Chapter 1358: All for the Sake of Federation Coin! (Please Subscribe)_1

After parting ways with Tang Wulin and the others, Ye Xinglan, her expression cold, walked to the nearest academy...

Due to her outstanding beauty, she easily caught the attention of many male students...

This caused her brow to furrow slightly, and after quickly scanning her surroundings, she chose a more secluded spot...

The task ahead wasn't exactly honorable, and being discovered by so many people would make it difficult to escape unscathed!

Just then, three students walked towards her, chatting and laughing merrily...

One of them sighed, "Today's classes were so relaxing, they even specially cleared the afternoon for us."

Another student nodded, "That's true, but let's not forget about the final exams — they're monitored by teachers."

"Indeed, our academy's final exams seem to be modeled after Shrek Academy, where you have to defeat opponents with higher Soul Power ranks than your own! I really don't get why they come up with such exams!"

However, as they approached Ye Xinglan, she coldly, expressionlessly commanded, "You three, stop right there!"

This sudden rebuke startled the three students, leaving them all with confused expressions...

After snapping back to reality, they answered with puzzled faces, "Um... is there something you need from us?"

It must be said that looks really do impact the first impression others have of you!

Even though she had stopped the three students in front of her so brusquely, they didn't show even the slightest hint of anger towards Ye Xinglan!

Ye Xinglan coldly stated, "Of course, there's something. I need to borrow money from you!"

As for whether she'd repay it or not, that was entirely up to her mood!

Hearing this, the students' mouths twitched a few times...

Although they were happy to be approached by a beautiful girl, to be asked for money right off the bat was simply too audacious!

And besides, they didn't even know her!!

With this in mind, the previously speaking student wiped his forehead and said, "Classmate, we don't even know you. How could we possibly lend you money? You'd better ask someone else!"

The light in Ye Xinglan's Beautiful Eyes suddenly turned colder, and after pursing her thin lips, she said lightly, "I've already heard that your final exams involve defeating opponents who have a higher soul power rank than yourselves, right?"

"Well, I'm a Shrek student. The three of you, fight me. If you win, lend me the money; if you lose, I'll leave. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, the three students looked at each other, seeing the eagerness in each other's eyes...

The woman before them was a Shrek student, her strength surely surpassing theirs!

But if they could defeat her, it would be like completing the final exam!

Taking a deep breath, the three, full of fighting spirit, said, "Fine, since you've put it that way, we won't hold back even if it's three against one!"

...

A few minutes later, the three students stood, battered and bruised, in front of Ye Xinglan, their frustration evident, "Damn it... is this the strength of a Shrek Academy student? So terrifyingly strong!"

"It was three against one, yet we didn't gain the slightest advantage; this is outrageous!"

"More than that, we didn't even get a chance to strike back!"

Ye Xinglan glanced at them and sheathed her Star God Sword, "Convinced? If so, according to our agreement, hand over your federation coins!"

Seeing no other option, they reluctantly gave part of their federation coins to her...

Taking the coins, Ye Xinglan waved and said, "Thanks, I'll pay you back later!"

With that, she turned and disappeared from the spot...

Only after she left did the three students let out a relieved breath...

Just as they were about to leave, another cold voice sounded, "You three, stop right there..."

It was clear from their suddenly stiff faces and the tremble as they looked back...

That they were now facing Wu Dousi's cold stare...

A foreboding feeling immediately rose in their hearts...

...

When Tang Wulin reached the Blacksmith Association on foot, he looked up at the large signboard above...

Fortunately, he had deposited quite a few forging materials and finished products in the Blacksmith Association before. Just by selling some of them, he could get enough federation coins to take the Soul Guidance Train!

Thinking of this, he walked into the Blacksmith Association with a smile and quickly approached the counter...

The female staff member asked kindly, "Hello, how may I assist you?"

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin immediately said, "Um, I'd like to retrieve some items I've stored here!"

After saying that, he handed a magnetic card to the staff member...

The female staff member, after receiving the magnetic card, began to look up the information...

"Alright, please wait a moment..."

A few minutes later, she handed the magnetic card back with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, because you are a Shrek Academy student and currently participating in the final exams, all the items you've stored have been temporarily frozen!"

"The specific period is fifteen days!"

Tang Wulin was stunned, "Huh? Fifteen days? Isn't that the duration of the final exams?"

Could it be?

Did the final exams at Shrek Academy actually affect the Blacksmith Association?

How influential could they be!

Wait a second...

Could this all have been Elder Feng's doing?

With his reputation in the world of forging, achieving this would be a piece of cake!

The more Tang Wulin thought about it, the more convinced he became, and he took a deep breath in silence...

After calming his mind, he looked at the female staff member and spoke again, "Then can I still pick up forging tasks right now? That should be allowed, right?"

Although it would take more time, as long as he could get the federation coins, there wouldn't be any big issues!

The female staff member froze for a moment, but then immediately gave an affirmative reply, "That would be no problem!"

After expressing his gratitude, Tang Wulin directly took on a forging task and quickly started working in the forging room...

From start to finish, it took several hours!

And since he was already a Grandmaster Forger, the compensation was quite generous, and he easily obtained a large amount of federation coins!

Buying a ticket for the Soul Guidance Train was clearly more than manageable!

...

As for the most miserable, it had to be Xie Xie!

There he was, squatting on the ground with a bowl in front of him, covering his face and crying out, "Ladies and gentlemen, big brothers and sisters, please spare some change for the road."

Who would have thought that he, a Shrek student, would stoop to begging in the streets for federation coins!

But there was no choice; he neither had Xu Xiaoyan's shamelessness nor Tang Wulin's forging talent!

Getting federation coins was as difficult as climbing to heaven!

"That poor child, let's help him out!"

"Don't... definitely don't give him any federation coins, he might be a scammer!"

"Yeah, yeah, clearly able-bodied, yet not willing to work and choosing to beg here instead, it's shameful!"

"Child, you see? If you don't practice diligently, you'll end up like him!"

Hearing these comments, Xie Xie's face grew sullen...

The corners of his mouth lifted into a sinister smile, "Since the academy is so heartless, then they shouldn't blame me for being ruthless!"
