Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

Chapter 199 Rejection and another soul bone

Emperor Xue Ye's words made Salas shocked and looked at Dai Yao worriedly. He did not dare to directly oppose Emperor Xue Ye, and could only hope that Dai Yao would not make the wrong decision.

At the same time, he also secretly resented why he didn't make a promise to Dai Yao earlier. It seemed that Dai Yao's decision to join the Spirit Hall a long time ago made them relax their vigilance and forget how popular Dai Yao was among the major forces. welcome.

He clenched his fists, feeling secretly resentful.

Soul rings that are less than 30,000 years old are still randomly selected. For the soul master, the temptation is really too great.

From the envious and jealous eyes of those soul masters, we knew how grand Emperor Xue Ye's promise was.

But with Dai Yao's talent, he couldn't look down upon the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

What's more, he had obtained a ten-thousand-year soul ring when he was in his fourth soul ring. Moreover, after he joined Wuhun Palace, he didn't believe that Wuhun Palace would not equip him with the best soul ring.

Therefore, the 30,000-year soul ring promised by Emperor Xue Ye was really worthless to him. It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Dai Yao pursed his lips and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head slightly, implying that Emperor Xue Ye did not mean what he did. At the same time, he made a sound and told Dai Yao that no matter what he chose, he would ensure that he left the Tiandou Empire safely.

Hearing this, Dai Yao was convinced, leaned over and replied to Emperor Xue Ye:

"I'm sorry, I appreciate your Majesty's kindness. A thirty thousand year old soul ring is very precious, but I'm still a long way from the soul king level."

Hearing this, the scene fell silent.

If Emperor Xue Ye had not killed the amplifying soul guide long ago, it would have caused an uproar.

But even so, the teams that advanced all cast incredulous looks. Is Dai Yao crazy for giving up such good conditions?

Only some shrewd people noticed Salas's expression and looked thoughtfully.

Tang San clenched his fists, he knew that the reason why Dai Yao rejected the Tiandou Empire's invitation was because he decided to join the Spirit Hall. There was something cold in his eyes.

Upon hearing Dai Yao's rejection, Salas breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of Emperor Xue Ye's regard for Dai Yao, a hint of gloom flashed across his face.

And Tang San also rejected Emperor Xueye's invitation.

Hearing this, Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi looked at each other, showing the expected expressions, and said regretfully:

"It seems that it's me, Meng Lang. The two of you seem to have already made up your mind."

The awarding is completed and the competition enters the final step, the closing ceremony.

Audiences are allowed to watch the preliminary rounds, but the promotion rounds are held in the Royal Beast Garden, and outsiders are not allowed to watch. Therefore, the closing ceremony is particularly grand.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Dai Yao followed the Auckland team and slowly left the Tiandou Soul Arena where they had been fighting for a month. He looked at the majestic building behind him with a sense of sadness.

"Dai Yao, I didn't expect that you actually hide a rare treasure in the world with an external soul bone!"

Dai Yuanyi stared at Dai Yao's back carefully and said curiously.

Hearing this, everyone turned around curiously and stared at him.

Dai Yao smiled and threatened:

"What? Do you also want to taste the poison?"

Dai Yuan suddenly backed away with a look of horror on his face. Tang San's terrifying appearance of being poisoned on the playing field frightened him to death.

He raised his head and realized that Dai Yao was just trying to scare him, and said angrily:

"Your uncle, you're still scaring me, captain, and you still don't care!"

Seeing Dai Yuanyi's frightened look, everyone burst into laughter. Feng Qianli didn't bother to care about Dai Yuanyi. He was still immersed in the joy of victory!

Everyone was immersed in joy. Zhu Zhuqing quietly walked to Dai Yao and intertwined their fingers.

The evening breeze hit my face softly, and the scenery on the street seemed to be cast in a soft light.

"Brother Yao, I noticed that you have relaxed a lot."

Zhu Zhuqing raised his head, a touch of tenderness flashed in his starry eyes.

"The qualifiers are over, so of course I feel relaxed."

Dai Yao smiled.

"No, ever since I left the Star Luo Empire, I felt that there seemed to be a stone weighing on your heart, but today, you let it go."

Zhu Zhuqing shook his head slightly, his long hair like a waterfall flying gently.

Dai Yao was startled, but he didn't expect Zhu Zhuqing's sense to be so sharp. He chuckled and nodded, looking at the sunset on the horizon with a relieved smile.

Tang San in the original work put a lot of pressure on him, forcing him to constantly oppress himself and practice crazily.

Today, defeating Tang San was like defeating the inner demon.

