Chapter 61: A Thrilled Heart, Trembling Hands

Chapter 62: A Thrilled Heart, Trembling Hands

Zhao Wuji was a bit puzzled. Why wasn't Dai Mubai spending the evening with Zhu Zhuqing and instead coming to see him?

Hearing that Dai Mubai was here to give him a "gift," Zhao Wuji guessed it must be some liquor or the like.

Ever since he'd been injured, it had been a long time since he'd had a drink, and he'd missed it terribly.

Now that his injuries were mostly healed, a little drink wouldn't hurt.

Thinking this, Zhao Wuji opened the door, only to see Dai Mubai standing there empty-handed.

Still, Zhao Wuji didn't overthink it. As a royal prince, Dai Mubai naturally had a spatial soul tool. Coming empty-handed wasn't unusual at all.

Once inside Zhao Wuji's room, Dai Mubai casually found a spot to sit and smiled meaningfully at him.

Zhao Wuji: "…"

Something felt off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Xiao Bai, you're just in time. Bring out the wine and have a drink with me."

"Wine? What wine?"

Dai Mubai looked genuinely confused. He didn't have any wine in his spatial soul tool.

Zhao Wuji: "…"

If not wine, then what gift could he be bringing? Money? Zhao Wuji didn't care about money.

"Hehe, Old Zhao, this is the real gift I brought for you. As for wine, let's wait until you're fully healed and go drink in Soto City."

With a mysterious smile, Dai Mubai pulled a delicate rectangular box from his spatial soul tool.

The box itself was exquisite, each costing about ten gold soul coins.

Whether used to store soul bones or other valuable items, it exuded a refined and high-class aura.

Of course, for a soul bone, this kind of box was rather ordinary. The soul bone's energy fluctuations would inevitably seep out!

Sure enough, as Zhao Wuji took a closer look at the box, his whole body shivered!

There was definitely a soul bone inside, and it wasn't just any soul bone—it was an immensely powerful one!

Zhao Wuji swallowed nervously, his expression conflicted as he spoke in a low voice.

"Xiao Bai, put that away quickly!"

"If I were a few years younger, with you putting that in front of me, one of us wouldn't be leaving alive tonight."

This was a soul bone!

And a powerful soul bone at that! Dai Mubai just casually brought it out like this…

He had nerves of steel!

"I've already brought it out to give to you. Old Zhao, if you tell me to put it away, where's my dignity as the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire?"

Dai Mubai shook his head with a smile.

Of course, he understood what Zhao Wuji meant. A treasure like this was far too valuable.

Zhao Wuji was deeply moved. This child, Dai Mubai, truly valued loyalty and brotherhood!

But ultimately, he still shook his head. Such a treasure was surely bestowed upon Dai Mubai by the Star Luo royal family to strengthen him.

Zhao Wuji was getting older. If he could reach the rank of Soul Douluo, it would already be a great achievement. To fuse such a treasure with him felt like a waste.

Still, saying he wasn't tempted would be a lie!

"Old Zhao, you really don't want it? Just so you know, this is a 9,000-year Tyrannosaurus Left Leg Soul Bone!"

"What did you just say?!"

A Tyrannosaurus left leg soul bone? Was he kidding?!

Zhao Wuji stared at Dai Mubai in disbelief.

A Tyrannosaurus! That was the pinnacle of the sub-dragon species, the most powerful existence among them!

Even at his prime, Zhao Wuji wasn't confident he could defeat a 9,000-year Tyrannosaurus!

If it were a 10,000-year Tyrannosaurus, he and Flender together wouldn't stand a chance.

Whether a Title Douluo could take on a 10,000-year Tyrannosaurus was unknown, but Zhao Wuji was certain that a Soul Douluo couldn't even dream of it.

This was only possible because of Dai Mubai's Indestructible Diamond Body combined with the Rasengan that struck the Tyrannosaurus's weak spot. Otherwise, even a typical Soul King wouldn't be able to pierce its defenses.

The strength of a Tyrannosaurus rivaled that of true dragons! It had been careless and hadn't dodged in time.

"Open it and see for yourself."

Hearing this, Zhao Wuji hurriedly opened the box on the table.

At once, a crimson glow burst forth, and a dense, overwhelming dragon aura radiated from the soul bone.

One glance was all it took for Zhao Wuji to quickly shut the box, his right hand trembling slightly.

A thrilled heart, trembling hands—this perfectly described Zhao Wuji's emotions at the moment.

A Tyrannosaurus left leg soul bone! Even though it was "only" 9,000 years old, its quality rivaled that of a 50,000 to 60,000-year soul bone.

It bore dragon bloodline attributes and came from the mightiest sub-dragon species—the Tyrannosaurus.

If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan found out about this soul bone, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Swallowing hard again, Zhao Wuji hesitated.

His silence spoke volumes: he truly loved and needed this soul bone.

"Old Zhao, I'm leaving now. Zhuqing is waiting for me to have supper together. Oh, and by the way—I wasn't here tonight."

With that, Dai Mubai waved casually at Zhao Wuji, opened the door, and left. He even remembered to close the door behind him.

It took Zhao Wuji a moment to snap back to reality. He stared blankly at the box on the table, then fell silent again.

"Damn it, this favor is enormous!"

"Don't worry, once I break through to Soul Douluo, with me around, even your big brother won't dare act out of line!"

Zhao Wuji muttered to himself.

That said, Zhao Wuji didn't immediately absorb the soul bone. Instead, he carefully stored it away.

His injuries hadn't fully healed, so now wasn't the best time to absorb a soul bone.

This 9,000-year Tyrannosaurus left leg soul bone would surely allow Zhao Wuji to break through to Rank 78 in the short term and, within five years, reach the Soul Douluo level!

Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The heavily injured members of Shrek Academy had all recovered. Zhao Wuji, in particular, was in high spirits, confusing both Oscar and Flender.

What was going on with Zhao Wuji?

Originally at the brink of Rank 76, Zhao Wuji had immediately absorbed the Tyrannosaurus left leg soul bone once he healed. His soul power shot up to Rank 77 and stabilized at Rank 78!

Breaking through two consecutive levels—how could Zhao Wuji not be ecstatic?

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing's breakthrough to the Soul Elder rank remained a secret, known only to Dai Mubai and Flender.

Due to Flender, Zhao Wuji, and Yu Xiaogang's injuries, Shrek Academy hadn't held a full assembly for some time. Everyone had been focusing on their own training.

"Excellent. All of you have made great progress in strength. I'm truly pleased."

Flender looked at Dai Mubai and the others with heartfelt satisfaction.

This group of students had the greatest potential since Shrek Academy was founded. Perhaps they really could make a name for themselves in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Just then, Li Yusong's voice rang out in the distance.

"Flender, Qin Ming brought people…"
