Douluo Continent: All the identities I've played have become gods.

Chapter 91 Strategic Cooperation

5:30 p.m.

West gate of Soto.

After waiting for a while, Su Ming and Flander gradually saw Tang San and the others in the sunset.

Tang San and his companions helped each other to Su Ming and Dean Flander.

"Brother Ming, Dean. We did it! We succeeded!" Tang San said breathlessly.

After running the entire "Devil's Trail" with a heavy load.

They all looked as if their bones and muscles had been removed; sweat soaked through their clothes, streaming down their cheeks and necks, and making their hair stick together in clumps.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, each breath accompanied by a dryness and burning sensation in his throat.

Some people helped each other in twos and threes, while others supported themselves with their hands on their knees and leaned forward on their own, as if trying to steady their swaying bodies.

"Indeed, you have seen the dawn of victory."

"Your persistence far exceeded Su Ming's and my expectations. You could say it gave us a huge surprise."

Dean Flander looked at everyone with satisfaction; the little monster's performance this time far exceeded his expectations.

After everyone experienced the power of teamwork and learned to share responsibilities and consider others,

After a brief discussion, Flander and Su Ming changed their original destination to the gates of Soto City.

The seemingly insignificant changes actually greatly reduced the pressure on Tang San and his companions.

After all, there is still a certain distance between entering from the West Gate and arriving at the Soto Grand Arena.

And you also have to consider things like avoiding pedestrians.

"Rest now, everyone. Very good, you've succeeded." Su Ming gave a positive reply at this moment.

"Thump~"

"Thump~"

"Bang!"

After receiving affirmative answers from Dean Flander and Su Ming, Tang San and the others no longer had the strength to continue.

With a heavy feeling of exhaustion, they all collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.

Of these people, only Du Bu Si fared somewhat better, not passing out immediately, but still lying on the ground.

"Dean Flander, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you from now on." Looking at everyone's current state, Su Ming said to Flander.

Flanders nodded with a smile, "Not at all."

Immediately, as if they had planned it beforehand, the two released their soul power.

They lifted all the students and placed them on the carriages that had been hired beforehand.

After all this was done, Flander drove the carriage slowly toward a pharmacy.

The purpose of going to the pharmacy was simple: to take a group of tired students to rest and recuperate.

After such strenuous training, it is essential to take timely measures to alleviate their stress.

Simply subjecting students to grueling training will only break their bodies.

That would be truly misleading and corrupting people.

Flander and Su Ming would never do such a thing.

"I wonder how the little monsters are doing." Looking at the somewhat deserted campus, Zhao Wuji, who was having dinner in the cafeteria, suddenly felt a little out of place.

Compared to before, he now prefers lively atmospheres.

However, out of pride, he never told anyone.

Lu Xin saw through Zhao Wuji's thoughts and said directly:

"It's just a month of training in Soto City, it's not like it's a life-or-death separation. You're a grown man, why are you being so hesitant?"

"you!"

Listening to Lu Xin's 'mockery' and the others' 'laughter', Zhao Wuji retorted, "Are you all used to it?"

This question left everyone present speechless.

The crowd looked at each other, bewildered.

They were immediately speechless.

After a long silence, someone slowly spoke:

"Yes, it's better for the little monsters to stay in the academy."

"It's good to have a lively atmosphere. The youthful energy and vitality make even an old man like me feel full of energy."

"."

Meanwhile, in a pharmacy in Soto.

Where is this place?

As Tang San gradually awoke, he looked up at the wooden ceiling, smelled the medicinal fragrance in the air, and felt a great deal of curiosity.

Looking down, Tang San realized that he was soaking in a tub of medicine.

"Jade skin flower, iron ginseng, red sand flower leaves. Using so many herbs to make a medicinal bath, how much would that cost?"

Tang San was somewhat surprised as he ran his fingers through the water, picking up herbs from the medicinal bath and identifying them one by one.

Just then, a very familiar voice came from beside my ear.

