More Trouble for Me?

Time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wu had become part of Qin He's life, and time continued to pass.

Four years went by. Qin He had grown slightly taller, but eleven-year-old Qin He was not much different from before.

Everything seemed so ordinary.

Notting Academy.

Qin He lay lazily in a chair, basking in the morning sunlight. Everything felt so warm.

Xiao Wu stood beside Qin He, practicing a set of soft techniques, though her gaze drifted toward him from time to time.

"Boss Qin He!"

At the same time, Xiao Chenyu came walking over from afar, breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

His expression was excited as he spoke.

"Boss Qin He, Notting City will be holding a Multi-Academy Tournament soon..."

The moment Qin He heard the words "tournament," his eyes narrowed, and he immediately became alert!

"Sorry, I'm not free! I won't be joining this tournament!"

Qin He hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands. Lying in his recliner, he somehow looked even more indolent than before!

That wasn't right. At this point in the original story, there didn't seem to be any tournament like this!

Qin He felt miserable.

Maybe this competition had existed in the original story after all.

After all, Tang San's six years at Notting Academy had passed in a blur, and the details of that period had never been very specific.

What was more, after Qin He transmigrated here, the plot had already undergone enormous changes. Who knew when some Multi-Academy Tournament would suddenly appear?

"A Multi-Academy Tournament?"

Xiao Wu wore a puzzled expression.

The Multi-Academy Tournament was a competition jointly organized by junior academies from multiple cities in the Heaven Dou Empire.

In a sense, it could also be considered an exchange competition.

The champion of this tournament would have a chance to obtain the soul bone of a powerful soul beast known as the Mammoth Behemoth!

What was a soul bone?

A soul bone was an extremely special item.

Or rather, it was the item soul masters most dreamed of obtaining. Like soul rings, soul bones also came from soul beasts.

However, soul bones were vastly different from soul rings.

The chance of a soul bone appearing was only one in a thousand, or even lower. Generally speaking, only soul beasts of extraordinary strength that had experienced certain special circumstances at the time of death might leave behind a soul bone after dying. It was not like soul rings, which every soul beast possessed.

Thus, soul bones became exceptionally rare and exceptionally valuable.

Another difference between soul bones and soul rings was that, unlike soul rings, they did not have to be used by the person who killed the soul beast. Soul bones could even be sold after being obtained, and one could purchase the soul bones they needed in certain special places.

Any soul bone, even the most ordinary one, was worth an astronomical price, and demand always exceeded supply.

No wonder this Multi-Academy Tournament had drawn countless low-level soul masters like moths to a flame!

However, winning the Multi-Academy Tournament would not be so easy.

Among the junior academies of the Heaven Dou Empire, besides Spirit Hall Junior Academy, there were quite a few prestigious academies!

For example, the Four Elements Academy. In the original story, Tang San had only encountered their advanced academy divisions, but they actually had junior academy divisions as well.

Notting City, on the other hand, truly was home to nothing more than a junior academy...

"As expected of Boss Qin He!"

When Xiao Chenyu heard Qin He refuse, his eyes filled with fervor.

"To Boss Qin He, a mere soul bone is nothing at all!"

"But Boss, I, Xiao Chenyu, want to participate in this Multi-Academy Tournament. I absolutely cannot tolerate being so weak! I want to take first place!"

As he spoke, Xiao Chenyu seemed to radiate a colorful glow!

Win the championship?

It sounded easy enough, but Xiao Chenyu had actually improved greatly compared to the original story.

At this point in the original story, Xiao Chenyu had not broken through Level 20 to become a Great Soul Master. He had merely been a minor stepping-stone character, and the second soul ring he obtained had even been a commonplace white soul ring!

But!

Because of Qin He's appearance, his second soul ring had become a hundred-year soul ring, and Xiao Chenyu had also trained far more diligently than in the original story!

It was precisely because of this that the current Xiao Chenyu was much stronger than before!

However!

Even though Xiao Chenyu was far stronger than before, winning this Multi-Academy Tournament would still not be easy.

Hu Liena, the foremost genius of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation!

The Four Elements Academy, Heaven Dou Royal Academy...

Even Notting Academy itself was filled with hidden talents!

Under such circumstances, it would be harder than ascending to heaven for Xiao Chenyu to rise against the odds!

"You want to take first place?"

Qin He gave his disciple a somewhat surprised look and could not help secretly shaking his head.

"Then go take it!"

It seemed Xiao Chenyu had drunk some fake wine and gotten a little carried away!

Still, if he wanted first place, then he could go take it!

Anyway, this idiotic lackey caused trouble all day whenever he stayed by Qin He's side. As long as he did not disturb Qin He's sleep, he could do whatever he wanted!

"Boss, you agreed?"

An excited expression suddenly appeared on Xiao Chenyu's face!

"What did I agree to?"

Qin He looked utterly bewildered.

Xiao Chenyu solemnly bowed. "Thank you, Boss. I will definitely stay by your side and properly learn how to raise my Soul Power quickly!"

"Thank you, Boss, for giving me this opportunity..."

"Master, please accept my bow!"

Qin He said, "I didn't..."

What did I just say?

I clearly said that if you wanted first place, you should go take it!

When did I say I was taking on a disciple?

Xiao Wu blinked at the side. "Xiao Chenyu, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Xiao Chenyu nodded as though he deeply agreed, then shook his head and said,

"Sister-in-law Xiao Wu, you simply don't understand Boss's far-reaching plans!"

Xiao Chenyu sighed and began explaining.

"Boss Qin He, you were testing me, weren't you!"

"I understand it all!"

Those words, "I understand it all," left even Sister Xiao Wu bewildered.

"Brother Qin He is that amazing? Isn't it just a small competition?"

Xiao Chenyu looked as though everything was within his grasp.

"Sister-in-law Xiao Wu, do you not know about Boss Qin He's ambition to rule the Douluo Continent?"

The moment those words came out, Qin He's face turned even greener.

No, I don't!

"The six words Boss Qin He just said, 'Then go take it,' may sound simple, but they actually contain profound meaning!"

"'Then go'—those four words signify affirmation. Boss is telling me that once I have made a decision, I must persist and never give up halfway!"

"The word 'take' carries the meaning of fighting for something. Boss Qin He is telling me that this Multi-Academy Tournament is a bloody Asura battlefield. If I want to win, I have to fight for it!"

"Of course, Boss Qin He is so powerful that if he makes a move, no one else would even need to compete. That is why Boss Qin He will not act personally. But if Boss Qin He does not act, how will others understand Boss Qin He's purpose?"

"Therefore, Boss Qin He needs a representative, and that representative is me, Xiao Chenyu!"

"Boss Qin He must want to train me to compete, win the championship, and become famous in one stroke, making the entire Heaven Dou Empire submit to Boss Qin He!"
