Ma Xiunuo's Expectations for Zhou Qing

——

After tidying up the books on this bookshelf, Zhou Qing tidied up the remaining five bookshelves and found that there were still several books in "The Origin of Martial Souls". It was a series of six books, but the third book seemed to be missing.

But Zhou Qing didn't pay any attention.

It was now noon.

"We'll do another major reorganization tomorrow, putting books of the same type together on each shelf. That will complete the reorganization."

Zhou Qing stretched and came to the stairwell, where he saw Ma Xiunuo coming down from the third floor.

"Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, shall we go for lunch?"

"Um."

Ma Xiunuo pushed up his reading glasses and invited Zhou Qing, "Want to come together?"

"No, I need to go to the Blacksmith Shop to find Tang San, then go to the Nuoding Academy cafeteria with Xiao Wu and Romantina for lunch, then with Wang Sheng and the others, and finally go to the Nuoding Guild to take on missions and earn money." Zhou Qing declined Ma Xiunuo's offer.

Most of the courses at the Nuoding Academy are held in the morning and afternoon, and students have complete freedom to arrange their own time. However, work-study students must first complete the tasks assigned to them by the college teachers.

Zhou Qing and Tang San were formal students, but they were already very familiar with the relevant knowledge that Mo Hen taught in class, so they had more free time.

However, Zhou Qing and Tang San would lead Wang Sheng and other work-study students, commoner students, and Noble Student who were willing to join them in morning runs and Broadcast Gymnastics every morning.

At noon, the members of his small group would gather together to have lunch in the Nuoding Academy cafeteria.

This was also Zhou Qing's request.

Although all the members of their small group had become Soul Master, he believed that they couldn't keep focusing on their own things, or they would gradually drift away from Wang Sheng and the others.

The main reason is that Zhou Qing realized the problem early on: the sense of accomplishment brought by extraordinary power can gradually make people lose themselves and forget where they came from.

Zhou Qing didn't want to forget this, nor did he want Tang San to forget it in the future.

so--

He once asked Tang San to awaken him when he forgot his origins.

That's ridiculous!

He, a modern-day Transmigrator, actually asked a Transmigrator from a martial arts world to remind him sometime in the future.

But Zhou Qing understood very well that, coming from a modern society where material and information resources were abundant, he was actually weaker than Tang San in terms of willpower.

At least, once Tang San decides to do something, his attitude is extremely decisive, even resolute.

The Great God King Tang of Douluo V committed suicide to search for Xiao Wu's reincarnation... It has to be said that this is outrageous, but his attitude can indeed be described as "firm".

And what about Zhou Qing?

He felt he was currently only researching aspects related to Martial Soul, possessing a "steadfast" quality...

In order not to forget where he came from, Zhou Qing could only start from a young age, that is, not to stray too far from Wang Sheng and the others.

Moreover, he felt that the current situation was not bad. At least he did not look down on Wang Sheng and the others because his strength far surpassed theirs. In fact, he had learned a lot from Wang Sheng and the others.

As for him, Tang San, Romantina, and Xiao Wu taking on a mission from the Nuoding Guild after lunch, their main purpose wasn't to make money, but rather to improve their teamwork.

"Tang San, Xiao Wu, are those two Martial Soul the children of Blue Silver Grass and Soft Bone Rabbit?"

Ma Xiunuo still has a deep impression of children with Innate Full Soul Power, not to mention that these two performed exceptionally well in the Friendly Tournament.

"Yes." Zhou Qing nodded.

"How wonderful to have such good friends!" Ma Xiunuo seemed to recall the past Qing Cong, and his smile became even more kind. "Although your Martial Soul are a bit lacking, you have the advantage of being quick-witted. Even without relying on your Martial Soul, you can still have strong combat power."

Blue Silver Grass, Soft Bone Rabbit, and a heart.

In Ma Xiunuo's eyes, it was indeed not a powerful Martial Soul. Although their Innate Full Soul Power meant they had the potential to become Titled Douluo, the future was uncertain, especially for those of commoner origin, it was even more difficult to guarantee that they could grow to that level.

However, Zhou Qing, Tang San, and Xiao Wu's performance in the Friendly Tournament truly moved Ma Xiunuo!

One with unpredictable movements.

One with a strong physique.

Another one has extremely strong combat talent. Once they adapt to combat, they can control the rhythm of the battle and even unleash powerful attacks.

Not to mention, this little guy with extremely strong combat talent is also polite, easy-going, and tries his best to learn about everything related to Martial Soul, Soul Master, and Soul Beast, constantly enriching himself.

Ma Xiunuo was already able to foresee Zhou Qing and his companions becoming Soul Grandmaster.

As for Romantina... Ma Xiunuo doesn't know what words to use to describe her, he just hopes that she can catch up with the progress of Zhou Qing and others in the future.

"Grandpa Ma Xiunuo, I'll be going now."

After going down to the second floor with Ma Xiunuo, Zhou Qing waved goodbye, placed the Library access pass hanging around his neck in front of Su Yuntao's counter, and ran out of the Nuoding Spirit Hall Branch.

Be careful on the road!

Ma Xiunuo also waved with a smile.

"Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, you are as energetic as ever," Su Yuntao said.

"I'm getting old. I even need a child to help me go downstairs." Ma Xiunuo shook his head, then looked at Su Yuntao, who was in relatively good spirits. He didn't Sisi's condition, but just joked, "You've become much more mature lately. I'll feel at ease handing over this Spirit Hall Branch to you in the future."

"Grandmaster Ma Xiunuo, I... I don't really want to be the next Hall Master." Su Yuntao hesitated for a moment before finally speaking his mind.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Xiunuo's heart skipped a beat, suspecting that Su Yuntao's personality had become more depressed rather than more composed after learning about Sisi's accident.

This won't do!

Su Yuntao is the next Hall Master he favors the most. Not only has he accumulated enough experience, but he also has good cultivation talent. If he can break through to the Soul Elder realm before the age of thirty, he can take up the position of Hall Master of the Nuoding Spirit Hall Branch ahead of time. In the future, when his cultivation reaches the Soul Ancestor stage, he may even be able to go to the Spirit Hall Sub-hall.

"Speaking of which, it's all Zhou Qing's fault... She actually told me that Alice likes me, and I've discovered that she might actually actually have feelings for me..."

"This is a good thing."

After learning that Su Yuntao also had feelings for Alice, Ma Xiunuo felt that Su Yuntao's choice this time was good.

Alice, the receptionist at the Nuoding Guild, Kindness and generous, and will surely become a virtuous wife and daughter in the future.

However, Ma Xiunuo also understood why Su Yuntao didn't want to inherit the position of Hall Master—

Anyone who controls the Soul Coin Machine must have a moral character far superior to that of ordinary people.

Therefore, such individuals must obtain the joint approval of both the Heaven Dou (Star Luo Empire) and the Spirit Hall in order to assume their posts. They cannot be close to either faction or its members.

That's the official rule, but Ma Xiunuo knows that many powerful figures in those big cities have close ties with those who control the Soul Coin Machine.

On the contrary, those who manage the Soul Coin Machine in industries such as money shops and Adventurer's Guild in small cities like Nuoding City are the most diligent.

Therefore, Su Yuntao not only did not want to become the next Hall Master, but even had the idea of leaving the Spirit Hall!
