"The third Spirit Bone is a 50,000-year Saint Illusion Demonic Ape Skull. After fusion, it can greatly enhance a Spirit Master's mental force and perception, and possesses a fixed Spirit Ability: Mental Shock. Mental Shock is a mental attack Spirit Ability that releases a shockwave directly hitting the soul. This is a very rare mental-type Spirit Bone, and more importantly, it has no fusion restrictions. I highly recommend you acquire this one."
"The fourth Spirit Bone is a 50,000-year Exploding Burning Left Arm Bone, originating from a 50,000-year Blazing Fire Sky Demon Mink. It is named for its fixed Spirit Ability, Flame Burst Strike. After fusion, it can enhance a Spirit Master's fire element affinity and fire element attack power.
It's worth mentioning that Phoenix Douluo Ma Hongjun, one of the Original Shrek Seven Devils from ten thousand years ago, possessed a Right Arm Bone with the same Spirit Ability. Therefore, this Spirit Bone is very suitable for Ma Xiaotao!"
"The fifth Spirit Bone is a 90,000-year Frost Tyrant Dragon Right Leg Bone. This is the most precious of these ten Spirit Bones, and the most valuable in our Star Luo Royal Family treasury, second only to 100,000-year Spirit Bones. It was unexpectedly obtained by a senior of the Star Luo Royal Family a thousand years ago during his training in the Extremely North Land.
As a native of the Tianhun Empire's Northern Border Province, I believe you should be familiar with the Frost Tyrant Dragon Spirit Beast. You can probably guess that this Spirit Bone is prepared for you. Although you may not need it, we still brought it.
This Spirit Bone has not been fused by anyone yet, so its Spirit Ability is unknown, but I can guarantee it's definitely a powerful Spirit Ability! Furthermore, according to the assessments of many powerhouses in the Star Luo Royal Family, fusing this Spirit Bone can enhance physical constitution and ice element attack power!"
"The sixth Spirit Bone is a 70,000-year Spirit Moon Demonic Soul Torso Bone. The Spirit Moon Demonic Soul is an extremely rare type of spiritual Spirit Beast. This Torso Bone comes from a 70,000-year Spirit Moon Demonic Soul. After fusion, it can enhance vitality and all-element resistance, and possesses a fixed Spirit Ability: Spirit Moon Shield.
Spirit Moon Shield generates a shield that can absorb all mental attacks. This Torso Bone is specifically prepared for Jiang Nannan. Although we are not sure what her Spirit is exactly, as long as it is a Spirit related to the moon, this Torso Bone is definitely the best choice."
"The seventh Spirit Bone is a 40,000-year Earth Armored Violent Bear Torso Bone. After fusion, it can greatly enhance a Spirit Master's physical constitution and earth element affinity, and possesses a fixed Spirit Ability: Earth Armor. Earth Armor, when released, forms a rock armor, enhancing a Spirit Master's defense and recovery. This one is very suitable for earth-attribute Spirit Masters and support system Spirit Masters."
"The eighth Spirit Bone is a 30,000-year Profound Crystal Ghost Leopard Left Leg Bone. After fusion, it can enhance a Spirit Master's speed and leg strength, and possesses a fixed Spirit Ability: Profound Crystal Art. Profound Crystal Art, when released, condenses a layer of profound crystal on the Spirit Master's legs, which can enhance the Spirit Master's leg strength and defense."
"The ninth Spirit Bone is a 50,000-year Crimson Bright Armored Beast Left Arm Bone. After fusion, it can enhance a Spirit Master's Light Attribute affinity and defense, and possesses a fixed Spirit Ability: Heavenly Bright Armored Blade Slash. Heavenly Bright Armored Blade Slash, when released, forms an armored blade that has extremely strong cutting and penetrating power, and is especially effective against targets with high defense. This Spirit Bone is suitable for Light Attribute Spirit Masters or blade/sword-type Spirit Masters to fuse."
"The tenth Spirit Bone is a 60,000-year Evil Demon Tiger Whale Left Leg Bone. After fusion, it can enhance water element affinity, dark element affinity, and also improve aptitude, possessing a fixed Spirit Ability: Evil Demon Tiger Whale Slash. Evil Demon Tiger Whale Slash uses the left leg as a blade, transforming into a giant axe, causing damage to targets in a straight line path. For dark-attribute Spirit Masters and water-attribute Spirit Masters, it is a rare Spirit Bone."

While Princess Xu Jiujiu was introducing the ten Spirit Bones to Zhu Ziyang, another banquet was being held in a different hall within the Imperial Palace.
Any person who walked out of this hall would be treated with respect across the entire Douluo Continent.
Old Lin, Old Song, Xian Lin'er, and Cai Meier were all present at this moment. Starlight Douluo Xu Luo, the chief enshrinement of the Star Luo Royal Family's Hall of Enshrinement, was also there, as were other enshrinements from the Hall of Enshrinement, such as Celestial Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu.
However, Titled Douluo of Huang Jinxu's level, like Celestial Fiend Douluo, were not qualified to join the circle of Super Douluo like Old Lin and Xu Luo.
Old Lin and the others sat opposite Xu Luo. Next to Xu Luo were two other elders, who were naturally also Super Douluo; otherwise, they would not have been qualified to sit with Xu Luo. To Xu Luo's left sat an Old Woman named Wang Xian'er. Her Spirit is Healing Angel, she is a Level 96 Super Douluo, and her Title is Medical Immortal. She is undoubtedly the top support system Spirit Master on the Douluo Continent today. To Xu Luo's right sat an elder named Xu Hongxing, a Level 95 Super Douluo with the Title Shattered Star. Like Xu Luo, he comes from the Star Luo Royal Family, and his Spirit is also a special Spirit mutated from the Star Crown, called Shattered Star Light.
