Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect - Sharingan Intercepts Tianmeng

Chapter 31 Zhang Zhao was not on his way on horseback.

Seeing Zhao Yuanbu's confident demeanor, Bai Qingshan wanted to refute something, but ultimately remained silent.

In fact, Bai Qingshan had considered the situation Zhao Yuanbu mentioned at the beginning, but he really had no other options.

He knew his own situation. His innate soul power talent was average, and as a commoner, his resources were average. However, his backing was extraordinary, since he himself didn't have that kind of thing.

With average talent and resources, and the medications he took that would damage his future, Bai Qingshan realized one thing clearly on the day he reached level 40: unless he had some special opportunity, he would never have the slightest chance to reach the fifth-ring Soul King level in his entire life.

With his poor innate constitution and the fact that ordinary medicine would damage his future too much, his innate duality, combined with his four soul rings (one white, two yellow, and one purple), meant that reaching the level of a Four-Soul Master was already his limit.

Given his social class, the medicines he could access were completely incapable of solving any of his problems, and even raising his soul power by one level had become impossible.

After breaking through to level 41, he got stuck at level 41, and his soul power didn't move at all.

In this situation, even without Xiao Qiang, he would consider cultivating a genius with some talent, relying on that future connection to find a way for him to break through to the fifth-ring Soul King level.

At this time, Xiao Qiang, who possessed innate level 5 soul power and was also his own martial soul, took the initiative to approach him. At that time, Bai Qingshan had no reason to refuse.

Xiao Qiang didn't need to say much. As someone who had climbed up from the very bottom, Bai Qingshan knew the importance of resources to a Soul Master.

Talent is one aspect, but whether a Soul Master eats vegetarian food, meat, or Soul Beast meat is a completely different concept.

Therefore, since Xiao Qiang only said that chicken feed cannot raise phoenixes, Bai Qingshan solved many problems.

Soul beasts are a rare resource in the Sun Moon Empire, but fortunately, they are located in East Sea City. There are few soul beasts on land, but occasionally some fish in the sea carry the bloodline of soul beasts. Although many of them are not even ten-year soul beasts, at least they are soul beasts, which is something that Bai Qingshan, the vice dean, can barely afford if he grits his teeth.

As a result, he gritted his teeth and persevered until he was fourteen years old. He successfully went from being a middle-class family with considerable wealth to almost becoming a homeless person burdened with debt.

The reason he wasn't homeless was because he still had a respectable job. As a four-ring Soul Master and a Soul Instructor, no matter how down on his luck he became, he wouldn't end up on the streets.

Life has gotten worse every day. Two years ago, all the family property was sold off, and for the past two years, they have been barely surviving on debt.

He knew he might lose everything, but if he didn't take a chance now and waited, he figured he might miss his chance altogether.

He's still okay at his age now; he can wait another ten years. But what if he has to wait another ten years...?

He was ultimately just a four-ring Soul Master, and he didn't have that many ten years to wait.

"The principal is right. Let's not talk about that anymore. What about the advance payment of wages..." Bai Qingshan said with a smile.

"Advance salary payment?"

"Yes, after all, they owe quite a bit over there, do you think you could..."

"No." Before Bai Qingshan could finish speaking, Principal Zhao Yuanbu interrupted him.

"It's not like I spent your money. If you want money, go find that kid Xiao Qiang, don't come looking for me."

Zhao Yuanbu said with a cold face, his heart filled with anger when he talked about Xiao Qiang.

Xiao Qiang's innate level 5 soul power is already quite good in a place like the Sun Moon Empire, especially in a second-tier city like Donghai City.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanbu initially considered recruiting Xiao Qiang into the family, which is why the family made him the dean of the academy.

Just as he was about to recruit Xiao Qiang, Xiao Qiang presented him with a list of resources. Zhao Yuanbu was so tempted by the resources that he immediately rejected Xiao Qiang without hesitation.

However, Xiao Qiang's talent was indeed quite good, and he had heard some rumors about the Body Sect. Although he and Bai Qingshan did not know the specifics of the Body Sect, the existence of such rumors meant that Xiao Qiang's talent could be considered very high.

Zhao Yuanbu naturally had the intention of recruiting a highly talented person, so that he could become a powerful supporter of his lineage in the future.

But just as he decided to cut the resources Xiao Qiang wanted in half and then make an agreement with Xiao Qiang that he would marry his cousin to Xiao Qiang after he came of age, Bai Qingshan actually agreed to the resources Xiao Qiang wanted.

The original plan was suddenly disrupted, and Xiao Qiang was definitely not going to be recruited.

If you've received more money and enjoyed better treatment, how can you do more work for less money?

At that time, Zhao Yuanbu already had a great prejudice against Bai Qingshan, who arbitrarily disrupted the market. However, he had only been parachuted into the academy for a short time, and since Bai Qingshan did almost all the work, he really couldn't do much.

After all, compared to the veteran Bai Qingshan, he was ultimately an outsider who had been brought in. Getting people to do things was no problem, and going against Bai Qingshan was also no problem. As the principal, as long as he spoke, there would definitely be people who would side with him.

The problem is that he has to give benefits to those who side with him. After all, who would work for you if there were no benefits to be gained?

It's clearly no longer feasible to win Xiao Qiang over with a small amount of resources. Not only would Xiao Qiang be unhappy if they defeated Bai Qingshan and then tried to win him over with a small amount of resources, but when he needs to give resources to others to fight against Bai Qingshan, the resources he gives will likely be much more than what Xiao Qiang asked him to give.

Unless absolutely necessary, avoid increasing your physical form. Instead of getting into arguments with others, focus on cultivating your own abilities, since this world ultimately values ​​strength above all else.

Giving resources but not getting the benefits of double the speed is not worth the time and effort.

Moreover, Bai Qingshan has given all his resources to Xiao Qiang, so if he wants to recruit people as his lackeys, he can use even fewer resources.

Zhao Yuanbu acquired one top-tier talent and three relatively average talents, but used less than half the resources Xiao Qiang had requested. Overall, Zhao Yuanbu not only didn't lose money, but actually made a profit.

But thinking about Xiao Qiang's talent, and seeing Bai Qingshan who came to ask him for his salary, if he didn't give Bai Qingshan a good scolding, who would he vent his anger at having his man stolen from him?

"Dean, you know Xiao Qiang's situation. How am I supposed to get money from him now?"

"I don't care about that, that's your business. Since you chose this path, you can walk it yourself. Don't come looking for me if there's nothing wrong, and don't come looking for me if there is something wrong either." Dean Zhao Yuanbu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said impatiently.

"Hmm? Xiao Qiang? Looks like I didn't go to the wrong place after all. I got to the right place on my first delivery. I'm really good at this."
