Chapter 232: Enough for You to Learn for a Lifetime
Chapter 232 Enough for You to Learn for a Lifetime
"Arthas is a monster, a real monster!" Jing Hongchen sighed and briefly recounted what happened in the previous year.
"Fortunately, he did not participate in the last Soul Master Competition." Many exchange students were shocked and relieved at the same time.
When he went to their academy for exchange, Arthas was already a Soul King above level 55. That is to say, when the last Soul Master Competition was held, Arthas was still a Soul King. Excluding the help of his newly developed soul guide, his combat power would not be much worse than it is now.
With such combat power, coupled with Minghui, whom Xiao Hongchen has never defeated, their Sun and Moon Soul Instructor Academy is bound to be slaughtered.
"There is such a person in Shrek Academy." Meng Hongchen was also shocked.
"Hehe, now you are from our Mingde Hall." The tutor who spoke before said with a smile.
"For a talent like Arthas, Shrek Academy simply cannot fully tap into his soul guide talent. Only our Mingde Hall can do it."
Meng Hongchen nodded slightly. She was absolutely confident in Mingdetang in terms of soul guides.
Thinking of what he had seen and heard over the past year, he couldn't help but sigh, "Everything about Shrek Academy is good, but the top management is a little short-sighted and too focused on the honor of the academy."
"This point is particularly evident in Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Wuhun Department. This is also my experience from this exchange at Shrek Academy."
"That old fellow Yan Shaozhe is really too narrow-minded!" Xiao Hongchen continued.
After spending two and a half years at Shrek Academy, he also heard some rumors about Yan Shaozhe.
"If it were me, I would have Xuan Zi assassinate Dai Hao and make Arthas completely loyal to me."
"With Xuan Zi's cultivation and the reputation of Shrek Academy in the original three empires, a random trap would be enough to make Dai Hao die inexplicably."
"As long as you don't reveal it to others, who would know that it was Shrek Academy who did it?"
"Grandpa, if Arthas is as powerful as you say, as long as he is trained well, he will almost certainly become a Titled Douluo and a ninth-level soul master in the future. And if he stays in Shrek Academy, he might really become the first ninth-level soul master."
"This is much more valuable than one Dai Hao."
"Speaking of which, if he really succeeds in the future, he might even be able to help us by coming to our college to exchange what he has learned."
Jing Hongchen's eyes flashed. Given Arthas's worth, he certainly wouldn't let him go. This was also what His Majesty and the Crown Prince wanted. So, they had made arrangements early on. If Arthas didn't stay, they would assassinate him midway. They had already arranged for him.
One is the level 95 Scorpion Tiger Douluo, and the other is the level 99 Peerless Douluo Long Xiaoyao.
With these two people taking action, they are absolutely sure to eliminate the potential threat of Alsace.
The plan was to abandon the assassination attempt if Arthas chose to stay.
And if Arthas chooses to leave, he will be killed together with Huo Yuhao, who possesses twin martial souls.
But the latter is not the result that His Majesty and the Crown Prince want to see most. If they can choose between the two, they would rather keep Alsace.
Compared to Arthas, Huo Yuhao, who has twin martial spirits, is second. Because he is too young, his value is not yet apparent. By the time he grows up, the wars between the empire and the three original empires will probably be over. In addition, the next Soul Master Competition is imminent, and His Majesty and Crown Prince Xu Tianran do not want to have too much conflict with Shrek Academy before then, which will affect the empire's next plan.
Losing Arthas who voluntarily stayed behind would at most annoy Shrek Academy, but assassinating Arthas and Huo Yuhao, two great geniuses, might make Shrek Academy really angry and retaliate. The current situation was not what His Majesty and the Crown Prince wanted to see.
As for the reason, Crown Prince Xu Tianran has already explained it to His Majesty and will send troops after the Soul Master Competition is over.
Before that, they planned to use the Soul Master Competition to restrain the soul master forces of the original three empires as much as possible and prevent them from participating in the war.
He also agreed that hostage-taking was a good method.
The only problem now is that he had promised Shrek Academy that he would be a hostage during the Soul Master Competition. His Majesty and the Crown Prince both felt that he had to fulfill his promise, which was a good opportunity to confuse Shrek Academy and they were sure that Shrek would not dare to do anything to him.
Nothing will happen to him, but he may have to be a hostage for a long time, so he is quite depressed.
He now only hopes that the prince's plan can be carried out smoothly enough, otherwise, he will be in big trouble.
While thinking, Meng Hongchen continued, "The reputation accumulated over ten thousand years has become a constraint for Shrek Academy."
"To put it bluntly, it's just about saving face." Xiao Hongchen said lightly.
Meng Hongchen frowned slightly and followed up, "The current senior management is indeed like that, but the younger generation is not. Especially those led by Minghui. If they are in charge of Shrek Academy in the future, the situation may completely change."
"By then, Shrek Academy will probably become even more difficult to deal with."
"Don't worry, they won't be able to wait until then." Jing Hongchen said calmly, "Okay, let's not talk about this. These are not what you need to consider now."
