Chapter 166 The world of soul masters... is actually very cruel
"Tang San, what's wrong with you? All the buns have fallen." Xiao Wu noticed the buns Tang San dropped on the table and looked at him again That dazed look in his eyes was a bit strange.
"It's nothing."
Tang San picked up the bun, took a breath, and said with a smile, "The main thing is that I have figured out some things... Brother Qing, don't worry, no matter what you want Whatever you do, I will support you unconditionally!”
And Tang San has already thought of the future scenario:
The Great Zhou was in the Ming Dynasty, competing against the two empires and the Wuhun Palace; while the Tang Sect was in the dark, secretly eliminating some enemies that could not be dealt with openly for the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this way, one yin and one yang, two-pronged approach, how can we worry about the failure of great things?
"Uh..."
Regarding Tang San's sudden change, Zhou Qing acted a little sluggishly, unable to understand why this guy suddenly lost his temper, and his pair of Eyes with burning eyes——
Isn’t your sexual orientation really abnormal?
Shuddering secretly, Zhou Qing "coughed" and changed the subject: "After everyone has finished eating, let's go to Notting Square."
"Okay."
Wang Sheng listened Hearing this, he was the first to answer.
After breakfast.
Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Wang Sheng, surrounded by Notting College work-study students, common people, and noble students such as Xiao Chenyu, found the students who had just finished eating in the teacher's dormitory. There were ink marks from breakfast, and Romantina, who had just sobered up and was still a little dizzy, headed towards Notting Square in a mighty manner.
The other teachers also followed.
Qingzhuzhu lives in a hotel near Notting Square and will meet him when the time comes.
"Teacher Mo, speaking of which, have you always lived in the college?" Zhou Qing asked about this.
"Um...I still have a small house in my hometown." Mo Hen's smile showed a hint of embarrassment, but then he said, "Actually, a large part of freedom Soul masters don’t have their own house.”
Zhou Qing: “?”
I thought it was just that Teacher Mo Hen didn't save enough money to buy a house in Notting City, but I didn't expect such a huge revelation.
Most free spirit masters don’t have real estate...
Aren’t they just vagrants?
But after thinking about it carefully, Zhou Qing understood the reason: apart from those soul masters with sects and families, and then those soul masters with fixed industries (mostly in towns outside the soul beast forest) After excluding the divisions, more than 90% of the remaining majority are floating people with no fixed abodes.
Just like the classification of junior college, intermediate college, and senior college, a child with the talent to become a soul master will normally upgrade step by step from one city to another - for For a civilian soul master, going from a familiar city to an unfamiliar city, it is naturally impossible to buy a new property there all at once.
At this time in Douluo Continent, except for the nobles, no one else dared to do real estate business on a large scale. Therefore, even if the soul master had saved enough money and wanted to buy a house in a big city, he had to wait until someone planned to sell the house. Just go.
If you want to quickly own your own house, joining a certain force is the best way...
[Hiss——]
[Is this also the case? A way for the major forces to recruit soul masters?
Basic, food, housing and transportation, just the word "live" has been grasped by major forces.
Civilian soul masters can still be adventurers and have freedom of choice now, only because there are still many places in Douluo Continent that have not been explored, and there is still a large space that can be developed, but currently few civilian soul masters are willing to go to unknown places. I don’t want to take risks in the zone, but I want to advance under the current system.
But within the scope of this developed continent, the distribution of interests has become saturated, and it is difficult for people at the bottom to get a share of the pie without background.
And if that person is truly a gifted civilian, and his talent is evident, he will inevitably be dropped by the major forces, forcing him to join one of the current "rules of the game" in the mainland. , and must adapt to and maintain this rule. If not, they will be ostracized or even attacked by the group.
The Wuhun Palace in the original work may be like this.
Moreover, perhaps because of Bibi Dong's personal mental problems, the original Wuhun Palace launched a war without putting forward any constructive slogans, reasons, or war programs.
This gave the high-level officials of the two empires the feeling that among the three major players that dominated Douluo Continent, Tiandou Empire, Star Luo Empire, and Wuhun Palace, Wuhun Palace suddenly lost its temper for no reason, stopped playing, and was ready to start a coup. The table is not for a comprehensive reform of the continent, but just to kick out the other two players - I eat the meat; I drink the soup; the others cannot even lick the bones!
