Chapter 75 - Continental Advenced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament (5)

They all nodded and went back without alerting any guards in the capital. After reaching Shrek Academy they were asked quite a few questions from the other Devils to which they lied, saying that they were in conflict with another academy and they called Flender to prevent their abilities from being known.

Flender also informed them all that they should only go out if they are accompanied by either him or Liu Erlong until the competition ends, with the reason being to prevent their abilities from being known.

Grandmaster naturally was able to see that they were hiding something so he called Tang San to his room to discuss his cultivation. Tang San then tells Grandmaster about what actually happened, how Shi Nian wanted to kill him and Dai Mubai to remove any threat in the tournament and how he died from the poison he had from Dugu Bo. Grandmaster became quite worried after hearing this, he even had thoughts of stopping him from participating in the tournament any further.

But Tang San stood resolute and still wanted to participate in the tournament despite what happened. Knowing Tang San's character even Grandmaster gave in and let him continue but he still put in a lot of restrictions and conditions for his safety.

"Grandmaster, I found this from Shi Nian's corpse"

Tang San said while he took out the skull bone he had gotten from Shi Nian, he even asked Flender what to do about it, Flender naturally had no problem letting Tang San absorb it, Liu Erlong and Dai Mubai agreed but Tang San kept it inside his Twenty Four Moonlight Bridges wanting to confirm with his teacher once before he absorbed the spirit bone.

"T-This is a skull spirit bone!!"

Grandmaster was quite elated when he saw this spirit bone, to him spirit bones were a mysterious existence. In the Blue Tyrant Clan, he was not able to come in contact with spirit bones due to not having enough authority and later on he wasn't that lucky to get one either.

Though Tang San had five spirit bones he was forced to absorb them and was unable to store them to show to grandmaster so him being able to bring back a spirit bone was quite a happy moment for him.

He had spent most of his remaining cash to upgrade this bone into a 95,000-year spirit bone from the 1000 year bone and now he was left with only 60,000 gold coins. The green liquid which he had used on the spirit bone is a new type of liquid which he had created when researching for ways to hide Xiao Wu's aura, this liquid can remove the aura of anything below the 100,000-year level and the black smoke was the remaining aura from the Yama's Invitation poison. After that it attacked the aura from the spirit bone, if anyone looked at it now they would be unable to discover its aura and hence they would think it was a normal bone until they come in contact with it.

He had raised it to the 95,000-year level because once it reached the 100,000-year level it's aura would be released and a lot of cultivators in the city would hunt him down for this bone. With 95,000 years as its age, there wouldn't be anything he would need to worry about.

He planned on giving it to Ning Rongrong as this bone would suit her much better than the Wisdom Skull Bone. After reaching the 10,000-year level he saw that it changed from the previous seven colors to eight colors, this meant that as long as it reaches the 100,000 years level it would become a nine colored skull spirit bone.

He felt that it was perfect for Ning Rongrong and as long as she can get the 7 level trial in Sea God's Island she would get a boost of 5000 years upgrading it to the 100,000-year level.

"I can't seem to figure out the age of this bone but thinking that Shi Nain had it we can estimate that it is somewhere in the 1000 year range, This bone is a gem attribute spirit bone, it isn't that suitable to you either, it would be better to give it to someone else or exchange it for another spirit bone"

"Hmm….."

"What are you thinking about??"

"Teacher, I'm 14 years old this year and have already reached the Spirit Emperor Rank and I was able to get three of the normal spirit bones, I don't think it would be safe for me to trade spirit bones than to find them myself, shouldn't I give this to someone who I trust?? That way I can rely on them later on??"

"Who do you plan to give it to??"

"It's a gem attribute spirit bone and I can only think of one person when I see the eight colors on this bone"

"Truly it would benefit her a lot but are you sure?? Spirit bones are something you might not come across ever again??"

Tang San gave a wry smile at Grandmaster and said,

"Teacher then how was I able to get five spirit bones out of which two were even External Bones"

".... Luck"

Grandmaster's expression was quite a sight to behold, he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry at his disciple's luck. Even Titled douluo covert spirit bones yet this disciple of his has five already if the two he had were not external then he might have gotten the whole set with that luck.

He then headed off to Rongrong's room, but when he entered he realized that Xiao Wu was her roommate, he kept the cool smiling face but he was sweating bullets on the inside. He wanted to say that he was in the wrong room and get out but he knew that he couldn't do that.

"Um, I wanted to give this to you, it was something that Grandmaster told me to give since it was quite suitable for you"

Saying that he gave her a black box, similar to the one he gave Ning Fengzhi, Rongrong was excited when she saw the box. She remembered Tang San giving the same box to her father and hurriedly put in 333 to open it.

