132 Contra Li GuiSpeaking of being stimulated in this Soul Master Competition, Tang San was stimulated even more deeply than Yu Xiaogang.

Tang San has always been very confident in his own talent and is also very competitive. In his previous life, as an outer disciple of the Tang Sect, because of his competitive character, he disregarded the sect rules and secretly learned the inner sect's unique skills. All this was just to prove that he was more talented.

The current Yang Ping'an seemed to have been obsessed with Tang San. The two had been together in school for two years. Although they had rarely met, Tang San had always despised Yang Ping'an's blind study. At least Yang Ping'an didn't have a famous teacher like himself, and didn't take detours in his practice like himself.

But the reality slapped him hard in the face. Yang Ping'an actually surpassed him so quickly without any background, resources or famous teachers. Tang San would not allow a mediocre person to ride on his head. This was his biggest reverse scale in his past and present life.

After some communication, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang also decided on their next actions.

The Soul Master Competition is still going on. Although it has reached its end, it can basically be said that there is no suspense anymore.

The Exotic Beast Academy was far ahead of the rest, and won first place in the promotion match with an undefeated record. Especially after Yang Ping'an appeared out of nowhere, many teams were too lazy to even prepare, and simply gave up to avoid the humiliation of being defeated seven out of ten.

Shinfeng Academy, Tianshui Academy, Chihuo Academy, and Shrek Academy ranked second to fifth respectively. Their strength was basically recognized by everyone. After all, these teams basically had more than four Soul Masters, and their strength crushed the teams behind them.

After the qualifying round, countless people wanted to win over Yang Pingan, but they were all rejected intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, apart from practicing, Yang Pingan was either with his teammates or chatting and playing with Feng Xiaotian and others.

Although Feng Xiaotian and his team lost to the Exotic Beast Academy, especially several main players who basically lost to Yang Ping'an, but the game was a game and in private they all looked nonchalant, just having fun and making noise.

After the qualifying round, Lord Long also solemnly sought out Yang Ping'an, hoping to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Lord Long's face was very serious: "Ping An, what are your plans for the future? Have you decided which big force to join?"

Yang Pingan thought carefully for a while before speaking: "Dean, if I want to practice alone, is it really impossible?"

Duke Long shook his head and said, "It's too late now. Maybe I shouldn't have let you join the team in the first place. That way you could stay in the academy and practice peacefully without attracting so much attention."

"Now that you are famous, all the big forces should have arranged people to try to win you over. The conditions they proposed are probably very good. Don't you think there is anything suitable now?"

Yang Ping'an reviewed it carefully. In recent times, many people have indeed come to win him over, whether it is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the Tiandou Royal Family, or even the Xingluo Empire. Various conditions have emerged one after another, basically hunting for soul rings in the future and various benefits. The two empires even proposed the title, but Yang Ping'an said that he would talk about it after the Soul Master Competition was over.

Of course, the Spirit Hall also sent people to make contact openly, and it was Salas who met in person. It must be said that Salas has been in Tiandou City for a long time, and can stay in this vortex for a long time without falling behind. His vision and foresight are very good.

Yang Ping'an was confused for a while: "Dean, I still want to talk about it after the Soul Master Competition is over."

Duke Long seemed to have understood Yang Ping'an's purpose, but he still spoke: "Ping'an, I know what you are thinking. If you shine in the Soul Master Competition, the conditions proposed by the major forces should be better. But you have to think clearly. This Soul Master Competition is in Wuhun City. If you perform too well and don't join the Wuhun Hall, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to leave."

Yang Pingan shook his head: "Dean, it's not because of this problem. I just want to see my true strength. I don't want to worry about other things for the time being. The road ahead is too long. It's better to look at the present first."

Duke Long nodded with some satisfaction: "You are right. The future is indeed too far away. You are just a Soul Sect now. You really need to be more down-to-earth."

"Before the Soul Master Competition is over, you will be my student of the School of Exotic Beasts. As long as I am still here, no one will deal with you."

"And if you really win the championship, you will be rewarded accordingly based on your contribution."

Yang Pingan looked at Long Gong's resolute expression, and a trace of gratitude appeared on his face: "Thank you, Dean. No matter what, I will always be a student of the Exotic Beast Academy, and it is my duty to contribute to the academy."

Finally, Yang Ping'an thanked Long Gong again and again before quietly leaving the room.

Although Lord Long did not say anything specific, the pressure from the outside world was definitely great. Although he did not receive any preferential treatment or special care in the Exotic Beast Academy over the years, it did provide a relatively stable and safe environment. After graduation, all the storms would begin, and he would truly face competition and killing in the world of soul masters.

After the qualifying round, under the leadership of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and protected by a group of guards, all teams boarded carriages and prepared to head to Wuhun City to participate in the finals.

However, before they set off, Ju Douluo had already left. It seemed that he needed to report to Bibi Dong in advance.

Before leaving, Ju Douluo still secretly met with Yang Ping'an and gave him many of his treasured books and cultivation experiences, and even a lot of his treasured herbs. Even special arrangements have been made for security issues. The Soul Douluo named Li Gui from the original Wuhun Hall will follow secretly, and he can be arranged to deal with any problems.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ju Douluo even specifically stated that if there were any matters that were inconvenient for Li Gui to deal with, the news would never be leaked, not even the people in the Spirit Hall would know.

Yang Ping'an was quite satisfied with these arrangements. On the one hand, he had a certain degree of autonomy, and on the other hand, with a Soul Douluo by his side, his safety could be barely guaranteed. Moreover, judging from the situation, this Li Gui should be Ghost Douluo's own hidden man, and only Ju Douluo could mobilize him.

Li Gui is a very thin old man, whose specific identity cannot be identified by clicking on him. His martial soul is Ghost Shadow, and his soul power is level 82. He is a Soul Douluo of the Agility Attack system. He has nothing to do with the world-famous Ghost Douluo, but because of the special martial soul and the similarity, he should be a direct subordinate of Ghost Douluo.

Due to his special spirit, he comes and goes without a trace when he is on the move. He specializes in handling some secret matters in Tiandou City. Except for the top leaders of the Spirit Hall, no one knows of his existence. Even Salas takes him seriously.