"When we get back to the academy, I'll introduce you to Arthas so you can get to know each other."
To be honest, he would be quite happy if Arthas could become his grandson-in-law.
"That's just right. I also want to test the results of my practice during this period." Xiao Hongchen said in his heart.
He really couldn't beat Minghui now, but he wanted to have a try with Arthas to see how strong he was. In addition, the Soul Master Competition was about to start in a year, so he had to find an opponent to continue to hone himself so that he could defeat Minghui in the competition.
The stream of light is like stars, disappearing into the blue sky.
That night, in a certain inn.
Yan Shaozhe listened to Fan Yu, He Caitou, and Huo Yuhao's detailed account of their experiences over the past year, and then took the soul guide ring that Arthas had given to Fan Yu from Fan Yu. After taking a look at it, his face suddenly turned dark.
There's nothing in there, it's empty.
"Minghui, this brat, is really a man who won't suffer any loss!" he said gritting his teeth.
Huo Yuhao guessed that there was nothing inside, so he chose to remain silent. He thought to himself that when he got back, he would let Senior Brother Minghui take a look at the soul guides he made at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy. He would sell those that could be sold to the academy, and then pay back the money he owed to Senior Brother Minghui.
Mingdetang is worthy of being Mingdetang. The soul guide technology it possesses is quite advanced, and he has learned a lot.
Moreover, he dared to guarantee that many of the soul guides he made were not even available at Shrek Academy and could definitely be sold at a high price.
But he felt that his senior brother, who ran a family business, had more say in the specific selling price!
A day later, everyone returned to the academy.
"Yuhao!" Wang Dong was waiting at the school gate early, and greeted him happily as soon as he saw him.
Huo Yuhao was also a little excited, but everyone was present, so he didn't dare to act rashly. During his time studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, his longing for Wang Dong grew day by day, even though he had never seen her true face. He had a feeling that he might really like her.
No matter what Wang Dong's true appearance is, he will not despise him nor will he care.
Minghui followed Wang Dong forward slowly, glanced at the two people who were looking affectionate but a little reserved, and smiled.
"Well done!" He looked at Huo Yuhao and said.
“It’s all thanks to my guidance, senior brother.” Huo Yuhao said modestly.
"It's getting late today, let's go back and rest first." Yan Shaozhe suddenly said, "We'll make a summary tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he glanced at Minghui, nodded to Fanyu, turned around and flew away. Minghui had taken so many advantages from the academy, and he felt that he had to take some advantage of it. The soul guide storage ring was worth some money, so he was not going to return it to Minghui.
Minghui smiled and watched him fly away.
The wool comes from the sheep, and he is not afraid that Yan Shaozhe will take advantage of it.
"Yuhao, the dormitory you lived in before has been reallocated because of the admission of many new students to the inner courtyard, as well as the exchange students from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy. It is now occupied by other students. Wang Dong, take Yuhao to choose a new room." Minghui said, turning to look at Wang Dong, "You can take him to your dormitory, so that we can practice together and practice martial soul fusion skills."
The students around him immediately cast ambiguous glances.
Wang Dong blushed, then she grabbed Huo Yuhao's arm and snorted, "Yuhao, ignore them!"
"I'll take you to the new dormitory." Huo Yuhao was naive and was dragged away by Wang Dong.
Minghui said no more, said hello to others, and turned to leave.
On the other side, at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy, Xiao Hongchen and his sister returned to their residence to rest. Shortly after returning home, Jing Hongchen received a letter from the emperor, asking him to bring his grandchildren and Arthas to the palace for a banquet.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, Huo Yuhao, who lived next door to Wang Dong, got up early in the morning.
Why is there an empty room next door? It was naturally reserved by Wang Dong. In fact, Wang Dong moved as soon as Xiao Hongchen and others left, and quickly occupied the two nearest rooms. Then he persuaded Xiao Xiao, Jiang Nannan and Xu Sanshi to move to this area, and also reserved a room for He Caitou, thus forming his own small gang.
As for Beibei and Tang Ya, they have been living in the same courtyard with Mu Lao for a long time. Tang Ya has been practicing very hard in the past two years and has passed the assessment and successfully entered the inner courtyard.
Soon, several people met in the restaurant.
"This guy called Arthas is really too much!" Many inner courtyard students expressed indignation after listening to several uninformed exchange students briefly describing their experiences in the past year. Wang Dong was also angry and said, "Such a traitor deserves to die!"
“Cough.” Huo Yuhao coughed lightly. As it involved planning from all parties, he had not yet told Wang Dong about Arthas’ identity.
"From Alsace's perspective, it's really hard to comment on this matter. All we can say is that everyone has their own aspirations."
"Okay, Wang Dong, this matter has nothing to do with us. We should just take care of ourselves."
During this period of time when he was studying abroad, without Wang Dong by his side, his soul power cultivation speed had indeed slowed down a lot, and now he had to catch up as soon as possible. Therefore, he decided to get Wang Dong to practice together recently.
