Chapter 45 Will It Work, Thin Dog_1

As soon as the words of the Dream Divine Machine were spoken, many among the Shrek group shared expressions similar to that of Dean Flanders.

They even subconsciously turned their heads, looking towards Qin Xiao.

How could they not hear that the Dream Divine Machine wanted to test the students of Shrek Academy?

It's all well and good for others, but does His Majesty the Thunder Emperor really give you that much face?

They were also very much looking forward to it.

"Could it be that this student is the most talented person in Shrek?"

"Such an action is likely an encouragement for this young man to take the initiative to fight."

The Dream Divine Machine, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin all had doubts in their hearts and looked over as well.

In their minds, they secretly guessed that it was very likely.

"Student, don't be afraid, it's the same here as in Shrek Academy."

The Dream Divine Machine immediately gestured to Qin Xiao, his eyes and words both full of encouragement.

On the other hand, Dean Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and the others were dumbfounded.

After all, Qin Xiao's identity was very special, and Dean Flanders hadn't informed Sky Dou Royal Academy of Qin Xiao's status.

Unthinkably, the Dream Divine Machine still sought out Qin Xiao...

"Huh?"

Feeling that he was being cared for, Qin Xiao was stunned.

After all, he was here to wait for the Poison Douluo to come looking for him.

It wasn't to let these three old geezers test him.

Right away, he planned to show a bit of his strength, so that the three would know to back off.

But then, the long-lost System notification tone rang out:

[Ding, mission issued.]

[Rookie, to become a powerful Soul Master, you must first have a strong heart. This is especially important! Even if your cultivation level is far from that of Dream Divine Machine, do not be afraid. Charge at him, defeat him!

Mission Requirement: Withstand at least level 50 of Dream Divine Machine's Soul Force Pressure.

Mission Reward: For each level of Soul Force Pressure endured, add 100 years to the second Soul Ring. (Rewards start from level 50 and above. Exceeding the requirement will grant extra rewards.)

Remember, always act according to your capability!]

"If I remember correctly, the Dream Divine Machine is a level eighty-eight Soul Douluo. If he exerts his full pressure on me, wouldn't that add 8800 years to the age of my second Soul Ring?"

"And for exceeding the requirements, I wonder if Zhi Lin and Bai Baoshan count as extra? With one at level 83 and the other at level 85, if they are also included in the Soul Ring's age calculation, that's another 16800 years..."

"Last time, after refining the Titan Ape's Soul Ring and soul bone, my Soul Power was on the verge of making a breakthrough. If another 20000-plus years were added to my second Soul Ring, the feedback in Soul Power would be enough for me to break through to become a Level Ninety-Three Titled Douluo."

Qin Xiao felt that the Dream Divine Machine, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, these three tool-men, were still quite valuable.

Of course, he had also considered showing his own cultivation level first, then having the three put pressure on him together. But after knowing his cultivation level, would they still dare to make a move on him?

In that moment, Dean Flanders looked towards Qin Xiao, about to say something, but was stopped by him.

"Dean Flanders, it's an honor for me to be given guidance by Elder Dream."

Can he really instruct you? By what virtue or ability? Dean Flanders was taken aback upon hearing this.

But by then, Qin Xiao had already stepped forward.

"Humble and polite, much better than those little brats in our academy!"

The Dream Divine Machine, seeing Qin Xiao's noble demeanor, did not hesitate to praise him.

"Very good, quite impressive. To maintain such a demeanor in the face of a Soul Douluo is indeed a rarity."

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin exchanged a glance and were unable to restrain their praise as well.

On the other hand, Dean Flanders, Zhao Wuji, and the others were somewhat speechless.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to laugh or to laugh.

Does a strong Titled Douluo need to be afraid in front of a Soul Douluo?

"Rongrong, what's the matter with you?"

Zhu Zhuqing frowned and looked at Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong was covering her stomach, her face all scrunched up.

She was forcibly holding back her laughter.

"It's nothing..."

"My stomach hurts a bit."

Ning Rongrong waved her hand to Zhu Zhuqing.

...

"Be careful!"

The Dream Divine Machine said in a low voice, and the air around his body slightly twisted.

Immediately, Qin Xiao's face slightly changed, as he clearly sensed a faint Soul Force landing on him.

