Chapter 29: The Tiger and the Longbow (2-in-1 Chapter)
After searching for a period of time to no avail, Oscar returned to the meeting point agreed with Dai Mubai and the others.
After all, the scope of a city is too large, and it is normal to find no target when you search for it for the first time.
At this time, Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing and the other four also returned here at this time.
"It seems that nothing has been gained from all the same." Oscar muttered.
"How can it be so easy to find someone, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Sivir City (here it is calculated according to the standard of the ancient big city, considering the special nature of the Douluo Continent, even a small city like Sivel City is calculated according to the population standard of the ancient big city), if you can find it all at once, then it is really quite lucky." Dai Mubai shook his head and said.
"Then let's eat something to replenish our strength." Oscar said with a grin.
Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, who had been cold on the side, without a trace, and immediately nodded, "Okay, today is the first time you have officially joined our academy, so I will treat you." ”
"Boss Dai, it's rare for you to be generous today." Oscar said in surprise.
Dai Mubai's eyes suddenly glared evilly, "It's like I'm usually not good to you, isn't it good to eat honestly?" ”
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing said with a cold face, "No need, I'll pay the bill myself." ”
Then she herself took the lead and walked into the restaurant in front.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai was quite helpless.
But he won't let him not treat him because Zhu Zhuqing doesn't buy it.
He said to Tang San and Xiao Wu, "Tang Yin, Xiao Wu, then let's go in and have lunch first." ”
Randomly, a group of people walked into the restaurant together.
After entering the restaurant, Tang San found that Zhu Zhu was sitting at a table early in the morning.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing are now roommates, and the two girls can be regarded as closer after a night of getting along, and suddenly she came to Zhu Zhuqing's side, "Zhuqing, let's sit together." ”
After all, Zhu Zhuqing only looked a little cold on the surface, but after all, he did not refuse Xiao Wu's suggestion.
Suddenly, Dai Mubai saw the stitches and came to the table as well, but he didn't get an inch, he just sat opposite Zhu Zhuqing and didn't sit beside her.
"Ladies and gentlemen! What do you want to do? The waiter asked as he stepped forward with the menu.
"That's all...... These and these. Dai Mubai generously ordered several expensive dishes, and then sent the waiter away.
"Everyone is tired today, and if you want to find a girl, it will take a lot of time, so you don't need to be polite to me." After the dishes came, Dai Mubai greeted heroically.
Xiao Wu suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, didn't Ma Hongjun do anything wrong in this matter?" Why are we bothering that girl. ”
After all, she still has a little conscience in her heart, knowing that Ma Hongjun was wrong in this matter, and Shrek Academy couldn't take care of it at all.
In other words, if Ma Hongjun harassed her, she estimated that she would directly explode the eight-stage fall and paralyze Ma Hongjun.
So, on the whole, she still thinks it's quite inappropriate.
"We didn't go to bully that girl, I don't beat women." Dai Mubai glared, "But our people from Shrek Academy have been bullied, we just have to find a place to get back, and...... It's just right for her to see the strength of our Shrek Academy, and it's also a good thing to invite her to join our academy when the time comes. ”
"That Ma Hongjun is here, will she join?" Xiao Wu said in disgust.
"Didn't you say that? The fat man also has a hard time, and he has never forced girls, this time...... Maybe I really met the girl I liked, so I was in a hurry, isn't this understandable? Dai Mubai said with a different concept.
"And is our academy poor?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things first, let's eat!" Oscar hurriedly said on the side.
"Xiao Wu, let's eat first." Tang San immediately said with a smile.
Suddenly, everyone in Shrek Academy began to solve the problem of food and clothing in their stomachs.
After a big meal, Tang San said to Dai Mubai: "Mubai, we are all newcomers, tell us about the rules and courses in the academy." ”
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing stood up and said coldly, "I'm full." ”
Then she turned away.
Dai Mubai stretched out his hand and stopped talking, but he didn't stop her after all.
Oscar looked at Dai Mubai with some incredulity, and whispered, "Boss Dai, isn't you known as an invincible girl in the female crowd and a girl killer?" Why doesn't this new beautiful girl even want to look at you more? ”
Dai Mubai smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't explain.
Dai Mubai reluctantly withdrew his mind from Zhu Zhuqing and said, "There are no special rules in the academy. To put it simply, you can't burn sand and plunder, but you can encourage fighting and gambling. ”
A smile appeared on Tang San's face, Shrek Academy was indeed different from the teaching methods of ordinary colleges.
