Chapter 38: Jade-like Face, Sword-like Eyebrows, Star-like Eyes

"Who allowed you to get close to Xiaodong?"

Boss Xiao, who already had a soul power of level 20, stared at his bold younger brother with a gloomy face. The two years of fighting had already worn away their already shallow brotherhood. It was not an exaggeration to say that the two had become enemies.

"Wasn't the lesson I taught you last time enough?"

"You are just a few levels higher in spirit power than me, do you really think you can defeat me?"

"Humph~ Beauty is only worthy of the strong, useless brother, and I am stronger than you, this is the fact!"

"Tsk, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Boss Xiao."

"Are you here to bully your brother and show off again?" A handsome little brat with a jade-like face and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes walked over from a distance. Boss Xiao's face suddenly darkened:

"Boss Ye? You want to compete with me too?"

"Tsk tsk, Boss Xiao is really impressive." A voice came from behind. Boss Xiao turned his head and saw two handsome young men with handsome faces and sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes walking towards him.

"Boss Lin is here too? And Boss Chu... Damn it!"

The three of them were all level 3 Great Spirit Masters, and they already had their second spirit rings. Boss Xiao suddenly felt that it was difficult to deal with them. At the same time, the movement here also attracted more and more people's attention. Many female students couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the four handsome boys with sword eyebrows and star eyes gathered together:

"It's the four young masters of Notting! How did they get together?"

"What else can you do! Don't you see Xiaodong there?"

The female students looked on, groaning and envious, but most of the men looked like they were enjoying the show, and a few looked at the four men with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, their eyes flickering with a hint of fighting spirit.

It is a natural instinct of males to like fighting, especially when competing for the right to mate with the same sex, they will fight harder and may even risk their lives.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Xiaodong, the instigator, said with a smile: "Everyone calm down first."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiaodong. Ye Jia's sharp eyebrows and bright eyes asked tentatively: "Student Xiaodong, you will graduate in less than two months!"

The others also stared at Xiaodong impatiently. After keeping everyone in suspense for so long, isn't it time to make a choice?

Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and nodded in public. Everyone couldn't help but breathe quickly. Who would be the lucky one to be chosen?

Pink opened her mouth slightly and uttered in a soft and cute voice: "I plan to hold an open competition on this matter."

Competition?

Everyone was startled and asked immediately, "Is it a competition similar to the one for marrying a bride?"

"Xiaodong~ You're playing with fire! But I like it. Tell me, what kind of competition is it?"

"Could it be a soul master duel?"

"That's the best! Beauty is only worthy of the strong, let's see who's the best!"

"Humph! My fate is in my own hands! Xiaodong is destined to be my, Ye Aotian's, woman!"

"Bullshit, Xiaodong has long been the chosen heroine of our Lin family! How can you get involved!"

"Hahaha~ Xiaodong, don't believe these playboys. I guarantee on the thousand-year reputation of the Chu family that you must be the single heroine!"

"Hehehe~" The three sword-browed and star-eyed men's solemn pledges caused some small nobles to sneer. The two brothers of the Xiao family looked at each other, but did not reach an agreement to join forces to defeat other families. Instead, they thought about defeating their own people first.

"When will it be held? Now?"

"Three days later, the location is at the fighting arena in the academy square." Xiao Dong gave the time and said with a smile: "But you can sign up from now on, the registration fee is 3 gold soul coin."

Xiaodong, who was about to have the idea of cheating his family by selling goods through live streaming written all over his face, immediately used his lunch box as a box for paying the registration fee and started the on-site registration directly!

However, 1 gold soul coin is not expensive. Even a civilian soul master can save enough by relying on the monthly subsidy from the Spirit Hall as long as he does not spend lavishly.

Everyone looked at each other, obviously not expecting Xiaodong to act so suddenly. Some careful students also found that Xiaodong's lunch box seemed to be different from before, with a much larger capacity, as if... as if he had been preparing for this day for a long time!

But no one paid attention to this detail, and the students reacted quickly. The four sword-browed and star-eyed ones took the lead in donating... no, paying the registration fee. Seeing this, the other small nobles and civilians also stepped forward.

"Xiaodong! I'll be the first to hand it in!" Boss Xiao pushed through the crowd and threw a gold soul coin in impatiently, but before he could get closer, he was pushed away by someone.

"Boss Xiao is so poor! Haha~ I'll pay 10 gold soul coins!" Ye Jia's sword-browed and star-eyed man waved his hand and threw 10 gold soul coins in generously, saying proudly: "The extra ones, Xiaodong, you can spend as you like. If you don't have enough, keep asking me for more!"

After saying this, he glanced at Boss Xiao with disdain, whose face was ashen, then turned around leisurely and coolly, leaving behind a back that he thought was extremely handsome.

This move made the eyes of the Lin family members who were about to pay the coins light up. They followed suit and threw 10 coins. After getting a nod and smile from Lai Xiaodong, they turned around and left happily. Before leaving, they also glanced at Boss Xiao with contempt.

When it was the Chu family's turn, the sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes waved their hands and threw in 50 gold soul coins: "We in the Chu family don't have much of anything, but we have a lot of money!"

As he spoke, he looked down on Boss Xiao, whose face was as black as charcoal. When it was Boss Xiao's turn, this guy actually threw in 50 coins. Then, what made everyone laugh was that he not only looked at his eldest brother with contempt, but also made a few sarcastic remarks. Then he turned around in a cool manner, leaving behind what he thought was a handsome back.

Although the junior noble students and civilian students who came after that did not have the good looks of the four nobles except Boss Xiao with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes... no, not the financial resources, they also threw in several gold soul coins, and the least they had was two gold soul coins.

Unfortunately, Boss Xiao, who could not bear the humiliation, had already fled the registration site, leaving the students who were unable to vent their contempt on him regretful.

As time went by and word of mouth spread, the news spread throughout the entire academy in a very short time. Those who wanted to participate or just wanted to join in the fun came to watch. Many female students even threw in a few gold soul coins. Facing the strange looks from them, the female students responded with contempt:

"A bunch of lowly creatures who only think about being bitter, can't we simply let Xiaodong join our family?"

This sentence reminded everyone that Xiaodong was not only the most beautiful loli among the junior students of Notting, but her innate talent of full soul power was also extremely precious. Although her thoughts were a bit weird, as long as she could reform and be well trained, she could still bring huge benefits to the family.

As for whether Xiaodong had an aristocratic background, although everyone was curious, no one cared too much about it. Because Xiaodong had been alone for the past two years, everyone suspected that Xiaodong's family had fallen on hard times or even...

After all, anything can happen in Douluo Continent where the strong prey on the weak, and everyone only knows that it seems to be related to Master Wastewood.

However, competing for the right to Xiaodong's secret room is something only the aristocratic students need to consider. The entire academy is still dominated by civilian students, but they also paid gold soul coins to Xiaodong to register!

"You are only a level 10 little soul master, why do you sign up? Can you compete with those level 20 great soul masters?"

"So what? The important thing is to participate!"

"That is to say, in a martial arts match to recruit soul masters, you don't have to win, but it's good to be able to participate."

"Xiaodong is so cute. Since she's short of money, what's wrong with giving her some?"

"That makes sense! This is the living expenses I saved for a month, spend it!"
