Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

"have you eaten?"

"How did you know my fourth spirit ring was a ten-thousand-year spirit ring? How did you know I also obtained an external spirit bone?"

That feeling of being on top of the world is probably like this. If he didn't understand the principle that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it, Chen Luo would really want to tell everyone he meets about his good luck.

Chen Luo originally wanted to tell Tang San about obtaining an external soul bone, but seeing that Tang San's mental capacity was limited, he decided to tell him later.

Tang San had already spent a lot of time explaining Luo Sanpao's transformation. If he were to acquire an external soul bone as well, Tang San would probably have to stay here for dinner.

While Luo Sanpao's changes were certainly influenced by his spirit rings, the most crucial factor was that Luo Sanpao himself had evolved.

Originally a B+ grade, Luo Sanpao has been upgraded to A grade after Chen Luo successfully absorbed the Thunder Lizard's soul ring.

Chen Luo rolled up his left sleeve, slightly activated his soul power, and his arm was instantly covered with black scales. With just a thought, the black scales immediately emitted a purple light, crackling with electricity, ready to unleash a powerful attack at any moment.

Chen Luo stopped activating the Thunder Scales, and everything returned to calm. The scales turned black again and gradually disappeared.

It's enough to just admire it; if he doesn't control it properly, he'll have to move.

"External soul bones are always quite special. External soul bones like the Eight Spider Lances seem to be easier for people to accept. This Thunderscale gives people a strange feeling."

"Who cares? It's already pretty good to get an external soul bone. Besides, the Thunder Scale is quite strong. It can consume soul power to release purple lightning for attacks. It is also very sturdy and can be considered a defensive piece of equipment."

"I thought the lucky dice were just a joke, but I never expected them to actually bring me good luck!"

A subtle smile curved Chen Luo's lips, as if the smile was etched onto his face.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Chen Luo's personal panel appeared before his eyes—

Host: Chen Luo.

Current identity: Yu Xiaogang.

Martial Soul: Golden Luo Three Cannons.

Martial Soul Level: A-level.

Soul Power Level: Level 43.

Soul Ring Combinations: 100 Years, ...,000 Years.

Soul Bone: Thunder Scale (External Soul Bone).

Disciple: Tang San (S-rank).

"As my strength increases, this character panel is gradually becoming more pleasing to the eye."

"As expected, Three Cannon has completed its evolution and its martial soul level has reached A-level. But why is it still called Golden Luo Three Cannon? Why didn't it change to a more impressive name?"

"My current soul power level has reached level 43, but this seems to be the basic operation, after all, I did challenge the limit to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring."

"Level 43... I estimate I'll be able to reach level 45 before Tang San graduates from Notting Academy."

With a thought, Chen Luo's personal panel instantly transformed into a mission panel—

[Rank A Mission: Own an academy.]

[Task Content: To become an excellent teacher, you must possess outstanding strength. Improve your strength and reach Soul Power level 45! Furthermore, to create a better learning environment for your disciples, own a Soul Master Academy!]

[Task Rewards: Determined based on task completion rate.]

[Note: This task involves no danger; all that's required is hard work and diligence. The timeframe is five years!]

"I made another fortune selling the Thunder Lizard skin. Now I have nearly 100,000 gold soul coins. I should be able to treat my old friend to a small gift and buy an academy without much trouble, right?"

"This crappy mission, and you call it A-rank?"

Chen Luo was full of confidence in the current task, and even felt that it was too easy, so he couldn't help but mock it.

Chapter 21 Leaving Nottingham

Nottingham, West Tavern.

The moonlight, like a veil, fell on the table, adding to the tranquility and making the sake in the glass appear even more crystal clear.

"Are we leaving tomorrow?"

Xu Yuanjia took a sip of sake, her gaze towards Chen Luo filled with a hint of reluctance.

Chen Luo nodded: "Yes, we need to get there as soon as possible and arrange everything first."

Xu Yuanjia laughed and said, "You really spare no effort for your disciple."

Chen Luo smiled slightly: "It's also for my own sake. After being so decadent for so many years, it's time to go out and see the world again."

"That's how it should be; change is a good thing."

Xu Yuanjia said, "I had long guessed that this day would come, but it came a little later than I expected."

Chen Luo said, "It's not too late, is it?"

"The barbecue is here! Please enjoy, gentlemen!"

The waiter carefully placed a large plate of sliced ​​roasted meat on the table, his face full of enthusiastic smiles.

Why does the barbecue seem to come in such large portions today?

