Before long, the six assassins had all been dealt with. Of the five Spirit Kings, two had been killed by Ma Xiaotao, while the leader, the Spirit Emperor, had been crippled. After all, they still needed to find out who was behind this.
Su Yunlin dragged over the Spirit King assassin whose limbs had all been shattered and tossed him in front of Huo Yuhao.
"You brat, who did you offend this time? Getting hunted down already? Trouble follows you wherever you go."
Huo Yuhao looked awkward. None of this was something he could control, but he also wanted to know who was pulling the strings behind the attack. Deep down, he already had his suspicions.
Suddenly, Su Yunlin lifted his head and looked toward the sky.
Several figures were standing high above them. One of them was someone he recognized immediately—Yan Shaozhe.
"Dean, time for you to do your job!" Su Yunlin called out loudly.
The others also looked up and discovered that several of the academy's powerhouses had already arrived overhead.
Yan Shaozhe was inwardly shocked.
This kid's spiritual power is terrifying! It's already stronger than that of ordinary Spirit Douluo. Last semester he wasn't this monstrous yet, was he?
He was completely baffled. How had Su Yunlin grown this frighteningly powerful in such a short time?
Beside him, Elder Lin, the old woman, smiled faintly.
"This is exactly the kind of little monster we should be nurturing. Shaozhe, go clean this up."
Yan Shaozhe descended and looked at the surviving assassins. Spirit Power surged from his body, wrapping around them before he turned solemnly toward Huo Yuhao.
"The academy will give you a satisfactory explanation. No matter who it is, no one is allowed to harm Shrek students on Shrek territory."
Huo Yuhao was deeply moved and immediately bowed toward him.
"Thank you, Dean!"
"Yuhao, are you alright?!"
Fan Yu had arrived.
As Huo Yuhao's teacher, the distress signal flare had been given to him earlier. The moment he saw it, he rushed over at full speed. Only after seeing that Huo Yuhao was unharmed did he finally relax.
Since there was nothing else for them to do, Su Yunlin and Wang Dong left and headed straight back to their dormitory.
"Yunlin, was that Ma Xiaotao woman the same crazy lady who almost burned us alive last time?" Wang Dong asked.
"Probably. The Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul doesn't exactly leave room for mistakes. Unless the academy somehow has two Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Souls."
Su Yunlin shrugged as he wiped the bloodstains off his body. After fighting earlier, getting stained with blood and grime was unavoidable.
Wang Dong suddenly recalled the battle from earlier. Su Yunlin had subdued a Spirit King in mere moments, snapping all four of the man's limbs with ruthless decisiveness.
The sheer efficiency of it startled her.
"Yunlin… have you killed people before?"
"Yeah. A few."
His tone was calm, as though he were discussing something insignificant.
"My dad once captured several evil Spirit Masters and made me execute them personally. Said I needed to see blood early and toughen my nerves."
Wang Dong lay on the bed, replaying everything in her mind.
Ma Xiaotao. Senior Brother Bei. Senior Xu. Senior Sister Jiang Nannan.
Their combat experience had all been incredibly rich. They had managed to subdue those assassins cleanly without killing them unnecessarily.
Compared to them, she still had a very long road ahead.
After cleaning himself up, Su Yunlin walked over and sat beside her.
"Alright, stop overthinking it. Everyone grows up differently. You're obviously a little princess who was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. Things like this take time."
Wang Dong sat up and took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Yunlin. Having you around is really nice."
Then her eyes brightened.
"Now let's take a look at the Spirit Bones."
She took out the storage-type soul tool that the Clear Sky Sect member had delivered earlier. A flash of light later, two crystalline Spirit Bones appeared before them.
One was a golden crystal-like Spirit Bone radiating dragon might.
The other was pale violet, almost like carved crystal, with marrow fluid visibly flowing inside it—proof that this left arm bone possessed tremendous vitality.
Both were left arm bones.
"There's even a note here. The handwriting's all crooked and ugly. One look and I can tell it was written by my second dad."
Wang Dong picked up the note and complained.
Su Yunlin leaned closer, curious to see what kind of treasure the Titan Giant Ape had prepared.
[Left Arm Bone of Radiant Light
Age: 80,000 years
Origin: An 80,000-year-old Light Earth Dragon King. It once belonged to an elder of the Clear Sky Sect. After the elder passed away, the Spirit Bone remained unused within the sect treasury.
