Chapter 38 of the First Person
If the plan succeeds, she will not only gain a powerful fighting force, but also undermine Nar's humanity and control the Spirit Tower.
Na'er rolled her eyes at Gu Yue, who had inexplicably become enraged. Still daydreaming!
After dinner, Qian Gu Chenran and Na'er strolled leisurely back to the hotel. On the way, Na'er looked curiously at the silent Qian Gu Chenran. Having known him for many years, Na'er naturally knew he was currently incredibly excited!
"Boss, are we really going to participate in the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition tomorrow? Isn't that too cruel to them?"
Na'er thought of Qian Gu Chen Ran entering the arena with four black spirit rings, unleashing a devastating attack on the Tianhai Alliance. She felt a deep sadness for the Tianhai Alliance.
Qian Gu Chen Ran shook his head: "We will only participate in tomorrow's opening ceremony! We will avenge the humiliation suffered by our Spirit Pagoda, Body Sect, and Xuanming Sect, bit by bit, tomorrow."
Looking at Qian Gu Chenran's smiling face, Na'er felt a chill run down her spine. The boss was really serious this time.
Seeing the ice cream shop next door, Na'er pulled Qian Gu Chenran over and said, "Let's talk about Shrek Academy tomorrow, and I'll go on stage with you. Let's go get some ice cream first."
Seeing Na'er's smiling face, Qian Gu Chenran became even more determined. Tang San, Tang Hao, and A Yin must die!
The next day
The enormous stadium, capable of holding 80,000 people, was packed. Qian Gu Chen Ran and Na Er, each with a glass of juice, watched curiously as the various students below, eager to compete, rubbed their hands together.
The two walked forward quietly, but the people around them unconsciously made way for them.
On the platform, Zhenhua and Muye smiled as they looked down at Qian Gu Chenran. The arrival of the Divine Craftsman and the Sect Master of the Body Sect made the Tianhai Alliance feel honored.
All the deans of the high-ranking academies in Tianhai City stood behind the two, awaiting their instructions. During the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, many of them would typically choose to stay in the Tianhai Alliance's number one VIP box.
Box No. 1 at Tianhai Stadium has always been reserved for the Tianhai City officials. During important events, the officials and bigwigs of Tianhai City and Tianhai Alliance would watch the games here.
But in front of Zhenhua and Muye, these people could only stand respectfully behind the two and wait for their orders. Moreover, the number one VIP room had been offered to several important figures, and they dared not go there at all.
Meanwhile, in VIP room number one, four figures quietly watched Qian Gu Chen Ran chatting and laughing with Na'er below!
Kong Mingyu curiously glanced at Qian Gu Qingfeng and compared him to Qian Gu Chenran: "It's a good thing this kid doesn't look like you, Qingfeng, otherwise he could be so handsome!"
Harosa nodded in agreement. Qian Gu Qingfeng rolled his eyes at the two of them, speechless.
Qian Gu Die Ting smiled as he looked at his grandson, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. He was looking forward to his grandson's next plans.
Using the connection between the Silver Dragon Kings, Gu Yue led the group to the spot where Qian Gu Chen Ran and Na Er were watching the commotion.
Before they could exchange more than a few words, a cry of "I'm so hungry!" interrupted their conversation.
"Does anyone have anything to eat? Please give me some!"
Seeing Xu Lizhi, dressed in a turquoise school uniform, searching for food, Tang Wulin immediately stepped forward and handed him a dried fish.
Tang Wulin knew better than anyone how unpleasant it was to go hungry, and his father, Tang Ziran, had taught him from a young age to help others within his capabilities.
Xu Lizhi took the dried fish and quickly thanked Tang Wulin, "Thank you, kind person. What's your name?"
"Tang Wulin..."
Watching the two begin their conversation, Qian Gu Chen Ran raised an eyebrow. Here it comes!
"Xu Lizhi, what are you doing! As one of us, you're embarrassingly looking for food everywhere! You're really something."
A thin boy wearing the same school uniform walked over with a disgruntled expression. He glared at Xu Lizhi with displeasure at the dried fish in his hand.
He then took out another Federal Coin and handed it to Tang Wulin: "I'm sorry you had to see this, this is compensation for you."
Tang Wulin wanted to refuse, but the boy opposite him had already forcefully handed it over.
Tang Wulin had no choice but to accept the money, but as soon as he did, the thin boy suddenly spoke up: "Since you've already taken the money, then you should keep your mouths shut! Don't say anything out of line."
