Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Chapter 35 Bibi Dong in a Hurry

The God of Wealth was born in the summer of 3195.

The Spirit Hall promulgated the Green Sprouts Law and issued the Fifteen Postnatal Body Refinement Techniques, encouraging all children on the continent to learn the Fifteen Postnatal Body Refinement Techniques after they turn three years old.

The Fifteen Forms of Body Refinement can enhance a Soul Master's innate Soul Power. Even those with only a Martial Soul and no innate Soul Power have a certain probability of gaining Soul Power if they persist in practicing.

In order to promote the development of the Soul Master profession, the Spirit Hall, in conjunction with the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile School, formulated the "Post-natal Soul Master Training Program" and allocated nearly one billion gold soul coins. The program plans to complete the free popularization of the Fifteen Body Refinement Techniques throughout the continent within twenty years.

The Spirit Hall is about to establish a "Fifteen Forms of Body Refinement Training Center" in Spirit City. Trainees will be able to obtain a "Fifteen Forms of Body Refinement Dissemination Qualification Certificate" and receive remuneration for disseminating the technique.

The whole mainland was in an uproar!

There aren't many free things in this world.

Upon hearing this news, Bibi Dong nearly destroyed the martial soul simulation training ground due to her unstable Dao heart and rampaging spiritual power.

"Free? Why should it be free! Why doesn't the Spirit Hall offer free tuition to students?!"

How many gold coins does the top scorer in the exam get? Only the top scorer in a single subject gets one hundred!

The theoretical subjects were relatively easy; getting full marks meant you were number one.

But what about in actual combat?

There can only ever be one number one!

Out of more than 700 students in the entire grade, only a very small number received the prize money.

The terms for interest-free loans are also very strict. Only students ranked in the top 30 overall are eligible for interest-free loans, with a maximum amount of only 1,000 gold soul coins.

The low-interest loan amount is large, with an annualized interest rate between 1.2% and 6%. The higher the annualized interest rate, the larger the loan amount. The maximum loan amount is 100,000 yuan per year. Students who rank in the top 50 in the overall ranking can apply. The higher the ranking, the larger the loan amount they can apply for.

The academy's public recruitment materials were incredibly enticing—each grade had monthly, midterm, and final exams, with rewards awarded based on rankings, including but not limited to: free gold soul coins, interest-free loans, low-interest loans, and extended use of training grounds.

In reality, this approach obscures the potential conditions for rewards, hides the reward amounts, and fails to mention the difference between rewards for individual subject rankings and overall rankings; it merely offers empty promises.

Their recruitment campaigns are practically a scam!

Thinking of her miserable life, Bibi Dong slammed her fist on the table in anger and decided to incite the students in her class to march and demonstrate, demanding that the Spirit Hall prohibit the Spirit Hall from publicly disclosing the methods of cultivating acquired soul power for free.

She wasn't jealous that others could get it for free.

She was just pursuing fairness!

"Mom, isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?" After hearing Bibi Dong's plan, Li Buqi felt a little timid. The academy has already announced the teaching plan for the next semester. All students must learn the Fifteen Forms of Body Refinement. This technique will be a separate assessment subject, and those who excel will receive the "Fifteen Forms of Body Refinement Dissemination Qualification Certificate" issued by the Spirit Hall.

This is a great opportunity to make money!

To jump out and oppose the Spirit Hall at this critical juncture—is that just plain stupid?

Of course, Li Buqi wouldn't dare to call the esteemed second-place student in his grade cerebral palsy.

He only dared to cricket in his heart!

Bibi Dong was exasperated, feeling her adopted son was too short-sighted: "Do you know how many people there are on Douluo Continent? Close to 7000!"

Tens of thousands! How many Soul Masters are there? Even including those fallen Soul Masters, the total number doesn't exceed 30!

"Of these 6900 million people, only a very small number do not have a martial spirit. Most of them are unable to cultivate because they lack innate soul power."

"I know that even if they cultivate the Fifteen Forms of Body Refinement, they may not necessarily become Acquired Soul Masters. Therefore, I assume that at least one in a hundred people will succeed, and the number of newly added Acquired Soul Masters will reach 69! That's more than double the current number of Soul Masters!"

"With so many Soul Masters, how many cultivation resources will they take away? Have you thought about whether prices will rise in the future?"

Li Buqi scratched his head; a seven-year-old's brain couldn't yet grasp such complex issues. Although he might face many more competitors, they all seemed rather incompetent!

They must be really bad at it — right?

"Mom, they're just Soul Warriors, they don't pose a threat to us, right?"

Bibi Dong was speechless, feeling like she couldn't understand ice when she was in summer, and she felt like she was having a heart attack.

Even a large enough number of ants can kill an elephant.

With hundreds of thousands of new Soul Warriors suddenly appearing, how could the cultivation resources of low-level Soul Masters not be affected?

If market demand increases and supply is insufficient, won't prices rise?

These low-level Soul Masters have almost no ability to earn money on their own. Once the price of resources rises, they can only borrow money from the academy.

Are college loans so easy to get?

Ranking and quota are directly related.

Students will inevitably engage in fierce competition to obtain more low-interest loans!

In this highly competitive environment, there's a very high probability that a spoiled rich kid will suddenly become determined to improve, hire a private tutor, and study full-time in a simulated training environment. As long as he has enough gold soul coins to consume, his progress will definitely be extremely rapid!

At that time, the rankings of the rich kids will surely skyrocket, and they will become the objects of praise from the teachers at the grade-level commendation meeting.

Having experienced the spotlight, they are absolutely unwilling to continue to languish.

They'll keep spending money! Spending like crazy!

To them, Gold Soul Coins were just a string of cold, hard numbers.

But the college's rankings bring them supreme honor and satisfy their vanity.

Paying to control everything is like Pandora's box; once opened, it can never be closed again!

Simply put, Bibi Dong, who comes from humble beginnings, can't beat players who spend money on in-game purchases!

She can now outmaneuver these kids for three reasons: she has cultivation experience from her previous life; the rich kids haven't started spending money on in-game purchases yet; and most of the kids are illiterate and are learning the most basic things, so they don't have much time to cultivate.

Two years later, the children had learned common characters and had plenty of time to cultivate. Her only advantage was her cultivation experience from her previous life!

But the downside of spending money on in-game purchases —

You can't win by spending money! You really can't win by spending money!

"If you want to live a life of constant struggle and relentless torment, then keep slacking off!"

"Why should I get involved? Even a Soul Master with innate Soul Power Level 1 has a hard time becoming a Soul Grandmaster; the upper limit for a Soul Master is probably just Soul Grandmaster. I have innate Soul Power Level 8; I'm sure I can become a Soul Saint. There's no need to compete with them!"

As a shrewd and calculating person, Li Buqi had a clear understanding of the benefits involved and didn't believe Bibi Dong's theory at all.

Perhaps what the adoptive mother said is true, but this phenomenon is probably something that will happen twenty years from now.

Twenty years later—as long as he can get the loan, his cultivation level will definitely reach the Soul King level.

For Soul King level experts, as long as they hold multiple certificates and plan their work schedules reasonably, earning 100,000 a month is not a dream!

As long as he works hard, his child's starting point will definitely be much higher than that of ordinary people!

An ordinary person might work themselves to the bone for a year and still not be able to afford a single bottle of whale glue medicine.

He only needs to work for a few days to provide his child with rare cultivation resources. Even if prices rise, the high-level Soul Master and his family won't be affected too much, so why rush?

Since Bibi Dong couldn't command Li Buqi, she had to think of another way.

Suddenly, a tall and distinctive figure appeared in her mind—
