Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"Uncle, I'm not talking about you. Can we just end the competition here for today? I'm a little tired. Shall we continue tomorrow?"

Huan Du Luolan had lost all interest in the competition; all she wanted to do was rush to the library and confront Qin Qi!

"Well, yes."

Poison Old Man nodded, deciding to let his niece rest for a while, otherwise he was really afraid she would be under too much pressure.

“Nephew, if the pressure is too much, take a break. There’s no need to push yourself so hard. Your father and uncle can understand.”

The old man offered a few words of comfort, and this time he didn't call her "princess." Calling her "princess" when there were other people around was a sign of respect, while calling her "imperial nephew" when no one was around was a sign of intimacy.

"It's alright, Uncle, I'm fine. Well, I am a little tired, and I want to go back and rest."

Huan Du Luolan made up an excuse and left in a hurry. Not long after she left, Huan Du Qingtian appeared.

He asked if anything went wrong during today's training, or if there was anything unusual.

No, not at all.

Without hesitation, Poison Old Man helped Huan Du Luo Lan cover up what had just happened. He felt that the reason his nephew was acting this way was because they had too high expectations of him.

Therefore, they felt immense pressure, which had nowhere to be released and accumulated until it finally exploded.

Now Huan Du Luolan should rest properly and not put any more pressure on the other party, so he didn't tell Huan Du Qingtian about this.

"Really? It's good that you're alright."

Huan Du Qingtian looked at the library again. He still felt there was something wrong with it, but he just needed to wait a little longer.

Once we get the Rejuvenation Bug back, we'll understand what's going on.

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

Huan Du Luolan first pretended to return to his room, then secretly climbed out the window and ran to the library.

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by a clean and tidy library, where Qin Qi is leaning against a bookshelf as if he is dozing off.

"You still have the nerve to doze off? We agreed that I would find you the Rejuvenation Worm, and you would help me solve the problem of the sonic poison."

"Now I've done what I was supposed to do, but what about what you promised me? You big liar, I'm never playing with you again!"

Huan Du Luolan stepped forward and reached out to grab Qin Qi's sleeve, but her fingers passed right through him the moment they touched him!

She instantly realized it might be fake and became even angrier: "You lied to me again! This time I'll fight you to the death!"

Huan Du Luolan began searching everywhere, but still couldn't find Qin Qi. At this moment, the Qin Qi that he thought was a phantom started moving.

"Ah~~~~ Oh, I was just taking a nap and thinking about some things in my dreams, did you have to make such a fuss?"

Qin Qi looked at Huan Du Luolan, whose brows were tightly furrowed and whose face was full of anger, and realized that the other party seemed to be really angry. He asked with some curiosity:

"What's wrong? You look like a cat whose tail has been stepped on. Who bothered you?"

"Of course it was you! We clearly agreed that I would help you and you would help me, but you lied to me! The method you told me about covering my ears to defend against the sonic poison is completely useless!"

Huan Du Luolan saw Qin Qi, whom she thought was an illusion, take action. She stepped forward and touched him, and he was real!

She became even angrier.

"It didn't work? How did you block it?"

"What else can it be? Of course it's like this."

Huan Du Luolan covered her ears as she spoke: "This is completely useless."

"Are you stupid? I told you to plug your ears, not cover them. If you covered your ears, the vibration wouldn't pass through, right?"

Qin Qi reached out and flicked Huan Du Luolan on the forehead. He had thought that Huan Du Luolan couldn't learn the sonic poison technique, but he didn't expect that she couldn't even understand what he was saying.

"Yes, but what's the difference?!"

Huan Du Luolan's momentum immediately weakened. She realized that it wasn't Qin Qi who had the problem, but rather that she had misunderstood something.

"How could you possibly block out the vibrations of sound, or even sonic poison, by simply covering your ears?"

"This move, known as the 'Divine Chess,' ultimately works by poisoning the auditory nerve through sound wave vibrations. It's quite simple to counter it."

"You only need to use your own demonic power to create layers of demonic power barriers around your ears. The vibrations won't be completely eliminated, but the toxins will!"

"With your current abilities, you can't break the sonic poison technique, but breaking a Divine Chess game is still very easy."

"You think you can break someone's move by just covering your ears? If it were that easy, how could sonic poison have gained such a reputation?"

Qin Qi saw Huan Du Luolan turn to run away, reached out and grabbed her by the neck, then gave her a severe scolding.

After hearing this, Huan Du Luolan immediately became obedient.

"I was wrong, I'm a big idiot, you're a real genius, I was wrong, I'm a big idiot, you..."

Huan Du Luolan accidentally bit her tongue and stopped talking, then took the opportunity to look at Qin Qi with a pitiful expression.

"Don't stop! You're not going to stop until you've said it a thousand times! And say it louder, with more emotion!"

"Or I'll pluck your ahoge!"

Qin Qi showed no mercy whatsoever. This is outrageous! How dare this little fool question him? He's really defying the heavens!

"I was wrong, I'm such an idiot, you're a real genius! Wait a minute, this is my house! Why am I kneeling here apologizing?!"

"I'm the princess! You're the thief! You should be kneeling down and apologizing to me!"

Huan Du Luolan immediately realized something was wrong. She was a princess of the Southern Kingdom, and this was her home.

She immediately prepared to stand up and confront Qin Qi head-on.

"Ok?"

Qin Qi frowned slightly as he looked at Huan Du Luo Lan, who had stopped. What was wrong with this girl? She looked so defiant. Did she want to get a beating?

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I'm such a fool, you're a true genius!"

Huan Du Luolan suddenly felt that kneeling was quite comfortable. Besides, he was in the wrong, and the princess couldn't be unreasonable.

She didn't know why, but she felt intimidated after seeing Qin Qi, as if he was born to suppress her.

