Hearing that he would have seven days of rest, Qi Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He had forced himself to use the maximum power of his Lightning Flash and Flint Spark, and would then enter a week of weakness, during which he would be unable to use his Martial Soul. He could take advantage of this time to rest properly.
After returning, Qi Ling moved directly into the Shrek Academy's medical ward and lived like an emperor. Her daily life was attended to by beautiful women of various styles, enough to make any man envious.
Among them were not only the beauties from the Shrek Academy and the Qilin Team, but also Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and even Meng Yiran, all of whom came to visit Qi Ling. This place had become a large-scale academy exchange center.
But at the same time, Qi Ling also discovered a huge problem: this group of beauties were good at everything, but they just couldn't cook!
This is probably the common situation nowadays. These beauties are all born into privilege, and they naturally have all sorts of people to serve them. They don't need to cook for themselves at all.
But now that Qi Ling is bedridden, it's the perfect opportunity for them to show off their skills. So after tasting all the dishes everyone made, Qi Ling didn't notice anything else, but her resistance to poison had definitely increased several levels!
In the end, Qi Ling had no choice but to ask her younger brother, Tang San, for help. Putting everything else aside, Xiao San's cooking skills were definitely something these young ladies could learn for years.
In the past few days, Luna's Soul Power has actually increased by one level, reaching level 39. She is just one step away from reaching the Soul Ancestor and obtaining her Fourth Soul Ring.
Once Luna obtains her Fourth Soul Ring, her strength will undoubtedly undergo another qualitative change. Even now, she is already virtually unmatched among a group of Soul Ancestor, and at that time, it will be impossible to imagine her strength.
However, Qi Ling strictly forbade Luna's idea of aiming for the Soul Ancestor, because Luna's progress had been too fast, to the point that even with her Martial Soul aptitude, it was becoming somewhat unbearable.
More importantly, Luna is only 13 years old this year, and she has a much brighter future ahead of her, so there's no need to rush things.
Seeing Luna's somewhat unwilling expression, Qi Ling had no choice but to say to her, " Luna, I know you want to break through to the Soul Ancestor level, not for yourself, but for the team. You want to exert your strength as much as possible so that we can win, right?"
Luna nodded. To be more precise, she simply didn't want to disappoint Qi Ling and wanted to make Qi Ling happy, which was why she was so eager to win.
"But Luna, if this has a negative impact on you, that's absolutely unacceptable! Even if you win, I won't be happy," Qi Ling said.
"Besides, don't you believe in my abilities? I promise you, starting from the finals, I will play alongside you in every single match. So, Luna, leave everything to me, don't feel too much pressure."
Since Qi Ling had said so, Luna naturally had no choice but to agree.
However, while enjoying himself, some things happened that made Qi Ling pray that he would recover his strength as soon as possible.
This is because he now seems to have become a "weak man" who can't even kill a chicken, and there are always people who want to harm him.
On the very first night, just as Qi Ling was about to go to sleep, Dugu Yan sneaked in, intending to force himself on her and make it a fait accompli.
"What are you doing? Yanyan, don't be impulsive! Impulsiveness is the devil! Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart!" Looking at Dugu Yan pinned to the bed, Qi Ling couldn't help but utter this classic line.
Dugu Yan laughed brightly, "Hehehe, darling, you can't escape this time, can you? More and more women are eyeing you now, so of course I have to strike first! Be good, although I don't have much experience either, I'll be careful and won't hurt you."
"What? You're serious? Help! It's indecent assault!" Qi Ling shouted in terror.
"Hehe, go ahead and scream! This is a soundproof room. You can scream your lungs out and no one will come to save you!" Dugu Yan said excitedly, panting heavily, her hands itching to move.
Looking at the scene, Qi Ling felt something was off. Shouldn't their positions be reversed?
Left with no other choice, Qi Ling took advantage of Dugu Yan's inattention and used the Immortal-Binding Rope on her body to tie Dugu Yan up tightly.
This is no longer a competition. Even if Qi Ling can't use his Martial Soul, he has many other ways to protect himself.
"Oh, what is this? Darling, let me go!" Dugu Yan struggled, but with her strength, how could she possibly break free of the Immortal Immortal-Binding Rope?
Just as the two were arguing, the door to the medical room suddenly opened. Tuoliya peered inside and said, " Qi Ling, I think I heard some noise in there. Is something wrong...?"
Tuoliya fell silent, for the scene before her was simply too shocking.
"...I'm sorry, Mr. Qi Ling! I didn't see anything!" Tuoliya cried out in surprise, her face flushed, and ran away as fast as she could. This was all too exciting for her.
However, with Tuoliya's interruption, Dugu Yan's plan was naturally discovered, ultimately ending in failure. She became a key prisoner among the girls, and they were absolutely forbidden from seeing Qi Ling alone.
Lying in bed, Qi Ling felt both amused and exasperated; what kind of situation was this?
And so, in this atmosphere, seven days finally passed, and Qi Ling recovered completely.
On this very day, all the teams set off together, escorted by the Heaven Dou Empire, to the main city of the Spirit Hall, located at the border of the two great empires, to participate in the final competition.
As one of the two most revered main temples, the Pope's Palace is located in Spirit City. Undoubtedly, the Pope of the Spirit Hall will also attend this competition.
This newly built Pope's Palace is hailed as the most magnificent building on the entire continent, and it is also a sacred place in the hearts of all Spirit Hall Soul Master. For the Spirit Hall, it is similar to a capital city.
