Tang San: Xiao Wu, Don't Go!

"I've got it!"

Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice, "I once read in a book that there are many miraculous immortal herbs between heaven and earth. If two specific herbs are consumed together, they can grant a Soul Master a body as indestructible as diamond, accelerate their development, and provide remarkable boosts to both soul power and mental strength."

"One is the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and the other is the Hundred-Refined Golden Body Fruit. However, I only know the names of these two medicinal materials; I have no idea where they can be obtained."

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang looked at Lin Fan with eyes full of hope.

Lin Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart. Isn't the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum one of the immortal herbs inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?

Although he had never heard of the Hundred-Refined Golden Body Fruit, it was normal for there to be many immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well that weren't described in the original work.

In an instant, Lin Fan made up his mind: once he finished the business here, he would head straight back to find Dugu Bo!

Nodding slightly, Lin Fan said calmly, "To thank the two of you, if your disciples purchase Martial Souls from me or have their Martial Souls evolved, it will only cost 150,000 Gold Soul Coins!"

"..."

As these words fell, Qin Ming couldn't help but frown slightly. Was the price really that high?

Little did they know, for others, it only cost around 50,000 to 100,000 Gold Soul Coins!

The discount Lin Fan mentioned was a discount on top of a discount!

"150,000 Gold Soul Coins? That expensive?"

"Um... could it be any cheaper?"

Flender and Yu Xiaogang were both penniless; hearing this price, they couldn't help but hesitate, and even their voices lacked confidence.

"It is impossible for it to be any cheaper."

Lin Fan smiled, "However, I can allow credit. But for every month of arrears, you must pay an additional 10,000 Gold Soul Coins in interest! Or, you can do a task for me to offset the interest."

"Credit is allowed?"

Hearing this, Flender immediately showed an excited expression. With their strength, making money wasn't really a problem, and besides, Yu Xiaogang could always rely on others for support.

Whether it was Liu Erlong or Bibi Dong, both would be willing to pay this money for him!

"Easy, easy! Then, when can you evolve the Martial Souls for my students?"

Flender immediately shouted out.

"As long as you have the time, I am available whenever."

Lin Fan's expression was calm. As for the fact that he had previously disciplined Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the others?

The strong do not care about the weak.

If Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the others dared to cause trouble later, Lin Fan wouldn't even need to act; Flender and Yu Xiaogang would discipline them themselves.

"Right now, Little San and the others are at the Soul Fighting Arena. Let's go after they finish their match against the Heaven Dou Royal Academy students."

Flender still cared quite a bit about Ma Hongjun, so he immediately beckoned Lin Fan to head toward the Soul Fighting Arena.

The plot had long since been altered. Because Dugu Yan had reached the level of a Soul Ancestor, there was almost no possibility of Tang San and the others winning, so Qin Ming had already communicated with Flender and Yu Xiaogang in advance.

Therefore, the two teams had collided directly.

Lin Fan didn't care about any of that; he only thought about making money quickly and... acquiring more Martial Souls!

Even if he didn't need to absorb soul rings for his Martial Souls right now, the more Martial Souls he had, the greater the boost to his physique, soul power, and even mental strength.

Once his cultivation realm improved, he could have all his Martial Souls absorb 100,000-year soul rings. Perhaps then, Lin Fan could go and challenge Di Tian, or even the Silver Dragon King herself!

Within the Shrek Seven Devils, several people had decent Martial Souls. After evolving them, he might even be able to acquire those Martial Souls for himself.

For example, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda or the Clear Sky Hammer.

They weren't of much use, but with more base improvements, Lin Fan could absorb stronger soul rings at a lower realm!

While pondering, Lin Fan and Gu Chen followed the lead of the three men and arrived at the Soul Fighting Arena.

Coming to the Soul Fighting Arena for the first time, the clamor reached his ears, causing Lin Fan to raise an eyebrow slightly.

It was a timely arrival. As soon as Lin Fan and his group entered, they saw the teams of Dugu Yan and Tang San stepping onto the stage.

