Douluo Continent: Kunxu Descends, Second-Player Players Are Stunned

Life is tough, Lao Deng sighed.

For the first time, Bibi Dong directly experienced how difficult life was without a powerful background.

Ah, I miss Xiaogang.

If Xiaogang were by her side, she might be able to find joy in hardship and grit her teeth and persevere.

She's so tired right now!

If Qian Xunji could hear her inner thoughts, he would mutter, "She's still too idle; she actually has the mood to think about men!"

Gui Mei didn't care whether Bibi Dong was tired or not. Seeing the little ghost looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, he grabbed him and dragged him to apply for a student loan.

The teacher in charge of lending was Wang Erxu, a portly Soul Emperor. Upon seeing the ghost arrive, he immediately bowed: "Greetings, Ghost Bishop."

"Help this child apply for a student loan." Ghost said, taking out Bibi Dong's martial soul certificate from her soul tool and handing it to Wang Erxu.

"Innate full soul power, twin martial souls, truly a genius!" Wang Erxu took out an abacus, fiddled with it a few times, muttered to himself, and finally quoted a price, "One thousand gold soul coins per month, low-interest loan. Once you break through to the Great Soul Master level, the limit can be increased to three thousand."

"Is that all? Are you underestimating my abilities?!" Bibi Dong retorted indignantly.

Wang Erxu ignored her and simply took out a contract and handed it to Bibi Dong.

As a loan officer at the Martial Soul Academy, he encounters one or two arrogant geniuses every year, and their fate is always "to work 22 hours a day to pay off their loans."

Two hours left... Eat, sleep.

Bibi Dong possesses twin martial souls; whether she can survive is uncertain.

After all, the last Soul Master with twin Martial Souls killed himself.

However, as a teacher, Wang Erxu still had to encourage Bibi Dong.

"Study hard, and if you get first place in your subject's monthly exam, you'll get 100 Gold Soul Coins!"

"Free?"

"That's right!" Wang Erxu pulled out a set of books, his chubby face beaming with a wide smile. "With this set of highlighted notes, you're guaranteed to get first place in the monthly theory exams this school year!"

"How much?" Bibi Dong asked.

Having learned from the previous experience of the ghost selling books, she wasn't worried at all that Old Wang was cheating her.

"It's not expensive, just one hundred gold soul coins. You can break even if you get first place in the exam once." Wang Erxu smiled kindly, his eyes devoid of any calculation.

How many words can a six-year-old understand?

Even if he leaked the test questions in advance, they might not be able to memorize the standard answers.

Bibi Dong: I couldn't understand it when I was six years old, how could I not understand it when I'm sixty!

"I bought it!"

"Okay." Wang Erxu handed the book to her and then pulled out a loose-leaf book.

"Little sister, you have innate full soul power, would you like to acquire a soul ring? We have a special package now, a complete service for only 888 gold soul coins!"

What is that?

Bibi Dong was dumbfounded. Shouldn't students be led by academy teachers when they acquire spirit rings?

Does this mean I have to pay for it?

Ghost coughed twice: "Don't rush the soul ring thing, just explain the process."

"Alright then." Wang Erxu regretfully put away the booklet and began to explain—

"Students at the Martial Soul Academy are divided into two categories. One category consists of students from noble families. They pay a tuition fee of 10,000 gold soul coins per year. The school regularly sends them home to visit their families. Teachers guide them to acquire soul rings for free, and they eat for free in the regular cafeteria. They also have the right to have double dormitories or rent single dormitories..."

Bibi Dong asked in confusion, "Just a rental?"

After paying so much tuition, shouldn't we be assigned better dorm rooms?

"What else? Single dorm rooms come in all sizes, and cultivation environments vary in quality, so the prices will definitely differ! If they're willing to spend 100,000 a month to rent a detached villa, the academy can simply build their own simulated cultivation field inside the villa!"

That's certainly true.

Bibi Dong nodded in agreement.

