Douluo Continent: My plan to slay the gods has been exposed!

Chapter 89 Mercenary Association Plan

In the past six months, the Spirit Hall's actions have changed. With the intervention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, all branch halls still have the task of distributing Soul Master subsidies and sending geniuses to headquarters, but there are also some plans to support lower-level Soul Masters and hold commercial exhibitions.

They set up a breeding farm to raise non-aggressive soul beasts. Due to the perverse tastes of some people, the main animals raised were the relatively weak Soft Bone Rabbits, whose main food was the readily available Blue Silver Grass.

On the other hand, some channels were opened up to help middle-aged and elderly low-level soul masters obtain soul rings through loans. The main source of funds was provided by the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. However, the market was expected to be too large, and it was difficult to find suitable people. There were very few people who could guarantee loyalty. Apart from the disciples of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the credibility of the other idle soul masters could not be guaranteed.

If someone were to kill their employer because of a soul bone, or if it were a premeditated act of using a mission to kill, then the Spirit Hall's reputation would be completely ruined.

"Therefore, it's necessary to prepare for both possibilities when it comes to some things."

As she pondered, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but doodle in her notebook again, while Hu Liena picked up the business plan on the table, her face full of curiosity: "Chamber of Commerce business plan: new pilot organizational structure. Five-year 3% interest loan support?"

hiss.

The little fox blinked. Although it couldn't understand, it had a very powerful feeling about it!

"Wait, what's this?"

Just as Hu Liena was admiring her junior sister's messy handwriting, she discovered something rather novel behind the densely written paper.

"We will recruit Soul Masters from across the continent in the form of employment, and evaluate their level based on mission completion and reputation. The Spirit Hall will be responsible for handling any unforeseen events that occur outside of the contract. The Spirit Hall will also take a cut of the commission."

"Anything that violates laws and regulations, is against nature and reason, or damages the environment is forbidden. Otherwise, we will accept any matter, big or small."

Once you register your identity, they'll handle everything, big or small.

Hu Liena's eyes widened: "Yes, this is interesting."

She skipped over the series of construction instructions and turned to the last page, where several large words immediately caught her eye.

"【Continental Mercenary Association Project Proposal】?"

"Hiss, the Mercenary Family?"

"Is our Spirit Hall going to change its name from now on?"

"Rongrong, are you serious?!"

"Such a brilliant idea! That's fantastic!!!"

Hu Liena excitedly opened her arms and hugged Ning Rongrong, rubbing her face against Ning Rongrong's smooth forehead, so excited she felt like she could fly!

If this so-called "Mercenary Association" is really established, she will definitely take Xie Yue and Yan there to have some fun, punish the strong and eliminate the evil, help the weak hunt soul beasts to earn commissions, travel and cultivate at the same time, earn money and see the scenery of the continent. It would be so interesting!

"Stop rubbing against me, be gentle! You're spitting in my face, you jerk!"

Feeling the wetness on her face, Ning Rongrong was filled with despair. She pushed her frantically, but the difference between a support soul master and a strength soul master was too obvious. Even hitting her felt like tickling her.

"Rongrong, you're so cute!"

After rubbing against him for a while, Hu Liena finally couldn't help but let go, laughing heartily, "This plan definitely needs to be shown to the teacher. Don't worry, junior sister, your painstakingly crafted plan won't be wasted. Even if I have to beg the teacher, I'll make sure it's completed!"

"Can't you even look at it properly?"

Wiping the spittle off her face with utter despair, Ning Rongrong pointed at the project proposal and said speechlessly, "There are marks from the teacher's corrections in the middle. And that 'read' at the very end, wasn't that written by the teacher himself?"

"Ah, haha, I wasn't looking!"

Your martial spirit isn't a fox, it's a husky, isn't it?

"You always act so well-behaved, like a proper lady," Ning Rongrong said, utterly speechless. "If you went to see Xie Yue and Yan like this, they'd both be scared away!"

Who cares about them?

Hu Liena pouted, then couldn't resist hugging Ning Rongrong again, nuzzling her with a look of enjoyment: "What's so good about stinky men? None of them smell as good as Rongrong!"

"Get the hell out of my way, you bastard!"

The usually deathly silent laboratory was suddenly filled with an angry roar, startling a passing dean who nearly jumped out of his skin. After listening carefully for a while, he could only sigh with resentment at how wonderful it was to be young.

"Okay, stop fooling around."

Lying casually on Ning Rongrong's usual bed, bathed in the sunlight, Hu Liena rubbed her eyes, looking quite content. She turned over and gazed at Ning Rongrong, who had been engrossed in writing and drawing for a while, before letting out a big yawn: "So, how long do you plan to go out? Or should I ask the teacher if I can come along to play and learn something?"

"Come on, you just want to go out and play, and do you really think the teacher will agree?"

Ning Rongrong didn't even look up, her hand scribbling in her notebook as if it would never stop: "Four years ago you were already a Soul King, but in these past few years you've barely managed to cultivate to the Soul Emperor level. There are some things your teacher didn't say, but that doesn't mean she won't keep them in mind. She's considering your feelings, and you shouldn't disappoint her."

Hu Liena immediately fell silent, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Five years ago, she was already a Soul King. After four years of training in the City of Slaughter, she returned and cultivated diligently for another year, finally pushing her cultivation level to level sixty. A few days ago, after breaking through, she applied to have Elder Ghost accompany her to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a 40,000-year-old six-tailed fox soul ring.

This rate of advancement is already quite fast, deserving the title of genius. However, with the backing of a behemoth like the Spirit Hall and his own exceptional talent, he appears somewhat mediocre.

As the soul of the Golden Generation, with a talent that even Bibi Dong admired, and having earned the title of Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was destined to shine brightly, rather than standing shoulder to shoulder with Xie Yue and Yan.

"Actually, I have been working very hard in my cultivation, but I don't know why. I have been feeling blocked in my cultivation for the past year or two."

Hu Liena's playful smile faded little by little in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

"Even if you keep training until you're exhausted, and use meditation to replace sleep, you'll always feel a noticeable palpitation, and then you'll gradually lose the ability to detect the flow of your soul power. It's even harder to keep going as you go on."

She couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Do you think it's because I don't want to work hard? You know, every night I spent spacing out in the training room, I was almost going crazy!"

"Neither Xie Yue nor Yan have encountered this problem. Sometimes I wonder if the deacon who awakened my talent made a mistake, or if my talent was never this good to begin with."
