In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 149 Dragon King's Palace and Hidden Dragon Academy (Part 3)

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"He made the same mistake that many novice deans make? And you're saying we ruined his future? That guy Flander has put all his shrewd business acumen into education, like the academy, directly ruining the futures of countless young people. He seems to be specifically targeting talented Soul Masters. You're going to argue with us over someone like that? But if it weren't for us, who would appear, when would they appear, and who would have the power to seek justice for the young Soul Masters who have been harmed by Shilake Academy for the past twelve years?"

"this……"

As if intimidated by Qian Renxue's imposing aura, Liu Erlong couldn't help but take a half step back.

"Let's talk about something else."

Wang Zhao then waved his hand and said.

"In the world of Soul Masters, strength is paramount. You are in the wrong and lack the strength to argue unreasonably. Since you can neither beat them nor win an argument, if you continue to waste your breath, I will ask you to leave."

Liu Erlong opened her mouth, but ultimately thought to herself: Boss Fu, I'm sorry, I'm not capable of getting you an explanation, so I'll have to trouble you...

"I understand. The second thing is, Grand Tutor Wang, I would like to ask you for advice on the cultivation methods or insights of the Separated Beast Martial Soul. Of course, I am willing to pay the price for this."

"For Yu Xiaogang?"

Wang Zhao smiled and asked.

"How did you know?!"

Liu Erlong was startled.

"It's a guess, and not hard to guess, after all, I've heard of the Golden Triangle."

"besides……"

Wang Zhao's expression held a hint of wickedness.

"I also heard that you and he are cousins, Sister Liu, tsk tsk."

"What a deep bond between siblings!"

"Shut up!"

Almost instantly, Liu Erlong exploded upon hearing the sensitive term "brother and sister." Her hair flew up, and the phantom of her Crimson Dragon Martial Soul appeared and disappeared behind her, as if she was about to reveal her Soul Ring and enter the Martial Soul Possession state at any moment.

"Shut up?"

Wang Zhao propped his head up with his hand, seemingly unconcerned about Liu Erlong's current soul power level of only 69, and said leisurely.

"What, did I say something wrong? Or is it that you and your cousin really have an incestuous relationship, as the rumors say?"

My cousin... has violated human ethics...

These blows, one after another, struck Liu Erlong's heart directly, and were devastating blows at that.

"call……"

Liu Erlong slowly exhaled, forcing herself to calm down and dissipate the aura of her martial spirit before continuing:

"Never mind all that. I just want to ask if you can offer me a condition to obtain the cultivation method or insights for a separated-body beast martial soul?"

"Since you need my help, is this your attitude?"

"...Grand Tutor Wang, may I ask if you would be willing to make a deal with me? I will do you a favor, and in return, you will give me the cultivation methods or insights into the Body-Shaped Beast Martial Soul?"

Liu Erlong bent down slightly and spoke in a low voice, adopting a humble posture.

"Hmm... I'll have to think about that carefully."

Wang Zhao then adopted a thoughtful expression.

Seeing that he seemed somewhat interested, Liu Erlong thought she should strike while the iron was hot and continued:

"Grand Tutor Wang, think about it. Xiao Gang is not only a rare Soul Master with a Separated Beast Martial Soul like you, but also an invincible master in the theoretical knowledge of Martial Souls. If you help him cultivate a Separated Beast Martial Soul now, he will be willing to guide you when he develops more advanced theories in the future."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao seemed to have a huge question mark appear on his forehead, while Qian Renxue next to him could no longer hold back her laughter.

"Hahahaha..."

"What are you laughing at?"

Liu Erlong couldn't help but look at Qian Renxue, and asked with a somewhat displeased expression.

"What am I laughing at?"

Qian Renxue gave a cold laugh.

"I laugh. What right does a so-called theoretical master who plagiarized and stole knowledge, a scoundrel who is utterly incompetent and harmful, have to talk about researching more sophisticated theories, let alone instruct Xiao Zhao?"

It turns out that ever since the night Wang Zhao left with Dugu Bo a month ago, Qian Renxue had curiously read Yu Xiaogang's "works." Afterwards, she was utterly shocked by what she found...

A large part, or even almost all of it, is knowledge already contained in the books in the Wuhun City Library!

Yu Xiaogang merely organized and summarized these materials before releasing them privately and under his own name, thus earning the title of "Master." What's even more disgusting is that much of the knowledge he released was actually inaccurate, causing many young Soul Masters on the continent to suffer damage to their foundations or even die tragically due to blindly following his advice. Now that I think about it, if it weren't for his adoptive mother, Bibi Dong, showing some consideration for their past relationship, that so-called great master Yu Xiaogang would have been dead many times over.

"How dare you slander Xiaogang's innocence out of thin air?!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's eyes widened, and he looked furious.

"Heh, whether I've slandered his innocence or not, why don't you just ask him yourself? Anyway, I know you definitely won't believe me based on what I've said, so as far as I know, he's actually a little afraid to face you right now. If you ask him yourself, maybe he'll suddenly tell you the truth."

"I……"

Seeing Qian Renxue's expression that said, "I don't want to argue with you, believe it or not," Liu Erlong opened his mouth, remained silent for a while, and finally spoke:

"I trust Xiaogang's character and will definitely go find him to get to the bottom of things later. But right now, I just want to know if you, Grand Tutor Wang, are willing to make this deal with me. If not, I'll leave immediately."

"Why not do it?"

Wang Zhao's lips curled up slightly.

"However, my cultivation experience with the separated beast martial soul is not something that can be easily recorded in a book. If you really want to learn, Sister Liu, you will probably need to stay by my side often so that I can personally teach you."

"you mean?"

"You should know that my Ancient Dragon Clan is planning to build up its power recently. In order to strengthen its foundation, it is inevitable to establish an advanced Soul Master Academy. Sister Liu, you originally wanted to establish an academy for commoners, but you had no other background and had to accept the support of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to establish Blue Tyrant, which is like a branch of Thunder Academy... How about this, Sister Liu, why don't you join my Ancient Dragon Clan? From now on, you will no longer need to rely on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and I can directly appoint you to a high-level position in the new advanced Soul Master Academy."

Wang Zhao's plan was revealed when the dagger was unfurled.

"You... you actually want me as a person?!"

Liu Erlong was clearly taken aback by Wang Zhao's words, and involuntarily took a half step back, his mind instantly in a state of confusion.

Wang Zhao then slowly stood up, approached her with a smile, and whispered in her ear:

"Come to my side, and I'll teach you how to cultivate a beast-type martial spirit. After all, you wouldn't want..."
