Chapter 239: Chapter 239: The Competitive SystemShen An stiffened slightly. Feeling the warmth of the young girl’s body, he didn’t speak, just silently stroked Zhu Zhuqing’s black hair. This move by Zhu Zhuqing could be said to be very bold, even an explicit indication of her feelings for Shen An. And during the days of his travels, Zhu Zhuqing would miss him, and how could he not think of her as well? The most beautiful thing in the world is when feelings are mutual. "Zhuqing, wait until the Soul Master Tournament is over, okay? Let me first help you break the shackles of your family." Shen An said softly. Zhu Zhuqing’s body trembled slightly, and she nodded silently. The family’s arrangement had always hung over her heart like a dark cloud. "Then you still deliberately went to the Heaven Dou Second Team," Zhu Zhuqing reached out and gave him a light pinch, saying resentfully. Shen An was slightly embarrassed. "You figured it out?" "Hmph, you think I’m Rongrong? Carefree all day, not thinking about anything." "With your strength and talent, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration for the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to attach great importance to you. How could you possibly make such a low-level mistake as filling in the wrong team?" Shen An felt a little guilty. He couldn’t just say that it was to maximize his fame that he thought of taking a mascot and smashing through the tournament alone. "Zhuqing, although I’m not on the first team, I can still help you prove yourself." "Look what this is." Shen An flipped his hand and took out a left arm bone that emitted a khaki-colored light. Zhu Zhuqing was instantly stunned. Soul bones were also divided into different grades. The soul bone Shen An took out was a left arm bone, which, logically speaking, was not as good as a skull bone. But Zhu Zhuqing could clearly feel that the quality of this left arm bone surpassed the two soul bones Shen An had taken out before. Even just by looking at it with her eyes, she could feel its top-grade attributes. It was so different, its entire body emitting a khaki-colored light, as heavy as the earth, filled with an incomparable sense of power. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing’s heart was filled with an indescribable shock. "This is?" Shen An smiled, "This is the soul bone of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape. Zhuqing, absorb it. It will definitely bring you a considerable improvement." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Shen An in disbelief. "Shen An, this is a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, an absolute treasure in the soul master world." At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing’s heart was incomparably horrified. She didn’t know why Shen An could take out a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and one from the king of soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape, at that. A Titan Giant Ape of ten thousand years could fight a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. The bonus brought by a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape soul bone was simply unimaginable. Such a soul bone making a soul master invincible at the same level was simply a basic operation. Even fighting above one’s rank would be as common as eating and drinking. This was the power of a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. But Zhu Zhuqing’s heart had no greed at all. Instead, she said with a grave expression: "Shen An, if you take this out, countless Titled Douluo will fight to the death for it." "I absolutely will not take this. It’s too precious. You should hurry up and absorb it. This will be of greater help to you." Shen An smiled, "This soul bone was left for you. I have better ones. Don’t worry about me." Shen An really didn’t believe it. Since the system provided him with soul rings, there was no reason it wouldn’t provide soul bones. Anyway, he had the patience to wait. "I don’t believe you. A hundred-thousand-year soul bone is already the best. How can there be anything better than it? Shen An, just absorb it." Zhu Zhuqing’s small face puffed up, thinking that Shen An was just coaxing her. Shen An looked helpless on the surface, but complained in his heart, System, you tell me what to do. I can’t prove it. [Ding! Considering the host’s strong request, this system will make a special exception and activate the soul bone exchange. Two million fame value can be exchanged for one soul bone.] [In the future, every time the host’s fame value increases by twenty million, one soul bone will be rewarded.] Was this his strong request? Why did he feel it was because Zhu Zhuqing said there was nothing better than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and then the system started to get competitive? Exchange, Shen An said silently in his heart. A left arm bone as white as jade appeared in Shen An’s hand, emitting an indescribable might. "See? This one is the most suitable for me," Shen An said. Zhu Zhuqing’s gaze condensed. For some reason, when she saw this bone, she felt as if it was born to be paired with Shen An. "Alright, Zhuqing. It just so happens that there’s nothing to do tomorrow. You can absorb this soul bone now. Rongrong should be absorbing the other one. I’ll stand guard for you." Zhu Zhuqing no longer refused. Since Shen An had a better choice, she would not be coy anymore. After all, she also longed for power. Holding the Titan Giant Ape left arm bone in her hand, Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath. Shen An was too good to her. And she must use this to prove herself to her family in the Soul Master Tournament, defeat her own sister, and smoothly break off the engagement with Dai Mubai, so that she can truly pursue what she wants. Zhu Zhuqing pressed the left arm bone against her own left arm. Buzz— A heavy, earth-like aura drilled into her arm. The soul bone quietly disappeared, and an endless stream of energy transformed Zhu Zhuqing’s body. Her body was emitting a shimmering light, and her aura was constantly rising. Shen An casually set up a layer of soul power to conceal the aura, and a sharp sword qi blocked anyone who might possibly try to investigate. Shen An gently looked at the left arm bone in his hand. It was as white as jade, perfect and flawless. For some reason, he always had a feeling that the soul bone had appeared too abruptly. According to the system’s instructions, a soul bone would be rewarded at the two-thousand fame milestone. Then why did the first one cost him two million fame value to exchange for? Could it be because Zhuqing questioned that there was nothing better than a hundred-thousand-year soul bone, and the system wanted to prove itself? But it hadn’t reached the requirement for the first soul bone to be distributed, so it let me exchange it with fame value. This could also explain why the subsequent soul bones were in the form of rewards. Damn it, I was scammed by the system. Shen An was helpless, but if he were given another chance, he would still choose to make the exchange. Otherwise, Zhu Zhuqing would never have absorbed that Titan Giant Ape’s left arm bone. Shen An cast aside his distracting thoughts, walked out of Zhu Zhuqing’s room, and sat in the living room, his perception ability turned to the maximum. He had to simultaneously pay attention to the situation of both Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong absorbing their soul bones. The two girls absorbing their soul bones actually lasted for a full day and two nights. And this was because Tom and Jerry, with nothing to do, tossed the motes of light on the two girls back into their bodies. Otherwise, Shen An estimated that it would not necessarily be completely absorbed in three days. I was careless. I didn’t know that absorbing a soul bone was so time-consuming. Fortunately, there was the assistance of Tom and Jerry, plus they are on the same team and don’t have to compete, Shen An thought to himself. The two girls opened their eyes almost in sync, their auras having improved to different degrees. Compared to Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing’s improvement was greater. As an agility-attack type, at this moment, she actually gave Shen An a feeling of being even more powerful than the Strength Clan’s Tai Nuo from before. Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing’s body shape did not undergo any major changes. Otherwise, if she really became a King Kong Barbie, Shen An really wouldn’t know how to adapt. Zhu Zhuqing suddenly smiled radiantly, "Shen An, come, let’s have a battle." Ning Rongrong also joined in the fun, "Me too, I’ll go with Zhuqing."
