Chapter 159: The New King

  Is this really okay? Duan Feng Er froze, looking at the cigarette in his hand. This thing is a luxury item in big cities, and it's even rarer in the military. Could it be that... Duan Feng Er stood up and paced back and forth behind the iron bars, like a restless bird, with countless curious guesses in his eyes: "Could it be that... you have more?"

  Qian Jin looked up at Duan Feng Er with a stern expression. Normally, people would go enjoy themselves after receiving cigarettes, who has the time to care about this? In the past, Pang Zi had such a habit, when he got something, he wouldn't immediately enjoy it, but instead continued to speculate. Unexpectedly, this person also... "Ah?! No way!" Duan Feng Er pointed at Qian Jin's index finger, excitedly trembling: "I stored it away! I saw it! Just now your gaze, clearly there's still more..."

  Qian Jin, who was feeling weak and powerless, bumped his head against the wall behind him. This stubbornness was just like Luo Xuanzi's. "I said..." Duan Feng crouched down again, making a gesture as if he wanted to get closer. Qian Jin rubbed his forehead habitually and replied, "Scram." "Will you give me cigarettes after I scram?"

  His eyes, like black gemstones, sparkled with excitement and anticipation, not showing the slightest discomfort from being told to "get lost". "It's gone." "I don't believe it!" Tofu shook his head firmly: "You must have some!" "Ten... one... one... one..." Dry, stiff, and sinking.

  "I'm telling you, bro, we've fought together before, so we're comrades in arms, right?" Duan Feng Er immediately changed his tone to a more affectionate one and said with a smile: "If we're comrades, then we shouldn't deceive each other, don't you think?" "...". Qian Jin continued to remain silent.

  "Give me another pack......" Duan Feng didn't raise his index finger again, and for a moment, his eyes looked extremely pitiful: "The last one..."

  The last one? Dry and strong, Luo Baozi always says it's the last time. As a result, behind the last time is the final time, then the most final time, and again the most, most final time... Entering a strange cycle?

  "Give it to me... It's really the last time." Feng Wuji's face was so sincere, his eyes were so pitiful, just like a little girl selling fire sticks on a snowy winter night, wearing thin clothes, with frozen red hands, calling out "fire sticks for sale".

  With a resolute and clear mind, he cut off the wind without hesitation. This was a performance similar to that of Luo Baozi on that day. Unable to bear it, he took out another package from his bosom, which served as a response to shut the other person's mouth.

  "Really?!" Tan Feng Er placed the unopened pack of cigarettes on himself, turned around with a sincere expression, pitiful eyes, and stretched out two palms as if begging, and said with a smile: "Should... still have some?"

  If it weren't for the iron bars, Qian Jin really wanted to kick him out of the isolation room. He didn't expect that there would be someone with such a thick skin in this world besides Luo Baozi. "I'm saying, we're comrades..." "We've been locked up together, so we can also be considered prison friends?" "I'm saying, the opportunity to become prison friends is actually harder to come by than becoming husband and wife." Qian Jin's tense body relaxed, this trick he used to deal with Luo Baozi was still very effective against people of the same kind.

  "Anyway, we can talk about it now, right?" Duan Feng Er approached the iron fence: "Which Advanced Magical Warrior Academy do you plan to take the exam for? The Shen Du's Zhen Ce Imperial Academy or the Jin Xi Zhou's Sha Mo Academy?" "Yong Liu, Zheng Fa Academy."

  "Eternal Conquest?" Duan Feng's eyes widened in surprise, his gaze filled with incredulity: "Your recent move, obviously it's not just about defeating the demon for one battle. I think Jinxi State's Demon-Slaying Academy also has a good chance, even Tiandu's Zhen Ce Imperial Academy... how can they go on a conquest? Although it is also a first-rate higher academy, but in the first-rate, it almost ranks at the bottom."

  With a shrug, the number of top-notch academies in the True Strategist Empire was only around ten. As for the ranking of conquests, it was seventh at best, and could only be considered a first-rate academy, but not a top-tier one. Moreover, Fabreides had already made arrangements, and besides, top-tier academies placed more emphasis on those Bloodline Warriors who enrolled, while non-Bloodline Warriors were never looked upon favorably, and would receive even fewer resources.

  "Ah! I get it?!" Feng Wu's eyes widened as he pointed at Qian Jing again: "You, you want to learn from the protagonists in the stories of traveling bards?! Enroll in a bottom-ranked academy and then rely on your own strength to bring this academy to prominence?! In the True Spirit Newcomer King Tournament, defeat those top-notch prestigious academies and create an era?!"

  Qianjin's rich imagination could only be met with a dismissive roll of the eyes. "Go ask the Conquest Academy, do they have that many ideas?" It was only because of Fabreidis' passionate invitation, and the fact that the Conquest Academy's Command Department still had a good reputation in the True Strategist Dynasty. As an outstanding warrior, it wasn't enough to just charge onto the battlefield with a knife. In history, there were many strong warriors who excelled at solo combat but fell into enemy traps when commanding troops. They were then defeated by a relatively weak commander who used various methods to turn the tide of battle and achieve a brilliant comeback.

