Xiao Chenyu Was Moved

"Whew, controlling my strength is just too hard! Good thing I didn't kill the Netherwolf King!"

While everyone from Notting Academy was tense with worry, Qin He was just as tightly wound.

The Netherwolf King before him was a hundred-year soul beast. Its soul ring was of little use to Qin He, but it would be very useful to his underling, Xiao Chenyu.

If Qin He had attacked with his full strength, this Netherwolf King probably would not have even had ashes left, much less a soul ring.

Left with no choice, Qin He could only stand still and use the force of the rebound to severely injure the Netherwolf King. Fortunately, he had not killed it outright!

"What the hell? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?"

To the side, Principal Zhao Chong's eyes widened once more, wider than they had ever been before!

The Netherwolf King was badly injured?

Who had done it? How had it been severely injured for no reason at all?

Could it have been Qin He?

Impossible!

He, Zhao Chong, was a dignified Level 38 Soul Elder, yet it had taken him quite some time to defeat this hundred-year Netherwolf King. Qin He was only Level 10—how could he possibly be that strong?

Someone must have acted in secret, or Qin He has some powerful treasure that can counterkill the Netherwolf King!

That thought flashed through Principal Zhao Chong's mind, and he felt that this was the correct answer.

"Boss... Boss, are you all right?"

Not far away, Xiao Chenyu had originally shut his eyes, too afraid to watch the gruesome scene that was about to unfold.

But the next moment, when he opened his eyes, he saw the Netherwolf King lying on the ground and howling in pain.

Meanwhile, Qin He stood leisurely in place, completely uninjured, looking utterly calm and unruffled!

"Did some powerful expert secretly attack and severely injure the Netherwolf King?"

Xiao Chenyu immediately came to that conclusion. When he looked at Qin He again, his eyes were filled with admiration.

As expected of Boss Qin He!

On the surface, this soul beast hunt was merely led by Principal Zhao Chong and several Soul Elder teachers, who were helping them obtain soul rings.

But in reality, given Qin He's status and talent, there had to be quite a few powerful experts secretly protecting Boss Qin He!

However!

Although everyone knew that Qin He had powerful experts protecting him, when danger struck, a person's instinct was still fear!

Yet Boss Qin He had faced such a vicious Netherwolf King without even changing expression. He had not shown the slightest hint of nervousness!

Such unyielding mental fortitude was simply terrifying!

No wonder Boss Qin He was so formidable. Though he had rarely made a move, every time he did, it was earth-shattering!

Being able to follow Boss Qin He was truly the luckiest thing that had ever happened to me, Xiao Chenyu!

Seeing Xiao Chenyu's gaze shift from excitement to worship, then gradually become fervent, Qin He was stunned.

What is this kid imagining now?

"Xiao Chenyu! What are you spacing out for? The Netherwolf King is severely injured. Why aren't you hurrying up and killing it so you can absorb its soul ring? What the hell are you thinking?"

Qin He spoke irritably.

The Xiao Chenyu from the original story had always been a minor character, and there really was a reason for that.

With this intelligence and this reaction speed, he was simply too slow!

If I, Qin He, hadn't transmigrated here, I'd seriously wonder whether this guy could survive until the finale!

However!

When Qin He's words reached the ears of everyone from Notting Academy, everyone's expressions changed.

"Did I hear that right?!"

"Young Master Qin He actually wants to give this hundred-year soul ring to Xiao Chenyu?"

"This is a hundred-year soul ring! It can greatly increase a soul master's power. Plenty of soul hunting teams have turned against one another over a single hundred-year soul ring!"

"Young Master Qin He is far too generous! Xiao Chenyu is merely one of his underlings. Young Master Qin He doesn't even have his first soul ring yet, but he's casually giving it away!"

The Notting Academy students looked at Qin He with confusion and bewilderment in their eyes.

Quite a few of them even felt that Xiao Chenyu had stepped in dog shit to have found such a good boss!

"Young Master Qin He, you should think this through carefully. The first soul ring is of vital importance, and hundred-year soul beasts are not easy to find!"

After being briefly stunned, Principal Zhao Chong could not help but offer a reminder.

After all, people were different.

They were all students of Notting Academy, and Zhao Chong had brought so many of them out. Whether the other students could obtain suitable soul rings was not something he cared much about.

But Qin He was different!

Qin He's father, Qin Zhan, was the Notting City Lord and also Zhao Chong's friend.

Whether out of personal feelings or reason, he hoped Qin He could obtain a good soul ring!

And if Qin He could use this hundred-year Netherwolf King as his first soul ring, the increase to his strength would be immense!

According to Yu Xiaogang's soul ring theory, the maximum age a first soul ring could withstand was a hundred years. This Netherwolf King happened to meet Qin He's requirements.

Even the geniuses of Spirit Hall would have first soul rings around this age.

With this Netherwolf King as his first soul ring, the gap between Qin He and Spirit Hall Academy would not be widened too much!

"Boss Qin He, I can't accept this soul ring. You need it more than I do!"

Xiao Chenyu looked at Qin He with a firm expression.

When Xiao Chenyu first heard that Qin He wanted to give him the soul ring, he had been extremely excited.

But he quickly calmed down.

His boss was willing to go this far just to let him have a good soul ring. If he, Xiao Chenyu, accepted it so heartlessly, would that not make him an ungrateful wretch?

Boss Qin He having such intentions meant that I, Xiao Chenyu, did not make a bad choice in acknowledging him as my boss!

But this first soul ring concerned Boss Qin He's strength. If giving it up affected Boss Qin He's grand plans, then even dying ten thousand times would not atone for my crime!

"Damn it! Xiao Chenyu, is there something wrong with your brain? That soul ring is useless to me. If I tell you to absorb it, then absorb it! Why are you pushing it back and forth with me?"

Qin He's mouth twitched. He wanted nothing more than to slap Xiao Chenyu to death!

This underling was seriously lacking in intelligence.

Didn't you really want this soul ring when the Netherwolf King was still alive?

I, Qin He, had to control my strength and beat this Netherwolf King half to death. Was that easy for me?

Such a good hundred-year soul ring, and you, Xiao Chenyu, are just refusing it? Does your family own a mine or something?

"I really can't take it! Boss Qin He, if I take your soul ring, people will condemn me behind my back! I, Xiao Chenyu, have always valued loyalty above all!"

Xiao Chenyu spoke with conviction, but before he could finish, Qin He cut him off.

"Condemn you behind your back? Right now, I want to poke your head and see how much water has gotten into it! Use this soul ring immediately. If you don't, I'll throw it away!"

Qin He spoke in a stern tone.

"If you don't absorb this soul ring, then don't acknowledge me as your boss! I don't want underlings who are too weak!"
