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

But this time, not all of them hit the bullseye; instead, they were scattered haphazardly across the target.

"The demonstration is over, I'm leaving."

Qin Qi took the gold soul coins he had won and turned to leave.

"Hmph, you said before that I couldn't handle it, but look at yourself, can you handle it?"

"You didn't hit the bullseye with a single throwing knife; they were all scattered. You were just lucky."

"Otherwise, they would definitely miss the target completely."

Meng Yiran still couldn't see when Qin Qi made his move, nor could she see how he did it.

But that didn't stop her from mocking Qin Qi, as if that would cover up her earlier embarrassment.

Qin Qi ignored Meng Yiran and left.

"This kid... he actually wants money, I really want to go up and give him a couple of whacks."

Long Gong watched Qin Qi walk away like that, and for some reason felt very unhappy.

His beautiful granddaughter said she'd give him whatever he wanted, and then he asked for money? What a spineless brat.

"This kid is indeed hateful, but old man, if you had to choose, what would you choose?"

The Snake Woman looked at the Dragon King and asked.

"I... I might choose to remain friends with Yiran and then slowly cultivate our relationship."

After thinking for a moment, Lord Long spoke.

"When you first met me, did you think I was pretty, so you deliberately made a bet with me to get closer to me?"

The Snake Woman looked at the Dragon King, her eyes narrowed, her face full of a playful and teasing expression.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Dragon Lord smiled awkwardly, but that wasn't actually why he made the bet with Snake Woman back then.

Back then, Snake Granny's temper was even worse than Meng Yiran's, and Dragon Lord was also young and impetuous.

Unable to stand the insult, he started fighting with the snake woman, but the fight quickly turned into a full-blown brawl.

The two came out of the room and walked to Meng Yiran's side.

"It's okay to lose. You can win back your losses by training hard."

Long Gong offered words of comfort.

“I didn’t care. He was just a little luckier than me. If he had been any unlucky, he would have missed the target too.”

As Meng Yiran spoke, she walked to the target to pull the throwing knife down, but at that moment, the Snake Granny suddenly noticed something.

“Yiran, that child might not be just lucky, he really is capable. Take a good look at the shadow on the ground.”

The Snake Woman pointed to the ground, and the sunlight cast shadows on the throwing knives, eventually forming a character.

The "Meng" in Meng Yiran's name!

"That guy!"

Looking at the words on the ground, Meng Yiran felt both shocked and ashamed.

I was so sarcastic just now, but looking back now, I realize I'm the one who got slapped in the face!

"You just wait, I'll win it back sooner or later!"

Meng Yiran retrieved the throwing knife and then had the target moved away, so she could practice against it from now on.

Imagine the target is that awful guy, and you absolutely have to throw the knife at his face!

Chapter 56: Why didn't you go home during your first holiday at Notting Academy?

Qin Qi returned to the academy safely, where the students were already packing up to go home.

"Boss Qin Qi, you're back."

Wang Sheng looked at Qin Qi who had returned and spoke.

After a year of study, Wang Sheng successfully became a first-ring Soul Master.

After this holiday, he will take the entrance exam for the intermediate soul master academy. If he passes, he will go to the intermediate soul master academy.

"Good luck on your exam, Wang Sheng!"

"Also, your martial spirit is actually quite good. It's the tiger, the king of beasts, and it's very strong in actual combat below level 30."

"But you should use your brain more when you're fighting, instead of just blindly charging forward."

Qin Qi patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder. The intermediate soul master academy exam included practical sparring, so he gave Wang Sheng a few pointers.

"Understood, boss."

Looking at the dormitory where he had lived for six years, Wang Sheng's eyes revealed his reluctance to leave.

"Boss Qin Qi, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Wang Sheng bowed very respectfully to Qin Qi, even though their initial meeting was not pleasant.

He not only got beaten up by Qin Qi, but he was also robbed. But they became friends after the fight.

After they got to know each other, they got along quite well, and Qin Qi often treated them to good food after he became rich.

After Qin Qi became the leader, he no longer formally bullied them.

"come on."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

Wang Sheng packed his things and left, and the other students in Dormitory 7 also packed their things and went home.

Only Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Qin Qi remained.

"With this year's graduates leaving, Dormitory 7 has become quite empty."

"I wonder when the next batch of work-study students will arrive."

Qin Qi sat on the bed and looked at Xiao Wu and Tang San before speaking.

There are work-study student slots every year, but not every year a person with the potential to become a Soul Master will appear in the village.

Before Qin Qi and his classmates enrolled, Dormitory 7 had not had any new students for several years.

This year, Wang Sheng and his classmates, the seniors, have graduated. I wonder when the next batch of new students will arrive.

"Isn't there a Soul Master Awakening event every year? I believe it won't be long before there are new ones."

"And Qin Qi, Xiao Wu, aren't you two packing your things?"

Tang San looked at Qin Qi and Xiao Wu. He had been through a lot of stress over the past year and had been working hard to cultivate.

My soul power has now reached level seventeen, which is quite good, but it's still far behind Qin Qi's.

“I’m an orphan with nowhere to go back to. What am I supposed to pack?”

Qin Qi looked at Tang San. Although Tang San lived like an orphan, this kid still had a father who was alive.

But Qin Qi has no relatives in this world.

"I... I'm not going home either. I'll stay at the academy with Qin Qi."

Xiao Wu sat on the bed, her eyes no longer lively and energetic as usual, but instead filled with a sense of loneliness.

She was homesick, but she couldn't go back.

"........."

"Okay then, see you when school starts."

Tang San looked at the two of them, remained silent for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, packed his things, said goodbye to Qin Qi and the others, and left.

After leaving the academy and walking home, Tang San was honestly very excited and looking forward to going home.

After everyone left, only Qin Qi and Xiao Wu remained in Dormitory Seven.

"Qin Qi, come shopping with me."

Xiao Wu looked at Qin Qi, patted her cheeks, tried to cheer herself up, and spoke.

"No, I still need to study."

Qin Qi spoke up.

"Why are you still studying when you're on holiday? Come on, come on, just keep me company."

"I'll treat you to something, okay?"

Xiao Wu didn't want to go shopping alone, so she grabbed Qin Qi's arm and tried to drag him away.

"Stop joking. Even though it's a holiday, I'm very busy."

Qin Qi looked at Xiao Wu and spoke.

"It's okay to put your studies on hold for a while."

Xiao Wu spoke up.

"I'm not studying, I have other things to do, I have to visit a lot of people."

Qin Qi looked at Xiao Wu. He didn't refuse her outright. Given Xiao Wu's current emotional state, a direct refusal might make her cry.

"Aren't you an orphan? What brings you here?"

Xiao Wu spoke without thinking, and then she felt like she had said something wrong.

"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Actually, I'm an orphan too."

Xiao Wu looked at Qin Qi and began to explain haphazardly, but the more she explained, the more confused she became.

"I don't care."

Qin Qi smiled. Although he was an orphan, he had parents, and he wouldn't be sad about it.

His parents are still alive and well in another world.

"Who says orphans have no one to visit them? On the contrary, orphans have many people they need to visit and thank."