  "This method is not bad, this method is really good." Duan Feng couldn't help but smile as he looked at Gan Jing: "I used to think about it too, taking a relatively weak college to participate in the True Strategist Newcomer King's Tournament. But team battles are impossible to fight! Now that I think about it, haha! There's an opportunity, it's interesting! I've decided, the True Strategist Imperial College is going! I'm going to take the exam for Yong Liu's Conquest Academy!" Gan Jing turned his head and looked at Duan Feng carefully, what was this all about?

  Duan Feng didn't dare to look at Gan Jing for a long time, and his thick face suddenly turned a little red with shyness. He let out a light sigh and said: "Alright, I admit it! I never thought representing Xingfa Academy in the Newcomer King Tournament was interesting, I just liked your cigarette..."

  With a loud, fierce cough, "For the sake of cigarettes, you wouldn't even go to the True Qin Imperial Academy? If other warriors heard this, they'd probably roll their eyes and faint on the spot! And besides, even if I did go to the Conquest Academy, it's not like I'd just give him cigarettes for free!" "As long as I enter the Conquest Academy..." Tofu Not Two nodded to himself in serious thought: "Then I'll have a chance to get those cigarettes..."

  Should I start considering changing schools? Otherwise, in the future, won't I be driven mad by this guy?

  "Hmm! And..." Feng Wuji ignored Qianjin and stood up, pacing around the room alone, like a general before a big battle considering an important command: "Do I need to call out that little brat Shi Jiu Yang? No way! That ice cube may not talk much, but his face is thicker than mine!"

  Qian Jin gained a new understanding of Duan Feng Er Yi, it turned out that this guy also knew his own face was thick, but could the one called Qi Jiu Yang really have an even thicker face than him? "That kid if he knows there's a warehouse full of cigarettes nearby..." Duan Feng Er Yi raised an eyebrow seriously: "Then I'll be robbed of 50% of my cigarettes... this is too much of a loss!" Cigarette warehouse? Qian Jin looked at Duan Feng Er Yi, then looked at himself, when did he become a cigarette warehouse? This guy's over-familiarity also needs to have some limits, right?

  "It's better to call him up anyway." Duan Feng said, leaning against the wall: "If we're in a tight spot, he can still lend a hand. Otherwise, if we lose, the cigarette warehouse won't provide cigarettes anymore, and I won't even be able to get one cigarette?"

  He found a secluded corner, took out the magic hat from his sleeve, put it on his face and fell asleep immediately, not bothering to listen to this self-proclaimed familiar kid's continued muttering.

  "Ah! What a pity! 50% of the cigarettes! I really can't bear to part with it!" Duan Feng Er cried, his face gloomy: "Why not sign an agreement with that little brat Abandoned Nine Yang first? Just give him 20%? No way?! This kid is also the type who doesn't keep his word, he'll definitely regret it later... It's really a headache! Too much of a headache!"

  "Huh? Where did he get that hat from? Or is it a magical hat?" Tofu finally had his attention drawn to the hat covering Kanji's face, and his black gem-like eyes sparkled with sudden understanding: "He...he actually has a Domain..."

  Dough realm! Isn't this something that any demon-slaying warrior has?! On the contrary, it is a relatively rare existence?! Even if a high-ranking warrior sees it, they will also be shocked to jump up! Those who possess the dough realm often represent a huge force behind them as a backing!

  Feng didn't expect to see Dou Jing at the border, and he was also startled into jumping up: "That... that's not what they said... there might be more than just a few packs of cigarettes on him!"

  If other high-ranking warriors who have seen the world were to see Doujun's excitement over possibly having a few more packs of cigarettes, they would probably be unable to resist drawing their swords and chopping this young man into pieces to feed to the demons.

  "Envy... Ah, true envy......" Feng Wuxie seemed to be saying a monologue in a single breath: "This kid actually has a Douluo... How enviable...... If I had a Douluo, I'd fill it with tobacco! Newbie King! Hmm! I must become the Newbie King and get the reward of the Douluo's fruit! To fulfill my great dream of filling it with tobacco!" Eight hours later... Qian Jing let out a miserable scream, startling Feng Wuxie awake from his sleep.

  He clenched his fist and rolled on the ground, finally confirming one thing: the most terrifying thing in this world was not a magical beast or harsh natural environment, but the mysterious pharmacist Orlala... The Orlala who had adjusted the course of pharmacy... Today's new medicine experiment... The explosion after failure was too powerful... Even Fengyun Jinshen, who had defeated nine demons, couldn't withstand it... He himself turned into a white light and retreated from the endless world.

  Third update! I said ten updates, and it's going to be ten updates! I want monthly tickets!!! Actually, the one above should be Chapter 158, but I accidentally wrote two Chapter 157s, so this one is simply called Chapter 15Q!!! Come on, let's see... how's the rural scenery?
