"Deal!"
Under the anticipatory gazes of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, Qin Xiao nodded.
In reality, the price offered by Ning Fengzhi was even higher than what Qin Xiao had in mind.
Why would there be any objections then?
Soon, the transaction was completed, with Ning Fengzhi getting six soul bones and Qin Xiao pocketing ten Black Cards.
"Brother Qin, rest assured, each Black Card has a limit of three million golden soul coins. Should there be any discrepancies, you can always come to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to find me."
Ning Fengzhi patted his chest in assurance.
"Haha, Brother Ning, you speak as if we're strangers, since I'm transacting with you, I trust your character."
Qin Xiao didn't even look at the amount on the cards before he stowed them all away.
Then, he waved over to Flander in the distance, "Dean Flanders, please come over."
"What do you want me for?"
Flander was puzzled, could it be that he wanted to silence him?
With this thought, his heart filled with panic.
"Don't worry, it's good news."
Qin Xiao saw Flander's hesitation and shook his head in annoyance.
Good news?
Then there's nothing to worry about.
Flander trusted Qin Xiao and found no reason for the latter to deceive him.
"I'm willing to provide funds to rebuild Shrek Academy, which suffered damage during the fight with Tang Xiao."
As Flander approached, Qin Xiao said.
"No, there's no need."
Flander waved his hand.
However, when Qin Xiao took out a Black Card and handed it over, Flander verbally protested, "How could I accept this?"
But he honestly clenched the Black Card in his hand.
When he saw the amount on the card, Flander was dumbfounded.
"One, one million gold soul coins?"
Flander's hands were trembling.
My God, I, Flander, have never seen so much money in my life.
"Your Highness, is this money really for me?"
Flander asked tentatively, "You're not trying to give me ten thousand or a hundred thousand gold soul coins and accidentally handed the wrong card, are you?"
Qin Xiao laughed, "Do I look like someone who would make such a mistake?"
"No."
Flander gleefully put away the Black Card.
"Hmph, this kid knows how to curry favor with gestures," Sword Douluo muttered under his breath.
He recognized that the Black Card Qin Xiao had just taken out was the one Ning Fengzhi gave to Qin Xiao as a greeting gift.
"Elder, you're mistaken, what do you mean currying favor? It's my money to spend as I wish."
"Even if I want to spend a million or throw away a million, there's absolutely no problem," Qin Xiao stated as he produced a wad of Black Cards in his hand.
All of them were, without exception, courtesy of Ning Fengzhi's generosity.
Sword Douluo was left speechless at that moment.
Just then, Ning Fengzhi stepped forward to make a fist and palm salute toward Qin Xiao, "Brother Qin, I still have some sect affairs to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer."
"Sect Master Ning, no need for courtesy, just go on with your business," Qin Xiao gestured back with surprise.
He clearly understood that Ning Fengzhi's so-called affairs meant going back to the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect to share the spoils.
After all, only after the soul bones were refined and enhanced his strength could he be truly at ease.
"Qin Kid, next time we meet, my sword will definitely surpass you," Sword Douluo also threw down a challenging remark.
Qin Xiao chuckled, "We shall see."
That indifferent attitude made Sword Douluo so frustrated he felt like spitting blood.
He always felt that Qin Xiao did not take him seriously.
However.
However, Flander received an important piece of information from Sword Douluo's words.
That is, Qin Xiao had a private bout with Sword Douluo, and it seemed that the victory belonged to Qin Xiao?
This...
That's just too awesome!
"That..."
After calming down, Flander stammered, "Your Highness, actually, there is another matter I would like to discuss with you."
"What is it?" Qin Xiao had a feeling that Flander was up to something.
"Previously in the grand soul fighting arena, I came across a former student of our academy, Qin Ming. He's currently teaching at the Sky Dou Royal Academy..."
"Oh..." Qin Xiao elongated his tone, "Is it that he's willing to pull some strings, to allow the students and teachers of Shrek Academy to join Sky Dou Royal Academy?"
"Your Highness is wise," a glint flashed in Flander's eyes.
He found that speaking to a smart person saves effort.
"The Sky Dou Royal Academy, whether it's the teaching forces or the living and cultivation conditions provided to the students, is not something our Shrek Academy can compare with. Joining them would be very beneficial for the students and teachers of Shrek."
Flander gave his reasoning.
Qin Xiao didn't speak immediately but stared at Flander until Flander became a bit flustered. Then he spoke faintly, "Are you really not trying to embezzle One Million Gold Soul Coins by making this decision?"
Ah, this...
Flander was momentarily shocked, then his face showed a look of terror: "Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing. If Your Highness isn't willing, I will start rebuilding Shrek Academy right now to show my determination."
Flander was really panicking inside.
This person was a tough nut to crack; he had personally seen the Sect Master of the number one sect in the world fall at Qin Xiao's hands and had witnessed Qin Xiao chatting and laughing with Ning Fengzhi.
