Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 190: Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Reward, Soul Beast Traces
Although his spirit level hadn't increased, some abilities had been enhanced. For example, teleportation had increased by about 20% to 30% compared to before. With the same energy consumption, he could travel farther, which further improved his ability to travel.
"It's a pity there's no spatial rift for me to try and enter." Shi Yu wanted to test the ability he had acquired.
Theoretically, I can enter the space crack, but I don't know what it will be like if I try it.
Feeling that Xuan Lao and the others were gathered outside, he gathered his thoughts and pushed the door open to leave.
"How's it going?" Jiang Nannan was the first to trot over and look at him expectantly.
The others also knew that Shi Yu had taken the Youxu Fruit in the house. Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong and the others watched curiously.
Xuan Lao smiled, feeling Shi Yu's soul power and breaking through.
Shi Yu smiled slightly, looked at everyone and said: "I have broken through to level 40, and my spatial ability has also been strengthened. This time I owe the Xingluo Empire a big favor."

"Now that you've achieved a breakthrough, you should prepare to return to the academy. The academy has been searching for a suitable fourth spirit ring for you, but I don't know if there has been any success," said Elder Xuan.
"Okay," Shi Yu nodded, and did not mention to Xuan Lao the information he had received from the Xingluo Empire about a suitable dual-attribute spirit beast of time and space.
He planned to obtain that soul beast to become the soul ring of his time martial soul. The way to get the space attribute soul ring through the academy is...
Time is even harder to come by than space, and if he finally comes across one, he will naturally use the more scarce time.
The group set out to return to the academy, traveling in secrecy, via the Star Luo Empire's commercial convoy.
They blended into the commercial convoy from Xingluo City to Shrek City, making it less likely to attract an ambush from the Body Sect.
Over the past month, Xuan Lao's injuries have not fully recovered. A strong man of his level is not easily injured.
But once you get hurt, it's probably not a minor injury, and recovery is not easy.
It's basically impossible to recover from this injury without a year or two.
Since his injuries had not fully recovered, he lacked confidence, so he chose a relatively low-key and safe way to return.
No one from Shrek Academy was sent to help. If Du Bu Si came to kill him again, we wouldn't be safe unless Elder Mu came.
Of course, this wasn't just to protect against the Body Sect, it was also to protect against other people with ulterior motives.
The talent and ability that Shi Yu displayed this time were too exaggerated, and it might arouse jealousy, and it is not ruled out that they would take the opportunity to do something to stifle the talent.
Shrek Academy has many friends and enemies, so sometimes it's a good idea to be careful.
The journey was smooth, and they successfully returned to Shrek City after five days.
Upon their return, they were given a high-level reception, and the college held a celebration banquet for them.
Shi Yu, Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, Jiang Nannan, and Ma Xiaotao were called into a room in the Sea God Pavilion.
Moon looked at them with a smile, and after scanning the area, his eyes fell on Shi Yu. He nodded with great satisfaction and said:
"I heard Xuan Zi talk about your performance. It was very good. Not only did it not disappoint me, it surprised me."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher," Shi Yu said respectfully, then looked at Mu Lao eagerly, saying silently, "Where is my reward?"
Seeing his envious look, Moon couldn't help but smile and nodded to Yan Shaozhe beside him.
The latter flipped his hand and found a rectangular sandalwood box in his hand. It was quite large and required both hands to hold.
There was no fluctuation coming out of it, it just looked like a relatively delicate sandalwood box.
But Shi Yu became excited. This should contain the 100,000-year-old spatial attribute soul bone.
"Don't open it in a hurry," Yan Shaozhe handed the box to Shi Yu and warned him.
Shi Yu also understood what Yan Shaozhe meant. There were other people around, so he might be afraid of being jealous.
"You five have all done well. The academy will give you appropriate rewards based on your performance," Moon said, looking at the others.
Yan Shaozhe began to announce the rewards for the five of them, all based on their contributions.

Of the five, only Ma Xiaotao received a soul bone reward. She played little role in the first half of the game, but played a significant role in the second half, becoming the second most valuable contributor after Shi Yu.
It is only natural to obtain a soul bone.
The three soul bones awarded by the Xingluo Empire are not suitable for Ma Xiaotao, so the academy will replace them with a fire attribute soul bone.
Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong jointly obtained a ten thousand year soul bone, while Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao jointly obtained a ten thousand year soul bone.
The academy will not take these three soul bones, and will give them to the participating students as rewards.
Even with Huo Yuhao and the others' performance, they were not qualified to receive the spirit bone reward.
Shi Yu is the absolute main force of this competition. The others have relatively limited roles and deserve rewards, but the soul bone rewards are too high.
The decision to award them soul bones was also made considering that these people had good talents and were worth cultivating.
The two of them shared a soul bone, which posed a problem. The academy did not interfere with the division, allowing them to discuss it privately.
This was a difficult question. Jiang Nannan and Xiao Xiao were both silent for a long time.
It was Shi Yu who helped to negotiate and finally determined how to distribute the soul bones. Jiang Nannan was given the soul bones, but Jiang Nannan had to compensate Xiaoxiao with one million gold soul coins.
The price of this ten thousand year soul bone is about two million, so giving a million gold soul coins as compensation is not an exaggeration.
Jiang Nannan didn't have that much money, so she could only write an IOU and pay it back later.
As for how Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong would divide the soul bone, it was unknown. Shi Yu did not help with the distribution, so they would handle it themselves.
It is worth mentioning that Elder Xuan did not give Huo Yuhao the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone he bought at the auction.
This soul bone is worth tens of millions, but Huo Yuhao's current contributions to the academy are not enough to earn him this soul bone reward.
This will be awarded to him only after he has made sufficient contributions to the academy.
"We've made some progress in our search for space-attribute soul beasts, but I'm not sure if you can handle the enormous energy," Yan Shaozhe then mentioned the soul beasts.
"What year is it?" Shi Yu asked in surprise. The academy's search efficiency was quite good.
"Close to 20,000 years," Yan Shaozhe said.
Shi Yu also felt that it was a bit high. It would be more appropriate for him to absorb the spirit rings of spirit beasts between 10,000 and 15,000 years old.
"So how long would it take to find a soul beast that's over ten thousand years old?" Shi Yu asked.
Yan Shaozhe shook his head and said, "Finding a soul beast with spatial attributes depends entirely on luck. If you're lucky, it might only take a few days. If you're unlucky, you might not find it even after spending years."

"This 20,000-year-old space-attributed soul beast was only discovered by chance after we mobilized many hunting teams. We found such a beast in just a few months. Just imagine how difficult it was to find it."

"We've already spent nearly two million to find a suitable soul beast academy for you, and we'll have to spend more money later. It's estimated that the cost of collecting all the soul rings for you will be tens of millions."

Shrek Academy had many strong men, but they couldn't mobilize all of them to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to search for soul beasts. They sent some of their own and also paid for a specialized hunting team to help them search.
Nearly a thousand people were mobilized to help search the Star Dou Great Forest, and this cost a lot of money every day.
Furthermore, it wasn't just the Star Dou Great Forest; people were also dispatched to search other Soul Beast Forests, which was also a considerable expense.