"Actually... I'm not angry about that. I feel deceived. I've never had any friends since I was a child."

"Everyone around me is afraid of me, and those who want to get close to me all have ulterior motives. When I met you, I thought I had found a friend."

"Then when I thought you were lying to me, I subconsciously felt that you had ulterior motives for playing with me, and that our friendship was fake."

Huan Du Luolan began to try to appeal to emotions, his eyes slowly revealing sincerity and the pitiful state of a lonely child.

Chapter 130 King Yama: Am I seeing things? Why do I see a monster jumping around in front of me?

"That sounds sincere, but it won't work on me. Keep apologizing, and don't stop until you've said it a thousand times."

Qin Qi looked at Huan Du Luolan and could tell that the other party was speaking from the heart.

But he was unhappy, and if he was unhappy, he couldn't let Huan Du Luolan be happy. No matter the reason, this girl had to apologize and accept punishment today!

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was such an idiot... Can I come back to see you again?"

Huan Du Luolan looked at Qin Qi and cautiously asked.

She was afraid that her previous distrustful actions would cause Qin Qi to no longer want to play with her, and if that really happened, she would be very sad.

"What are you thinking? You still owe me the Rejuvenation Worm. If you don't come, what will happen to what you owe me?"

As Qin Qi spoke, he flicked Huan Du Luolan on the forehead again.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely bring it to you later."

Huan Du Luolan immediately laughed. It seems that they can play together in the future. Although Qin Qi is a bit strange, he seems to be not bad now.

After waiting a while, Huan Du Luolan finished saying it a thousand times.

"Just to be on the safe side, let me ask you one more time. You should have understood what I just said, right? You should know how to construct a demonic energy barrier, right?"

Qin Qi looked at Huan Du Luolan, still somewhat uneasy. Although he had explained things very clearly, he was still worried that Huan Du Luolan might not understand.

"Um, teacher, how do we construct a demonic energy barrier?"

Huan Du Luolan knelt on the ground, raised his hand, and asked a question like a primary school student.

"Sigh, fine, I'll just demonstrate it for you. If you still can't learn it after this, then you might as well give up on learning."

Qin Qi stepped forward, grabbed Huan Du Luolan's hand, and then pressed it to the other's ear, using his own power to influence the other's demonic power, and then gradually built a demonic power barrier at the ear.

"Have you learned it now?"

Qin Qi no longer expected Huan Du Luolan to understand the reasons behind the actions; he simply wanted her to follow the same route he had just taken.

"Ah."

Huan Du Luolan nodded, looking at Qin Qi who was so close to her. Her heart beat slightly faster, and her face flushed slightly.

This was the first time a boy had gotten so close to her, and even held her hand.

Huan Du Luolan felt that Qin Qi's hands were very big, about a size larger than hers, and also warm.

"Alright, as long as we learn how to construct a barrier free of demonic energy, we can counter the Divine Chess move."

"Try it yourself now."

Qin Qi removed his hand, dispelling the demonic energy barrier he had set up, and then let Huan Du Luo Lan try it out herself.

"Ah."

Huan Du Luolan nodded, then covered her ears with her hands and reconstructed the demonic energy shield in the same way Qin Qi had shown her.

Although she wasn't particularly gifted in academics and knowledge, she possessed an exceptionally strong talent for cultivation!

I learned how to build a demonic energy shield in just one go!

"Alright, that's about right. If you're interested, you can continue practicing and extend the demonic energy shield that's fixed to your ears to various parts of your body."

"If you can do that, then in the future, no matter who you are fighting, as long as they are using energy, their power will be reduced by at least 50% when they encounter your demonic energy shield."

"If you are skilled enough, you can even completely neutralize all of the opponent's force."

"If you are more skilled, you can even reflect the opponent's attack back. Overall, it is a pretty good technique, although it is very common."

The demonic energy shield that Qin Qi constructed was not a simple two-dimensional object; he referenced the material composition of fish scales, armor, and elastic materials before assembling it.

Therefore, it possesses strong defensive capabilities, force-absorbing abilities, and even the ability to rebound and absorb energy, among other things.

Qin Qi used to frequently activate his shield, but he no longer does; it's outdated for him and has been phased out.

"Ah."

Huan Du Luolan is behaving like a good child right now, nodding obediently no matter what Qin Qi says.

He thought to himself, "He's amazing! He knows so much!"

Huan Du Luolan began to re-evaluate Qin Qi, and she discovered that Qin Qi had many advantages, such as being very capable.

For example, he doesn't care about his identity at all, and he isn't afraid at all when he hears his father's name. He also knows a lot of other things, such as how to build secret bases.

Thinking about it this way, Qin Qi seems pretty amazing!

Huan Du Luolan remembered the words she had spoken to her mother.

"Mother, Father is not handsome and doesn't know how to make you happy, so why did you marry him?"

As a child, Huan Du Luolan spoke very frankly, and she asked her mother a question.

"Yes, because your father is the greatest warrior in the Southern Kingdom. When your mother was in danger, he ran into the extremely dangerous Wuhuang Mountain and rescued her."

"I've liked your father ever since then. Even though he has many flaws, I just love him."

Huan Du Luolan's mother replied in this way.

"When I grow up, I want to find the most, most, most powerful husband. I want to find the greatest warrior in the world to be my husband!"

This is what Huan Du Luolan said when he was a child.

Do you want to become the greatest warrior in the world?

Huan Du Luolan looked at Qin Qi and suddenly spoke.

"I don't want to, because I am the best in the world!"

Qin Qi spoke. "You must know that in your youth you harbored lofty ambitions, once declaring yourself the best in the world! Now, Qin Qi is still a youth, a fearless and arrogant young man who considers himself the greatest in the world!"

"When you become famous throughout the world, will you marry me?"
