After all, Ling Bai was a (a ti or space traveler), and he was well aware that Huo Yuhao had broken the rules more than once during his growth. In the original story, Huo Yuhao had cheated at least in front of familiar faces like Patriarch Tang Ya and his roommate Wang Dong. So what did it an for him to brazenly cheat right in front of Ling Bai now?

Do you think we're both scoundrels?

Do you think I would naturally cover for you?

"I..."

Huo Yuhao's facial muscles tightened. Compared to the vicious servants in the White Tiger Duke's Manor who only roared and cursed, the pressure Ling Bai brought was undoubtedly terrifying, like a mountain collapsing and the sea swallowing everything. Just sitting there, Ling Bai seed like a bottomless black well that could swallow you whole, skin and bones.

Huo Yuhao only t Ling Bai's golden eyes for a second, but it felt like he was being pierced by a sharp sword. Compared to his usual calm and composed deanor, Ling Bai now radiated a sharp, cutting edge.

"Bah!"

Wu Feng spat fiercely, her eyes filled with disdain for Huo Yuhao. She, who was usually pampered, had never liked Huo Yuhao much, and now she felt nothing but contempt for him.

Ning Tian remained composed. While Wu Feng could speak her mind without restraint, Ning Tian could not, as her every word and action represented the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. Huo Yuhao was a disciple of the Tang Sect, and the thousand-year friendship between the two sects required her to maintain a surface-level friendliness.

"Xiao Yu Hao, you..."

Tang Ya was flustered. If this incident beca public, Huo Yuhao's reputation would plumt.

Huo Yuhao endured the pain from his Spirit Eye and Spirit Sea, and said painfully, "Teacher Xiao Ya, I wanted to help Master Brother win. And Brother Ling, Xu San Shi took your roasted fish. By helping Master Brother win, I was also avenging you!"

Before using ntal Detection Sharing, Huo Yuhao had considered the possibility of being discovered by Ling Bai. He thought Ling Bai would tacitly accept it because, compared to Xu San Shi, Ling Bai would naturally favor Bei Bei.

Huo Yuhao racked his brains but could not figure out why Ling Bai had intervened.

The beautiful evening glow dyed the sky red. Ling Bai's golden eyes now held a coldness, and he said, "Help? You really live up to the na of a proficient translator..."

Ling Bai gazed at Huo Yuhao, hoping to see a hint of remorse in his eyes. Unfortunately, all he saw was determination and doubt.

"Huo Yuhao, the grudges between Xu San Shi and are settled. You have no right to 'avenge' . Bei Bei and Xu San Shi are having a fair duel, and it's not your place to interfere and break the rules.

Talent isn't everything, and a low soul power isn't a big deal. These can be compensated for with good fortune. But if a person has no sense of sha, then they are truly beyond saving. Even a rat has a skin, but a man without manners.

Huo Yuhao, between ability and face, you should at least keep one for yourself."

They looked at each other, but all that remained was disappointnt.

Ling Bai gave a final glance at Huo Yuhao, who was clenching his teeth, and Tang Ya, whose face was flushed with sha. He shook his head and said, "Wu Feng, Ning Tian, there's no need to stay and watch. Let's go."

"Okay."

Ling Bai stood up first, followed by Ning Tian and Wu Feng, and the three of them left the Soul Duel Arena.

Standing on the wide avenue of Shrek Academy, Ling Bai looked toward the southwestern direction, where the night lights of Shrek City reflected in his clear golden eyes, shimring like the brilliant stars in the sky.

"Brother Bai, are you angry?"

Ning Tian tugged at Ling Bai's sleeve, asking cautiously.

Before Ling Bai could respond, Wu Feng gave a serious piece of advice, "Brother Bai, it's not worth getting angry over trash. My suggestion is to go out and find sothing good to eat."

Bang!

A dull thud followed, and Wu Feng instantly cried out in pain, crouching down and clutching her head.

Ling Bai blew on his fist and turned his head, saying, "No respect, calling 'Brother Bai.' But you did say sothing right this ti. Huo Yuhao's petty affairs aren't worth worrying

about.

I rarely see him in the Inner Academy, and you two might run into him from ti to ti. Just treat him like a stranger from now on."

Ning Tian nodded slightly. She had once considered whether to show Huo Yuhao so favor due to the Tang Sect's face, but now it was unnecessary.

"By the way, Xiao Tian, how's the mission the Sect Master gave you coming along?"

Ling Bai rembered an important matter.

The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower, was known as the best auxiliary martial soul, but it had no combat capability and relied heavily on powerful external soul masters for protection.

Was there any place in the Douluo Continent where one could more easily et outstanding soul masters than Shrek Academy?

The answer was no.

Therefore, each generation of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower sent their direct disciples to Shrek Academy to train themselves and to recruit young geniuses early, providing future protectors for the sect.

As the young master of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, Ning Tian naturally took on this arduous task.

ntioning the matter, Ning Tian imdiately put on a serious face and recounted, "Brother

Bai, over the past two days, I've been inquiring about the martial souls and soul power of the students in various classes. I found that the overall talent is much stronger than in my mother's generation. Besides , there are already two geniuses who have broken the

thirtieth level of soul power at the age of eleven!

I've only managed to recruit one student with a relatively ordinary background, a female soul

master with the Jade Greenbird martial soul, Nann Yun'er."

"Hm, have you started approaching the two soul emperors?" Ling Bai asked.

"I'm about to. One of them, Dai Huabin, cos from the Star Luo Empire's White Tiger Duke's Manor, so there's no way our sect can attract him. The other, a defensive soul emperor with the Papi Elephant martial soul, Xie Huan Yue, I can try my best to recruit!"

Ling Bai pondered for a mont and then slowly said, "Xiao Tian, I'll tell you about a few people. They are the more talented students of this year's intake, and they should be your

main targets.

Xiao Xiao with the Three Lives Soul Suppressing Cauldron, Xie Huan Yue with the Papi

Elephant, the long-haired twins Lan Susu and Lan Luolu, Zhong Cao Jinxuan with the Ti Flows On, Zhou Sichen with the Treasure Manual, Cui Yajie with the Nine-Tailed Fox, and Huang Chutian with the Mighty God Ape."

Ning Tian silently morized their nas, but then she noticed that soone she had expected to be on the list was missing. She asked curiously, "Brother Bai, there's a genius student in the first-year class with the Light Goddess Butterfly martial soul, Wang Dong. I

was thinking..."

"No, you're not!"

Ling Bai instantly extended two fingers in an OK sign and pinched her lips, unusually serious, "That guy is a descendant of the Hao Tian Sect. You must stay away from him!"

The daughter of the Tang Divine King!

Only Huo Yuhao could survive such entanglents, and Ling Bai absolutely could not let Ning

Tian get involved in this ss!

"Okay, okay!"

Ning Tian nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken. Seeing this, Ling Bai quickly released her before Wu Feng could pounce and bite him, and he handed her two white jade bottles. "Xuan Water Pill. Use it to recruit external geniuses. Give one to Xie Huan Yue. Students with ordinary backgrounds but extraordinary talent are very suitable for the Nine Treasures Crystal

Tower."

"Alright."

Ning Tian imdiately agreed. A re Xuan Water Pill, worth only ten thousand Golden Soul Coins, was nothing to the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. They always bought them by the box!

Eat freely! Give freely!
