Douluo: Martial Soul Research Diary

Chapter 104 Unreasonable trouble
"I just don't know if Teacher Shi Nian is still well."

Cang Hua revealed his claws.

"It might not be good; I've sustained some injuries."

Manager Ning reported the truth.

Cang Hua breathed a sigh of relief: "If you can return Shi Nian to me, Cang Hui Academy will definitely offer up the 30,000-year-old spiritual bone as promised."

They took out a skull that emitted a seven-colored light, and a misty aura flowed around the soul bone.

"Head Soul Bone!"

Nothing touches people's hearts more than a physical presentation.

Most of the audience members focused their attention on the soul bone, and many soul masters gave it malicious looks.

Master Yu Xiaogang also felt a hint of envy.

Manager Ning hesitated.
She turned her gaze to Ning Fengzhi, unsure of what to do.

At this moment, the life and death of Shi Nian are not important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Self-interest outweighs hatred; this is the rule that governs this world.

Logically, the sect should have agreed to Cang Hua's request, which led them into his trap.

But no one knew,
Shi Nian himself possessed a skull, which was over 30,000 years old and of higher quality than the one Cang Hua had provided.

Exchanging a hidden soul bone for a visible one, and with the quality even decreasing, isn't that a huge loss?
“Okay,” Manager Ning said.

Lured by the promise of profit, Ning Fengzhi took the bait.

Without a God's-eye view, and based on his own narrow understanding, making such a choice was not surprising to Han Tao.

Cang Hua was full of pride and had a smile on his face.

The two sides appear to have reached a consensus.

"Wait!" Han Tao interrupted the process.

Manager Ning frowned, unsure of Han Tao's meaning.

Canghua's smile came to an abrupt end.

“It was Ning Rongrong and I who were attacked back then, so how to deal with him should be up to us.”

"I don't care about Ning Rongrong, but I don't intend to let Shi Nian off the hook!"

At this moment, Han Tao's public image is that of a selfish child.

However, this behavior is logical in the eyes of the public.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward and stood next to Han Tao: "Me too."

Ning Fengzhi's expression revealed a hint of suspicion.

Would Han Tao, a guy who only acts for personal gain, care about hatred?

will not!

Only higher interests can sway him.

So, he once again sent a telepathic message to Steward Ning: "Let's see what Han Tao has to say!"

Following Ning Fengzhi's instructions, Steward Ning turned his gaze to Han Tao and uttered the most touching words:
"That's a soul bone, and a spiritual one at that. Don't you want to consider it?"

"No!" Han Tao shook his head firmly.

Ye Lingling's fourth soul skill, Concentration, has already made up for the deficiency in her mental strength.

Han Tao was not as desperate as outsiders imagined, needing to enhance his mental strength to delay his death. He kept this secret to himself and told no one.

He turned to the dean of Canghui Academy, straightened his expression, and said:

“Shi Nian attacked and killed me and Ning Rongrong. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can’t let him go, otherwise, where would the face of the three upper sects be?

"You should dismiss this unrealistic view."

Han Tao's gaze swept across the faces of Steward Ning and Ning Fengzhi, finally settling on the dean of Canghui Academy.

Hearing Han Tao's words, Cang Hua felt conflicted.

This brat ruined my plans.

He asked with a calm expression:
"So, how do you think Canghui Academy should apologize?"

Han Tao waved his hand, saying, "You don't need to apologize."

"Shi Nian is Shi Nian, and Cang Hui Academy is Cang Hui Academy; the two are unrelated."

"Really?" Cang Hua was somewhat surprised.

When did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School become so easy to talk to? If so, then their previous schemes seem excessive.

Not only was Cang Hua surprised, but many members in the audience were also somewhat taken aback. Not everyone is willing to give up the "soul bone" that is so readily available.

"However, I may have a small personal need."

"As you know, because of the attack that year, I suffered considerable mental damage."

Cang Hua nodded.

“We at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have no expertise in treating mental injuries, so I may need your academy to access some information to investigate the source of the mental martial soul injury and heal yourself.”

The conditions proposed by Han Tao were not excessive, in fact, they were too mild.

If you ask 99% of the Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, "How do you heal mental injuries?", they will be completely clueless.

It was perfectly reasonable for someone who graduated from Canghui Academy at that time to seek treatment there.

At the same time, it also concealed Han Tao's true intentions.

"To find the connection between illusion and mind reading."

"Coward!" Tang San sneered.

If it were me, that soul bone would never escape my grasp.

Yu Xiaogang nodded in complete agreement; Tang San's words made perfect sense.

Having a sect behind you, yet not daring to be aggressive—what else is that but cowardice?
"A person who dares not cause trouble is a mediocre person!" This is Shrek Academy's motto.

The Great Circulation Meditation Method of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians connects the seven orifices, bringing about an enhancement of the five senses of the body.

With his keen hearing and sharp eyesight, Han Tao heard Tang San's curses.

His gaze narrowed slightly as he passed Tang San.

Did I offend him?

"Or did I inadvertently commit another act of self-destruction?"

Han Tao couldn't understand why Tang San was scolding him, since he hadn't offended him.

He sighed, deciding not to dwell on it, and turned to face Canghua.

"Yes, that's the proper thing to do."

It's nothing more than looking up some books; it's not a big deal.

As the dean of Canghui Academy, he certainly had the right to agree, and he dared not refuse.

Han Tao had already been very generous of him, proposing such a reasonable condition. Keep in mind that he was a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the top three sects, and could be completely unreasonable.

"Han Tao!" A voice called out.

She was very familiar, yet also aloof, just like her name: Ye Lingling.

Are you emotionally hurt?

"Perhaps I can heal you. Can you take me with you?"

Her gaze was like a clear lake, its end visible at a glance.

Han Tao did not agree directly, but instead looked at Cang Hua.

Cang Hua recognized Ye Lingling, one of only two people on the Douluo Continent to possess the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

No one wanted to offend the nanny, even if she wasn't a high-level one, so they said:

"can."

"No!" Ning Rongrong suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

A fierce gaze scrutinized Han Tao and Ye Lingling's faces.

"Either I go, or nobody goes!"

"I just learned from Ning Tian that someone bought the Concentration Mother Tree, and it cost them 70 gold soul coins."

Emperor Xueye chuckled, delighted, and sat down, taking out a bag of melon seeds.

Salas patted Ning Fengzhi on the shoulder with a strange expression.

Ye Lingling's expression remained calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about Ning Rongrong's question.

He said, "I am a healing-type Soul Master."

Ning Rongrong was furious upon hearing this.

You are a healing-type Soul Master, and you went to Canghui Academy to heal Han Tao; this is your duty.

"Does that make me seem unreasonable?"

Ugh, I'm so angry.