Dai Mubai explained: "The teachers believe that fighting is the best shortcut to master their martial spirits, and it is extremely important to enhance their actual combat experience. Gambling is a game in the heart, which is of great benefit to enhance psychological quality and enhance one's own observation and judgment. Of course, everything has to be done in moderation. To put it simply, you can't kill people in battle, and it's okay to gamble and don't lose your pants. ”
"As for the course schedule, I don't know in the future, because our courses are subject to change at any time, after all, there are only a few of us, and the number of teachers is even more than our students. Therefore, the college will adjust the curriculum according to our individual circumstances. But I can be sure that the most important thing in today's course is to collect money. The annual tuition fee of the college is one hundred gold coins. For all of you to be soul masters at the Great Soul Master level, there shouldn't be any problems. ”
Hearing Dai Mubai say this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but interject: "Boss Dai, you said yesterday that the school was very poor. But why is the college poor? Several of the teachers we met were in their sixties and seventy-something. Judging from the level, the subsidy they can receive from the Martial Spirit Hall is astronomical in itself, and it shouldn't be a big deal to support such a small academy. ”
According to Xiao Wu's speculation, the subsidy of the soul master is one gold coin a month, the great soul master is ten gold coins, and when he reaches the soul venerable, it should be one hundred gold coins, the soul sect is one thousand, the soul king is ten thousand, and the soul emperor should be one hundred thousand gold soul coins a month. Not to mention the Zao Wou-Ki they faced yesterday, it was the existence of the Soul Saint, one million gold coins a month, it was a terrifying number to think about.
Dai Mubai shook his head and said, "If it's like you said, of course the academy doesn't need to worry about any income issues. But this is not the case. The subsidies given by the Wuhun Hall are all allocated by the empire and issued by the Wuhun Palace. The subsidy is only given to the Soul Venerable level. Receive a hundred gold coins a month, just like I do now. After exceeding the Soul Venerable level, not only will the subsidy not increase, but it will also disappear. In other words, including the Soul Sect, soul masters above the Soul Sect cannot receive any subsidies from the Soul Palace. Every month when you go to the Wuhun Hall to receive the subsidy, there will be a soul power test. That is to determine whether your soul power exceeds level 40, and once it exceeds level 40, the subsidy will stop immediately. ”
This time, even Tang San couldn't help but be curious, "Why is this happening?" The higher the strength of the soul master, the more valuable it is. ”
Dai Mubai said: "However, this must be based on reality. Although soul masters are noble professions, there are not many real soul masters. But it's still not too small. You should have also calculated that if the subsidy is distributed according to the proportion, when you reach the Soul Saint level, the subsidy you receive in a month is 100,000 gold soul coins, and a year is 1.2 million gold soul coins. That's a huge number? Needless to say, if the subsidy is received according to the strength of the teachers of our academy, if the empire pays it in full, the income of the teachers of our academy will be able to catch up with one-tenth of the total national income of Sivir City in a year. That's a huge number? In the entire empire, although the number of high-level soul masters is small, the subsidy issued in this way is enough to drag the entire empire down. ”
So this is actually a living allowance for low-level soul masters, and high-level soul masters such as Lu Yuan and above soul masters have to find their own way out.
And these are things that Tang San and Xiao Wu, who have not yet reached that level, do not know.
"Therefore, the empire stipulates that the subsidy is only to encourage and help low-level soul masters to cultivate in order to improve their strength as soon as possible. But at level forty or above, even if he is a quite powerful soul master, he can choose to be loyal to the empire or join the army. In that case, the Empire will pay you accordingly. Of course, soul masters also have the right to choose freely, and they can also get a lot of income by investing in certain families. ”
Speaking of this, Dai Mubai's face showed a look of admiration, "And all the teachers in our academy are soul masters who are unwilling to take refuge under any strength, that is to say, before the establishment of the academy, they were all single-minded. They love freedom and hate bondage. Even the knighthoods given by the Empire were dismissive. Think about it, what income can they have in such a situation? ”
Xiao Wu asked, "Why don't you want to get the knighthood offered by the Empire?" It seems that with a knighthood, there should be a certain amount of income. I remember that if you are above level 30, you can get the title of barony sealed by the Empire, and level 40 is a viscount. And then there will be none. ”
Dai Mubai suddenly said, "Accepting the title of the empire, there is also the obligation to serve the empire, once there is a war, under the signs of the empire, as a nobleman of the empire, you must follow the orders of the empire to go to the battlefield." Although the title of nobility is good, it is also a restrictive spell. Many powerful soul masters will not accept the title of nobility, because they don't want to work for one side of the force casually. ”
At that moment, a flash of red suddenly swept across the corner of his eye.
Dai Mubai suddenly looked over and found that ...... Not far from them, a beautiful girl with long red hair and a high ponytail appeared.
