White World – Spirit Hall
Hu Liena couldn't help but inhale sharply as she watched the scene unfold beneath the Heavenly Curtain.
"Teacher... you really weren't exaggerating. You truly were only a hair's breadth away from death."
She turned toward Bibi Dong with lingering fear in her eyes.
"If Dragon God His Eminence hadn't reacted in time and stepped in front of you, His Excellency Thunder wouldn't have been able to redirect his attack. With the power behind that strike, you were only a Spirit Elder back then..."
She couldn't finish her sentence.
Watching it with her own eyes was completely different from simply hearing about it. Only now did she realize how dangerously close her teacher had come to losing her life.
"But..."
Hu Liena looked curiously at Yu Xiaogang.
"The moment you realized what was happening, you immediately stood in front of Teacher."
"Weren't you afraid that His Excellency Thunder wouldn't be able to stop in time and that the attack would hit you instead?"
After all, that strike had been intended to kill Bibi Dong. Even the slightest mistake could have claimed Yu Xiaogang's life instead.
Yu Xiaogang answered calmly.
"My physical body back then was already comparable to that of a Spirit Emperor."
"Bibi Dong was only a Spirit Elder."
"Even if Father's attack had struck me directly, I would have suffered only minor injuries."
"Huh..."
Hu Liena blinked in disappointment.
"I thought..."
She stopped halfway through her sentence before sighing.
"Never mind. I'll just imagine the romantic version myself."
She had expected something like:
"My body moved before my mind could react."
Or perhaps:
"I simply couldn't bear to see her get hurt."
Instead, Yu Xiaogang had given her a completely logical explanation.
It utterly ruined the fantasy she had built in her mind about the relationship between her teacher and Dragon God Douluo.
Seeing her disappointed expression, Yu Xiaogang naturally understood what she had been hoping to hear.
He simply smiled without saying another word.
Of course he knew how to say romantic things.
He wasn't clueless.
Thinking of this, he instinctively glanced toward Bibi Dong.
Their eyes met.
Bibi Dong looked back at him with affection that was impossible to hide.
Now that's more like it.
What's the point of saying those things to Hu Liena?
If I say them to my wife instead, she'll definitely listen to everything I say afterward.
The thought brought a faint smile to his face.
He had already begun planning what the two of them would do once the Heavenly Curtain finished broadcasting.

Meanwhile, at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect...
Yu Yuanzhen coughed awkwardly while watching the Heavenly Curtain.
"Ahem..."
"It really was close."
Back then, he truly had attacked with the intention of killing Bibi Dong.
That single incident had left such a deep impression on her that, even after she officially became Yu Xiaogang's partner, she had remained unwilling to visit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang had worked hard to reconcile both sides.
Otherwise, the conflict might have continued until the present day.

The Video Continues...
"I, Bibi Dong, swear upon both of my Spirits that I will never reveal today's events to any fourth person by any means whatsoever."
"If I break this oath, may both of my Spirits shatter. May my cultivation forever stagnate, my remaining life be filled with suffering and misery, and may I find no peace even after death."
Standing before Yu Yuanzhen and the others, Bibi Dong solemnly swore upon both of her Spirits.
The moment the oath was completed, Yu Yuanzhen visibly relaxed.
"I'm sorry."
He looked at Bibi Dong, who was still hiding behind Yu Xiaogang, and sighed heavily.
The pleasant atmosphere from earlier had completely disappeared.
Looking back on it now, he realized he had truly acted too impulsively.
Had Yu Xiaogang not intervened, and had he really killed Bibi Dong...
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would have paid an enormous price.
Still...
Who could remain calm after seeing such an unbelievable mountain of Spirit Bones?
Yu Xiaogang glanced at the still-frightened Bibi Dong.
He knew the misunderstanding between her and his father wouldn't disappear overnight.
Fortunately, it wasn't an urgent problem.
One belonged to Spirit Hall.
The other was the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Their paths were unlikely to cross often in the future.
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang shifted his attention toward the enormous pile of Spirit Bones.
This was the true treasure before them.
"Father."
"Let's count the Spirit Bones."
"Agreed."
The moment Spirit Bones were mentioned, Yu Yuanzhen forgot everything else.
Nothing was more important.
Father and son immediately approached the glittering mountain of Spirit Bones and carefully began examining each one.
Although still shaken, Bibi Dong quietly followed behind Yu Xiaogang.
Even her attention was completely drawn to the astonishing treasure before her.
Such an overwhelming number of Spirit Bones was enough to make anyone forget everything else.
After a long and meticulous inspection, the final count was completed.
"There are one hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Bones in total."
Yu Yuanzhen's breathing became noticeably heavier.
One hundred and twenty-eight...
An unbelievable one hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Bones.
Even Spirit Hall probably didn't possess so many.
Yu Xiaogang continued reviewing their findings.
"The good news is the quantity."
"The bad news is that high-level Spirit Bones make up only a small portion."
"Out of the one hundred and twenty-eight Spirit Bones, sixty-four are ten-year Spirit Bones."
"Thirty-six are hundred-year Spirit Bones."
"Twenty-one are thousand-year Spirit Bones."
"And only seven are ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones."
"The lower-grade Spirit Bones can be sorted in greater detail later."
"As for the seven ten-thousand-year Spirit Bones..."
"There is one left arm bone."
"Two left leg bones."
"One right arm bone."
A smile slowly spread across Yu Xiaogang's face.
What came next was the real treasure.
"The remaining three are..."
"Two Skull Spirit Bones."
"And..."
"One Torso Spirit Bone."
He turned toward his father with obvious excitement.
"Father..."
"You can finally assemble a complete set of Spirit Bones."
His eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Once Yu Yuanzhen possessed a full Spirit Bone set, his strength would undergo a tremendous transformation.
His cultivation.
His physical foundation.
His combat power.
Everything would rise to an entirely new level.
Then Yu Xiaogang gently lifted the final Spirit Bone.
Its surface emitted a soft blue radiance.
"This Torso Spirit Bone is approximately eighty thousand years old."
"It is both the oldest and the most valuable Spirit Bone here."
"With it..."
"Father, your strength will definitely advance by another tremendous step."
Even Yu Xiaogang found it difficult to remain calm.
Among the six Spirit Bone positions available to every Spirit Master, the Torso Spirit Bone was universally recognized as the most valuable.
Given two Spirit Bones of equal age...
Every Spirit Master would choose the Torso Spirit Bone without hesitation.
Arm Bones and Leg Bones occasionally appeared at auctions.
However...
Skull Bones and Torso Bones almost never did.
The moment such treasures appeared, the auction houses themselves would usually purchase them immediately before they ever reached public bidding.
Now...
The Spirit Bone resting in Yu Xiaogang's hands wasn't merely a Torso Spirit Bone.
It was an eighty-thousand-year Torso Spirit Bone.
Its value was so extraordinary that it was already approaching that of a one-hundred-thousand-year Arm or Leg Spirit Bone.
Obtaining such an unparalleled treasure could only be described as an unbelievable stroke of fortune.
Both father and son stared silently at the Spirit Bone.
Even someone as experienced as Yu Yuanzhen found it difficult to suppress the excitement rising within his heart.
Today...
Their harvest had far exceeded even their wildest expectations.
