Chapter 52 Tang Hao's Promise
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth, then sighed, his face contorted with bitterness. "Do you think I don't want to? Of course I do! I really do! But if I went, not only would those people at the academy kill me, but even Dean Fu would kill me first. If it weren't for the academy's abundant resources and Dean Fu's presence, I would have run away long ago!"
Dai Mubai's lips twitched as well.
That's right, according to the school rules of the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Second Academy, such occasions are absolutely forbidden. Although the Heaven Dou Royal Soul Master Academy actually has similar regulations, most of these rules exist in name only and are not strictly enforced in practice.
However, the Second Academy is different. The school rules here are strictly enforced, and the school atmosphere is relatively strict.
Shortly after arriving, Ma Hongjun secretly went to such a place to relieve his pent-up desires, but was quickly discovered by the college teachers and severely punished, receiving a major demerit. If it happens again, he could very well be expelled.
You should know that with the perception of a high-level Soul Master, it would be too easy for others to know that you have returned from that kind of place.
Ma Hongjun explained his situation to the academy, saying that he had no choice but to go to that kind of place because of his martial spirit. However, in the end, the academy gave him a cup instead. This completely stunned Ma Hongjun.
Using that method could indeed alleviate the burning sensation, but for Ma Hongjun, who had developed a taste for it, it was pure torment and torture.
If it's consensual, the college won't interfere if he finds a girlfriend. But with Fatty Ma's lecherous look, who could possibly be interested in him?
As for finding a so-called "girlfriend" through semi-coercion, like in the original village, that was even more impossible. If he dared to do that, the consequences of being exposed would be many times more severe than going to such places. Not only would he be immediately expelled from school, but he would also be dealt with according to the law, and it might even implicate Flanders.
Ma Hongjun was suffering; he was heartbroken. This burning anger was uncontrollable, but he hadn't had a proper release in over two months.
"Fatty, to be honest, you should really try to find a girlfriend. Ordinary people can't stand you, but Soul Masters can!"
Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, sighed, and said.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Ma Hongjun felt a slight jolt in his heart; then, he secretly glanced at Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu not far away, lowered his head, and seemed lost in thought. A restless emotion flashed in his eyes.
That evening, as Zhongli was lying in bed, he heard someone knocking on his window.
"Who is it?"
Zhongli stepped out of his house. He saw a figure shrouded in black robes, waiting for him. Upon seeing Zhongli, the figure removed the black cloak, revealing a dark, black-faced man resembling a blacksmith.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm the father of the mistress. Tang Hao."
A deep, slightly hoarse voice rang out. Zhong Li nodded.
In fact, he had known about Tang Hao's existence for a long time, but he just hadn't revealed it.
"I wonder what brings Tang San's parents here to see me?"
Zhong Li spoke in a businesslike manner.
Tang Hao paused for a moment, then asked, "Did you destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan?"
"Indeed. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect is rebellious and rampant, showing no regard for the law. This court has no choice but to deal with them according to the law."
Zhong Li nodded and replied.
"What a helpless situation! We must handle it according to the law."
Tang Hao's lips twitched, but there was no real smile in them.
"How about this? We'll make a deal, and I won't make things difficult for you. That 100,000-year-old soul beast is for my son; you can't touch it."
Tang Hao looked intently at Zhong Li and said.
Zhong Li understood Tang Hao's thoughts. Regardless of Zhong Li's terrifying strength or the many Soul Douluos and even Title Douluo-level experts around him, it would be foolish to say that Zhong Li hadn't seen through Xiao Wu's true form by now.
Zhongli and his men haven't made a move yet, which only means one thing: they're keeping them alive so they can be killed later when needed.
He never imagined that Zhong Li truly had no interest in killing Xiao Wu. As for Dugu Bo and the others, although they had already discovered Xiao Wu's true identity, since Zhong Li had not made a move, they naturally could not act rashly, assuming that their young master had his own purpose.
"As long as you promise me you won't harm that 100,000-year-old soul beast, Tang Hao will personally offer three 10,000-year-level soul bones as a token of gratitude after this Soul Master Competition. Moreover, from now on, Your Highness will gain the friendship of our Clear Sky Sect."
Tang Hao's eyes flickered for a moment, then he put on a somewhat stiff smile and said.
"Yes. If you are sincere in this intention, this contract can be established."
Zhong Li simply nodded.
"Alright, it's a deal then. After the Soul Master Competition ends, I will give Your Highness three soul bones of ten thousand years or more as a token of my gratitude. As for this hundred thousand-year-old soul beast, I'll trouble you to store it for a while longer."
Tang Hao bowed respectfully. Then, his figure transformed into a black shadow and disappeared into the night.
Zhong Li glanced deeply at the spot where Tang Hao had left, shook her head, and turned back to her dormitory.
Morax will not refuse any reasonable contract. However, once a contract is established, it must be fulfilled.

"Mu Bai, I never expected you to actually make it to the finals. Just being able to challenge me face-to-face is already a success. However, today, I also have reasons why I must win."
On the competition stage, a tall young man who looked four or five parts similar to Dai Mubai looked at Dai Mubai calmly and said.
"Davis, stop pretending. When have you ever stopped attacking me? Today on the court, we are enemies. If you're so capable, beat me first. Otherwise, who will inherit the family position is still uncertain."
Dai Mubai's tiger-like eyes widened, and he roared loudly. However, a strange fear arose in his heart. For some reason, he had a feeling that his elder brother, whom he hadn't seen for so long, seemed to have become even more unfathomable. Before, he had only thought that his elder brother was sharp and fierce, like a drawn sword.
However, now, this older brother exudes an aura as deep and unfathomable as the ocean.
"Mu Bai, sometimes I really don't know if you're smart or stupid. If you said that elsewhere, I might think more highly of you."
Davis suddenly paused, then sighed and shook his head. His eyes, looking at Dai Mubai, held a hint of pity, which made Dai Mubai freeze in place.
"What did you say? What do you mean by that?"
"Mu Bai, do you know why Zhu Qing didn't go on stage with you?"
Beside Davis, a somewhat alluring woman looked at Dai Mubai and asked a question. This woman bore a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing, though she was more mature and lacked Zhu Zhuqing's aloofness. However, the way she looked at Dai Mubai at that moment was also somewhat similar to Davis's.
For some reason, an ominous feeling rose in Dai Mubai's heart.
