Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Qi Dao walked in and, with a flick of his wrist, took out an extremely exquisite sandalwood box, no bigger than the palm of his hand, from his azure ring and placed it on Dean Hans's desk.

"What is this thing?"

"Didn't I tell you not to bring me a gift?" Dean Hans said, feigning anger.

When Qi Dao visited him last time, he gave him a full 100,000 gold soul coins to help him renovate the academy.

Now, Notting College has doubled in size and has built new teaching and dormitory buildings.

Although the size of each dormitory room has decreased, the number of people living in a dormitory room has changed from fifty to two people per room.

Qi Dao knew that with fifty people in one dormitory, even the most self-disciplined students would find it difficult to concentrate on their cultivation.

That's why Dean Hans didn't have to be frugal and could spend the money where it was needed.

In addition, the salaries of faculty and staff have also increased significantly.

Qi Dao wasn't exactly a great philanthropist, but this was his alma mater, Hans had been kind to him, and many other teachers had helped and guided him.

Now that he has achieved some success, he naturally will not forget to give back to the academy.

It was precisely because of Qi Dao's help last time that Hans stopped him from bringing gifts again.

After all, Soul Masters have many expenses.

Qi Dao waved his hand and said, "Dean Hans, this is just a little calming incense for helping people sleep. It's not worth much. Please accept it."

Upon hearing this, Hans asked in return, "Really?"

Qi Dao laughed and said, "Of course!"

Hans then put the wooden box away with satisfaction.

Qi Dao smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Of the three ounces of Soul-Soothing Incense that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gave him, he used one ounce himself, left one ounce for his parents, and the remaining one ounce was in the wooden box on Dean Hans's desk.

One or two ounces of Soul-Soothing Incense are worth 100,000 Gold Soul Coins on the market; they are extremely precious and rare.

Qi Dao chatted with Hans for a while and learned that Qi Dao had broken through to level 30. He was genuinely happy for Qi Dao and at the same time full of emotion.

"I really didn't expect that, both of us have half-level innate soul power, but Xiao Gang has been stuck at this level for more than 20 years, while you have already broken through this barrier at such a young age."

Qi Dao listened and smiled faintly.

Is Yu Xiaogang's martial soul really that bad?

It should be noted that the fusion skill between him, Flander, and Liu Erlong was based on Luo Sanpao as the carrier, with the martial souls and soul power of the other two attached to it.

Ultimately, Luo Sanpao was allowed to temporarily complete his unfinished evolution and become the Golden Holy Dragon.

Moreover, even when the Golden Sacred Dragon takes shape, it is still controlled by Yu Xiaogang's consciousness.

Therefore, this clearly shows that Luo Sanpao is not a truly useless martial soul!

At the very least, it has enormous untapped potential!

This situation highlights the importance of the first and second spirit rings.

After all, a martial soul can evolve after absorbing a soul ring.

If Yu Xiaogang had absorbed the correct and suitable spirit ring, his Luo Sanpao wouldn't have evolved into a golden holy dragon immediately, but it wouldn't have remained unchanged, right?

Of course, what's even more unsettling is that no one knows what kind of soul beast Yu Xiaogang absorbed, which is why Luo Sanpao's attack method is farting!

It's still stinky farts!

The two chatted for a while and had a very pleasant conversation.

Hans stood up and offered, "Let me show you around the academy and show you how it has changed this year."

"Thanks to the 100,000 gold soul coins you donated last year, Notting Academy has undergone tremendous changes."

Qi Dao smiled and said, "Is that so?"

"Then I'll have to take a good look!"

After they finished speaking, the two walked out of the dean's office together.

Inside the academy, Hans explained the changes to Qi Dao one by one.

"Now, the academy has also built a total of six training fields to ensure that each grade has a training field."

"That's a good thing!" Qi Dao smiled and continued, "Before, the academy only had two training grounds, which were quite crowded when all six grades of students used them together."

The two walked and talked. Because it was a holiday, the academy was very quiet and there was not a single person in sight.

It wasn't until we reached one of the training fields that we heard the commotion from inside.

The two stood at the edge of the training field and immediately saw the scene inside.

Two figures were seen exchanging blows in the training field, their movements evenly matched.

Not far from the two of them, there was another person standing.

This person was wearing a black robe, had a short haircut, thick lips, and a stern look on his face.

He was observing the duel between the two people in the center of the training field when he suddenly looked up and caught a glimpse of two figures standing at the edge of the field.

Upon recognizing Hans as one of them, he immediately greeted him.

"Hans!"

When Hans realized that Yu Xiaogang had discovered him and Qi Dao, he naturally couldn't just leave with Qi Dao, but Qi Dao and Yu Xiaogang had a falling out.

Qi Dao saw his hesitation and smiled, "Dean Hans, go and say hello. I don't actually have any grudge against the 'Master,' do I?"

Upon hearing this, Hans immediately smiled.

"Alright, let's go say hello to Xiao Gang, and also Tang San and Xiao Wu."

"These two children truly deserve to be called geniuses with innate full soul power; they both broke through to level 20 a year ago."

"Speaking of which, I helped Tang San hunt down his second spirit ring. I hunted down a ghost vine that was over six hundred years old."

Upon hearing this, Qi Dao casually commented with two words.

"good!"

Hans didn't sense anything amiss when he heard Zidau's nonchalant comment.

Tang San and Xiao Wu are indeed both geniuses.

But Qi Dao is a prodigy who keeps creating miracles!

The two walked into the training field.

Yu Xiaogang's gaze first swept over Hans, and finally settled on Qi Dao.

A moment later, his pupils dilated, and he exclaimed, "Qi Dao!"

This sound immediately distracted Tang San, who was sparring with Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu seized the opportunity to exploit his weakness.

Xiao Wu flicked her scorpion tail braid, which wrapped around Tang San's neck. Then, she pressed close and subdued him in an instant.

"Hehe, mistress, I won this time!"

Tang San's neck was being strangled by the scorpion tail braid, and his face was flushed red.

"Xiao Wu, let go of me first!"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San's flushed face, stuck out her tongue, and then let go of him.

Tang San then stood up from the ground, but his gaze fell on Qi Dao, who was standing next to Hans.

Even after several years apart, he recognized Qi Dao at a glance.

"Hello, Senior Qi Dao!" Tang San nodded politely.

Xiao Wu was taken aback and looked at Qi Dao as well.

A moment later, she gasped in surprise.

"Yes, it's you!"

Although she and Qi Dao had barely met, she had a deep impression of Qi Dao because of the challenge she had given him.

Later, Qi Dao graduated early, and she was quite disappointed that she couldn't get revenge on him!

I never expected to see him again after so many years!

Tang San's thoughts were similar to Xiao Wu's.

Of course, with his magnanimity, he wouldn't hold a grudge just because he lost to Qi Dao for a time.

However, Qi Dao's outright refusal to accept Yu Xiaogang as a disciple caused Yu Xiaogang to lose face at Notting Academy.

As a disciple, Tang San naturally wanted to defeat Qi Dao to vindicate his teacher.

It would be incredibly foolish for outsiders to know that Qi Dao refused to become a disciple of his teacher.

Therefore, he wanted to defeat Qi Dao.

This wasn't for his own sake, but for his teacher's!