"Third Brother, you're awake. Who knows? I just think it was Ming-ge who arranged it."

"This is another luxury suite, top-notch medicinal bath, and lavish meal. The dean is so stingy, he definitely wouldn't spend this much money."

The person who said this was Ma Hongjun, who was enjoying his meal.

He was wearing a bathrobe at the moment, and he was still gnawing on a large chicken leg in his hand, his mouth full of oil, not caring about his image at all.

"Look at my keen eye! Third Brother, you must be hungry. Here, this is what I got for you."

Remembering something, Ma Hongjun stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands, and then placed a bowl of fruit in the bathtub where Tang San was.

"What is this?" Tang San asked, puzzled.

"When I first woke up, I couldn't move my body very well. It was the drug boss who served me the food."

"Third Brother, have some of this fruit first. Tell me what you want to eat later, and I'll get it for you."

"Thank you very much, Hongjun." After thanking him, Tang San, who was starving, started eating.

A moment later, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Tang San and Ma Hongjun looked up and realized that Oscar had returned.

However, at this moment, Oscar's face was filled with an exaggerated expression.

"Oscar, what news have you found out?" Ma Hongjun quickly stood up and moved closer to Oscar.

Tang San's attention was also drawn to it.

Oscar chuckled and said, "An absolutely mind-blowing discovery. This is something that Boss Dai and I went through a lot of trouble to find out."

"Stop keeping me in suspense, Brother Ao, just tell me already," Ma Hongjun urged.

"It's boring. Talking to you leaves me with absolutely no sense of anticipation. You've completely ruined the atmosphere."

Even so, Oscar also told Ma Hongjun and Tang San the news.

"What! This luxurious pharmacy is owned by Brother Ming!"

"Doesn't this mean we'll be enjoying a life of luxury from now on!"

Upon learning that the pharmacy he worked at was owned by Brother Ming, Ma Hongjun was visibly excited.

They believed that better days were coming.

Unfortunately, Oscar poured cold water on his enthusiasm, saying, "Save your breath. Doesn't Brother Ming's money count for money? Does he think it comes from thin air? The whole process we're going through today is going to cost a fortune."

"That's right, Hongjun. As friends, we shouldn't always be thinking about taking advantage of others," Tang San chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun chuckled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said, "I was just saying it casually. How could I possibly let Brother Ming go to such lengths?"

"Of course. But there's good news too. At least we can get a discount next time we come," Oscar added.

"Yay! Long live Brother Ming!" Ma Hongjun cheered with joy upon hearing the good news.

Then he went to enjoy himself.

And so, everyone spent a peaceful and tranquil evening in the pharmacy.

The next morning, accompanied by a familiar shout.

The group of people, dressed neatly, emerged from their respective medicinal baths and gathered in the hall.

"How was it, everyone? Last night's relaxation therapy went pretty well, didn't it?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Su Ming asked everyone for their opinions.

"The pharmacy is currently in the trial operation phase. If there's anything wrong, please point it out promptly, and we will definitely rectify it as soon as possible."

Dai Mubai said, "Brother Ming, your pharmacy is amazing! In less than one night, everyone's back to normal. I'll definitely come here often from now on."

That's true, it's such a suitable place to send and recover after training.

For Soul Masters, what does it matter if it's a little more expensive? As long as it's worth it!

"Yes, Brother Ming. I'll definitely come and support you often."

"This pharmacy experience is pretty good. I'll top up 5,000 gold soul coins first and keep them on hand."

"."

Seeing the crowd getting more and more excited as they spoke, Flander interrupted them and announced:

"How you play and rest afterwards is something you should consider after you complete the second phase of special training."

"Now, I will announce the content of the second phase of special training - the requirements for participating in the Soul Arena."

Su Ming picked up the conversation, held up two fingers, and said, "There are only two requirements."

"First, win the Soul Battle and get enough prize money. Finally, gather 3000 Gold Soul Coins to pay off the academy's debts. The luxurious all-inclusive service you enjoyed this time wasn't free. The bill is already out, detailed down to every single penny."

