"In short, I hope... when the time comes, if Tang Hao comes looking for trouble at our academy, I hope you can help us. If you need payment, I, the dean of Nuoding Academy, am willing to scrape together the money for you."
The dean of Nuoding Academy could be considered a dean who took responsibility for his academy. Even knowing that a Soul Saint-level powerhouse would come looking for trouble, he was still willing to stand his ground at the academy rather than run away. He was far better than Yu Xiaogang.
One only had to look at how irresponsible Yu Xiaogang had been, and how much like a scumbag he had acted, when he ran from Bibi Dong's love and then Liu Erlong's love. All he ever chose was escape.
Basically, the women and his brothers bore the problems for him while he simply ran away on his own.
"Don't worry. Until we graduate from this junior academy, we won't leave. We'll help you protect the academy. However, Tang San and the others may indeed leave."
Leng Yulai spoke.
"That's indeed the case. We've already cut off one of Tang Hao's hands and one of his feet here at Nuoding Academy, so he's now a severely wounded, crippled Soul Saint. His strength isn't even on par with an ordinary Soul Saint's."
"He probably won't dare act recklessly now. If he dares come, we'll dare cripple him. Then we'll take his four Soul Bones. How about we give you one when the time comes? I can tell you, the reason I, Tang Hao, was able to become a Titled Douluo so quickly had to do with slaughtering Soul Beasts on a massive scale."
"You should know that Soul Beasts are growing scarcer, and there are fewer and fewer suitable Soul Beasts for Soul Masters to obtain. The reason Tang Hao possesses six Soul Bones is that he frequently carried out massacres in many Soul Beast habitats. The drop rate for Soul Bones is very low to begin with, so that was how suitable Soul Bones dropped, and how he advanced to Titled Douluo in such a short time."
"And that's how he ended up with six Soul Bones. You should know that the Clear Sky Sect only has two inherited Soul Bones. Those two are on him, so where did his remaining four come from? Isn't it obvious that he seized them by slaughtering Soul Beasts?"
(Although I don't know whether this is correct, this is what people online speculate. After all, people online have speculated about where Tang Hao got six Soul Bones. The Clear Sky Sect doesn't have that many inherited Soul Bones, so the speculation is that Tang Hao acquired them through slaughter.
Moreover, according to speculation in many novels, Spirit Hall has many Titled Douluo, but the issue is that some Titled Douluo, such as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, are clearly level 95.
The two of them don't even have more than three Soul Bones combined, so why could Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect, obtain six Soul Bones? Two are inherited Soul Bones from his sect, but where did the other four come from?
That's why everyone speculates that Tang Hao obtained six Soul Bones by slaughtering Soul Beasts.)
What Kai said was also purely speculation.
"Although there's no evidence, that's very likely what happened. Otherwise, there's no explaining it."
"If that's the case, then this Clear Sky Douluo has gone too far, hasn't he? Soul Beasts are already growing scarcer. In that case, how many Soul Masters will be unable to obtain Soul Rings because they can't hunt Soul Beasts? How are Soul Masters supposed to cultivate then? And he calls himself Clear Sky Douluo? That's going too far."
The dean of Nuoding Academy said this. He could also see that Soul Beasts counted as a very important resource for human cultivation. If Soul Beasts disappeared, how would humans absorb Soul Rings?
"In short, we'll help you watch over this place for the time being."
"Thank you very much."
Afterward, they returned to their room.
Tang Hao had not returned yet.
"That Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit may also have heard Tang San's inner voice. Should we make some preparations? If that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit really does side with Tang San, then we can't let Tang San have her. We might as well kill her."
"Or we could keep her for now and have her sacrifice herself when you need a Soul Ring, Master."
"That's indeed a good idea, but I've already set my sights on the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python."
"If it's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, give it to Gu Luoyi. That way, the youngest member of our team will have some life-saving skills," Kai said, teasing Gu Luoyi a little.
"Thank you," Gu Luoyi said shyly.
"Master, how about making Gu Luoyi your wife in the future? Although you keep Gu Luoyi by your side and raise her like a little sister, a little sister can become a child bride too. Her Innate Soul Power isn't bad, and she's so talented. She should qualify to be your child bride." Leng Yulai smiled and voiced her opinion. After all, she had been the first to meet this little girl. She did think rather highly of the girl and felt she should be a suitable match for Kai.
"Stop talking about it." Gu Luoyi was getting a little shy.
"Let's talk about this once we've grown up and become adults. It's not very appropriate right now."
Kai said this because he felt that he currently had a child's body, and for Gu Luoyi to start dating now as well would be too early and not very good. It would be better to wait until their bodies had grown more, when they were old enough to date, before pursuing romance.
"In short, we'll discuss this later. Right now, we need to make sure Tang Hao doesn't make a move against that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit, and that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit doesn't get any ideas about running away."
"Still, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit really leaves me speechless. After all, her own mother was killed by people from Spirit Hall. She took human form and came to the human world intending to seek revenge, only to unexpectedly become engrossed in the dazzling human world. And after coming to the human world, she never attended classes and studied properly. All she did was play the big sister boss, and she even enjoyed how well Tang San treated her."
Kai said this because, in this timeline, although Tang San and Xiao Wu had yet to show any love for each other, or rather, they had not displayed it, their relationship was indeed much like it had been in the original story. This Soft Bone Rabbit enjoyed how well Tang San treated her.
Moreover, she had clearly come for revenge, yet she did not properly study all the knowledge of the human world to make herself stronger. And the result? All she did was play the big sister boss. Anyone with a daughter like that would be so angry they could hardly go on living.
The previous Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor had truly given birth to a fine daughter.
(But speaking of which, I'm very curious about something. Soft Bone Rabbits are inherently among the Soul Beasts that are extremely prolific breeders. In particular, many Soul Beasts have low intelligence at the ten-year and hundred-year stages, and male Soft Bone Rabbits are even known as the whoremongers of the rabbit world.
Male Soft Bone Rabbits basically take no responsibility for their own children. It's the female Soft Bone Rabbits that care for the young.)