Although Flander prided himself on being shrewd, he didn't dare to play any tricks in front of Qin Xiao.
"Haha, Dean Flanders, don't be nervous, I was just joking,"
Suddenly, Qin Xiao laughed, "Since you're so considerate of the academy's students, I naturally have no reason to refuse you. When do we leave?"
"Phew."
Hearing that, Flander let out a sigh of relief, and glancing at the ruins that were once Shrek, he suggested, "How about we leave now? It would save everyone the trouble of packing."
"Good,"
Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
In fact, even if Flander hadn't made the suggestion, he was planning to leave Shrek Academy for a while anyway.
Since he was foes with Tang San and Tang Hao, he couldn't let his opponents grow unchecked.
For example, go trim the chives at Du Gu Bo's Icefire Polarized Eyes.
Drop a poison in Slaughter City.
Or go to Tiandou City to borrow the Boundless Universe Shield for a spin...
Qin Xiao couldn't believe they wouldn't be doomed if he set his mind to it.
And Flander's suggestion coincided almost perfectly with Qin Xiao's next itinerary.
"Perfect, I'll head to the Tiandou Empire first to discuss the farmland development project with Du Gu Bo,"
Qin Xiao had already decided what he would do next.
The only thing he hoped for was that Du Gu Bo wouldn't be unappreciative.
...
"Too terrifying,"
"It's really too terrifying!"
Elsewhere, a hundred miles away, Tang Hao looked in the direction of Shrek, still with a look of horror on his face.
In fact, after Tang Xiao's Ring Explosion, he hadn't fled too far.
He even thought about helping Tang Xiao fight Qin Xiao again.
But then.
After Qin Xiao used that terrifying finger attack, he abandoned all thoughts of returning.
Such terrible power, Tang Hao admitted that even he in his prime couldn't necessarily withstand it.
Kerplunk!
Suddenly, Tang Hao knelt in the direction of Shrek.
"Big brother, your sacrifice will not be in vain, I swear I will personally take revenge on Qin Xiao for you one day!"
"Big brother, rest assured, I will take care of the Hao Tian Clan for you."
"Big brother, may your journey be smooth!"
After saying this, Tang Hao kowtowed three times in succession.
"You see that guy, he looks like a dog."
"Enough, stop blabbering and let's get back to the academy. I can't wait to see Senior Yi Ran's attached soul bone."
"Quiet, is that something to talk about so casually? Luckily there are no Soul Masters nearby."
At this moment, two voices arose from behind Tang Hao.
Tang Hao turned around to see two young men wearing academy uniforms passing by his side.
"Wait."
Tang Hao called out to the two men.
"What is it?"
"Looking to stand up for yourself, are you? I advise you to not make trouble, better head home and carry manure instead."
One of the two spoke up.
"What did you just say? Attached soul bone?"
Tang Hao ignored the insults from the two men and instead asked.
"What attached soul bone? I don't know what you're talking about?"
Seeing this, the faces of the two young men changed, realizing that this shabby-looking man was very likely a Soul Master as well.
Whoosh...
The next moment, the two felt a gust of wind followed by a sharp pain in their bellies.
No longer able to stand, they fell to the ground, convulsing like shrimps.
"I'll ask you one last time, where are you from? Who has the attached soul bone?"
"If you don't answer, there's only death waiting for you."
Tang Hao's voice was unmistakably cold,
and he was not joking.
"I'll tell you, we're from the Ten Thousand Beast Academy, and the one who got the attached soul bone is our academy's Senior Meng Yiran. She is also the granddaughter of our dean,"
"If you know what's good for you, you won't make things difficult for us. You might not know this, but when our dean and vice dean join hands..."
However, they were interrupted by Tang Hao before they could finish speaking.
Only to hear Tang Hao say indifferently, "The World-covering Dragons and Snakes couple, together they can contend with a Titled Douluo, I'm aware of that."
"You know..."
The two men were stunned.
And Tang Hao no longer paid them any attention, walking off into the distance.
Originally, he had wanted to find Tang San in the Aquipeia Forest, but now he had no choice but to make a trip to the Ten Thousand Beast Academy instead.
An attached soul bone, a soul bone capable of growth, is an absolute treasure among treasures for a Soul Master.
Even more rare than a soul bone, Tang Hao had thought it was merely a legend.
"If it were before, I might have let it go."
"But now, burdened by a deep-seated vendetta, I will not let pass any opportunity that can enhance my strength!"
"He who carries the jade invites trouble upon himself. Dragon Duke and Snake Duchess, Meng Yiran, I hope the information I got is wrong; otherwise, I shall have to kill and take the bone."
Thinking thus, Tang Hao set out on the road to the Ten Thousand Beast Academy.
...