These three are the three great Super Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, and the greatest reliance of the Star Luo Royal Family.
A seemingly ordinary hall actually gathered seven Super Douluo. This palace was certainly not built in vain. In fact, this palace was indeed not an ordinary palace, because it was the Star Luo Royal Family's Hall of Enshrinement.
"...Old Lin, I agree to this matter!" Xu Luo said, a hint of an unusual expression flashing across his face. "I will personally take action."
"Good!" Old Lin's face immediately broke into a satisfied smile, and he said, "Shrek Academy will definitely not disappoint your Xu family! Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!" The two, having reached some agreement, laughed simultaneously and then stood up. Xu Luo then stopped laughing and said, "Old Lin, how have you considered my proposal?"
"It's regrettable," Old Lin stopped laughing upon hearing this, and then said helplessly, "I cannot make the decision on this matter. Ziyang is that person's disciple, and this matter can only succeed if that person nods in agreement."
"That person?!" Xu Luo, Wang Xian'er, and Xu Hongxing all showed unusual expressions. At their cultivation level and age, they naturally knew what kind of existence Old Lin was referring to. Xu Luo's voice involuntarily contained a hint of reverence as he said, "Is that person's physical condition...?"
Xu Luo knew about Mu En's injury. Speaking of which, he and Mu En even had a mentor-disciple relationship. Although Mu En had not formally accepted him as a disciple, in his heart, Mu En's status was extremely high.
"Alas! Still the same!" Old Lin couldn't help but sigh and said.
"Alas!" Xu Luo also sighed, and then said, "Since this matter requires Old Mu's approval, then let's put it aside for now."
"Actually," Old Lin, seeing the regret on Xu Luo's face, suddenly spoke, "you can let Princess Princess Xu Jiujiu study at our Academy for a period of time. They are all young people; after spending a long time together, things will naturally..."
"That's right!" Xu Luo immediately showed a surprised smile upon hearing this.

At the other banquet, after Princess Xu Jiujiu finished introducing the ten Spirit Bones, she looked at Zhu Ziyang with burning eyes and said, "How is it? Have you already decided on any Spirit Bones?"
Zhu Ziyang smiled upon hearing this, then looked at Wang Yan, who was deep in thought, and said to him, "Teacher Wang, I will choose three Spirit Bones; you can choose the remaining two!"
"This..." Wang Yan was immediately startled from his contemplation and looked at Zhu Ziyang with gratitude. How could he not understand the implication in Zhu Ziyang's words? That's why he was so grateful and surprised, saying, "Thank you, Ziyang!"
"Hehe!" Zhu Ziyang smiled, not responding to Wang Yan's thanks, but instead looked at Princess Xu Jiujiu and said, "Princess Princess Xu Jiujiu, you are very thoughtful! I choose the Exploding Burning Left Arm Bone, the Spirit Moon Demonic Soul Torso Bone, and the Frost Tyrant Dragon Right Leg Bone!"
"Hehe! These are your best choices!" Princess Xu Jiujiu's face revealed a brilliant smile, not surprised by Zhu Ziyang's choices, because these three Spirit Bones were specifically added for them. If Zhu Ziyang hadn't chosen them, that would have been truly strange. She said, "We have paid a lot for you!"
After Zhu Ziyang made his choices, Wang Yan also made his. He said, "For the remaining two, we will choose the Saint Illusion Demonic Ape Skull and the Evil Demon Tiger Whale Left Leg Bone!"
"Oh?" Princess Xu Jiujiu was surprised by Wang Yan's choice and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Wang Yan, why didn't you choose the Torso Bone and instead chose a Left Leg Bone?"
"Hehe," Wang Yan explained with a smile, "Although the Torso Bone is more valuable than the Left Leg Bone, the Earth Armored Violent Bear cannot compare to the Evil Orca. The Earth Armored Violent Bear is only a high-level Spirit Beast, but the Evil Orca is both a rare and powerful Super Sea Spirit Beast. Moreover, whether in terms of age or in terms of the help it provides to a Spirit Master, the Evil Demon Tiger Whale Left Leg Bone is superior!"
"Clap, clap, clap!" Princess Xu Jiujiu, after hearing Wang Yan's explanation, couldn't help but clap her hands and say, "As expected of a Shrek Academy teacher, able to see things so clearly. Some Spirit Masters, upon seeing a Torso Bone and a Left Arm Bone, wouldn't consider these things at all. They only remember that the Torso Bone has the greatest value, but they overlook what truly determines the value of a Spirit Bone!"
As the championship reward selections were completed, the banquet drew to a close. The Shrek Academy group was no longer in the mood to stay. Their thoughts were all drawn to the five Spirit Bones. Ma Xiaotao and Jiang Nannan were still relatively calm; as the only three main team members who participated in the competition, they were bound to receive a Spirit Bone, and they had both seen the Spirit Bones Zhu Ziyang chose, two of which were clearly prepared for them.
What truly moved people's hearts were the two Spirit Bones in Wang Yan's hand. Zhu Ziyang allowing Wang Yan to choose effectively meant that these two Spirit Bones were implicitly left for the reserve team. However, with seven people in the reserve team, to whom should these two Spirit Bones be given?
This was a matter worth discussing.
Escorted by the palace guards, they returned to the Star Emperor Hotel and immediately held a meeting.