"Another category, students from commoner backgrounds, receive free tuition, free six-person dormitories, and free meals in the cafeteria. When they reach a bottleneck in their cultivation, they need to hire teachers to help them hunt spirit beasts. If students lack funds, they can apply for a spirit ring loan from the school!"

Bibi Dong was stunned, wondering if there was something wrong with her ears.

Soul Ring Loan?

Why can't this thing be free?!

Wang Erxu: What kind of Soul Master can you be if you don't have money!

"Thanks to His Holiness the Pope's benevolence, starting this year, students can initiate 'group buying' to drive down prices!"

"This is……"

Bibi Dong pursed her lips, and before she could finish asking, Wang Erxu pulled out a brochure: "Read it yourself, and remember to put it back after you're done."

[Group Buying: Still worried about the high price of Soul Rings? Want to take advantage of Soul Ring loans? Join Group Buying now!]

[Group of two: 75% off for singles!]

[Group of three: 67% off for singles!]

[Group of 5: 40% off for singles!]

[Group formation rules: Soul beasts must be hunted within the same area.]

"The more people, the cheaper it is!" Bibi Dong understood, checking the unit price—

Soul King: 300 Gold Soul Coins/person

Soul Emperor: 500 Gold Soul Coins/person

Soul Saint: 1000 Gold Soul Coins/person

Contra: 2000 Gold Coins/person

Title Douluo: 5000 Gold Soul Coins/person

The unit price is followed by a "GG" (Good Guy) message.

Spend a little money, protect your life. With the protection of the God of Wealth, you'll have three peace of mind: worry-free fund security, effortless professional explanations, and hassle-free full-process support!

Don't panic in danger! The God of Wealth will protect you and provide you with a hundredfold medical benefit!

What is the God of Wealth?

Although Bibi Dong knew that the God of Wealth was the strongest being in this world, some unfamiliar vocabulary still left her feeling bewildered.

The ghost explained, "If you purchase an insurance policy worth 100 gold soul coins before you set off, and you encounter danger and get injured while hunting soul beasts with your teacher, the God of Wealth can reimburse your medical expenses, up to a maximum of 10,000 gold soul coins."

"What if I die along the way?"

"If you have debts, the policy will prioritize repaying those debts. If you have children, and there are no debts or the policy is sufficient to cover the loan payments, the remaining balance will be given to your children after deducting estate tax. If not, then congratulations, you get nothing!"

"What if you weren't injured?"

"Isn't that great?" Ghostly looked puzzled.

Is this girl trying to commit insurance fraud?

He's so young and already going astray, he deserves a beating!

Bibi Dong pouted speechlessly. Isn't this just getting something for nothing?

"What is the set meal?"

Wang Erxu took out a booklet: "These are the soul beasts bred by various forces. They are clearly priced, with free shipping. Regular logistics take two weeks, and express delivery requires an additional fee."

So, Bibi Dong saw "Contra Courier - Ghost: Can deliver cross-city packages, one-day delivery, 800 gold soul coins/delivery, up to 70% refund for late deliveries" in the express courier section, and her lips twitched uncontrollably.

It turned out that she paid the flat rate.

Although money is a topic of conversation everywhere in this world, people are generally quite honest.

Everyone: Nonsense! How can you pay taxes if you quote prices randomly? Tax evasion will be investigated!

"Our package includes: a manual assessment of your available spirit ring age, a suitable spirit beast, capture and delivery to the academy, or transportation of spirit beasts raised by the Spirit Hall, delivered within three days."

Finally, Wang Erxu added, "Except for extremely rare soul beasts and soul beasts with exceptionally strong bloodlines, the encyclopedia covers almost all types of soul beasts that low-level soul masters can use."

Bibi Dong flipped through a few pages and found that the facts were indeed as Wang Erxu had said.

Just as she was about to turn the page again, she suddenly felt that the ghost seemed to be staring at her.

Bibi Dong suddenly realized that she was only a six-year-old child and couldn't possibly understand these soul beasts. She immediately feigned surprise, pointed at a spider, and turned to look at the ghost.

"Grandpa Bishop, it looks just like my martial spirit! It's so cute!"
