Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Lin Yang walked into the shop, and before he could even speak, Flander's lazy voice rang out.

"Take whatever you like, no bargaining."

Lin Yang looked around. The shop wasn't very big, and there weren't many items, but everything inside emitted a faint soul power fluctuation, so it was definitely a soul tool.

Lin Yang, like an ordinary customer, looked around and finally spotted a mottled crystal about the size of a human head on a counter in the corner.

"How much is this?"

Lin Yang didn't show any surprise. He pointed to the crystal plate and asked casually.

Flander didn't even open his eyes, casually replying, "Not expensive, two hundred gold soul coins!"

Good grief, so you're just going to tailor your approach to the dish you're served!

When Tang San came, the starting price was 100 gold soul coins; when he came, it was 200.

What, did I steal your rice?

Lin Yang inwardly complained, but outwardly hesitated for a long while before slowly nodding.

"Okay, I'll buy it!"

Two hundred gold soul coins were nothing to him.

Just as Lin Yang was about to take out his money, Flander, unsurprisingly, changed his tune again.

"I'm selling it for 500 gold soul coins now."

Lin Yang froze. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but curse Flander in his heart as a "profiteer".

With your business practices, it's a miracle that this shabby shop can even stay open.

"Boss, this isn't very nice," Lin Yang said calmly, stopping his movement as he was about to take out his money.

"I only have two hundred gold soul coins. If you're willing to part with them, I'll keep them. If not, then I have nothing more to say."

He threw the question back at him.

At this moment, Flander slightly opened his eyelids, a glint of shrewdness flashing beneath his black-rimmed crystal glasses.

"I don't believe that 'Knife Ghost,' who is doing so well in the Great Soul Arena, only has a mere two hundred gold soul coins."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang was startled. Had his disguise been seen through?

No, that's not right!

He changed his form and appearance, and no one would ever associate him with the "Knife Demon".

At this moment, Lin Yang seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.

His cultivation level must have been exposed.

Flander should now be a seventh-ring Soul Saint, as he can sense his own soul power cultivation level.

But his cultivation level was common in Soto City, so he was certain that Flander was bluffing him.

Lin Yang's face was expressionless, only showing a slight hint of doubt as he asked,

"Boss, I've heard about the Knife Demon, but I'm really not him. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Ok?

Flander's expression shifted slightly as he carefully examined Lin Yang. Finding that Lin Yang's expression hadn't changed much, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Could it be that I really misjudged him?

Thinking of this, Flander felt a pang of sadness.

He had once watched Dao Gui and Mei Tu's battle of spirits, and he was certain that the two of them were no more than twelve years old.

Especially the Meitu, which may be even younger.

Judging from their behavior, they are simply monsters among monsters.

This aligns perfectly with Shrek Academy's philosophy of only accepting "monsters".

But these two little rascals are as slippery as eels.

Not only was his identity information completely fake, but he even suspected that his appearance was disguised.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been completely missing after leaving the Great Soul Arena.

The city of Soto has a permanent population of two to three million, and the daily transient population is even more staggering.

Trying to find two people among so many people is like looking for a needle in a haystack; even if he were a Soul Saint, it wouldn't work.

It would be impossible for Flander not to feel frustrated seeing two "rough gems" dangling in front of him, yet unable to take them away.

Flanders, somewhat dejected, asked casually,

"Judging from your age and your relatively high soul power level, would you be interested in joining our Shrek Academy?"

Shrek Academy..

Lin Yang muttered something to himself, then suddenly looked enlightened.

"It's Monster Academy, where Teacher Qin graduated. Could it be that you, boss, are the dean of Shrek Academy—Senior Flander?"

Now it was Flander's turn to be surprised.

"Have you heard of me?"

Lin Yang bowed slightly: "This junior is a Heavenly Supreme level student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I had occasionally heard Teacher Qin mention Shrek Academy before, so I have some impression of it."

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

Could it be that Flander is really going to make a trip to Tiandou City?

"The Teacher Qin you're talking about is Qin Ming, right?"

Seemingly intrigued, Flander's lazy expression lessened somewhat.

"How is he doing in Tian Dou now?"

Lin Yang pondered for a few seconds, then said,

"Teacher Qin is highly regarded at the school. I heard that the dean is asking him to form a team to participate in the next 'Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament'."

Upon hearing this, Flander's lips curled into a slight smile.

"This kid... he's really made something of himself."

These words weren't entirely made up; rather, they were some speculations Lin Yang made based on future events.

Even if it's not entirely correct, it's pretty close to the truth.

Most importantly, this statement cannot be verified.

However, Flander's gaze quickly shifted to Lin Yang.

"With your cultivation level, you should be able to sign up, right?"

"Senior is too kind. My meager cultivation is still far from sufficient."

Flander clicked his tongue. Had he been living in seclusion in Soto City for so many years that he was so out of touch with the world?

A genius of this caliber doesn't even qualify to be selected for a team?

Or is it that the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has become so arrogant due to the abundance of geniuses it produces?

However, he didn't say much, and at the same time completely gave up the idea of ​​recruiting Lin Yang to Shrek Academy.

How can a teacher poach their own students' boyfriends?

Flander comfortably reclined back in his chair, casually waving his hand.

"Since you are Qin Ming's student, you can take that stone for two hundred gold soul coins."

Lin Yang was overjoyed and quickly said,

"Thank you, senior."

After saying that, he left the gold soul coins behind and put the plate crystal into the soul guide bracelet, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he knew a lot of information, which allowed him to get away with it.

Otherwise, obtaining this crystal plate would likely require paying a considerable price.

After leaving the shop, Lin Yang took a deep look behind him, then turned and left.

Although he scoffed at Shrek Academy's educational philosophy, he didn't want to offend a Soul Saint for no reason.

Moreover, Shrek Academy was a "fallback plan" he had already planned.

This escape route wasn't for him, but for Xiao Wu.

If Xiao Wu still cannot master the Transparent World after he reaches level 30, then he will arrange for Xiao Wu to join Shrek Academy.

He didn't abandon Xiao Wu; rather, it was the optimal choice based on rational analysis.

He can't stay here forever.

If you want to improve your cultivation level in the shortest amount of time, immortal herbs are an opportunity you absolutely cannot ignore.

To obtain the immortal herb, one must establish a connection with Dugu Bo.

Of course, he could also rely on the immortality of his Ghost God Body to force his way into Dugu Bo's poison array, but that would undoubtedly offend a Title Douluo to death.

In the end, it might even be all for naught.

This approach is undoubtedly the worst possible strategy.

After all, he didn't have a titled Douluo father to protect him at all times.

So, if you can choose to build good relationships, why choose to be enemies?

The premise is that the two do not have any major conflicts of interest.

Xiao Wu is the key to the potential conflict. Faced with a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone, few people could resist.

Therefore, he will not gamble on an uncertain possibility without absolute certainty.
