Douluo: Suzaku bathed in fire, I am the master of fire

Chapter 2 Rejection of Flanders

"Phoenix? Phoenix must call him ancestor!" Ye Qiu thought to himself after hearing Flanders' words.

The moment his martial soul awakened, information about his martial soul came to Ye Qiu's mind. His martial soul was Suzaku, one of the four spirits of heaven and earth, and it controlled the existence of Nanming Lihuo.

Zhuque, also known as Zhuniao, is the god of the south representing Emperor Yan and the seven southern stars. It is Li in the Eight Diagrams and represents fire in the Five Elements. It symbolizes the old yang among the four images, summer among the four seasons, and is also the southern land of the sky.

No wonder he had good luck in his previous life. He always bought drinks with one yuan, always picked up money when he went out, often won the lottery, and even when he played games at home, he could be lucky enough to get to the 18th floor.

"Kid, your martial soul is the Phoenix, and you are born with full soul power. I am the dean of an advanced soul master academy. Do you want to come with me and that little fat boy?" Flanders quickly calmed down. He was a strong man and could not lose 13 grids.

"Hmm." After hearing what Flanders said, Ye Qiu began to think.

As a Tang scholar, he knew the academy that Flanders mentioned, Shitlake Academy. It might not be well-known now, but once the Shrek Seven Devils gathered together and won the Soul Master Competition, it would become famous. Ten thousand years later, 60% of the Titled Douluo in the entire continent would come from Shitlake Academy. It would be the veritable number one soul master academy in the continent, replacing the destroyed Spirit Hall.

But that's a matter for the future. Shitlake Academy is now just a small, obscure academy. It's completely destitute, and its students rely on deception. They don't even particularly care about hunting spirit rings. {Here, I'm wondering where all the students Shrek recruited went. Qin Ming showed up, and Dai Mubai said they recruited 62 students, but only 14 graduated. The fate of the other 48 is questionable. Did they die while hunting spirit rings carelessly, or did they get into trouble and get killed? It's unknown.}
Moreover, the admission requirements of Shitlake Academy are particularly outrageous. Twenty levels before the age of twelve, forty levels before the age of twenty, and innate level seven or above. Even with these requirements, there are still a lot of students who want to go. As a result, they often cheat people out of their registration fees and say they are not accepted.

Moreover, the teachers in the academy are all Soul Emperors and Soul Saints. It would be better to just go to the Star Dou Great Forest and kill a ten-thousand-year soul beast or a thousand-year soul beast and sell it than this, but in the end, no one goes.

Even more ridiculous is the academy's motto: "Those who don't dare to stir up trouble are mediocre." They suppress those with low spirit power, and stun those with high spirit power. {See Tang Hao's fight with Zhao Wuji for details.} To put it bluntly, they bully the weak and fear the strong.

Training students is nothing more than throwing them into the fighting arena, or doing physical training. All I can say is that those who understand will understand.

To sum up, Ye Qiu did not want to go to Shitlake College, but he didn't know how to say it. After all, he didn't know what Flanders' attitude was.

Seeing Ye Qiu thinking, Flanders didn't bother him. After all, he himself was unsure. Although he could use his strength to forcibly take Ye Qiu away, what about after Ye Qiu graduated? Would Ye Qiu bear a grudge then?

"Ye Qiu, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and agree to it."

But Ma Hongjun on the side was not happy about it. The dean of the Soul Master Academy had recruited him personally. Although he didn't know what the strength of the dean of a Soul Master Academy was, he knew that he should be very powerful.

Hearing Ma Hongjun's urging, Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Flender, if I go with you, what will the academy have?"

"This..." Flanders was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell him that he had to earn his own living expenses in the academy, so Flanders began to think about how to answer Ye Qiu's question. Seeing Flanders thinking, Ye Qiu didn't interrupt. Although he was a time traveler and understood Flanders's personality, he was only six years old. Although he was precocious in the cultivation world, he couldn't be too outrageous.

"Hey! Got it!" Suddenly, a light bulb popped up above Flender's head. He pointed his right index finger to the sky and said, "Our academy has two Soul Saints, four Soul Emperors, and one Soul King. We will help you hunt for your soul rings before level 50. Other than that, you don't need to pay tuition."

"I think he will agree to this." Flanders was unsure. After all, he was born with full soul power and had not figured out Ye Qiu's thoughts yet, but this was indeed the best condition he could offer.

Ye Qiu frowned and thought, "Oh no, this is coming for me."

However, Ye Qiu quickly relaxed his brow and began to consider the feasibility of Flender's words. If he went to Shitlake Academy with Flender now, the early spirit rings would be the easiest to solve. But what about when Yu Xiaogang and Tang San arrived? With Gangzi's personality, he would definitely find an excuse to study his martial spirit. Ye Qiu didn't want to be treated like a monkey.

Thinking of this, Ye Qiu shook his head slightly and said, "Dean Flanders, let me think about it."

After hearing this, Flanders knew that Ye Qiu was unlikely to go with him. It was such a pity to lose such a good talent. Then, Flanders looked at Ma Hongjun on the side.

"Your name is Ma Hongjun, right? Would you like to go with me?" Flanders asked.

Ma Hongjun was stunned for a moment when he heard Flanders' words, and then he said excitedly: "I do! I am willing to go with you!"

"Sure enough, even if he has good talent, he is just a child." Looking at Ma Hongjun's appearance, Flanders was very satisfied. He liked this type of people, who were obedient and easy to train, and had not seen much of the world. On the contrary, he was not so concerned about Ye Qiu. Although he had good talent, he was not easy to fool and had his own ideas. Even if he had good talent, his personality did not suit his academy.

After confirming that Ma Hongjun was leaving with him, Flanders looked at Ye Qiu and said, "If you've made up your mind, you can come to a shop in Soto City to find me. This is the location of my shop."

As he spoke, Flanders wrote down an address and handed it to Ye Qiu. After Ye Qiu took it, Flanders took Ma Hongjun away.

After Ma Hongjun and Flanders completely disappeared from Ye Qiu's sight, Ye Qiu looked at the address in his hand and shook his head. Flanders still hadn't given up, but it didn't matter. It happened that hunting the first soul ring was a bit difficult, so maybe he could ask Flanders to help get it. However, it would be difficult to repay this favor.

"Forget it, let's go home first. I'm a little hungry. Man is iron and rice is steel. If I don't eat a meal, I'll be hungry. Let's go home and eat."

Ye Qiu planned to go home and eat before thinking about the spirit ring issue. There was no rush, after all, there was a backup plan. However, if the favor wasn't good, it didn't matter. At worst, he could just stay for a while and leave before Gangzi arrived. If that didn't work out, he could raise money himself and find someone to help him find someone from the Spirit Hall to hunt him down. As for how to raise money, he already had an idea.

"Let's get started." Ye Qiu returned home after dinner and prepared to start making money.
