Chapter 53 A Scam?
When Chen Yu heard the head of the Shi family say that there was a 100,000-year-old soul bone in Snow Spirit City, his first reaction was disbelief!
He has plenty of reasons to give.
First, this is a barbaric era that is countless years removed from Tang San's time.
Soul beasts are powerful, and the cultivation of soul masters is still in a state of ignorance.
Would anyone really dare to cause trouble for a 100,000-year-old soul beast and then obtain a 100,000-year-old soul bone?
Even if such people truly exist in this world, would a 100,000-year-old soul beast believe that transforming into a human has such potential?
It's worth noting that soul beasts might not need to worry about being discovered when they transform into human form.
Because in this era, even Soul Masters, let alone Title Douluos, are extremely rare.
Therefore, what soul beasts should worry about when they transform into human form is attacks from other soul beasts.
If they were to become food for other soul beasts, that would be incredibly frustrating.
Moreover, a Soul Master's Martial Soul possesses the bloodline of various gods, which Soul Beasts do not.
If Chen Yu wasn't mistaken, the quality of the soul beasts from this barbaric era was definitely the highest.
Since powerful bloodline-possessing soul beasts would choose to transform into human form, it's better to believe that Chen Yu can truly transform into Belial.
Second, the value of a 100,000-year-old soul bone.
This 100,000-year-old soul bone was an extremely precious and rare treasure in Tang San's era, even far surpassing external soul bones, which could continuously evolve.
Because not just anyone can evolve an external soul bone step by step.
But a 100,000-year-old soul bone is still a 100,000-year-old
A single 100,000-year-old soul bone can support an entire clan, or even a clan comparable to the three upper sects of Tang San's era.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't even have a ten-thousand-year soul bone!
Using a 100,000-year-old soul bone to cultivate a titled Douluo powerhouse is far easier than other methods.
Thinking about it this way, it's impossible that the city lord of Snow Spirit City isn't a Title Douluo powerhouse, and he doesn't even have any Title Douluo powerhouses in his ancestors' lineage!
Moreover, Chen Yu had observed it carefully.
Soul Masters of this era are much stronger physically than those of Tang San and his generation.
Because martial spirits can awaken various divine bloodlines.
The martial spirits of their Black Rhino Tribe and Snow Mastiff Tribe both possess the bloodline of the Ice God.
It's quite normal for a Soul Master with a divine bloodline Martial Soul to have a stronger physical constitution than an ordinary Soul Master.
Chen Yu also guessed that this was the reason why his Ice Spirit Serpent could easily withstand the thousand-year soul ring.
Moreover, Chen Yu also knew that there would be a Sea God and an Angel God in the future Douluo Continent.
The sea god collected faith for a thousand years before becoming a god.
An ordinary Limit Douluo cannot live for more than a thousand years.
Without a stronger body, it would be almost impossible to live for a thousand years.
Therefore, since the Snow Spirit City Lord's family possesses a 100,000-year-old soul bone, and his ancestors were not prone to dying of old age, the fall of Snow Spirit City is quite unbelievable.
Even if the titled Douluo powerhouses of this era are not strong enough, they are still not something that ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts can defeat.
And if there really is a soul bone that is 100,000 years old.
If he can't beat the city lord, can't he at least run away?
Third, the issue of distributing the 100,000-year-old soul bones.
Leaving aside whether they can rebuild Snow Spirit City, if they really find a 100,000-year-old soul bone, how should they distribute it?
Old Deng didn't say anything about that either.
Moreover, they are not suitable to find a 100,000-year-old soul bone.
Their Black Rhino tribe consists entirely of defensive-type battle spirit masters. If they return to Snow Spirit City, they'll likely be torn to shreds by the spirit beasts immediately.
On the contrary, agility-based Soul Masters have a better chance of finding a 100,000-year-old Soul Bone and then escaping unscathed.