In this case, not only the two empires will work together to resist Wuhun Palace, but also a large number of civilian soul masters will not stand on the side of Wuhun Palace from the bottom of their hearts.
Because in their eyes, Wuhun Palace is the initiator of the war. Civilian soul masters don’t understand the distribution of benefits, but they still understand the concept of “invaders”...]
“I heard that most adventurers from Notting Guild rent houses, and some even sleep in horses. "In the stable." Xiao Wu interjected, "It's so shameful that you don't even have your own home. Teacher Mo Hen, you have to work harder, otherwise you won't be able to get a wife in the future, or you and your wife will be together in the future. Wedding ceremony in the faculty dormitory of the college?”
Mo Hen: “······”
After working as a teacher for so many years, I still live in a college and haven't even saved enough money to buy a house of my own in Notting City. I am really embarrassed.
But Xiao Wu’s mouth is really vicious. If someone marries her in the future, they will probably suffer.
"With how lavish you are on spending money, you won't even be able to rent a house when you graduate." Zhou Qing retracted his divergent thoughts, rubbed his temples, and mocked Xiao Wu.
“Hmph!”
Xiao Wu looked away, not intending to argue with Zhou Qing, but she felt that she really had to consider the issue of housing after graduation.
There was definitely no way to go back to the core area of the Star Forest. After those ferocious beasts "returned home", both Da Ming and Er Ming could only bow their heads. She, a soft-bone rabbit in disguise, before reaching the level of a titled Douluo, There is no way to beat them up, no way to make them call themselves "Sister Xiao Wu".
Not to mention, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm also has a great hatred for those ferocious beasts...
In the human world, if she wants to have a house of her own, she must either To save money, either join a certain force or marry a good man who owns real estate.
The latter two options were directly eliminated by Xiao Wu.
Dedicate yourself to a certain force?
Her little dance sister is not someone who can be bound by rules!
Unless that force is very interesting.
But by taking this route, she also has to consider whether her identity will be exposed.
Although the method of refining the soul ring for the second time has allowed a small part of her own soul beast breath to be integrated into the martial soul and spine, she currently only has one soul ring, which cannot be completely guaranteed. His identity cannot be seen through by strong people.
Therefore, it is better to have less contact with the established forces.
As for marrying a good man who owns a house...
Is her little dance sister the kind of person who eats soft food?
"Actually, the three of you don't need to worry about the house in the future." Romantina's cheeks were slightly red, "My house is actually quite big."
[Why do these words sound so familiar? 】
Zhou Qing glanced calmly at Romantina, who had embedded the Huangwu Staff into something as soft as pudding - she was not wearing a breastplate today.
"That's great!"
Xiao Wu jumped up and down on Romantina's back, causing ripples in front of Romantina, "You are indeed my good friend. , Romantina.”
“When you didn’t need me, you would argue with me and call me a pervert; Now she has taken a fancy to my house and calls me a good friend." Romantina covered her cheeks, feeling shy: o(*////▽////*)q
"Oh, Don't worry about these details, hahaha!" Xiao Wu stretched out his hands to Romantina's armpits and tickled them.
“No~No~”
Romantina twisted all over, waving her arms wildly, with a blush on her face: o(>*//﹏//*<)o
【This person... is really hopeless! 】
Zhou Qing held his forehead, wondering if he had committed some unforgivable felony in his previous life, and actually wanted to be a teammate with such a weirdo.
Notting Square.
When the Notting College group arrived, the surrounding area was already crowded with people, and there were many vendors selling snacks shouting.
However, among the many soul masters surrounding here, they didn't pay much attention to Zhou Qing, Tang San, Xiao Wu, etc. After all, most of them couldn't see the tactics of Team 18 yesterday, they just felt that they were a lucky hit and got the result by chance. won.
“Zhou Qing.”
Qingzhu Zhu followed Zhu’s mother and walked to Zhou Qing’s side, “Did we complete a martial soul fusion last night?”
"Yes... right."
