The Dean's Invitation

Wang Feng sat in his dormitory, carefully flipping through a book. He was about to obtain his third Soul Ring, and he was unusually nervous.

This is actually normal. After all, the first two Soul Rings were somewhat accidental, and the First Soul Ring was absorbed on his own initiative due to his strong will, which was somewhat risky.

However, there was no record of Third Soul Ring exceeding ten thousand years in any books, and it was impossible to find any information about it. He could only comfort himself by using the same verification method.

However, he would not give up on the matter he had previously mentioned to Yue Guan, which was his plan to absorb a Five Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

To become stronger, one must always take some risks, and he has that much courage; otherwise, how could he survive under the watchful eyes of those Titled Douluo?

Bang bang bang!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the dormitory door, interrupting Wang Feng's thoughts.

"Who are you looking for?" Wang Feng asked, clearly annoyed.

"Is this Wang Feng? I'm Lin Xiqin."

"Teacher?" Wang Feng frowned slightly. He hadn't attended classes for over a year, so why was the teacher looking for him now?

However, he still put down his book to open the door; after all, he was a teacher, and the proper respect should be shown.

"Teacher Lin? Is there something important that you suddenly called me for?" Wang Feng asked, looking at the middle-aged man standing at the door.

"It's nothing major, just about you acquiring your Third Soul Ring," Lin Xiqin said with a smile.

"Teacher, please come in!" Wang Feng stepped aside and invited Lin Xiqin into the dormitory.

Lin Xiqin glanced around the dormitory, nodded slightly, then turned to Wang Feng and smiled, "Wang Feng! I've always thought you were something special, but I never imagined you'd be this outstanding. To possess Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring at level twenty—that's something many of us wouldn't even dare to dream of!"

Wang Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Teacher, you flatter me. I was just lucky. By the way, you said you came to see me about my Third Soul Ring. What exactly is it about?"

"Oh, is that so? The dean heard that you've reached level 30. They also need to go out to hunt Soul Beast for Tang San and the others to obtain Soul Ring, so they asked me to ask you if you'd like to go with them. That way, you'll have someone to look after you on the way, and they can also help you."

"Help me?" Wang Feng looked at Lin Xiqin with a strange expression, somewhat puzzled.

Why is Yu Xiaogang suddenly being so kind? He used to see me as a thorn in his side and wanted to fire me. Why is he suddenly helping me? It doesn't make sense!

Is he planning to harm himself?

Wang Feng shook his head with a smile. Of course not, Yu Xiaogang wasn't that stupid.

"Teacher, why did the dean suddenly decide to invite me? Did he not say anything else?"

Lin Xiqin patted Wang Feng on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Wang Feng, I know you and the Dean don't get along, but I can also see that the Dean is a very capable person with great ambitions. I believe that under his leadership, the Holy Academy will definitely achieve glory. And you are the most talented student in the Holy Academy. Naturally, the academy will give you a lot of support."

Wang Feng looked at Lin Xiqin and wanted to laugh. To cultivate him with great effort? If that were the case, wouldn't it be better to just give him the three Soul Bone directly?

Wang Feng initially wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it and suddenly smiled and agreed. "Teacher, please tell the dean to let me know when they leave, and I'll go with them."

"Okay, okay." Lin Xiqin replied happily, "Wang Feng, this time you mustn't have any conflict with the Dean. When it comes to Soul Ring, the Dean's abilities are absolutely outstanding."

"Don't worry, teacher. Actually, I don't have any conflict with the dean. The dean is, after all, an elder of our Spirit Hall. He's just been encouraging me to grow in a different way." Wang Feng said with a grin, as if it were the truth.

Lin Xiqin didn't understand their relationship, he just smiled and nodded, chatted for a few more minutes, and then left.

After seeing Lin Xiqin off, Wang Feng's expression shifted between frowning and smiling, looking somewhat strange.

Soon after Batuer and You Wulong returned, and the two brought Wang Feng another message.

Rumors are circulating in the inner courtyard that Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, is pursuing Qian Renxue relentlessly, which has already caused a huge uproar in the Holy Academy.

Wang Feng listened to the two talking but didn't pay any attention. Qian Renxue really wouldn't look down on someone like Xue Qinghe.

"Boss, why aren't you worried at all?" Batuer asked Wang Feng with a distressed expression.

"Why should I be in a hurry? If he wants to pursue her, then let him pursue her. I can't just stop him!"

"Okay!" Batuer opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Alright, don't worry about it." Wang Feng waved his hand and continued flipping through the book in his hands.

He knew that Xue Qinghe's pursuit of Qian Renxue definitely not driven by her beauty; he had a purpose.

However, he also knew that Qian Renxue would not have any entanglement with Xue Qinghe. Qian Renxue's mind was focused on strength and would not easily change because of other things.

Three days later, Tang San suddenly came to find Wang Feng.

It had only been a few months, but Tang San's demeanor had changed drastically in Wang Feng's eyes. The arrogance that once filled Tang San's eyes, that domineering air of a powerful figure looking down upon all living beings, was gone.

Wang Feng looked at Tang San with a smile and teased, "Hey, Tang San, what a rare guest!"

Tang San frowned slightly, stared at Wang Feng for a while, and then said, "Let's go! It's time to hit the road."

"On the way, you're going to send me on my way!" Wang Feng shouted strangely.

"Go hunt down Soul Beast and obtain your Third Soul Ring!" Tang San said coldly, knowing full well that Wang Feng was doing this on purpose, but he still couldn't help feeling a little angry.

It's probably because of Yu Xiaogang!

After all, he was his teacher, and he valued Yu Xiaogang highly, but Wang Feng often provoked Yu Xiaogang.

"Going so soon? Are you accompanied by Titled Douluo?" Wang Feng's smile faded, and he looked at Tang San, asking with a bored expression.

"No."

"Let's go then!"

Wang Feng didn't say anything more and went straight out the door.

Tang San followed behind Wang Feng, his eyes fixed on Wang Feng, his brows constantly furrowed.

Dai Mubai and his group were already waiting in the distance, accompanied by Flender and Liu Erlong, who were also there to see the strength of the Golden Iron Triangle.

As for his Third Soul Ring, Wang Feng had no hope of getting it from them.

Although Wang Feng didn't believe that the three of them working together couldn't defeat Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, his target this time was a fifty-thousand-year-old one, and his Third Martial Soul might be exposed if things went wrong.

That's why he brought this up with Yue Guan before, hoping Yue Guan would report it to their teacher, as he believed the teacher would be secretly following them.

Enemies meeting are bound to be extremely hostile, and although they weren't enemies, they were already close to the point of being hostile towards each other.

Yu Xiaogang completely ignored Wang Feng, but Liu Erlong and Flender sized Wang Feng up.

The group then set off without taking anyone else with them.
