Chapter 177 Tiger and Longbow (two chapters in one)

After searching for a period of time with no results, Oscar returned to the meeting point agreed with Dai Mubai and others.

After all, the scope of a city is too large. It is normal to not be able to find the target during the first search.

At this time, the other four people, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, also returned here.

"It seems like there's nothing gained from them all." Oscar muttered immediately.

"How can it be so easy to find someone? There are hundreds of thousands of people in Xiver City (this is calculated based on the standards of ancient large cities. Considering the specialness of Douluo Continent, even a small city like Xiver City has (Based on the population standards of ancient big cities), if you can find it at once, you will be really lucky." Dai Mubai shook his head and said.

"Then let's eat something to replenish our strength first." Oscar said with a smile.

Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing who was standing aside with a nonchalant look, and nodded immediately, "Okay, today is the first time you have officially joined our college, so I'll treat you."

"Boss Dai, you are so generous today." Oscar said in surprise.

Dai Mubai suddenly glared evilly, "It's like I'm not nice to you in normal times. Isn't it good to eat honestly?"

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing said with a cold face, "No, I'll pay the bill myself."

Then she took the lead and walked into the restaurant in front.

Dai Mubai was quite helpless when he saw this.

But he wouldn't stop treating Zhu Zhuqing just because he didn't buy it.

He said to Tang San and Xiao Wu, "Tang Yin, Xiao Wu, let's go in and have lunch together first."

Randomly, a group of people walked into the restaurant together.

After entering the restaurant, Tang San found Zhu Zhu sitting at a table early in the morning.

Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing are roommates now. After getting along with each other for a night, the two girls are getting closer. She immediately came to Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, let's sit together."

After all, Zhu Zhuqing only seemed to be a little more deserted on the surface, but he did not reject Xiao Wu's suggestion after all.

Dai Mubai immediately took advantage of the opportunity and came to the table as well, but he didn't push himself too far. He just sat opposite Zhu Zhuqing instead of sitting next to her.

"Dear guests! What do you want to order?" the waiter came up and asked with the menu.

"That's it... these and these." Dai Mubai generously ordered several expensive dishes and then sent the waiter away.

"Everyone is tired today. It will probably take a long time to find a girl, so there is no need to be polite to me." After the food was served, Dai Mubai greeted boldly.

Xiao Wu immediately frowned and said, "By the way, didn't Ma Hongjun do something wrong in this matter? Why are we still making trouble for that girl?"

After all, she still had some conscience in her heart, and knew that Ma Hongjun was wrong in this matter, and Shrek Academy had no reason to blame.

In other words, if Ma Hongjun harassed her, she would probably directly kill Ma Hongjun with an eight-level throw and throw him to paralysis.

So, overall, she felt it was quite inappropriate.

"We're not going to forcefully bully that girl, I don't hit women." Dai Mubai glared, "But we at Shrek Academy have been bullied, and we just have to find our place, and... it's just right for her to watch. Considering the strength of our Shrek Academy, it would be a good thing to invite her to join our academy when the time comes."

"If Ma Hongjun is here, will she join?" Xiao Wu said with disgust.

"Didn't you tell me? Fatty also has his own reasons, and he never forces himself on girls. But this time... maybe he really met a girl he likes, so he got a little anxious. This is not understandable. "?" Dai Mubai secretly said with a different concept.

"And is our college bad?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's eat and eat!" Oscar said quickly from the side.

"Xiao Wu, let's eat first and then talk." Tang San immediately said with a smile.

Immediately, everyone in Shrek Academy began to solve the problem of food and clothing.

After a big meal, Tang San said to Dai Mubai: "Mubai, we are all new here. Please tell us the rules and courses in the academy."

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing stood up and said coldly, "I'm full."

Then she turned and left.

Dai Mubai stretched out his hand and hesitated to speak, but in the end he did not stop her.

Oscar looked at Dai Mubai in disbelief and whispered, "Boss Dai, don't you claim to be unstoppable among women and the killer of girls? Why doesn't this beautiful new girl even want to take a second look at you?" "

Dai Mubai smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not explain.

Dai Mubai reluctantly turned his mind away from Zhu Zhuqing and said: "The academy has no special rules. To put it simply, you are not allowed to burn sand and loot, but fighting and gambling are encouraged."

A smile appeared on Tang San's face, Shrek Academy's teaching methods were indeed different from ordinary academies.

Dai Mubai explained: "Teachers believe that fighting is the best shortcut to master one's martial arts, and it is extremely important to enhance actual combat experience. Gambling is a game in the heart, which is good for enhancing psychological quality, and enhancing one's observation and judgment. A big benefit. Of course, everything must be done in moderation. Simply put, don’t kill people in battles, and don’t lose your pants when gambling.”

