Douluo Continent: I Have a Nameless Law

Although there are some small private schools in various places, this is far from enough.

Although the great power in Douluo Continent is attributed to oneself, the power system is actually not very large. The role of ordinary people is also crucial, especially in terms of productivity.

Ask yourself, if a Soul Master could simply sit at home, meditate, and grow stronger to obtain what they want, would they honestly choose to farm or work on a construction site?

It's not that there's absolutely none, but over 95% of people wouldn't do it.

Gu Han built this school specifically for commoner children, mainly to teach them to recognize characters, do arithmetic, and some basic livelihood skills. Of course, he also told them about the great achievements of the Spirit Hall over the past ten thousand years.

In this way, after the unification of the world, these common people will have a much stronger sense of belonging, thus avoiding the situation where, after the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the people of the six states would rebel at the mere call of the former nobles.

Of course, once people learn to read, they can easily understand any matter by simply writing it down on a piece of paper, making management much more convenient.

Although it's unclear how effective this method will be, it's certainly better than doing nothing.

Moreover, the longer the school is established, the more benefits it will provide.

As for allowing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to invest, the main reason is that the Spirit Hall doesn't really have enough money to build schools all over the continent, and those schools are mainly for children who can't cultivate.

As for the two great empires, they were already unhappy enough with the Spirit Hall forcing them to give gold coins to commoner spirit masters. To ask them to fund the construction of schools, especially for commoner children who were of no value in their eyes, was absurd. Regardless of whether their national treasuries had that much money, they would definitely not agree.

Putting aside the two great empires, Ning Fengzhi expressed doubts after Gu Han brought up this matter.

"Brother Gu, almost every city in these two great empires has a Soul Master Academy. Wouldn't it be redundant for the Spirit Hall to establish one as well?"

“That’s right, Xiao Han. The Spirit Hall is already spending a lot of money to awaken the spirits of ordinary people on the continent for free. After these children awaken, they can attend local junior colleges and then be recruited later. Why go through all this trouble?” Chen Xin was equally puzzled.

"Haha, Master, Brother Fengzhi, you've misunderstood. This school wasn't built for Soul Masters, but for all the people of the world."

"Built for all the people in the world?" Ning Fengzhi's expression froze, and he said, "Brother Gu, you are not a great sage, this is not like you."

Chen Xin also had a solemn expression and reminded him, "Xiao Han, regardless of what you want to do, just think about how much it costs to build schools across the entire continent. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is known as being richer than a country, even if you include the Spirit Hall, they don't have the funds."

Upon hearing this, Gu Han chuckled and waved his hand: "Brother Fengzhi, Master, I think you've misunderstood. Building a school is indeed quite expensive, but I never said I wanted to build it all at once."

“Let’s start around the Spirit Hall and take it slow. This is a huge project that can’t be completed overnight.”

"Brother Fengzhi, how about it? Want to join us? This is a great act of kindness that benefits the world."

"This"

Ning Fengzhi opened his mouth, then hesitated. Looking at Gu Han's smiling eyes, he felt that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Gu Han didn't urge Ning Fengzhi, after all, this was no small expense. As the head of a sect, Ning Fengzhi had many things to consider and couldn't make such a big decision on a whim.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi hesitate, Chen Xin did not speak up to make a decision for him. After all, he was only responsible for protecting the sect's safety and fighting; the decision-making was still up to the sect leader.

Upon reaching the summit, Ning Fengzhi finally spoke again.

“Brother Gu, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot help the Spirit Hall much with its financial resources, since it is a matter that benefits the people of the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will naturally do its part.”

Ning Fengzhi's words were very carefully chosen. They showed his commitment to the virtuous persona he had created for himself, but he didn't specify how much help he would provide. Ultimately, the amount of money he would contribute was up to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Gu Han didn't expose him, and said with a smile, "Then on behalf of the future students, I would like to thank Brother Fengzhi for his investment."

At the same time, he secretly gave himself a thumbs-up, saving the Spirit Hall another penny.

Chapter 259 Ning Fengzhi's Probing, Discussion

The three arrived at the small courtyard on the mountaintop, and Gu Han said, "This is where I am staying temporarily. It's a bit simple, so please don't mind, Brother Fengzhi and Master."

