current that flowed into it.
While feeling the Asura divine nature, Chen Junting guided the soul bone's soul power to circulate within his body. Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds from his bones, an indescribable feeling spread from his left leg throughout his entire body, and his cultivation rapidly climbed.
Under the impact of Asura divine nature and soul bone energy, Chen Junting's meridians were once again widened and became increasingly tough.
As the soul bone fused, time flew by quickly.
Chen Junting remained completely immersed in comprehending the Asura divine nature and soul power circulation, oblivious to the outside world.
At the same time, in the sea of consciousness, seeing this scene, Electrolux slowly put away his staff, and his figure also disappeared.