Oscar suddenly saw this scene, looked at the girl's delicate and beautiful appearance, and suddenly exclaimed, "The fat man is really right." ”
When they asked Ma Hongjun to describe the girl's appearance in the academy before, Ma Hongjun couldn't describe anything other than that the girl had red hair and a ponytail.
But he said that if Dai Mubai and the others saw an indescribably beautiful red-haired girl, it would be her.
Originally, Dai Mubai and Oscar also wanted to say that there are many beautiful girls, so it should be quite difficult to find.
Now it seems that the red-haired girl in front of her is really not ordinarily beautiful.
At least with Dai Mubai's previous temperament, it is estimated that he will come forward to hook up.
"Boss Dai, do you want to do it?" Tang San also saw the red-haired girl at this time, and immediately asked.
"Let's go! Let's go up! Dai Mubai nodded suddenly, then got up and led everyone forward.
……
Yan Zhuyin and Lu Yuan came to find a restaurant to eat together, but they were only temporarily separated from Lu Yuan.
The reason is because...... Ning Rongrong had bought too many things, and it had reached the point where her soul guide couldn't fit it.
Ning Rongrong left in a hurry this time, without any preparation at all, and only took a soul guide.
However, she still wanted to continue shopping, so she asked Lu Yuan to help get things.
Yan Zhuyin came here to book lunch and prepare for a big meal.
At that moment, she felt several breaths come to her.
Yan Zhuyin turned around and found several people she didn't know, the first of which was a man with heavy eyes with shoulder-length blond hair.
Although she had seen Xiao Wu, a few years had passed, and she didn't quite remember Xiao Wu's appearance, after all, they were just a quick glimpse four years ago.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were the same, they didn't remember the girl who followed Lu Yuan four years ago but never spoke.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, Oscar and others surrounded him.
“?” Her cold eyes showed a hint of confusion.
"This young lady, do you remember that yesterday you injured a ...... Fat? Dai Mubai said suddenly.
"Is that guy?" Yan Zhuyin suddenly remembered, and then his face became even colder, "So you're here to help him take revenge?" ”
"We're his friends." Dai Mubai shook his head at this time and said, "He was injured by you, although this is his fault first, but you shouldn't be so heavy-handed." ”
"Sure enough, things gather like people, and people divide into groups." Yan Zhuyin said coldly, "Garbage will only gather with garbage. ”
In her eyes, a yin stick like Ma Hongjun, who has been in the Ji courtyard since he was a child, his friends must also be villains who burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil.
This is also the thinking of most people, if there is a bad person in a group of people, then that group of people is basically not a good person.
"Anyway, you hurt my friend, and I'm going to ask for an explanation no matter what happens today." Dai Mubai said in a deep voice at this time.
"It's just up to a few of you ......" Yan Zhuyin paused for a moment, and then thought of what Lu Yuan had said, "...... Crooked melons and rotten dates, just want to ask for an explanation? ”
Dai Mubai's eyes suddenly lit up, "Don't get me wrong, even if you hurt my friend, I won't bully more than I can!" Just me and you! See you here! Whoever wins apologizes! How? ”
Yan Zhuyin sneered and said, "It depends on whether you have the ability to do this." ”
She has worked hard to cultivate over the years, as well as training with Lu Yuan, and her combat strength and cultivation are far beyond ordinary people, so she doesn't think highly of herself because of this.
But she didn't feel that she was worse than other soul masters.
Especially Dai Mubai looks similar to her age, even if it is a soul sect, she is not afraid.
"Then let's go out and compete with each other!" Dai Mubai said suddenly.
Immediately, they left the restaurant.
……
Come to the open space not far away.
Tang San, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar and others opened their positions, allowing Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing to stand against each other.
Dai Mubai said lightly, "In this competition, I learned from my friend that you and I are both Soul Venerable-level strengths, and they can be regarded as equal, not bullying you." ”
"Although I am fighting this battle to ask for an explanation, I see that your cultivation can have the strength of the Soul Venerable level at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the talent is by no means below me, so if I win this time, how about you join our academy?"
Dai Mubai thought that his words were quite fine, after all, Shrek Academy was really not bad in his eyes.
But Yan Zhuyin was born in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy was the number one soul master senior academy in the Heaven Dou Empire, so how could he look at other academies.
"Humph! Foolish dreams, let's win first! Yan Zhuyin snorted coldly, and then summoned the martial spirit, "Under the fierce bow, there is no piece of armor!" ”
This is what Lu Yuan had to shout when she taught her to summon martial spirits outside.
In an instant, Yan Zhuyin had an extra fiery red longbow of equal length in his hand, and the vermilion light of the longbow lingered, as if a living flame was attached to the longbow, exuding an unbearable high temperature.
