Suotuo City, shabby Shrek Academy.
The early morning sun shines through the branches and leaves of the crooked neck tree in the yard, casting a mottled light and shadow on the ground.
Tang San walked out of the room, moved his shoulders, and felt that Soul Power all over his body was so full that it felt like it was overflowing.
He is at level 30. In the past few days, he has enjoyed the Shrek Academy resources. Medicinal bath is the best. He also secretly added extra meals to his food. His overall condition is extremely good.
"San, you have reached level 30, it's time to hunt Soul Ring."
"I have already agreed with Flender that I will take you to Star Dou Great Forest in two days."
Tang San thought about what Yu Xiaogang said last night, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Xiao Wu has also reached level 30, just in time."
He turned his head and looked at the next room. Xiao Wu just opened the door and came out with a scorpion tail and a smile on his face.
"Third Brother, morning."
Tang San nodded.
"Morning."
The two of them walked towards the dining hall together and met Oscar on the way.
Oscar held a sausage in his hand and was chewing it. There were two big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had not slept well.
"Good morning, Tang San, Xiao Wu."
Oscar said hello, his voice weak.
Tang San glanced at him.
"Didn't you sleep well?"
Oscar smiled bitterly.
"Well..."
He sighed and did not continue.
The three of them walked into the dining hall. Dai Mubai was already there, sitting in the corner with a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns in front of him. He was eating bite after bite, moving very slowly, as if he was worried.
Ma Hongjun sat next to him, his chubby body squeezed on the bench. There was an empty bowl in front of him. The porridge in it had been finished long ago, but he didn't go to eat anymore. He just looked longingly at the direction where Flender was eating.
Flender was standing behind the dining table, holding a large spoon in his hand and ladling porridge into a bowl.
Seeing Tang San and others coming in, he raised his head and grinned.
"Are you all here? Sit down."
Tang San and others found a seat to sit down. Flender came over with a tray and placed it on the table.
Ma Hongjun was the first to finish eating, put down his bowl, licked his lips, and glanced at Flender.
"Dean, today's porridge seems to be thinner than yesterday."
Flender glared at him.
"It's good if you have something to eat. Stop talking nonsense."
Ma Hongjun shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything anymore. Not long after, everyone had finished their breakfast.
Flender put down the bowl in his hand, stood up, and glanced at the five people present.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Oscar, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun.
Five people, all present.
Flender coughed lightly and cleared his throat.
"Today, I have something important to tell you."
Tang San's brows moved slightly.
Important things?
He looked at Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu looked at him, with some confusion in their eyes.
"Is it... to celebrate that Xiao Wu and I broke through level 30?"
Tang San was thinking in his heart, but he felt something was not right.
But...
Tang San's eyes fell on Yu Xiaogang standing at the door of the dining hall.
Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands in front of his chest and leaned his back against the door frame. The expression on his face was a little unnatural, as if he was avoiding something.
"It should be the arrangement arranged by the teacher to announce that Xiao Wu and I have broken through to level 30. According to our age, Xiao Wu and I should be the youngest Soul Master here who are at level 30, right?"
Tang San couldn't help but puff up his chest when he thought of this. Yu Xiaogang is his teacher. If anything good happens, he will naturally think of himself.
Ma Hongjun was the first to speak, his round face full of curiosity.
"Dean, what's important?"
Flender glanced at him, and then spoke slowly.
"Tuition."
Ma Hongjun was stunned for a moment.
"Tuition?"
Flender nodded.
"Yes, tuition."
"Everyone, one hundred Gold Soul Coin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dining hall was quiet for a moment. Tang San's pupils shrank suddenly and he was stunned.
One hundred Gold Soul Coin?
He turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaogang at the door.
Yu Xiaogang turned his head slightly, avoiding Tang San's gaze, with a trace of embarrassment on his face.
Tang San's heart suddenly sank. Yu Xiaogang obviously knew about this, but couldn't stop it?
Ma Hongjun was the first to react. The fat on his face was squeezed together, and his expression looked like he had eaten bitter melon.
"Dean, one hundred Gold Soul Coin? Isn't this too much?"
Flender shook his head and said.
"You have been here for so long. What you eat, drink, and use is not from the college?"
"The college can't make a loss-making business, right?"
Ma Hongjun continued to speak and wanted to say something.
"Dean, we did use medicated bath, but the effect of that medicated bath..."
Flender looked at him with a strong tone.
"No matter how effective it is, the materials used in the medicated bath are all purchased with real money."
"The school has been extremely kind to you, provided you with so many resources, and extended the tuition fee exemption for such a long time."
"Is it reasonable for you to make up for it now?"
No one spoke, but Ma Hongjun soon spoke again.
"Dean, can it be a little less?"
"I spent so much Gold Soul Coin on Evil Fire, but I really can't afford so much..."
Flender glared at him.
"Handling Evil Fire is your own business, not the college's."
"The tuition fee is so much, not a penny less."
Ma Hongjun is anxious.
"But, Dean, I really don't have it..."
Flender's eyes fell on Ma Hongjun.
"You have been here for so long, and Gold Soul Coin has always been this number."
"The college has been very tolerant of you."
"Think about it for yourselves, have you worked hard? Have you worked hard to Great Soul Arena and earn Gold Soul Coin?"
"Soul Fighting, the college will not accept the gold coins you won. If we can't pay Gold Soul Coin, it's because you didn't work hard enough."
Ma Hongjun lowered his head and stopped talking.
Tang San sat there, the expression on his face unchanged. One hundred Gold Soul Coin was not a small amount for him, but Yu Xiaogang said that he would use all resources on himself.
Then all the money you spend will come back to you sooner or later. Thinking of this, Tang San felt calmer again.
Flender clapped his hands.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
"Now, everyone goes to Teacher Li to pay."
"After handing it in, I'm going to take you to Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beast. It just so happens that San and Xiao Wu have exceeded level 30."
Dai Mubai was the first to stand up, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, walked to Teacher Li at the door, counted one hundred Gold Soul Coin, and put it into the box on the table.
"Dai Mubai, one hundred, cleared."
Dai Mubai nodded, walked to the side and stood against the wall.
"Oscar, one hundred, cleared."
Ma Hongjun walked over slowly and took out more than sixty Gold Soul Coin after spending a long time.
He scratched his head, turned around, and looked at Dai Mubai and Oscar with a pleading look on his face.
"Boss Dai...Xiao Ao... Can you lend me some?"
"I really can't get it together..."
Seeing Ma Hongjun's pitiful look, the two of them still had the friendship of classmates, so they paid in advance for the time being. Then Tang San and Xiao Wu also paid their tuition fees. Tang San couldn't help but sigh that fortunately he earned a lot from blacksmithing.
Ma Hongjun stood aside, grimacing and mumbling.
"It's great now, I'm completely poor..."
Flender looked at everyone who had paid the money and nodded with satisfaction, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, the tuition fee is settled."
"Now, everyone go back and prepare. We will gather in half an hour. I will take you to Star Dou Great Forest. The next battle with Soul Beast is also what you need to learn. Teacher Zhao and Grandmaster and I will take care of you. You all obey the command of Grandmaster."
