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

Chapter 3: Shocking Birth, Rejecting Flender Again, and the Choice of the First Soul Ring
Phew, it’s finally done. I don’t know how those people wrote it. It’s also a blessing that I have a good memory. Most people really can’t do this.”

Three days later, as the final stroke of the pen was made, Ye Qiu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

For some unknown reason, Ye Qiu's memory greatly improved after traveling through time. He could clearly remember all the books and other things he had read in his previous life, and he also had the ability to remember everything he saw.

The content he wrote this time is called sf, cough cough, those who understand will understand. Ye Qiu believes that this book will definitely be a big seller. After all, this book was the first thing most teenagers came into contact with in their previous life when they were ignorant. In addition, there is a lack of entertainment on the mainland, so this book is a good entry point.

There are also security guards such as Uncle X and so on behind.

Although it has been finished, Ye Qiu now faces a big problem, which is how to sell it.

"How about going to find Flanders?" Ye Qiu pondered.

To be honest, Ye Qiu didn't want to look for Flanders. After all, he had just rejected him a few days ago, so what was the point of looking for him now?

But when he thought about it, it seemed that he only knew of Flanders as a channel to sell the product. Most of the other people in the village didn't understand this. If he went to the Spirit Hall, he didn't know who it was. If he went to the publishing house, he was still young and the publishing house would lower his price. After thinking about it, only Flanders was suitable.

"Well, let's trouble him."

After thinking for a long time, Ye Qiu finally decided to trouble Flanders.

After making the decision, Ye Qiu packed his bags and headed for Soto City.

When Ye Qiu set off, on the other side, Shrek Academy.

"Haha, Lao Zhao, we're going to have another little monster!" Flanders called out loudly to a strong man about 1.7 meters tall when he brought Ma Hongjun back to the academy.

The man had an ordinary appearance, but a very sturdy build. Although he was short, he gave off an air of majesty. His broad shoulders were like city walls, and his coat couldn't hide his muscular build, which seemed like it was cast from steel. Although his expression was kind, his sturdy frame gave off a strong sense of oppression.

The man was sitting on a chair and sleeping. When he heard Flanders calling him, he rubbed his eyes and said impatiently, "What are you making so much noise for! Can't you see I'm sleeping?"

However, when the man saw who it was, his expression changed instantly. He smiled innocently and said, "Boss Fu, it's you. I was wondering who it was. Who is this?"

The middle-aged man looked at Ma Hongjun beside Flanders and asked.

The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Wuji, the vice president of Shrek Academy. His martial spirit is the powerful King Kong Bear, a level 69 Soul Emperor, and he is known as "Acala."

"I went out to awaken my martial soul and try my luck. This little fat boy has a mutated martial soul called the Evil Fire Phoenix. He has an innate soul power of level nine and is an orphan. So I brought him here and took him in as my disciple." Flanders explained with a frown.

"Isn't this good? Why do you look so sad?" Zhao Wuji asked puzzledly.

"Hey, you don't know, there is a better seedling, a pure fire phoenix, and with innate full soul power. It's a pity that he is unwilling to come with me." Flanders explained.

"Isn't this simple? Can't you just bring him here by force?" Zhao Wuji asked puzzledly.

Upon hearing this, Flanders' eyes darkened. What kind of person is this? He would take people away by force at any time. He really treated him as a bandit.

Flanders said sternly, "How many times have I told you this? We're not a den of bandits, we're teachers running an academy! Can you please tone down that gangster vibe of yours?"

"Ahem, I'm just a little excited to hear that there's a good seedling. I'll definitely do it next time!" Zhao Wuji said awkwardly after dry coughing twice.

"Hongjun, I'll take you to the dormitory first. You have a roommate and you have to get along well with him, okay?" After scolding Zhao Wuji, Flanders looked at Ma Hongjun on the side and said.

"I understand." Ma Hongjun nodded and said in a low voice.

Ma Hongjun, who came from a small village, had never seen such a scene before. Moreover, he was an orphan. In this situation, he did not dare to speak loudly.

Afterwards, Flanders brought Ma Hongjun to the door of a small wooden house. When they opened the door, there was a little boy in the house who looked not much older than Ma Hongjun. He had silver hair and deep peach blossom eyes that looked so affectionate that even a dog could see through them.

"Oscar, this is a new student in the academy. You have to get along well with him and not bully him, okay?" Flanders said to the silver-haired boy.

The boy was Oscar, one of the Shrek Seven Devils. He was brought back by Flanders a year ago when he was still wandering. Flanders felt sorry for him and helped him awaken his martial soul. Later he found out that Oscar was born with full soul power and brought him back.

"I understand, Dean." Oscar nodded slightly. He listened to Flanders very much. If Flanders hadn't been soft-hearted, he might still be wandering now.

"Then you two should get along well. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Seeing Oscar agreed, Flanders gave a few casual instructions and left.

After Flanders left, Oscar and Ma Hongjun stared at each other, neither of them saying a word. The scene was awkward for a while, but in the end, Ma Hongjun couldn't stand it anymore and broke the atmosphere first, saying, "Hello, my name is Ma Hongjun, my spirit is Evil Fire Phoenix. I'm grateful for your guidance."

Seeing Ma Hongjun speak first, Oscar couldn't continue to be cold and said, "My name is Oscar, Wuhun Sausage, please bear with me in the future."

Then the two held each other's hands, smiled at each other, and their bond began.

Of course, Ye Qiu didn't know what happened in Shrek. At this time, he was still on his way to Soto City.

