"Sorry to keep you waiting, everything's alright now," Qi Ling said to Zhu Zhuqing. "Alright, let's go now."
"Hey, you stop right there!" Jin He shouted at this moment, "I've got my eye on this chick, you can go cool off somewhere else!"
The other person was just a teenager, how could he possibly pose a threat to him! So Jin He immediately reassured himself that he must be overthinking things and imagining things.
Since that's the case, then I have no reason to let them leave! On the contrary, I'll make this kid look bad, so that the little beauty will know that I'm the only one who's right for her.
Qi Ling turned to look at Jin He helplessly. She had already given him a chance, but he didn't cherish it and insisted on courting death. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't save him.
"Your name is Jin He? Are you Gold Soul Fighting in the Great Soul Arena?" Qi Ling asked casually.
"Hmph, scared now, kid! Good that you're scared. Now get out of my way, or I might make you bedridden for months!" Jin He said arrogantly.
"Pfft—" Qi Ling couldn't help but laugh, "Make me lie in bed for a few months? If you can really do that, I'd really be looking forward to it."
"You brat, how dare you underestimate me? Just wait and see..." Jin He was about to make a move when Qi Ling interrupted him once again.
"You're a contestant from the Great Soul Arena, right? Then you should know the rules: contestants aren't allowed to fight each other," Qi Ling said. "If you really want to fight, wait for me at the Great Soul Arena in a week."
Jin He was taken aback. Since Qi Ling had brought this up, he really couldn't ignore it. After all, he made his living in the Great Soul Arena. If he were reported and lost his job, things wouldn't be easy.
"Fine, then I'll be waiting for you at the Great Soul Arena in a week!" Jin He said fiercely. "I hope you'll act like a man and not break your promise!"
"Don't worry, I'll be there on time." Qi Ling said, and left with Zhu Zhuqing. Jin He gritted his teeth, but he could only comfort himself that once he dealt with Qi Ling, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely not be able to escape his grasp.
Walking along the road, Qi Ling said to Zhu Zhuqing, " Zhu Zhuqing, I know what you're thinking, but Jin He is different from Zhao Lei; their levels are too different."
"You're no match for him now, but I can't let him be arrogant for too long, so I have to make my move."
Zhu Zhuqing remained silent after hearing this. After a long while, she asked Qi Ling, "How long will it take me to be able to beat him?"
"It's difficult. This Jin He is no weakling. Even at the Soul Elder level, he is a rare expert. Otherwise, there would be more than two Soul Elder Gold Soul Fighting in the Great Soul Arena," Qi Ling said.
"But Qi Ling, I want to defeat him!" Zhu Zhuqing said, "So... you should understand what I mean, right?"
Qi Ling glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and noticed that the latter was looking at him with an expectant gaze, a look he had felt from Zhu Zhuqing many times before.
"Sigh, really, fine, fine, I just can't do anything with you." Qi Ling said helplessly, "Same rule as always, defeat him, but don't cripple him, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then asked, "One month... can I defeat him?"
"A month?" Qi Ling pondered, but suddenly remembered something.
"If you can break through to level 30 and become Soul Elder within a month, perhaps I really do have a way to help you defeat Jin He!"
"Really?" Zhu Zhuqing said in disbelief. Of course, she knew that Jin He was not easy to deal with, so she tentatively asked Qi Ling. She didn't expect that Qi Ling would actually have a solution.
It should be noted that Jin He's ability to dominate the Soul Elder realm indicates that his Soul Power is at least level thirty-eight or thirty-nine. Even if I were to break through to the Soul Elder realm, I would only be a level thirty-one Soul Elder.
Both are Soul Elder, but a seven-level difference in Soul Power is enough to drive many to despair, let alone when the opponent is a master of this art! I wonder what miraculous methods Qi Ling will employ this time to secure victory?
In response to Zhu Zhuqing's question, Qi Ling simply kept her in suspense, saying, "I have a clever plan. Zhu Zhuqing, all you need to do is break through to level 30, and you'll naturally find out the rest later."
The two walked towards the academy while talking, but before long they saw Tang San and his group approaching menacingly, seemingly looking for trouble.
"What's wrong, Xiao San? Where are you going? Are you going to fight someone?" Qi Ling called out to them.
"Big brother? What are you doing here? And Zhu Zhuqing too." Tang San was taken aback when he saw Qi Ling.
"It's nothing, just helping Zhu Zhuqing out a little! But what are you all going to do?"
Suddenly, Ma Hongjun rushed over and pleaded pitifully with Qi Ling, " Boss Qi, you have to stand up for me!"
Qi Ling turned her head and was immediately startled to see Ma Hongjun. He was already quite fat, but now his head was swollen like a pig's head.
"What's going on? Who dares to bully our people?" Qi Ling asked.
" Boss Qi, you don't know, I got bullied!" Ma Hongjun then recounted how he went to solicit prostitutes but failed and ended up being beaten up by a guy named Bu Le.
"Is this for real? Come on, I'll avenge you!" Qi Ling said immediately. No matter what, she couldn't let someone bully her own people.
"I'm not going. You can go by yourselves if you want," Zhu Zhuqing said, and returned to the academy alone. After all, what Ma Hongjun did was what she hated most.
Moreover, with Qi Ling here, it's enough to avenge Ma Hongjun, so there's no point in keeping Zhu Zhuqing around.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu jumped out and said, " Brother Qi, you don't need to do anything. I've already promised Fatty I'd avenge him! Just watch what I'm capable of!"
" Xiao Wu, are you sure you can handle this? That Bu Le is a Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, and a Control System Soul Master at that, whose attributes are exactly what counter you," Tang San said worriedly from the side.
"Don't worry, Brother San. If he dares to hit my brother, I'll beat him so badly he can't take care of himself!" Xiao Wu said confidently.
" Xiao Wu, you're so kind! How about I repay you by marrying you?" Ma Hongjun was deeply moved by Xiao Wu's loyalty, and his frustration dissipated somewhat. His tone also became as lewd as ever.
"Smack!" A large hand slammed down on Ma Hongjun's head, Qi Ling's voice came from behind Ma Hongjun: "Fatty, who are you going to repay with your body?"
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Boss Qi, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Qi Ling exerted a little force, causing Ma Hongjun to cry out for help in pain. The others laughed and said he deserved it, but Xiao Wu blushed and felt incredibly sweet inside.
Under the cover of night, the group hurried to...
At the place Ma Hongjun mentioned, Bu Le was soon spotted. In his forties, he could only be described as listless and slovenly, wearing ripped shorts and flip-flops, with a disgusting smile on his face. He looked nothing like a Soul Ancestor.
"Is it him?" After receiving confirmation from Ma Hongjun, Xiao Wu confidently walked out. "Alright, just watch and see how my mighty and domineering Sister Xiao Wu avenges Fatty!"
