Qin Tianyu

The voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone turned around, their faces filled with curiosity and surprise, eager to catch a glimpse of the person.

But unlike the excited students, the school leaders on the high platform all darkened their expressions, a flash of killing intent in their eyes.

For the two figures slowly walking toward the sports field were none other than Principal Tao of Huajing University and the notorious Qin Tianyu!

And it was Qin Tianyu who had just spoken.

"Oops, I suddenly remembered that I'm not a student of Imperial University."

Qin Tianyu kept his hands in his pockets, a look of contempt on his face as he let out a few unpleasant laughs. "A university known as the top institution in the Great Xia Empire can't even scrape together enough contestants for a challenge match... I think you should just forfeit; at least that way you might keep some dignity!"

"So this is Qin Tianyu?"

Lin Xia watched Qin Tianyu, who had stopped walking, and carefully sized him up.

The man was about the same height as him and had a thin build. He wore a buzz cut, and there was indeed a certain ruthlessness in his expression.

However, his attire looked nothing like that of a student.

His black leather jacket was covered in graffiti of eerie skulls, a silver chain hung around his neck, and coin-sized studs dangled from his earlobes.

Furthermore, Lin Xia noticed that the back of the hand Qin Tianyu had tucked into his waistband seemed to have a tattoo.

"Yes, that's him. The person next to him is the principal of the school next door, and he's no good either!"

Xu Jian nodded, his eyes cold and vicious as he spoke.

At this moment, Principal Yan and the others, who had been standing on the high platform, had already reached Qin Tianyu and Principal Tao, blocking their path forward.

"Did you get lost, Principal Tao? You're getting on in years, so you shouldn't be wandering around. This isn't Huajing University."

Principal Yan said with a forced smile, "I happen to know a few people who sell health supplements; would you like me to give you their contact information?"

"I appreciate Principal Yan's concern, but this one has not lost his way."

Principal Tao put on a hypocritical front and said coldly, "I came to your school specifically to attend the 'funeral' of the former top institution of the Great Xia Empire. After all, starting tomorrow, that title will belong to me!"

"Oh, right!"

Principal Tao paused deliberately, the corners of his mouth curling up into a look of someone watching a show. "According to reliable sources, General Liu Jie will be coming to watch the match tomorrow!"

"Gulp!"

Principal Yan's throat bobbed, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

It could be said that everyone who heard this opened their mouths in disbelief.

"General Liu Jie?!"

Lin Xia also frowned deeply.

One had to know that General Liu Jie was a legendary figure who had expanded the territory of the Great Xia Empire; one-third of the entire empire's map was his achievement!

Although this world had quite advanced technology, the feudal system was still prevalent.

It could be said that every nation in the world adopted an imperial monarchy.

The emperor held absolute power.

And beneath him, while there were many official positions on paper, as the saying goes, those with low rank often hold great power—General Liu Jie was the undisputed number two figure!

Therefore, how could they not be shocked to learn that the second-in-command of the entire Great Xia Empire would personally come to watch the match tomorrow?

This news made the students of Imperial University even more timid.

After all, who would want to make a fool of themselves in front of such a person?

"Why have you stopped talking?"

Principal Tao sneered, his eyes filled with mockery. "Oh, right, the competition starts tomorrow. How is it that I heard your school hasn't even managed to gather enough contestants?"

"Shall I help you mobilize them?"

Qin Tianyu kept one hand in his pocket and raised his other hand, which bore a skull tattoo, high into the air. With an arrogant smile and a condescending posture, he declared, "Listen up, my name is Qin Tianyu!

I am challenging the entire Imperial University!

Don't look at me with those shocked expressions. With your level of skill, you aren't even qualified to be my sparring partners!

Killing you would be easier than stepping on an annoying ant!

If you have the guts, crawl onto the arena tomorrow and try to slap my face—provided you have the ability to do so!"

After finishing, Qin Tianyu looked at Principal Yan, who was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging, and raised an eyebrow. "How about that? Was my mobilization speech blood-pumping enough?"

Principal Yan did not speak; he was trying hard to restrain his emotions.

After all, he was a respected principal; he could not let a junior's few words goad him into a brawl.

Clearly, the other school leaders present shared the same sentiment.

Meanwhile, the students on the sports field were cursing at Qin Tianyu, practically insulting his entire ancestry.

But ironically, no one stepped forward to accept the challenge...

Although Zhu Tingyu and Liu Yucheng wanted to challenge Qin Tianyu.

However, constrained by the fact that their levels were below 5, they could only give up in frustration... After all, in previous years, the challenge tournament had always been participated in by upperclassmen, and it was never the turn of freshmen.

At this moment, Zhu Tingyu and Liu Yucheng only regretted that they hadn't been born a year earlier to start university sooner!

As for Wu Ziyang, who met the entry requirements, he merely yawned with indifference, maintaining an expression from start to finish that suggested this matter had nothing to do with him.

Just then, Director Xie Feng turned around to scan the students on the field, his gaze finally resting on the queue of Class 4, where Lin Xia was located.

He felt a sense of being born at the wrong time; if this batch of gifted freshmen had been born a year earlier, perhaps it wouldn't be Qin Tianyu's turn to be so arrogant!

Even if they couldn't defeat Qin Tianyu, at least they would have the courage to compete!

Yet now, looking across the entire playground, not a single person stood out...

However, what Director Xie Feng did not know was that among this year's freshmen, someone already met the entry requirements.

At this moment, Lin Xia blinked subconsciously.

Because the system's voice rang in his ears:

[Host detected being mocked!]

[New Mission: Defeat Qin Tianyu in the challenge tournament and vindicate the Great Xia Empire!]

[Mission Reward: Card Reshaping Scroll*1!]

[Card Reshaping Scroll: Can reshape a decomposed card while retaining the skills already studied!]

Upon hearing the function of the Reshaping Scroll, Lin Xia's eyes brightened.

Ever since he had experienced the incident of decomposing Tien Shinhan, he had been worried about one thing.

That was, what if he obtained powerful characters in the future, but their skills were also very tempting?

Then, should he keep the card or decompose it to study the skill?

Now it seemed he didn't need to worry about this anymore!

Not only could Lin Xia decompose cards to obtain skills, but he could also "resurrect" the card characters!

Wouldn't that mean there could be a scene where he, Son Goku, Son Gohan, Son Goten, and others all unleashed a Turtle School Ki Attack together!?

That would be too awesome, wouldn't it?

"System, your mission comes at such a perfect time." Lin Xia's expression darkened as he stared fixedly at Qin Tianyu, "However, even if you didn't issue this mission, I would still defeat this guy!"