One day later, in Soto City. "Uncle Li, I'll get off here first."

Ye Qiu's voice came from a carriage.

"Okay, then Xiaoqiu, when are you going back? Do you want Uncle Li to wait for you?" said the man called Uncle Li.

"No need, Uncle Li. You can go back after delivering the food. I'm going to hunt for spirit rings and may not come back." Ye Qiu replied.

"Okay, you have to be careful. I heard that the Soul Beast Forest is very dangerous." The man called Uncle Li warned after hearing Ye Qiu's answer.

"I understand, Uncle Li, I will be careful." Ye Qiu nodded to indicate that he would pay attention to safety.

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to come to Soto City to find Flanders by himself, but he didn't expect to meet Uncle Li who was coming to Soto City to sell vegetables as soon as he went out. Uncle Li simply asked him to come with him in a carriage, otherwise it would take at least two or three days for him to walk by himself.

Then Ye Qiu got off the carriage and walked to the address given by Flanders.

"It should be here." Ye Qiu thought as he looked at the sign of the shop in front of him.

The logo of this plaque is very peculiar. There are three patterns on it, namely a sword, a hammer and a dragon, corresponding to the Seven Killing Sword Clear Sky Hammer and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"Knock knock knock!" Ye Qiu stretched out his right hand and knocked on the door. There would be nothing wrong with being polite.

"Come in!" Soon, Flanders' voice came from inside the door.

After getting a response, Ye Qiu pushed open the door. At this time, Flanders was lying on a wooden rocking chair with a book covering his face.

"Who is it? Ye Qiu! Have you decided to come to our academy?" Flanders was confused at first, but when he saw that the person was Ye Qiu, he instantly became excited.

This is innate full soul power, which is so rare. There are only a handful of them in the entire continent. How can I not pay attention to it?

"No, it's just that there is something I want Lord Flanders to help me with." Ye Qiu shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not here to join the academy, but he needed Lord Flanders' help with something.

"Okay, what can I help you with?" Flanders knew that Ye Qiu had declined his invitation again but he didn't care. Instead, he asked Ye Qiu what was the matter.

Seeing Flanders asking, Ye Qiu handed the manuscript he had written to Flanders.

Flanders took the manuscript disapprovingly and glanced at a few pages before his face flushed instantly. He quickly used his soul power to close the door and asked, "You boy! How did you get this amazing book, the Emperor's Uncle?"

To be honest, SF is still very powerful. Look, Flanders got excited after reading only a few pages. The main reason is that she looks very similar to the woman he has been thinking about day and night, but he doesn't dare to confess to her.

"I have a friend." Seeing Flanders asking, Ye Qiu used the universal formula to kill him instantly.

"So, what you mean? Let me help publish this book?" Flanders asked in confusion.

Ye Qiu nodded to indicate that was the case.

"This" is not only a profiteer, but also a high-level soul master and the dean of an academy. Naturally, his vision is not bad. Judging from the few pages he flipped through, he can tell that this book is of extremely high value and will definitely sell well. But shouldn't he ask for some benefits for helping to sell it?

"What's wrong? Dean Flanders?" Ye Qiu asked in confusion when he saw Flanders was silent for a long time.

"It's okay, but I don't know what benefits I can get?" Flanders asked.

Ye Qiu understood what Flender said. It turned out he wanted some benefits. After understanding Flender's intention, Ye Qiu pretended to be heartbroken and said, "Originally, my friend said it was a 40% to 60% split. You get 40% and he gets 60%. One tenth of his 60% is mine. If you think 40% is too little, Dean Flender, I can give you my tenth, but I need your help to obtain a spirit ring for me."

Because the friend is fictitious, whether it is a 64% or 50% split is just a cover. The most important goal is to hunt for the first soul ring and he will not lose out no matter what.

"Is that so? I agree. I will help you get your first soul ring." Flanders looked left and right, and seeing that Ye Qiu's expression did not seem fake, he accepted the request of a 50-50 split and helped Ye Qiu hunt for the first soul ring.

Afterwards, Flanders took the manuscript to the publishing house in Soto City.

A moment later, Flanders returned to his shop, beaming. He said to Ye Qiu, "It's done. We sold six thousand gold soul coins, and I paid you another four thousand gold soul coins in royalties, for a total of ten thousand gold soul coins. I'll split the royalties between you and your friend based on sales. If it's a fifty-fifty split, the five thousand gold soul coins will be your friend's." As he spoke, Flanders pulled out a gold soul coin card and handed it to Ye Qiu. (P.S.) Flanders is well-known in Soto City and a Soul Sage, so the publishing house wanted to curry his favor.)
Flanders was very happy. He could get 5,000 gold soul coins for helping him find a publishing house and obtaining the first soul ring. How wonderful!

Ye Qiu took the card and put it in his bag.

"By the way, what kind of soul beast do you want for your first soul ring?" Seeing Ye Qiu put away the soul coins, Kafland asked Ye Qiu about his thoughts on the first soul ring.

"Hmm." After hearing Flender's question, Ye Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "First, the birds with fire attributes, then the birds, and then the soul beasts with fire attributes."

Suzaku is of the fire element, so the first choice is a bird soul beast with fire attribute, followed by a bird soul beast. As for the fire attribute, it can only be said to be used as a makeshift. After all, it is one of the four spirits of heaven, and its status is high. It is impossible for the soul beast bloodline of the Douluo world to pollute Suzaku.