"As for the course schedule, I don't know in the future, because our courses will change at any time. After all, there are only a few of us, and the number of teachers is even more than our students. Therefore, the college will adjust the courses according to our personal circumstances. But I can be sure that the most important aspect of today’s course is to collect money. The annual tuition fee for the academy is one hundred gold coins. For you all to be soul masters of the great soul master level, there shouldn’t be any problem.”

Hearing what Dai Mubai said, Xiao Wu couldn't help but interject: "Boss Dai, you said yesterday that the school is very poor. But why is the college so poor? Several teachers we met are in their sixties and above. Over seventy levels. Judging by the level, the subsidies they can receive from Wuhun Palace are astronomical in themselves, and supporting such a small academy should be nothing."

According to Xiao Wu's speculation, the subsidy for a soul master is one gold coin a month, for a great soul master it is ten gold coins, for a soul master it should be a hundred gold coins, for a soul sect it should be a thousand, for a soul king ten thousand, and for a soul emperor. It should be 100,000 gold soul coins a month. Not to mention the Zhao Wuji they faced yesterday, who was a soul saint. One million gold coins a month was a scary figure when you think about it.

Dai Mubai shook his head and said: "If it is like what you said, of course the academy does not need to worry about any income issues. But this is not the case. The subsidies given by Wuhun Palace are all allocated by the empire and are represented by Wuhun Palace. Issued. The subsidy is only given to the soul master level. I receive one hundred gold coins every month, just like me now. After exceeding the soul master level, not only does the subsidy not increase, but it will also disappear. In other words, including the soul master level Including sects, soul masters above the Soul Sect cannot receive any subsidies from Wuhun Hall. When you go to Wuhun Hall to receive subsidies every month, there will be a soul power test. That is to determine your soul. Whether the strength exceeds level 40, once it exceeds level 40, the subsidy will be stopped immediately."

Even Tang San couldn't help but be curious this time, "Why is this happening? The higher the soul master's strength, the more valuable he is supposed to be, right?"

Dai Mubai said: "However, this must be based on reality. Although soul masters are a noble profession, the number of real soul masters is not large. But they are still a not too small group. You should have also calculated that if according to The subsidy is distributed in proportion to the level of the Soul Saint. The subsidy received per month is 100,000 gold soul coins, and the subsidy received per year is 1.2 million gold soul coins. What a huge number is that? Needless to say, other places, If the subsidies are received according to the strength of the teachers in our college, and if the empire pays them in full, the income of the teachers in our college will be able to catch up to one-tenth of the total national income of Westville City in one year. What a huge number that is. ?Although the number of high-level soul masters in the entire empire is small, the subsidies given like this are enough to bring the entire empire to its knees."

So this is actually a living subsidy given to low-level soul masters. High-level soul masters, such as soul masters like Lu Yuan and above from the soul sect, have to find their own way to survive.

And these are things that Tang San and Xiao Wu, who have not yet reached that level of cultivation, don't know.

"Therefore, the empire stipulates that the subsidy is only to encourage and help low-level soul masters to practice in order to improve their strength as soon as possible. But after reaching level 40 or above, even if they are quite powerful soul masters, they can choose to be loyal to the empire or join the army. . In that case, the empire will pay corresponding rewards. Of course, soul masters also have the right to choose freely, and they can earn a lot of income by investing in certain families."

Having said this, Dai Mubai showed a look of admiration on his face, "And all the teachers in our college are all soul masters who are unwilling to take shelter under any strength. In other words, before the establishment of the college, they were all on their own. It’s helpful. They like freedom and hate restraint. They don’t even care about the titles given by the empire. Think about it, under such circumstances, what income can they make?”

Xiao Wu asked: "Why don't you want to obtain the title provided by the empire? With the title, you should have a certain amount of income. I remember that if you are above level 30, you can get the title of baron from the empire, and at level 40 you are a viscount. There will be no more after that.”

Dai Mubai immediately said, "By accepting the title of the empire, you have the obligation to be loyal to the empire. Once a war breaks out, under the sign of the empire, as a noble of the empire, you must follow the empire's orders and go to the battlefield. The nobles' Although a title is good, it is also a restrictive curse. Many powerful soul masters will not accept noble titles because they do not want to work for one force casually. "

At this moment, a flash of red suddenly flashed across the corner of his eye.

Dai Mubai immediately looked over and found... not far from them, a beautiful girl with long red hair tied into a high ponytail appeared.

