Chapter 498: One Level Higher in Astonishing Wisdom

Xuan Zi was wishful thinking, but Bai Richi didn't appreciate it. She had been in Shrek Academy for several years, but Old Deng didn't let her go home. Even when her tribesmen came to see her, they treated it like a prison visit.

And with Lao Deng's "achievements" in front of him, who would dare to go out with him casually? Even if the phoenix can be reborn from the ashes, it can't withstand such torment!

So Bai Richi rejected Xuan Zi's proposal on the grounds that he still needed to practice for a period of time to stabilize his soul power, and said that this was the intention of the Phoenix God.

But Xuanzi still did not give up. Bai Richi's martial soul true body made him see the hope of Shrek Academy's rise. He did not even plan to go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone, but to organize a soul hunting team again, and let the teachers take the students who needed to advance their soul rings to go in a group.

He had good reasons. If he was going to do something, he had to do it big. After all, the Phoenix God would definitely not watch his successor get into trouble. He could also take this opportunity to announce to those beasts in Xingdou and the world that Shrek Academy would soon make a comeback.

This proposal caused strong opposition from Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo. Slaughtering soul beasts on a large scale, even attacking hundred thousand year soul beasts and fierce beasts, is this because they are afraid that the beast tide will not reach Soto City? If they do this, how can Shrek Academy have the face to condemn the Body Sect back then?

The two deans knew that they could not persuade Xuanzi, so they could only start with the teachers and students and explain the pros and cons to them. The young students might not understand the deans' intentions for a while, but the teachers had experienced the beast tide, and they would rather not be able to obtain spirit rings temporarily than be regarded as sinners by future generations!

Moreover, once the truth comes out, Shrek Academy will not be able to build a school outside Soto City, and even in the Tianhun Empire, no, even in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, there will be no place for them.

But Xuanzi has an ulterior motive, which is to cause a small-scale beast tide, preferably to lure out the eighth-ranked ferocious beast, the Red King, but he can't make too much of a fuss, so those teachers and students are the best bait.

According to his idea, the students could not only obtain advanced soul rings, but the noise made by the soul hunting team could also attract ferocious beasts. In the past, small-scale beast tides were commanded by the Red King. If everything went well, Bai Richi's eighth soul ring might very well reach an unprecedented 300,000 years.

That’s right, Xuan Zi is no longer satisfied with the 100,000-year soul ring. Since Bai Richi’s family gave her a 100,000-year soul ring as her seventh soul ring, her eighth soul ring should be stronger.

It just so happens that the three-headed red devil mastiff is also a ferocious beast with fire attribute, so it will be chosen as the eighth soul ring!

It's over! Shrek Academy is going to be destroyed by this old man! Qian Duoduo and Xian Lin'er looked desperate. They thought that after Bai Richi was promoted to Soul Saint, Xuanzi would give up this unrealistic idea. Unexpectedly, he became more and more crazy.

"Mr. Lin, please persuade Mr. Xuan!" Xian Lin'er really couldn't bear it anymore and could only ask for help from an old woman with white hair and a youthful face.

Mr. Lin’s real name is Lin Huiqun. Before Shrek City was destroyed, he served as the head of Jubao Pavilion and was in charge of the financial power of Shrek Academy.

Before Xuan Zi formed a group to seize the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, in order to ensure that Shrek Academy would not have a financial deficit in the short term, he sent her out to take inventory of Shrek Academy's industries across the mainland.

But what she never expected was that after she returned to Shrek Academy, more than a dozen of her colleagues were killed or injured. Until now, the number of members of the Sea God Pavilion with cultivation above Titled Douluo can be counted on one hand.

So Old Lin firmly opposed Xuanzi's decision. Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo had never seen her refute Xuanzi so fiercely.

"Then tell me! How do we deal with the children's spirit rings?" Xuan Zi put on an expression that said "I'm doing this for everyone's good."

“When did the academy have the obligation to hunt spirit rings for all students? Isn’t it a tradition of Shrek Academy since its establishment to let students solve their spirit ring needs by themselves? It’s fine for inner courtyard disciples, but customized spirit rings are a benefit that only the best freshmen can have!” Elder Lin said firmly, “It’s not that there are no other solutions to the spirit ring problem. Do you remember the information Fan Yu brought back after returning from the North?”

"You mean the soul? How dare you let the students use something made by those bastards in Dragon Pavilion?" Xuan Zi was furious. "Who knows what they are up to?"

"Master Xuan, this is wrong! They have not only researched out souls, but also made soul guides that can store souls, similar to the soul ring storage devices you have seen before." Qian Duoduo is now a level 97 defense super Douluo. Apart from Xuan Zi, he has the highest cultivation level in Shrek Academy, so he is confident in speaking now.

"Yes, Master Xuan, you hide in the academy every day drinking and eating meat, of course you don't know that souls have gradually flowed into the market!" Xianlin'er and her husband followed suit, "We have sent people to investigate the middle and high-end stores in the main cities of major empires in the past few months. Soul balls have become the main products. Even the lowest-level ten-year soul balls are priced between one hundred and seven hundred gold soul coins, and the average price of a hundred-year soul ball is ten thousand gold soul coins. Stores have limited supply, and soul masters even line up to make reservations months in advance."

Could it be that this old Deng still thought that Long Ge was deliberately trying to harm Shrek Academy? Is the current Shrek Academy worthy of it?

"Are they crazy?" Xuan Zi's eyes widened. "The lower-grade students in our academy can easily kill ten-year soul beasts and hundred-year soul beasts, but they actually want to spend money to buy them? A hundred-year soul beast costs 10,000 gold soul coins. Where did they get their money from the wind?"

“You can’t calculate it that way. You haven’t taken into account the price of the Soul Ball. The cost of the Soul Ball is included in ten thousand gold soul coins. After the soul master fuses the soul, he can take the Soul Ball to the store for recycling. In fact, it doesn’t cost that much money.” Qian Duoduo added.

“Thousand-year soul balls can still be bought in large stores, but ten-thousand-year soul balls only appear at auctions. Nowadays, students need almost all hundred-year or thousand-year soul rings, so let them buy them on their own.” Elder Lin stared at Xuan Zi with a cold face. “I do have a batch of soul balls in my hands, which were brought back by the Chamber of Commerce sent by the academy to various countries. If the martial soul department and the soul guidance department can work together to crack the production method of this soul, even without the Phoenix God, there is no need to worry about Shrek Academy not being able to make a comeback. But you, old thief, killed so many of our companions. If they were still here, they might be able to study the production method of souls!”

"Hmph!" Hearing Elder Lin's accusation, Xuan Zi was embarrassed. "The way of a soul master is to hone oneself. Hunting soul beasts is not only about obtaining soul rings, but also a process of tempering one's will. How far can the students go with the power they bought, without the baptism of blood and fire? Letting students hunt soul beasts on their own has been a tradition since the founding of Shrek Academy. They even have to buy soul rings with money. Do they deserve to be called monsters?"

"Do you want to hear what you are saying?!" Old Lin was furious. The Jubao Pavilion under her jurisdiction had a service called soul ring customization, and many students paid to buy it.
