Killing can only be done with a nod of the head.
But Su Xin did something else entirely. Not only did he kill someone, he also dismembered the body!
This behavior is beyond their comprehension.
They even wondered if it was right or wrong for them to have chosen such a master.
However, Su Xin didn't care about their reaction at all.
His entire attention was focused on his "work".
'Found it, the sternum.'
Su Xin's fingers touched a hard bone.
He could sense that this bone was distinctly different from the surrounding bones in terms of texture and energy fluctuations.
Without hesitation, he exerted force with his fingers and forcefully broke off the soul bone that had already fused with Tang Hao's own bones!
The crisp sound of bones breaking was particularly jarring in the deathly silence of the night.
Su Xin took out the piece of breastbone covered in blood and flesh, and casually used his soul power to shake off the bloodstains, revealing its original appearance.
It was a soul bone with a dark golden color, covered with mysterious patterns, and exuding a heavy and domineering aura.
"A decent quality torso bone, judging by its appearance, is at least 50,000 years old."
Su Xin nodded in satisfaction and put it into his storage soul tool.
Then he continued with his "work".
Soon, he dug out a piece of black skull from Tang Hao's head.
A piece of arm bone was removed from the left arm.
Another leg bone was found in the right leg.
Although these three soul bones are not as old as the torso bone, they are still exquisite pieces of ten thousand years old.
This is the foundation of a top-tier sect!
Unfortunately, all of these have now benefited Su Xin.
All four soul bones were collected.
Su Xin stood up and looked at the mutilated corpse on the ground, which was almost unrecognizable as human, without any emotion in his eyes.
To him, Tang Hao was always just a source of experience, a mobile treasure trove.
Now that I've gained experience and taken all the treasures, this physical body has no value whatsoever.
He then extended his finger and gently touched the corpse on the ground.
A ball of ghostly blue flame appeared out of thin air and landed on the corpse.
The flames had no temperature whatsoever, yet possessed a terrifying ability to burn.
In an instant, Tang Hao's body, along with the bloodstains on the ground, was burned to ashes, leaving not a trace behind.
Truly, his bones were crushed to ashes and his remains were scattered.
After doing all this, Su Xin clapped his hands, as if he had only done a trivial little thing.
He turned around and looked at the two men who were completely terrified.
"Okay, the trash has been disposed of."
"We should go back now, I'm a little tired."
His tone was as casual as if he had just gone out to throw away a bag of trash.
Upon hearing his words, Flander and Zhao Wuji seemed to wake from a dream, and shuddered.
They looked at Su Xin's calm and composed face.
Looking at the empty ground again, the fear in my heart had reached its peak.
This is absolutely the most ruthless person they've ever met in their lives!
The two dared not utter another word, and simply nodded frantically.
Then, following behind Su Xin without saying a word, they walked towards the direction of Slake Academy.
On the way back, the night wind blew, stirring up dust from the ground.
Flander and Zhao Wuji followed behind Su Xin. No one spoke a word the whole way, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Their minds were filled with the events of the night, those scenes that shattered their worldview.
The fall of Haotian Douluo, the appearance of the 100,000-year-old soul bone, and Su Xin's extremely ruthless method of searching bones and scattering ashes.
All of this felt like a mountain, weighing heavily on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.
They knew that from tonight onwards, the fate of Slake Academy, and even their own, would be sealed.
They will all be inextricably linked with this unfathomable man.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, they don't know.
All they knew was that they had no other choice.
Chapter 31 Tang San! Dad, don't leave me!
When Su Xin and his two companions returned to Slake Academy, it was already very late at night.
The entire village was shrouded in tranquility, with only the occasional chirping of insects coming from the grass.
In the college's dormitory building, most of the lights in the rooms were already off.
In a simple room, Ning Rongrong lay sprawled on the bed, fast asleep, with a trace of drool still hanging from the corner of her mouth.
Today was a whole day of long journeys and taking that ridiculously difficult entrance exam.
This little princess of the Qibao Glazed Tile School was already so exhausted that she was about to fall apart.
As soon as she touched the bed, she fell into a deep sleep without even taking a shower.
In another room.
Zhu Zhuqing and her sister Zhu Zhuyun slept more soundly than ever before.
Although Su Xin's appearance was domineering and shameless, it did indeed give them a great sense of security.
Unlike the quietness of the girls' dormitory, the boys' dormitory was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
"Ouch...it hurts!"
Dai Mubo lay on the bed, grimacing.
Ma Hongjun was applying a bottle of liniment, which he had somehow gotten his hands on, to his bruised and battered back.
"Fatty, go easy on me! Are you trying to murder your boss, Dai Mubai?" Dai Mubai winced in pain.
"Ouch, Boss Dai, your injury is really bad. Your bones are probably cracked."
Ma Hongjun applied the medicine while marveling at it.
"That teacher Su is too ruthless! We're just students, how could he treat us like enemies!"
Oska, standing next to him, was holding his sausage spirit and offering it to Dai Mubai's mouth.
"Come on, Boss Dai, have a giant recovery sausage to replenish your energy."
Dai Mubai glanced at the greasy sausage with disdain, but still opened his mouth and took a bite.
"Ruthless? That's not ruthless anymore! That's crushing!"
"I feel like a three-year-old child in front of him, with no chance to fight back!"
The thought of the terror of being dominated by Su Xin during the day brought a deep sense of horror to Dai Mubai's eyes.
"But then again, he is ridiculously strong."
"He's so young. I initially thought he was about our age, but it turns out he's a Soul Emperor."
“Boss Dai,” Ma Hongjun suddenly sidled up to him with a sly grin.
"If you ask me, you should just give up on that fiancée! There are plenty of fish in the sea! You can't mess with Teacher Su."
"Exactly!" Auska chimed in.
"With money, what kind of woman can't you find?"
"The Rose Hotel has all kinds of beauties, from plump to slender! I guarantee you'll be so happy you won't want to leave!"
"Get lost!" Dai Mubai snapped angrily. "What do you know?!"
Although he said that, his eyes couldn't help but dim.
Give up? That's easier said than done.
That wasn't just about his fiancée; it was about his future, even his life.
The group was chatting animatedly, but no one noticed what was happening in another corner of the room.
Xiaowu was sitting on the edge of a bed, her eyes red, tears streaming down her face.
Lying on the bed was none other than the little scoundrel.
During the daytime assessment, he was beaten the worst by Su Xin and is still unconscious, his face as pale as a sheet of paper.
Xiaowu quietly watched over him, occasionally wiping the cold sweat from his forehead with a damp towel.
His eyes were filled with worry and heartache.
The room was filled with a stark contrast: on one side, Dai Mubai and his friends were making a lot of noise, while on the other side, Xiaowu was quietly weeping.
"what!!!"
A piercing scream suddenly shattered the tranquility of the room!
The previously unconscious scoundrel suddenly sat up in bed as if he were possessed by something terrifying!
His eyes were tightly closed, veins bulged on his forehead, and his face was filled with pain and fear.
"dad!!"
