Xiao Chenyu's Confidence

Thirty minutes later.

His Highness Xue Beng, bruised and battered, followed his father, Xue Ye, into the academy office with an utterly dejected expression, looking as though he wanted to cry but had no tears left.

"You're saying Qin He won't be participating in this Multi-Academy Tournament, and is instead sending a lackey named Xiao Chenyu?"

"And this Xiao Chenyu is using the Rolling Cultivation Method?"

A trace of confusion flickered through Xue Ye's cloudy eyes before vanishing. His face remained as still as an ancient well, betraying no emotion.

The Heaven Dou Empire's intelligence reports had indeed mentioned Xiao Chenyu's strange behavior.

However, Xue Ye had assumed that Xiao Chenyu had simply lost his mind. He would never have imagined that rolling around could have even the slightest connection to cultivating Soul Power!

"Your Majesty, this Rolling Cultivation Method has no basis whatsoever. If it really worked, then Xiao Chenyu has supposedly been rolling around for over ten days. His Soul Power level should have improved at least somewhat..."

At his side, Meng Shenji voiced his speculation, clearly not holding much faith in the so-called Rolling Cultivation Method.

Nonsense. Soul Masters of Douluo Continent had inherited their methods for so many years, yet no one had ever heard of someone breaking through their level by rolling around!

Besides, Qin He might be a cultivation genius with a God-Tier Spirit, but his ability to guide others could not possibly be that extraordinary!

Rolling cultivation? If such a bizarre cultivation method actually worked, then wouldn't pandas, who loved rolling about more than anything, be the strongest creatures in the world?

"Old Meng! That may not be the case! Young Master Qin He's Rolling Cultivation Method must have a matching mental cultivation technique. Besides, if the method were useless, would Young Master Qin He deceive his own lackey? Would Xiao Chenyu really be stupid enough to ignore everyone's gossip and roll around on the training field every day?"

His Highness Xue Beng snorted indignantly and retorted loudly.

You adults always think that I, Xue Beng, am just a child who knows nothing?

I think you adults are the ones with rigid minds!

This Rolling Cultivation Method was clearly a peerless cultivation art, one in ten thousand!

Ever since I started practicing this rolling technique, my body has felt much lighter. Every time I stand up after rolling, I feel like I'm floating among the clouds!

I should be close to breaking through...

Xue Beng felt deeply wronged.

Ever since he was young, he had grown up under scoldings. No matter what he wanted to do, his father, Xue Ye, would always beat him severely!

Then, after beating him, Xue Ye would add that he should learn properly from Qin He!

Yet!

This time, Xue Beng had been wronged beyond measure!

He had obviously been learning from Qin He. Wasn't that what His Majesty Xue Ye had told him to do?

So why had he still been beaten?

"Rolling around? It works?"

At the side, Xue Ye's lips twitched for a long while. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

As Xue Beng grew older, he had turned out completely wrong. Normally, he was no different from some spoiled playboy. What proper thing could he possibly do?

Yet this absurd Rolling Cultivation Method was being defended so forcefully, and Qin He—the model child everyone else's children were compared to—was supposedly backing it. It did not seem fake!

"Your Majesty, rolling around does no harm anyway. Since His Highness Xue Beng wants to try it, let him try!"

At the side, Meng Shenji, Old Meng, secretly shook his head and pronounced Xue Beng beyond saving!

This child was hopeless!

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, the only princes who had survived to adulthood were His Highness Xue Beng and His Highness Xue Qinghe.

His Highness Xue Qinghe had displayed an exceptional Spirit at a young age and possessed outstanding talent, while Xue Beng had become like this!

Ah, let him do as he pleased!

With His Highness Xue Qinghe in the Heaven Dou Empire, it might actually be better for Xue Beng to appear incompetent, lest the royal family suffer the tragedy of brothers turning against one another...

"Try what? Someone, beat him!"

Xue Ye's expression hardened as he said, "This child will never amount to anything unless he is beaten!"

"If I hadn't beaten him before, would this child have known to learn from Qin He?"

"Besides, he is a prince. Rolling around in public like that—what kind of behavior is that?"

"Even if Young Master Qin He did spread this Rolling Cultivation Method, couldn't you find somewhere secluded to roll around? Couldn't you test it on someone else first?"

"You were in such a hurry to roll, Xue Beng. Is your Spirit a ball?"

Xue Beng: "..."

Qin He, damn you!

This was such a scam!

Naturally, Qin He had no idea that while lying around at Notting Academy and doing nothing but sleeping all day, he had somehow brought so much trouble upon himself.

As time passed, the Multi-Academy Tournament drew ever closer.

"Brother Qin He, Xiao Chenyu has been rolling around on the training field for a month now. Can this Rolling Cultivation Method really allow him to rapidly increase his strength?"

At the side, Xiao Wu watched Xiao Chenyu roll back and forth across the training field with a worried expression. Her delicate brows twitched fiercely several times.

He had been rolling around for more than a month. Logically speaking, if this move worked, Xiao Chenyu should have immediately broken through his Soul Power level!

At the very least, his Soul Power should have become more refined than before.

Yet Xiao Wu, as a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, possessed exceptionally sharp powers of observation. Over the past month, Xiao Chenyu seemed not to have changed at all!

His level had not risen, his Soul Power had not increased, and every day he returned to the dormitory after being ridiculed by others...

"What did you say? Rolling around?"

Qin He's lips twitched, and he fell into a state of complete bewilderment.

When had I ever told Xiao Chenyu to go roll around?

I only told him to get lost and stop disturbing my sleep. What exactly did Xiao Chenyu imagine from that?

This guy really was persistent. He had actually rolled around on Notting Academy's training field for an entire month...

Looking at that diligent figure, then at himself lounging lazily in his chair, Qin He could not help feeling an intense sense of guilt.

"Should I work a little harder too?"

"I used to sleep twenty-four hours a day. This time, I'll change it to twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes, and fifty-nine seconds..."

Contrary to what Qin He imagined, Xiao Chenyu on the training field had not become dispirited after a month of rolling around. Instead, he looked more energetic than ever!

"Hahaha, as expected of Boss Qin He! He casually taught me the Rolling Cultivation Method, and it has actually increased my strength so tremendously!"

Fanatical!

Happy!

Xiao Chenyu clenched his fists excitedly. As he felt grateful to Qin He, his gaze also brimmed with confidence.

"In this Multi-Academy Tournament, no matter what opponent comes, as long as Boss Qin He doesn't enter the field, I, Xiao Chenyu, shall already stand undefeated!"

"First place this time, the spirit bone this time—they will definitely be mine, Xiao Chenyu's!"
