Golden Dragon's Crushing Defeat at the Silver Dragon's Hands, the Death God's Disciple Slowly Approaches

Li Luo took the invoice, bid farewell to Su Xiaotao, and then, carrying the Beauty Badge, left the Spirit Pagoda and returned to Red Mountain Academy.

He went straight to the principal's office.

"Oh, Little Luo, you're back so soon. The Spirit Pagoda just contacted me to confirm. I didn't expect you to return this quickly."

"Are you satisfied with the soul spirit you selected this time?"

"Rest assured, since the academy promised to gift you a century-level soul spirit, we will certainly honor it."

Li Luo thanked him sincerely, "Thank you, Principal."

"It's nothing. If you achieve success in the future, please don't forget the academy," Principal Gao exhorted.

Li Luo patted his chest and said, "Principal, I am a person of Red Mountain in life, and I shall be a ghost of Red Mountain in death."

"Hey, that's a bit much," Principal Gao waved his hand, though it was clear that Li Luo's attitude made him feel satisfied from head to toe.

He said domineeringly, "Bring me the bill; Red Mountain will cover it for you."

Li Luo respectfully handed over the bill.

Principal Gao took it.

He took one look.

He suspected his eyes were playing tricks on him.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven."

"Seven zeros."

"Two ones."

"Eleven million Federation Coins."

"Thump!"

Principal Gao's blood pressure spiked, and he felt dizzy, collapsing onto the floor.

"Ah?!" Li Luo shouted, "Principal, what's wrong?"

"Don't scare me!"

"Quick! Call a soul-guided ambulance, the principal has fainted!" Li Luo yelled toward the office door.

The principal's health was truly poor.

He prayed devoutly.

He hoped the principal would stay healthy.

And live a long life.

Just as Li Luo was about to start reciting eulogies, Principal Gao slowly regained consciousness, his gaze lingering gloomily on Li Luo.

Li Luo immediately asked with concern, "Principal, are you alright?"

"You are the backbone of Red Mountain."

"You are the sky of Red Mountain."

"You absolutely cannot have anything happen to you!"

Principal Gao felt another surge of blood rush to his brain and nearly fainted again; his chest ached just from hearing Li Luo's words.

He didn't know why.

Perhaps he was just getting old.

Li Luo helped Principal Gao up, "Principal, do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No need."

Principal Gao refused. Forget the hospital; from now on, he wouldn't even be able to afford an extra block of tofu, let alone a hospital visit.

He asked tremblingly, "Did it really cost eleven million Federation Coins?"

"It really did." Li Luo held up the receipt in his hand.

Principal Gao felt another wave of dizziness, "Li... Little Luo, take... take it further away."

To Principal Gao, that bill felt like a death warrant.

"Alrighty then," Li Luo agreed.

Principal Gao felt slightly better. He had been the one to promise, with absolute certainty, that as long as it was a century-level soul spirit, the academy would reimburse it.

He had just carefully examined the receipt issued by the Spirit Pagoda.

The item purchased was a century-level soul spirit and the Beauty Badge.

Li Luo hadn't lied to him.

The Spirit Pagoda hadn't lied to him either.

It was just that he hadn't considered that a century-level soul spirit could actually cost eleven million Federation Coins—more expensive than some thousand-year-level soul spirits.

Principal Gao screamed angrily in his heart, "Damn you, Spirit Pagoda, you might as well have just robbed me."

"Yet, in the end, you came here to do business."

"Why did you have to come and scam me?"

Life is full of regrets, like water flowing endlessly to the east.

The fruit one plants oneself.

One must eat oneself.

Principal Gao felt helpless in his heart, For a very long time to come, I won't be able to study foreign languages properly.

I can only go work to pay off the debt and fill the hole in the academy's accounts.

Li Luo left the principal's office. Before departing, he still felt that the principal's health was not very good.

He asked the principal again if he needed an ambulance.

Principal Gao told him to get lost.

Don't be an eyesore in front of him.

Sigh, Li Luo felt that Principal Gao no longer liked him, his star student.

Perhaps it was because the principal had been worried about Red Mountain's enrollment lately.

He was anxious that Red Mountain Academy's prospective students would be snatched away by other academies.

Red Mountain Academy couldn't recruit anyone.

Li Luo muttered to himself, "I love Red Mountain, Red Mountain loves me; Red Mountain has already provided me with a century-old soul spirit."

"I must do something for it, too."

"If Red Mountain Academy lacks students, then I shall recruit some for it myself."

Li Luo backhanded his Soul Guidance Communicator, opened his local social circle, took a photo of himself, And added the caption: [Dear sisters, I am Li Luo. I am waiting for you at Red Mountain Academy. Be there or be square.]

He also reposted the Immortal promotional video he had filmed earlier.

The local social circle was best at creating trends, and since Li Luo was a verified user, the platform instantly realized that traffic was surging again.

As time passed, the information Li Luo released was shockingly pushed to the number one trending spot in Aolai City.

In East Sea City, Mu Xi of the Mu family, the leader of the Mu Luo Support Group, was instantly thrilled.

She shouted to the fans in the Mu Luo Support Group:

"The real Li Luo has appeared!"

Then, Mu Xi reposted the image and text Li Luo had published.

Under the collective efforts of the beauties, the somewhat dormant Immortal promotional video became red-hot once again.

On the Xie Family Island in the East Sea, Xie Xie expressed his dissatisfaction.

Forget it, he didn't have much of a role to play right now anyway.

Xie Xie expressed his strong disapproval of this...

In an abandoned factory in the East Sea, a middle-aged man was giving a lesson.

There was only one student sitting below the podium.

But the middle-aged man taught with great seriousness.

"One part sulfur, two parts carbon hydride, plus soul power with explosive attributes—that is a perfect art."

"As the saying goes, master soul guidance physics and chemistry, and you can travel the world without fear."

"Disciple, have you memorized it?"

"Teacher, I have."

Ba Jiushi was very gratified. His student, Wu Liuqi, was quite talented and had already learned thirty or forty percent of his explosive art.

"Good, then that concludes today's lesson," Ba Jiushi continued, "Next, let us pray together."

He pressed his palms together, "May the Holy Spirit be with us."

Wu Liuqi followed suit.

After the prayer, Wu Liuqi spoke up, "Teacher, haven't we not joined the Holy Spirit Cult yet?"

"Soon. Once we pull off this job, the great Dark Phoenix will surely take us under her wing."

"Oh, Teacher, are you talking about the Immortal?"

"That's right, it's him. A genius who went from level three soul power to level ten in three months. He is worthy of our art."

"Teacher, will there be any danger?"

"No matter. Aolai is a small city with no real experts. With my nine-ring strength, I can walk sideways through it."

"Alright." Wu Liuqi nodded. He still had some questions in his heart, such as why they had to join the Dark Phoenix, but he didn't ask further...

In an unknown location, Di Tian, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, and Bi Ji sat in a circle.

They were still studying what Gu Yue had said about Aolai Speed Arrival.

As for Lord Bear, he was secretly playing with a Soul Guidance Communicator.

Di Tian spoke first, "We have been studying this for a whole day. Let's all share our thoughts: what does the Lord mean by Aolai Speed Arrival?"
