Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 18 is too small; its scope is still too narrow!

It is often said that money is an external thing, and there is some truth to that.

However, for Blazing Fire Academy, gold soul coins are indispensable. They are essential for the maintenance of the simulated training ground, the salaries of the academy's teachers, the wear and tear of the Soul Fighting Training Ground, and so on. No dean of any Soul Master Academy would complain that their academy has too much teaching funding.

Furthermore, if Blazing Fire Academy possesses a large quantity of whale glue, while other academies have little of it, using whale glue as a reward for outstanding students will undoubtedly attract more talented students to enroll in Blazing Fire Academy, thereby enhancing the academy's overall strength.

Well, if you don't want to be the dean of the strongest academy on the continent, then you're not a good dean.

"This treasure is whale glue."

Huo Lie stopped hiding her answer and gave the answer directly.

"Whale glue?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruhuo, Chi Chengyan, and Yan Zhenming all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.

Having all eaten meat, the three were no novice and naturally knew what whale glue was.

But isn't whale glue just for entertainment? How come its value is no less than that of ordinary soul bones?

"At first I didn't expect it either. You've all met my nephew Mu Yang. He always looks very weak, so Xi Yue and I discussed buying him some whale gelatin to help him recover."

Unexpectedly, after taking it for about ten days, the kid told us that his physical fitness had improved.

With a skeptical attitude, I had Wushuang and Xiaowu try taking it for a few more days, and it turned out to be true; their physical condition improved significantly.

This improvement might not be very noticeable for high-level Soul Masters, but it is definitely quite significant for low-level Soul Masters.

Imagine if the outside world knew that whale glue could grant Soul Masters a first Soul Ring that was five or six hundred years old, a second Soul Ring that was a thousand years old, a third Soul Ring that was three or four thousand years old, and a fourth Soul Ring that was eight or nine thousand years old. How popular would this stuff be among Soul Masters? And how high would the price skyrocket?

Moreover, even without considering the possibility of making huge profits by buying low and selling high, if the academy keeps the academy's resources for its own use as a reward for outstanding students, then in the future, when talented soul masters on the continent choose a soul master academy, they will definitely give priority to our Blazing Fire Academy.

After the effects of whale glue were verified, even Huo Lie, the dean of Blazing Fire Academy, who was highly knowledgeable, was taken aback.

For an individual, aside from not having a soul bone skill, the whale glue is almost as good as an ordinary soul bone.

As for the price of soul bones, well, those in the know understand. Even the most useless hundred-year soul bone is not something whale glue can compete with.

Although most Soul Masters who are lucky enough to obtain Soul Bones, apart from those who specialize in hunting Souls, generally do not choose to sell them for money.

However, few Soul Masters on the mainland would spend money to buy Soul Bones, unless they were really rich and had so many Gold Soul Coins that they didn't know what to do with them.

"Brother Lie, whale glue can only be made from the bodies of whales, sea spirit beasts. It's scarce on the market and quite popular among nobles. If we were to buy it in large quantities, we might not make much money. How about we do it both ways?"

After a while, having digested the news that taking whale gelatin could improve a Soul Master's physical fitness, Yan Ruhuo came to her senses and said to Huo Lie.

"Like Fire, do you mean our academy's top experts are going to the ocean to hunt whale-like sea spirit beasts?"

Touching his chin, Chi Chengyan said.

Before Yan Ruhuo could answer, Yan Zhenming shook his head: "That's not a good idea. Our academy is full of fire-type soul masters. If we go to the sea to hunt souls, our strength will be greatly reduced. In addition, sea soul beasts have the advantage of the sea. A fire-type six-ring soul emperor will most likely be no match for a sea soul beast that has just entered the ten-thousand-year stage."

Moreover, most whale-like sea creatures are not to be trifled with. Going alone would be inefficient and risky.

At this moment, a glint of excitement flashed in Yan Ruhuo's eyes, and he said, "I didn't say we should act on our own. Let's bring Tianshui Academy with us! Water and ice elemental soul masters are much more suitable for hunting souls in the sea than us fire-wielding types."

Moreover, in recent years, the Spirit Hall has become increasingly powerful, even forcing the Clear Sky Sect to close its doors and go into seclusion. I think this continent will be in chaos sooner or later.

Xi Yue, isn't your nephew born with full soul power and twin martial souls? He's destined to be one of the few strong people on the continent. I think we should just swallow up Tianshui Academy!

"When the two academies merge, if things really get chaotic on the mainland, it will deter others from making any rash moves. And I've already thought of a name: Ice and Fire Academy!"

The four members of Huo Lie: "."

This woman has a huge appetite!

It has to be said that Yan Ruhuo's idea almost made Huo Lie and the other three people's jaws drop.

His vision is too narrow!

Huo Lie felt that compared to Yan Ru Huo, his vision as the dean was still too narrow.

He had only thought about getting the academy to stock up on goods together, or maybe make a quick buck, but he never expected that Yan Ruhuo would start thinking about merging with Tianshui Academy, which was also an elemental academy.

However, Huo Lie admitted that he was tempted.

As I said before, if you don't aspire to be the dean of the strongest academy on the continent, then you're not a good dean.

"Ahem~, let's put this Ice and Fire Academy matter aside for now and talk about it later."

Returning to the matter of whale glue, on the one hand, we secretly sent people to purchase whale glue on the market, and on the other hand, we posted bounties in coastal cities for the recovery of whale-like sea spirit beast carcasses, so that those sea spirit masters could help us hunt them.

After all, the sea is dangerous, and no one wants to see something go wrong.

Clearing his throat, Huo Lie set the tone.

Gold Soul Coins are merely external possessions. Huo Lie wouldn't want his academy's experts to risk their lives for something that could be done with Gold Soul Coins.

In any case, the Blazing Fire Academy's goal is simply to obtain whale glue; how the whale glue came to be is not important.

Moreover, Huo Lie admitted that as a fire-type soul master, he had an inexplicable fear of the sea.

But this cannot be blamed on him. Countless lessons in history have taught future generations of Soul Masters that the vast ocean is a forbidden zone for land-based Soul Masters, especially for fire-type Soul Masters who do not have the ability to fly.

For example, if his opponent is an ordinary land-based spirit beast that is less than 80,000 years old, he can defeat it by himself.

However, if it were a sea spirit beast, and the battlefield were located in the ocean, it would be uncertain whether he could defeat a 50,000-year-old sea spirit beast.

It is precisely because the sea spirit beasts, which occupy the geographical advantage of the sea, are somewhat overpowered compared to land spirit beasts that, despite the large number of 100,000-year-old sea spirit beasts in the vast ocean, no level 90 quasi-title Douluo on the continent dares to target them.

Without the strength of a level 97 Title Douluo or above, anyone who dares to try and obtain a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast's spirit ring and spirit bone is simply throwing their life away.