So, does this old man want their Black Rhino tribe to be cannon fodder?
Chen Yu admitted that he had been overthinking things.
However, now that he has become the future chieftain of two tribes, he must be responsible for both tribes.
"Sorry, I don't believe any of what you're saying!"
Chen Yu shook his head, which was considered a refusal of the Shi family head's request.
Upon hearing this, the Shi family patriarch's expression changed drastically.
"Why!"
"I'm telling the truth!"
The head of the Shi family spoke with a sincere expression, seemingly genuine, and with some urgency.
"Fine, fine, even if what you're saying is true, how can you prove it?"
Chen Yu shook his head and asked somewhat perfunctorily.
Actually, there is one possibility: the city lord's ancestor just died, and the 100,000-year-old soul bone had not yet been absorbed.
If that's the case, then the 100,000-year-old soul bone should have been taken by the city lord's family, and perhaps given to a younger generation.
"I have evidence!"
However, at that moment, the head of the Shi family claimed to have evidence, and Chen Yu immediately perked up.
No, there is actually evidence?
Chen Yu listened attentively.
"Our Shi family's martial spirit, the Xuanming Turtle, can sense powerful water fluctuations, a high-grade water-attribute natural treasure."
"When I was fleeing Snow Spirit City, I clearly sensed that a water-attribute natural treasure had appeared there."
"Ahem!"
The head of the Shi family said earnestly, and then coughed up some more icy blood.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yu truly believed some of it this time.
The Mysterious Nether Turtle Martial Soul! The Shi Family!
Could this be the family of the Graphite and Stone Mill brothers, or the future Xu Sanshi family?
Xuanming Sect?
Speaking of which, the Xuanming Sect is actually a reclusive sect that can produce Xuan Shui Pills and Xuanwu Divine Pills.
"Since you have this ability, why don't you just go find it yourself?"
Chen Yu countered with a question.
"I can't go on, I'm going to die!"
The head of the Shi family shook his head, then looked at his son.
"My eldest son doesn't have that talent, and his strength isn't enough right now. He simply doesn't have the ability to find a 100,000-year-old soul bone."
"Our Shi family's martial spirit can only truly awaken after marriage!"
My son isn't married yet.
With each word spoken by the head of the Shi family, Chen Yu believed it more and more.
It matches up!
Just as he had imagined.
The Shi family really are the ancestors of the future Xuanming Sect!
Even the sordid method of awakening a martial spirit is the same.
It's called marriage, but it's actually about using a virgin's yin essence to awaken a martial soul a second time, and it seems that only female soul masters with strong talents can achieve this.
However, it is clear that the Shi family has not yet discovered this pattern.
That's true, after all, not every woman has the talent to do that.
If it's just something done casually, the woman's talent might not be up to par, and she naturally wouldn't be able to awaken the strongest Xuanwu Martial Soul.
Only marriage partners are something that needs serious consideration; generally, the talents of both parties should be a perfect match.
Chen Yu fell silent.
He had largely come to believe in the matter of the Soul Bone, but he still couldn't agree to the Alliance's demands.
The people of the Black Rhino Tribe and the Snow Mastiff Tribe cannot take this risk.
He didn't know whether the head of the Shi family, the so-called deputy city lord, was genuinely forming an alliance or just pretending.
Seeing Chen Yu remain silent, the head of the Shi family immediately realized that his stakes were not high enough and began to increase them.
"Actually, our Shi family doesn't want that 100,000-year-old soul bone. I just want the woman who possesses it, so that she can become my son's wife!"
The head of the Shi family finally revealed the real reason.
In the eyes of the Shi family patriarch, Chen Yu was too cunning. He was able to calmly consider whether to form an alliance after revealing so many secrets.
Aren't the people of the Black Rhino tribe savages?
How can there be such a smart person!
The head of the Shi family gave Chen Yu a deep look, and finally, he saw a hint of attraction on Chen Yu's face.
