Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 74 Thank you all for your trust

……

"Since Elder Xueye has so sincerely invited me to become the honorary dean of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, I naturally cannot let him down," Nan Feng said.

"Alright, in one hour, all teachers and students will assemble at the large training ground."

"Gather?" Meng Shenji was taken aback.

"Elder Nanfeng, it's getting dark, and not all students live on campus, and..."

"Do I look like I'm discussing this with you?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Given your attitude, you have 29 minutes and 40 seconds left in half an hour."

"..."

Whoosh!

The three education commissioners vanished from the office in an instant.

"At her age, she's still so immature..."

Nan Feng shook his head, got up, and walked out of the office.

……

Two and a half hours later.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's Grand Training Ground.

The group of teachers and students, who had been hastily summoned by the three education commissioners, were already getting impatient.

"What's with the airs? He's just a pretty boy from the Spirit Hall..."

Whispers gradually arose among the students, but none of them were pleasant.

After all, Nan Feng had never revealed his strength to the outside world. Not to mention his spirit rings, no one had ever seen his martial spirit.

Most people believe that Nan Feng's ability to wield influence in the Papal Palace is purely due to his relationship with the Pope; he's essentially living off his wife.

"Cough cough!" Hearing the noise in the line getting louder and louder, Meng Shenji, who was sitting in the Education Committee seat, coughed heavily twice.

The scene returned to calm.

"Could he be playing a trick on us?" Zhilin asked suspiciously.

"They said half an hour, but it's been almost three hours. If we wait any longer, it'll be midnight. Thousands of people are waiting for him. What's going on?"

"His Majesty said that whatever unreasonable request he makes, we should try our best to fulfill it," Meng Shenji said.

"Does he really have that much power?" Bai Baoshan asked doubtfully.

The Spirit Hall isn't some bandit den. How could it possibly attack the Heaven Dou Empire without a legitimate reason?

"The Pope and Chrysanthemum Demon, both titled Douluo, stormed into Heaven Dou City yesterday afternoon. We don't even know where they are now. Until they leave, we have to tolerate Elder Nanfeng's unreasonable behavior," Meng Shenji said.

"Do they still dare to make a move directly?" Bai Baoshan said.

"What I fear is not taking action, but Elder Nanfeng," Meng Shenji said quietly.

"Rumor has it that he's capable of anything—kidnapping, poisoning, threats—he doesn't care about using any underhanded methods. Your Majesty, that's what you're afraid of."

To be honest, the Heaven Dou Empire is not afraid of a direct war with the Spirit Hall. After all, their million-strong army is not to be underestimated. Although the Spirit Hall has many spirit masters, war is not a one-man show.

Soul Masters are individually strong, but few in number; the armies of the two great empires are individually weak, but numerous in number.

The combined forces of ten thousand men from the two great empires, along with their specialized Soul Master formations, would leave even a Title Douluo with nothing but regret.

Therefore, the Heaven Dou Empire is not afraid of a direct war with the Spirit Hall.

But the problem is, this Nan Feng is cunning!

The story of the First Elder and the Sixth Elder during the war between the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect is still widely debated, and the Clear Sky Sect has not given a clear explanation. However, anyone with a modicum of sense should know that the people of the Clear Sky Sect would never betray their own sect!

But if the First Elder and the Sixth Elder did not betray the Clear Sky Sect, then the one who colluded with the Spirit Hall would be Sect Master Tang Xiao!

Therefore, the Haotian Sect could neither admit nor deny that matter.

Admit it? Their own elders actually betrayed them on the battlefield? Then the Haotian Sect's momentum is likely to truly plummet to rock bottom, and they'll never be able to rise again.

Deny it? Wouldn't that mean that Sect Master Tang Xiao, with a formidable enemy at hand, was still preoccupied with internal strife and even willing to kill his own two elders?

Whether you admit it or not, you're making a mistake!

Such insidious methods are the main reason why all the major forces in the Soul Master world avoid Elder Nanfeng like the plague.

That guy is so cunning!

People are afraid of dying, but not that afraid. But if you run into this guy, you might not even know how you died!

He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

"Let me give you a heads-up too. When I went to the palace just now, I felt that His Majesty was already starting to suspect me," Meng Shenji said helplessly.

"Doubt?" Bai Baoshan's eyes twitched slightly.

Why?

"I want to know too," Meng Shenji sighed.

"But I can tell that His Majesty does suspect that I am colluding with this Elder Nanfeng."

The incident involving the Haotian Sect back then directly caused Emperor Xueye to become paranoid!

Over the years, Xueye has always suspected that the people around her have been bribed by Nanfeng, and she is always ready to stab him in the back!

People in the palace kept changing, one group after another leaving, especially after several princes had accidents one after another, Xueye's paranoia reached its peak!

He's suspicious all the time, always worried about this and that.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

At this rate, he felt he could scare himself to death on a snowy night!

"They're here," Bai Baoshan said.

On the side of the training ground, taking advantage of the time when the students were gathering, Nan Feng, who had gone to visit the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were acting as tour guides, arrived late.

Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, Nan Feng slowly walked up to the high platform and sat in his honorary dean's seat.

"Sorry, I didn't have dinner. I just grabbed a bite on the way here, so I'm late," Nan Feng said.

"Everyone, no objections, right?"

"Silence means no objection. Thank you for your understanding."

"..."

Everyone looked at Nan Feng with strange expressions.

No, did you fucking give us a chance to speak?

"Let me introduce myself. I am Nan Feng, the Chief Steward of the Papal Palace, concurrently serving as the Papal Secretary, the Elder of the Elders' Hall, the Ambassador of the Spirit Hall, the Councilor for the Revision of Penalties of the Spirit Hall, the Minister of the Spirit Hall's Soul Guidance Device Research and Development Department, the Minister of the Spirit Hall Academy's Education Department, and so on..."

"..."

Everyone stared blankly at Nan Feng, who rattled off a long list of part-time jobs.

So much work? Isn't this guy a gigolo?

"And today, I have gained another identity: Honorary Dean of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy," Nan Feng said.

"Here, I would like to thank Old Man Xueye for his support, the three members of the Education Committee for their support, Prince Xuexing for his support, His Highness the Crown Prince for his support, and thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules and coming to this godforsaken place late at night to listen to me ramble on like this."

"Thanks!"

*Clap clap clap clap clap!*

Led by Meng Shenji, thousands of teachers and students across the school clapped their hands with gritted teeth.

Perhaps because they were so unhappy, many people subconsciously used their soul power, which resulted in thunderous applause!

"Since everyone trusts me so much, I cannot let you down. Therefore, as the honorary dean, for a better tomorrow for the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, I hereby establish several school rules," Nan Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Meng Shenji and the other two sensed something was wrong and were about to speak up to stop him, but Nan Feng spoke first.

"First, starting today, tuition fees at Tiandou Royal Academy will increase by 200% to improve the academy environment and raise teacher salaries," Nan Feng said.

"Is everyone okay with that?"

"???"

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

Raising tuition fees? What kind of school rule is that?