Tang Wulin looked at the boy opposite him with a confused expression, not knowing what he meant.
The boy curled his lip in disdain: "I know your kind of thinking all too well. Don't think that just because you try to get closer to us, we'll speak well of you."
Our college doesn't just hire any Tom, Dick, or Harry!
Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie looked with displeasure at the skinny boy who was standing there, seemingly proud of nothing and talking nonsense to himself.
"What does he have to be proud of? Wu Lin clearly meant well!" Xie Xie said to Gu Yue with dissatisfaction!
Na'er sneered, "Shrek, huh! They've always been superior to others! A fourteen-year-old three-ring Soul Master, and he's already so arrogant. I can't even imagine what those elders of the Sea God Pavilion are like!"
Na'er had no intention of lowering her voice at all. The thin young man, Chen Heng, looked at Na'er angrily: "How dare you insult our Sea God Pavilion! How dare you insult our Shrek Academy!"
We are the pillars of the Federation, having made countless contributions, and yet you dare to utter such arrogant words. Your parents didn't…”
*Slap!* Before he could finish speaking, Qian Gu Chen Ran waved his hand lightly in front of him, and a slap landed directly on Chen Heng's face.
Qian Gu Chenran looked at Chen Heng, who had been slapped to the ground, with displeasure, and frowned: "Whose mad dog is this, daring to bite people randomly?"
Chapter 73 The Terrified Eldest Daughter of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School
Chen Heng stared at Qian Gu Chenran in disbelief. How dare he? He was a noble Shrek Academy student; how could he dare to slap him in the face?
Xu Lizhi was completely stunned. Qian Gu Chenran's slap had attracted everyone around. He couldn't understand how something that wasn't a big deal had escalated so much.
Gu Yue stared coldly at Chen Heng, who was getting up from the ground. She could scold Na'er, because they were one. But how dare this weak human insult the Silver Dragon King? He was courting death.
Seeing Chen Heng's bloodshot eyes, Qian Gu Chen Ran said nothing and turned to lead Na'er to the podium.
Now they have a legitimate reason to fight. Chen Heng, a useless Soul Master, dared to insult Na'er, which is a slap in the face to the Qian Gu family. Now it's a contest of whose backing is stronger.
Chen Heng watched Qian Gu Chenran's departing figure, his hands clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, yet he felt no pain.
Xu Lizhi had rushed off to find help when he noticed something was wrong. When he arrived at the scene with the other trainees, all he saw was Chen Heng, whose hands were bleeding profusely.
Yu Longqing frowned and looked at Chen Heng: "What's going on?" Chen Heng only came to his senses when he saw his boss arrive, and indignantly recounted what had just happened.
Yu Longqing was furious. Shrek Academy had stood on the continent for tens of thousands of years, and now a few brats dared to insult them in public. How dare they?
"Shrek's eternal glory cannot be desecrated; this matter is not over!"
A graceful young woman behind him gently reminded him, "The exhibition match is about to begin. The focus now is on the exhibition match! We can talk about everything else after the exhibition match."
Yu Longqing could only nod in agreement and led the Shrek Academy students back to their seats.
Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Tang Wulin, who were still eavesdropping nearby, all looked disgusted. What kind of people are these?! Is everyone at Shrek Academy like this?!
On the podium, Zhenhua saw Qian Gu Chenran walk onto the stage. He smiled and was about to speak when Qian Gu Chenran spoke first.
Hearing Qian Gu Chenran's words, Zhen Hua's smile gradually faded. He calmly looked at the group of high-ranking members of the Tianhai Alliance behind him.
These usually well-mannered officials were now all sweating profusely, their legs trembling. Some were even staggering and unable to stand steadily.
When gods fight, mortals suffer. The Blacksmith Association, the Body Sect, and Shrek Academy are all forces they can't afford to offend. If this matter isn't handled properly, their Tianhai Alliance might truly become a desolate, impoverished place.
"Oh! I forgot to mention, my disciple's surname is Qian Gu, the Qian Gu of the Spirit Pagoda!" As soon as Zhen Hua finished speaking, several thuds were heard.
Several officials collapsed to the ground, but their colleagues had no time to care about their lives. The thought that the sky had fallen flashed through the minds of all the officials.
Qian Gu Chenran, seeing the state of the Tianhai officials, knew it was time. He looked at the large group of people and said, "The students from Tianhai Academy who are participating in the exhibition match are all sick, right?"
