Liu Erlong's Sacrifice

"To you, this was indeed a defeat. Little Monster is five years younger than even the youngest among you, and he has one fewer Soul Ring!"

Qin Ming stared at his disciples.

Yu Tianheng and Osler lowered their heads in shame.

"Your Martial Souls are all top-tier. You cultivated smoothly to your current levels and have never encountered setbacks.

"More importantly, you lack the obsession to frantically increase your Soul Power and the obsession with victory. Little Monster has both, so you lost.

"Next, I'll arrange a series of training sessions for you. I hope you can grow quickly from this defeat!"

Qin Ming spoke some encouraging words.

Tie Xiong looked smugly at them from the side.

Since he had come to strike a blow against them for Senior Qin Ming, he naturally had to do his duty and provoke them.

"Teacher, can Tie Xiong interact with us more often? Cultivating alongside a genius like him will definitely help us improve quickly!"

Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes shimmered as she smiled.

"Little Monster has been cultivating at Blue Tyrant Academy recently. It's right within Heaven Dou City, so you can interact whenever you wish!"

Qin Ming naturally hoped both sides would improve together.

Dugu Yan looked thoughtful. She had become somewhat interested in Tie Xiong.

Tie Xiong had actually defeated Yu Tianheng, making her very curious about how he usually cultivated.

Given Dugu Yan's personality, if she was curious, she had to find out more.

"Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Yu Tianheng was greatly surprised.

Naturally, Yu Tianheng knew about Blue Tyrant Academy.

Its dean, Liu Erlong, was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter. By seniority, she was his aunt.

As the most gifted heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, how could he not know?

He had not expected Tie Xiong to be cultivating at Blue Tyrant Academy.

"Once you obtain your Second Soul Ring, we brothers will fight you!"

Shi Mo of the Black Tortoise Turtle, who had barely spoken until now, suddenly said.

"Welcome anytime!"

Tie Xiong smiled happily.

"Little Monster, your big sister will come find you!"

Dugu Yan winked and said with a giggle.

Tie Xiong was naturally more than willing. Even if she did not come, he would have gone looking for her.

"You should all return and cultivate. Tianheng, Osler, recover as quickly as possible!"

Qin Ming said as he looked at his many disciples.

"Yes!"

Tie Xiong waved to them. "We'll fight again next time!"

"We'll fight again next time!" Yu Tianheng said deeply.

Osler, Shi Mo, Shi Mo, and Yu Feng all had flames burning in their eyes as they stared at Tie Xiong.

Behind her black veil, Ye Lingling had a pair of exceptionally beautiful eyes. Her long lashes curved slightly upward, and they seemed able to speak whenever they opened and closed.

She gave Tie Xiong a deep look. This Little Monster was too formidable.

Tie Xiong smiled. He did not speak much with Dugu Yan.

Right now, he had no bargaining chips at all.

At the very least, he had to wait until obtaining his Second Soul Ring before planning for the Immortal Herbs.

Dugu Yan currently had a good impression of him. That was a good start.

At the foot of the mountain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

As Qin Ming watched Tie Xiong and Lu Qibin depart,

a fat man suddenly appeared beside him.

"Kid Qin, your junior isn't simple!"

This man was not tall, but he was extraordinarily fat. His facial features were nearly flattened together.

"Senior, my junior is only nine years old. He doesn't deserve such praise from you!" Qin Ming said with a smile.

This fat man's identity was far from ordinary. He was already over seventy years old.

He was Bai Baoshan, one of the academy's three Education Committee members. His Martial Soul was the Heaven Star Furnace, and he was an eighty-second-rank defense-type Weapon Martial Soul Master.

"Don't play dumb with me. I'm also a Weapon Martial Soul Master. His First Soul Ring's amplification skill boosts him by at least three times. That yellow ring tinged with purple is absolutely not from some ordinary four-hundred-year Soul Beast!"

Even when Bai Baoshan widened his eyes, his fat face only revealed a slight opening.

Qin Ming immediately gave a bitter smile. He had not expected Bai Baoshan's eyes to be so sharp.

During his conversation with Lu Qibin and Tie Xiong last night, he had already learned that Tie Xiong's First Soul Ring had come from an over-eight-hundred-year Blood Demon Berserk Bear.

"I never intended to hide it from you, Senior. My junior's First Soul Ring came from an eight-hundred-year Blood Demon Berserk Bear. He'll soon reach rank twenty, and his Second Soul Ring will definitely be over a thousand years. When that happens, all of Heaven Dou City will be shocked!"

Qin Ming spoke with a trace of pride.

Bai Baoshan froze. He had only been guessing about Tie Xiong's circumstances.

Now that Qin Ming had confirmed it, he was instead stunned.

"Can we poach this kid? How can that whatever Shrek Academy of yours help him grow better than we can?"

Bai Baoshan was utterly blunt.

"This..."

Qin Ming was helpless.

Little Monster was Dean Flender's treasure.

"Forget it. We'll discuss this later. I can't make things difficult for you, kid!"

A sharp glint appeared in Bai Baoshan's narrowed eyes. Clearly, he had not said those words casually.

After Tie Xiong returned to Blue Tyrant Academy, he discovered that Liu Erlong was waiting for him.

"Little Monster, come with me!"

Tie Xiong's expression changed. Could she be thinking of beating me up again?

He had just gotten beaten up when he broke through to rank nineteen.

"What are you thinking? It's a good thing!"

How could Liu Erlong not know what Tie Xiong was thinking?

Tie Xiong chuckled and hurriedly followed her.

The two arrived deep within the forest, beside a small lake. The lake was only fifty meters in diameter, but it connected to a small stream, keeping its water constantly flowing.

There was a wooden hut, surrounded by all sorts of flowers blooming in competition, brilliantly colorful and beautiful.

This was where Liu Erlong normally lived.

Liu Erlong walked to the lakeside and stopped.

With a flip of her hands, a golden crystal appeared in them. It was translucent in color, like crystal itself.

"This is the Whale Rubber you wanted. Does it really have the use you described?"

Liu Erlong's face was slightly flushed.

She silently cursed the little bastard.

She would never forget the strange look in the shopkeeper's eyes when she bought this piece of Whale Rubber.

The shopkeeper had worn an expression that said everyone understood.

It had left Liu Erlong unable to explain herself.

"It's definitely useful, Sister. How many years is this?"

Tie Xiong abruptly grabbed the piece of Whale Dragon Rubber, crying out in delight.

"According to the shopkeeper, this Whale Dragon Rubber is of extremely high quality. It came from a whale-type sea Soul Beast at least five thousand years old. As for the Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber you mentioned, even the Heaven Dou Auction House doesn't have any!"

Liu Erlong shook her head.

For this little bastard, she had paid a great deal.

When she asked about Ten-Thousand Year Whale Dragon Rubber at the auction house, even the people there had been stunned.

Weren't a few hundred-year-old pieces enough?

Ten-Thousand Year Whale Rubber came from ten-thousand-year sea Soul Beasts. With Douluo Continent's poor seafaring technology, it was very difficult to obtain.

Most importantly, this stuff was used to boost virility and stimulate lust. Thousand-year or hundred-year pieces were enough.

Who would collect ten-thousand-year ones?

Tie Xiong became thoughtful.

He could slowly collect it in the future.

"Sister, use your fire-attribute Soul Power to soften it!"

Tie Xiong looked eagerly at Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong took the Whale Rubber and said, "I've never heard that Whale Dragon Rubber can improve a Soul Master's physical constitution. Are you sure you want to eat it?"

Tie Xiong said happily, "I'm sure, Sister. Once I warm up, I'll start taking it!"