Effect: Enhances physical strength and light-element power.
Spirit Bone Ability: Radiant Illumination — greatly amplifies the power of light attributes while dealing devastating damage to dark and evil attributes.]
"Your second dad really treats you well."
Su Yunlin couldn't help sighing after reading the description.
"This Spirit Bone is absurdly high quality. And it came from a Light Earth Dragon King too. Both the Light Earth Dragon King and the Golden Earth Dragon King possess traces of the light dragon bloodline—they're from the same source."
Wang Dong looked delighted.
"I didn't expect Second Dad to be this generous. This Left Arm Bone of Radiant Light and the Golden Glow Left Arm Bone share the same origin. With that Secret Method Spirit Bone as the medium, the success rate for fusion should be extremely high!"
Secret Method Spirit Bones were originally developed on the Douluo Continent as fusion catalysts for combining Spirit Bones.
While the Sun Moon Continent excelled in soul tools, the accomplishments of Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent were still beyond their reach.
The Sun Moon Empire still hadn't produced a single Super Douluo. In terms of Spirit Master cultivation, they couldn't compare to the three Douluo empires at all. They could only rely on soul tools to bridge the gap.
Secret Method Spirit Bones could fuse two Spirit Bones together, though failure remained possible.
If the fusion failed, all three Spirit Bones would be destroyed.
However, the compatibility between Wang Dong's two Spirit Bones was exceptionally high. Both originated from light dragon bloodlines, making the chance of failure extremely low.
The two of them then looked toward the second Spirit Bone.
[Left Arm Bone of Death Withering
Age: 50,000 years
Origin: Hell Demon Dragon of the evil dragon clan.
Attributes: Darkness and evil.
The marrow fluid inside the Spirit Bone is still flowing, signifying extremely high vitality. This Spirit Bone is capable of evolving on its own.
Effect: Evolution. Potential to evolve into a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
Spirit Bone Ability: Death Withering.]
"Su Yunlin, this Spirit Bone suits you perfectly."
A lazy voice suddenly sounded out.
A black cat had somehow appeared, sprawled atop Su Yunlin's head.
"Hm? Dark Devilgod Tiger, you finally woke up?" Su Yunlin said as he felt the weight on his head.
"Waaah! It's so cute! Can I hold it for a bit?"
Wang Dong's eyes instantly sparkled.
The adorable appearance of the Dark Devilgod Tiger immediately melted her heart.
"That depends on it. If it wants you to touch it, then you can."
Before Su Yunlin even finished speaking, the Dark Devilgod Tiger vanished back into his body.
Clearly, it had no intention of letting anyone besides Su Yunlin touch it.
"Looks like it doesn't want you petting it."
"Hmph!"
Su Yunlin pinched Wang Dong's cheek and chuckled.
"Alright, hurry up and absorb the Spirit Bone."
Pouting, Wang Dong took out the Golden Glow Left Arm Bone they had bought earlier, while Su Yunlin retrieved the Secret Method Left Arm Bone Zhou Yi had given him before.
Wang Dong accepted the Secret Method Spirit Bone and pressed the two light-attributed left arm bones against it.
In the next instant, the two Spirit Bones began merging together.
Blinding light flooded the entire room.
Moments later, the three Spirit Bones fused completely into a single golden left arm bone.
The light-element aura and Spirit Power radiating from it were unbelievably dense, leaving both Su Yunlin and Wang Dong astonished.
"Tsk. This left arm bone is probably already comparable to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone. Once you absorb it, the effects should be incredible."
Even Su Yunlin could sense how powerful it was. Once Wang Dong absorbed it, her strength would probably soar.
"Whew… good thing it didn't fail. If the fusion had failed and all three Spirit Bones got destroyed, I would've suffered a huge loss."
She carefully held the newly fused left arm bone while handing the Hell Demon Dragon left arm bone to Su Yunlin.
"Ah, today I'm finally getting to live off Young Miss Tang's generosity. I wonder if Young Miss Tang will keep supporting me in the future?"
Su Yunlin teased with a grin.
Wang Dong planted her hands on her hips and proudly raised her chin.
"Don't worry. As long as this lady has something good, you'll always be the first person I think of!"
After joking around for a while, Su Yunlin watched as Wang Dong pressed the Spirit Bone against her left arm and began absorbing it.
