Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 140 The Scheme of Exploiting Kindness

As for Tang San and Xiao Wu, the latter simply followed the former.

Although Tang San said he would go back and think about it, and did not directly reject his offer, Ning Fengzhi could tell from Tang San's eyes that this boy was arrogant and proud, and probably never thought about joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or any other force.

Tang San and Xiao Wu have no interest in that, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing can't be recruited, and Ma Hongjun is controlled by the evil fire and will most likely die in the future. Damn it~, this recruitment attempt has failed me.

After all, even if he didn't extend an olive branch, Oscar, the remaining one of the six, was willing to contribute to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As for the remaining members of Shrek Academy? Well, in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Jiangzhu, Huang Yuan, and the others can only be considered talented, not geniuses, and are dispensable.

Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi noticed that Chen Xin, who was beside him, was frowning and staring at the departing figures of the Shrek Academy members.

"Uncle Jian, what's going on?"

Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

Turning his gaze away, Chen Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that Xiao Wu's aura is a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it."

Although Chen Xin sensed something unusual about Xiao Wu's aura, he couldn't perceive it very clearly because his spiritual power was entirely driven by his soul power level.

Moreover, examples of transformed soul beasts are too rare, and Chen Xin had not made that connection beforehand.

Furthermore, after a soul beast transforms into human form, its martial soul is the same as its original body. It's impossible for even a mere Soft Bone Rabbit to cultivate into a 100,000-year-old beast king, right?

Chen Xin: Impossible, absolutely impossible!

After all, if even a soul beast with ordinary bloodline like the Soft Bone Rabbit could cultivate into a 100,000-year-old beast king, then 100,000-year-old soul beasts would be everywhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"By the way, Feng Zhi, Mu Xiyue from Blazing Fire Academy has also become a nine-ring Title Douluo."

Ignoring the issue of Xiao Wu's slightly unusual aura, Chen Xin spoke to Ning Fengzhi with a serious expression.

"Oh? Blazing Fire Academy has produced another Title Douluo?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Chen Xin is a level 96 Title Douluo, one of the strongest in the continent's soul master world. He may not be able to accurately determine the specific soul power level of a Title Douluo, but he can definitely tell whether the other party is a nine-ring Title Douluo unless there is a special way to conceal his aura.

What good deeds has Blazing Fire Academy done to produce two Title Douluo in recent years?

"Tsk~, looks like I need to get out and about more."

Ning Fengzhi thought to himself.

If the three upper sects can be united, then the various forces in Tiandou can also be united! In any case, it's not uncommon for graduates of Blazing Fire Academy to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the past.

Half an hour later, in a private room of a teahouse.

"Young Master."

Pushing open the door, She Long and Ci Xue bowed to Qian Renxue, who had transformed into Xue Qinghe.

"There's something I need you to do."

Taking a sip of tea, Qian Renxue nodded slightly and then spoke.

"Please give your orders, young master!"

"Send someone to test Mu Yang of Blazing Fire Academy. A sixth-ring, no, send a seventh-ring Soul Saint. But remember, do not kill him or seriously injure him."

Qian Renxue gave her instructions.

Before today, Qian Renxue had no intention of testing Mu Yang's strength. After all, food-type soul masters rely entirely on soul skills for survival. As long as their soul power level is high enough and the food soul skills are powerful, that's enough. They can't ask for too much in other aspects.

However, upon seeing that Mu Yun, a food-type Soul Master, had become the captain of the Blazing Fire Team, Qian Renxue keenly sensed something amiss.

It's important to understand that the position of team captain is not one that just anyone can hold; the primary prerequisite is the ability to command respect from the team.

With two Soul Kings, Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu, making Mu Yang, a food-type Soul Master, the captain of the Blazing Fire Team must have a deeper meaning.

Moreover, this shouldn't be due to Mu Yang's superior tactical command ability. If it were just about tactical command ability, then the captain should be Huo Wu, who is a control-type soul master, and Mu Yang would at most be a vice-captain.

Therefore, Qian Renxue, who was already very curious about Mu Yang, decided to send someone to test him and see if Mu Yang, this food-type soul master, was a proper food-type soul master.

"Young Master, Mu Xiyue from Blazing Fire Academy should have already become a nine-ring Title Douluo. If we send people to probe, they will most likely never return."

She Long said hesitantly.

"Hmm? A Title Douluo?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue frowned.

Didn't Blazing Fire Academy produce a Title Douluo a few years ago? Why is there another one?

When did it become so easy to break through to the Title Douluo realm?

Wait a minute~, could it be that Mu Xiyue also consumed the legendary immortal herbs to break through to the Title Douluo level?

If this conjecture is true, then it makes more sense. Only legendary items like celestial herbs could have enabled Mu Xiyue, who was a seven-ring Soul Saint during the last Soul Master Competition, to cultivate from a seven-ring Soul Saint to a nine-ring Title Douluo in just ten years.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Renxue said, "Here's what we'll do: after the competition tomorrow, I will host a banquet for him in Xue Qinghe's name. After the banquet, I will lead him outside the city and make sure to test his full strength."

No, don't use our people, and don't use the people from the Heavenly Battle Temple either. Spend money to hire professional assassins to do it.

Then, he had "The Queen of Flowers" follow him secretly and rescue him at the crucial moment.

You can arrange the specific timing of the operation yourself. I'll invite him to the banquet after it's confirmed, to avoid him running into Mu Xiyue.

In the blink of an eye, Qian Renxue changed her original plan, turning a simple test into a self-directed and self-acted "hero saves the beauty".

"Overlord Flower", Martial Soul: Ironclad Savage Dragon, an eight-ringed powerful attack type Battle Soul Douluo, a master secretly cultivated by the Spirit Hall, joined the Heaven Dou Empire ten years ago, and is now one of the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Family Guest Elder Group, as well as a bodyguard master of the Empire's Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Qian Renxue: Mu Yang, little brother, look how considerate your brother Qinghe is. He sent a master to secretly protect you and saved you in a moment of crisis. Aren't you extremely moved?

Mu Yang: I'm so touched!

"Yes, young master!"

She Long immediately agreed.

Although he wasn't very smart, he could tell that his young master was planning to take advantage of his kindness to repay a debt.

Yes, She Long was right. Qian Renxue was indeed plotting to take advantage of his kindness.

After all, Mu Yang and the others came from the Elemental Academy, so Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the empire, was not very effective. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be difficult for Mu Yang and the others to be recruited by her.

However, with this "life-saving grace," the situation is quite different.

As you can see, Dugu Bo was once saved by Xue Xing, which is why he accepted the olive branch extended by the royal family and became a guest minister of the royal family.

The reason she didn't use her own subordinates or people from the Heavenly Dou Martial Soul Temple was mainly because she was the young master of the Martial Soul Temple. If this identity were exposed in the future, then this "life-saving grace" would be tainted.
