The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 198 Blacklist

Seeing that Tang San didn't understand, the receptionist smiled and explained to him: "This blacklist was jointly established by the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for Xunyang Tower. It was to prevent powerful spirit masters from indiscriminately killing spirit beasts for money, which would lead to a sharp decline in the number of spirit beasts."

But after many evolutions, it has now become a rule.

Any Soul Master who is blacklisted will not only be refused service by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses, but the Spirit Hall's stipends will also be suspended. Of course, this is currently only limited to the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, don't think it's a big deal. I heard that the Heaven Dou Empire will soon get involved in further restricting Soul Masters on the blacklist. They say that not only will basic social services be restricted for these people, but those with serious offenses will also go to jail.

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. This world is still dominated by humans, and such blacklists can be removed. However, I don't know the specific details. I only know that there is a labor dispatch task on it."

"Rules jointly formulated by the three parties," Tang San murmured to himself after hearing this.

He never expected that the cooperation between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would reach this point in just a few years, and now the Body Heaven Dou Empire is also being added. This is really not good news for him and his father.

No, I need to find out exactly what the feud between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall is.

Over the past few years, people around him had mentioned this matter to him more than once, but when it came to the specific reasons, they would hesitate and only say that his cultivation level was still too low and it wasn't the right time yet. Even his mother's information was only told to him by his father this time after seeing that he had made some progress.

But the situation is becoming increasingly dire, and I must have all the information to deal with any unforeseen events that may follow.

"Sir, are you listening?" The receptionist asked cautiously when she saw Tang San standing there, stunned.

"I understand. I won't kill soul beasts indiscriminately anymore." Tang San came to his senses and nodded to the front desk.

"That's good." The receptionist smiled, then pointed to the remaining soul beasts on the ground: "We won't keep these; you can take them back as ingredients."

Tang San nodded, then collected the remaining soul beasts and walked out of the recycling area.

"It seems the only option left is the black market." Tang San glanced at the location and then headed towards the place where he had previously hired the Soul Hunter team.

But before he had gone a short distance, Tang San sensed that someone was following him.

"So that's why they let me take the remaining soul beasts. They were waiting for me here." Tang San sneered, then used Ghost Shadow Stalking to disappear in an instant.

"The target has been detected, and their swift escape suggests they have access to a special sales channel."

"The soul beasts have already been marked. I will list the remaining soul beasts in his possession as key monitoring targets in a short time."

Shrek Academy in Tiandou City.

It was noon, and the trainees were lining up in the cafeteria to wait for lunch.

"Does anyone know what we're having for dinner today?" one of the students asked curiously.

"What else could it be? Cabbage, potatoes, and radishes!" someone wailed. "Damn it, where did all my tuition money go? Is this what I get to eat every day?"

"I heard that Master Xiaogang was arrested recently, and the dean paid to bail him out," a student said quietly, looking around.

"What kind of bullshit master is this? He doesn't teach me how to cultivate and he even uses the tuition I paid! Bah!" A male student immediately protested, not caring where he was, and yelled.

This startled those around them, who quickly moved away, saying, "Brother, don't drag us into your madness! With the dean and the master's relationship, they'll probably expel you!"

Although the male student was also scared, he felt embarrassed to back down with so many other students watching, so he continued, "Fine, I'll drop out, but I need to get my tuition back!"

"You want a refund? If you don't want to study here, you can get out now!"

Just as the trainees were admiring the male trainee's courage, Ma Hongjun, Yu Feng, and Tai Long walked over from behind.

"Why shouldn't I get my tuition refunded? Did I come here to study just to eat cabbage and radishes?"

The male trainee shuddered when he saw Ma Hongjun. He looked around, wanting to find someone to help him, but found that his classmates acted as if they didn't recognize him.

"If you want something better to eat, you can go out and buy it yourself. Don't you also receive a subsidy from the Spirit Hall?" Ma Hongjun said with a disdainful smile and a cold look in his eyes. He clenched his fist. "But you dared to insult my teacher and Grandmaster. I think you're asking for a beating."

"Am I not telling the truth? Since Dean Liu Erlong handed the academy over to Flanders, how much has our student standard of living dropped? And what has this so-called master you speak of actually taught us?"

As the male student backed away, he said, "Why do you elite students get special treatment while we ordinary students have to pay for our own food? If my family could afford it, would I still be in this garbage academy?"

"It's not that the master doesn't want to teach you anything, but with your talent, you're not qualified to be taught by the master!" Ma Hongjun sneered, then suddenly launched a flying kick at the male student.

The male trainee was shocked and quickly bent his arm to defend, but the two sides were far apart in strength. Ma Hongjun kicked him six or seven meters away with just one kick.

"You think you can get a master to teach you with this kind of skill? Consider this a lesson for you. Now you can get lost." Seeing the male student's disheveled appearance, Ma Hongjun shook his neck and laughed loudly.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Upon hearing this, Yu Feng and Tai Long exchanged a glance and then burst out laughing.

After this incident, the trainees present became much more obedient, all keeping their heads down and trying not to make eye contact with Ma Hongjun.

Since his injury during the preliminaries, Ma Hongjun's brutality has become notorious at Shrek Academy. He will challenge any student who slightly offends him to a duel, regardless of whether the student accepts or not.

How could ordinary students in these academies be a match for Ma Hongjun? After several people were injured by him, everyone would avoid him whenever they saw him.

This male student was really unlucky. In the past, elite students like Ma Hongjun would never come to the cafeteria to eat, but today he was caught by Ma Hongjun just for complaining a few times.

Ma Hongjun glanced at the cautious students around him with a half-smile, feeling inexplicably pleased.

Since he could no longer vent his anger at brothels, ice blocks and the bottom of the lake were among the few ways he could release it.

"What's for lunch today?" Ma Hongjun asked as he approached the food counter.

"Stewed cabbage, potato slices, and radish soup," a woman at the food counter casually ordered. But when she saw that the person was Ma Hongjun, she quickly changed her tone: "But I also have two dishes from the Dean's menu, would you like them?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. He had originally just wanted to eat something light today, but he hadn't expected this unexpected bonus: "Sure, I can try it for you first, teacher."

A moment later, the eldest sister brought the dishes from the kitchen with a smile and placed them in front of Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun took a closer look and saw three small bowls of fish soup that had been stewed until they were milky white with a golden hue. He immediately felt a strong urge to eat.