Three days later,
as night fell, under Ning Rongrong's lead, the people from Shrek Academy finally reached their destination, the Sky Dou Royal Academy.
"Rongrong, are you sure this is the Sky Dou Royal Academy? No mistake, right?"
Dean Flanders repeatedly confirmed.
"Of course," Ning Rongrong was absolutely certain.
"To run an academy here, how much money..."
Dean Flanders was dumbfounded.
The place was picturesque, nestled between mountains and rivers—hardly looking like an academy but more like a paradise on earth.
After some thought, Ning Rongrong said seriously, "Dean Flanders, to be honest, opening an academy here isn't just about having money. This place is a symbol of royal identity!"
"They say golden and silver nests can't compare to one's own dog nest; I think even this place is not as good as Shrek Academy."
It was then that Zhao Wuji, shoulders crossed, spoke disdainfully.
He never liked places that were all about rules and restrictions.
"Hmph, such big talk without shame. Do you really think our Sky Dou Royal Academy can be compared to any old kennel?"
"Where did these country bumpkins come from? Go back to where you came from."
Along with the voices, several figures appeared.
They were all wearing the uniform of the Sky Dou Royal Academy, and their gaze towards the Shrek Academy group was like looking at a bunch of country bumpkins.
Looking at these people, Qin Xiao's gaze flickered, "The one surrounded by everyone must be Avalanche, right?"
However, even though he recognized Avalanche, he had no intention of directly interfering.
Because only if Avalanche got beaten up could he go find Xue Xing and Du Gu Bo.
And Qin Xiao just so happened to want to talk to Du Gu Bo.
Moreover, Avalanche really did have a foul mouth; getting hit a few times wouldn't be too much.
"Hello, we have been invited by the Sky Dou Royal Academy..."
Flander tried to control his voice as he spoke.
"You must be joking!"
"Why would our academy invite you? To farm?"
"Hahaha."
Avalanche was already laughing as he spoke.
"Mubai, make him shut up."
As soon as Flander's voice fell, Dai Mubai stepped forward immediately.
It had to be said, Dai Mubai was competent. In a matter of moments, several students of the Sky Dou Royal Academy were laid flat on the ground.
"Pfft."
Avalanche spat out a mouthful of blood, threatening, "Good, good, good, do you know who I am?"
However, before the Shrek Academy group could answer, another voice came from within the academy.
"Teachers, you have arrived."
Swish, swish, swish, a multitude of gazes followed the sound, and a distinguished-looking young man strode towards them from the direction of the academy.
"It's Teacher Qin!"
"Teacher Qin actually called these people teachers?"
The students of the Sky Dou Royal Academy were dumbfounded, looking at the Shrek group in shock.
Qin Ming frowned, glanced at the Sky Dou Royal Academy students, and then said to Flander and the others, "Teachers, please follow me. The three educational committee members of the Royal Academy have been waiting for a long time."
Saying this, he led everyone towards the interior of the Sky Dou Royal Academy.
"Fine, an exchange visit, is it?"
"If you can manage to exchange anything, I'll write the character 'Xue' upside down!"
Avalanche watched the disappearing group with a resentful gaze before leaving the academy himself.
...
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance to the Sky Dou Royal Academy's Educational Committee, where three black-clad elders in Martial Soul Hall's formal attire had been waiting for quite some time.
"To be greeted by three Soul Douluo, that counts as quite sincere."
Flander was taken aback.
At that moment, everyone's mood was similar to his, as the dissatisfaction resulting from the unpleasant encounter at the academy's gates had already vanished.
Flander stepped forward with his hands crossed over his shoulders. He bowed slightly, "Shrek Academy, Flander. A pleasure to meet our seniors."
The slender Dream Divine Machine from the middle of the trio took big strides to meet them, pulling down Flander's hands from his shoulders, "Dean Flanders gracing us with his guidance is an honor for our academy. I am the head of the Educational Committee, Dream Divine Machine."
While speaking, Dream Divine Machine pointed to the old, plump man on his left, "This is the secondary committee member of the Educational Committee, Bai Baoshan, a Soul Douluo."
Then he pointed to the old man on his right, "This is the tertiary committee member of the Educational Committee, Zhi Lin, a Soul Douluo."
After the introductions, Dream Divine Machine added, "Please, don't be restrained, everyone. Come on in."
The inside of the Educational Committee was very simple, only equipped with necessary decorations and a few simple green plants for embellishment.
Once everyone was seated, they exchanged pleasantries.
Finally, unable to contain his curiosity, Dream Divine Machine asked, "I've heard from Teacher Qin Ming that the students from Shrek Academy are all little monsters. I wonder, could you indulge us with a demonstration?"
Huh?
Flander was startled. It was easy to talk about others, like Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing showing their abilities.
But Qin Xiao...
Are you asking a Titled Douluo to perform for you?
