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

Chapter 70 Acquisition, Martial Arts Academy

"Senior Dugu prefers peace and quiet and dislikes trouble. If an advanced soul master academy is to be established, then the two of you will probably be needed to take on the role of dean."

"Cough cough cough, old rhinoceros! I still have a lot of medicines to refine, so you'll have to take over as dean for now!" Yang Wudi preemptively struck.

"Old Goat, you're quick to lose face about this!" Niu Gao said discontentedly.

The two of them tried to shirk their responsibilities, neither wanting to do the work. They both only wanted to work behind the scenes.

"There's no need for you two to do that. The dean can also be an official position; the specific tasks can be delegated to lower levels."

"That's good, that's good. Old Rhino, you hold on for now. We'll replace you when a suitable candidate comes along." Yang Wudi directly assigned this identity to Niu Gao.

"When will we establish the Advanced Soul Master Academy? And what about the teachers and students of the Advanced Soul Master Academy?"

Yun Yibai smiled mysteriously and said, "Isn't there a ready-made advanced Soul Master Academy in Haoyue City?"

"Are you talking about the Bright Moon Advanced Soul Master Academy, where the dean is only a Soul Emperor?"

"That's right, it's the advanced soul master academy named Haoyue in Haoyue City. This advanced soul master academy isn't ranked among the top advanced soul master academies on the entire continent, but even if it's bad, it's still an advanced soul master academy."

"It's ranked low now because it doesn't have us. With us, this college will experience a qualitative leap."

"Would the two of you be willing to accompany me tomorrow?"

"It's all our own business, why talk about whether it's troublesome or not?" Niu Gao waved his hand and said.

"For our shared cause, I offer you both tea instead of wine!" Yun Yibai raised his teacup.

"Hahaha, damn it!"

As Yun Yibai said, the academy is different from the sect. The academy's decisions are shared and can be made through joint discussion and voting, rather than being a one-man show like the sect.

Generally speaking, the suggestions made by the strongest person are rarely objected to by the others. That's the advantage of strength.

The following day, Yun Yibai, Dugu Yan, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao went to Haoyue Advanced Soul Master Academy in Haoyue City.

Haoyue Soul Master Academy is located in the south of Haoyue City. Because the academy's overall level is only so-so, and it lacks the support of any major power, its area is not large. The academy's total area is less than half the size of the commoner Blue Tyrant Academy founded by Liu Erlong.

Yun Yibai and the others successfully found the dean of Haoyue Soul Master Academy.

Li Changping, the dean of Haoyue Soul Master Academy, was also aware of the newly arrived Po Clan. The Po Clan was quite famous more than ten years ago, but they suddenly suffered a great calamity and have since disappeared from the public eye.

However, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; he was unaware of the current strength of the Po Clan. Did he not know the situation of the Po Clan more than ten years ago? The Po Clan had at least a Soul Saint-level expert, and a Soul Saint was not someone he, a Soul Emperor, could defeat.

"It is truly an honor for our Bright Moon Academy to have the patriarch of the Broken Clan and all distinguished guests grace us with your presence. We apologize for our lack of hospitality and hope you will forgive us." Li Changping spoke apologetically and humbly, but his eyes betrayed a hint of surprise and speculation.

To become the dean of an advanced soul master academy, one must be no ordinary person.

"Dean Li, you're too kind. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our unannounced visit." Yang Wudi stood tall and spoke in a loud voice, his tone polite. After all, he was there to acquire the company, so he couldn't be too forceful. However, Yang Wudi was still Yang Wudi; although he was mindful of his attitude, his words and tone were still rather direct and not very tactful.

"Chief Yang, you flatter us. It is an honor for our institute to receive your inquiry."

Li Changping's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with worry. He knew that for the patriarch of the Breaking Clan to personally come, this matter was no small thing. He suppressed his surprise and doubt, maintaining a polite smile on his face. Circumstances were beyond his control; after all, he was only a Soul Emperor!

His advanced jewel academy barely provides an education for a fair number of school-aged students!

The advanced Soul Master academies on the mainland are as numerous as carp among the noble ones; his Bright Moon Academy is nothing more than dust at the very bottom!

Yang Wudi's gaze lingered on Li Changping for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Dean Li, this is actually the first time we've met. If there's anything I've done wrong, I hope you'll forgive me."

"Let me formally introduce myself. I am Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Breaking Clan, and a level 82 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Douluo." Yang Wudi directly revealed his strength.

After saying that, he turned to Niu Gao beside him and said, "This is my longtime friend, Niu Quan, the patriarch of the Yu clan, who is also a defensive-type Battle Soul Douluo."

"These are my two juniors." Yang Wudi then pointed to Yun Yibai and briefly explained. Yun Yibai and Dugu Yan also greeted Li Changzhi.

"Chief Niu, my apologies! It is truly Li Changzhi's good fortune to have the opportunity to meet two seniors at the same time."

Li Changping responded politely on the surface, but inwardly he was in turmoil. Good heavens, two Soul Douluos! Moreover, they had never interacted with him before, so their sudden visit must have a deeper meaning. He forced himself to remain calm and smiled, "You have come from afar, so you must have important matters to discuss. However, I am rather dull-witted, and I hope Clan Chief Yang can enlighten me."

Seeing this, Yang Wudi stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Dean Li, the real reason we came here is to discuss something with your academy—we are interested in buying your Haoyue Academy."

Upon hearing this, Li Changping's heart trembled violently. Although he did not lose his composure on the surface, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes: "This..." He was speechless for a moment, his heart filled with mixed feelings, including shock, confusion, and uncertainty and worry about the future.

As the saying goes, circumstances are beyond one's control. He simply had no right to refuse. Refusing would be easy, but afterwards he would have to face two Soul Douluos and their families, a force that a dean with only Soul Emperor cultivation could not afford to offend.

"Ahem~" Li Changzhi chuckled awkwardly.

"That's not really a problem. It's just that you two have taken a liking to my Bright Moon Academy." He couldn't understand what his ordinary advanced soul master academy could have that would be worth their attention.

"Hahahaha!" Yang Wudi and Niu Gao exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.

"Our two families will also participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament this time. We have the people, but we're missing an academy."

Li Changzhi smiled bitterly to himself; so that was the reason.

"If that's the case, then your family members can definitely join our Haoyue Academy!" Li Changzhi made a last-ditch effort.

Yang Wudi: "Hehe! Dean Li, you seem to be talking a bit too much!"

Ultimately, Yang Wudi and his group took in the first advanced soul master academy.
