Chapter 54 Two more soul bones to gamble on!
Su Chen's decision to step forward was completely unexpected by everyone.
Not only were the people in the main hall stunned, but Bibi Dong was also stunned, as was the anxious Chrysanthemum Douluo. Even the old man who had walked to the door paused slightly and looked back at the boy with some surprise.
"Excuse me, sir, could you please wait a moment?"
Looking at the silver-haired boy's earnest gaze, the old man's mouth moved, he sighed, and finally stopped in his tracks.
He had previously thought highly of the child.
One aspect is his innate full soul power and the unprecedented first ring in a thousand years; another aspect is Su Chen's remarkably calm attitude at all times and in all places.
Whether facing the Light Feather Douluo or so many high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, he remained calm and intelligent, unlike a six-year-old child.
This is the most commendable aspect.
Geniuses are common, but geniuses who are so intelligent and mature from a young age are extremely rare.
Now it seems that the child wasn't as perfect as he thought.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could I have such high expectations for a six-year-old?
Even so, he couldn't help but want to hear what Su Chen had to say in his defense.
Let's just consider it as clinging to our last hope.
"What, could it be that our number one genius has a different perspective?"
Someone couldn't help but sneer, "Go back, kid, this isn't your business."
"What if, what if they actually come up with something, like the eleven core competitive advantages of a martial soul?"
The other person made a sarcastic remark, but as he spoke, he started laughing at himself.
"Hahahaha, maybe it really is?"
"Bought for over nine million gold soul coins? That's an amazing deal, hahaha!"
Laughter echoed throughout the hall, as if mocking the young man's ungratefulness.
"That's enough!"
Bibi Dong spoke coldly, her wine-red eyes sweeping over the crowd with a chilling gaze.
"I made the decision, and I will take full responsibility for all the problems. If you have any complaints, come at me!"
She was in a terrible mood; she never imagined things would turn out this way.
Glancing at the Light Feather Douluo, His Holiness the Pope felt a strong killing intent rising in his heart. One day, this man will surely die!
"Hahahaha, Your Holiness the Pope, don't be impatient."
The latter, completely unaware that he was already on Bibi Dong's kill list, still smiled and said, "How about giving our number one genius some time? I believe he can definitely produce the research results worth over nine million."
"Don't you agree, Your Holiness the Pope?"
If you just obediently play the coward, I won't bother arguing with you.
If you dare to stand up, then don't blame me for being impolite.
Guangling Douluo made no attempt to conceal his malice.
At this point, it's no longer necessary.
He was wary of Bibi Dong, but he would definitely try every means to suppress Su Chen, a genius he had already offended, if necessary.
A cold glint flashed in Guangling's single eye as she turned and looked at Su Chen with a smile.
"Radiant Feather!!"
Bibi Dong let out a low shout, her beautiful eyes fixed on that person. Her jade hand hidden in her sleeve was filled with a thick purple aura, and the veins on it were exposed, making it look extremely ferocious.
"Your Holiness the Pope."
The boy's soft chuckle pulled Bibi Dong out of her rage. She paused, looking at Su Chen who had raised one hand.
Su Chen gestured for His Holiness the Pope to calm down, glanced at the crowd that were all looking at him, and finally stopped on Guangling Douluo, smiling broadly as he said, "My lord, speaking of which, you left in such a hurry last time that I didn't even have a chance to thank you for your soul bone."
The boy's face was filled with an innocent smile, as if his gratitude came from the bottom of his heart.
"Thanks to you, some of my things that would otherwise have been impossible have made progress."
That's right. Without that soul bone, Su Chen might still be arguing with the region, and he would never have thought of natural energy in the soul bone.
The trial-and-error period was brought forward by an unknown amount of time.
He was truly grateful to Guangling Douluo for this.
"Hahahaha, we should really thank them, after all, that's a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone! Hahahaha!!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo completely ignored the ugly expression on Light Feather Douluo's face and laughed wildly.
He finally got his revenge after feeling stifled for so long!
The people around chuckled softly.
They could tell the boy was genuinely grateful, and that made it even funnier.
How could it not be of great help?
That's a rare ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. Even the Light Feather Douluo himself was probably hesitant about who to bestow it upon, but unexpectedly, Su Chen intercepted it.