"Haha, Brother Gu, what are you saying? Uncle Jian and I aren't that pretentious."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and waved his hand. Soul Masters always have to go out and hunt soul beasts. Although Ning Fengzhi is the head of a sect and can sit back and wait for soul beasts to be caught, as the successor of a sect, the experience in his youth is essential.

Moreover, the cost of capturing soul beasts is too high, especially for ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts; an accident can easily occur if one is not careful.

It's safer to kill and absorb them on the spot.

Just like the soul beast that Emperor Xingluo prepared for his ninth soul ring, it was intercepted halfway, and seven Soul Saints were lost. The culprit has not been found to this day.

"Please come in."

Gu Han pushed open the door and gestured for the two to enter.

Ning Fengzhi also reached out his hand, and Chen Xin smiled and nodded.

The three of them stepped across the threshold and were greeted by Ah Yin and the two little ones sitting at the dining table in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Ah Yin, Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed a hint of doubt, while Chen Xin's gaze sharpened, and he slightly moved his lips to tell Ning Fengzhi about Ah Yin's identity as a soul beast.

Similarly, upon learning Ah Yin's identity, Ning Fengzhi's gaze suddenly sharpened and focused on Ah Yin.

Noticing Chen Xin's gaze, A Yin froze, lowered her head, and dared not meet his eyes, her body trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Gu Han said, "Brother Fengzhi, Master, I brought this back from outside. It was prepared for Senior Sister."

Hearing this, the two turned their gaze away from Ah Yin, and Chen Xin laughed and said, "You kid, you're lucky. You even managed to encounter a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form."

"Haha, Master, let's not talk about these things for now. Let's go inside and have some tea and chat."

Gu Han also took care of A Yin's feelings, leading the two of them inside. He didn't ask them to make tea or anything, but did it himself.

Ning Fengzhi sat in his chair, picked up the teacup on the tea table beside him, took a sip, and then looked at Gu Han opposite him after putting the teacup back in its place.

“Brother Gu, I have thought about it a lot, but I really don’t understand why you want to build schools for those commoners. They are not Soul Masters, so even if they learn knowledge, it won’t be of much use.”

"Forgive my limited understanding, but would you be willing to enlighten me?"

Gu Han slowly put down his teacup. Faced with their doubts, he couldn't possibly tell them the truth, so he slowly lied and said, "There's no reason, it's all for becoming a god."

"Becoming a god?"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were puzzled.

“That’s right. To become a god, one must perform great deeds for the world. The Spirit Hall has done a good job in this regard, so I need to find another way.”

"Faith? Legend has it that the Angel God gained the reverence of all people by vanquishing evil spirits and bringing peace to the continent, and eventually became a god. Xiao Han, do you want to follow the path of the Angel God?"

Chen Xin's family has a long history of learning and knows about the story of the angel god. Although he doesn't know if it's true or not, there is such a story.

"I'm not entirely sure if it will work out, but what needs to be done still needs to be done." Gu Han shook his head.

"So that's how it is, a great achievement for the world?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded inwardly. It seemed that these commoners were not entirely useless, but their usefulness was ineffective for most people.

After all, according to Uncle Jian, the most basic requirement for becoming a god at level 100 is to reach level 99 first.

Given Gu Han's current cultivation progress, reaching level 99 is undoubtedly a certainty. He is very young and has plenty of time to collect the merits and faith mentioned by the other party. Becoming a god in the future may not be impossible.

The word "god" was too distant and unfamiliar to Ning Fengzhi.

However, Ning Fengzhi no longer doubts the existence of God.

"However, since this is a great service to the world, isn't a mere school enough?"

Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on Gu Han's eyes with a sharp glint in them.

"Brother Gu, what is your true purpose?"

Now, Gu Han's primordial spirit dominates his consciousness, and he is in complete control of his emotions and desires, rather than being controlled by them. His expression remains unchanged, his eyes are clear, and no emotional fluctuations can be seen. He chuckles lightly.

"Brother Fengzhi, you're overthinking it."

