Then, the words "debt collection" that Lin Hai had mentioned earlier came to her mind, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of their first encounter, as well as the smooth and distinct muscle contours of his face...

At this thought, her cheeks flushed slightly, revealing an undeniable blush.

"Young Lin, Rong Rong said you went to take care of some business. Do you have any other important matters to attend to in Heaven Dou City?" Flender asked with a smile, unusually rising from his seat.

"It's nothing major, just buying a property as an investment." Lin Hai didn't intend to explain further, and instead looked at Liu Erlong, his tone relaxed. "Long time no see, Er Long Erlong!"

' Er Long Erlong? He used to call me Dean Liu... but why does calling me that feel more intimate to me?'

A hint of confusion crossed Liu Erlong's mind. She was not good at interpersonal communication, and since her mother's death, the only person who could probably make her smile in daily interactions was Yu Xiaogang.

But Lin Hai was clearly an exception. From their first meeting, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him. Six years later, this feeling of familiarity hadn't faded; on the contrary, it had become even stronger.

And at this moment, she vaguely sensed that Lin Hai seemed to have undergone some indescribable changes compared to six years ago.

He appeared more composed, and while some of his youthful naiveté had faded, he gained an irresistible charm—something that comes with age, and this is understandable.

But beneath that carefree and unrestrained demeanor, she could detect a faint hint of ruthlessness.

This aura gave her the feeling of simultaneously facing Yu Xiaogang and Flender—

It felt like a resonance from the depths of one 'Martial Soul, yet it was different from the intense and direct feeling of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

She sighed softly, her tone tinged with emotion. "It really has been a long time, six years in the blink of an eye! I've been waiting for you to come and 'collect your debt' from me!"

Flender listened to the seemingly cryptic conversation between the two, completely bewildered. Although he had heard from Liu Erlong about how the two met, she had deliberately omitted the part about "paying back debts."

"Wait Er Long, what do you owe Lin Hai? Tell me, and I'll pay it for you!" Flender interjected, his tone unusually generous.

Liu Erlong glanced at Flender with a half-smile, the meaning in his eyes was all too clear: This miser actually has a day when he's willing to pluck feathers.

She was fully aware of Flender's feelings for her, but she simply couldn't reciprocate them.

To give an example: even if Flender were the only man left in the world, she would rather live out her days alone and wait for humanity to become extinct!

"Dean, you really can't do this for me." Lin Hai chuckled, then skillfully changed the subject. "By the way, did you see Rong Rong? Is she at the academy now?"

Just kidding, of course Liu Erlong has to come and "return" those clothes himself. What use would he have for Flender's "chicken feathers"?!

As soon as Ning Rongrong was mentioned, Flender's attention was indeed diverted:

"Speaking of Rong Rong, how did you do it? In less than a month, you raised her Soul Power from level 26 to level 44! Not only did she absorb a super-limited Soul Ring, but she also broke the level limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul?"

"After she came to the academy to see us, she hurriedly returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She must be eager to tell Sect Master Ning about the Martial Soul Evolution!"

He tacitly avoided mentioning Zhu Zhuqing, clearly unwilling to get involved in such emotional entanglements. Even Dai Mubai, the person directly involved, had chosen to acquiesce, so why should he interfere? In the end, it would all remain unresolved.

The only thing that made him a little uneasy was Lin Hai's attitude. This kid seemed to maintain a distant and aloof attitude towards them, which was completely different from any student Shrek Academy had ever recruited before.

Flender secretly speculated that this might be related to the power behind Lin Hai, and planned to find an opportunity to probe indirectly.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just happen to have a treasure. This thing absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and condenses the radiance of the Sun Moon... Hmm?" Lin Hai had only spoken half a sentence when he suddenly and keenly sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation.

—Tsk tsk, this Spatial Means isn't very sophisticated! Since Rong Rong has returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, those who have arrived now must be Ning Fengzhi and that "scapegoat."

At this moment, two figures stood quietly on the roof of the Shrek Academy's teaching building.

One of them, dressed in luxurious clothes and with a refined and elegant demeanor, was none other than Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The other was a tall, thin, and withered old man— Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"Feng Zhi, what do you think is the origin of that Elixir Pill? And what is this kid's background?" Gu Rong asked in a low voice.

Ning Fengzhi remained calm and composed. "Uncle Bone, the people are not far away, and they just happened to be talking about this matter. We might as well listen in before we speak."

"As for his background... as long as he is not from the Spirit Hall, no matter who is behind him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must be on good terms with him."

Lin Hai, seemingly oblivious to everything, continued his eloquent conversation in the courtyard:

"I used this treasure to refine two Elixir Pill. Oh, Er Long Erlong probably hasn't heard of Elixir Pill yet..."

Next, Lin Hai explained the origin and effects of the Elixir Pill to Liu Erlong and the two "listeners" on the rooftop in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"These two Elixir Pill are most suitable for Support Spirit Master, as they can break the shackles of their Martial Soul. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is one of the most suitable Martial Soul among them."

In fact, the Elixir Pill he gave Ning Rongrong was made with the Aromatic Silk Beauty as the main ingredient, making it especially suitable for treasure-type Martial Soul.

He deliberately emphasized "suitable for support-type Martial Soul" and pointed out "breaking the shackles of Martial Soul," clearly speaking specifically to Ning Fengzhi. He wanted to tell the other party—

I have another one, and not only can you use it, but the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul can also use it.

This move was intended to increase his bargaining power. By adopting this "I don't know he knows" stance, he could gain more initiative in subsequent negotiations!

Sure enough, the Gu Rong on the roof suddenly narrowed its eyes upon hearing this:

"Feng Zhi, he actually has one more! We must get this one too. If you can take this pill, you will definitely be able to break through to the Soul Douluo realm. At that time, the overall strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will reach a new level!!"

This may sound exaggerated, but upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.

Ning Fengzhi can advance to the Soul Douluo, not only will his total Soul Power increase significantly and his continuous support ability be enhanced, but the support effect will also be improved accordingly.

At that time, his and Sword Douluo Chen Xin's combat strength will naturally increase accordingly...

In addition, you can obtain a new Soul Skill. Although the effect of the Soul Skill is unknown, the anticipation of this "blind box" experience is itself extremely valuable!
