Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 189 Three Soul Bones, Extra Natural Treasures Reward

In the past, Xuan Lao would naturally not attend, not wanting to have any deep interactions with the three empires.
Shrek Academy was to remain neutral and could not take sides in the face of the three empires' overtures, otherwise it would easily arouse the vigilance and hostility of the other two empires.
The original Douluo Kingdoms were not as solid as a rock; they were allies, but also rivals.
Before the Sun and Moon Continent drifted over and bordered Douluo Continent, these three countries hated each other and were constantly at war.
The arrival of the Sun-Moon Empire made them unite against the enemy, temporarily putting aside their hatred and fighting against the foreign enemy together.
But this does not mean that the hatred between the three empires has disappeared.
They all wanted to win over Shrek Academy, firstly to better fight against the Sun-Moon Empire, and secondly, they also had the intention of destroying each other.
Shrek Academy has maintained its neutrality over the years, and its leadership is unwilling to have too much interaction with the royal families of the three empires.
But this time, there was really no other way. After all, they owed a great favor to the Xingluo Empire royal family, and it was impossible for them to not even give them this little face.
At the banquet, Elder Xuan was quite respectful, and the smile on Emperor Xingluo's face never faded.
Although Master Xuan was only expressing his personal gratitude to the Xingluo Empire and acknowledging that he owed them a favor, he did not represent Shrek Academy.
But this is also an acceptable result. After all, Xuan Lao is very powerful, and it is not easy to make a strong man like him owe a favor.
Furthermore, Master Xuan might become the head of Shrek Academy's Sea God Pavilion in the future. What's the difference between asking him to owe a big favor and asking Shrek Academy to owe a big favor?
The Xingluo Emperor also presented the champion with three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones at the banquet. The worst one was over twenty thousand years old, and the best one was over fifty thousand years old.
These three soul bones are worth over ten million, much better than the second place prize.
"In addition to these three soul bones, the Xingluo Imperial Family is also willing to give our Honorary Priest Shi Yu an additional reward." The Xingluo Emperor looked at Shi Yu, who was sitting closer to the front, and clapped his hands.
The personal eunuch beside him brought an exquisite round plate covered with golden cloth to Shi Yu.
"Your Majesty, this is not good." Shi Yu did not take it, but looked at Emperor Xingluo, intending to refuse.
No merit, no reward. Taking these things is a favor, not something you can just take.
Although he was very interested in the contents of the plate and could faintly sense the spatial fluctuations emanating from it, he felt that this should be a treasure related to space, not a soul bone.
Xuan Lao took a sip of wine and said nothing, just watching quietly.
"There's nothing wrong with that. The Sun-Moon Royal Academy is powerful. If you hadn't led the team to defeat them, the championship of this Soul Master Academy Competition would have fallen to the Sun-Moon Royal Academy."

"The venue is Xingluo City. If the championship is won by the Sun-Moon Empire, it will be a great insult to our Xingluo Empire."

"You led the team to defeat the Sun Moon Royal Academy. You not only defended the honor of Shrek Academy, but also saved the face of our Xingluo Empire. I will give you a special reward. Do you think it is appropriate?" The Xingluo Emperor said seriously.
The intention to recruit is obvious, but there is no need to be too direct on the surface, as long as the other party understands it.
"This..." Shi Yu hesitated.
At this time, Xu Jiujiu also started to persuade: "This is a ten thousand year old Youxu fruit, a rare space-attributed treasure. My brother had people search the entire continent to find it. It was not easy to find it."

"Let's not talk about its value for now. Just talking about the emperor's kindness, can you bear to let him down?"

Youxu Fruit… Shi Yu's eyebrows jumped. He had thought that the plate might contain a natural treasure with spatial properties, but he had never expected it to be the rare Youxu Fruit.
Ever since he obtained many natural treasures from the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, he has been particularly interested in information about them, and has even focused on understanding natural treasures with spatial attributes. He is familiar with the Youxu Fruit.
It is said that this fruit does not grow on trees, but is instead born from some spatial cracks.
From the environment in which it grows, one can imagine how extraordinary this fruit is. Even in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, this fruit cannot be found anywhere else.
It contains pure space energy, and it is said that after taking it, one can temporarily enter space cracks without getting hurt.
The space cracks are not open to casual entry. Even the strongest warriors dare not enter easily, as it would be fatal to them.
However, after taking this fruit, one can enter an extremely dangerous space crack. Although one cannot stay there for a long time, a few minutes is enough to be exaggerated.
Of course, this fruit is somewhat useless. After all, space cracks are not common, and even if they exist, no one knows what can be done by entering a space crack. It sounds powerful, but in reality it is not taken seriously.
This fruit is mostly consumed by space-attribute spirit masters to improve their cultivation, and it can also strengthen the space ability of space-attribute spirit masters.
In the information he had read, there was a space-attribute spirit master whose martial spirit evolved after taking the Youxu Fruit. This person seemed to have finally cultivated to the ultimate level.
Shi Yu's heart was moved. This Youxu Fruit was indeed a top-tier natural treasure for him, even more valuable than other 100,000-year-old natural treasures.
"In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty." Shi Yu chose to accept it with all his heart. He owed a favor to one person, and when he had the chance, he would return two or three of these rare treasures. He would return a favor, and he would not just take.
Among the natural treasures he possessed, there were indeed some that were more suitable for the Xingluo royal family members to consume, but it was not appropriate to give them to them now, so he would have to wait until later.
Emperor Xingluo and Xu Jiujiu both smiled.
After the dinner, Shi Yu returned to his residence and immediately began to consume the Youxu Fruit. He swallowed the fruit, which was slightly larger than a fist, in just a few bites.
Pure spatial energy instantly filled his body, prompting him to quickly circulate his soul power to refine it. His cultivation level rapidly and steadily improved during this absorption process.
This absorption lasted until noon the next day, and it took more than ten hours to completely absorb the energy of the Youxu Fruit. It took even longer than absorbing a spirit ring.
Shi Yu stood up and stretched his body, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"This Youxu Fruit is truly extraordinary," Shi Yu exclaimed in amazement. Driven by the fruit's energy, his soul power successfully reached level 40, and now he had reached a new bottleneck. He only needed to absorb one more soul ring to become a four-ringed soul master, and his strength would be further enhanced.
The most important thing is that I can travel through time again. This time, I need to plan for more benefits after ten thousand years.
In addition to the pure soul power improvement, his spatial ability has also been slightly improved, but his martial soul has not evolved.
His spatial martial spirit had little room for improvement. Although the Youxu Fruit was extremely powerful, it was unable to help his martial spirit break through certain shackles.