Hearing Qian Gu Chen Ran's words, Long Huan Tian, the dean of Tianhai Academy, looked bewildered. He glanced at Zhen Hua, who seemed to be deep in thought, and Mu Ye, who was grinning mischievously, and seemed to understand what was going on.
After a long pause, he answered uncertainly, "Did all the students in our group who participated in the exhibition match get food poisoning?"
"Who did this? Explain why you got food poisoning!" Mu Ye looked at Long Huantian with dissatisfaction. No wonder he's so old and not even a Soul Saint. With that brain of his, what could he possibly understand?
The governor of Tianhai City, who had already realized what was going on, quickly replied, "The Star Luo Empire sent spies to poison the food of the young talents of our Tianhai Alliance, intending to harm them."
Qian Gu Chenran nodded in satisfaction, then took out a card from his soul tool and handed it to Long Huantian.
"Take this card; it's compensation from our Spirit Transfer Tower. It contains ten opportunities to ascend to the Spirit Platform, with a limit of seven people per attempt. You can choose whichever of the beginner or intermediate Spirit Platforms you want, as long as you're strong enough."
For the next three years, you will also be granted twelve Ascension Platform qualifications annually by Tianhai Academy, regardless of whether it's the beginner or intermediate level. We look forward to more cooperation in the future.
Long Huantian excitedly accepted the card handed to him by Qian Gu Chenran. He was incredibly lucky to have so many Spirit Ascension Platform qualifications without even participating in a single exhibition match.
Anyway, they always get beaten up in exhibition matches, so they might as well exchange them for these Spirit Ascension Platform qualifications! He can't go to the beginner Spirit Ascension Platform, but he can go to the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform.
It can train students, increase the age of one's own soul rings, and even befriend the Spirit Pagoda—a triple win!
Everyone else watched this scene with envy, wondering why they didn't have such luck!
Shen Yi frowned as he looked at the report from the Tianhai Alliance. Did the Tianhai Alliance really deserve to be deliberately poisoned and harmed by the Star Luo Continent? It seemed more like they were being used as scapegoats!
She looked at her senior brother Wu Changkong, whom she hadn't seen for many years, and sighed, "Senior brother, aren't you going back to the academy?"
Wu Changkong shook his head: "It's not the right time yet. Only after I've trained all these students to be Shrek Academy students will I be qualified to see my teacher. You should focus more on your opponents!"
"There are only two opponents! Senior brother, don't you trust the students of Shrek Academy?"
"Those two children are both members of the Spirit Pagoda, direct descendants."
Shen Yi's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and after bidding farewell to Wu Changkong, he hurriedly went to find the students.
Yu Longqing looked at his next opponent and revealed a cruel smile: "Pretty strong, huh! Able to replace the opponent in the exhibition match directly."
There's still one score I need to settle with him. No matter who his background is, Shrek's honor is not something he can tarnish.
As a descendant of Yu Xiaogang and the son of the current leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Longqing has always been proud to be a member of Shrek Academy. Shrek Academy is beyond question.
Chen Heng held the picture bearing the face of Qian Gu Chenran, but the flames quickly reduced it to ashes. His martial soul was the Flame Lion King, and he had long been itching for revenge.
Only the elegant young woman sitting beside Ye Xinglan was lost in thought. Ning Linglong, from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, had been taught by her father from a young age who was someone she could mess with and who she shouldn't.
She always felt that she had seen that boy somewhere before; his face seemed to resemble someone she knew.
Shen Yi pushed open the door and looked at the various people in the room with a puzzled expression. What was going on? Did they already know who their opponent was?
As soon as Xu Lizhi saw Shen Yi arrive, she hurriedly recounted what had just happened. After listening to the whole story, Shen Yi rubbed her temples in exasperation. How could she have caused such a mess in just a short while?
She sighed. Things had come to this; she couldn't afford to lose.
"Students, you will soon be facing core members of the Spirit Pagoda. Given the relationship between our two major forces, you must all give it your all in this competition."
Ning Linglong suddenly recalled the 100-day celebration she had attended years ago.
"Teacher, is that person named Qian Gu Chen Ran?"
"Huh? Ning Linglong, how did you know? Do you two know each other?"
Yu Longqing raised an eyebrow. If it were someone from the Spirit Pagoda, he wouldn't dare to kill them, since he still needed to buy soul spirits from them.
Only Ye Xinglan and Shen Yi, who were both girls, noticed that Ning Linglong's hands were shaking.
Chapter 74 Instant Kill
Ning Linglong's hands trembled uncontrollably. She stood up and looked at Shen Yi: "Teacher Shen, I need to make a phone call to my father!"