Oscar immediately saw this scene. Looking at the girl's delicate and beautiful appearance, he exclaimed, "What the fat man said is really right."

When they asked Ma Hongjun to describe the girl's appearance in the academy before, Ma Hongjun could not describe anything else except that the girl had red hair and a long ponytail.

But he said that if Dai Mubai and the others saw an indescribably beautiful red-haired girl, it would be her.

Dai Mubai and Oscar originally wanted to say that there were so many beautiful girls, so it would be difficult to find them.

Now it seems that the red-haired girl in front of me is really not ordinary beautiful.

At least with Dai Mubai's previous temperament, he would probably come forward to hook up with him.

"Boss Dai, do you want to do something?" Tang San also saw the red-haired girl at this time and asked immediately.

"Let's go! Let's go up!" Dai Mubai nodded immediately, then stood up and led everyone forward.

…

Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan came together to find a restaurant to eat, but they were temporarily separated from Lu Yuan.

The reason is because... Ning Rongrong bought too many things, and it has reached the point where her soul guide can no longer fit.

Ning Rongrong left in a hurry this time, without any preparation at all, and only took a soul guide.

However, she wanted to continue shopping, so she asked Lu Yuan to help her get her things.

Yan Zhuyin came here to order lunch and prepare to have a big meal.

At this moment, she felt several breaths coming to her.

Yan Zhuyin turned around and found several people she didn't recognize. The first of them was a man with golden, shoulder-length hair and double eyes.

Although she had met Xiao Wu, several years had passed and she couldn't quite remember Xiao Wu's appearance. After all, they had only had a quick glance four years ago.

Tang San and Xiao Wu felt the same way. They didn't remember the girl who followed Lu Yuan four years ago but never spoke.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar and others gathered around.

"?" Her cold eyes showed some doubts.

"Miss, do you still remember that you injured a... fat man yesterday?" Dai Mubai said immediately.

"Is it that guy?" Yan Zhuyin suddenly remembered, and then his face became even colder, "So you are here to avenge him?"

"We are his friends." Dai Mubai shook his head and said, "He was injured by you. Although it was his fault in the first place, you shouldn't have been so harsh."

"As expected, birds of a feather flock together and people flock together." Yan Zhuyin said coldly, "Garbage will only gather with garbage."

In her eyes, a gangster like Ma Hongjun, who has been hanging out in the prison since childhood, must also have friends who commit crimes by burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil.

This is also what most people think. If there is a bad person in a group of people, then that group of people are basically not good people.

"No matter what, you hurt my friend, and I will ask for an explanation no matter what today." Dai Mubai said solemnly at this time.

"Just the few of you..." Yan Zhuyin was stunned for a moment, and then thought of what Lu Yuan once said, "...you just want to ask for an explanation?"

The light in Dai Mubai's eyes suddenly brightened, "Don't get me wrong, even if you hurt my friend, I won't bully the less! It's just you and me! Let's see what we can do! Whoever wins will apologize! How about that?"

Yan Zhuyin sneered and said, "It depends on whether you have this ability."

She has been practicing hard over the years, and even sparring with Lu Yuan. Her fighting ability and cultivation are far beyond ordinary people, so she does not think too highly of herself.

But she doesn't feel that she is inferior to other soul masters.

Especially since Dai Mubai looked to be about the same age as her, she was not afraid of even the Soul Sect.

"Then let's go out and have a showdown!" Dai Mubai said immediately.

Immediately, they left the restaurant.

…

Come to the open space not far away.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar and others opened their positions, allowing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to stand opposite each other.

Dai Mubai said calmly, "In this competition, I learned from my friends that you and I are both at the soul master level. We can be considered equally matched, and we are not bullying you."

"Although I am fighting for an explanation, I think your cultivation can reach the Soul Master level at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and your talent is definitely not inferior to mine, so if I win this time , how about you join our academy?"

Dai Mubai thought that what he said was quite right. After all, Shrek Academy was not bad in his eyes.

But Yan Zhuyin was from the Tiandou Royal Academy, which was the number one advanced academy for soul masters in the entire Tiandou Empire, so why would he look at other academies?

"Hmph! It's just a fool's dream, defeat me first and then talk about it!" Yan Zhuyin snorted coldly, and then summoned the martial spirit, "Under the fierce bow, there is no armor left!"

This is what Lu Yuan taught her to shout when summoning the martial spirit outside.

In an instant, a fiery red longbow as long as his body appeared in Yan Zhuyin's hand. The red light of the long bow lingered like a living flame attached to the long bow, emitting an unbearable high temperature.

