Chapter 68 Hu Liena: Soul Bone? I can't accept it!
"Su Mo, you're the vice-captain, you should assign the tasks."
Hu Liena's beautiful eyes sparkled as she gave the choice to Su Mo.
Su Mo glanced at the three soul bones but showed no interest whatsoever.
He already possessed a million-year-old soul bone; these ten-thousand-year-old soul bones were merely useless to him.
"You can distribute them yourselves; these soul bones don't match my attributes."
Su Mo casually handed the jade plate to Hu Liena, which made Yue Guan's lips twitch.
He hasn't had a single soul bone in decades, so Su Mo is being incredibly wasteful, actually handing over three soul bones so easily.
"I can't accept this!"
Hu Liena looked at the three soul bones in her hand, feeling as if she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.
"You should keep it; this victory is all thanks to you."
Hu Liena handed the jade plate over again, her tone very firm.
Her actions completely surprised Xie Yue.
Those three soul bones were clearly prepared for him, Nana, and Yan.
My sister actually gave up her soul bone like that.
"Forehead."
Looking at Hu Liena's sincere expression, Su Mo didn't know how to explain.
He had absolutely no interest in these three soul bones, as they not only did not match his attributes but were also pitifully young.
After much deliberation, he looked at Pope Bibidon once again.
"I humbly request Your Holiness to bestow upon me another piece of soul bone, any piece that is ten thousand years old will suffice."
"Su Mo, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Yue Guan hurriedly reprimanded.
My student is far too ignorant, daring to bargain with the Pope.
"Elder Yueguan, go and get one from the storeroom."
Bibi Dong said calmly.
Compared to a 100,000-year-old soul beast, a 10,000-year-old soul bone is nothing.
"this."
Yue Guan wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
"Aren't you going yet?"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her tone somewhat displeased.
"yes!"
Yue Guan answered respectfully.
He then rushed toward the treasure vault, but he was still in a daze.
He felt like he was living in a dream. When did the Pope become so easy to talk to?
A moment later, Yue Guan walked into the Papal Palace carrying a piece of yellow, ancient left arm bone.
This soul bone has the ability to increase physical strength, and he specially chose it for Su Mo.
Unfortunately, it's only ten thousand years old, nothing compared to the fifty thousand-year-old soul bone in the jade plate.
"Now, can you accept it?"
Su Mo looked at Hu Liena and spoke calmly.
"Okay, consider this a debt I owe you, and I'll pay you back!"
Hu Liena said defiantly.
Xie Yue was stunned. These were three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones, and one fifty-thousand-year-old soul bone.
How can my silly sister repay this debt? Even ten million gold soul coins can't buy a 50,000-year soul bone.
"Brother, this one is for you!"
Hu Liena handed the dark green soul bone to Xie Yue.
"You are the fastest, so this left leg bone of the Speed Chaser is the most suitable for you."
Hu Liena then handed the fiery red soul bone to Yan.
They had been together for several years, and she did not show favoritism.
Moreover, this soul bone was clearly prepared by the Pope for Yan.
"This right arm bone, shaped like a bursting flame, matches your attributes, so you can have it."
Yan's hands trembled as he carefully took the soul bone.
He never expected that he could obtain a soul bone without exerting any effort.
But he knew that the credit for obtaining the soul bone belonged entirely to Su Mo.
If he were to replace Su Mo on the field, the Shrek team would inevitably be crushed.
"Thank you, Vice Captain!"
Yan bowed deeply to Su Mo, completely acknowledging Su Mo's talent.
Su Mo nodded slightly to him.
"I'll accept this skull, a symbol of concentrated wisdom?"
Hu Liena blinked her bright, alluring eyes and looked at Su Mo.
Su Mo smiled slightly and replied, "As I've already said, the soul bones are to be allocated by the individual."
The other four watched helplessly as the soul bones were distributed, not daring to utter a single complaint.
After all, they didn't put in any effort in this battle; they won entirely thanks to Su Mo's effortless victory.
Yue Guan handed the yellow, ten-thousand-year-old left arm bone to Su Mo, comforting him:
"Although this giant ape's left arm bone is only ten thousand years old, it couldn't be more suitable for you."
"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Su Mo bowed to Bi Bi Dong.
As Su Mo distributed the soul bones to everyone, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a smile.
Su Mo's willingness to give up three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones truly surprised her.
Many people don't understand the principle of "don't bite off more than you can chew," but the young man in front of me put it into practice.
What she didn't know was that Su Mo already possessed a million-year-old soul bone, so naturally he looked down on a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.
Su Mo had no interest in the left arm bone of the Vajra Giant Ape; he only did so to avoid arousing Bibi Dong's suspicion.
His current left arm bone is the left arm bone of a million-year-old golden sword dragon, how could he possibly covet a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone?
Bibi Dong quickly wiped the smile off her face and said seriously:
"Although the Soul Master Competition has ended, you must not slack off. You must cultivate diligently in the future and contribute to the Spirit Hall."
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
Everyone said in unison.
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction and said calmly:
"You may all leave, Nana stays."
Su Mo walked out of the Papal Palace with the others, while Yue Guan sighed all the way.
"Su Mo, my good student, how could you refuse that 50,000-year-old soul bone? 50,000 years!"
Yue Guan emphasized the words "fifty thousand years," because a soul bone that is ten thousand years old and a soul bone that is fifty thousand years old are not even in the same league; the difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
Su Mo simply smiled faintly and replied, "My martial spirit is a sword, so that soul bone is of little use to me."
"Please take this soul bone, teacher."
Su Mo placed the left arm bone of the Vajra Giant Ape into Yue Guan's hand.
"You mean, let me take it!"
Yue Guan stroked the soul bone and said in disbelief.
This soul bone is a perfect match for Su Mo, and can increase his physical strength by at least 10%.
"That's right, absorbing this soul bone would be more harmful than beneficial to me. It would be better for you to absorb it, Teacher."
Su Mo said calmly.
Yue Guan's hand trembled slightly as he held the soul bone, wondering if he was dreaming.
For more than half a year, he did not provide much help to Su Mo. The only help he provided was those two books and the assistance he provided in cultivating the Vajra Indestructible Secret Technique.
Su Mo selflessly gave him the soul bone, leaving him speechless for a moment.
"Su Mo, if you ever need anything in the future, come to me. I'll even kill a 100,000-year-old soul beast for you."
Yue Guan patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo chuckled. It would be a miracle if Yue Guan could defeat a 100,000-year-old soul beast. There was a slight possibility of him being with Gui Mei, but it was slim.
Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena, seemingly lost in thought, and said:
"Nana, what do you think of Su Mo?"
"I'm... I'm alright."
Hu Liena's cheeks flushed slightly, but she tried to remain calm.
Seeing Hu Liena's expression, Bibi Dong smiled.
The best way to keep someone is to create bonds between them.
Now that Su Mo is all alone, he can betray the Spirit Hall whenever he wants and do whatever he wants.
With these bonds in place, Su Mo could not easily betray them, nor would he easily make judgments he shouldn't have.