Seeing that Qing Zhu Zhu was impressed, Zhou Qing did not intend to hide it, "But I feel that the fusion of martial arts between us is not very similar. Normal situation.”
"Well, I think so too." Qingzhu Zhu shook her chin, but unlike Zhou Qing's guess about martial soul fusion, she felt that last night, he and she did not really complete the martial soul fusion, so There won't be that kind of attraction between martial souls.
"What?!" Romantina threw Xiao Wu off behind her, grabbed Zhou Qing's collar, almost lifted it up, and roared with a blush on her face: "You actually followed A little loli has completed the fusion of martial arts... Hey, is this cheating? This is too much! When you do this kind of thing in the future, please be sure to do it in front of me... No, you must not let me know! "
Zhou Qing pushed Romantina and shouted: "Don't get so close! Don't say anything weird! Other students will misunderstand it!"
Wang Sheng turned his head, whistled, and chatted with Song Si and other work-study students about how powerful he would be when he took the field later.
Mo Hen chatted with other teachers calmly, telling how many more gold soul coins he needed to buy a vacant manor in Notting City.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were chatting awkwardly, discussing the connection between "forging" and "fruit wine".
“Damn! Don’t mess with me!”
Seeing these people looking at their noses and their noses, Zhou Qing felt like crying without tears - what kind of bad friends had he made? ah?
But this guy can really divert people's attention and prevent him from overusing his brain...
In the end, it was Zhou Qing who ignored the "talking" Romantina before returning to the topic and said to Qingzhu Zhu: "Don't worry about the fusion of martial arts. I feel that I am special. I can't compete with any soul master's martial arts." Souls, it is possible to carry out corresponding fusion... Xiaosan, wait until this friendly competition is over Finally, let’s experiment.”
“Okay!”
Tang San was slightly stunned, and then agreed, but he didn’t think that his Blue Silver Grass, Clear Sky Hammer and Zhou Qing’s blood circulation system could. Fusion is just an excuse for Zhou Qing to persuade Qingzhu and get rid of Romantina.
"If you two have martial soul fusion, you'd better practice more." Teacher Mo Hen walked up to Zhou Qing and Qing Zhu Zhu and gave his advice.
Martial spirit fusion skills are extremely rare on the mainland.
For Mo Hen, this was the first time that a student was able to fuse martial souls with other students of the same age.
Although they have not seen it with their own eyes, since both parties believe that there is a fusion of martial souls between them, it proves that these two people are a perfect match.
If possible, he, as a teacher, still has to find a match... Is this the identity of Qing Zhuzhu, seems to be some eldest lady? It probably wasn't a big family, but he could only take verbal suggestions.
If you are from a big family——
Qingzhu Zhu blushed a little.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said: "Teacher Mo, please stop causing trouble...Forget it, in the final analysis, it is still my fault."
"???"
For Zhou Qing After thinking over and over again about the behavior of the Riddler, Mo Hen could only classify Qingzhuzhu as a noble with a very high status and status.
In his opinion, only if the status gap is too large, Zhou Qing will not have any thoughts about the relationship between men and women——
To say that Zhou Qing does not understand the relationship between men and women, Mo Hen is Absolutely don't believe it.
I think back then, when he was six years old, he fell in love with a lovely girl. Unfortunately, that girl was extremely talented. She graduated at the age of twelve and her soul power reached the sixteenth level. She was admitted to an intermediate college and was the same as him. They were forced to separate...
Seeing Mo Hen's face full of melancholy, Zhou Qing also had a question mark on his forehead.
However, the awkward atmosphere eased after the arrival of Zhong Dingxiu and the Star Luo Royal Team.
"No further nonsense, the first game of the second round begins now!"
The words fell.
Zhong Dingxiu started drawing lots and grabbed two balls from the box handed over by City Master Xiao.
No. 16, No. 8.
These two teams were put together temporarily, and the cooperation between the teams was not very tacit. They were able to enter the second round because the team they met in the first round was worse.
And now, when these two teams meet, it can be said that they are opponents and good talents. Their cooperation with each other is almost zero. In the true sense, each team plays its own role. The members of the two teams are all Not obeying their captain's arrangements, each acted in their own way.