"No, my intuition is right. If Brother Gu acknowledges me as his elder brother, tell me what grand ambitions you have, and I will do everything in my power to help you!"

If Ning Fengzhi hadn't known Gu Han's purpose before, he would have hesitated, but now that it concerns the person most likely to become a god in ten thousand years, he felt he could take the gamble.

If successful, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's contribution to assisting the gods, though it may not reach the heights of the Spirit Hall for nearly ten thousand years, will certainly be able to maintain its status as a first-rate power in the world for several thousand years.

If Gu Han had not become a god, then for the next few hundred years, the other party could have protected the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from harm while he was alive, thanks to the school's help.

"Xiao Han, let's not beat around the bush. Do you have something bigger planned? If you really want to do something, just say it, and I will naturally do my best to help you!"

Chen Xin then spoke up. Feng Zhi's question meant that he had discovered a deeper meaning and was also expressing his opinion.

On the surface, the two are master and disciple, but in Chen Xin's own view, their relationship is more like that of a teacher and friend, a friendship that transcends age.

Of course, Gu Han respected Chen Xin as his master. However, respect was one thing, but they were not from the same faction, and there were some things that needed to be distinguished between public and private matters.

However, given their attitude, Gu Han couldn't directly deny it. After thinking for a moment, he said tactfully, "Brother Fengzhi, Master, I know your intentions. What you said is indeed true, Brother Fengzhi. I do have other purposes, but now is not the time to tell you."

"I also hope you can understand me. When the time comes, I will naturally tell Brother Fengzhi and Master everything."

This is a tacit admission, but he can't say what exactly he'll do right now.

It's not that I don't believe it, but that I can't.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled and gestured to Chen Xin that she could stop asking questions. He then looked at Gu Han and smiled elegantly.

"Since Brother Gu feels that it is not the right time yet, then I will not ask any further. Let's talk about the construction of the school first. Where do you plan to start?"

"Naturally, we'll start with towns near Wuhun City. If Brother Fengzhi doesn't mind, we can also build in the villages around Qibao City."

"Haha, in that case, let's start near Wuhun City and Qibao City first."

A glint flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He wasn't worried about the Spirit Hall Academy being built near his sect; on the contrary, it would make it easier for him to conduct his investigation.

Gu Han wasn't worried that Ning Fengzhi would be able to detect anything, since it was something Ning Fengzhi couldn't stop, and Ning Fengzhi wouldn't dare to either.

After all, this era is not the time when Tang San will live in the future. The main reason why Ning Fengzhi clearly took sides in the original work was that the Spirit Hall made the first move. Before, he only said that the three sects were united, but he did not dare to really offend the Spirit Hall. Of course, Ning Rongrong was also partly responsible for this.

Things are different now. There is no Tang San, no Ning Rongrong, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall have deep-rooted interests. Given the other party's opportunistic and risk-averse nature, they will not take the initiative to oppose the Spirit Hall.

Afterwards, Gu Han and Ning Fengzhi discussed in detail the matter of jointly building a school for ordinary people.

Chenxin didn't understand much about this, so he didn't interrupt and just sat there drinking tea and listening.

Chapter 260 It's a pity such a talented person is not from our sect.

Just as Gu Han and Ning Fengzhi had finished discussing the matter, a small blond head slowly peeked out from outside the door.

Chen Xin noticed the child, who had blonde hair, wore a platinum dress, and had large, sapphire-like eyes that seemed to sparkle with stars. Her chubby little face was very cute.

When he saw Chen Xin looking at him, he quickly shrank back.

Outside the door, Xiao Qianrenxue gestured for the little golden lion behind her to be quiet.

"Brother Gu, that young lady must be His Holiness the Pope's daughter, right?" Ning Fengzhi asked with a smile. It seemed like he was asking a question, but in fact, Ning Fengzhi recognized her the moment he saw her.

"Yes, Master and Mistress work hard day and night, and Senior Sister is not here either, so I'm the only one who can take care of this child."

Gu Han smiled and stood up, walked outside, looked at the clever little girl whispering to the little golden lion, and said, "Xue'er, be good, you play with the little golden lion in the yard first, and I'll take you back to the city to buy candy later."