But it still didn't open, she then gave a cute look at Tang San like a dog waiting for its treat, when he saw that Tang San laughed and put in another set of numbers, 000

She didn't care about the box and saw the skull bone inside the box, even Xiao Wu was shocked at the contents of the box. Spirit Bones are a rare occurrence that doesn't have a fixed rate of dropping and skull bones are even rarer among them right after the torso spirit bone.

"Brother San, where did you get this??"

He then closed the door and explained about what happened in the afternoon, they were quite shocked at what happened and Rongrong even wanted to tell her father so he could settle it with the Blue Sunshine Academy.

Tang San shook his head and explained that if they did that then the death of the missing Shi Nian would fall on their head and a lot of people wanted to pull them down right now so any rumor would affect them greatly, that was not what they needed.

Tang San let her absorb the spirit bone while keeping watch in case anything goes wrong. It was a 95,000-year spirit bone so he would not take any chances with it, he was sitting cross-legged behind Ning Rongrong with his hands on her back constantly circulating his [Forbidden Heaven Technique] just in case.

Soon she was able to absorb the spirit bone and even her spirit power rose by 3 ranks and reached the 59th rank. She was quite close to the Spirit Emperor rank, she was quite happy at this and even gave a kiss to Tang San, he didn't reject and happily indulged in the kiss after a while he heard a cough sound and remembered that Xiao Wu was also in the room he was sure that she was feeling a little jealous and let go of Rongrong.

He saw that she was pouting so he went and kissed her as well, after kissing her he realized that it was getting late and it wouldn't be appropriate if he stayed any longer so he left the room and went back to his own to sleep.

…

Shrek was quite lucky after their match with the Elephant Armoured School as they still hadn't encountered any of the other four elemental academies but even if they did, they wouldn't have much of a problem defeating them.

They had ten victories under their name currently and tomorrow was the first match they would have against one of the four elemental academies the Blazing Academy.

Their team composition was still the same, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Tai Long, Huang Yuan, Jing Ling, Jiang Zhu, and Xie Lingling. The Blazing Academy is one of the five teams which usually qualify for the ranking tournament it was considered a strong team and according to grandmaster, it seems that they have changed their strategy from the previous tournaments and might even have chances to defeat them as long as they only send out two members of the original team.

Hearing this they all took this match quite seriously but they didn't go as far as to change the team order.

The Blazing Team had adopted a triangular formation similar to Shrek and their captain Huo Wushuang was standing in front of Dai Mubai while he had a serious expression on his face.

"Don't get c_o_c_ky just because your a spirit king, the tournament is a team match tournament and as long as we take out the rest of your team even you won't stand a chance against all of us"

"Exactly, its a team match tournament so your team will lose before you can"

Hearing that the Blazing Team had an angry expression over their faces while they stared at each of their opponents with a hateful and c_o_c_ky expression.

Tang San's opponent was a girl named Huo Wu, he remembered her being the most talented member in the team, reaching the 43rd rank while being only 20 or so years old she had some pride in that, but when she saw a boy who was younger than her, had reached the Spirit King stage with two ten thousand year rings no less even her pride was hurt.

But she consoled herself that as long as its a team fight she could defeat him but seeing how c_o_c_ky she was she couldn't bear it and looked at the opponent's control type spirit master with a strong d_e_s_i_r_e to defeat him.

When the referee announced the start of the match, Dai Mubai hit straight towards the opponents captain with his White Tiger LightWave, he wanted to defeat him as soon as possible but he was surprised to find that the opponent was able to withstand his attack even though he only used 30% of his power, but he was still quite injured nonetheless as long as he gets hit another two times he would be unable to continue.

But seeing the other members of his team barely holding up he used his third ability White Tiger Vajra Transformation and let out another White Tiger Light Wave attack completely defeating the opponent's captain. But from Shrek's side, they lost Tai Long and Jiang Zhu, with only Xie Lingling left as their healer they would need to finish the match faster.

On the other side, Tang San was fighting Hou Wu, he was only using his Ghost Perplexing Step and Forbidden Jade Hands to block and dodge all her attacks, he had still not used his spirit yet. The more she attacked him, the more infuriated she was getting, she wasn't even able to land one proper hit on him, she was using her Fire Shadow Spirit but every time she attacked she was failing.

Tang San was getting pushed into a corner, he was actually trying to counter-attack but she didn't even give him one opportunity to do so, he was quite impressed by that if this goes on any longer he would have to use his Golden Silver Grass Spirit so he changed tactics and used his [Red God's Eye] skill.

Huo Wu became dazed when she saw his eyes, she was under the mental attack of the [Red God's Eye]. Tang San didn't miss this chance and punched her with enough strength to knock her out, unable to avoid the attack she vomited and was tossed out of the stage, everyone was shocked, the audience, the VIP stands, the Blazing academy team even the Shrek Team was shocked at what happened.
