164: Spiritual Skill Fusion

Three billion!

Lu Yuan looked at the bank card on the table.

He once saw a piece of news stating that 100 million in cash weighs 1.15 tons, equivalent to a small sedan.

If three billion in cash were withdrawn, it would weigh 34 tons!

"Principal Lu, you should be able to feel the sincerity of our Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce," Fu Dechang said.

In terms of power, the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce might not be comparable to any single alliance among the Seven Alliances and One Hall.

But if they competed in wealth, the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce would not lose to any country on Blue Star!

"Mhm. Once you are ready with the equipment for mining artifact refining materials, you can set off anytime."

Lu Yuan handed the bank card to Lao Qiyuan.

Is three billion a lot?

Yes, it's a lot, a tremendous amount!

But for Pengcheng University, it was still a drop in the bucket, considering Zhenbang Martial Arts Hall had thousands of Martial Masters.

They are responsible for teaching students close combat, and three billion is not enough to cover their salaries for half a year.

"It's enough. At least it relieves a lot of pressure." Lao Qiyuan was satisfied, and suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.

"Lu Yuan, why don't you just stay on as Principal forever? I'll step down."

Lao Qiyuan said.

Lu Yuan: "..."

"I won't do it." Lu Yuan refused.

Being the Principal meant shouldering responsibility, having to personally handle everything for the tens of thousands of students at Pengcheng University.

He now got a headache just seeing documents and regretted using academic credit to exchange for the Principal Experience Coupon.

Fu Dechang, who was listening nearby, had a colorful expression.

Good heavens, if you two don't want the job, let me have it.

This is the Principal of one of the Five Great Top Academies, a status second only to the Alliance Leader and the Hall Master!

How many people would break their heads trying to become a Principal? Yet, Lu Yuan and Lao Qiyuan didn't want the job.

"The satisfied man does not know the hunger of the starving man," Fu Dechang thought of this saying.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Yuan returned to Pengcheng.

Pengcheng University, Principal's office.

Lu Yuan sat in the chair, facing four Vice Principals.

There were no changes in the office, except that the photo of Lao Qiyuan's family of three on the desk had been removed.

"A Principal is indeed a Principal; he gets 3 billion with a single move!"

Vice Principal Zhan skillfully flattered Lu Yuan.

The other two Vice Principals quickly followed suit; 3 billion was not a small sum.

"Tomorrow, Vice Principal Zhan and Vice Principal Liu will lead the team. We will head to the No Mans Land to escort the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce," Lu Yuan said.

"What about Vice Principal Lao?"

Lu Yuan looked at Lao Qiyuan.

God Emperor Realm Experts are not allowed to leave Huaxia without permission. This was something Lu Yuan learned from Senior Fu.

Furthermore, major locations like the headquarters of the Seven Alliances and One Hall in the Imperial Capital must be guarded by either the Supreme Alliance Leader or Shen Duanhong of the Hall of Judgment.

That night at the Hengsheng Headquarters, Lu Yuan indeed did not see the Supreme Alliance Leader.

"Two Vice Principals plus thirty Domain Realm Mentors should be enough," Lao Qiyuan said.

He and Lu Yuan knew clearly in their hearts.

Setting aside the uncertain factor of Fierce Beasts, the Yuan Family was the most likely to cause trouble.

After all, Lu Yuan's map was obtained from Yuan Ruifeng.

"The Yuan Family has two Saint Realm Experts. Vice Principal Zhan, Liu Ruixiang, and Fu Dechang—three against two is more than enough," Lao Qiyuan assessed the combat power.

Vice Principal Zhan is an Earth Attribute, Peak of the Saint Entry Realm Practitioner.

With him there, unless a God Emperor Realm Expert personally arrives, there won't be any accidents.

"When are we setting off?" Vice Principal Zhan asked.

"Tomorrow morning!"

Lu Yuan gave the exact time and instructed Vice Principal Zhan to notify the Domain Realm Mentors.

Thirty Domain Realm Experts—this was the most elite force of Pengcheng University.

They would stay in the No Mans Land for over half a month, only withdrawing after the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce established Defensive Arrays at the various Artifact Refining Mines.

The afternoon sun was bright, and Tang Jinghui had been waiting in the Private Villa for a long time.

"You're back?"

Tang Jinghui asked.

"Mhm." Lu Yuan lay on the sofa.