Even Bibi Dong's lips curled into a slight smile, her mood improving considerably.
But the other protagonist is not in such a good mood.
Seeing the boy's earnest and grateful expression, Guangling Douluo's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.
That's no ordinary soul bone; it's the extremely rare soul bone of a ten-thousand-year-old blood tiger!
If it weren't for the fact that his own soul bone had a corresponding part, it would have been absorbed long ago.
He wouldn't even give it to his own son, intending to use it as a gift for adulthood.
Ever since he gave that soul bone to Su Chen, every time he thought of the kid's smug face as he stroked and used his beloved soul bone, Guangling Douluo's heart bled.
It's like... cough cough.
In short, no matter what, we must get this soul bone back. Then we can clean and nurture it properly, and it will be a clean, flawless treasure again!
"Hmph, if all you want to say is this kind of meaningless stuff, then you might as well go back to standing there."
Guangling crossed her arms and snorted coldly, giving Su Chen a sinister look as she looked him up and down.
"I hope that after today, you'll still be in the mood to use your soul bone."
The young man completely ignored his threat, instead waving his hand and smiling broadly, saying, "Guardian of Lightfeather, would you be interested in making another bet with me?"
"Let's bet on whether I can truly produce research results. If I win, you might as well give me another ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. If I lose, I will return everything the Spirit Hall has given me and then leave the Spirit Hall!"
Hearing this, Guangling raised an eyebrow, as if about to say something, but then the boy said, "Of course, not the kind of empty talk and nonsense that Yu Xiaogang spouts."
Su Chen looked at everyone and said, word by word, "It is a result that can truly increase the strength of the Spirit Hall."
What?!
Upon hearing this, the old man at the door could not hide his disappointment. He shook his head and prepared to leave.
I thought he would have something to say, but it turned out to be just this kind of unrealistic and outrageous talk.
"You little brat, we've given you enough patience. Now, get out of here!"
Other hot-tempered elderly men could no longer bear it and pointed at the door, shouting angrily.
He was clearly very angry.
The others also shook their heads in disappointment.
You might as well say you reached level 20 in the last couple of days and got a thousand-year soul ring; that would be more believable.
It seems we really need to reconsider whether to support Bibi Dong.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, since we're the first ones to come up with ideas, everyone should stop rushing."
Guangling Douluo was overjoyed and wished he could jump up on the spot.
good good!
What does it mean to bring about one's own destruction? With so many people witnessing this today, I'll make sure you regret it before it's too late!
Even Bibi Dong can't save you!
He smiled and called to the old man at the door, looking at Su Chen with a kind and gentle gaze that gave the latter goosebumps.
"No problem, not just one soul bone, I'll give you two if you can produce them!"
With a pounding chest full of pride, Guangling immediately took out two radiant crystals and slammed them onto the table.
It turned out to be a thousand-year-old soul bone and a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
"Lord Guangling is so generous!"
Su Chen's dark eyes instantly brightened. He could sense the rich natural energy contained within it. Although it couldn't compare to the first one, it was definitely a superior soul bone.
He's such a good person; Su Chen almost felt reluctant to scheme against him.
"this"
The angry old man hesitated, shook his head, sighed, closed his eyes, and retreated.
Wasn't his angry shout also meant to protect Su Chen?
But looking into that kid's eyes, it was clear that he was blinded by greed.
"You've brought this upon yourself, you've brought this upon yourself!"
He murmured a long sigh.
Bibi Dong and Chrysanthemum Douluo both felt a tightness in their hearts. The former wanted to stop him, but looking at the confident eyes of the boy, she gritted her teeth and stopped.
At worst, we can forcibly send him out of the Spirit Hall and protect him, then we'll deal with it later.
"Since Lord Guangling is so sincere, there's no point in me hiding it."
Su Chen took out a stack of papers filled with dense writing and sketches of several human figures from his soul tool. He bypassed the Light Feather Douluo who reached out to take them, activated his soul power, and floated towards the old man at the door.
Light Feather Douluo:
He withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly.
Hmph, you little beast, let's see how long you can be so smug!
So, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the stack of papers fell into the hands of the old man at the door. He glanced at Su Chen and then turned his gaze to his hands.
In just a moment, the old man shuddered and his brows furrowed deeply.
