In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

Upon hearing this, the five women lowered their heads in shame. They admitted that they did not have Qin Xue's awareness at all, and that Qin Xue was more suitable to be the inheritor of the divine power than they were.

How ridiculous!

If a girl who is truly dedicated to contributing to the development of the Soul Master world cannot stand at the very top of this world, then... this world has no reason to exist.

Qin Xue was not a time traveler, but her knowledge far surpassed that of a time traveler, and she naturally understood the principle that "dignity lies only on the edge of the sword."

What good is the strength of one person? The path of cultivation is endless. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be cultivators stronger than you. Why not gather a new force, take the Douluo World as the center, sweep across one plane after another, plunder resources and improve your own cultivation?

Whether it's extraterrestrial demons or warmongering, as long as it can make the Douluo World strong, there will be great scholars to debate and defend them!

Qin Xue ignored the five girls behind her and strode out of the rest room of Xingluo Royal Academy.

They're just five clowns, lacking even this basic awareness. They'll only become cannon fodder in their family's struggle against the divine realm.

Soon it was noon. After lunch, the various teams started taking a group stroll. Since they had nothing else to do, and Soul Masters didn't need to take a nap to recharge, it wouldn't hurt to take this opportunity to meet more people and learn about more forces.

Just then, Qin Xue, dressed in a white dress, floated out of the rest room of Tianshui Academy on a balance bike and pushing a small cart.

"Take a look! Soul cultivation techniques are on sale cheap! Not 998, not 98, just two gold soul coins."

"Two gold soul coins are a steal. Are you still worried about how to counter Huo Yuhao's soul-piercing soul skill? The Soul Cultivation Technique can solve all your problems..."

Huo Yuhao: ? ? ? ? ?

How did this get involved with him?

Huo Yuhao's expression darkened. Although he didn't quite understand the relationship between the spiritual and soul levels, he knew that once everyone practiced soul techniques, his mental interference, soul impact, and other mental attack-type soul skills would no longer have any advantage.

No! Absolutely not! We cannot allow this "Soul Cultivation Technique" to fall into the hands of an ordinary Soul Master!

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao took a step forward and immediately arrived in front of Qin Xue, revealing his dagger and forcing back the Soul Masters who were rushing in from all directions.

"Qin Xue, I want all of these Soul Cultivation Techniques. Name your price. Also... I want to discuss a business deal with you on behalf of the Tang Sect."

Although Huo Yuhao was very pleased, he unexpectedly did not show an aggressive attitude. Instead, he spoke to Qin Xue in a gentle and amicable manner.

Qin Xue was stunned.

She didn't know... why Huo Yuhao had such a big reaction. The mighty God King of Emotions, didn't he want the Soul Master world to become stronger?

She... seemed to have overestimated Huo Yuhao's character.

Aside from the seemingly tragic character setting, there's nothing else noteworthy about him!

"Of course! Doing business with the renowned Tang Clan is something I'd be more than happy to do. There are too many people here, let's find another place to talk."

As she spoke, Qin Xue waved her hand, and the small cart containing the "Soul Cultivation Techniques" was stored in her storage bracelet. Then, she opened an oil-paper umbrella, stepped on her balance bike, and floated away without looking back.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly followed.

The scene shifts to the lounge at Tianshui Academy. Qin Xue slumps on the sofa, points to a hundred booklets on the table, and says expressionlessly, "Each book costs two gold soul coins. If you buy them all, that's one million gold soul coins. Huo Yuhao, is this price... satisfactory?"

One million gold soul coins... might have been an astronomical figure for the original Huo Yuhao, but now... hehe, as the head of the Tang Sect's Power Hall, he has the authority to mobilize far more funds than that.

Huo Yuhao, being incredibly wealthy, tossed a gold soul coin worth a million onto the table.

"The first deal is done, Qin Xue. Come on, let's talk about the second deal."

Huo Yuhao said with a solemn expression, "I want to buy out the 'Soul Cultivation Technique.' From now on, only disciples of the Tang Sect, the Body Sect, and the Tianshui Academy will be qualified to study it."

"Qin Xue, name your price. Feel free to ask for anything, even shares in Tang Clan's businesses are acceptable."

Qin Xue: "..."

"It's impossible to buy it outright now. Chen Yu, Lin Yue, Mo Lian, Xu Jiujiu, and others just came by, and each of them received a copy of the 'Soul Cultivation Technique.' As for how much they spent, hmph... I have no comment!"

Qin Xue waved her hand lazily, making a gesture as if to shoo people away.

"You…" Huo Yuhao said coldly, "Qin Xue, are you playing me? Do you know… the current situation of your Tianshui Academy? With just one word from me, Huo Yuhao, no Soul Master will dare to join Tianshui Academy again, do you believe me?"

Huo Yuhao knew he had no reason to continue making a scene; after all, he hadn't asked about the situation before discussing the business. But... to vent his frustration, he started threatening Qin Xue.

"Do as you please, punish me however you want, I don't care!" Qin Xue pouted and said irritably, "Are we still going to talk business? If not, get out of here. I don't have the time to play house with a child like you!"

Huo Yuhao: "..."

I'm so angry!

Huo Yuhao clenched his fists, his entire body contorted with rage, as if he wanted to devour Qin Xue whole. "Why? Wouldn't it be better to keep the 'Soul Cultivation Technique' for your own disciples? Why did you have to sell it to others? Aren't you afraid that one day, some Soul Master's mastery of the soul will surpass that of your Qin family?"

Qin Xue said sarcastically, "Huo Yuhao, who the hell do you think you are? Even if I were to sell the 'Soul Cultivation Technique' for money, or even give it away as a freebie to every Soul Master on the Douluo Continent, what business is it of yours, Huo Yuhao? Do I, the Qin family, need to report to you, Huo Yuhao, about my actions?"

"You're targeting me! Targeting me, Huo Yuhao! Targeting my Tang Sect!"

Huo Yuhao kicked over the table in front of him, pointed his right index finger at Qin Xue's nose, and said indignantly, "Who in the Soul Master world doesn't know... that my first Martial Soul, the Spirit Eye, is the most powerful Spirit-type Martial Soul? I've always ended matches with Spirit-type Soul Skills! You're trying to incite all Soul Masters on the continent to cultivate Soul Power; you're clearly targeting me, Huo Yuhao!"

"Today... you'd better give me an explanation, or else... hmph, watch out, you might not be able to return to the far north!"

Huo Yuhao has broken through yet another defense.

He didn't want any more Soul Masters to appear on his path! (End of Chapter)