Learning that the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce was cooperating with Lu Yuan and Pengcheng University, Tang Jinghui adjusted his black-rimmed glasses.

"Still, be careful of the Yuan Family, lest they jump the wall in desperation," Tang Jinghui said.

The influence of the Yuan Family cannot be underestimated.

If it weren't for the grand void thunder wood causing Yuan Ruifeng's death by Lu Yuan's hand.

The Yuan Family might have relied on the Artifact Refining Mines to become a top-tier family like the Jiang Family!

After discussing the Yuan Family, Tang Jinghui took out a storage ring.

"These are the ghost puppet soldiers I made. Nine Legions, with one thousand soldiers each."

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher."

Lu Yuan accepted the storage ring.

Only he and his Teacher on the entire Blue Star knew about the production of ghost puppet soldiers.

Even if his Teacher could make them, he couldn't control the ghost puppet soldiers; only Lu Yuan could.

Twenty thousand soldiers!

Lu Yuan calculated the number of ghost puppet soldiers.

With so many ghost puppet soldiers, if he encountered a Dark Attribute Domain Realm Expert again, he would win even more easily!

"When you applied to Pengcheng University, the condition was that the school provide the materials for making ghost puppet soldiers. You might as well take advantage of it," Tang Jinghui said, feeling that something was strange after he finished speaking.

A brief silence fell over the villa.

"Teacher, I seem to be the Principal of Pengcheng University right now."

"Uh..."

Tang Jinghui pretended to cough.

Didn't that mean Lu Yuan was fleecing himself?

"It's fine. I won't be Principal in a month. I'll fleece them then and raise an army of 100,000 Guie!" Lu Yuan said.

"One hundred thousand..."

Tang Jinghui thought that this Disciple of his was ruthless enough.

Honestly, the ghost puppet soldiers Lu Yuan currently possessed had already cost Pengcheng University a substantial amount of money.

"Stop thinking about fleecing them for now. You can gain attributes through the calamities, but how many attributes can you gain at most in one go?" Tang Jinghui changed the subject and asked.

"I haven't tried."

Lu Yuan snapped his fingers.

The ten great calamities appeared!

Nine Vipers was the first to merge into Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan became a dual-attribute Practitioner of Poison and Lightning!

Following closely were Demon Burial, Blood Butcher, Feng Shi, and Army Devourer.

When Rotten Scab tried to enter Lu Yuan's body, it failed.

"Five. I can gain five attributes simultaneously!" Lu Yuan said.

The Thunder Attribute didn't count; it was awakened after he consumed the top-grade heaven and earth spirit treasure, grand void thunder wood.

"Including the Thunder Attribute, you are a Six-Attribute Practitioner." Tang Jinghui scrutinized Lu Yuan.

"Do you remember me mentioning Spirit Skill Fusion before? You can try it now."

Tang Jinghui patiently instructed him.

Spirit Skills of different attributes can be fused and used, though attributes that counteract each other cannot be fused.

For example, Fire and Water, Metal and Wood, Fire and Metal.

Spirit Skill Fusion?

Lu Yuan became interested and immediately performed the fusion of Poison and Fire Spirit Skills.

The villa was filled with Green Flames, where high temperature and poison gas coexisted!

"The power is quite fierce," Lu Yuan said.

Crucially, this kind of Spirit Skill is hard to guard against. Who would guess that flames contain potent poison!

"The fusion of two Earth-rank Spirit Skills has power no less than a Minor Forbidden Curse, though it consumes more Spiritual Energy." Tang Jinghui was somewhat excited, recording the effects and power of the fused Poison and Fire Attribute Spirit Skill.

These are very valuable materials, as no one has awakened the Poison Attribute for several hundred years.

Consumes more Spiritual Energy?

Lu Yuan didn't mind; the one thing he wasn't lacking was Spiritual Energy!

"Teacher, if two attribute Spirit Skills can fuse, then what about three attributes, four attributes, or even six attribute Spirit Skills fusing?" Lu Yuan's inspiration burst forth.

Hiss—

Tang Jinghui didn't answer but instead drew a sharp breath.

"Perhaps it would be even stronger than a Forbidden Curse. An Enhanced Forbidden Curse?" Tang Jinghui was also intrigued.

"Want to try?" Tang Jinghui tightly gripped the paper and pen in his hand.

Lu Yuan nodded.

"Let's try it!"