There is a soaring fire phoenix entwined between the long bows. The soaring fire phoenix is ​​like a living creature, constantly flowing with light, lingering on Yan Zhuyin's white and slender fingertips, as if it is her pet.

Just by the appearance of this martial spirit, Dai Mubai could tell that Yan Zhuyin's martial spirit was a very gorgeous and powerful martial spirit.

At her feet, three soul rings slowly rose up, two yellow and one purple, showing her identity as a soul master.

Dai Mubai immediately saw this and shouted, "Okay!"

He was like this when he met Tang San before, and he was like this now when he met Yan Zhuyin, because he felt challenged.

In a small town like Xiver City, except for soul masters who were older than him, there was no one in the younger generation whose soul power cultivation level could match his.

"White Tiger, Possessed." A layer of intense pale light suddenly burst out from his body. Dai Mubai stretched his arms to both sides at the same time, his chest lifted up, and the bones in his body crackled. His muscles suddenly expanded, and the clothes on his body were Hold up.

Every muscle became extremely obvious under the clothes, and even the air around him seemed to have become manic.

Her blond hair instantly turned into black and white, with white accounting for the majority, but a few strands of black hair were particularly obvious among them. Four faint lines appeared on her forehead, three horizontally and one vertically, forming the character "王".

His hands had the biggest change, becoming twice as big as before. White hair covered the entire palm of his hand. As his fingers flicked, dagger-like claws continued to poke out and retract from his palms.

Each of those sharp claws was like a blade, eight inches long, shining with a cold light.

Dai Mubai's upper body slowly leaned forward, and all four pupils of his eyes turned a deep blue.

Under his feet, three shining rings rose up one after another, rising quietly, two yellow and one purple. As the soul rings circulated, the surging soul power formed a wave-like pressure and hit his face.

But in front of Yan Zhuyin, a soul master who was also at the soul master level, this pressure was completely ignored in her eyes.

"Dai Mubai, Martial Spirit White Tiger, thirty-seventh level War Spirit Lord, please give me your advice." Dai Mubai said coldly.

A thirty-seventh level soul master might not be Dai Mubai's opponent if it were another young soul master.

But Yan Zhuyin was a soul master with level 39 soul power, and was only one step away from being promoted to the soul sect, so naturally he didn't take Dai Mubai seriously.

She snorted coldly and didn't say much. She just drew her bow and nocked an arrow. The solid flame arrows came out of the bow. In less than a second, she fired ten consecutive arrows, forming a small rain of arrows and flying towards Dai Dai. Mubai!

Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed with light, and his whole body was covered with surging soul power. He waved his hands, trying to deflect the arrow rain one by one.

Yan Zhuyin didn't want to win with one blow, but wanted to hinder Dai Mubai's movements with a rain of arrows, and then flew back to distance himself.

At the same time, she continued to draw her bow and arrows, kiting Dai Mubai.

As early as in the countless sparring sessions with Lu Yuan over the past four years, she had already figured out a set of tactics that were quite proficient and effective in actual combat.

Although the countless arrow rains were not dense, they effectively stopped Dai Mubai's actions, preventing him from getting close to Yan Zhuyin.

Even... Yan Zhuyin would inadvertently fire a cold arrow, and the flaming arrow directly hit Dai Mubai, leaving scorch marks on his clothes and burning his surface skin.

Dai Mubai has never been a patient person, but his desire to win is particularly strong. A strong white light suddenly lights up, and Dai Mubai's evil eyes suddenly turn white. Among the three soul rings on his body, The first soul ring suddenly burst into light, forming a circle of white light that instantly blocked the rain of arrows from hitting Dai Mubai.

Then the arrow and

"The number one soul skill! White Tiger Protective Barrier!"

The White Tiger Protective Barrier is a soul skill that is more defensive in nature, and it can also increase the strength of one's own soul skills.

Immediately afterwards, the second soul ring on his body lit up again, and a huge white light condensed instantly. With Dai Mubai's tiger roar, a ball of milky white light spat out from his mouth.

"The second soul skill! White Tiger Fierce Light Wave!"

Milky white energy light waves rushed straight towards Yan Zhuyin in the distance. At the same time, he roared and followed his soul skills closely.

In this brief battle with Yan Zhuyin, he already knew that Yan Zhuyin was a soul master whose soul power was definitely not inferior to his, so he had to fight with all his strength.

Otherwise, if he loses to another girl in front of Zhu Zhuqing, how can he raise his head in front of Zhu Zhuqing in the future?

At this moment, Tang San, Xiao Wu and others suddenly saw Yan Zhuyin's second soul ring light up, and they couldn't help shouting, "Be careful!"
