Chapter 893 - The Freshmen Competition (2/2)

“Uh…”

The Little Witch was originally not afraid of anything but Qin Haodong knew what she cared about the most was. She quickly put her arms around Qin Haodong’s neck and said, “Little brother, don’t worry. I promise I won’t tell anyone.”

“Go back to sleep.”

Qin Haodong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this little girl was a foodie. Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to deal with her.

“Then I’m going back. This is our secret.”

The Little Witch giggled before giving him another kiss on the cheek. After that, she quietly returned to the bed.

Although she was gone, Qin Haodong still couldn’t fall asleep. He was afraid that the abnormal old lady would rush in as soon as he fell asleep.

After a night of anxiety, nothing happened. The next morning, Luo Dongqing walked in, full of smiles.

After entering the door, he put his arm around Qin Haodong’s shoulder and said excitedly, “Little Qin, you are really good. Your method is really useful. I’ve finally returned home.”

After that, he laughed, turned around, and walked out of the room.

Looking at his departing back, Qin Haodong was confused. Was that really okay? He just gave him that advice casually in the heat of the moment. Did he really succeed?

“This abnormal old lady really can’t be measured by common sense!”

In the following days, Qin Haodong became much more low-key. Apart from going to the Alchemist Association to buy medicinal materials, he almost never went out. He dedicated his time wholly to refine pills in the alchemy room.

For half a month, he had refined countless pills and accumulated about 80,000 top-level Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring.

However, after all this time, the pills of the Alchemist Association had reached a saturation point. After all, it took time to sell them.

Helpless, Su Wuxian could only tell him not to refine pills for the time being. The Alchemist Association had no money to purchase his pills.

Qin Haodong calculated that he was still short of 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones from his estimated goal of 100,000 top-level Spirit Stones. According to his calculation, the freshmen competition would be tomorrow. It seemed that he could only take this opportunity to make a fortune.

While eating dinner, the Little Witch said to him, “Little brother, tomorrow is the day of the freshmen competition. Let the three of us form an invincible team and win the championship.”

“Teaming up? What do you mean?”

Qin Haodong had been immersed in refining pills recently, so he was not very clear about the events going on at the Tortoise Academy. Nor did he know much about the freshmen competition.

The Little Witch said, “Here’s the thing. Today in class, there will be an announcement about the rules of this year’s freshmen competition. It’s different from before. This time, three people are needed to form a team and fight as a group.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “I originally wanted to give this freshmen competition a miss. However, when I heard that it’s a team of three, being with Big Brother Qin, I’m not afraid at all.”

Qin Haodong was speechless for a while. After all, this girl was also the Strong at the middle stage of the Voiding Realm. She could be regarded as one of the masters in the whole academy. Her strength was as strong as a tiger but she was as timid as a rabbit. She dared not do anything.

He said, “Why three in a team? Wasn’t it like this in the past?”

The Little Witch said, “You’ve asked the right person. Only I know about this. Yesterday, I heard from my grandma that there were traces of the Ghost King Sect in the Tortoise Kingdom. Several students from other academies were killed while performing solo tasks.

“In order to increase the strength and ensure the safety of the students, the various academies of the Tortoise Kingdom issued the order that if students want to leave their academies, they must form teams of three.

“This is the fundamental reason why our academy changed the rules of the competition. In order to avoid panic, it has not been announced to the public yet.”

Qin Haodong asked, “What kind of organization is the Ghost King Sect? Is it terrible?”

The Little Witch said, “I just heard about it from my grandpa and grandma. I don’t know the details. Judging from its name, it must not be a good organization.”

Zhao Xingyue said, “I know some information about the Ghost King Sect. It is an extremely evil sect. Everyone in the sect absorbs the essence of warriors to improve themselves.

“This sect has disappeared under the joint suppression of various sects a few years ago. I don’t know why it suddenly reappeared and came to the Tortoise Kingdom.”

Qin Haodong asked, “Is this Ghost King Sect very powerful?”

Zhao Xingyue said, “There are many disciples in the Ghost King Sect. It is said that the Ghost Lord has reached the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm. Last time, the Sect Masters of several major sects joined up and wanted to kill him but they were still unable to do it. He was only seriously injured. I didn’t expect that he would come back again.”

The Little Witch said in surprise, “Sister Xingyue, how do you know this?”

Zhao Xingyue’s expression froze and she murmured, “My father told me that if I meet people from the Ghost King Sect, I must run as far as possible.”

Qin Haodong was a little curious about the girl’s identity. Since she didn’t want to tell him, he wouldn’t ask for more information. After all, everyone had their own secrets. He had more secrets than the others.

The next morning, the freshmen competition of the Tortoise Academy officially began. 1000 new students came to the playground together to listen to the speech by Associate Director Luo Dongqing.

After half a month, Qin Haodong felt that Luo Dongqing looked better. It seemed that he lived a good life after returning to his wife’s bed.

After speaking, Luo Dongqing announced the rules of the competition. First of all, the freshmen who were under the stage of the Apotheosis Realm were not allowed to participate. Then, two-thirds of them were eliminated.

Among the rest of the students, they could form teams of three at will. The academy would help the students who could not form any teams.

After the meeting, Qin Haodong returned to the class and found that everyone was looking at him strangely, especially the male students. They kept their distance from him as if they were afraid that he would molest them.

He couldn’t help smiling bitterly. It seemed that his reputation of liking men had spread throughout the academy. This old lady was really harmful.

At this time, Yun Xiang came over and said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, do you really like men?”

Qin Haodong glared at him and whispered, “So what if it’s true? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll molest you?”

Yun Xiang smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. My life is all yours. As long as you like it, you can take it.”

Qin Haodong said, “Get lost! Stay away from me.”

As they were talking and laughing, Mei Lin came in from outside.
