Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 154 Xue Qinghe's Promised Reward

"And I have truly witnessed the scale of your esteemed academy today." As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the three upper sects, Ning Fengzhi was naturally well-versed in the affairs of the Broken Clan. However, the combat power displayed by Yang Wudi truly impressed him. A mere Soul Douluo, yet his combat strength was comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

"I wonder if your esteemed academy is interested in forming an alliance to jointly cope with the unpredictable future?" Ning Fengzhi extended an invitation to the Martial Arts Academy.

"Sect Leader Ning, thank you for your help when Martial Arts Academy was in crisis. We are not ungrateful. Martial Arts Academy is weak, and to have gained Sect Leader Ning's approval and reached a cooperation agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an honor for us."

"Hehehe, although your academy is a high-level soul master academy, if we really compare, I'm afraid even the four lower sects can't compete with your academy!" Before this, he never thought that one day, the high-level soul master academy that they had once looked down on or even disregarded could be compared with a sect like theirs.

"With your esteemed academy's strength, you could easily start your own faction. Why did you choose to establish an Advanced Soul Master Academy?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile.

Ning Fengzhi felt that this so-called advanced soul master academy was just a sect disguised as an academy.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yibai smiled and replied, "Sect Leader Ning, you flatter me. There are several reasons why our Martial Extreme Academy chose to establish an advanced Soul Master Academy instead of forming its own faction."

"Firstly, the academy is an important cradle for cultivating Soul Masters. We hope to cultivate more outstanding Soul Masters through education and inject new vitality into the Soul Master world of the continent. Establishing an academy is the best way to achieve this goal."

"Secondly, compared to sects, academies are more open and inclusive. We welcome Soul Masters from different backgrounds and forces to come and learn, and promote friendship and unity among Soul Masters through exchange and cooperation."

"Thirdly, the existence of the academy can provide us with a relatively stable environment, allowing us to focus on cultivation and teaching without getting too involved in the disputes and struggles between sects."

"."

Listening to Yun Yibai's eloquent speech, Ning Fengzhi maintained a smile on his face, but inwardly he thought, "That little fox!"

Ning Fengzhi didn't believe a word Yun Yibai said. If what Yun Yibai said was true, then Martial Arts Academy would only need one Dugu Bo at most.

The fact that Yun Yibai had gone to great lengths to bring Yang Wudi and others back to the Heaven Dou Empire was no secret to someone of his status and position.

He had gone to great lengths to recruit three single-attribute clans. If it were just a simple academy, he would rather believe that Xue Qinghe was a woman.

"Qinghe will also hold power in the Heavenly Dou Empire in the future. I hope that your esteemed institution can also cultivate more outstanding talents for the empire."

"His Highness the Crown Prince did not look down on me, Yun, who was in a dangerous situation, and even offered to help us. The Martial Academy will remember this kindness."

If this crown prince were truly Xue Qinghe, Yun Yibai wouldn't have been so quick to agree.

If it were the real Xue Qinghe, Yun Yibai might as well join the Spirit Hall. The real Xue Qinghe is no match for the Spirit Hall.

However, this crown prince is someone else. Helping the crown prince ascend to the throne would greatly weaken the power controlled by Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

With Bibi Dong's power weakened, he will have ample time to improve his cultivation. Strength is the true voice.

Martial Arts Academy needs to develop. Whether it's the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, or the Three Upper Sects, they are all, to some extent, obstacles that hinder the development and prosperity of Martial Arts Academy.

In a prosperous era, no one likes others to come and share the pie. The reason for having the upper three and lower four categories is to limit the number of people who can enjoy the benefits.

But in times of chaos, the cards are reshuffled and the spoils are redistributed.

Chaos marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Only in times of chaos can they find room to develop.

If it weren't for the Spirit Hall looming over the three upper sects and the two great empires, how could these forces have allowed the Martial Academy to become so powerful?

With the matter settled, the Martial Arts Academy members successfully returned to the Heavenly Dou Empire.

The Emperor Academy of the Heaven Dou Empire had already received news of Martial Academy's victory. Martial Academy, along with the other advanced soul master academies, had thoroughly brought him honor this time, and he generously bestowed lavish rewards.

The seven students from Wuji Academy all received the title of Earl and fiefdoms.

As for the reward that Xue Qinghe promised to Yun Yibai, Xue Qinghe originally wanted to promise a soul bone, but this was a reward that he made privately with Yun Yibai at the time, and Emperor Xue Ye was unaware of it.

After Xue Qinghe reported to Emperor Xue Ye, Emperor Xue Ye did not agree. The competition was already over, and their Heavenly Dou Empire's academy team had won the championship. Why should they have to pay such a high price?

However, Emperor Xueye still increased the rewards given to the Martial Arts Academy.

Emperor Xueye refused, but Xue Qinghe sincerely wanted to win over Yun Yibai. Just as he was thinking of giving Yun Yibai a soul bone as a reward, he remembered something: the treasure trove of the Heaven Dou Empire would be his after he ascended the throne.

He can give you whatever he wants then.

After receiving his reward at the Martial Arts Academy, as he was leaving the palace, Xue Qinghe sent someone to find Yun Yibai.

Yun Yibai followed the person who came to the Crown Prince's study.

"Your Highness!" Yun Yibai greeted Xue Qinghe with a cupped-hand salute.

"Here you are, do your work!" Xue Qinghe smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal.

"I wonder what business Your Highness has with me?" Yun Yibai accepted the tea offered by Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe was not overly concerned with hierarchy in private.

Xue Qinghe sat down opposite Yun Yibai and said to him, "I wonder if you still remember that I made a promise to you before the finals."

"If your Martial Arts Academy defeats the Spirit Hall and brings glory to the Empire, then I promise you a prize!"

"Then thank you very much, Your Highness!" Yun Yibai said, expressing his gratitude.

"However, something went wrong!" Xue Qinghe changed the subject.

"I originally wanted to ask my father for a soul bone as a reward."

"As you guessed, Father Emperor refused." Xue Qinghe deliberately summoned Yun Yibai to smear Emperor Xueye in front of Yun Yibai.

Xue Qinghe succeeded, and Yun Yibai was indeed unaware of his true purpose.

"I wonder if you're willing to wait a while. Once I ascend to the throne, I will be the one in charge of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and then I will deliver this belated reward to you!"

"There's no need to question me. I can clearly distinguish between the importance of a soul bone and the support of a future top powerhouse."
