Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 162 Ling Luochen in Xiao Qiang's Room

Huo Yuhao and the others quickly moved into the dormitory of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and then Xiao Qiang prepared to assign them their respective instructors.

Because Xiao Qiang knew the situation of Xuan Ziwen and Huo Yuhao, and Jing Hongchen had entrusted Xiao Qiang with the exchange student matter, Xiao Qiang took the initiative to replace Xuan Ziwen, who was originally supposed to be Huo Yuhao's mentor, with a native seventh-level soul tool from the Sun Moon Empire.

This prevents Huo Yuhao from poaching her, and also ensures that even if something unexpected happens and she is poached, Huo Yuhao won't get anything substantial.

Moreover, Xiao Qiang had considered the remaining luck on Huo Yuhao's side, so he planned to assign him only an ordinary level seven soul master. In fact, among the many level seven soul masters, he was relatively inferior. Even if Huo Yuhao had a method to enable this level seven soul master to achieve enlightenment, at most a level seven soul master could only achieve enlightenment to level eight, and that level eight soul master would not have come into contact with the core technology of Mingde Hall. The main goal was to maximize the margin for error.

"Alright, that's enough for us. Their words are sufficient to teach these students."

In Xiao Qiang's room at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Xiao Qiang selected several Level 7 Soul Masters as mentors for this exchange student program. Unlike the situation in the original story, Shrek Academy, which lost the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, now relies solely on its so-called honors. However, these honors have become somewhat rootless and adrift after the defeat in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament. Therefore, the decision now rests with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

If Shrek Academy really disagrees with the teaching resources, the exchange student program can be stopped, since stopping it won't cause any loss to the Sun Moon Empire.

Moreover, Xiao Qiang knew what Shrek Academy's purpose was, and this exchange program would definitely not be stopped just because the Sun Moon Empire only sent a level seven soul master.

Just after Xiao Qiang had finished assigning teachers to all the students, there was a knock on his door.

"Enter."

The door opened, and Ling Luochen walked in.

Xiao Qiang didn't understand why Ling Luochen had come to his room, but considering the difference in strength between them, he didn't pay much attention. He casually pointed to a seat, indicating for Ling Luochen to sit down, and then got straight to the point. "What is it?"

Ling Luochen was a little uncomfortable being alone in a boy's room with him for the first time, but remembering her purpose, she quickly adjusted her mindset. "I heard you're in charge of this exchange student program?"

"right."

"Could you arrange for me to have a teacher who is skilled at creating invincible shields and soul-guided shields?"

"Huh? You really want to learn how to make soul tools?" Xiao Qiang didn't quite understand what Ling Luochen meant. Although Ling Luochen made it very clear, it seemed that Ling Luochen in the original work never even thought about making soul tools. In Xiao Qiang's understanding, Ling Luochen was a pure martial soul system student. Although she wouldn't say that she hated soul tools, it seemed that she didn't want to learn them at all.

"Of course, I want to learn how to make an invincible shield." In the original story, Ling Luochen wasn't interested in soul tools, but the butterfly effect caused by the evil soul master made Ling Luochen clearly aware of the power of an invincible shield.

Of the seven people in the group, four died instantly, their bodies torn to pieces. She was less injured because she had a soul guide shield, while Dai Yueheng, who had an invincible shield and a soul guide shield, survived the corpse explosion unscathed.

At that critical moment of life and death, Ling Luochen clearly saw the benefits of the Invincible Shield and the Soul Guidance Shield. Especially when she heard the name Elder Xuan, she wished she could grow two more Invincible Shields to protect herself. Heaven knows how terrified she was when she learned that Elder Xuan was originally going to lead the team on her way to the Sun Moon Empire.

Zhang Lexuan from the competition before that, Feng Yao from the previous competition, and this year's Shrek Seven Devils—all these experiences tell Ling Luochen to quickly create an invincible shield to increase safety.

"You want to learn how to make an invincible shield? Forget about that, you might as well just wash up and go to bed."

"What did you say!" Upon hearing Xiao Qiang's words, Ling Luochen stood up abruptly.

"I'm telling you, you should forget about learning how to build an invincible shield. Go wash up and go to bed."

Ling Luochen glared at Xiao Qiang with gritted teeth, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice, which left Xiao Qiang completely bewildered.

"Does it have to be this way? I can pay money or give something else." Ling Luochen covered her chest with both hands and looked at Xiao Qiang with a terrified expression, as if she had been bullied.

"Wait a minute, explain yourself clearly. I feel like you've misunderstood something."

"What misunderstanding could there be? You told me to wash up and go to bed! What else could it be but that kind of thing? It's also my fault, because the pressure from Elder Xuan was too great and I actually forgot that we were in enemy territory."

"Let's put aside the pressure Elder Xuan exerted. Is it possible that when I said 'go to sleep,' I meant you shouldn't even think about making the Invincible Shield? The most important material for that thing is gold crystal, which can only be produced by the Sun Moon Empire. Not to mention how long it would take you to learn how to make an Invincible Shield from scratch, or even if you could learn it at all? Even if you did learn how to make an Invincible Shield, without the raw materials, you simply couldn't make it. That's what I meant. As for you, what exactly are you thinking?"

"I...I thought when you said 'go wash up and go to bed,' you meant for me to..."

Xiao Qiang responded to Ling Luochen with a look that seemed to say, "You're dumbfounded."

"I'm sorry, but it's mainly because it's my first time in a boy's room, and it's a boy I can't beat up."

"So what? What were you thinking when you first came to my room alone? And do I really look like someone who would be dominated by those below?"

"Wasn't it because Elder Xuan was putting too much pressure on me? It's my fault for overthinking it," Ling Luochen said apologetically.

God knows how devastated she was when she found out that Elder Xuan was coming to escort her. As someone who had been betrayed by Elder Xuan several times, she was now really afraid that Elder Xuan would be the one to meet her when she returned.

"If my studies aren't going well, then I'll buy..."

Even knowing he wasn't doing well academically, Ling Luochen didn't give up, after all, his family was quite wealthy, but...

"Strategic materials are subject to purchase restrictions for our own citizens and will not be sold to anyone who is not a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Isn't there any way to make an exception?"

"I don't have any here. They occasionally come out on the black market, but whether you can buy them depends on luck. If you really need them, you might be able to contact my teacher. If you officially join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, your teacher should be able to give you a lot of invincible shields."

"You want me to betray Shrek Academy?"

"No, it's just that you've encountered a problem. I'm providing you with a solution. Whether you use it or not is up to you and has nothing to do with me. Besides, even if you join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, there won't be much of a relationship between us. After all, your talent is only considered good, not worthy of being accepted as a disciple by a teacher. If you don't want to join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, then go to the black market. However, the invincible shields that occasionally appear on the black market are not something that people without a background can snatch."

"After all, once that stuff flows back to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, its price will more than double or triple. Many merchants with connections to the great nobles are willing to take the risk for it."

"If you buy it from our area, wouldn't I have come all this way for nothing?"

"Pretty much, that's why I told you about the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy path, but whether you choose to take it or not is up to you, it's none of my business."

Ling Luochen was deep in thought. Just as she was about to tell Xiao Qiang that she would consider it, there was a knock on Xiao Qiang's door. Immediately afterward, Xiao Qiang saw Ling Luochen panic for a moment, and then she quickly scurried under Xiao Qiang's bed.

Xiao Qiang: "..."