"Wow, did we spend that much last night?" Ma Hongjun exclaimed in surprise.

If I had known it was going to cost money, I should have eaten more last night to try and get my money's worth.

"No problem." Dai Mubai laughed heartily. He never had much to worry about when it came to money.

"No problem." Poison Undying nodded in agreement.

Tang San said, "We can afford this amount of money. How can we let Brother Ming continue to spend so much?"

When this was mentioned, Su Ming specifically looked at Ning Rongrong and added:

"The gold soul coins used to pay off debts can only be obtained by participating in the Soul Battle Arena."

So some of you shouldn't get any other ideas or think you can slack off.

"Hehe." Ning Rongrong appeared calm on the surface, but she was still a little disappointed inside.

After all, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem for her.

But Su Ming had taken this into account and blocked this way out, leaving no room for maneuver.

After making the necessary additions, Su Ming immediately announced his second request.

"Second, that is, you need to obtain a Silver-level Soul Badge in the Soto Grand Arena."

This is exactly the same as your graduation requirements; if you don't meet it, there's absolutely no chance of graduating.

After speaking, Su Ming gave everyone his advice.

"If you want to accumulate points quickly, you must complete all the Soul Battles every day, and you can't waste any. Except for Rongrong and Xiao Ao, who are support-type Soul Masters, everyone else must complete all the battles."

Only in this way can you get more points and advance earlier.

"Furthermore, if you encounter a truly powerful enemy, I will allow you to use the special techniques you learned during the first stage of special training in the Battle Spirit."

"How's it going? Does everyone have confidence?" After stating his two objectives, Su Ming loudly asked the crowd.

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

After more than a month of transformation, they are no longer the same people they used to be.

They are full of confidence in their abilities for the upcoming second phase of intensive training.

Similarly, they are also very much looking forward to using their newly mastered soul skills in the battle.

It will absolutely surprise outsiders!

"Oh, right, don't get excited yet. I have some good news I haven't told you yet."

Looking at the confident crowd, Su Ming said with a smile.

"Uh," everyone suddenly didn't know what to say.

Having become familiar with Su Ming's personality, they were bound to develop a certain immunity to any surprising good news from him.

After all, sometimes the good news that Su Ming tells them is different from what they understand.

It's best not to get your hopes up too early, lest you be disappointed.

"Cough cough cough."

"Don't worry, I can vouch for it, it's really good news. I'm not kidding you."

Flander coughed a few times to draw everyone's attention and then stepped forward to testify for Su Ming.

Perhaps having suffered too many losses, Ma Hongjun grumbled, "Who knows if the two of you teamed up to amuse us?"

"oops!"

Ma Hongjun crouched down, covering his head; Flander had punched him so hard that he had a big bump on his head.

"I don't have time to joke with a little brat like you," Flander said bluntly.

"Brother Ming, what's the good news?" Tang San steered the conversation back on track.

Amidst the expectant yet apprehensive gazes of the crowd, Su Ming slowly spoke:

"Our Shrek Academy has successfully established a strategic partnership with the Soto City Grand Arena."

"The Soto Arena has decided to promote our Shrek Academy team as the local flagship team."

It can be described as a perfect collaboration, a powerful combination, and the returns for everyone involved are quite substantial.

"And if the performance is good enough, it might even be reported to headquarters."

Then, after going through rounds of competition, they became the representative team of the entire Soul Arena system.

"By then, you won't just be famous throughout the entire continent; you'll be counting money until your hands cramp."

"Really? Brother Ming?"

"Doesn't that mean Shrek Academy is going to become famous?"

"Don't get too excited yet, Fatty. Putting aside the follow-up, just securing the Soto City endorsement deal right now puts a lot of pressure on us."

Not to mention the continent-wide competition that followed; it's sure to be full of hidden talents then.

"Yes, Mu Bai is right. The whole continent is still too far away for us. Let's focus on the present and take it one step at a time."
