Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Ice and Snow Maiden, Calls Snow Empress "Mom"

Chapter 44 The Underlying Code for Supporting the Family by Blacksmithing: The Dean Was Too Eager to Improve.

"These... these are all gold soul coins?!"

Tang San's breathing became rapid.

You should know that in Holy Soul Village, he worked hard every day from dawn till dusk to help his father forge iron to support the family. He was exhausted, and he could only barely get a few of the lowest quality copper soul coins a month!

Above the bronze soul coins are the silver soul coins, and above that are the incomparably precious gold soul coins!

There are at least several hundred gold soul coins in here!

"Master—Master is so generous?!"

Tang San's hands, which were holding the ring, were trembling slightly.

Having lived two lives, in his previous life he was an unappreciated outer disciple in the Tang Sect, and could only study in secret.

In this life, his biological father, Tang Hao, was an alcoholic who drank heavily all day long. Apart from teaching him blacksmithing, he never gave him a single bit of care or warmth.

But today!

For the first time, Tang San truly felt what "fatherly care" meant through his newly recognized master!

This is not just a gift of money, but also a testament to his complete trust and high regard!

Thinking of this, Tang San felt an indescribable surge of emotion.

"My master has treated me with boundless kindness; how could I possibly hide anything from him?"

Tang San gritted his teeth and immediately decided to stop hiding one of his biggest trump cards!

He rolled up his sleeves and showed Xue Bingchen the exquisite metal cylinder strapped to his forearm, his tone carrying a hint of pride and candor: "Master, you were right when you noticed it."

This thing is called a silent sleeve dart, a type of killing move known as a "hidden weapon".

This is a little gadget I made myself out of scrap metal during my free time. It can severely injure the enemy by surprise!

Seeing this, Xue Bingchen pretended to be very interested, took the sleeve arrow from Tang San's arm, and played with it in his hand for a while.

"Oh? A hidden weapon? This mechanism is ingeniously designed, making it impossible to defend against."

Xue Bingchen praised without reservation, "Xiao San, you are extremely meticulous and skillful. To be able to create something like this, you are truly a rare genius!"

Hearing his master's praise, Tang San scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

For a fleeting moment, his face, which had lived two lives and prided itself on being cold and ruthless, actually blushed for once!

However, seeing his master merely playing with the mechanism of the hidden arrow, Tang San thought to himself, "Although my master is incredibly powerful, he clearly doesn't understand the true terror of my Tang Clan's hidden weapons!"

This hidden blade is just the most basic one. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely demonstrate the real, top-tier hidden weapons to my master!

"Alright, mistress."

Xue Bingchen returned the hidden arrow to Tang San, patted him on the shoulder, and gently instructed him, "Take Old Jack Village Chief's certificate and go to Notting Academy to complete the enrollment procedures and settle down."

"You've traveled for so many days to get to this academy. For the next few days, don't go anywhere; just rest well here."

"In a few days, I will personally take you to Sunset Forest to find the most suitable first spirit ring for you!"

At this point, Xue Bingchen's gaze became profound, as if guiding Tang San to think about the future path: "These next few days, you can think carefully about what kind of path you hope your Blue Silver Grass will take in the future."

Is it going for a support route focused on life attributes?

Or should we take a control approach, taking overall command?

"Or perhaps—"

Xue Bingchen's lips curled into a smile as she stared into Tang San's eyes: "To make your Blue Silver Grass as indestructible and lethal as your hidden weapons?!"

Upon hearing this, two dazzling golden lights instantly burst forth from Tang San's eyes!

Indestructible!

One strike, one kill!

These eight words truly resonated with him, a master of hidden weapons from the Tang Clan!

Tang San straightened his back abruptly, his voice loud and firm: "Master, rest assured! I will definitely consider it carefully! I, Tang San, will absolutely not let you down!"

In the following days, Notting College welcomed a true big shot.

Xue Bingchen, along with his newly accepted precious disciple Tang San, moved into Notting Academy in a very high-profile manner.

Since she had decided to stay in Notting City for a few days and then take Tang San to Sunset Forest, Xue Bingchen naturally couldn't possibly make herself suffer.

He had handfuls of gold soul coins in his hand. He didn't come out on purpose to experience the hardships of the lower classes. What's wrong with enjoying himself?

So, Xue Bingchen took Tang San directly to the academy's academic affairs office and immediately asked for the best and most luxurious private guest room at Notting Academy.

However, the teacher from the academic affairs office told him with a troubled expression, "Sir, I'm really sorry."

Our academy's best independent guesthouse has been booked out for a long time by that famous martial spirit theory master, Yu Xiaogang.

Upon hearing this name, Xue Bingchen was speechless for a moment.

"That level 29 Soul Master lives in the best house in the whole academy? Does Notting Academy have so much money that it doesn't know what to do with it?" Xue Bingchen complained in his mind.

Just as the teachers in the academic affairs office were in a dilemma, unsure of how to deal with this seemingly extraordinary white-haired young man, the dean of Notting College happened to pass by.

This dean is a level 41, four-ring Soul Master, and in this remote Notting City, he is considered a very prominent figure.

He had originally intended to put on airs as the dean and ask what had happened.

As a result, Xue Bingchen didn't even bother to say a word of nonsense. He simply raised his eyelids slightly and released a trace of his terrifying aura as a sixth-ring Soul Emperor, precisely targeting only the Dean.

"boom!"

In that instant, the dean felt as if an invisible mountain wolf had slammed down on his shoulder, his legs went weak, and he almost knelt down before Xue Bingchen on the spot!

Soul—Soul Emperor?!

The dean's eyes, which had previously held a hint of arrogance, instantly became incredibly clear!

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his once straight back instantly bending at a ninety-degree angle, his face plastered with an extremely obsequious smile, even his voice trembling: "Oh dear! I had no idea His Majesty the Soul Emperor would grace us with his presence! I have failed to greet you properly! I have failed to greet you properly!"

"Your Majesty wants the best accommodations? No problem! Absolutely no problem!"

The dean waved his hand dismissively and said righteously, "How could a place like a guesthouse be worthy of Your Majesty's noble status? How about this, I have a private villa on the back mountain of the academy, with a secluded environment and complete facilities, absolutely the best house in the entire academy! If Your Majesty doesn't mind, please do me the honor of staying there!"

In fact, Xue Bingchen really didn't intend to bully others and seize their houses.

After all, he had plenty of gold soul coins; at worst, he could book the most luxurious hotel in Notting City and spend them all.

but----

Looking into the dean's clear eyes, which were filled with a desire to build high-level connections and an intense thirst for advancement, Xue Bingchen hesitated for a moment before finally nodding and agreeing.