But this does not mean that he has relaxed. In the future, he will still practice hard, but he will become more confident than before.

Tang San's trump card at the bottom of the box has not been used yet. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons, Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, and other hidden weapon techniques have not been used.

Likewise, his second martial spirit was not used.

The second martial spirit is his true strength.

Today's duel is not the peak battle between the two. Even though he was hiding a lot of things, he was still able to defeat Tang San, which greatly boosted his confidence.

What he has to do now is to keep cultivating himself and making himself stronger, so that when the time comes, he can seize Tang San's opportunity.

Moreover, with the blessing of Wuhun Palace and Qibao Glazed Sect, Dai Yao does not have to worry about the consequences of rejecting Emperor Xue Ye's olive branch today.

He also has another goal, which is to avenge his mother.

Thinking of this, a cold look flashed in Dai Yao's eyes. The day of revenge is getting closer and closer.

As the crazy people gradually left, the Oakland group arrived at the school gate. But as soon as they stepped into the school gate, everyone was surprised to find that two rows of statues had been erected on the left and right sides of the college road.

Isn't this the statue of the participating team members?

Dai Yao covered his eyes and couldn't bear to look directly, as did most of the others. At this moment, countless students rushed up and cheered crazily for the nine team members participating in the competition.

A child of about six or seven years old came to Dai Yao, his face was full of joy, and he said to Dai Yao:

"Brother Dai Yao, I will definitely follow your example, practice hard, and bring glory to the academy."

Seeing the child's innocent look, Dai Yao's heart trembled, he smiled and touched his head and said:

"Well, you can definitely do it."

The child was extremely happy to be praised by Dai Yao, but Dai Yao could only feel inexplicable sadness.

Most of the soul masters who studied in Auckland were ordinary people without any powerful martial souls. No matter how hard they practiced, they would never be able to keep up with the geniuses.

In this competition, if it weren't for his appearance, Auckland would still be eliminated in the qualifying round.

But Dai Yao did not say bluntly that it would be okay to let these children indulge in this kind of fantasy. The cold reality is too cruel and cannot be accepted without a sound mind.

I remember that in the original work, after Xiao Wu sacrificed himself, Tang San returned to Shrek Academy and found that some students questioned Yu Xiaogang's teaching methods, and it was impossible to complete the terrifying lap task under the pressure of Zhao Wuji.

Therefore, he stepped forward and easily completed the tasks that the students thought were impossible.

Dai Yao wanted to say at that time, you are a twin martial soul, you have got so many cheats, and you have a hundred thousand year soul ring, you will be damned if you can't complete this task.

What are you pretending to do to those ordinary soul masters?

"How's it going? These sculptures are pretty good."

Jackson led everyone out of the crowd and said with a smile.

"Isn't this a little too showy?"

Dai Yao always felt a little bit social. Now that he is only slightly famous, having a statue erected by others really feels a bit flattering.

Everyone also deeply agreed.

Jackson stroked his beard and smiled:

"Haha, you guys successfully broke into the promotion round this time, breaking our record in Auckland for many years. Moreover, with your strength, you can also achieve good results in the finals."

"In the future, your achievements in the soul master world will be quite high."

"Therefore, why shouldn't I have erected this statue earlier?"

Jackson is just like showing off his juniors, but he doesn't care much about their emotions.

Dai Yao looked at Jackson speechlessly, thinking that if Tiandou Palace fails in the future, as a member of Wuhun Palace, I just don’t want to tear down this statue...

"You guys should go back first. I have something to discuss with Dai Yao."

Jackson ordered the other team members. The others glanced at Dai Yao doubtfully, and then showed a clear expression, just like a teacher paying special attention to outstanding students.

“Grandpa Jackson, what’s the matter?”

Dai Yao said doubtfully.

Jackson did not answer, but glanced around and said softly:

"Follow me."

She silently followed Jackson to the dean's office, and saw Jackson observing vigilantly from the window, then closing the curtains, and then using his soul power to set up a soundproof barrier.

Dai Yao also became nervous unconsciously. This series of actions by Jackson all proved that what he was going to say next was very important.

After doing all this, Jackson breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dai Yao happily:

"Thank you, Dai Yao, for bringing this Oakland team to a level that doesn't belong to us."

"This is what I should do."

Jackson stretched out his hand to stop what Dai Yao was about to say, shook his head and said:

"This is not what you should do, you know? After this competition, Auckland College will become a famous college on the mainland. I don't know how many children will join Auckland because of this competition."

"To say you saved Oakland is an understatement."

"Therefore, I must give you enough rewards."

