Chapter 61 Get Him Done

Li Xun narrowed his eyes and began to haggle. He knew he absolutely couldn't flaunt his wealth in front of Flander, otherwise he would only end up spending more money.

"This crystal is the cheapest thing in my shop. If you're not buying it, then leave." The chair stopped, and Flander tilted his head back, remaining motionless.

"That's outrageous! No wonder he's a shrewd businessman. One gold soul coin can support an ordinary family for a month." Li Xun cursed under his breath, then took out one hundred gold soul coins from his soul tool and handed them to Flander: "Boss, this is for you."

"You don't have enough money." Before Li Xun could finish speaking, Flander said calmly.

Li Xun rolled his eyes. If he didn't want to steal the Golden Dragon Needle, he wouldn't bother with Flander.

This thing looks harmless but is extremely insidious. Even the Immovable King Zhao Wuji couldn't stand it. If a low-level Soul Master were shot into the eyes, spine, or other vital parts by this thing, he might suffer a fate worse than death.

Most importantly, Tang San should arrive soon, and he will not let this thing fall into the other party's hands.

"Boss, this is exactly one hundred gold soul coins." Li Xun pretended to be anxious. He was rich, but even if he had a lot of money, he shouldn't let Flander steal it from him like this.

We need to figure out a way to get rid of him.

Flander remained unmoved: "But I've changed my mind now. This crystal is worth two hundred gold soul coins. Take it or leave it."

"Fine, don't sell then!"

Li Xun was somewhat annoyed. "How can your Soto City be so greedy? Everything costs money. I only brought three hundred gold soul coins with me when I left home, and I was ripped off with one hundred of them as soon as I arrived here."

"Now you're going to smear me too?"

"That Shrek Academy is probably a shady school too. The tuition is a hundred gold soul coins a year. I guess all the schools in Soto City use the same tricks."

"I'd better go look around somewhere else, so I don't get ripped off and can't even afford a meal!" Li Xun said, turning around and leaving, while inadvertently revealing the soul tool on his wrist.

I began to silently count to two.

Hmm? This kid came here specifically for Shrek Academy.

Flander's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly stood up from the recliner, looking Li Xun up and down: "Hey! Kid, wait a minute."

Judging by his age, he certainly meets the admission standards for Shrek Academy. Moreover, his clothes are clearly not something an ordinary family's child could afford, and most importantly, he's wearing a golden bracelet soul tool on his wrist.

This whole outfit would probably cost at least ten or twenty thousand gold soul coins.

The family that can afford to spend so many gold soul coins to dress up a child must have a high-level soul master.

The offspring of high-level Soul Masters have a high chance of inheriting their talents, and this child may very well be qualified to enroll in Shrek Academy.

Flander thought of many things in an instant, and then activated the innate perception ability of his Cat-Owl Martial Soul to carefully listen to the fluctuations of soul power within Li Xun's body.

"Child, can you let me feel your bones?" Flander suppressed his inner elation.

Sensing the child's soul power fluctuations, it turned out he was a Soul Master of level thirty-seven or thirty-eight, and even younger than Dai Mubai.

He's a true genius!

The Cat-Owl Martial Soul has extremely sensitive hearing; at night, it can distinguish its surroundings by sound alone, without needing to see. Just now, it was by listening to the flow of soul power within Li Xun's body that it roughly judged Li Xun's soul power level.

"You're sick. If you don't want to sell, you don't have to let me touch you." Li Xun shook his head, turned his head, rolled his eyes at Flander, and continued walking towards the door.

Flander panicked and quickly stepped forward to block Li Xun's path: "Hey! Don't go! If you just let me touch this bone crystal, I'll sell it to you for a hundred... no... fifty gold soul coins."

"What a rip-off! Fifty gold soul coins? If you can lower the price, it proves you still have a profit. I don't want to be ripped off." After saying that, Li Xun was about to walk past Flander.

He wouldn't agree to give it away for free today.

"Hey! Child, to tell you the truth, I am the headmaster of Shrek Academy." Flander patted Li Xun's shoulder, then sighed, "Actually, it's not just you who thinks Soto City is expensive; even I'm almost unable to afford it."

"To be honest, the 100 gold soul coins you students pay when you enroll are not enough for your daily expenses. That's why I opened this shop to provide students with nutritious meals." Flander's hand gently kneaded Li Xun's shoulder, his heart pounding.

He discovered that Li Xun was only twelve years old.

Dai Mubai is fifteen years old this year, and a level 37 Soul Master is already considered a genius. What would a level 38 Soul Master be like at twelve years old?

This means that the other party is likely to be the fastest Soul Master to reach the Soul Venerable realm on the mainland, and will also hold the record for the fastest Soul Sect realm.

Further cultivation may depend on luck, but it is foreseeable that this child will become a powerful figure in the future.

Truly a monster among monsters.

Upon hearing Flander's complaint of poverty, Li Xun looked skeptical: "Really? I don't believe it!"

That's nonsense. Even if the Shrek Academy students' food expenses were calculated at ten gold soul coins per month, it would only amount to one hundred and twenty gold soul coins per year. That's enough for ten ordinary families to live on for a year.

Li Xun had reason to suspect that Flander opened the black market entirely for the sake of his apprentice, Ma Hongjun.

After all, a child has no source of income, so where would they get the money to go to brothels every day?

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Ah! I almost forgot, the Spirit Hall offers subsidies for Spirit Masters, but places like brothels must be very expensive, right? I wonder if the subsidies will be enough.

"Child, would I, a level 78 Soul Saint, lie to you?" Flander tried to calm his agitated emotions, summoning his Martial Soul. Seven Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—appeared beneath his feet simultaneously. "Since you want to join Shrek Academy, I'll give you this crystal for free. What do you say?"

"You're actually a Soul Saint!" Li Xun quickly feigned surprise and covered his mouth. "No wonder I heard that Shrek Academy can produce the elite of the elite."

"Of course." Flander proudly twisted his neck, pleased to hear those words.

"."

Li Xun hesitated for a moment, becoming somewhat awkward: "Let's forget it, Dean Flander. Shrek Academy is so strapped for cash that it can't even guarantee meals for its students. How could I possibly take your things for nothing?"

Flander laughed and quickly grabbed the crystal from the wall, stuffing it into Li Xun's arms: "Don't worry, kid, losing one crystal won't starve you."

He was genuinely happy; he hadn't expected that this child would be thinking about the college even before enrolling.

Flander patted Li Xun on the shoulder: "If you like these things, keep them. You don't need to worry about the rest. Judging by the time, the entrance exams are starting soon."

"Wait for me, I'll go pack my things and then I'll take you to the academy in a bit," Flander said with a smile, and quickly walked into the shop.

Why open a shop when you've harvested a monster among monsters?

Seeing Flander enter the shop, Li Xun stored the crystal in his soul tool and slowly backed away. Once he was at a suitable distance, he quickly turned and ran, simultaneously making a hand seal with one hand and disappearing from the spot in an instant.

Only a fool would go to Shrek Academy with you.

Li Xun used his teleportation technique and was already far away from the street in a few blinks.

I carefully surveyed my surroundings and inquired about the location of the Rose Hotel along the way. I quickly disappeared amidst the ambiguous glances of passersby.

"You little brat, how dare you lie to me!!"

A moment later, an extremely angry roar suddenly appeared in the sky above Soto City.

I overslept, sorry.