"This Soul Force Pressure is only around level 40?"

He silently assessed in his mind.

"Ah, I did overlook that. The students of Shrek should be at least around level 40 at this age. Using only level 40 pressure was indeed too little."

"Let's use level 50 then."

The Dream Divine Machine suddenly realized his mistake and swiftly used level 50 Soul Force Pressure.

Whoosh...

The robust Soul Power even created a gust of wind in the arena.

```

Even Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun had to step back several steps, each affected differently.

However, Qin Xiao remained unmoved.

"This kid, he's more extraordinary than we thought."

"President, add a bit more force. Let's see where his limit lies."

At this moment, Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin were also sizing up Qin Xiao without stopping.

"I think this kid may very well withstand the pressure of level 60 Soul Force!"

Dream Divine Machine responded secretly.

"But big brother, you can't be in a hurry. You have to do it little by little."

"That's right, you can't rush things, nor can you be overly forceful. You need to proceed step by step."

Bai Baoshan and Zhi Lin were advising Dream Divine Machine privately.

"You can count on me when it comes to getting things done."

Dream Divine Machine replied secretly, slowly increasing the level of Soul Force Pressure.

Level 51, level 52, level 53, level 54...

Yet, not even a hint of change could be seen in Qin Xiao's expression.

"Perhaps, he's even stronger than I expected!"

Dream Divine Machine gritted his teeth and suddenly raised the Soul Force Pressure to level 60.

Thud thud...

Within Shrek Academy, students like Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but back away.

They had no choice.

They were normal people and simply couldn't compare to someone with a freakish cultivation level like Qin Xiao.

"Hiss..."

"What in the world is this kid's cultivation level? He's acting like nothing's wrong in the face of level 60 Soul Force Pressure?"

Bai Baoshan's small eyes were wide and round.

In this moment, he looked somewhat comical.

"Based on my analysis, this kid is very likely to have a rare spiritual type Martial Soul, otherwise, he couldn't bear such intense pressure!"

In contrast to Bai Baoshan, Zhi Lin's eyes were filled with a calm light.

"Logically speaking, a Soul King level should also be able to withstand this pressure..."

Bai Baoshan's view is obviously contrary to that of Zhi Lin's.

"Hehe, how old is he? To possess a Soul King's cultivation level? Do you think someone like the Spirit Hall Golden Generation can appear just anywhere?"

"I'd rather believe he's a Soul Ancestor with strong spiritual power and a Spiritual Martial Soul than to think he has the cultivation level of a Soul King!"

Zhi Lin laughed coldly.

"This..."

Bai Baoshan was left speechless, after giving it some thought, he also felt Zhi Lin was right.

After all, geniuses are common, but the rarity of a genius like those from the Spirit Hall Golden Generation is exceedingly uncommon.

Although Qin Xiao seemed out of the ordinary, he still didn't believe Qin could compare to the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

"All right, stop arguing. If necessary, I'll just increase the pressure further."

"I have a premonition that level 65 might be his limit."

When Dream Divine Machine's voice fell, the three stopped their conversation.

But then, a more robust wave of Soul Force Pressure erupted anew.

Level 61, level 62...

...

"Is it already level 65?"

A moment later, Qin Xiao, having sensed the level of the Soul Force Pressure, finally made a move.

He frowned and shook his head.

However.

That very action, seen in the eyes of Dream Divine Machine, was like being slapped across the face by an invisible hand.

It was as if he could hear Qin Xiao's voice in his ear:

"Is that all you've got?"

"Damn dog!"

...

Although I've never asked for monthly tickets or rewards, many readers have generously given them to me.

I am honored by those who appreciate my work. I'm touched.

To tell the truth, after reading many comments, I felt quite disheartened.

Of course, it's not the insults that dishearten me. It's that some people criticize without even understanding the book.

For instance, some don't grasp the setting and tell me things like a Titled Douluo equates to a Grand Soul Master... I'm baffled.

And then there's the talk of nannies, brown-nosing Tang San... I laugh even more. If they read just twenty chapters, they wouldn't say such things.

Enough of that.

I won't take up more of a public chapter with explanations.

Let's consider today a day for me to vent. The same saying goes: if you don't like it, remove it from your bookshelf. I'm not begging anyone to read my book.
