Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Inside the Demon Forest, both sides fell into a deathly silence.

Seeing that Sheng Yangyue only gave her name and didn't say anything more, Kong Deming was at a loss for words.

But then he thought that there was nothing to talk about with two strangers who had suddenly appeared, so he first showed goodwill by saying, "Young friend, my student and I mean no harm."

"If you're willing, you might as well sell me that soul bone from earlier."

He added, "I am a teacher at the Sun and Moon Royal Academy. I would never break my promise, much less steal other people's property."

Sheng Yangyue knew what was going on with the two men. He was pondering whether he should spend more time with them or make a simpler new choice—sell the soul bone to them, then turn around and leave to find Ye Xishui, his tool.

Xiao Hongchen looked at the boy who was a few years older than her and listened to his teacher's words, standing there silently.

Just as he was about to speak up to persuade her, he was stopped by the teacher.

Kong Deming shook his head at Xiao Hongchen, then looked at Sheng Yangyue in front of him and waited patiently.

In his view, the fact that this young man dared to venture into the Demon Forest alone and was able to single-handedly defeat the Thousand-Year-Old Evil Eye Tyrant was enough to demonstrate his extraordinary talent.

If given the chance… he thought to himself, he wanted to bring this boy into the academy.

It should be noted that while the Sun Moon Royal Academy's teaching ability in soul tools is top-notch, its performance in the field of martial souls is ridiculously poor, completely lagging behind the soul master academies of the original Three Kingdoms, and can even be considered the worst of the worst!
"can."

Sheng Yangyue finally made up her mind and answered.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming smiled kindly: "Then how about your offer?"

"Fifty million gold soul coins!"

"Are you robbing me?" Before Kong Deming could answer, Xiao Hongchen exclaimed in shock. A thousand-year-old soul bone selling for fifty million gold soul coins, what's the difference between that and robbery?
"Seventy-five million!" Sheng Yangyue didn't even glance at Xiao Hongchen before directly raising the price for Kong Deming.

"you……"

Xiao Hongchen wanted to say something, but Kong Deming glared at him and he could only swallow back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Indeed, I got a bargain, and it's a spirit-type soul bone, which can bring a huge boost to a soul master. How about I round it up and offer 80 million gold soul coins?"

In an effort to increase the young man's favorability towards him, Kong Deming rounded up the number to an even number, leaving Xiao Hongchen, who was standing nearby, stunned.

He even suspected that his teacher had been so frightened by the boy that he had started talking nonsense.

"can!"

Without a second thought, Sheng Yangyue nodded in agreement and then said, "Cash on delivery."

"Okay." Kong Deming took out a quasi-level nine exclusive gold soul coin card that belonged to him, wrapped it with soul power, and flew to Sheng Yangyue.

Sheng Yangyue tossed the soul bone in her hand over, caught the card, glanced at it with her spiritual power, and then silently put it away.

It must be said that the Sun Moon Empire's expertise in soul tools is monstrous.

They combined space technology with cards to achieve a clever storage function. Even if Shrek Academy studied it for tens of thousands of years, they might not be able to figure out the mystery.

Seeing that Sheng Yangyue was about to turn around, Kong Deming, who was still playing with the head soul bone in his hand, immediately put it away and called out to him, "Young friend, wait a moment."

Sheng Yangyue stopped in her tracks, understanding dawning on her.

Just as expected, Kong Deming finally extended an olive branch to her. "Is there anything else, senior?" Sheng Yangyue asked, feigning curiosity.

"Young friend, which family do you come from? Have you ever thought about studying at the academy?" Kong Deming asked cautiously.

He secretly calculated: if the boy in front of him was an orphan, he would be prepared to knock him unconscious and take him back to the academy, and let him choose compensation when he woke up; if he came from a family, then he would show his utmost sincerity—he did not believe that a young man of this age would be unmoved.

Xiao Hongchen, who was standing to the side, suddenly realized: it turned out that the teacher's actions just now were not because he was foolish and rich, but to pave the way for winning over this young man.

He silently made a mental note, 'I've learned something, I've learned something…'

"I come from a reclusive family. As for the academy, I haven't considered it yet, but I'd like to go to that Shi Academy."

"Young friend!" Kong Deming appeared in front of Sheng Yangyue in an instant, grabbed his hand, leaving Sheng Yangyue completely bewildered.

“Shrek Academy is nothing special. I think you are more suited to Sun Moon Royal Academy. Whatever resources you want, we can provide them for you.”

"Moreover, Shrek Academy is too competitive and resources are very scarce, so you should really consider my Sun Moon Royal Academy."

"I am still the youngest director in the academy, and I can guarantee all the promises I make to you today!"

"Young friend, please choose my Sun and Moon Royal Academy!!!"

In the distance, Xiao Hongchen watched Teacher Kong's performance with shock in her eyes.

Is this still the same Teacher Kong he knows?
Isn't he that extremely dignified quasi-ninth-level Soul Master?
When did it become like this?

"What are your conditions? Tell me." Sheng Yangyue was genuinely shocked by Kong Deming's exaggerated expression, and even her cold expression faltered.

"Young friend, as long as you join our Royal Academy, I can provide you with all the resources you desire. Moreover, as long as you apply for promotion to a Soul Master from level one to seven, I will approve it immediately." After answering, Kong Deming casually asked, "Young friend, how old are you this year, and how much soul power do you have?"

Kong Deming almost forgot to ask these questions.

If Sheng Yangyue's age exceeds the standard, he will have to rethink his plans.

"Fifteen years old, a six-ring Soul Emperor."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Yangyue released her six soul rings: purple, purple, purple, black, black, black.

Xiao Hongchen initially thought Sheng Yangyue was just bragging, but when he saw Sheng Yangyue's soul rings, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

What the hell is this human being?
Kong Deming was equally shocked. He then swallowed hard and hurriedly said, "Young friend, the conditions I just mentioned are only the lowest level. I think you deserve a higher level of treatment."

"As long as you're willing to join the academy, I'll do anything I can to help you!"

"As long as the soul tool is below level nine, I can approve the application directly; if it is a soul tool I made myself, as long as it is not level nine, you can take it and use it."

"I will also apply to His Majesty the Emperor to have a renowned Soul Master from the Sun Moon Empire teach you, so young friend, please consider this carefully."

"These are privileges that even the most talented young people at Shrek Academy might not be able to enjoy. Besides, Shrek Academy has an age limit of twelve for enrollment, and you have already missed the registration deadline."

At this moment, Kong Deming's eyes were filled with longing for the genius Sheng Yangyue.
