Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is Golden Light, all I want is more money.

Chapter 12 Exchange Competition

Meng Shu was no stranger to this, having already played many exchange matches with other academies before. He nodded and asked, "Oh, an exchange match? Are there any age requirements?"

"Anyone under 20 years old is acceptable."

"When is the competition scheduled?"

"What do you think six years from now? I believe the exchange match between our two colleges will be very exciting, which will benefit both of us."

Saron was very confident, and even felt a faint sense of superiority.

Their academy's current top freshman is a 13-year-old Great Soul Master with a Soul Power level of 25.

Six years is enough time for him to grow into a high-level Soul Master, or even a Soul Sect Master.

Loklone was even confident enough to say that they were sure to win this game!

After weighing the options for a moment, Meng Shu decided to agree, but he still deliberately put on an attitude of disapproval.

Seeing that Meng Shu was somewhat hesitant, Salong, in order to make his academy's reputation known and to get noticed by those above, boldly declared, "My Barak Academy is willing to offer a thousand-year-old soul bone as the prize for this exchange competition."

Meng Shu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.

That's a big investment, but a big investment is good!

That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!

Although Meng Shu was overjoyed, he still put on a hesitant look, clearly wanting to get more prizes.

As the dean of Barak Academy, Salon could easily see through it, and he cursed the old fox in his heart.

But for the sake of the academy, he had no choice but to go.

"If Dean Meng Shu agrees, I am willing to offer another 1 gold soul coins as a private thank you gift."

As he finished speaking, Saron's heart was bleeding, but it was all for the sake of the academy.

At the same time, he didn't think his academy would lose; in fact, he was confident of victory!

Meng Shu nodded slightly: "In that case, our Beast Academy will participate."

After Saron left.

Meng Shu plopped down on the sofa, stroked his beard with one hand, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha……"

"Saron, Saron, though you've been proud all your life, you still have to stumble before me."

"Qin Feng, having you around is truly a blessing for this old man!"

They've produced such a monster on their side, what are Barak Academy supposed to do?

Does it have hair?

I'm afraid there aren't even one.

The exchange match was a sure thing!

A thousand-year-old soul bone, truly potent!

It's all good!!!

……

At this moment, Barak Academy was still happy that the Beast Academy had accepted their invitation, and they had even started popping champagne halfway through the event.

Barak Palace.

Salong strode briskly, looking refreshed, to meet the king.

King Barak was delighted to receive Saron. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two got straight to the point.

"Saron, have the rosters for the exchange match been finalized?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I have already invited the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Blue Tyrant Academy, Beast Academy, Azure Radiance Academy, Plant Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy... all of which are formidable opponents from previous Soul Master Tournaments."

As for why Star Luo Royal Academy wasn't invited, one reason is its distance, and another is that the current class of Heaven Dou Royal Academy is by no means weak.

"Well done! This time, we must make a name for our Barak Kingdom! I will invite all forces to come and watch. Don't let me down, Saron!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will certainly not allow them to tarnish the prestige of the Barak Kingdom!"

That's good.

King Barak glanced into the distance, already calculating in his mind how many talented commoner soul masters he could recruit in this exchange competition.

Although the Barak Kingdom is nominally an ally of the Heavenly Dou Empire, who would want to have another father figure above them?

A hint of madness flashed in King Barak's sinister eyes: "Hmph, you three major powers can host the entire continent's Soul Master Tournament without including me, so I can't just pay to invite the academy to host it myself?"

It should be noted that commoner Soul Masters have always been a major source of resources for various kingdoms.

In recent years, the three major powers, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall, have taken turns co-hosting the Continental Soul Master Exchange Competition.

This domineering behavior had long been a source of discontent for other kingdoms and duchies.

The Soul Master Exchange Tournament, organized by various factions, not only boosts the city's economy and generates tax revenue, but it's not just for simple exchanges or sparring.

The main purpose was to get a glimpse into the strength and talent of these new generation of Soul Masters.

If you have a background, that's fine.

If someone with no connections tries to win you over, would you dare refuse?

In this world, the law of the jungle prevails.

……

Beast Academy.

Dean of Students Alec Su is leading the freshmen in physical training.

Their training methods are not the barbaric stone-carrying of Shrek.

If you look closely, you'll notice that Alec Su's clothes are moving without any wind, and even have a faint purple glow.

This is his fourth soul skill: Gravity Enhancement.

The latest novel is first published here!

Unlike others who only do strength training, Qin Feng not only runs on the gravity field, but also pulls a 100-pound weight on his back.

He knew that having enough strength would only make him one of those clumsy, big guys in the gym.

This is what people call dead muscle.

Qin Feng's training method aims to balance strength with maximizing agility.

Alec Su looked around and finally his gaze fell on Qin Feng. Although he didn't know why Qin Feng was like this, he still praised his perseverance.

Others train so hard at almost seven years old, while the other fourteen or fifteen-year-olds on the field start slacking off as soon as you're not paying attention.

It made Alec Su extremely frustrated, but there was nothing he could do, since he wasn't their father.

Just then, a little silver-haired girl was running hurriedly towards them, about to step into the gravity field.

Fortunately, Alec Su was quick-witted and recognized that she was Dean Meng Shu's beloved granddaughter. He quickly stopped her, thus preventing a major accident.

That's three times the gravity! With Meng Yiran's physique, it would be strange if she didn't fall inside. If she got seriously injured, she might lose her newly promoted position as director.

Alec Su: "Meng Yiran, is there something you need? We're training here, so you'd better not get too close to the gravity field."

Meng Yiran's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was breathing heavily. Her bright eyes searched around the training field before settling on a small figure.

"Director Su, could you please call Qin Feng out for a moment?"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Alec Su nodded. He certainly wouldn't have agreed to it if it were someone else, after all, he's a person of principle.

At this moment, a tall boy next to Qin Feng patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and pointed into the distance: "Qin Feng, Director Su is calling for you."

Qin Feng nodded, then untied the weights on his back and walked away.

When she saw Qin Feng, Meng Yiran fidgeted with her skirt, looking hesitant to speak.

Upon seeing this, Alec Su immediately made a hasty retreat.

Qin Feng frowned: "Meng Yiran, if you have something to say, just say so. If not, I have to go back to training."

"No, no, something's wrong."

Meng Yiran seemed somewhat incoherent.

"Then just say what's on your mind."

Qin Feng just watched quietly.

Meng Yiran bowed to Qin Feng, her face, which had been slightly flushed, now flushed with extreme shame.

Perhaps it was because I lost face, or perhaps I felt how ridiculous I had been a few days ago.

"Qin Feng, I apologize for my previous willfulness. Now I would like to hire you as my personal training teammate."

"As compensation, I'll give you 500 gold soul coins every month..."
