Chapter 30: Bullying Kids, Akatsuki's Plan!
"Uh..."
Mohen opened the bag and looked inside; there were hundreds of gold soul coins.
That was enough for the tuition of these few people, and even the entire academy's.
Besides, he couldn't afford to offend this kid, so he did as he was told.
There was no harm in it anyway.
"Alright, you'll become official students, and all your work will be waived."
"Let's keep the dorms here."
Mohen said, turning to leave as if afraid Tang Chen would change his mind.
As for the academy's work, with this money, they could easily hire a few gardeners.
"Wow, our boss is so generous!"
"But don't waive the work, otherwise we won't have living expenses."
"Yeah, let's talk to Teacher Mo again tomorrow."
The students in the dorm were excited; their new boss was too generous.
"Whatever, I'll only cover your tuition!"
Tang Chen didn't take on too much; being too good to them might not be a good thing.
Dependence only breeds useless people.
Paying their tuition was just a side effect; he was going to throw that bag of gold coins away anyway.
Having been used to spending lavishly in his previous life, he didn't know how to be frugal.
Five hundred thousand soul coins isn't a huge sum, but it's not a small amount either.
According to his own estimation, the purchasing power of a soul coin is roughly equivalent to ten thousand in his previous life.
Now everyone is a billionaire; this amount of money is nothing to them.
Moreover, the gold card hasn't been touched, and the inheritance from the Spirit Cat Sisters and the Golden Bow Soul Hunting Group is substantial.
Thinking of the six sisters of the Spirit Cat Group, Tang Chen felt a pang of regret.
Such beautiful girls, gone just like that.
Just as the group approached the cafeteria, they bumped into a large group of students.
"Damn, they stink!"
These people reeked of a foul stench, leaving nothing but desolation in their wake.
"Who was talking just now?"
Tang Chen's words were overheard, and the group of smelly students immediately stopped.
Upon discovering they were work-study students, they immediately revealed a fierce expression.
"You bunch of poor bastards dare to talk back to us?"
The children were all eleven or twelve years old, but each one appeared extremely arrogant.
"What did I say? Want to fight?"
"You stink and still come out to disgust people, especially in the cafeteria, you have no manners!"
Tang Chen was fearless. These little brats dared to be arrogant in front of him?
"You—"
The tall, thin guy in the middle had a fiery temper and was about to fight when provoked.
But the leader's pupils contracted, and he forcefully pulled the guy back.
"Don't be impulsive, it's that kid from earlier!"
All eyes were on Tang Chen, and they realized that he was the kid who had just fought.
Although they were shocked, their disdain was quickly replaced by contempt.
"Hmph, I thought he was so powerful, but he's just a poor work-study student!"
The guy who was about to fight instantly turned from fear to ferocity.
A poor kid, what use is power?
"Idiots, stay here and sunbathe!"
Tang Chen was too lazy to waste words with them, and his spiritual power emanated from his body.
A light flashed on his chest, and a large number of crystals appeared from under their feet.
The legs of more than a dozen people were instantly wrapped up, and their movements were completely restricted.
"Ah, what's going on?"
"Where did this crystal come from?"
"It's so hard, we can't open it!"
"Quick, call the teacher!"
Chaos erupted, and several timid students even cried.
"Let's go, let them dissipate the smell!"
Tang Chen turned and left. With the power of the soul bone, it wouldn't disappear for a day.
As for what level it would take to forcibly break it, the dean here should be able to.
"Teacher, you're here too!"
Tang San, with sharp eyes, saw Grandmaster slowly approaching from afar.
Yu Xiaogang had already seen him and originally wanted to hide, but now he couldn't hide anymore.
"Teacher, are you going to eat?"
Grandmaster politely bowed to Tang Chen, leaving everyone around dumbfounded.
In Douluo Continent, if you attend academy, there isn't much connection with the teacher, after all, it's just a monetary transaction.
Students pay for school, and teachers receive salaries to teach.
Becoming a disciple is different; it's a very formal act.
