Qin He was finally ready to leave the mountain!
This news reached countless factions across the Douluo Continent in an extremely short time.
Spirit Hall. Heaven Dou Empire Branch.
Platinum Bishop Salas wore a solemn expression. Standing below him was a Spirit Hall staff member who had come to report intelligence.
"Your Excellency Bishop, Young Master Qin He is preparing to leave Notting Academy and head to the Soul Hunting Forest to obtain a soul ring!"
The intelligence officer looked at Platinum Bishop Salas resentfully, nearly bursting into tears.
"Is Qin He your biological son, Salas?"
"You make me report on him every day. You even want to know what Qin He ate for breakfast. Could it be that Qin He is really some immortal?"
Ever since Spirit Hall's Golden Generation had suffered a crushing defeat at Notting Academy, Heaven Dou Empire intelligence agents had begun appearing at Notting Academy more frequently.
"Why are we keeping an eye on Qin He? Don't you have any damn sense of it?"
In the branch of Spirit Hall, Platinum Bishop Salas's eye twitched violently as he grumbled inwardly.
It made no sense!
Qin He, with Level 10 Soul Power, had defeated all of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation while fighting above his level. And he had looked completely at ease while doing it. Just how much strength had he been hiding?
Or did Qin He possess some special cultivation method? Did he only appear lazy and uncommitted to cultivation because it was all an act?
Spirit Hall was such a massive organization. In the future, it dreamed of unifying the continent.
With such lofty ambitions, if they could not even see through a child, would they not become a laughingstock?
"The more information we gather on Qin He now, the less passive we will be in the future!"
"It would be fine if Qin He joined Spirit Hall when he grew up. But if he becomes an enemy of Spirit Hall, we must be on guard!"
"How about it? Should Spirit Hall find a soul master to learn Qin He's cultivation method—the Sleeping Cultivation Method?"
"Keep a close watch on Qin He. His choice of first soul ring is of utmost importance. It may conceal the secret behind why he is so powerful!"
Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
Hu Liena gazed blankly at the sky. Her stunning face had grown somewhat pale, while her fiery red hair spilled down her back, lending her a pleasing beauty.
"Nana, are you still blaming yourself for losing to Qin He?"
Beside her, a handsome face leaned close. It belonged to Hu Liena's older brother, Xie Yue.
Xie Yue was usually exceptionally calm, but at the mention of Qin He, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Qin He may be stronger than us for now, but he is incredibly lazy. He is only getting his first soul ring now. In the future, the rate at which he improves will definitely fall behind ours!"
"And Notting Academy is just a small place. The soul masters there have no way to help Qin He hunt high-level soul rings!"
"Given time, the humiliation Qin He inflicted upon Spirit Hall's Golden Generation will certainly be repaid in full!"
Xie Yue was extremely confident!
It was the pride of a Spirit Hall soul master, as well as his profound sense of belonging to Spirit Hall!
Xie Yue's analysis seemed to make some sense.
On the Douluo Continent, a soul master's choice of soul rings was extremely important.
The higher the level of soul beast hunted, the greater the boost in strength it brought to the soul master.
If the soul ring attributes were mismatched, a soul master's combat power could even decline!
Students at Spirit Hall Academy had dedicated researchers who tailored soul ring configurations specifically for them.
As for Notting Academy, when they went hunting soul beasts, they probably just used whatever they happened to catch!
Of course, if Xie Yue knew that Qin He was actually a Level 1000 powerhouse who did not need soul rings at all, he would probably cry out loud!
Hu Liena swept a calm glance over Xie Yue. "Brother, do you really think so little of Qin He? I think this fellow is unfathomable. When he obtains his soul ring this time, he will probably shock everyone!"
After saying that, Hu Liena's face reddened slightly.
Naturally, Xie Yue saw this scene perfectly clearly. His mouth could not help twitching.
"Damn Qin He! I curse you to get beaten to death by a soul beast while fighting one!"
Notting Academy, inside a classroom.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stood below the lectern, earnestly instructing his only disciple, Tang San.
"Little San! Have you heard that Qin He is going to obtain his first soul ring?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression was extremely complicated.
This youth had crushed Spirit Hall's Golden Generation with Level 10 Soul Power. What extraordinary talent he possessed!
Yet this fellow was also wasting his talent so utterly!
After defeating Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, all he thought about every day was sleeping. How infuriatingly heartbreaking!
"Teacher, is Qin He really compressing his Soul Power and deliberately refusing to level up? Is there something wrong with your martial soul theory?"
At the side, Tang San wore the expression of a curious child, clearly eager to give it a try as well.
"Compressing my ass! Can you even compare yourself to Qin He?"
Yu Xiaogang scolded him with a livid face.
What did it matter how gifted Qin He was if he lacked ambition?
Soul master ranks were cultivated through meditation. There was absolutely no room for laziness.
With Qin He's attitude toward cultivation, no matter how talented he was, he would sooner or later fall from genius to mediocrity!
"I see! Qin He is merely a small stumbling block on my path through life! He is so unmotivated. I, Tang San, will definitely surpass him in the future!"
After hearing Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San regained his confidence once more.
This was the Grandmaster renowned throughout the Douluo Continent. How could his theories possibly be wrong?
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Xue Ye frowned in dissatisfaction and said:
"This is the latest intelligence?"
"Qin He already possessed Innate Full Soul Power two months ago!"
"It has been more than two months, and he is only now going to obtain his first soul ring?"
"How are the teachers at Notting Academy doing their jobs? They are trying to ruin a genius of the Heaven Dou Empire!"
At the court assembly, Xue Ye rarely vented his anger on his ministers. He also urged the minister in charge of education to pay attention to the situation at Notting Academy.
"Send someone to investigate!"
"Qin He is obtaining his first soul ring in the forest. Spirit Hall will definitely not let this chance slip by. They will interfere!"
"You must protect Qin He well. If even a single hair on his head is harmed, you will answer for it!"
The tranquil Notting Academy was once again swept up in turmoil!
Soul Hunting Forest.
This was a forest raised by the Heaven Dou Empire. Only soul masters who had obtained a permit issued by Spirit Hall could enter the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts.
As long as one confirmed that their strength had reached the peak of a stage and required a soul ring to advance, and received guarantees from three nobles, they could head to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain a soul ring.
At the entrance, a group from Notting Academy had set up camp.
