From this day onward, I, Tang San, will strive to learn from Brother Qin He. One day, I will surpass Brother Qin He! Tang San silently made up his mind.
Seeing the faintly admiring look in the other boy's eyes, Qin He's heart skipped a beat.
What the hell is this?
What kind of reading comprehension did you people come up with now?
Something about this seems off!
Notting Academy.
The principal's office.
Principal Zhao Chong, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and Qin He's father, Qin Zhan.
They were still the same three people, but their expressions were completely different.
"Grandmaster, I'm terribly sorry. My son hit too hard and accidentally injured your disciple. I offer you my apologies!"
Qin Zhan wore a grief-stricken expression, as though it were his own son who had been injured.
"Enough with the act! You're probably laughing to yourself behind my back!"
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang said irritably.
Tang San had been injured and decisively defeated by Qin He in the challenge. As his teacher, Yu Xiaogang naturally lost face as well.
However, Qin He's handling of the matter left Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang seemingly unable to find any room to make trouble.
A spar between students was meant to be a form of training. Even teachers did not seem to be in a position to interfere.
Besides, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang himself was merely a Level 25 Great Soul Master. Compared with Qin He's backing, Qin He's father was the City Lord of Notting City, a Count, and a Soul King!
Moreover, after defeating his disciple Tang San, Qin He had not pressed the issue. Instead, he had said plenty of polite words.
The way he conducted himself did not resemble that of a six-year-old child at all. He was more like a seasoned old hand who left no loose ends!
Could noble education truly be this terrifying? At such a young age, he already has such deep scheming!
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so he could be considered nobly born as well.
Yet clearly, most nobles were useless fools. Someone like Qin He, who possessed both strength and talent while also being so flawless in his conduct, was rarer than phoenix feathers and qilin horns!
"Young Lord Qin He truly possesses the bearing of a dragon and phoenix. At only six years old, he already knows how to manage his subordinates so well. Brother Qin Zhan, you've raised a fine son!"
At the side, Principal Zhao Chong could not help sighing in admiration as well.
Zhao Chong, Qin Zhan, and Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang were all friends, so they did not deliberately hide many things from one another.
Ever since Young Lord Qin He entered Notting Academy, the noble students had become far less arrogant and domineering, and they all obeyed Qin He's every command.
Qin He had even gained great prestige among the upperclassmen as soon as he entered the academy. Several upperclassmen leaders treated him with the utmost respect.
This respect was not because of Qin He's status, but because they genuinely admired him as a person!
As everyone knew, these nobles of Notting Academy would most likely inherit their families' titles after graduation.
Even the commoner students were all one-in-ten-thousand geniuses.
At such a young age, he had already won over so many future geniuses. Once Qin He grew up, just how terrifying a force would this become?
Is my son Qin He really that awesome?
Even Qin Zhan looked bewildered after hearing Zhao Chong's explanation.
Qin Zhan was now renowned far and wide. He was the City Lord of Notting City and the only Count in the city.
But what had he been doing when he was six?
He had probably still been playing with mud!
His son Qin He's talent could be called inborn, but understanding how to win people over at six years old—wasn't that monstrous?
Perhaps this attempt to win people over had merely been a coincidence.
But when he recalled how his son was always calm and orderly, no matter what he did, Qin Zhan felt that perhaps it really was possible?
Spirit Hall.
Heaven Dou Empire Branch.
Platinum Bishop Salas sat in the main seat of the church, holding an intelligence report in his hand.
Qin He's name stood prominently in the very first line of the report.
"After being tested and found to possess top-tier talent, this child Qin He has kept a low profile and rarely left home. He almost never makes a move, making it impossible to accurately assess his strength. He appears to have become an ordinary person!"
"His only recorded action was defeating Tang San, a fellow student of the same year, in a single move. Tang San is a Level 10 Soul Master with the Blue Silver Grass Spirit. He once defeated a Level 15 upperclassman Soul Master despite the level gap, but Tang San's Spirit is a Trash Spirit, so this battle holds little value for assessment!"
Reading the words on the report, Salas frowned deeply, his expression ugly.
Spirit Hall possessed immense influence, and its intelligence network was of paramount importance!
Under Spirit Hall's densely woven intelligence network, whenever a genius emerged anywhere on Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall would learn of it immediately.
Even if they could not recruit the genius for the time being, Spirit Hall would still obtain a thorough understanding of the person's strength and Spirit!
This intelligence network, refined to the utmost extreme, allowed Spirit Hall to easily discover any weakness its opponents possessed.
That was why Spirit Hall Academy stood above the entirety of Douluo Continent!
However!
At this moment, Spirit Hall knew absolutely nothing about the strength of a mere six-year-old child!
Below Platinum Bishop Salas, Su Yuntao, who had come to report the intelligence, could not help sighing as well.
"Your Excellency Bishop, Young Lord Qin He is indeed extraordinary. How about Spirit Hall sends someone to test him?"
Su Yuntao suggested.
Though he called it a suggestion, testing Qin He would not be so easy.
To test an ordinary Soul Master, they only needed to send out an expert and find some secluded place for a fight.
But Qin He was the son of the City Lord of Notting City. If he did not wish to make a move, there was truly nothing they could do about it!
"There's no need for that. Let the younger generation settle the affairs of the younger generation! Qin He may be formidable, but Spirit Hall's Golden Generation is no pushover either!"
As soon as Su Yuntao finished speaking, Platinum Bishop Salas shook his head with an inscrutable smile.
Spirit Hall's Golden Generation referred to the younger generation of Spirit Hall Academy. Every one of them was a peerless genius possessing a top-tier Spirit.
"Could it be..."
When Su Yuntao heard Platinum Bishop Salas mention the Golden Generation, his eyes immediately lit up.
"That's right. In a few days, Spirit Hall Academy will send the Golden Generation to Notting Academy for an exchange. By then, no matter how Qin He tries to hide himself, he will be dragged out into the open completely!"
Platinum Bishop Salas spoke with complete confidence, as though victory were already in his grasp.
Spirit Hall Academy's admission standards had never been easy to meet.
Only those with Innate Soul Power of Level 7 or above and a powerful awakened Spirit were qualified to enter Spirit Hall Academy.
Among them, the Golden Generation consisted of seven people, each with Innate Full Soul Power comparable to Qin He's.
By now, all of them had obtained their first Soul Ring and were already above Level 15.
Hu Lina, their leader, had even reached Level 18. Her Spirit was the exceedingly rare Bewitching Heart Fox, naturally capable of bewitching all living beings and immensely powerful!
With such a formidable lineup, could they still fail to force Qin He to reveal his trump card?
