Douluo: Twin Origins, Suppressing the World

Chapter 125 Shrek Academy, it's time to come to an end!

Hearing Xu Jiujiu's words, Ling Shuang was somewhat tempted.

If you don't need to waste too much of your time and can get a decent reward just by participating in a small continent-wide advanced soul master competition, then it's not bad.

Although Ling Shuang is not short of money and resources as someone backed by the two Ice and Snow Emperors, no one would complain about having too much of these things.

After a moment's thought, Ling Shuang slowly held up three fingers: "Three level-nine soul tool design blueprints. I'll help you win the championship of this continent-wide advanced soul master competition, how about it?"

Three level-nine soul tool design blueprints—their value is definitely not just a simple number.

Level 9 soul tools are almost entirely blocked by the Sun Moon Empire, and very few are circulating.

Let alone blueprints, even level nine soul tools are rare among other empires.

Its limited quantity makes it very valuable.

Three level-nine soul tool design blueprints—even for a wealthy and powerful force like the Star Luo Royal Family, producing such a thing would be a huge financial burden.

Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Ling Shuang did not press the matter: "If Your Highness feels that this condition is too much, then let it go."

He didn't necessarily want to be a bounty hunter; he just thought it would be nice to do it casually and get some reward.

If he's really that persistent, he could go to the Sun and Moon Empire.

In order to win the championship of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition and make Sun Moon Royal Academy surpass Shrek Academy, they certainly wouldn't be stingy with three level-nine soul tool design blueprints.

"Okay, I agree on behalf of the Star Luo Royal Family." Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth and agreed.

She ultimately made her choice.

The champion of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is quite significant.

This not only provides the people of the Star Luo Empire with an opportunity to enhance the prestige of the royal family, but also serves as a demonstration by the Star Luo royal family against some of their powerful ministers.

The White Tiger Duke's Mansion seems to have an excellent relationship with the Star Luo Royal Family, but this is only on the surface.

This can be seen from the fact that both sons of the White Tiger Duke's mansion went to Shrek Academy to study, while neither of them went to Star Luo Royal Academy.

Moreover, ten thousand years ago, the Star Luo royal family was originally the White Tiger Dai family. The intricate relationship between them meant that the two could never truly be completely peaceful.

The fact that the young master of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion represented Shrek Academy in the competition and defeated the Star Luo Royal Academy to win the championship will surely create the impression among the Star Luo people that the Star Luo royal family is not as good as the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

The fact that the royal family is less respected by the people than their subjects speaks volumes to everyone.

The Dai brothers can study at Shrek Academy and even enter the Inner Academy, but representing Shrek Academy in competitions is a completely different matter.

The White Tiger Duke couldn't be so foolish as to not understand this.

His laissez-faire attitude says a lot.

Some people may seem like they know nothing, but in reality, they understand things better than anyone else; they're just using this method to achieve their goals.

However, the White Tiger Duke's Mansion wielded considerable influence within the military, and even the Star Luo Royal Family could not openly harass him.

Xu Jiawei, the emperor of Xingluo, couldn't possibly tell Dai Hao not to let the young master of the Dai family represent Shrek Academy in the competition, because that would make him lose face as the emperor.

Therefore, this championship is of great significance to the Star Luo royal family. It tells the people of the Star Luo Empire that the Star Luo royal family is still the Star Luo royal family, and the White Tiger Duke's Mansion is just a subject.

She believed that even if it were her older brother, Xu Jiawei, he would make the same choice.

As for whether breaking Shrek Academy's championship would cause dissatisfaction within Shrek Academy, that's not a problem at all.

Do you really think that the three great empires find Shrek Academy particularly pleasing to the eye?
With a single call to arms, he led the three great empires in resistance against the Sun and Moon Empire...

Ha ha.

"I prefer doing business with someone like Her Highness the Princess." Ling Shuang's lips curled slightly as she extended her palm. Seeing his noticeably improved attitude, Xu Jiujiu's lips twitched slightly.

This young master Ling is truly...

However, Xu Jiujiu did not dislike this approach.

After all, the world is full of troubles, and most people interact for their own benefit; it's just that some people show it on the surface, while others pretend to be.

However, after a long time, I still feel a little frustrated.

Is her proud appearance really that worthless compared to three level-nine soul tool design blueprints?
If Ling Shuang knew her thoughts, she would definitely nod solemnly.

The three level-nine soul tool design blueprints were quite useful to him, but a face was of no use to him.

Of course, if Ling Shuang lowered his standards a bit, he could have taken advantage of Xu Jiujiu's interest in him and made a move.

It's not impossible that they could not only obtain the blueprints for the level nine soul tool, but also take over the entire Star Luo royal family.

It's a pity that Ling Shuang values ​​profit, but she doesn't prioritize profit above all else.

"It's a pleasure to work with you." Xu Jiujiu smiled and shook Ling Shuang's hand.

"Pleasant to work with."

They parted just as quickly as they touched, Ling Shuang's movements were swift and decisive, without any hint of ambiguity.

"In a while, when the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is about to begin, I will go to the Star Luo Royal Academy to fulfill my promise."

"Your Highness need not worry about me breaking my promise. After all, we haven't invested anything yet, so even if I do break my promise, Your Highness will not suffer any loss."

Ling Shuang said lightly.

He knew that Xu Jiujiu was a smart man and was not afraid that the Xingluo royal family would go back on their word after the deal was done, so he did not ask for a deposit in advance.

That's something only people without connections should consider. Since the Star Luo Royal Family has investigated Shrek Academy, they can't possibly be unaware that they have a background that even Shrek Academy wouldn't want to mess with.

"Young Master Ling is too kind. Of course I believe you." Xu Jiujiu still wore that standard smiling expression.

Ling Shuang did not respond.

"Your Highness, farewell."

He waved and led Jiang Nannan and Wang Qiu'er out of the hotel, preparing to continue their journey.

It was only after their figures disappeared from sight that he finally looked away.

"Xiao Yan, have someone inform the Emperor about today's events and make room for Young Master Ling."

"Yes, Princess."

Although the maidservant, nicknamed Xiao Yan, felt that a champion of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Competition was not as valuable as three level-nine soul tool design blueprints, she did not ask any further questions.

Her Highness must have her reasons for doing this.

As a servant, she had a clear sense of self and knew what she should and shouldn't worry about.

After a long while, he returned to his table and began to eat the food he had not yet finished.

Her gaze was deep and unfathomable, and she murmured to herself:

"The legend of Shrek has come to an end!"
