Chapter 118 Finally Meeting, Just for Eight Million Eight Hundred Eighty Thousand

"Are you looking for Qin Xiao, the one who participated in the Continental Soul Master competition?"

He Caitou asked in surprise.

Wang Dong nodded excitedly, "Yes, that's him."

He Caitou asked again, "Is it that Qin Xiao who went to Shrek Academy as an exchange student and returned two days ago?"

"Mm-hmm."

"He Caitou, that's the guy I'm talking about, could you please take me to see him?!"

Wang Dong was already impatient.

However.

To his frustration, He Caitou shook his head awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I only met him a few times during the Continental Soul Master competition.

I've never seen him at the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy.

I have no idea where he might be... My knowledge about him is only based on hearsay."

"What?" After hearing what He Caitou said, Wang Dong looked utterly baffled.

He Caitou had just asked so many questions, and he thought that He Caitou had some connection with Qin Xiao.

Turns out he was overthinking it.

Scratching his smooth bald head in consolation, He Caitou said, "However, don't be disappointed. Even though I don't know him, I've heard from others that he is always with Xuan Ziwen.

I can't find Qin Xiao, but I know where Xuan Ziwen is, and I can take you to the entrance of his laboratory to wait for him."

In his disappointment, Wang Dong's mood changed again.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go."

"But my teacher, he..." He Caitou looked at the closed door of the laboratory, hesitating.

In his view, Fan Yu needed someone by his side at this moment more than ever. What if he did something impulsive in his absence?

Wang Dong saw through He Caitou's thoughts, "How about this, you draw me a map to Xuan Ziwen's laboratory, and I will find it myself. That should be fine, right?"

He Caitou's eyes lit up, and he nodded eagerly, "Yes."

As a professional soul master, He Caitou's drawing abilities were exceptionally strong. In just a few short minutes, he handed a detailed, three-dimensional map over to Wang Dong.

"The end point is the laboratory building, but remember to wait downstairs, never go upstairs.

Because that laboratory is not open to exchange students from Shrek Academy, entering could cause quite some trouble."

After giving the map to Wang Dong, He Caitou earnestly cautioned.

"Don't worry, I'll do as you said and won't cause any trouble," Wang Dong assured before he hurried away, following the route marked on the map.

"This guy, I really wonder what he wants from Qin Xiao..."

"Wait, Qin Xiao also went to Shrek Academy as an exchange student, logically speaking, at his age, he is very likely to have been placed in the first grade..."

Suddenly remembering this, He Caitou felt a jolt in his heart.

Could it be that Qin Xiao is the exchange student who fought with Teacher Zhou?

...

Elsewhere.

Holy Spirit Cult.

Zhong Liwu sat majestically on his throne, listening to his subordinate report with the latest secret missive in hand.

It was a skinny, sharp-faced middle-aged man.

A sly look flickered in his eyes from time to time, clearly not an easy person to deal with.

"Sect Hierarch, there's breaking news, there have been quite a few big events on Soul Land."

He said with a fawning smile.

"Let's hear it."

Zhong Liwu replied lazily.

"First off, our plan worked. Representatives from Sky Soul, Xingluo, and The Three Great Empires of Douluo gathered outside Shrek City to negotiate with the powers within Shrek Academy, with a very tough stance."

"Oh! How so?"

Zhong Liwu straightened up slightly, showing great interest in this matter.

It had taken him a lot of effort and resources to reach this point.

To make Xuan Zi walk the path of an evil soul master, he even sacrificed many evil soul masters who had been lurking for years as pawns for Xuan Zi to kill.

If this couldn't provoke a conflict between The Three Great Empires of Douluo and Shrek Academy, it would be a huge loss for him.

"Heh heh, things are progressing as we envisaged."

The sharp-faced man chuckled, "The Empires were very tough this time, not showing any sign of retreat in the face of Shrek Academy's martial suppression.

They insisted on sanctioning Xuan Zi, even at the risk of severing ties with Shrek Academy."

"Heh, that's quite unusual. I always thought The Three Great Empires were just domestics or laborers kept by Shrek Academy. Seems I underestimated them, they do have some spine after all," Zhong Liwu said with a sneer on his face.

"Even a clay figure has a temper. Besides, which Monarch of The Three Great Empires isn't superior to millions? None of them want to be suppressed by an academy."

"Mhm, that's true, so tell me the result. How was Xuan Zi dealt with in the end? But I guess, faced with a Grade 8 Titled Douluo, The Three Great Empires ultimately had to back down, right?" Zhong Liwu guessed.

"Sect Hierarch, you're just a little bit off..."

"Off by what?"

"Just a little bit from being right."

Zhong Liwu: "..."

Am I playing guessing games with you, huh?

Sensing the change in Zhong Liwu's gaze, the sharp-faced middle-aged man felt a sudden tightness in his chest—he knew the Sect Hierarch might be losing his patience.

So he hurriedly blurted out everything he knew, "The Three Great Empires didn't back down at all, remaining steadfast from beginning to end, demanding sanctions against Xuan Zi.

Their firmness also put considerable pressure on Shrek Academy. In the end, it was Xuan Zi who stepped forward, choosing self-exile from Shrek Academy, severing all ties with them. Moreover, at the meeting point of The Three Great Empires, he set up a challenge stage to await challengers from the Empires."
