"What do you need me to do?" Lu Ping asked.
"As a student of Zhenfeng College, participate in the spiritual district's Soul Roll Assembly." Guo Youdao's expression was solemn.
"Oh." Lu Ping said.
Guo Youdao drank another cup of tea and waited for a long while, but didn't hear a second word from Lu Ping apart from the "oh".
He didn't take the initiative to express his stance. Guo Youdao found this a bit boring and could only let Lu Ping point it out.
"If you're participating, then at least come back first!" Guo Youdao said.
Using "at least" in front of "first" was obviously inappropriate, but since Lu Ping didn't express his stance, Guo Youdao might as well raise the bar.
"Alright." Lu Ping responded.
Guo Youdao waited for a long while, but it was the same word again.
"I say …" Guo Youdao couldn't help himself. "You're not brushing me off, are you?"
"Of course not, you saved me." Lu Ping said seriously.
Guo Youdao thought for a long while and said, "In truth, if you hadn't brought Su Tang with you, you wouldn't have needed anyone to save you if you were alone. So, to be precise, I was saving Su Tang. "
"Same." Lu Ping's tone was firm. "Because there's no possibility that I didn't bring her with me."
"Alright." Guo Youdao nodded and used a single word to sum up his praise for Lu Ping.
"Su Tang will participate with you." Guo Youdao said.
"She's participating as well?" Lu Ping frowned.
"What's with that look? Aren't you accusing me of being insatiable? I'm letting her participate in order to broaden her horizons. Her spirit of strength has reached the sixth level and she needs a better environment to temper herself. This environment can't be provided by Zhaifeng, nor can the entire Canyon Peak District. "Guo Youdao said.
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded.
"And Morin and Siffin," Guo Youdao said.
"Morin?"
"Yes, it's Lin Mo. Microscopic Seamless has already been here, how can he still hide his identity? You already knew, didn't you? He's quite loyal, "Guo Youdao said.
"Hehe." Lu Ping laughed dryly and asked, "Will Siffin be alright?"
"There's still a month before the Soul Picking Assembly. With Siffin's quality, it won't be a problem to recover." Guo Youdao said.
"I'm not asking about his injury, but his identity. Logically speaking, he should have graduated by now, right?" Lu Ping said.
"I haven't taken the exam yet, so I can't be considered to have graduated yet," Guo Youdao retorted.
"Aren't you going to arrange a make-up test for him?" Lu Ping asked.
"That's after the Soul Picking Assembly." Guo Youdao said.
"How despicable!" Lu Ping couldn't help but sigh.
"Impudent." Guo Youdao glared at him. But to be honest, he was just riding on a ladder like a painter. No matter how sharp his gaze was, Lu Ping didn't feel that he was dignified at all.
"Because there's still a month, I've specially arranged a cultivation for you guys." Guo Youdao continued.
"Cultivation?"
"Go to Amaterasu College. I've already contacted an old friend of mine. He will give you the most suitable guidance. Oh, to be precise, it will be the three of them. You can only rely on yourself. "Guo Youdao said.
"Okay." Lu Ping nodded.
Following that, there was another moment of silence. Guo Youdao hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still could not help but ask, "Tell me the truth. How much of the soul force did you steal from the Ecstasy Soul Lock?"
"I don't know." Lu Ping shook his head and added, "Because I don't know what my hundred percent is."
"Be careful. The spiritualist district isn't like our Canyon Peaks. There are many talented and outstanding students here. Besides, there's no guarantee that the other schools won't cheat. "Guo Youdao said solemnly.
"Are all the principals this despicable?" Lu Ping asked.
"The world is vast, and there will always be someone better than you!" Guo Youdao sighed.
The Canyon Peak Academy was located seven hundred meters east of Canyon Peak City. It was an enormous manor. Before Zhenfeng College, the Canyon Peak Academy had been the only school in the entire Canyon Peak district. Its four towering Towers of Soul were landmarks of the district.
But now, two of the four towers were gone. They'd collapsed symmetrically, and the two ruins hadn't been cleaned up yet. Sitting in the principal's office, Ba Liyan could see it with a tilt of his head.
It wasn't easy to build a Tower of Soul. It was a symbol of status for a school. Of the four hundred and forty-two schools recorded on the continent, only ninety-one actually possessed a Tower of Soul. The Canyon Peak Academy wasn't one of the top four hundred and forty-two schools, but because it was the only school in the district, it had a Tower of Soul that many other schools hadn't been able to build. This was something to be proud of.
But now, two of the towers had collapsed.
The Canyon Peak Academy hadn't been able to build two Towers of Soul on its own, and they'd only been able to do so thanks to the official support from the city lord's manor. Now that the two towers had been destroyed, Ba Liyan could only report to the city lord's manor, but it was hard to say if they'd build two more towers for them in the end. Things were different now, and they weren't the only school in the Canyon Peak district.
Zhai Feng.
Ba Liyan was filled with hate when he thought of this name. He'd received news today that Zhai Feng was going to send someone to participate in the Soul Gathering in the spiritualist district. This made Ba Liyan even more restless.
Lu Ping!
How could Ba Liyan not know who Guo Youdao was relying on? He'd intended to recruit Lu Ping for the same reason. However, Guo Youdao had made an agreement with him that as long as Ba Liyan could convince Lu Ping, Guo Youdao would let Ba Liyan go. But now, he'd boldly sent Lu Ping to represent Zhenfeng College. It was obvious that he didn't care about the agreement at all. He was certain that Lu Ping wouldn't be lured away by Ba Liyan.
"That old bastard!" Ba Liyan slapped the table heavily. However, the door to the principal's office opened at the sound of it.
"Principal, the city lord's manor has sent someone here." His personal instructor rushed in to report.
"Ah?" Ba Liyan started. The city lord's response had been faster than he'd expected. He'd only reported the destruction of the Tower of Soul this morning. He knew that Wei Zhong placed great importance on efficiency, but hadn't thought he'd be this efficient.
"Please! Invite him in! "Ba Liyan hurriedly said after recovering from his thoughts, but the people from the city lord's manor were already outside his door.
