Naked Humiliation

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Shen Yuan sat opposite him, looking at him with a blank expression.

"You know a One-Star Da Dou Shi?"

"I didn't know him, I just asked casually."

Qin Yu put down his teacup, his expression returning to normal, but he was inwardly puzzled.

Han Xian.

In the original novel, when Xiao Yan arrived at the Jia Nan Academy, the leader of the Medicine Gang was Han Xian.

Although his strength was average, he was still a Four-Grade Alchemist, a notable figure in the Inner Academy.

But this Han Xian in front of me... he actually ended up taking charge of the Medicine Gang?

Qin Yu thought about it and felt there was only one possibility.

Shen Yuan quit after a short time, or maybe he graduated and left, leaving the Medicine Gang gang leaderless.

During this time, Qin Yu also learned about the composition of the Medicine Gang members.

Apart from Shen Yuan, the most capable people among the others were only two half-baked fourth-rank officials, so Shen Yuan's position as the leader was very secure.

"By the way, have any experts sent in any orders for alchemy lately?"

Qin Yu steered the conversation back on track, while Shen Yuan gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"They can't be available every day. The price of a fourth-grade pill isn't something everyone can afford."

"Not a single one?"

"No."

Shen Yuan shrugged, a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Your attitude of only accepting big orders will only lead to failure in the Inner Academy, since the resources available to the students are limited."

"Unless... you're willing to refine a large quantity of low-grade pills."

Qin Yu leaned back in his chair and began to ponder.

"Are you in such a hurry to use Fire Energy?"

"Yes, I plan to go into seclusion for a while longer to try and improve my cultivation level."

"Then why are you still refining medicine? Why don't you just go and compete in the Strong List Tournament?"

Shen Yuan slapped his thigh, and his entire body visibly relaxed.

"Hiss... No matter how excited I am, I slap my own thigh."

"Look, aren't you already Six-Star Dou Ling? Making it into the top fifty shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Shen Yuan explained the pros and cons to Qin Yu in detail, and Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully after listening.

In his previous thinking, he completely ignored the rewards for the Strong List.

turn out to be...

Besides the top ten, the rest of the participants also receive different rewards.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

The Inner Academy's arena was more than twice the size of the Outer Academy's, and when Qin Yu arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting in the stands.

He found a seat towards the back and sat down, his gaze sweeping towards the ring.

The battle on the arena had just ended, and a young man dressed in black stood there with his arms crossed, chin slightly raised, his face full of arrogant arrogance.

Two-Star Dou Ling, his strength is not bad.

And his opponent...

Liu Qing?

Qin Yu's gaze fell on the figure who had just gotten up at the edge of the arena, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Liu Qing was in a very sorry state, kneeling on one knee and panting heavily.

The Mountain-Splitting Spear was stuck in the ground beside him, its shaft covered with fine cracks.

That's it?

The young man in black on the arena looked down at Liu Qing with a hint of disdain in his voice.

"Is this all the freshmen in your class are capable of?"

Liu Qing gritted his teeth and tried to stand up, but his legs gave way and he knelt down again.

"That's all there is to it."

The young man in black chuckled, turned his gaze to the stands, and suddenly raised his voice several decibels.

"By the way, I heard there was a tough guy in your year who single-handedly took down the Black Fiend Team during the Fire Energy Hunting Competition?"

"It's been over two months, and we haven't seen a single person yet!"

The young man in black tilted his head, pretending to be deep in thought, and then chuckled.

"Could it be that he's scared?"

The murmurs from the stands grew louder; some frowned, some watched the spectacle, and others joined in the jeering.

Liu Qing raised his head, about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I'm laughing because you're about to get beaten up."

The young man in black sensed something was wrong and followed Liu Qing's gaze.

A figure stood up from the stands and walked slowly onto the ring, stopping beside Liu Qing and looking at him.

Are you alright?

"Rest assured."

Liu Qing grinned, propped himself up with the Mountain-Splitting Spear, stood up, and stepped aside.

Qin Yu turned his head and looked at the young man in black opposite him.

"I am the freshman you were talking about."

The young man in black frowned and looked him up and down.

"You're Qin Yu?"

"Um."

The young man in black puffed out his chest, a hint of smugness in his voice.

"Remember, Wang Teng is teaching today..."

"Wang Teng?"

Qin Yu interrupted him, raising an eyebrow slightly.

He looked Wang Teng up and down, then clicked his tongue softly.

"You're just a Two-Star Dou Ling, can you really live up to this name?"

Wang Teng's face instantly darkened.

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, it just means that with your Two-Star Dou Ling cultivation, you're not worthy to fight me."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire arena fell silent.

The students in the stands stared wide-eyed, and even Liu Qing was taken aback.

I haven't seen him for two months. Could it be that Qin Yu has broken through again? Reached the Three-Star Dou Ling?

Wang Teng's face immediately turned bright red, and Qin Yu, seeing his furious expression, suddenly sighed.

"Fine, since you're so eager to fight..."

He flipped his right hand, and a pill appeared at his fingertip. Then, with a flick of his finger, the pill flew precisely into Wang Teng's open mouth.

As the mysterious little snack entered his mouth, Wang Teng's voice abruptly stopped.

His eyes widened in shock, and his face turned deathly pale instantly.

"What... what did you feed me?!"

He frantically tried to vomit, but the pill dissolved instantly in his mouth, making it impossible to spit it out.

"It's... it's poison?!"

Wang Teng's voice changed tone, and he took several steps back, his body trembling.

The stands erupted in chaos.

What did Qin Yu feed him?

"Could it really be poison?"

"No way... poisoning someone at the academy?!"

Looking at Wang Teng's terrified expression, Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he let out a sneer.

"With this kind of mentality, you still dare to make tough statements like others?"

Wang Teng's face turned pale and then red, and he was about to explode when he suddenly froze.

He sensed it.

After swallowing the pill, he felt no discomfort. Instead, a gentle medicinal power spread throughout his body, rapidly restoring the Dou Qi he had consumed during his battle with Liu Qing.

"This is... Qi-Gathering Pill?"

There was a hint of disbelief in Wang Teng's voice.

"I'll help you recover your Dou Qi, otherwise it'll be too unfair if we fight."

The trainees in the stands exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions quite fascinating.

Standing at the edge of the arena, Liu Qing couldn't help but twitch his lips as he witnessed this scene.

How confident must this guy be to do something like this?

"You'll regret this."

Wang Teng felt humiliated, and it was a blatant and undisguised humiliation.

I hope so.
