Xiao Chenyu: Don't Come Any Closer~

Xiao Chenyu, Don't Come Any Closer~

Leisurely days always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

Under his parents' astonished gazes, Ye Zhiqiu created a shadow clone. After instructing it to stay home with his parents and serve as their bodyguard, he headed out to find Tang San and Xiao Wu, planning to enroll at Nuoding Intermediate Academy together.

Fortunately, Ye Zhiqiu's parents did not understand the significance of soul ring colors. Otherwise, the purple thousand-year first ring and black ten-thousand-year second ring he displayed would have absolutely made their eyes pop.

Over the past month, cities large and small throughout Douluo Continent had been bustling. Ye Zhiqiu's clones were simply too good at stirring up trouble; some had even been wanted by Spirit Hall.

The various Great Soul Arenas had become the subject of people's post-meal chatter. Once people talked about it enough, naturally, some began noticing the flaws.

Whenever all those troublemaking soul masters disappeared, they were always accompanied by a puff of white smoke before vanishing without a trace.

This... was terrifying when one thought about it carefully!

So many towns had soul masters causing trouble in exactly the same way. Clearly, this was organized and disciplined criminal mischief.

It gave people the feeling that a storm was brewing. Although no one knew why the soul masters in this organization specialized only in insulting people—and did so in such vicious ways, with all kinds of novel phrases endlessly emerging—

In many people's eyes, this organization's conduct was far from righteous. Naturally, it could not be anything good, so they classified it as an evil faction.

People went to Spirit Hall to report it every day, and Spirit Hall was deeply troubled by the matter as well. As a result, quite a few soul masters impersonated by Ye Zhiqiu were captured and interrogated by Spirit Hall, including Su Yuntao, who had been arrested several times. Ye Zhiqiu merely smiled indifferently at this. Hehe, go ahead and search. If you can catch me, I lose.

Meanwhile, his Negative Emotion Value had been soaring over the past month. He had already bought the origins of both Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, and had spent 50,000 Negative Emotion Value to upgrade his Mangekyo into the Eternal Mangekyo.

Even after spending so much, he still had nearly 200,000 Negative Emotion Value left.

From this, it was clear that Multiple Shadow Clones truly was a godly skill. Not only did it let Ye Zhiqiu farm points easily and happily, but the combat experience his clones gained after competing in the soul arenas was also an extremely valuable asset.

And Ye Zhiqiu obtained all of it while lying down. A cheat-powered life really was this comfortable.

That afternoon, Ye Zhiqiu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu arrived in Nuoding City once again. This time, they had come to enroll at Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

They had heard that the principal of Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy was the biological elder brother of the principal of Nuoding Academy. One was a Soul King, the other a Soul Elder. Each had founded an academy, both located in Nuoding City, and it had once become a celebrated tale in the city.

Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy did not occupy much more land than Nuoding Academy. Though it was an intermediate soul master academy, the proportion of soul masters on Douluo Continent was simply far too low.

The entire Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy had only a little over two hundred students in total, even fewer than Nuoding Academy.

However, not a single one of these students was below level ten. Even the weakest were level eleven and had already taken their first steps into the realm of soul masters. Their combat strength naturally could not be compared to the rookies at Nuoding Academy.

Today was the academy's registration day, so the school gates were naturally bustling.

The moment the three arrived, they spotted several familiar faces.

"Eh, isn't that Xiao Chenyu?" Xiao Wu pointed at the familiar face surrounded like the moon among stars by a group of teenage boys, blinking with interest.

"There's no need to be surprised. Xiao Chenyu is level twelve now, so naturally he can attend Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy too. But he seems pretty popular?" Tang San was somewhat puzzled. Back at Nuoding Academy, hadn't this guy been Ah Qiu's number-one lackey? Why did he look like the leader here at Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy? Ye Zhiqiu's lips curled slightly. Little San had good talent, a clever mind, and worked hard at cultivation, but as a shut-in, he was a little slow when it came to social relationships.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled. "Did you forget that Xiao Chenyu's father is the City Lord of Nuoding City? Teenagers aren't like those six- or seven-year-old children at Nuoding Academy who don't understand anything. Many of their families need the City Lord's Mansion to handle matters for them, so naturally they're willing to curry favor with Xiao Chenyu. Connections are very important to some people." Ye Zhiqiu slowly explained these social niceties to the two of them. Tang San and Xiao Wu were not exactly idiots in this regard, but they were not particularly sharp either. After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's explanation, they both wore looks of sudden realization.

"Let's go. Since we've run into him, let's go say hello and give little Xiao Yu a surprise." Ye Zhiqiu revealed a mischievous smile.

Tang San and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, both seeing pity in the other's eyes. This kid was truly too miserable.

Ever since he had taken the initiative to cause trouble at Nuoding Academy, he had been exploited by Ye Zhiqiu for an entire year. Now that he had finally come to Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy, Ye Zhiqiu had unexpectedly come too. It seemed he would have to be exploited for several more years. Surrounded by the crowd, Xiao Chenyu was currently grinning like a chrysanthemum. Among the students flattering him, there were quite a few whose levels were far higher than his, yet weren't they still shamelessly groveling and flattering him?

This was the benefit of the City Lord's Mansion's power.

Having come to Nuoding Intermediate Academy, he could finally experience the prestige of being the academy boss again. Unlike at Nuoding Academy, where he was exploited by that great demon every week. Just thinking about it was miserable.

At that thought, Xiao Chenyu suddenly remembered—wait, hadn't that great demon gone to hunt his first soul ring at the end of the semester? Wouldn't that mean he could attend Nuoding Intermediate Soul Master Academy too?

"Fuck." Xiao Chenyu suddenly cursed amid the crowd. Ignoring the puzzled looks around him, he anxiously spun around and looked everywhere, as if searching for something. At a certain moment, Xiao Chenyu's gaze suddenly sharpened. Oh, no! He had really seen that great demon! And that great demon was walking over with that familiar, kindly smile! He was coming. He was coming. He was coming over with that kindly smile! Xiao Chenyu, who had been beaming with pride just moments ago, instantly turned as red as pig liver upon seeing Ye Zhiqiu. His two top lackeys beside him, Ling Feng and Liu Long, were equally thrown into chaos.

Watching Ye Zhiqiu draw closer and closer, Xiao Chenyu panicked and involuntarily took several steps back. "Wait... don't come any closer~"
