Chapter 122: Those Who Win the People's Hearts Win the World!

Though Yu Xiaogang had these thoughts in mind, he wasn't going to express them to Tang San.

"Xiao San, I managed to secure that thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit head soul bone for you."

After saying this, Yu Xiaogang took out the soul bone and placed it in Tang San's hands.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Tang San respectfully expressed his gratitude before starting to examine the soul bone.

The soul bone was not large, roughly the size of an average person's palm, but it was exceptionally intact.

The quality of a soul bone isn't just determined by its age but also by its completeness.

This thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit head soul bone was extremely well-preserved, and Tang San found it hard to put down.

He had received the soul bone, but how should he handle it?

Tang San felt a bit confused.

"Xiao San, put it away for now,"

Yu Xiaogang said. A flash of insight crossed his eyes as he continued,

"Xiao San, it's just a thousand-year soul bone. Neither its age nor its attributes are well-matched with you."

"I've already explained the reasons before, so I won't repeat them. You should carefully consider it yourself."

"Teacher, I will keep your teachings in mind,"

Tang San replied, storing the soul bone in his storage-type soul tool and bowing respectfully.

Tang San was truly grateful to Yu Xiaogang, but it never crossed his mind to suggest that Yu Xiaogang absorb the soul bone to break through to rank 30.

It would be impossible to say that Tang San had no desire for the head soul bone.

Time passed, and three days flew by in the blink of an eye.

Today was a big day for Shrek Academy!

All the teachers and students of Shrek Academy stood at the entrance, looking at the academy's plaque, their spirits a bit low.

Zhao Wuji patted Flender's shoulder and said,

"Flender, if we get the chance, us old brothers can return someday."

"Sigh…"

Flender sighed deeply, nodded, and said,

"Let's go, head to Heaven Dou City!"

Shrek Academy—twenty years of effort.

Starting today, it would be reduced to nothing but smoke.

Flender didn't hear a single word of Zhao Wuji's comforting.

"Teacher, how about we don't move? Without the qualification to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, we just won't join,"

Ma Hongjun said sadly.

"Yeah, Headmaster. We don't need those mimicry cultivation environments. With our talent, we can still make a name for ourselves!"

Oscar added.

Hearing this, Flender's face darkened. Though touched by their words, it only reinforced his decision to leave.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament!

Mimicry cultivation environments!

These children's talents couldn't be wasted!

"Enough talk, we're leaving!"

Flender took one last glance at the Shrek Academy plaque and walked away without looking back.

Ma Hongjun and Oscar exchanged a confused glance. How did their words make Flender even more urgent to leave?

The journey between Soto City and Heaven Dou City was quite far. The group stopped frequently along the way, finally reaching the outskirts of Heaven Dou City about a month later.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy wasn't located within Heaven Dou City but on a mountain range outside the city.

Its admission policy was entirely opposite to that of Blue Tyrant Academy, which only admitted commoner students, while Heaven Dou Royal Academy accepted only noble children.

"Brother Xue, don't you think Heaven Dou Royal Academy's admission policy is problematic?"

Kong, dressed in luxurious attire, turned to "Xue Qinghe" beside him and spoke.

Ever since Qian Renxue's "failure" last time, she would occasionally, disguised as "Xue Qinghe," invite Kong for outings. Since Kong had nothing better to do, he didn't refuse.

Today, Qian Renxue had invited Kong to tour Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Her desire for Kong to join the academy hadn't faded.

Upon hearing Kong's words, Qian Renxue was slightly taken aback and paused in her steps.

"Problematic admission policy?"

Indeed, many people are aware that Heaven Dou Royal Academy's admission policy is problematic, but what can be done?

Heaven Dou Royal Academy, to put it bluntly, is just a gilded academy for noble children. Nobles are proud by nature, and they certainly don't want to associate with commoners.

Not only that, but the academy also serves as a platform for aristocratic networking.

Noble children can meet powerful individuals here whom they wouldn't have the chance to connect with in the outside world.

Perhaps this was the real purpose behind the founding of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Brother Kong, I know about the issues with Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Changing this reality is incredibly difficult, unless..."

Qian Renxue didn't finish her sentence, but how could Kong not understand?

"Unless I become the Emperor of Heaven Dou, right?"

Kong patted "Xue Qinghe" on the shoulder, causing "Xue Qinghe's" face to flush slightly. However, she didn't say anything.

If it were anyone else, Qian Renxue would have been angry, but for this person in front of her, she just couldn't bring herself to be upset.

"Brother Xue, the foundation of Heaven Dou Royal Academy has already decayed."

"To change this reality, you'd have to tear it all down and start over."

"You must recruit talented individuals widely and give opportunities to both the humble and common folk."

"Remember, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

Qian Renxue: "…"

Her gaze toward Kong changed.

What a powerful statement—those who win the hearts of the people win the world!

On the Douluo Continent, the majority were commoners. Even though their martial souls and starting points weren't as good as the nobles', they made up the vast majority of the population.

Out of a hundred thousand people, there would always be a genius!

Isn't this the approach of the Spirit Hall?

"If Kong were to assist me, how could I not succeed in my grand ambitions?"

Before this, Qian Renxue had simply thought that Kong was the best match for her due to their strength and talent.

Now, she had to add another reason: this seemingly idle wanderer was, in fact, an excellent strategist!

"Brother Kong, come and assist me! When I become Emperor, I will grant you the title of 'King Beside the Throne'!"

Qian Renxue spoke with utmost sincerity.

Kong: "…"

Goodness, she's even offering me the title of 'King Beside the Throne'!

This title wasn't just any ordinary kingship—it was equivalent in status to the Emperor.

Kong knew Qian Renxue wasn't joking. She was genuinely serious.

"Apologies, Brother Xue. That's not where my ambitions lie."

Kong shook his head.

Starting a kingdom with Qian Renxue? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Even if she were the real Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Kong would still refuse without hesitation.

Being rejected on the spot, Qian Renxue felt somewhat disappointed.

"However, if Brother Xue wishes to discuss issues related to the welfare of the people, Kong will gladly share everything I know."

The common people of the Douluo Continent lived in such harsh conditions. If Qian Renxue were to become the Emperor of Heaven Dou Empire and could improve their lives, that would be worthwhile.

Hearing this, Qian Renxue's face brightened. She nodded without revealing her emotions.

Just as she was about to say something, a commotion erupted nearby, interrupting her thoughts...
