SKULL BONE

The tournament went on but Shrek didn't appear on stage, their opponent directly forfeited, the team has won six matches in such a way. their next match is two days with a blue moon academy, The teacher leading the team was a formidable soul saint with a rare spirit. Their teacher was an old-looking man Shi Nian with the spirit called Cruel Dream, which is an unusual spirit but was formidable his spirit has the ability to causing all kinds of illusions, losing people inside. His current strength should be enough to disable and kill people just by using illusions.

Several cases of talented spirit masters doing suicide came to light, Tang Chen know it was Shi Nian behind it and he may be next target if not Tang San so he was always vigilant about it he also told his team members to be careful as anybody on the team was talented enough to attract his attention. He made sure that all team carries cluster soul chasing balls with them and told about the weapon to his team. His teammates have high spiritual power so they will casually be trapped in illusion but if soul saint deliberately came after them then the hidden weapons will be a tremendous help.

His expectations of getting attacked wasn't in vain in the evening when he was returning the academy after some errands, he suddenly felt a strong spiritual power trying to enter his mind, mot wanting to make an enemy alert he followed what enemy wanted of him and went toward the outskirt of city to a forest. He wasn't disappointed Shi Nian was there as well, waiting for him. He has the spiritual power of nearing the peak of the detailed realm and purple demon eyes were enemies of all illusions. He was never trapped in illusion but followed where the spiritual power leads to. When Shi Nian tried to use his soul skill he didn't give him a chance, he didn't want to experience a nightmare, so he throws the soul chasing balls but Shi Nian caught and started his monologue about he was impressed and will kill him brutally but that was enough the Yama poison inside the ball acted and killed the soul saint. Tang Chen didn't leave after that but was waiting for skull bone of his which he was sure Shi Nian possessed. There was the only black poisonous liquid left where Shi Nian was standing and a sparkling thing was only left there. He knows it was the thing he was waiting for he used the mystic jade hand to the fullest degree and grab that thing and pulled it out of black liquid

That was around the skull, three cun in diameter, entirely glittering with rainbow-colored light, seemingly like a shrunken human cranium. He knew that it was skull soul bone, he already decided to gift it to Rongrong as it will suit her, she was only in the team who didn't have a very offensive abilities. She was the best support there is but because of her spirit's nature, she can only play a supporting role on the team she has only spent time mastering her heart separation control method. She also has high spiritual power can use this bone's abilities to cast illusions, being a reincarnated person and a fan of anime how can he be not aware of the terrifying abilities of illusions? Itachi was the best example of how terrifying illusions can be. With the help of this bone and spiritual power, Rongrong can at least protect herself and retreat while facing strong opponents. For his soul bones, he set a limit of a minimum of 100,000-years old age. He can achieve it in his magical space.

He took the bone and returned to the academy, He then gathered the group and told them what happened. He then told about the soul bone he got. Others were surprised that he got a soul bone and didn't absorb it right away instead kept it and bring it here. He told them about how and why he planned to give this soul bone to Rongrong, others agreed to it as it was his soul bone he could have secretly given away or absorbed it but he didn't do anything of that sort. Tang Chen showing bone to them was his sign of trust toward them. They already gained a lot just by associating with him, soul bone or no other thing was worth enough for them to break his trust, and Rongrong was their teammate and she did require some abilities to face stronger opponents.

Rongrong was moved and happy that Tang Chen cared for her so much. She knew this soul bone could have helped anyone in the group as all of them have high spiritual power especially Tang brothers and Xiao Wu, but Tang Chen decided to give it to her. The soul bone was atleast from the above 30,000-year old beast and was quite expensive. Soul bones were very rare even with her background she may not get a suitable one but Tang Chen gifter her one which will suit her and will give her some protection. She walked towards Tang Chen kissed him and then sat cross-legged to absorb the bone. Others surrounded her to protect her from any disturbance during the process.

Absorption of bone took a while but was smooth she didn't gain any rank but told them it was as they expected the bone gave her ability to cast illusions powerful ones at that but to the person who has low spiritual power than her. Now she had to learn to use it effectively in battle. others were happy for her. They got back to their training for the preparation of the next match. They were very angry that the opposite academy tried to kill their friend. They were more pissed than when they were evicted from heaven dou academy. They will not going to let this slide. The students didn't know that adults were listening to them in secret and were equally pissed. Shi Nian was lucky he was dead otherwise he will have to face Shrek angry teachers. These students were their pride and anyone who dared to go against them was simply touching their reverse scale. If anything happens to any of their students these teachers will go berserk.