Regarding this, he had already told Wang Dong his thoughts last night, and Wang Dong agreed.
"Wang Dong, now that Yu Hao is back, the next Soul Master Competition will be held next year." Ming Hui said, "I think it is necessary to help you accelerate the practice of your martial soul fusion skills through actual combat."
"Come on then." Wang Dong raised his chin slightly.
Huo Yuhao: "."
"Don't worry, I will be gentle." Minghui followed.
"Hmph, no need for that!" Wang Dong said confidently.
He Caitou looked up at her and continued to eat in silence. Huo Yuhao looked helpless and quickly changed the subject, "Brother, I made some soul guides during my time studying at Mingde Hall. I want you to help me take a look and sell some of them."
"Okay!" Minghui nodded.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Lexuan, Huo Yuhao, He Caitou and other exchange students rushed to Poseidon Pavilion to make a summary.
During this period, they had to demonstrate their own soul guides in front of Qian Duoduo and other senior executives.
When it was Huo Yuhao’s turn, Minghui instantly turned into a vendor and helped Huo Yuhao sell goods on the spot, leaving the other students stunned.
Yan Shaozhe was angry.
"You little brat, you are a specially approved member of the Sea God Pavilion after all. Do you have to be so realistic!?"
"Let's put things in perspective." Minghui said calmly, "Yuhao is still young and hasn't even had a romantic relationship yet. He will have plenty of money to spend in the future. As his senior, shouldn't I think more about him? Don't worry, I won't forget the credit of the academy for sending Yuhao to study."
"Well, I'll give you a 30% discount on the finished product and an 20% discount on the blueprints. What do you think?"
At this point, his face became serious, "Uncle Yan, the training is the training, but you must not forget that these students are also taking risks when they go to the Sun Moon Empire."
"It's a bit too much for the college to just take away the results they worked so hard to get."
"If this continues, where will the trainees get the motivation to carry out similar missions in the future?"
"You want the horse to run, but you don't want it to eat grass. This is like killing the chicken to get the eggs. It is absolutely not wise!"
"The academy wants to retain outstanding students. I think we should establish a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship. Otherwise, there will be cases like Alsace."
"The future is more than just talk!"
Brother Minghui and fellow students are so nice. The uninformed exchange students present were all moved.
“Ahem.” Qian Duoduo, who had seen this, continued, “Shaozhe, I think what Xiaohui said makes sense. We should provide appropriate compensation to ordinary students and establish cooperative relationships with outstanding students. This will also inspire the students’ passion for creation.”
Yan Shaozhe blushed.
"Okay, let's do as Xiaohui said." Moon En said calmly, "Duoduo, you should draft a regulation later. For those outstanding students who can create new soul guides or bring breakthrough improvements to old soul guides, the academy will give preferential treatment in the future."
"Yes, Mr. Mu." Qian Duoduo nodded.
Minghui then looked at the exchange students and said with a smile, "Work hard, and you will earn more if you create more in the future, and earn more if you innovate more!"
"Earn more money while you are young. Having money in your pocket will make everything go more smoothly in the future. Money is not everything these days, but not having money is also a big deal. Even dating and treating a girl to a meal costs money, not to mention buying property and raising children in the future."
Several exchange students nodded repeatedly. They knew that the housing prices in Shrek City were extremely high.
Seeing the students who seemed to be suddenly energized, Yan Shaozhe also smelled something and his mouth twitched suddenly.
"Swindler!" he cursed in his heart.
"It's really high!" Qian Duoduo seemed to have realized something and suddenly felt his horizons broadened.
Huo Yuhao also seemed to have realized something. This move of his senior brother really refreshed his three views, but he also felt that it made sense.
Soon, the money arrived, and Huo Yuhao happily put the gold card into the soul guide and followed his senior brother out of the Poseidon Pavilion.
"Xiaohui, thank you. If you need help in the future, feel free to come to me!" The students who followed said with gratitude.
This time, they really made a fortune.
Mingdetang's soul guide technology is really valuable. I should have studied it more seriously earlier.
"No big deal!" Minghui said with a smile.
After some more pleasantries, everyone went their separate ways and left.
Huo Yuhao, who stayed behind, transferred the debt to Minghui on the spot, and then said he would treat him to a meal. He is now a rich man and is very confident!
Minghui naturally had no reason to refuse, and was very satisfied with Huo Yuhao's growth. The money was paid back, but didn't the technology he learned have to be used by him? According to what he had said before, all the soul guides he made in the future would be sold in his store, and he would get a lot of dividends.
To make money, you have to do it steadily!
While thinking, on the other side, in the Poseidon Pavilion.
"Shaozhe, I feel like you could spend your whole life learning what Xiaohui did just now." Xuanzi said sarcastically.
"Also, it seems that Xiaohui used you just now, and you became the best person to play the bad guy in front of the students."
Thanks for helping me get shot!
When Yan Shaozhe heard this, he immediately reacted and his face turned dark.
"Fuck!" blurted out.
Moon remained silent, sighed inwardly, and then said with some tiredness, "Let's all go back."
