Douluo: Goddess Life Simulator, Qian Renxue Is Addicted

"He sure knows how to pick them, taking away the four most outstanding students from our academy. If anything happens to them, there's no point in us participating in the next Soul Master Tournament."

Liu Erlong sneered upon hearing Yin Shu's report.

Women hold grudges, especially when it involves a lover. Right now, Liu Erlong had a very poor impression of Zhou Sheng'an.

Yin Shu shook her head and said, "Dean, how can you think that way about Teacher Zhou?"

"Does it matter what I think? His soul power expansion theory is simply too outrageous! Increasing soul power without leveling up—and by several times at that—do you think that's feasible?"

Liu Erlong curled her lips in disdain.

"This… maybe it's just Teacher Zhou's ideal scenario. But no matter what, he can definitely help the students increase their soul power, which will significantly enhance their combat abilities," Yin Shu explained.

Liu Erlong didn't refute her.

They all knew that soul power and physical strength were somewhat connected.

More soul power meant greater stamina—it was directly proportional.

"As long as nothing goes wrong," Liu Erlong snorted, not too concerned.

Right now, she only hoped that after receiving her letter, Flender could get Yu Xiaogang to come quickly and ease her longing for him.

Yin Shu shook her head helplessly. The dean was still too prejudiced against Teacher Zhou!

Just then, a figure ran up to the wooden fence, shouting, "Dean! Director Yin! The Hall Master of Spirit Hall, Salas, is here! He says he wants to see Teacher Zhou!"

Liu Erlong and Yin Shu exchanged glances, immediately understanding each other's thoughts. Spirit Hall wouldn't come for no reason—this was definitely not a friendly visit!

…

As much as Liu Erlong disliked Zhou Sheng'an, she was well aware of his talent—he was a walking treasure trove. Keeping him at the academy, or even within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, would be a great achievement!

At the very least, she couldn't let Spirit Hall take him away!

So, halfway through, she intercepted Salas and brought him to her office.

Salas followed behind Liu Erlong. His face was covered in white beard and hair, yet when he saw Liu Erlong's curvaceous figure from behind, he couldn't help but reveal a slightly lecherous smile.

Liu Erlong shut the office door, sat down boldly in her chair, and looked at Salas.

"What brings the Hall Master to our academy?"

Salas sat on the sofa against the wall, diagonally across from Liu Erlong.

Raising his eyebrows, he got straight to the point, "Dean Liu, there's no need to play dumb. Mr. Zhou submitted a soul power replenishment theory to our Spirit Hall academic journal the other day. Though he didn't leave his name, after some investigation…"

"I've already confirmed that Mr. Zhou has come to Blue Tyrant Academy as a teacher."

"A man of such great talent—staying in your academy as a teacher is a waste of his potential. That's why I'm here to recruit him into Spirit Hall. The treatment he will receive will undoubtedly be the best."

Salas poured himself some tea without hesitation, occasionally glancing at Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong frowned and replied indifferently, "That's quite an outrageous thing to say, Hall Master. What's wrong with Blue Tyrant Academy? Besides, we have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind us!"

"The Upper Three Clans? To put it bluntly, even they can't keep a genius like Mr. Zhou. He is destined to become a master of theory, revolutionizing the world of soul masters."

Salas spoke with a smile, showing no hesitation in praising Zhou Sheng'an.

At his level of soul power, he could see things very clearly—Zhou Sheng'an was simply extraordinary!

Back then, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's Ten Core Competencies might have been just as significant as the Soul Power Replenishment Theory, but because it couldn't be turned into a breakthrough achievement, Spirit Hall never took it seriously.

But Zhou Sheng'an was different!

The Soul Power Replenishment Theory alone could massively increase the number of soul masters!

And he was so young—who could say for sure that he wouldn't come up with even greater theories in the future?

Keeping someone like that within Spirit Hall would be a monumental achievement!

Salas was lustful and greedy, but his judgment was sharp!

Liu Erlong's expression remained unchanged, but inside, she felt uneasy. That bastard Zhou Sheng'an had actually caught Salas's attention and was being valued so highly—this was going to be troublesome!

"Dean Liu, could you bring Mr. Zhou here?"

"Hold on, did I ever say I'd let you meet him? He's not available right now." Liu Erlong spread her hands, feigning nonchalance.

Salas narrowed his eyes and said, "I came with the sincere intention of recruiting him. Besides, we're not here to snatch anyone—we just want to meet him. Why so tense, Dean Liu?"

Liu Erlong sneered inwardly. How could she not be tense?

Did he really think she didn't know how overbearing Spirit Hall was?

"In any case, you're not meeting him."

"If that's your stance, then we may not have much left to discuss. Perhaps only through a bit of conflict can we come to an understanding."

Salas suddenly stood up, releasing the pressure of a Spirit Douluo-level expert.

"You're trying to act tough in front of me? You think I'm scared of you?" Liu Erlong stood up as well, glaring at him without fear. A faint dragon's roar resounded behind her.

"…" Salas stared at Liu Erlong, feeling a shiver run down his spine.

How can this woman be so brave?

Knock, knock, knock…!

The sound of knocking on the door interrupted their standoff.

Zhou Sheng'an pushed the door open and stepped inside, seeing the two of them.

The tension in the room was obvious—it didn't take much to figure out that they had almost come to blows just moments ago.

Yin Shu followed behind Zhou Sheng'an and let out a sigh of relief.

"Who's looking for me?" Zhou Sheng'an asked.

"It's me, Salas, Hall Master of Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City. Mr. Zhou, I finally get to meet you. I never expected someone so young to have developed a theory as groundbreaking as Soul Power Replenishment…"

Salas immediately extended his hand, smiling warmly and showing no airs of superiority.

Zhou Sheng'an shook his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Hall Master Salas, hello."

"Mr. Zhou, I won't beat around the bush. For someone of your caliber, time is incredibly valuable. I'm here to invite you to join Spirit Hall! I am willing to use my highest authority to guarantee your position."

"If you join Spirit Hall, your treatment will be on par with an Honorary Elder!"

"I believe that once the Pope sees your Soul Power Replenishment Theory, she will also be amazed. Spirit Hall can provide you with the greatest support!"

Salas spoke with urgency.

Liu Erlong's mouth twitched—there was no doubt now, Spirit Hall truly wanted Zhou Sheng'an!

For a Spirit Douluo to lower himself this much showed just how much they valued him.

Compared to that, let alone Blue Tyrant Academy, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan couldn't offer such favorable terms!

"…"

But Zhou Sheng'an remained silent.

Was joining Spirit Hall really a good idea?

Given his situation, he would inevitably end up in the Pope's Palace and would have to meet Bibi Dong.

Thinking about his interactions with Bibi Dong in the simulation…

"Sorry, but I refuse."