And between the longbow was a soaring fire phoenix, and the soaring fire phoenix was like a living thing, constantly flowing with light, lingering on Yan Zhuyin's white and slender fingertips, as if it was her pet.
Just by the appearance of this martial soul, Dai Mubai could see that Yan Zhuyin's martial soul was a very gorgeous and powerful martial soul.
And under her feet, three soul rings slowly rose, two yellow and one purple soul rings, highlighting her soul honorable identity.
Dai Mubai suddenly shouted when he saw this, "Okay! ”
He was like this when he met Tang San before, and now when he met Yan Zhuyin, he was the same, because he felt a challenge.
In a small city like Sivel City, except for the soul masters who are older than him, no one in the younger generation has a soul power cultivation that can match him.
"White Tiger, possessed." A layer of intense pale light suddenly burst out from his body, Dai Mubai's arms stretched out to both sides at the same time, his chest was straightened, the bones of his whole body crackled, and his muscles suddenly expanded, supporting the clothes on his body.
Every muscle became so evident under his clothes that even the air around him seemed to have become manic.
The blonde hair instantly became black and white, white accounted for most of it, a few strands of black hair were particularly obvious in it, and four faint lines appeared on the forehead, three horizontal and one vertical, just forming a king character.
His hands changed the most, twice as large as before, white hair covering the entire palm, and between the flicks of his fingers, short dagger-like claws continued to poke out and withdraw from their palms.
Each of those claws was like a blade, eight inches long, and shimmered with a cold light.
Dai Mubai's upper body slowly leaned forward, and the four pupils of his eyes turned into a deep dark blue.
Under his feet, three shining auras rose one after another, quietly rising, two yellow and one purple, between the flow of soul rings, the surging soul power formed a wave-like pressure rushing to his face.
But in front of Yan Zhuyin, a soul master who is also at the level of Soul Venerable, this pressure is not in her eyes at all.
"Dai Mubai, Martial Soul White Tiger, Thirty-seventh Rank Battle Soul Venerable, please advise." Dai Mubai said coldly.
Thirty-seventh-level Soul Venerable, if you change to other young soul masters, maybe you really won't be Dai Mubai's opponent.
But Yan Zhuyin is a soul venerable of level thirty-nine soul power, and he is only one step away from being able to advance to the soul sect, so he naturally does not take Dai Mubai in his eyes.
She snorted coldly, didn't say anything, just pulled her bow and arrows, and the condensed flame arrows came out of the bow, and in less than a second, it was already ten consecutive shots of arrows, forming a small rain of arrows, flying towards Dai Mubai!
Dai Mubai's evil eyes flashed continuously, his whole body was covered with surging soul power, and he waved his hands to swing away the arrow rain one by one.
Yan Zhuyin didn't want to win with one blow, but wanted to use the rain of arrows to hinder Dai Mubai's actions, and then flew back and opened the distance.
At the same time, she also kept holding her bow and arrows, and kited Dai Mubai.
As early as in the countless sparrings with Lu Yuan in the past four years, she has already figured out a set of fighting methods that are quite proficient and effective in actual combat.
Although the countless arrow rains were not dense, they effectively stopped Dai Mubai's actions, making him unable to get close to Yan Zhuyin.
Even...... Yan Zhuyin inadvertently also suddenly launched a cold arrow, and the flame arrow directly hit Dai Mubai, causing the clothes on his body to show scorching marks, and at the same time burning the skin on his surface.
Dai Mubai has never been a patient person, but his competitive spirit is extraordinarily strong, the strong white light suddenly lit up, Dai Mubai's evil eyes suddenly turned white, and among the three soul rings on his body, the first soul ring suddenly shone brightly, forming a white light shield, blocking the arrow rain from the outside in an instant and unable to hit Dai Mubai.
And then the arrows and
"First Soul Skill! White Tiger Barrier! ”
The White Tiger Talisman is a defensive soul skill, and it can also increase the strength of one's own soul skill.
Immediately after, the second soul ring on his body lit up again, and the huge white light instantly condensed, accompanied by Dai Mubai's tiger roar, a milky white ball of light spewed out from his mouth.
"Second Soul Skill! White Tiger Blazing Light Wave! ”
The milky white energy light wave rushed straight into Yan Zhuyin in the distance, and at the same time, he roared angrily, and his body followed the soul technique.
In the short battle with Yan Zhuyin, he already knew that Yan Zhuyin was a soul master whose soul power was definitely not below him, so he had to fight with all his might.
Otherwise, in front of Zhu Zhuqing, he lost to another girl, how could he raise his head in front of Zhu Zhuqing in the future?
At this moment, Tang San, Xiao Wu and the others suddenly saw that the second soul ring on Yan Zhuyin's body lit up, and they couldn't help but shout, "Be careful!" ”
