Chapter 54: The Conclusion of the Exchange Convention

"Are we going to get something to eat? My treat!"

After walking out of the Spirit Douluo arena, Feng Xiaotian was the first to speak.

However, as he said this, Feng Xiaotian's eyes drifted subconsciously toward Huo Wu's direction. His intentions were as obvious as Sima Zhao's heart—everyone on the street knew what he was up to.

"Alright, but how could we let you treat us? I'll pay for this meal."

At that moment, a sixteen-year-old youth dressed in a blue and purple school uniform stepped forward. He was the pride of this generation of the Thunder Academy and one of the most outstanding twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan: Yu Tianxin.

As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianxin's status was arguably the highest among the group, followed closely by Huyan Li of the Diamond Mammoth Academy. As for Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Shui Bing'er, and the others, their statuses were roughly on par with one another.

When it came solely to background and status, Mo Hui didn't even rank among this group because he lacked any powerful backing. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only invested in them, and as for Mo Hen, he wasn't even worth mentioning—he was far worse off than Mo Hui. At the very least, if Mo Hui desired it, he could secure the title of a baron in some kingdom or duchy right now.

After some polite back-and-forth, Yu Tianxin ultimately couldn't out-insist Feng Xiaotian and yielded the opportunity to treat the meal to him.

"Boss, give us your luxury set menu!"

To show off, Feng Xiaotian went all out. He walked straight to a private room on the third floor of the restaurant and chose the most expensive set menu available. A rough estimate suggested this meal would cost at least several hundred gold soul coins.

Soon, the dishes were served, and the group began chatting casually, the atmosphere among them gradually warming up.

Suddenly, Shui Bing'er looked at Mo Hui and asked with some confusion, "Mo Hui, why did that punch you hit me with hurt so much? I even felt like it was more powerful than many assault-type soul masters. Was that also your self-created soul skill?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the others also turned their gazes toward Mo Hui, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"You could say that!"

Mo Hui took a sip of tea and nodded.

Following that, Mo Hui continued, "What? Want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you, but what will you trade for it?"

Although Mo Hui didn't mind others learning his techniques, he wasn't about to pass them on easily to anyone. He wasn't that generous, nor did he have that much time to spare, unless the other party could offer a corresponding reward for an equivalent exchange.

"You're willing to teach me?"

Hearing Mo Hui's words, Shui Bing'er covered her mouth in surprise, asking in disbelief.

Mo Hui nodded once more and said, "As long as you can produce something of equivalent value to trade with, it's not a particularly precious thing to me anyway."

"Can I use money?"

Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and realized she didn't seem to have many things of high value, so she hesitated and spoke.

Mo Hui replied, "As for money, it will cost at least ten thousand gold soul coins! Moreover, I will only teach you for seven days. Once the exchange meeting ends, I won't follow you to Tianshui Academy to keep teaching. Whether you can master it depends entirely on your own comprehension."

Mo Hui wasn't particularly short of money right now; he was more interested in books and notes he had never seen before, or some special medicinal herbs and rare items.

"Ten thousand gold soul coins? Deal!"

Shui Bing'er nodded and agreed.

Although Tianshui Academy recruited commoners, Shui Bing'er was no commoner herself. Ten thousand gold soul coins was certainly not a small sum, but she was still able to afford it.

"I want to learn too!"

At that moment, seeing this, Huo Wu hastily spoke up.

The saying goes: know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. If she could use this opportunity to understand Mo Hui's combat techniques, she would have a chance to defeat him in the future.

"You..."

Mo Hui glanced at Huo Wu, hesitating slightly.

"What? Too chicken to teach me?!" Seeing Mo Hui's expression, Huo Wu raised an eyebrow and said with some displeasure.

Shui Bing'er could be taught, but she couldn't?

Wait, could it be...

Suddenly, Huo Wu seemed to think of something, and the way she looked at Mo Hui changed slightly.

However, Mo Hui was completely unaware of her thoughts. After pondering for a brief moment, he said, "You can learn too. I won't even charge you money, but I have one extra condition: I want to study your Soul Ring Fusion."

"Soul Ring Fusion?"

Huo Wu froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Fine, I can cooperate with your research, but you have to teach me properly."

Soul Ring Fusion was an innate talent ability; even if she wanted to teach someone else, she couldn't, let alone learn it from someone else. In Huo Wu's opinion, once Mo Hui realized that Soul Ring Fusion couldn't be learned, his interest in it would naturally fade away.

Yet, being able to save ten thousand gold soul coins just by displaying Soul Ring Fusion a few times made Huo Wu feel quite pleased inside.

Shortly after, Mo Hui said to everyone present, "Do the rest of you want to learn? If you do, I can teach you as well, but you will need to pay a tuition fee of ten thousand gold soul coins, or provide books, notes, rare treasures, or exotic herbs of equivalent value."

"Since Brother Mo is so generous and willing to teach us your unique secret technique, I naturally won't miss out."

Yu Tianxin smiled faintly, took a crystal-clear card from his soul guidance device, handed it to Mo Hui, and said, "This is ten thousand gold soul coins, Brother Mo, please accept it."

In Yu Tianxin's view, someone capable of creating a self-created soul skill like the multi-in-one air blade must possess unique brilliance in his signature techniques. As long as he could grasp the underlying principles, those ten thousand gold soul coins wouldn't be a loss.

Huo Wushuang and Feng Xiaotian made identical moves. Instantly, Mo Hui pocketed forty thousand gold soul coins, causing his personal treasury to swell significantly.

"I'll pass."

However, at that moment, the stocky Huyan Li shook his head. Although he could afford ten thousand gold soul coins, he didn't believe Mo Hui's techniques would be of any use to him. Besides, Mo Hui was only teaching for seven days; whether he could actually learn anything was up in the air.

Yet, what Huyan Li didn't know at this moment was that this decision would become his greatest regret, haunting him deeply three years later at the Elite Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.

Having collected the money, Mo Hui didn't waste any time. He found a suitable location and began instructing Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and Yu Tianxin on the method of rapidly condensing soul power into their hands and feet.

True to their reputations as the top geniuses of the major elemental academies, these individuals managed to initially grasp the technique of rapidly condensing soul power within just four or five days, significantly enhancing the destructive power of their punches and kicks.

Time flew by, and soon the Five Elemental Academies Exchange Meeting drew to a close.

On the final day of the exchange meeting, Mo Hui looked at the group who had basically mastered the technique and said, "Although you aren't completely proficient yet, you have essentially mastered the basics. From here on out, if you practice more when you return, you should be able to master this technique completely."

"Thank you, Brother Mo, for your guidance during this time. I will keep this favor in mind. If you ever run into trouble in the future, you can mention my name, Yu Tianxin. I believe they will show the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan a little courtesy."

At this moment, Yu Tianxin's eyes were filled with gratitude as he looked at Mo Hui. Although this technique provided a boost to everyone, its amplification for him was arguably the greatest.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was inherently the ultimate beast spirit, boasting formidable physical strength.

Furthermore, he was capable of dragon transformation. Combining his dragon-transformed sturdy physique with the technique taught by Mo Hui to enhance the power of his strikes yielded a blow whose might rivaled a soul skill, yet consumed remarkably little soul power. For him, this was something ten thousand gold soul coins simply could not compare to.
