Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Pill Devouring, I am the True Path of the Tang Sect

Tang San gritted his teeth and glared at the master. That look of disdain for a useless object deeply stung his heart!

After the Grandmaster and Tang San were carried away, the match continued, with the last one standing on the stage.

Unsurprisingly, Qin Qi and Xiao Wu went on stage to spar, and both ended their fight with a single move.

Assassination only offers one chance. Seize the opportunity, and either the enemy or you will fall.

Qin Qi learned this lesson very well from Tang Jiaren and put it into practice perfectly!

[Ding! Congratulations on winning first place in the Soul Master Academy sparring competition! You will be rewarded with 10 achievement points and 500 academic credits.]

[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the Academy Series Quest! Unprecedented and unparalleled, the first person in Notting Academy's history to achieve this!]

Qin Qi listened to the prompts in his mind, but he didn't check them. Right now, he needed to give his speech first, and then receive the award.

Chapter 44 Xiao Wu: Can I recite a poem too? It's ignited, but I don't know what will ignite next!

"Ahem, let me just say a few words."

"Youth is fleeting and learning is difficult; every moment is precious. Before you know it, the spring grass by the pond is gone and the autumn leaves are already falling."

"Everyone should cherish their time and study hard!"

"Otherwise, when you get old, when you're thirty or fifty, it will be too late to regret it."

Qin Qi coughed a few more times, then delivered his prepared speech, and even recited a poem.

"Clap clap clap!"

Principal Notting immediately stood up and began to clap his hands. He felt that what Qin Qi said was absolutely right.

"This kid... gave a pretty good speech!"

"This poem is also good. Youth is fleeting and learning is hard to achieve. Every moment of time should be cherished. Isn't this a perfect description of us Soul Masters?"

"Did the child write this himself?"

The other three principals listened to Qin Qi's poem and pondered it repeatedly before finally asking questions.

"Believe me, this is really not a speech I wrote."

"This was really written by the child himself."

Principal Notting began.

"We believe that."

The three principals nodded in unison.

"Phew, looks like I still have some integrity after all."

Principal Notting breathed a sigh of relief as he watched everyone nod. Qin Qi had performed exceptionally well this time.

If he is misunderstood because of his own actions, then he has made a grave mistake.

"No, it's not because you're trustworthy, but because we all know your limited knowledge; you couldn't write such verses."

The previously furious principal spoke in an undisguisedly sarcastic tone.

"........."

Principal Notting's face immediately darkened. He considered himself a cultured man and had written many poems in the past.

But they were all called rubbish, doggerel, especially his famous work, "Counting Leaves".

One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, four pieces, five pieces, six or seven pieces—what beautiful lines of poetry! They insist it's utter nonsense.

What an insensitive person!

"Although the principal isn't a good person, this student is really good... How about I give him the student?"

"Let him go to our college, I will definitely give him a lot of support."

The college principals felt that Qin Qi was not only talented but also had a good character, and that he was destined for great things!

"Dream on..."

Principal Notting began.

....................................

The students at this time.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Dude, what does this poem mean?"

"I don't know, I usually get second to last place in my academic subjects."

"You didn't know that, yet you clapped so hard!"

"Didn't you see the principal and teachers clapping? We can't go wrong if we follow suit."

"Holy crap! You're right, bro, you're a genius! By the way, what's last place like, and where is it?"

"The last-ranked student had an upset stomach and didn't come. Before this, I was always last."

The students didn't understand Qin Qi's speech at all, but that didn't matter; they just clapped along with the others.

After all, they understand applause; their clapping means they understand.

After Qin Qi finished his speech and stepped down from the stage, it was Xiao Wu's turn to give her speech, as she was in second place.

Xiao Wu walked onto the stage, looked around at the people, and finally looked at Qin Qi.

"Should I recite poetry too?"

Xiao Wu asked with her eyes.

"Correct."

Qin Qi nodded.

"Help me! I don't know how!"

Xiao Wu usually sleeps during her academic classes; she hasn't even learned all the characters yet.

Qin Qi did not respond to Xiao Wu. He had already found a secluded spot to check his system information.

………………

[Ding! Congratulations on unlocking the Academy Series Quest! Unprecedented and unparalleled, the first person in Notting Academy's history to achieve this!]

"What is the system's academy series of tasks?"

Qin Qi asked in his mind.

Life is like an exam with no turning back, and this task is your first exam!

The academy series of tasks is divided into six stages, one stage per grade. Rewards are given upon completion of each stage based on your performance.

[Upon graduation, those who achieve the unprecedented and unparalleled feat of being the first at Notting Academy will receive a special reward!]

"Um……"

Qin Qi read the sentence and finally understood its meaning: simply put, he wanted to be number one in every grade.

To get the best reward, you must be number one in academic subjects, number one in martial arts subjects, and number one in everything else.

And it wasn't just once, but from first grade to sixth grade, it had to be the best!

"System, how do I achieve this unprecedented and unparalleled feat? If I maintain first place, will I achieve it?"

Qin Qi still had some doubts about this, so he asked in his mind.

Please do not cheat during the exam; please find the answers yourself.

"There's definitely something wrong here."

Upon hearing the system's words, Qin Qi immediately made a judgment: even if he maintained the top score in every grade, he would still be able to succeed.

Most likely, they will not be able to achieve something unprecedented and unparalleled, since there will certainly be those who excel in their studies who can achieve it in the future.

Qin Qi studied the system tasks for a while longer, and when it got dark, the other students from the academies all went home.

The principal called Qin Qi into his office alone.

"Qin Qi, you did a great job this time. I'm so proud of you."

"I……"

The principal is about to give a long speech.

"Principal, you're not planning to give me a few words of praise and then not give me the scholarship, are you?"

Qin Qi looked at the principal with suspicion, feeling that this shameless old man was really capable of such a thing.

"Ahem, how could that be! I'm the principal, how could I possibly withhold a student's scholarship!"

"Here are five hundred gold soul coins. Take them. This is your scholarship for winning this competition."

"And these five hundred are our academy's reward for outstanding students, totaling one thousand gold soul coins."

The principal took out a money bag, which, when opened, revealed glittering gold soul coins inside.

"Gurgle!"

Looking at the glittering gold soul coin, Qin Qi couldn't help but swallow hard, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

It's really not his fault for being lazy; ever since he came to Douluo Continent, he's never been short of money.

At first, they couldn't even afford food, but later they gradually accumulated wealth to pursue their cultivation.

The gold soul coin he received upon becoming a Soul Master was the largest sum of money he had ever seen!

Now, with a thousand gold soul coins... he felt like he was swimming in an ocean of wealth!

"Ahem, Principal, I'll accept the five hundred, but I feel unworthy of the five hundred as a reward from the academy."

Qin Qi took a deep breath. There's no such thing as a free lunch, let alone a free breakfast, dinner, or snacks.

The principal wouldn't give him a scholarship outside of competitions for no reason; there must be a price to pay!

"Of course it's not free; you have to be an outstanding student in our college to qualify."

"You can't switch to another college, and when you become successful, you have to come back to the college to give a speech."