In a sense, the tactics of these two teams are consistent with the tactics of Zhou Qing’s No. 18 team. The only difference is that everyone in these two teams is a true He is an independent individual. If he finds the right person, he will fight against that person without thinking about attacking other people or helping his opponent.
"It's too chaotic."
Tang San shook his head, "Didn't the captains of these two teams arrange tactics?"
"Twenty-level or twenty-level spirit master groups , and they are all temporarily formed. There are no support, treatment, or food teams. They only know each other and have little difference in soul power. Naturally, no one is convinced by the other. Everyone has his own set of ideas in his mind. Battle ideas."
Zhou Qing sighed, "Under the premise that the captain does not have enough ability and strategy to allow the members of the two teams to cooperate with each other, this method of each person finding the opposite person to fight to death, It’s not bad. After all, as long as one person from one side falls first, the other side will be able to take advantage.”
“The shortcomings couldn’t be more obvious. When encountering a team that can cooperate a little bit, these two teams will be able to take advantage of each other.” The team has to finish playing.”
"From the perspective of us viewers, such a battle is completely uninspiring...but it's not like we can't learn anything."
Xiao Wu disdainfully said: "What can we learn from these two teams? ?”
“Look-”
Zhou Qing pointed at the captain of the 16th team.
The captain's martial spirit was a steel sword, and when he waved it, a cold light flickered.
But the captain of team No. 8 was not a freeloader. The martial spirit was a long sword with a sharp sword light that actually blocked every blow of captain No. 16.
Captain No. 16's second soul ring lit up, and he roared: "Second soul skill: Breaking Wind Strike!"
In an instant, the steel knife spun around A thin layer of light green whirlwind appeared, making a sizzling sound, as if even the air was cut open.
Faced with this blow, Captain No. 8 held the long sword with both hands, widened his eyes, concentrated his energy, and actually wanted to take the blow.
However——
Uh-huh!
The other hand of Captain No. 16 suddenly reached into his pocket, took out a handful of white flour, and sprinkled it on the face of Captain No. 8.
In an instant, Captain No. 8 closed his eyes and burst into tears.
Captain No. 16 swung his sword, and the sword light entwined with a light green whirlwind passed through Captain No. 8’s chest, leaving a slash about forty centimeters long and five centimeters deep on his chest. knife mark and knocked it away.
Captain No. 8!
defeat!
Advantage, came to Team No. 16...
Xiao Wu said angrily: "What's going on with that guy? He seemed to have used this trick yesterday, and today he actually did it Use this move! Flour attack? That’s too despicable!”
“That’s right!”
Wang Sheng also cursed.
The work-study students, common people, and aristocratic students at Notting College are also extremely disdainful of such behavior.
However, Tang San had a different view:
First, Captain No. 16 did not violate the rules. This "Friendship Tournament" could have used other weapons besides martial arts. Weapons and means.
Secondly, this unexpected method is indeed very effective when traveling in the world. When encountering the necessary fighting moment, it can even turn defeat into victory.
"There is really no pride in being strong, but we have to guard against it. We should be lucky that this mode of competition is somewhat fair. If there is a conflict with this kind of soul master in the soul hunting forest, , what he sprinkled was not flour, but lime.”
Zhou Qing said earnestly, "When you meet other soul master groups while hunting for souls, if the strength of the two sides is not equal and there are conflicts, they will not follow the rules of the soul master world to have a soul battle to decide the outcome. Instead, he will kill him directly.”
Mo Hen and other teachers were also surprised.
They only knew that the soul master world was cruel, but they didn’t know that it could be so cruel.
But Zhou Qing knew that they could not be blamed for this, because they were just teachers at the Junior Soul Master Academy. They usually did not participate in any form of soul fighting. At most, they helped the students hunt soul beasts during the holidays, and After other soul master teams learned about the identity of "teacher", they would probably give it a try and not be embarrassed.
It is precisely because the teachers of the Junior Soul Master Academy do not have many responsibilities and live in a "good" place in the soul master world. This also leads to the teachers of the Junior Soul Master Academy such as Mo Hen, etc. Our understanding of the cruelty of the soul master world is relatively limited.
