My Guidance Comes With a Fee

Then the spirit arena erupted in cheers like a landslide and tidal wave.

One move!

He had not even used Martial Soul Possession!

With one simple First Spirit Ability, he had instantly killed a Soul Elder of the same level!

"Holy shit, is he even human?"

In the spectator stands, someone could not help swearing.

"What the hell is that martial soul? Its power is way too tyrannical!"

In the VIP seats, Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a glance, both seeing the wild joy on each other's faces.

They had struck it rich!

Before Su Bai went onstage, Flender and Zhao Wuji had gone all in with every Gold Soul Coin they had. This round had made them an absolute killing.

After the Gambling Match ended, it was soon time for Su Bai and Ning Rongrong's two-on-two team match.

"Up next is a duel that everyone has been waiting for!"

The host clearly knew exactly how to stir up the atmosphere.

"On one side, we have the genius youth who just instantly defeated his opponent with thunderous momentum, Kirin Su Bai! And his beautiful partner, the twenty-sixth-level Support System Soul Grandmaster, Seven Treasures Rongrong!"

"And their opponents are the powerful duo who have already achieved nine consecutive victories—Gale and Downpour!"

With the introduction, Su Bai and Ning Rongrong stepped onto the spirit fighting platform.

Opposite them stood two cold-faced young men, both with Soul Power around level thirty-eight.

"Kid, that move of yours just now was pretty good, but two-on-two isn't a one-man game."

The spirit master named Gale let out a cold laugh.

Su Bai still ignored him.

He merely raised his right hand slowly. A mass of golden flame surged up, transforming into a majestic Kirin phantom that enveloped his entire body.

Yellow, purple, purple!

Three rings of light rose from beneath his feet. That dazzling purple radiance made the entire spirit arena fall silent.

"Th-the second spirit ring is a thousand-year one!"

Even the host's voice was trembling.

"Heavens! What am I seeing? This is absolutely the top-tier Spirit Ring Configuration on the Douluo Continent!"

The spectators went completely wild.

Just then, Ning Rongrong's clear voice rang out.

"Seven Treasures Manifest Glass."

Amid brilliant seven-colored light, an exquisite pagoda appeared in her palm.

"Seven Treasures Named, One is Strength, Two is Speed!"

Two beams of light landed precisely on Su Bai.

Su Bai only felt his whole body lighten, and the power within him surged again.

"Go!"

The Gale and Downpour duo opposite them also knew they could not wait any longer. The two attacked at the same time, closing in on Su Bai from left and right.

Su Bai stood where he was, not moving an inch.

Only when the two were about to reach him did he raise his foot again.

"First Spirit Ability, Kirin Steps to Heaven!"

A golden shockwave, several times more violent than before, erupted with a crash.

Boom!

Gale and Downpour did not even touch the corner of Su Bai's clothes before they were sent flying by that irresistible force, following in Iron Wall's footsteps and shooting straight out of the arena.

The entire spirit arena once again fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at the calm, composed youth on the stage as if they were looking at a monster.

Only after a long while did the host find his voice again and roar with all his might.

"The winners! Seven Treasures Kirin!"

"The enders of a ten-win streak! A new legend is born!"

In an inconspicuous shadowed corner of the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena.

Tang Hao withdrew his gaze from the spirit fighting platform, his towering figure completely hidden in the darkness.

A twelve-year-old Soul Elder.

A Kirin Spirit whose quality far surpassed Blue Silver Grass, and could even faintly suppress the Great Strength Vajra Bear.

And then there was that overwhelmingly domineering soul skill, one that could instantly kill an opponent of the same level with a single strike.

This young man named Su Bai was no longer a whetstone.

He was an insurmountable mountain, pressing heavily down on his son Tang San, crushing him until he could barely breathe.

If this continued, Little San's spirit would be worn away completely.

An icy killing intent flashed from Tang Hao's body and vanished.

He had to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Just then, he noticed that Oscar in the VIP seats and his son Tang San had both begun to show active Soul Power Fluctuations.

This was the sign that they were about to break through to rank thirty.

Tang Hao made his decision.

An "accidental" beast tide would be enough to make a genius disappear without a sound, leaving no trace behind.

Tang Hao was confident that his plan was flawless, but he did not know that the Kirin Spirit, as a beast of auspiciousness, was not only the emperor of Spirit Beasts, but also had an innate sense for any malice.

For him to try to create a beast tide to kill an auspicious beast was no different from a fool's dream.

Backstage at the spirit arena.

Flender was beaming as he counted a large bag of Gold Soul Coins he had just received.

"Su Bai, you really are the lucky star of our Shrek Academy!"

As he counted the money, he was completely unstinting with his praise.

"After today's fight, your name has truly become famous in the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena! In the future, just your appearance fees alone will be enough to feed our academy for a whole year!"

Zhao Wuji was also all smiles as he looked at Su Bai, finding him more and more pleasing the longer he looked.

Su Bai did not care about these Gold Soul Coins. He took Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others and was just about to leave.

Just then, his steps paused.

A faint chill rose from the depths of his heart.

It was very faint, almost impossible to detect, but it truly existed.

It was as if, from some distant place, a pair of eyes was watching him, filled with undisguised malice and Killing Intent.

Su Bai continued walking forward without betraying anything.

This feeling came from the instinct to seek fortune and avoid disaster that he had gained after fusing with the Imperial Auspicious Beast bloodline.

For someone to make him feel this way, the other party's strength definitely far surpassed his.

Titled Douluo.

This term immediately surfaced in Su Bai's mind.

And since arriving in this world, there was only one person he had truly offended to death who also had the strength to cause him trouble.

Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao.

It seemed that after Su Bai had taken his daughter-in-law and repeatedly made Tang San suffer humiliation, this overprotective Titled Douluo finally could not hold back from trying to kill him.

Su Bai sneered inwardly.

He had long anticipated this day.

With ordinary methods, he was absolutely no match for Tang Hao right now.

But he had his own trump cards too.

After they returned to the dormitory, Dai Mubai and Tang San went back to their rooms separately without saying a word.

The strength Su Bai had displayed in the spirit arena today had extinguished the last bit of resistance in their hearts.

What remained was only endless humiliation and unwillingness.

Su Bai brought the three girls back upstairs and sent away Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, who still wanted to cling to him.

He kept Zhu Zhuqing behind alone and closed the door.

"Zhuqing, you seem to have something on your mind?"

Su Bai looked at the cold-looking girl before him.

Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I want to become stronger."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and looked straight at Su Bai.

"Can you teach me?"

"Of course." Su Bai smiled.

He walked up to Zhu Zhuqing and reached out to hook a finger under her chin.

"However, my guidance comes at a price."

A blush rose across Zhu Zhuqing's cheeks, but she did not dodge away.

"What do you want?"

"I want you—to belong to me, utterly and completely."

Su Bai's teasing voice rang out.

Zhu Zhuqing's breathing grew a little quick. She looked at Su Bai's face, so close at hand, and finally slowly closed her eyes.
