That evening, I returned to the dormitory.

"Boss Qin Qi, your bed is all made."

"Boss Qin Qi, would you like a midnight snack?"

"Boss Qin Qi, do you need me to warm your bed for you?"

"Huh? What the hell was that last part? Get the hell away from me!"

Looking at Wang Sheng, who had approached him with a fawning expression and offered to warm his bed, Qin Qi spoke up with immediate disgust.

"Those who offer favors without cause have ulterior motives. What are you lot up to? Planning to knock me out once I fall asleep?"

Qin Qi sat on his bed and questioned his classmates from Dorm Seven.

"We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare."

"Hm? You wouldn't dare?"

"No, it's not that we wouldn't dare; it's just that we don't have any such intentions."

"Since you defeated Big Sister Xiao Wu, you are now the boss of our Dorm Seven."

"It is only right that we do things for our boss."

Wang Sheng paused as he spoke, looking at Qin Qi with hesitation in his eyes.

"I know what you're going to say. As the boss, I get to enjoy certain privileges, but at the same time..."

"If the Formal Students bully you, I have to stand up for you, right?"

Qin Qi knew the rules of the Dorm Seven boss; being the boss meant enjoying special treatment, but if the Work-Study Students were bullied, the boss had to step up to protect them.

"Yes."

Wang Sheng nodded. That was exactly what he meant, but he had been afraid Qin Qi would refuse once he heard it.

"Rest assured. As long as I am at this academy, those Formal Students won't dare to bully the Work-Study Students."

Qin Qi patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder. His strength had been witnessed by every student in the academy. As long as he remained a student there, the Formal Students would not dare to harass the Work-Study Students.

"Then thank you, Boss Qin Qi."

Wang Sheng and the others looked incredibly excited, and they showered Qin Qi with more flattery.

After dismissing Wang Sheng and the others, Qin Qi lay on his bed, preparing to enter the Study Space.

"No! I don't accept this! Let's fight again!"

Xiao Wu, who had been watching from the side, could no longer hold back. She jumped out suddenly and challenged Qin Qi.

"I was careless before. Let's go again."

Xiao Wu gritted her teeth as she glared at Qin Qi. During their previous spar, she had been taken out in a single move. However, in her heart, she felt it was only because she had been caught off guard. If they fought for real, her Soft Technique would definitely not lose!

"Xiao Wu, it's late. Don't make a scene; go to sleep. We have class tomorrow."

Qin Qi rolled over, too lazy to even stand up. There was no benefit to winning a fight right now. Why waste the time? He would rather use it to study.

"No way! Get up and fight me!"

Xiao Wu rushed to Qin Qi's side and reached out to pull him up, but at that very moment, she heard a hissing sound. She turned her head to see that the Qi Poison Datura Snake had snuck up behind her at some point. It was currently reared up, staring at her, as if it would strike the moment she moved again.

"Alright, the fight is over. You lost again."

Qin Qi sat up, smiling as he reached out to pat Xiao Wu on the shoulder.

"You—you ambushed me again!"

Xiao Wu looked at Qin Qi and stomped her foot in anger, though she did not deny that she had lost. If the Datura Snake hadn't intentionally made that hissing sound, she never would have noticed it.

"That's not an ambush; that's attacking from your blind spot."

"If you lose once, you can call it carelessness, but what about the second time? A coincidence?"

"If there's a third time, what excuse will you find for yourself then?"

Qin Qi looked at Xiao Wu and continued.

"You—I can't argue with you! I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Xiao Wu turned around huffily, returned to her own bed, dove under the covers, and curled herself into a ball.

Qin Qi ignored Xiao Wu and glanced at Tang San's empty bed, his mind drifting to Tang Hao.

This guy shouldn't be shameless enough to ambush me over something this trivial, right?

Qin Qi pondered for a moment, then realized that if it were Tang Hao, he might actually be that shameless. Forget it.

Forget it, no use thinking about it. If he doesn't show up, my worrying is pointless, and if he does, I can't hide anyway. Better to just rest.

If Tang Hao dares to come, then it's one for one. At worst, we die together!

Qin Qi could now use Dan Shi twice, and combined with his disguise as a child, he had a chance to take one down with him if Tang Hao dared to get close.

Once he had that figured out, Qin Qi lay down on his bed, entered the Study Space, and began to grind!

Meanwhile, after sulking under her covers for a long time, Xiao Wu gradually calmed down.

She reflected on their previous battles and suddenly realized something.

One successful ambush is luck, two is despicable, but the third... doesn't that represent true strength?

Xiao Wu recalled the battles she had witnessed involving Qin Qi: he had defeated Wang Sheng in a single move.

It was the same against Liu Long, the students from other schools, and even Tang San—all defeated in one strike.

Once or twice could be dismissed as Qin Qi being despicable and shameless for relying on ambushes, but if he succeeded every single time.

Then wasn't that a form of strength in itself!

At this moment, inside Grandmaster's room.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Tang San is truly disappointing! Even with my guidance, he still lost to that brat!"

"It was my carelessness, I misjudged him!"

"That Tang San is simply not worth molding; he is completely incapable of understanding my teachings!"

Yu Xiaogang was furious. He felt that Tang San, having lost to Qin Qi, was nothing but trash!

There was nothing wrong with his own teachings; it was purely that Tang San was too useless!

"When I saw the Clear Sky Hammer, I thought the boy was that man's child, but it seems I guessed wrong!"

"If that's the case, I must find another talent to fulfill my ambitions!"

After venting, Yu Xiaogang gradually calmed down. He didn't want to waste any more time on Tang San.

He needed to find a more gifted student; only then could he satisfy his aspirations!

"Bang!"

Just as Yu Xiaogang was contemplating his future, his door was suddenly pushed open.

A burly figure wearing a messy black cloak appeared in the doorway.

"You!"

Grandmaster tried to speak, but the next second, an incredibly powerful pressure of Spirit Power crushed down on him, rendering him completely unable to utter a word.

"Grandmaster, it's been a long time."

Tang Hao looked at Grandmaster inside the room and spoke.

Just as Qin Qi had guessed, Tang Hao had watched that match, and he was indeed shameless enough.

However, he hadn't chosen to go after Qin Qi; in his eyes, Qin Qi was just a child.

He didn't think Qin Qi was particularly impressive, nor did he think Tang San was lacking; he only felt that Tang San had been careless.

As for the root of that carelessness, Tang Hao had pondered it and finally pinned the blame on Yu Xiaogang.

He felt that if Tang San hadn't spent so much energy taking care of Yu Xiaogang during this time, his cultivation would certainly have been better.

He would have performed better in the battle, so ultimately, the problem was Yu Xiaogang!
