Inside the main room, Ning Liu slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
He looked down at the seventh spirit ring swirling around his body.
It was a ring of crimson.
One hundred thousand years.
Ning Liu's lips curled up slightly.
No, it should be said to be 200,000 years!
The level of soul power also skyrocketed.
Level 74.
This number brought a hint of pride to Ning Liu's eyes.
He raised his hand, and a miniature array plate, about the size of a palm, lay quietly in his palm.
It is the array plate of the Soul Battle Energy Gathering Array.
Ning Liu gently stroked the edge of the array plate with his fingers, and then with a thought, more than a dozen shimmering soul power crystals appeared and floated above the array plate.
These crystals were naturally produced during Yang Wudi's previous battle against Xuan Yi.
He put away the array plate and then prepared to absorb it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
"Come in."
Ning Liu put away the soul power crystal and responded.
Ang Lee pushed open the door and entered, his face filled with excitement.
He walked quickly to Ning Liu and bowed.
"My lord."
"There's good news, or rather... a development."
Ning Liu raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Li An paused for a moment, then spoke.
"Sect Master, the Tianshui Academy..."
"Their dean just found his subordinate."
“She said… Tianshui Academy is willing to voluntarily merge into our Liuli Heaven.”
Li An finished speaking in one breath, looking at Ning Liu with eager eyes.
Ning Liu's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.
Fragments of images flashed through his mind in an instant.
Ice Phoenix Martial Soul.
There are also powerful martial soul fusion skills?
"Oh? Tianshui Academy voluntarily merged in?"
Ning Liu looked at Li An and said affirmatively.
“Ang Lee, this is a great achievement of yours.”
Upon hearing this, Ang Lee's expression fell slightly.
He had a bitter look on his face.
"My lord, please don't praise me yet."
"Their attitude towards the merger is very firm; it's practically a done deal."
"But now, there's still a tricky little problem..."
Ang Lee's tone was somewhat hesitant.
Ning Liu waved his hand.
"Please feel free to speak."
Ang Lee said somewhat hesitantly.
"Well... they just bought an item at the auction."
"It's expensive."
"And now... they can't come up with the money."
Ning Liu paused slightly.
He looked up at Li An, a knowing glint in his eyes.
"It must be that ancient eight-cornered ice grass."
Ang Lee suddenly looked up, surprised.
"My lord, how did you know?"
This happened not long ago, and he hasn't had a chance to give a detailed report yet.
Ning Liu offered no explanation.
Tianshui Academy, Water Attribute Soul Master, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass.
The connection is obvious.
The dean of Tianshui College certainly has a lot of guts.
However, the way they ate was rather...blatant.
Ning Liu pondered for a moment.
"fine."
Ning Liu's voice was calm.
"It's just a mere thousand-year-old medicinal herb."
"Since Tianshui Academy is willing to submit, we, Liuli Tian, can offer this much sincerity."
Upon hearing this, Ang Lee visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"but."
Ning Liu changed the subject.
"The procedures still need to be followed."
"These two million two hundred thousand gold soul coins will be paid from my personal account and transferred to the sect's treasury."
"The accounts must be clear."
Li An nodded quickly.
"Yes, my lord is wise."
The worry on his face vanished instantly.
The sect leader is indeed the sect leader; his courage and methods are unmatched.
"My lord, I shall take my leave now."
Ang Lee turned to leave.
"Wait a moment."
Ning Liu called out to him.
Li An immediately stopped and bowed, awaiting instructions.
"How are the preparations for the Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies going?"
Ning Liu asked.
Li An dared not delay and immediately reported back.
"My Lord, everything is proceeding according to plan."
"All the construction of the arena has been completed, the operation staff has been organized, and the referee team of the Spirit Hall has been invited. The registration information of various academies is being collected one after another."
"The publicity campaign has been fully launched, and accommodation, catering, security and all other aspects have been arranged to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Ning Liu nodded slightly.
He trusted Ang Lee to handle things.
Once the Soul Battle Energy Gathering Array was in his hands, he was unwilling to let it stop.
"There are still a few days before the competition officially begins."
Ning Liu said calmly.
Ang Lee answered immediately.
"Yes, my lord, there are three more days."
Ning Liu continued.
"Don't be idle at the competition these days."
"We can open it up early, allowing participating teams from various colleges to go on stage for acclimatization training, or... to challenge each other."
Li An was slightly taken aback.
A pre-arranged duel?
That's a novel suggestion.
However, since the sect leader has said so, he must have his reasons.
"Yes, my lord, I will arrange it immediately."
Li An responded.
Ning Liu nodded.
"Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."
"in addition."
He seemed to have remembered something else.
"Go and find Ning Rongrong."
"Have her bring all the members of our Liuli Tian team to me."
"besides."
Ning Liu added.
"Isn't the dean of Tianshui Academy still at the auction?"
"Call the girls from their academy team, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, over here with me."
Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er?
Although Li An was unsure why the sect leader had specifically mentioned these two names, he still respectfully agreed.
"Yes, my lord, I will take care of it immediately."