Scanning the scene, Lin Fan couldn't help but be startled. Why was Ning Rongrong missing from the Shrek Seven Devils?

Of course, Lin Fan didn't care about that. No matter who the Shrek Seven Devils were, they wouldn't be his match; he was merely lamenting that the plot had indeed been affected.

Without Ning Rongrong, and with Dugu Yan's Martial Soul having been evolved by Lin Fan, her strength had become particularly terrifying. Not to mention her horrific poison control and crowd control abilities, her physical body alone was extremely powerful, no less than Yu Tianheng's.

As a result, even though Tang San used hidden weapons and fought with all his might, he was ultimately defeated by Dugu Yan.

"Too strong!"

Qin Ming couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher, that girl previously only had a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul. It was only after Director Lin took action to evolve her Martial Soul that it became the Jade Jade Dragon of today, and her strength progressed by leaps and bounds!"

"Is this true?"

Hearing this, Flender and Yu Xiaogang immediately showed expressions of joy, not even caring that Tang San and the others had lost.

After all, losing to Dugu Yan, who possessed a formidable Martial Soul and high soul power cultivation, was nothing to be ashamed of.

"As expected of an outstanding member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy; we at Shrek are still somewhat inferior."

"However, I believe that if those children could also receive the help of young friend Lin Fan, they could be just as outstanding."

"Let's go, it's time to meet those little ones."

As the Spirit Fight concluded and both sides withdrew, Qin Ming, Flender, and the others gathered everyone together.

"It's you?!"

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun exclaimed the moment they saw Lin Fan, their eyes flashing with a hint of resentment.

After all, the last time they had faced Lin Fan, he had controlled a Spirit Beast to defeat them.

Only Xiao Wu looked at Lin Fan with an incredibly strange expression; she knew that the time for her to make a decision had arrived.

"What is this? Do you know each other?"

Yu Xiaogang was quite adept at reading the room. He had initially assumed Tang San and the others were well-acquainted with Lin Fan, but upon closer inspection of their expressions, his heart sank.

It didn't look like they were friends; it looked like they were enemies!

"Know him? That's an understatement!"

Tang San said coldly, "This guy humiliated our Shrek Academy. Teacher, I..."

Before Tang San could finish his sentence, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he interrupted him directly: "Silence! How can you address Director Lin Fan like that?"

"He is the Director of the Spirit Beast Research Department at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He possesses the ability to evolve one's Martial Soul and even change it. Hurry up and apologize to Director Lin!"

"Huh?"

As the words fell, Tang San stood frozen in place. He stared at Yu Xiaogang, unable to believe that the man who had always treated him so well would reprimand him for the sake of an outsider.

Flender, wanting to ensure Ma Hongjun would no longer be affected by his evil fire, also said in a deep voice, "That's right. Don't let Director Lin Fan's young age fool you; he is a true genius! Why haven't you apologized yet?"

"I..."

Since both the Dean and his teacher had spoken, no matter how displeased Tang San and Ma Hongjun were, they had no choice but to suppress their emotions, apologize to Lin Fan, and offer a respectful bow.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others had no prior conflict with Lin Fan, so they had remained silent until now. Hearing this, they couldn't help but look shocked.

They couldn't believe that someone who looked even younger than them had actually become a director at a top-tier Soul Master Academy!

"It seems your disciples aren't very interested in increasing their strength."

Lin Fan had no intention of letting them off just because they apologized; he wanted to secure more benefits and leverage. He said calmly, "Since that is the case, I shall take my leave. Xiao Wu, I believe it is time for you to make your decision. Come with me!"

With those words, Lin Fan turned and walked away, while Dugu Yan shot a fierce glare at Tang San and the others before hurrying to follow him.

The gazes of Tang San and his companions fell upon Xiao Wu. When they saw her actually walking toward Lin Fan, they were stunned into silence.

Tang San, in particular, couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you? Why are you listening to him?"

At that moment, an ominous premonition suddenly surfaced in his heart.

If Xiao Wu left now, she would never come back!
