"What! They blew up the Great Soul Arena ?"

Shen He looked at Director Ao , the Great Soul Arena's person in charge, who was following Tang San and Great Master Yu with an unfriendly expression. After Director Ao's explanation, Shen He learned about the trouble these two had caused at the Great Soul Arena .

"It's not easy to come back alive!"

Shen He sighed that the explosion hadn't killed these two guys, and then looked at Director Ao , the Great Soul Arena person in charge, who had come back with them.

"So, you're here to ask for compensation?"

His subordinates caused trouble and brought people over; it looked like they were asking for compensation.

"The explosion at the Soul Arena clearly shows that the construction quality of your Soul Arena is not up to par. How can you ask the Soul Masters who fought there for compensation?"

"If other Soul Masters find out that they have to pay for damage to the arena during Soul Battles , wouldn't that be bad for your side?"

Director Ao understood that the Great Soul Arena's actions were indeed a bit unreasonable, but the losses this time were too great, and they couldn't just let it go.

"Naturally, there is no need for compensation. I'm not here for that."

"Oh? Then what is Director Ao here for?"

Hearing Director Ao's denial, Shen He became interested and couldn't wait to know what earth-shattering things Tang San and Great Master Yu had done again.

"I'm here to ask for compensation for the mental and health damages caused to the audience by these two during the Soul Battle , as well as the casualties caused by the explosion and the costs incurred for their treatment."

As he spoke, Director Ao silently added the losses such as venue fees to the treatment costs in his heart.

"A total of one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins . May I ask how you, as the dean, will pay?"

"I was wondering why these two came back without any injuries. It turns out your side treated them in advance."

Hearing Shen He admit to the treatment, Director Ao's worried heart gradually calmed down. After all, if Shen He said that these two were not from Shrek Academy and that Shrek Academy would not be responsible for their personal behavior, he would have no way to deal with it.

Expecting Great Master Yu and Tang San , two poor Soul Elders , to pay compensation? They probably wouldn't have enough even if they sold themselves!

"One hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins is indeed just a number to me. You two remember, this has to be paid back! And this time, I'm paying it in advance because Tang San is a member of Shrek Academy ! As for the interest rate, let's calculate it at a rate of thirteen for every nine borrowed, rounding it up to one hundred and fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins ."

Great Master Yu and Tang San breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Shen He was willing to pay in advance, but they were filled with reluctance when they heard the high interest rate. However, in order to avoid continuing to embarrass themselves, they could only grit their teeth and accept it. After all, they couldn't find anyone else to help them pay the money right now.

As Shen He handed a stored-value card worth one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins to Director Ao , the matter was finally settled. Shen He ultimately paid the compensation for the trouble caused by Great Master Yu and Tang San , and the two of them owed Shen He a large sum of money as a result. It could be said that they were back to square one.

The penniless duo now had to repay Shen He's money and cover their own living expenses. The two hundred Gold Soul Coins issued by the Martial Soul Hall each month was completely insufficient.

Even if they didn't eat or drink, it would take 750 months, more than seventy years, to repay the money. They probably wouldn't be able to finish paying it off even when they died. More importantly, the Martial Soul Hall's subsidy was only issued to Soul Elders . Once they broke through to Soul Ancestor and obtained a Soul Ring , they wouldn't receive a single penny. After all, the Martial Soul Hall's subsidy was intended to encourage low-level Soul Masters and increase their motivation to cultivate.

Who knew that there would be a waste like Great Master Yu who hadn't broken through to Soul Ancestor for decades? Now, these two actually hoped that they would help them repay some money each month.

Back at the pigsty, Tang San glanced at the place where he and Great Master Yu lived, and the dissatisfaction in his heart towards Shen He reached its peak.

One of them was a genius Soul Master with excellent talent, and the other was the number one theoretical master in the Soul Master world. They were both prominent figures in Douluo Continent .

But now, they actually had to sleep in a pigsty?

Was there any justice? Was there any law?

"This can't go on, Master."

In Tang San's heart, Shen He , who took advantage of their misfortune, undoubtedly deserved to die, but considering that he couldn't beat Shen He now, and for the sake of his image, he could only postpone his revenge on Shen He for the time being and began to think about repaying the money. No matter what, Shen He lent them money when they couldn't find anyone else to help.

"Little San , we're completely out of food money this month. I'm afraid we really can only eat pig dung!"

Great Master Yu glanced sadly at the pigs in the pigsty who ate and slept with them and said to Tang San .

As a waste, he could only hope that his disciple had a solution.

After hearing Great Master Yu's words, Tang San decisively made his choice.

"Master, why don't we make some Hidden Weapons to sell?"

I've been waiting for you to say that!

Hearing Tang San's words, Great Master Yu's eyes lit up. Although Tang San had never said where his Hidden Weapon manufacturing skills came from, Great Master Yu knew the power of those Hidden Weapons .

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow made by Tang San was more than enough to deal with opponents below the Soul Ancestor level, and it could directly kill Soul Elders . Hidden Arrow could achieve absolute lethality against Soul Masters below level 30. Soul Masters above level 30 without poison resistance were also easily caught. Moreover, the cost of these Hidden Weapons was not high. If they were sold, they could sell for at least a thousand or eight hundred Gold Soul Coins . If they sold a few hundred pieces, repaying the money would be more than enough, and even their food expenses would be covered.

"Isn't that not good? Isn't that Little San's idea? Wouldn't it be a loss to sell it like this?"

Although he wanted to agree, Great Master Yu pretended to hesitate for the sake of his image as an elder.

"It's okay, Master. I'm just selling the Hidden Weapons I made. As long as I add a self-destruct device, no one can copy them!"

Although the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons were not his original creations, he did not think that anyone in Douluo Continent could crack the wisdom of the Tang Sect over thousands of years.

Great Master Yu naturally supported Tang San's idea. Tang San took the initiative to propose it, and he didn't understand these things very well. If he really wanted to help, it would only be in price negotiations. Wasn't this just purely relying on his disciple to repay the money?

Could relying on his disciple be called taking advantage of his age? That's called the disciple taking the initiative to share the burden for the teacher!

Great Master Yu was extremely grateful for his decisiveness and ease in tricking Tang San into becoming his disciple.

Seemingly thinking of the joy of spending a lot of Gold Soul Coins in the future, Great Master Yu immediately made a decision.

Let's go! We'll make Hidden Weapons and sell them to repay the money!

So the two immediately left the pigsty and went to the blacksmith shop to buy, no, to trick, bah, to get the raw materials for making Hidden Weapons on credit using Great Master Yu's superb rhetoric.
