Chapter 221 is all taught well by seniors

Half a month later, by the familiar water pool.

Halting his steps, Tang Hao's bland voice was heard.

"With your current strength, it's more than enough to survive here alone. So next, you need to complete your previous unfinished training here alone."

"I hope that when I come back next time, your progress will reach a level that satisfies me."

With those words, he turned away without looking back.

"Father, I'll definitely do it." Looking at the distant Tang Hao, Tang San squeezed his fists and let out a low murmur.

Using a heavy forging hammer first, then a light and brittle wooden hammer, he kept practising the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer under the impact of the waterfall until his application of strength reached the extreme, entering the legendary realm of lifting heavy weights as if they were light, as well as the further realm of lifting light weights as if they were heavy. He had long known the point behind the training plan that Tang Hao had arranged for him, all to allow him to better master the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul.

During the previous months of special training, he had already completed the first stage, and the second stage had yet to be completed due to the impending start of the Spirit Master Tournament.

"Now, it's time to complete the training in its entirety." Turning around, his gaze turned resolute.

'Besides, the reason Father left this time should be for that Head Spirit Bone. I don't know which academy won the final championship. However, in any case, with father's strength, that spirit bone will definitely belong to me.'

'I can't let Father's painstaking efforts down.' Between his thoughts, he quickly ran to the side of a large tree and began to cut down the wood to create a wooden hammer.

Not long after, a figure launched a charge under the fast-flowing waterfall.

A few days later, in the afternoon, the large troop arrived outside Heaven Dou City.

When looking around, the smiling and warm Xue Ye had already led a hundred officials to stand far away from the city gates, flanked by the Imperial Knights standing with halberds, stretching inside the city gates. The streets at the back had already been cleared, and on both sides were countless people watching the fun.

According to what had been discussed the night before when Xue Qinghe came to visit, the Skywalker Academy team's carriage was arranged to be at the front to be welcomed by the Imperial Emperor and the hundred officials.

Lin Manshan was also clear that this was the result of Xue Qinghe arranging for his cavalry to rush to Heaven Dou City in advance to inform Xue Ye, and that the reason why Xue Ye had made such a big show was in addition to celebrating Skywalker Academy's victory in the tournament, it was done to show the people the entire procession.

To show everyone Dugu Bo and him welcomed with open arms.

To tie him, Dugu Bo as well as the entire Skywalker Academy to the imperial chariot, Xue Ye had gone to great lengths.

However, after all, the academy was built within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, so the two of them couldn't refuse and only agreed.

Stepping off the carriage, Lin Manshan led the group and followed Dugu Bo as he slowly walked up to Xue Ye and bowed slightly.

Afterwards, they saw Xue Ye and Dugu Bo start praising each other, and after the former finished his courtesy, he smoothly showed off a wave of impassioned speeches in front of the people. In the end, all the participating teams were invited to accompany him to the palace to attend the banquet, firstly, to welcome them, and secondly, to honour his promise and award them with prizes.

Awarding gold soul coin rewards and rewarding knighthoods and fiefdoms according to the results of the tournament, all of these were promised by Xue Ye at the end of the qualifiers.

As he spoke, in front of the people, Xue Ye acted as if the more he spoke, the more excited he became, directly announcing that he would grant Lin Manshan the title of Earl.

Afterwards, Dugu Bo politely refused on the spot, saying that he and his grandson-in-law were both people who preferred pharmacology, were only interested in cultivation and medicine refining, and were not keen on secular rights, nor did they have the time to manage the fiefdom. In addition, he still had to sit and manage the academy in the future and wanted to keep his grandchildren by his side to help and accompany him. Thus, knighthoods and fiefdoms were meaningless to him, so let's forget about it.

In the end, he took the initiative to propose that if Xue Ye really wanted to reward them, then rewarding the land on which the academy was built would suffice.

He is an old man and knows Xue Ye's mind very well, so he has already discussed and decided that a fiefdom is not something that they would need. Moreover, Xue Ye certainly wouldn't be willing to give them much of a fiefdom as a reward for the knighthood. If he really wants to reward them, if he gives them poorly, he will lose prestige in front of Dugu Bo, and if he gives them good fiefs, will he reward them with the fiefs under the duchy? Or is it the Imperial family's own land? The interests involved here are also a problem.