Betraying someone casually will invite scorn and ruin one's reputation.
Yu Xiaogang has already become Tang Chen's disciple, so the proper etiquette cannot be neglected.
Even if his master can't teach him anything...
"Xiaogang, let's eat together!"
Tang Chen glanced at the middle-aged man walking alongside the Grandmaster in the distance, who had already run to the students.
His soul power erupted as he tried to break free from the crystal's restraints.
"Take your time,"
Tang Chen ignored him and led them directly to the second floor of the cafeteria.
Inside the academy office, a well-fed Yu Xiaogang was giving Tang San a lesson.
Tang Chen sat on the sofa listening, while Xiao Wu stood behind him dozing off.
Being a maid wasn't easy.
"Xiaogang, you're dressed so shabbily, are you short on living expenses?"
"I..."
Yu Xiaogang trembled, his weakness exposed again, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
He hadn't had much income over the years; the earnings from his travels were long gone.
The Golden Iron Triangle, except for Liu Erlong, were all poor.
"Put on this outfit, or you'll embarrass me when you go out."
Tang Chen tossed out the summer Akatsuki uniform, but didn't give her the ring.
He had already planned for Akatsuki; there were only thirteen rings in total.
Perfect for establishing thirteen elders, unless someone had special abilities or a powerful backer.
Otherwise, they would need to be at least a Soul Douluo level.
He himself was wearing one, Tang San had one,
Tang Hao would eventually receive one, and there was also Xiao Wu behind him.
The remaining nine rings had to be for strong individuals; even if the Golden Iron Triangle were to receive one, only Liu Erlong would be qualified.
Then, the thirteen Akatsuki elders would form thirteen teams.
For example, Tang San's team was planned to be the Shrek Seven Devils.
Xiao Wu also had a backer; Da Ming and Er Ming could also join Akatsuki.
Ordinary members only had clothes and masks; the rings were the symbol of an elder.
"Xiao San, you change too. Don't say you're my brother wearing that shabby outfit."
Tang Chen took the opportunity to unify the attire, even giving Xiao Wu a piece.
However, the women's Akatsuki uniform was quite beautiful, serving only as an outer garment.
After all, what was the point if you couldn't see the stockinged legs?
"Big brother, this outfit is so embarrassing!"
Tang San was a little disgusted; the clothes didn't suit his taste.
"Embarrassing my foot! This is a rare soul tool."
"It can prevent others from detecting you, and it has considerable defensive power."
"The Akatsuki's equipment comes in three types. Outer members only have clothes and headbands."
"Official members have clothes and masks, and only core members can have rings."
"These are all soul tools, each with different functions!"
Tang Chen explained seriously, as the formation of the faction couldn't be taken lightly.
"Oh? Soul tools?"
Grandmaster was very interested, putting the mask around his neck and quickly changing into the clothes.
"It's really good; it can block the aura of strong individuals from being detected."
"With my level 29 soul power, I couldn't even damage the clothes in the slightest; it's a rare treasure." "
However, the method of making soul tools has long been lost. Where did you get a standard one, Master?"
"I picked it up from the ruins. Hurry up and put it on!"
Tang Chen started rambling as usual, glaring at Tang San.
"Okay."
Tang San was reluctant; he had originally wanted to promote the Tang Sect.
But what kind of mess did her older brother make of? Now she has no choice but to obediently comply.
She's sure that if she voiced her thoughts, it wouldn't just be a beating.
"Can it really block auras?"
Actually, Xiao Wu is the most conflicted right now, placing extreme importance on this outfit. A transformed soul beast must reach level 60 to be considered mature.
At that point, it will be indistinguishable from a human, and no method can detect it.
But the juvenile stage is very dangerous; a Title Douluo can sense a soul beast's aura.
If this outfit works, then it's a priceless treasure to her.
Xiao Wu looked at the outfit expectantly, then draped it over her shoulders.
She also put on the mask, but on the side of her face.
When it comes to dressing up, girls can outshine men by ten streets.
