Chapter 342 Attracting Flanders' Attention
"How much do you want?"
Flanders wanted to see how big this kid's appetite was.
"How much can you give?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.
"At most twenty gold soul coins." Flanders frowned and reported his bottom line - twenty gold soul coins, enough to make him feel distressed for a month!
"not enough."
Zhou Qing shook his head. "We are going to the northern forest of the Tiandou Empire. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we will have to go! It is the transition season between autumn and winter. Before the New Year, there will be more and more merchants coming to big cities like this..."
"But I also want to take my disciples to the Antarctic volcano." Flanders also had difficulties. After learning that Zhou Qing was a smart kid, he wanted to play the emotional card.
But Zhou Qingduan had a heart of stone: "First come, first served. As a Soul Saint, you should understand this principle best."
Flanders: “…”
He said nothing, but he was already cursing in his heart: What a sharp-tongued young boy!
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
In the end, for the sake of his own face, Flanders decided not to argue with Zhou Qing.
"One thousand gold soul coins."
"You are fucking robbing me!" Flanders' eyes widened, realizing that he was being harassed.
How can I bear this?
It has always been Shrek who has provoked others, so why would anyone else provoke him?
"Hey, big guy!"
Oscar took two steps forward and looked up at Zhou Qing, "Don't think that you can blackmail our dean just because you are tall!"
"that is!"
Ma Hongjun echoed, "You are level 10? Or is the person next to you level 10? It just so happens that I am also level 10. The soul master world has always respected strength. Everyone wants to hunt soul beasts, but there is only one carriage. Why not fight one-on-one? Whoever wins gets the carriage. What do you think?"
Flanders was filled with relief, and felt that his legacy could truly be inherited by someone else.
This Ma Hongjun was exactly what he thought!
Zhou Qing glanced at Ma Hongjun, who was full of provocation, and looked at Flanders, who seemed to be as happy as if he had eaten peaches, with a strange look, and was speechless.
[As a Soul Saint, you are too embarrassed to break the first-come-first-served rule, so you let your disciple Ma Hongjun come? Just because he is young, even if it is wrong, it is excusable? ]
[Although I have taken advantage of my young age and sometimes deliberately acted "willfully", I clearly know that this is wrong, and that it is essentially to achieve a certain purpose... But Ma Hongjun is not a time traveler like me, and the development of his three views depends entirely on you, the elder! ]
[It seems that Shrek’s education model really has some problems...]
In fact, Zhou Qing could understand why Flanders proposed the teaching concept of "those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre" -
To cultivate to the Soul Saint level as a commoner, one must go through untold hardships. One must know that only by building up a reputation and prestige can one deter villains.
As the saying goes: One punch is better than a hundred.
However, once it goes too far, the problem becomes serious, and you go from being fearless to causing trouble.
Although all the teachers at Shrek Academy are civilian spirit masters, and although they are perhaps comparable to most sect disciples in terms of strength, the only experience they have summed up in the past fourteen years on how to train students can probably be summed up in four words:
Elite Education.
That is, in order to keep the academy going, students must be carefully selected, and those who are not qualified will not be admitted. And their teaching policies and concepts, even if they were for the good of students at the beginning, were forced to maintain the livelihood of the academy, or perhaps these people had never thought of seeking experience from other senior colleges or even mid-level colleges in the past 14 years, so after implementation, the flavor changed drastically.
Even Flanders doesn't realize it!
Flanders coughed and said, "That's right. In the world of soul masters, strength is respected. How about you compete with my disciple?"
He didn't mention what it would be like if he won.
Because he knows the principle of first come, first served, and if he continues to hold on when others are unwilling to give up their space, it would be unreasonable.
But he just wanted this carriage, and he also wanted to test Zhou Qing's skills.
The reason why they didn't rob him directly by force was because they were now at an inn in the city. If Zhou Qing and others met him in the Soul Hunting Forest, then Flanders would have adopted another tough stance.
"No, your disciple is not a soul master yet, and cannot be considered a soul master." Zhou Qing saw that Flanders wanted to save face, and shook his head and said, "One thousand soul coins, I will give you the carriage, otherwise, no deal."
Flanders laughed angrily: "You are deliberately trying to cause trouble, right?"
Zhou Qing pretended to be surprised: "I just heard from your two students that the teaching philosophy of your Shrek Academy is that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre. My behavior should make me a genius in your eyes, right? After all, I dare to cause trouble for you."
Flanders looked like he had eaten dog shit, his brows were twisted together.
Being provoked——
It's so fucking uncomfortable!
Taking a deep breath, Flanders said meaningfully, "To pick a fight, you also have to look at your strength. Although you haven't joined Shrek, I'm reminding you that to pick a fight, you also have to look at the target. Picking a fight with someone who is not as strong as you is very dangerous."
"Oh~"
Zhou Qing stretched out the words, and suddenly realized: "Thank you for your teachings..."
Flanders nodded with slight satisfaction.
But then I heard Zhou Qing say: "... I understand, you should pick the weak ones."
Tang San looked at Flanders with a strange look——
He naturally knew that Zhou Qing was speaking in a sarcastic way, but this sentence "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre", coupled with this "picking on the weak", doesn't Shrek just bully the weak and fear the strong?
[Such an academy, let alone teaching out Titled Douluo, is probably a group of hooligans who only care about morality? 】
Flanders naturally understood the hidden meaning of Zhou Qing's words, but he suddenly felt a toothache. After all, as an adult, it was not easy for him to argue with a child.
Ma Hongjun shouted, "What the hell are you talking about? Just tell me whether you want to fight or not."
"You seem to have a bad temper? Your martial spirit has the attribute of fire?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile, not wanting to get angry with a real six-year-old child.
Being treated like a child, Ma Hongjun was very angry as a child.
But Flanders was keenly aware of Zhou Qing's intelligence. He held down Ma Hongjun, who was about to attack first, and asked with a little surprise: "Why did you say that Hongjun's martial spirit is of fire attribute?"
"Martial souls will have a certain degree of influence on a person's personality. People with fire-attributed martial souls tend to have tempers and enthusiasm."
Zhou Qing explained, "Not absolutely, but it's roughly the same, and the soul power fluctuations emanating from his body are hotter than those of ordinary soul masters."
Flanders was speechless:
Feelings are judged based on the fluctuations of soul power!
However, this kid is very sensitive to soul power, and seems to have a certain degree of understanding and research on the relationship between martial souls and soul masters...