The former touches the interests of the nobles of the duchy, and the latter is cutting their own flesh, which is not a desirable choice.

So if he took the initiative to ask for that piece of land which was all mountainous and already had an academy built on it, Xue Ye definitely wouldn't reject it.

He also counted it as giving Xue Ye a step-down.

Xue Ye naturally agreed to it. However, he still replied with a straight face that the title was a prior commitment, and as a ruler of a land with a golden tongue, he must honour the promise.   

Dugu Bo agreed but refused to add the word "Imperial" or "Royal" prefix in front of the Academy.

Xue Ye didn't force his hand and expressed his respect for Dugu's opinion.

Immediately, all the people were invited to get on the carriage and follow behind the Emperor's special carriage, entering the city together.

Walking onto the carriage and closing the door, Dugu Yan immediately complained, "It's so tiring to watch, when Xue Ye spoke, he really didn't say a single word of benefit, but every sentence was for benefit."

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head slightly, "Those who are emperors are like this, just get used to it."

"No matter what, in the future, our academy will be regarded as a private territory that is officially recognised, and it's also a benefit. Although it was originally equivalent to giving it away, acquiescing and saying it in public from the emperor's mouth are two different things." Dugu Bo nodded slightly.

"In this case, when the New Year is over, the academy can officially open for enrolment."

The crowd nodded and said no more.

The carriage moved forward slowly and drove into the palace gate, and was then led by the palace guards to the arranged chambers.

After some washing and changing clothes, the numerous academy teams entered the banquet one after another to take their seats.

It is worth mentioning that during the process of the large troop's return journey, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong suddenly disappeared.

Regarding this, the crowd of spirit masters also guessed that Yu Xiaogang was afraid that he would affect Shrek Academy's reputation, as well as fearing that he would be hunted down by the Martial Spirit Hall, so he ran away in advance.

However, it was not a matter of concern, so everyone did not care.

Once all were seated, under the host's presidency, the representatives of the participating academies went up to the stage to receive their rewards.

Hey, now I have the money to go to the Heaven Dou Auction House to buy a few plump ones. Ma Hongjun, who was sitting in the corner seat, was excited to see Flender receiving the money and stepping down from the stage.

When Flender returned to his seat, just as he was about to open his mouth, the former's eyes glanced, "I'll keep it for you first, so that you won't spend it indiscriminately."

"???" Ma Hongjun's expression collapsed.

"Didn't you brat claim earlier that you want to lose weight and become a handsome man, and then go out travelling with Jiang Zhu? Don't worry, as long as it's useful for you to achieve this goal, I will never be hesitant to spend money. I'm keeping this money for you, and I'm also supervising you so that you won't give up halfway and use this money for other things." Flender spoke in a flat tone and gave Ma Hongjun a you-know-what look.

I was just saying it in the heat of the moment. Ma Hongjun instantly felt bitter in the bottom of his heart, and with a glance at Jiang Zhu with his afterglow, he instantly sat upright and said with a straight face, "Master, what kind of thing are you talking about? The willpower of, Ma Hongjun, it's very tough, completely described by the two words resilience and tenacity."

"Oh really?" Dai Mubai immediately threw a look of contempt, "Tomorrow night I'll treat you, fatty, will you come?"

"Hehe, those vulgar flowers, how can they be compared to my Sister Jiang Zhu?" Ma Hongjun had a straight face, "It's you, Boss Dai, whose vision needs to be improved. How can true love be compared to the momentary pleasure gained from a flower girl? One only belongs to yourself, one is only temporarily for you to use, these two, how can be compared?"

When you walk through the street, the traffic is heavy every night, and in the morning the white dew becomes frost my Boss Dai.

I, on the other hand, have decided to take a new road on a new vehicle. If you have money, and you don't treat yourself better, how can that work?

At those words, Dai Mubai's face darkened.

"What a word Fatty, very progressive, your awareness has risen quite a bit." Flender, on the other hand, was not stingy with his praise.

Jiang Zhu on the side also nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun's waist suddenly straightened.

It's all because the seniors in the Hooker taught me well. Inwardly he thought so.
