Chapter 186: Dai Mubai's Letter

"Huh? You both have the surname Qin; could it be that you're family?"

Oscar's brilliant imagination was met with a hammer-blow to the head from Qin Jian without a moment's hesitation.

"No, back when Junior Qin Jian was at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, he defeated a Phantom Beast with strength equivalent to Level 30 while only at Level 20 soul power; that caused a sensation throughout the entire academy, how could I not know?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "At that time, I was thinking what a pity it would be if such a little monster didn't join our Shrek Academy; I never expected my prediction to come true."

"Brother Jian, how come everyone knows you?"

Oscar once again poked his head in, oblivious to the danger, and said, "I always feel like Brother Jian's past is very rich; what with the Poison Douluo's granddaughter, the Imperial Fighting Team Captain, and even Senior Qin Ming has heard of you."

"Xiao Ao, when you get to the imperial capital, you'll hear even more," Ning Rongrong said with a giggle.

"I am not in the jianghu, yet the jianghu still circulates my legends..." Qin Jian said leisurely.

Grandmaster couldn't watch anymore: "Alright, all of you go settle your points and upgrade your Spirit Fighting Badges."

This wasn't just about points; there was also prize money, which was also being distributed uniformly today, the very last day of the month.

Before the seven of them could go to the place designated for calculating points, that Ao Zhuguan had already taken the initiative to come before them and invited the seven to a point exchange counter reserved for high-level Spirit Masters.

Ao Zhuguan handed each of the seven a Black Card and said, "This is your prize money for this month, as well as the earnings from this victory over the Imperial Fighting Team; please keep them safe."

"Wow, a Black Card!"

Oscar hugged the Black Card in high spirits and kissed it several times: "With a Black Card in hand, the world is mine!"

Qin Jian calmly took out a Platinum Card: "Please help me transfer it to this card."

Oscar, who had just been over-excited, froze...

"A Platinum Card?"

Ao Zhuguan's expression immediately became even more respectful.

"Transfer my prize money to Brother Jian's card too."

Ning Rongrong smilingly handed over her own Black Card as well: "It was always like this before..."

"Then give mine to him too," Zhu Zhuqing said expressionlessly.

"And mine, mine too!"

Xiao Wu also crowded over...

Ma Hongjun and Oscar's faces turned black.

"Is this the highest realm of being a kept man? Eating off three at once," Oscar said, speechless.

Qin Jian was also a bit embarrassed: "You girls should keep them yourselves; girls spend money much more impressively than we do."

Just as Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu subconsciously took them back, they saw Ning Rongrong with her hands behind her back, spinning around and giggling: "So, you have to be responsible for following me and paying!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu immediately handed their Black Cards back over.

"Fine, fine, transfer them all to me; from now on, I'm your purse..." Qin Jian said, covering his face.

"Ao Zhuguan, can you calculate our points for us now?"

Before long, Qin Jian took back the Platinum Card that had been transferred and said, "We all want to go back and rest early."

"Of course, of course."

Ao Zhuguan appeared exceptionally courteous, a far cry from the attitude he had during their first team battle.

Especially when facing Qin Jian, he made his intention to recruit him plain to see.

Although the others also performed extremely well in this Team Soul Fighting, none were as eye-catching as Qin Jian's Sword Qi and Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Whether it was his innate aura of slaughter or his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with infinite potential, both were reasons why the Great Spirit Arena had to recruit him.

It was a pity he didn't know this was the last soul fight for Qin Jian and the others at the Soto City Great Spirit Arena; it was purely a case of winking at a blind man...

Soon, the staff delivered the point calculation results to the group.

Without a doubt, except for Qin Jian and Tang San, everyone else had upgraded to a Silver Spirit Badge.

"Xiao San, Brother Jian, how many points do you two have?" Oscar asked impatiently.

Ning Rongrong and the others also looked over curiously.

Qin Jian smiled: "I dare not say; I'm afraid of scaring you."

"Pfft, could it be that you reached Gold Spirit Fighter?" Oscar said with disdain.

Tang San slowly raised his new badge: "Sorry, my points exceeded five thousand, just enough to reach the Gold Spirit Fighter level."

Oscar: "..."

"What about Brother Jian?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

Qin Jian sighed and raised his own golden badge: "The difference between a study god and a straight-A student; my points are close to ten thousand, but unfortunately, the level can only be Gold Spirit Fighter..."

He thought of the tragic past of being a study god who could only get an 'A' no matter how high he scored...

Little did he know that Ao Zhuguan was already stunned: "Two Gold Spirit Fighters? So, you are now a Gold Spirit Fighter team!"

"A Gold Spirit Fighter team?!"

Ma Hongjun's eyes were glowing: "From now on, our Shrek Team is a Gold Spirit Fighter team!"

The eyes of the others were also glowing.

"By the way, there is also a letter here that seems to have been sent to your academy but no one received it, so it was forwarded to us."

Ao Zhuguan handed a letter to Qin Jian and said, "Take a look, it was sent by someone named Dai Mubai."

"Boss Dai?"

Ma Hongjun and Oscar looked over at the same time.

Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly: "Why would he send a letter to you?"

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I've received one before."

He opened the envelope and read it through; his eyes flickered slightly, then calmed down.

"What's wrong? What did he say in the letter?" Zhu Zhuqing asked nervously, grabbing Qin Jian's left hand.

Qin Jian looked at her and smiled slightly: "It's nothing major, don't worry, let me think about it and I'll tell you later."

"Qin Jian, is there some trouble?"

Tang San moved closer and said: "If you need help, just say so; it just so happens that Grandmaster has given us a month off."

Qin Jian nodded, looked around at everyone, clapped his hands and said: "If I need anything, I will tell everyone. Alright, this battle was hard-fought and everyone is tired, let's go back and rest together."

Although Tang San was the Captain in name, the two had a clear division of roles; Tang San handled the planning behind the scenes, while Qin Jian led everyone in public, so no one had any objections to his words.

The seven of them left together.

Not to mention the spendthrift behavior of Ma Hongjun making Flender pay a fortune that night, or the dispute between Grandmaster and Flender regarding joining the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Early the next morning, the group from Shrek Academy checked out of the hotel, ending this one-month second stage of training.

Perhaps, physically, this second stage of training was not as extreme as the first, but mentally, it was even more exhausting for the Shrek Seven Devils.

Therefore, after returning to the academy, the seven of them slept soundly, not waking up one by one until the following evening.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire Shrek Academy was covered in a faint golden radiance.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhuqing stood side by side on the balcony outside the dormitory, blowing in the leisurely evening breeze; the three girls all looked somewhat languid.

Xiao Wu stretched and said: "I suppose this is the Burnout Period that brother mentioned..."
