Wang Dong: I Want Compensation! (Please Bookmark)

"Let's do this!"

With Xia Liang and the others protecting him from behind, Huo Yuhao had nothing to fear. Golden light spread over his body as Gold Particle Mode activated!

"Hm? Yuhao?"

While flying, Wang Dong suddenly felt a warm, unique power surge from within his body. An unfamiliar yet strangely familiar soul power merged with his own. Looking down, he saw Huo Yuhao's entire body had turned gold.

"Hm? Wang Dong?"

Huo Yuhao also sensed that something was wrong. In his current mode, he had formed an inexplicable connection with Wang Dong, and their soul powers had completely merged together.

"Help me!"

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao did not think much further and immediately shouted at Wang Dong. Then, all his strength gathered in his eyes. Wang Dong had no idea how to help, so he could only pour all his soul power into Huo Yuhao's body.

The two powers within Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao intertwined. Once the fusion was complete, they flooded into Huo Yuhao's body in one surge.

Then, the pattern of a third eye appeared on Huo Yuhao's forehead.

"Freeze!"

Huo Yuhao shouted, and a beam of golden light shot out, striking Ma Xiaotao directly between the brows.

The next second, this arrogant Soul Emperor lost all her strength and fell onto the surface of the lake.

"Is it over?"

Huo Yuhao looked at the fallen monster, but before he could relax, he saw the red monster rise again!

By now, both of them were exhausted, and Wang Dong had already fallen into despair.

I never thought this great me would die here. Damn it.

Just as the red beam was about to touch them and vaporize them both, a trident-shaped mark appeared on Wang Dong's forehead, flickering continuously.

The next moment, an invisible force sent Ma Xiaotao, who was within the red beam, crashing into the lake.

"All right, all right. Knocking down a Soul Emperor means you've passed."

Xia Liang's voice came from behind them. Only then did Huo Yuhao relax, though hearing that he was still being graded made him want to laugh.

As a one-ring soul master, being able to knock down a Soul Emperor was already incredible, wasn't it?

"All right, rest now."

Dressed in a black robe, Xia Liang appeared beside Huo Yuhao. He waved at the empty air beside him, and Huo Yuhao felt an invisible surface appear beneath his feet.

"I finally... survived..."

Wang Dong lay on the ground. He had nearly died just now!

The mark on his forehead had already vanished, as though nothing had happened.

"Yes, you survived."

Xia Liang glanced at Wang Dong's brow and stroked his chin. If Huo Yuhao had truly been unable to act, then if this one had acted, Ma Xiaotao would have been truly doomed.

"Thank you for saving us, Senior."

Wang Dong spoke to Xia Liang.

Xia Liang merely waved a hand. "It was nothing."

Xia Liang curled a finger toward the lake. A massive sphere of water rose up, enclosing Ma Xiaotao, who had just been knocked into the lake. However, she had already lost consciousness.

"You only just arrived? Come out, or I'll kill her."

Xia Liang sensed several Soul Douluo and three Titled Douluo approaching.

"Please wait, Your Excellency."

The first to appear was Ma Xiaotao's teacher, Yan Shaozhe. Next came Director Du, along with Xian Lin'er, Qian Duoduo, and the others who had come to watch the show.

"So many people? Are you here to gang up on me?"

Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. As his palm closed, the water sphere began to shrink as well, and dozens of wounds appeared on Ma Xiaotao's body.

Seeing this, Yan Shaozhe immediately replied, "That is not our intention. Please show mercy, Senior."

"Then let's discuss compensation."

Xia Liang looked around at the people before saying calmly, "My juniors nearly died here. What do you think you should compensate us with?"

Then Xia Liang turned to Wang Dong.

"State your terms. Don't forget who you are."

Wang Dong blinked at those words, instantly recalling his identity. Good grief, he had been so scared that he had forgotten.

"Your father said that you shouldn't casually cause trouble outside. If we aren't in the right, it won't be easy to act."

Wang Dong remembered that those had been his second father's exact words.

But this time, he was the one in the right!

"Ten-thousand-year soul bones! One for each of us!"

Wang Dong did not hold back. Nonsense—he was the young sect master of the Haotian Sect. Asking for two ten-thousand-year soul bones without even specifying their attributes was already generous.

"Oh, and I want cultivation resources. Also, three top-tier cafeteria meals every day."

Wang Dong suddenly remembered that Huo Yuhao might also be out gaining experience.

When one went out to gain experience, one's elders generally would not give much money. One had to earn it oneself.

No wonder. Wang Dong looked at Huo Yuhao and finally understood. No wonder Huo Yuhao had been eating so plainly these past few days—he had run out of money.

Of course, Wang Dong had guessed wrong. The real reason Huo Yuhao had been eating light meals these past few days was that he had eaten so much meat every night that he was nearly sick of it. If he did not eat lighter dishes during the day, he would not be able to take it.

"Ten-thousand-year soul bones are too precious. Shrek Academy..."

Yan Shaozhe's lips twitched slightly, and the smile on his face became somewhat forced. He had originally wanted to bargain, but before he could finish finding a reason to drive down the price, Xia Liang frightened him in the next instant.

"If you can't even produce ten-thousand-year soul bones, then what is there to discuss?"

Seeing Xia Liang look as though he was about to deal with Ma Xiaotao in the next moment, Yan Shaozhe was so frightened that he truly did not dare say another word. Cold sweat instantly ran down his back. This was his treasured disciple, whom he had raised since childhood—dearer to him than a biological daughter.

"Wait, we have them, we have them!"

Yan Shaozhe immediately changed his tune. They were only two ten-thousand-year soul bones.

He could afford them!

"Fine. What else do you want?"

Xia Liang turned toward the two behind him. Wang Dong shook his head, while Huo Yuhao fell into thought.

"I want these soul tools."

Huo Yuhao immediately pulled out a list of soul tools that had greatly interested him over the past few days.

"They're all second-, third-, and fourth-class soul tools. Forget it."

Xia Liang looked at Yan Shaozhe before him, thought for a moment, then stated his revised terms.

"Two seventh-class defensive soul tools. Bring a few sixth- and fifth-class ones as well, with equal quantities and no fewer than seventeen in total. Then add these low-class soul tools as extras."

"All right, all right, all right." Yan Shaozhe still wore a smile, though it was somewhat stiff.

Soul bones, cultivation resources, and those cafeteria meals were all simple matters for Yan Shaozhe. The low-class soul tools below fifth class were not particularly difficult either. The Martial Soul Department did not have many other soul tools, but it still had some low-class soul tools in storage.

But those two seventh-class defensive soul tools and the sixth-class soul tools...

Yan Shaozhe's temple twitched. The Martial Soul Department did not have those! Throughout all of Shrek Academy, the good soul tools were held by the Soul Guidance Department. The Martial Soul Department and Soul Guidance Department often clashed, so where was he supposed to get so many high-class items on such short notice?

What Martial Soul Department would have that many high-class soul tools? Wasn't this outright robbery?

"Oh, right. You only have ten minutes. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether this one will drown."

Xia Liang had no time to beat around the bush with this miser.

Yan Shaozhe: "????"
