Qin He's Grand Ambition Was Nearly Achieved

"Stop arguing! What do you know? Boss always acts in unfathomable ways. There must be a deeper meaning behind it."

Over at Dorm Six, Xiao Chenyu frowned and put a stop to the irritating quarrel.

Xiao Chenyu stared solemnly at Qin He's back, his heart filling with deep admiration.

Boss Qin He was already incredibly powerful. Defeating Sister-in-law Hu Liena would probably take no more than the flick of a finger!

That performance with Hu Liena on the arena was meant to secure a marriage alliance. More importantly, Boss had his eye on the Spirit Hall forces behind Sister-in-law!

Had Boss's ambitions finally revealed the tip of the iceberg?

First, he would win over the noble children and talented students of Notting Academy. Then, he would form an alliance with Spirit Hall. When Boss raised his arm and called out, perhaps another major power capable of rivaling the two great empires and Spirit Hall would rise!

Alas, a kindred spirit was hard to find!

Only I understand Boss's plans. People like you can only be errand-running lackeys.

"Spirit Hall Exchange Delegation Arrives in Notting City, Its Powerful Strength Draws Attention!"

"Young Master Qin He Defeats Spirit Hall's Golden Generation Seven-on-One; Miss Hu Liena Deliberately Concedes for Love, Creating a Beautiful Tale!"

"Spirit Hall's Favored Daughter Hu Liena and Young Master Qin He Find Love Through a Single Battle!"

Across the Heaven Dou Empire, major newspapers published the latest news. Qin He's story became a headline throughout half the Heaven Dou Empire at flying speed!

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"Shameless scoundrels! Those shameless bastards from Spirit Hall actually resorted to such a despicable tactic as a honey trap!"

Upon the dragon throne, the old man in dragon robes was furious, slamming the table hard.

"That's already the seventh table!"

The eunuch attendants behind him stood perfectly still, eyes on their noses and noses on their hearts, though inwardly they clicked their tongues in amazement.

Xue Ye, ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, had always kept his emotions hidden.

As a wise emperor, Xue Ye had never allowed pointless emotions to cloud his judgment!

Yet this time, Xue Ye had made an exception—for a six-year-old child thousands of miles away.

"Looks like this Qin He truly is an extraordinary figure!"

"Of course. With the talent Young Master Qin He has displayed, once he grows up, he is destined to become a pillar of the Heaven Dou Empire. How could anyone not be angry at seeing him poached by Spirit Hall?"

"Spirit Hall really is a massive pitfall! I only beat a few children. Was there really any need to praise me this much?"

Sitting in a chair in the dormitory, Qin He let out a melancholy sigh.

The old Qin He had been somewhat famous at most in Notting City.

But ever since he defeated the Spirit Hall Delegation, Qin He's reputation had spread through nearly half the Heaven Dou Empire in the blink of an eye!

After all, Qin He had defeated the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall Academy, the continent's finest—and he had accomplished the feat of taking on seven opponents alone!

It was said that after the exchange delegation returned, they even planned to select new members for Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

Qin He clearly wanted to keep a low profile and live a peaceful life, but things often developed far beyond his expectations...

A month passed.

The excitement surrounding the Spirit Hall Exchange Conference seemed to have faded. Qin He lazily basked in the sun, eyes narrowed, looking thoroughly content.

Rumors had already begun circulating around the academy that a genius had fallen.

"Boss Qin He, are you thinking about how to hide your strength again?"

Just as Qin He was lost in thought, someone burst in energetically.

Seeing the contemplative look on Qin He's face once more, Xiao Chenyu's admiration grew even stronger.

As expected of my boss!

Even after achieving such dazzling accomplishments, Lord Qin He was still reflecting, still pondering how to deliberately conceal his abilities?

More than seventy percent of the students at Notting Academy now acknowledged Boss Qin, but how could that possibly satisfy him so easily?

Boss Qin He was only Level 10, yet he was already this powerful. Clearly, all Boss had to do was enter the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a soul ring and become even stronger, but he had deliberately delayed going after a soul beast.

Boss must be preparing some ultimate move!

"It's Xiao Chenyu. What did you say? Hiding my strength?"

Turning around, Qin He looked at the wildly imaginative Xiao Chenyu and could not help but freeze.

This little brother was beyond saving!

I'm thinking about how to slack off, and you're holding a notebook like you want to learn from me. Are you trying to ruin yourself?

A new day arrived.

The morning at Notting Academy was bright and sunny, the air crisp and clear.

That day, in the Principal's Office, Principal Zhao Chong spoke in a gentle, persuasive tone.

"Young Master Qin He, your Soul Power has reached the threshold of Level 10. It is time for you to enter the Soul Hunting Forest and obtain a soul ring!"

"In a few days, Notting Academy will be organizing a soul-hunting expedition. Would Young Master Qin He be willing to participate?"

On Douluo Continent, before Soul Masters fought, they first revealed their martial souls, then counted the soul rings on them to distinguish the gap in strength.

Soul rings were special halos that appeared after soul beasts died. Every ten levels, Soul Masters had to enter a forest, kill a soul beast, and absorb its soul ring before they could continue leveling up.

Every Soul Master on Douluo Continent wanted to raise their Soul Power quickly, reach the maximum level as soon as possible, then hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings.

Yet Qin He remained leisurely and carefree. He clearly possessed Innate Full Soul Power, but after so long, he still did not seem concerned at all?

During this time, many principals from other academies had come to inquire, asking Zhao Chong whether Qin He had been mistreated so badly that he was deliberately refusing to level up.

Then, incidentally, they discussed talent cultivation and transferring schools...

What mistreating Qin He?

This guy was simply lazy!

It had been a whole month. As the principal, I waited for so long, yet you brat did not make a single move!

With such incredible talent, you still refused to hurry up, kill soul beasts, and level up!

"The Soul Hunting Forest? The dungeon every Douluo Continent player has to grind?"

Qin He's little face showed deep helplessness.

As a Level 1000 big shot, born at Level 1000, Qin He had clearly never experienced the feeling of hunting soul beasts for soul rings.

Soul rings did nothing to improve Qin He's strength. They were simply a waste of time!

A trip to the Soul Hunting Forest would definitely take more than ten days, sleeping rough and eating whatever he could find. It would be exhausting!

Especially since it would waste time I could spend sleeping!

"Principal, I feel that my Soul Power is not pure enough yet. I need a little more time to refine it..."

Qin He looked earnestly at Principal Zhao Chong and spoke unhurriedly.

Zhao Chong's face darkened. "Young Master Qin He, are you joking with me? Being low-key is a good thing, but taking it too far is just showing off!"

"Your current Soul Power is enough that even Level 20 Great Soul Masters are no match for you. Even Spirit Hall's Golden Generation could not defeat you. How else do you want to improve?"

He was showing off far too much!

This guy was practically begging to be beaten!

"I think I can still improve just a little more..."

Before Qin He could finish, Zhao Chong cut him off.

"No more discussion. It's settled! If you still refuse to obtain a soul ring, are you planning to retire at Notting Academy?"