Chen Luo picked up a piece of steaming hot roasted meat and put it in his mouth. The aroma of the meat mixed with the fragrance of various seasonings instantly spread, making people unconsciously chew faster. Then he picked up another piece of roasted meat and put it in his mouth.

Xu Yuanjia said, "Of course, it's more money."

"No wonder. I thought the shop owner had discovered your identity as the dean, which is why he gave us special treatment." Chen Luo swallowed the grilled meat, then took a big gulp of sake, eating with great relish.

Xu Yuanjia said, "Then you underestimate me too much. Is my status as the dean only worth this little bit of roasted meat? It should at least be served in a basin!"

"Hahaha, absolutely!"

"Come on, drink!"

Chen Luo finished his cup of sake, poured himself another cup, and filled Xu Yuanjia's cup as well: "I've been eating for free at your place, so this meal is on me today!"

"That won't do..."

"Alright, then please go ahead."

Xu Yuanjia: "..."

……

late at night.

Chen Luo returned to his residence, still relatively sober, though he smelled strongly of alcohol.

After taking a shower, Chen Luo lay in bed, feeling a sense of loss and unable to fall asleep.

"Six years have passed since I came to this world without realizing it. I've been living the same repetitive life almost every day. I've always hoped to become strong enough to leave Notting City as soon as possible. But now that it's time to leave, I suddenly feel reluctant to go..."

"Even if I'm reluctant, I still have to go. My soul power level has reached level 45, and Tang San is about to graduate from Notting Academy. I need to go to a bigger city to develop my career."

"The higher the level of soul power, the harder it is to improve. After obtaining the fourth soul ring, I have worked hard enough in the past three years, but I have only improved by two levels. If I want to improve my strength quickly, I still have to follow the system."

"My soul power level has already met the requirements. I just need to get one more academy on my side. That should be relatively easy to do..."

The next morning.

Chen Luo woke up very early and had already tidied the room very cleanly and neatly.

After storing his belongings in the Divine Dragon Space, leaving most of his books on the bookshelf, Chen Luo took one last look at the room before leaving.

Upon arriving at the academy's academic affairs office, Chen Luo handed over the room key and a bag of gold soul coins to Director Su.

"What's going on?" Director Su asked, somewhat puzzled.

Chen Luo said, "I'm leaving now. Here's the key back. These three hundred gold soul coins are my donation to the academy."

Director Su was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Have a safe journey."

After Chen Luo left, the Academic Affairs Office was immediately thrown into an uproar.

"Where would a freeloader like him get so much money?"

"You'd better keep your voice down. I heard that the master has successfully broken through level 30 and has already obtained his third spirit ring."

"That's impossible, it must be a rumor. They haven't been able to break through for so many years, how could they possibly still have a chance? Isn't that nonsense?"

"That makes sense, I also think it sounds a bit fake."

"Are you blind? Or are you unwilling to admit the truth? He has been exercising every day for the past few years, it's like he's practicing cultivation every day. His entire demeanor and temperament have undergone earth-shattering changes, can't you see that at all?"

"Enough, stop arguing!"

Director Su spoke in a low voice, and the Academic Affairs Office immediately fell silent.

Looking at the teachers, Director Su's expression turned somewhat grim, and he slowly said, "Being a good-for-nothing isn't scary; what's scary is being unwilling to admit that you're a good-for-nothing, and even more unwilling to acknowledge the efforts and strength of others."

"He is a joke in your eyes, but little do you know that you are a joke in his eyes as well."

"As teachers, the most important thing is character and morality. Fortunately, you did not infect those children on whom we place our hopes, with your own dirty souls. Otherwise, you would not have needed to stay in this academy."

"Never forget why you came here!"

……

After leaving the academic affairs office, Chen Luo took a stroll around the academy, went to the playground, the cafeteria, and finally arrived at the place where Tang San was cultivating.

Looking at the small wooden house, Chen Luo paused for a moment before leaving the academy.

Walking on the streets of Nottingham, Chen Luo looked at the familiar things and came to the tavern where he had barbecue the night before. He bought two jugs of wine and a serving of barbecue, but paid thirty gold soul coins.

The shop owner was shocked: "Sir, you've given me way too much!"

Chen Luo calmly said, "Do you remember the person who came to eat barbecue with me yesterday?"

The shop owner nodded: "Of course I remember, he's a regular customer of ours."

Chen Luo said, "The remaining money..."

The shop owner immediately smiled and said, "I understand!"

"You need to increase the portion size at every meal, understand?"

"Don't worry, sir/madam, we'll definitely increase the quantity!"

"Is there enough money?"

"That's enough, absolutely enough! As long as my shop is still here, he can keep eating here!"