Seeing that Dai Yao was about to refuse, Jackson quickly said:

"Don't refuse. If you don't accept, I'll feel uneasy. Besides, this will be of great benefit to your future. It's not too late to see what the reward is before you decide."

After saying that, a bone-like thing exuding soul power fluctuations appeared in his hand.

Looking down, it was a dark leg bone, exuding a breathtaking aura. Dai Yao's pupils suddenly widened and he exclaimed:

"Soul bone?"

Seeing Dai Yao's surprised look, Jackson nodded with satisfaction:

"Yes, this is the right leg bone of a 10,000-year-old red-eyed tiger king. It is extremely rare. Moreover, it is a tiger martial spirit. It is very suitable for your martial spirit. Once absorbed, it will improve you tremendously."

Looking at this soul bone that could drive countless people crazy, Dai Yao couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Red-Eyed Tiger King, Dai Mubai's fifth soul ring in the original work is the Red-Eyed Tiger King from ten thousand years ago, and it is of the tiger type. It has the same origin as Dai Yao's martial spirit, and the degree of compatibility is much higher than other types of soul bones.

Dai Yao could imagine how much improvement it would bring once absorbed.

But after thinking for a long time, he still refused:

"Thank you, Grandpa Jackson. This soul bone is very precious, but I can't have it."

Currently, none of the six soul bones in Dai Yao's body have been absorbed. For each soul bone, he selected several soul beasts as candidates in the original work, all of which are at least fifty thousand years old.

The soul bone of the Red-eyed Tiger King is indeed good, but for him, once absorbed, it will only greatly reduce his future potential.

Therefore, he refused without hesitation.

Moreover, although he looked down upon it, to others, these ten thousand year soul bones were not common and extremely rare. Even the final reward of the Wuhun Palace Competition was only three ten thousand year soul bones, which shows how precious they are. .

Now that Jackson takes out this soul bone, he will definitely bleed heavily.

Jackson was a little stunned:

"Dai Yao, did I hear you correctly?"

"You heard me right, I don't want this soul bone."

Jackson held his breath in his stomach and said happily:

"Dai Yao, you don't need to consider my feelings. This is the reward you deserve. This soul bone has been stored in my house for many years. It is of little use to me."

"But it's different for you. You will join the Wuhun Palace in the future. I have nothing to help you. This soul bone should be regarded as my practice for your future."

"Just hold this soul bone honestly, I won't take it back."

Dai Yao was a little moved as he held this soul bone, nodded, and put it into his treasure bag.

Now, there are already three soul bones in his treasure bag. If people know about it, I'm afraid it will attract many people to covet them.

Seeing Dai Yao finally put away his soul bone, Jackson smiled and said:

"That's right."

After a moment, Jackson changed the subject:

"Dai Yao, there is only one month left before the promotion competition. What are your plans?"

Dai Yao thought deeply:

"I have gained a lot from this month of continuous fighting. I need to settle down."

Jackson showed an appreciative smile, stroked his beard and said:

"Yes, don't be arrogant when you win. You must seize this month, keep thinking, and keep absorbing the experience of fighting. Your future will be smooth."

After saying this, Jackson sighed quietly and said deeply:

"In the promotion round, fight with all your strength. Don't worry about the emotions of your teammates and hide your own light. You are a genius. There is no need to be like the light. What they think is their business."

"You are destined to shine brightly. Mediocre people can accompany you for a while, but your brilliance will eventually cover them up until they are farther and farther away from you."

Hearing this, Dai Yao was shocked.

Indeed, during the qualifiers, he deliberately hid a lot of his strength in order not to get too far behind the players. As the schedule continued, he exposed more and more.

It turned out that Jackson had noticed his behavior a long time ago.

"Thank you Grandpa Jackson for understanding."

Dai Yao nodded.

Jackson patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"I also have to thank you for taking care of those boys!"

······

At night, Dai Yao lay on the bed and arranged a soul barrier to isolate the outside breath, and then took out the three soul bones.

Next to the three soul bones, there is also a book of hundreds of medicinal herbs. This is the secret record in the Xuantian Baolu that was exchanged from Tang San's hand, about the content of heaven, material and earth treasures.

These three soul bones are really useless. He will not absorb these soul bones, and they are too precious to give away. It is a headache to deal with them, and it is impossible to exchange them for gold coins.

Everyone knows that soul bones are priceless at auctions. Only a fool would do this in exchange for soul bones.

"You three soul bones will continue to eat ashes in my hands."

Dai Yao felt sad for them.

Turning his eyes, he picked up the herbal medicine Baijie, with a flash of fire in his eyes.
