Chapter 160 Goodness, I actually have a little fangirl now?
" Jun Yi, I didn't expect your strength to be even greater than I imagined. I've never seen a Soul Elder who can do what you've done. Were you holding back when you sparred with me during training, and not using your full strength?"
Qin Ming asked Jun Yi seriously because the physical qualities Jun Yi displayed on the stage, as well as the energy fluctuations that made him feel uneasy, were things Qin Ming had never seen before.
Jun Yi scratched his head and said with a smile, "Teacher, that Grandpa Sword once told me that I should keep some trump cards up my sleeve and not fully reveal my abilities to others, so I've been hiding a tiny bit of my trump cards."
Upon hearing the title " Grandpa Sword," Qin Ming was slightly taken aback, then nodded. It turned out that Sword Douluo had instructed Jun Yi to keep a low profile, which was why Jun Yi had restrained his abilities. However, Qin Ming did not press further, as it was Jun Yi's secret, and revealing it would only harm him.
"Yes, you must keep His Highness Sword Douluo's teachings in mind. Jun Yi, if you need any help in the future, just let me know."
Qin Ming smiled slightly and didn't continue. He was Jun Yi's teacher, and the stronger Jun Yi was, the more gratified he felt as his teacher.
"Okay, I understand, teacher." Jun Yi nodded with a grin.
" Little Brother Jun, you won a whole ten thousand Gold Soul Coin this time, aren't you going to treat me to a meal?" Dugu Yan suddenly said.
"Absolutely! Today's expenses will all be on me, Young Master Jun. Please help yourselves!" Jun Yi said generously to everyone.
" Teacher Qin, why don't you join us?" Jun Yi invited Qin Ming.
"I won't go this time. There's a team competition tomorrow, and I want to study the information on the opponents from each college first. You guys go ahead, but remember to come back early. We have training this afternoon," Qin Ming said.
"Teacher, still training? Jun Yi can already take on the Elephant Armor Academy single-handedly! With the vice-captain and Jun Yi in the team competition, we can't possibly lose!"
Osler spoke up, and the others echoed his sentiments. They all had great confidence in Jun Yi. The fighting power Jun Yi displayed not only shocked them but also filled them with a sense of pride—that the team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy could be so powerful.
"No, haven't you heard the saying, 'Pride comes before a fall'? You need to understand that the biggest difference between team competitions and individual competitions is the lack of team coordination. If you can't play your part in a team competition, then even if Jun Yi and Dugu Yan win the game based solely on their individual abilities, it's meaningless."
"Moreover, this situation is somewhat special. In this exchange competition, we represent not only the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but also the face of the royal family, and it even relates to the future allocation of these children's spots. We cannot lose this competition, and we must win it beautifully, understand?" Qin Ming said solemnly, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Qin Ming's words were firm and resolute. Hearing Qin Ming's words, everyone couldn't help but put away their joking expressions and nodded, saying, "We understand, Teacher Qin."
Qin Ming nodded in satisfaction, patted everyone on the shoulders, and said with a smile, "Let's go. There's still a long time until the afternoon. I'll allow you to come back half an hour late. This is a perk that Jun Yi is giving you."
"Then, teacher, we'll be leaving now. We'll come back for training this afternoon." Jun Yi cupped his hands in greeting to Qin Ming, and then the group of seven left the competition venue and hired a carriage to head towards Heaven Dou City.
Since Jun Yi was treating, Dugu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and led everyone to the entrance of an extremely luxurious-looking restaurant. She gently pushed open the door and went inside. The restaurant's lobby was decorated with extraordinary luxury and splendor. In this lobby, which ordinary people would hardly be able to set foot in, dozens of well-dressed diners were sitting in their seats enjoying delicious food.
Dugu Yan led the group to a corner table and chairs, where they sat down. The table and chairs happened to be located by the window, offering a commanding view of the street below.
After everyone was seated, a waitress dressed as a maid walked to the table, took out three menus and handed them to everyone: one to Jun Yi, one to Shi Mo, and one to Dugu Yan.
"Everyone, please order whatever you'd like! The food here is absolutely the best in Heaven Dou City and even the Heaven Dou Empire," Dugu Yan said with a smile.
"Hey, Sister Yanyan, you sound like you're treating us," Jun Yi complained from the side.
"You call me sister, and I call you brother. We're practically family. Is there any difference between you treating and me treating?" Dugu Yan asked, resting her chin on her hand and tilting her head to look at Jun Yi.
"It makes no difference. Sister Yanyan can order whatever she wants to eat, and everyone else can too. Let's all have a good meal so we can have physical training this afternoon."
After saying that, Jun Yi handed the menu in his hand to Osler and the others, letting them order. He had no dietary restrictions and could eat anything.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Osler then picked up the menu and discussed with Yu Feng beside him what dishes to order.
Just as everyone was ordering food, a pretty woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked slowly towards Jun Yi. She looked a little nervous and kept glancing at Jun Yi's face.
"Young lady, are you looking at me?" Jun Yi asked first.
"You, you're Jun Yi dominated the stage today?" the woman asked nervously.
"Um, although I performed very well on the field today, I don't think I killed anyone, did I?" Jun Yi joked.
"You really are Jun Yi!" Upon hearing Jun Yi's affirmative answer, the woman's expression became extremely excited. As she spoke, she stretched out her arms and rushed towards Jun Yi, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Well...
Jun Yi was taken aback, then smiled and shook his head, "Your daughter, do we know each other?" Jun Yi gently pushed away the girl who was hugging him.
"You don't know me, but I know you," the girl said excitedly. "Your performance on the field today was absolutely amazing! Your Elephant Armor and Divine Wind, your heroic figure is etched in my mind and I can't forget it. I really like you so much!"
"Uh... this..."
Seeing the woman's infatuated appearance, Jun Yi was momentarily at a loss. Had he encountered a little fangirl?
Dugu Yan and her group of six fell silent instantly, even the waiter remained quiet. Although none of them looked at Jun Yi, their ears were perked up; they all wanted to see how Jun Yi would react to his little fangirl...
