"Here we go again!"

"I want to go home and sleep after this long, rambling speech!"

The students immediately began to wail; they would rather be beaten than endure this torture!

Qin Qi, on the other hand, became happier and happier as he talked, and he was overjoyed to hear the notification in his mind.

------------

I feel this victory isn't too outrageous. First of all, assassins are best at assassination, and Principal Notting's weapon spirit is more supportive.

Also, the principal underestimated the protagonist. It's normal for the protagonist to win by surprise, right?

Chapter 76 Hashirama's Body, The Art of Creating Living Puppets!

After Qin Qi finished his speech, he returned to Dormitory Seven, saying he was going to pack his things, but actually he wanted to take the opportunity to check his reward.

But he seems to have underestimated his popularity.

"Brother Qin Qi, this is a treasured stone that I've kept for myself. Now that you're leaving, I'll give it to you."

"Qin Qi, this is my favorite carrot. This time... I'll share it with you."

"Qin Qi, you should go ahead now, but I will definitely catch up with you soon."

Everyone came to see Qin Qi off, and they spontaneously helped him pack his things.

Then they gave Qin Qi their most precious possessions. They weren't expensive gifts, but they represented their heartfelt sentiments.

"You guys... why are you getting so sentimental?"

"I've just graduated, I'm not dead. We can meet again when we have time."

"Besides, I'm not leaving right away; I'll be staying for another two days."

Looking at these guys, Qin Qi felt a mix of amusement and exasperation, but also a sense of being touched.

He always thought he was all alone in the world of Douluo Continent, an orphan.

But now it seems that he has unknowingly made many friends.

"Yes, Boss Qin Qi, you're right, but you should still accept these gifts."

"If you miss us while you're at another school, take a look at this."

The students in Dormitory 7 had eyes full of reluctance, and some of them couldn't help but cry.

"If Qin Qi is bullied by someone in another academy... I won't be able to take care of you."

"But you're also very capable. If anyone bullies you, just beat them up."

"If they come looking for someone, just run away. Don't fight them head-on."

"This is my Soul Master allowance. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation. Please take it."

Xiao Wu took out all the remaining Soul Master subsidies and gave them to Qin Qi; her eyes were red.

Even the arrogant, smug, and overbearing Xiao Wu was feeling sad because of the separation.

She had many followers in the academy, but Qin Qi was her only friend. Now that Qin Qi was leaving, she still felt lonely.

"Xiao Wu, thank you for your kindness, but I won't accept the money. You can keep it to buy clothes."

Qin Qi smiled. He hadn't expected Xiao Wu to do something like this, and he was deeply moved.

But he still didn't accept it and returned the money.

"You think it's not enough?"

Seeing Qin Qi's actions, Xiao Wu immediately pouted and spoke up.

"No, keep this money to buy some good food, eat more, exercise more, and then apply for graduation as soon as possible."

"That way we can meet again sooner."

Qin Qi said with a smile.

"How could that be? The standards you came up with for graduating early are way too difficult."

"No one can do it."

Xiao Wu stomped her foot. She did want to graduate early, but she just couldn't get past the academic subjects.

"Hey hey hey."

Qin Qi revealed a simple and honest smile. He wouldn't have done it if it weren't difficult; it was precisely because it was difficult that he did it.

"Qin Qi, I don't have anything good to give you. This is a little trinket I made when I was working at the blacksmith shop."

"Keep it as a souvenir."

Tang San looked at Qin Qi with a complicated expression. To say he disliked him wouldn't be accurate, as he had no conflict with Qin Qi.

To say they liked each other wouldn't be accurate, as their relationship wasn't particularly close, but now that they were about to part ways, Tang San was somewhat reluctant to leave.

Hmm, are you addicted to being tortured?

"No, no, it must be because I'm too soft-hearted."

Tang San quickly shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind, and then handed a throwing knife he had crafted to Qin Qi.

"Thank you, mistress. Your cooking is really good."

Qin Qi smiled as he took the throwing knife, and after a brief assessment, he immediately knew it was a fine one.

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

After bidding farewell to the people in the Seventh Dormitory, Qin Qi went outside alone and found an open space to rest for a while.

He won't leave the school for the time being, but he doesn't feel comfortable with the somber atmosphere in Dormitory 7, so he can only hide here.

He looked at the blue sky and began to mentally review his reward.

[Academy Series Quest, Second Stage Reward: Puppet Making Technique, Kagura's Mind's Eye.]

"I was just complaining before that there was only puppet manipulation technique but no puppet creation technique, and now here it is."

"And there's Kagura's Mind's Eye, which seems to be a wide-range perception ability that the Uzumaki clan possesses."

Qin Qi mentally said "Claim Reward," and a vast amount of knowledge about puppets instantly flooded into his mind.

After absorbing most of the puppet's knowledge, he began to claim the third-stage reward.

[Academy Mission, Stage 3 Reward: Multitasking, Chikamatsu Ten Guardian Creation and Control Method.]

"It seems like the academy's rewards are part of a set program."

"The first reward is chakra threads and how to use a puppet, and then the puppet-making method."

"Now we're multitasking, and working on more advanced methods of creating and using puppets."

Qin Qi remembered that Chikamatsu Ten Guards were Chiyo's puppets, with ten fingers controlling ten puppets simultaneously.

This can be considered the greatest masterpiece of an ordinary puppeteer!

[Academy Mission, Phase Four: Hundred Machine Manipulation, Puppet Genius Attribute]

"A hundred machines in operation!"

Qin Qi immediately thought of Scorpion's ultimate move, which allowed him to control hundreds of puppets in battle at the same time.

That surpasses the limits of a puppeteer; one person can create a forbidden technique for an entire army!

According to Naruto, Sasori once destroyed a country with this technique!

"And there's the 'Puppet Genius' entry; I know what it's for without even thinking about it."

What surprised Qin Qi even more was the entry on "Puppet Genius." With this entry, he could no longer simply use the puppet's abilities.

Instead, they can learn it, and even innovate upon it!

[Academy Mission: Stage 5: Hashirama's Sage Body.]

[Academy Mission: Stage Six: Living Puppet Creation Technique, Spirit Summoning Scroll Crafting Method.]

"Hashirama's body, Charton, I'm coming!"

Qin Qi recalled Hashirama Senju's extraordinary physique, whose powerful vitality had not disappeared for many years after Hashirama's death.

The enormous chakra within his body was jokingly referred to as "Chatonra," especially when he used both the human form and Sage Mode.

That hand clapping that supposedly grants whatever you want, forming hand seals—what hand seals? That's just for kids.

True masters don't use hand seals.

"Living puppet making technique..."

Qin Qi wasn't very familiar with this, but he chose to receive this part of the knowledge and, after reading it carefully, his eyes widened.

"To turn human corpses or the corpses of spirit beasts into puppets, and then the puppets can retain the abilities they had when they were alive!"

"I can't use this on people. If I get caught, I'll definitely be labeled an evil spirit master!"

Qin Qi told himself that he couldn't use it on people, but he could use it on soul beasts.

In this world, soul beasts have no human rights, and in terms of corpses, soul beasts are stronger than humans!

Chapter 77 Rewarding the Divine Spirit! A Brief Conversation with Dugu Bo!

After reviewing the tasks for the academy stage, Qin Qi began to check the rewards for his final achievement task.

Congratulations on achieving an unprecedented and unparalleled feat—the number one in Nottingham!
