Unfortunately, his body, under the influence of his own chronic poison, can no longer hold on for much longer.
The content of the diary continued.
[Of course, whether Emperor Xue Ye is anxious or not has nothing to do with me.]
[I'm a more pragmatic person; since I've joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, enjoyed its top-tier Mimicry training environment, and received a scholarship.]
[Then during my time at the academy, I naturally have to contribute my part for it.]
[For instance, helping the academy win a championship or something like that.]
[I don't want people poking my back in the future, saying that I, Dante, am an ungrateful wolf who bites the hand that feeds him.]
[As for the future?]
[To me, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy is indeed just a springboard.]
[Whether I stay in the Empire, join another power, or establish my own Sect in the future, that's a story for another time.]
[But at the very least, parting on good terms without owing each other anything is my basic bottom line.]
[However, as for our highly regarded Teacher Qin Ming.]
[The choice he makes at a certain critical moment in the future will truly chill the hearts of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the three Committee Members.]
In the classroom.
Dugu Yan looked at the Diary copy in her hand and couldn't help but peek sideways.
"Not owing each other, huh... This guy really lives with such clarity. He's a bit like Grandpa, having his own bottom line."
As the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, she was well aware of the delicate relationship between the Imperial Family and the Sects.
Dante's attitude of "getting paid to do the job and then leaving without a trace" might be cold, but one couldn't find fault with it.
At least it was much better than those who talked about loyalty and righteousness while stabbing people in the back.
"But he said in the diary that he might not necessarily serve the Empire in the future?"
"Could it be that he wants to join the Spirit Hall?"
At this thought, Dugu Yan felt a slight tightening in her heart. If Dante went to the Spirit Hall, what would she and her grandfather do?
...Meanwhile, inside the Crown Prince's Mansion.
When Qian Renxue saw Dante's monologue about "not necessarily serving the Empire," a very charming curve curled up at the corner of her lips.
She smiled, and she smiled very happily.
"Good!"
"Very good!"
"Dante doesn't have a strong desire to serve the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"
"For me, this is simply fantastic news!"
Qian Renxue was ecstatic.
After all, she wasn't the real Xue Qinghe. If Dante were a die-hard royalist, a hothead whose mind was filled with "serving the Empire."
Then, given the terrifying talent Dante displayed and the System he possessed, she, Qian Renxue, would have a headache instead.
But now, she could try to recruit Dante.
Well... it couldn't exactly be called recruiting; after all, he could even refuse Sword Dao Chen Xin's recruitment, so refusing him, the Crown Prince, would be perfectly normal.
Her current thought was that she could have another reason to frequently appear by Dante's side.
And if recruiting didn't work, she would have to take another path.
When she had contact with Dante before, she could feel a throb from her Martial Soul.
After she went back and thought about it carefully, could that be Martial Soul Resonance?
Her Martial Soul was not the Four-Winged Swan, the inherited Martial Soul of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but the God-level Seraphim!
And Dante's Martial Soul was the God-level God-Slaying Spear; since they both possessed God-level Martial Souls, perhaps there was a possibility for a Spirit Fusion Skill?
Thinking this, Qian Renxue couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart.
This would be of great benefit to her. Not only could she enhance her strength and gain an additional means of attack, but most importantly, she could frequently appear by Dante's side under the pretext of practicing the Fusion skill!
Even if she went every day, no one would suspect anything!
Dante: But people will suspect whether you're gay!
After the excitement passed, Qian Renxue looked at the diary again and frowned: "But what's the deal with this Qin Ming?"
Basically, no one Dante mentioned in his diary was simple, so after the last time, she had investigated Qin Ming's "file."
She found that the Imperial Family indeed intended to nurture him, and the academy had also poured resources into him that didn't belong to his Level.
Looking at what Dante wrote now, is Qin Ming planning to leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the future?
Although leaving the academy doesn't mean leaving the Empire or being unable to serve the Empire, wouldn't this still chill the hearts of the Imperial Family?
After all, Qin Ming being promoted from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to serve the Imperial Family is very different from serving the Imperial Family coming from another power in the Empire!
In the former case, Qin Ming could be considered one of the Imperial Family's own.
The latter is more of a cooperative relationship.
[Qin Ming still remembers that he is a member of Shrek. In about four years, he will take the Royal Fighting Team to the Suotuo Great Spirit Arena for experience.]
[The reason given was: there's a noble there who invited them for a Martial Soul fight.]
[But this is actually nonsense; what kind of noble could possibly invite the Royal Fighting Team?]
[Who are the people in the Royal Fighting Team? Yu Tianheng, the first heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo! And the Shi brothers from the Black Tortoise Clan...]
[Are these people short on money? Are they short on fame?]
[With that tiny prize money from winning a Martial Soul fight, they probably wouldn't even bother to spare a glance.]
[The reason Qin Ming went to the Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena might have been premeditated. Because before the Royal Fighting Team appeared, the Shrek Team had already gained some fame in that Great Spirit Arena.]
[Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Suotuo City isn't exactly close to Heaven Dou City!]
[Even if they wanted experience, wouldn't the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena work? The quality of Soul Masters there is probably even higher than in Suotuo City, and the stakes are higher too!]
[And later, in the Martial Soul fight, they indeed encountered the Shrek Team.]
[And if it weren't for the butterfly effect caused by my appearance, the seven members of the Shrek Team would be Captain Dai Mubai, Vice-Captain Tang San, and members Ma Hongjun, Oscar, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing.]
[At that time, the average Soul Power Level of the Shrek Seven Devils was much lower than that of the Royal Fighting Team.]
[The Royal team were all Spirit Elders at level thirty-something with optimal spirit ring configurations, while Shrek still had Spirit Grandmasters.]
[Logically, this should have been a stomp.]
[But Tang San is a cheater!]
[When the battle reached a stalemate and Xiao Wu got injured, Tang San went berserk and activated the Eight Spider Lances external Spirit Bone on his back!]
[Combining the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, and other ultimate techniques, he single-handedly left the opposing Royal Fighting Team dazed and confused!]
[Even Yu Tianheng was beaten into a state of self-doubt.]
Dugu Yan was also shocked as she read this part.
"Eight Spider Lances? An external Spirit Bone?"
"This Tang San... his luck is too good, isn't it? He even has something like that?"
Although she was unconvinced, Dante's diary had never been wrong, which made her several degrees more wary of that Tang San.
And the next passage made Xiao Wu, who was sitting next to Dante, turn pale instantly...
