"Qinchuan dominates the Black Heaven Sect's affiliated university and leads the Blackmoon Combat Academy into the finals!"
"A perfect, impeccable powerhouse of the new generation. His stage shouldn't be limited to the Newcomer Competition!"
"The biggest dark horse of the Six Great Academies' ranking competition so far, Blackmoon Combat Academy's Qinchuan!"
After Qinchuan defeated Chen Yu and led the Blackmoon Combat Academy into the finals with absolute dominance, the various media outlets began to report on Qinchuan. They praised Qinchuan's outstanding performance in the Newcomer Competition, but none of them mentioned the fact that Qin Haoxuan had tried to recruit Qinchuan but had been rejected and ridiculed.
Although these media outlets were praising Qinchuan and reporting news about Qinchuan, they were only trying to ride on the hype and pander to the audience's liking. If the Qin family had taken the initiative to speak up, then they would have immediately withdrawn all reports about Qinchuan. Compared to making money, their lives were more important.
Regarding Qinchuan's rejection of Qin Haoxuan's recruitment, regardless of whether it was the media or the ordinary audience, they only dared to talk about it in private. They absolutely did not dare to speak about it in public. No one was willing to provoke a colossus like the Qin family. At the same time, everyone was very curious about how the Qin family would react to this matter. The Blackmoon Combat Academy alone might not be able to protect Qinchuan.
While everyone was discussing Qinchuan's matter, the Blackmoon Combat Academy's members were happily gathered together to celebrate the freshman representative's advancement into the finals.
Chen Changxing raised a glass of champagne and walked in front of Qinchuan. His face no longer had the usual playful smile, but was instead filled with seriousness.
"Boss, I'll toast you with this glass. Thank you."
In response to Chen Changxing's gratitude, Qinchuan smiled and lightly patted Chen Changxing's shoulder. "Don't say these things. We're friends."
Qinchuan did not feel that Chen Changxing owed him anything. Whether it was the matter of Chen Changxing stalling for time during the school's selection, or the matter of Chen Changxing intentionally getting injured in the first round, it all proved that Chen Changxing truly treated him as his boss and was doing his best to help him. Since he was Chen Changxing's boss, he naturally could not allow Chen Changxing to be bullied by others. This was something he should do.
Chen Changxing grinned and said, "There's no need to say anything else. it's all in the champagne!"
After he finished speaking, Chen Changxing tilted his head and drank the Cup, without a single drop left.
"Qinchuan, congratulations."
At this time, Lü Zi also walked to Qinchuan's side. She smiled at Qinchuan and said, "I hope that you can maintain your current state in the finals. Continue to win and take first place for our Blackmoon Combat Academy."
Qinchuan chuckled and said to Lü Zi, "I'll definitely do my best."
In the finals, they would be facing the First Academy of Star Dragon. Among the freshmen representatives of the First Academy, there were two familiar faces, Yu Cai 'er and Wang Wenxue.
Qinchuan did not have much to say to Yu Cai 'er. Their relationship was relatively simple and pure. As for Wang Wenxue, Qinchuan's feelings were somewhat complicated. They were childhood sweethearts, and although they had parted ways later on, the feelings they had for each other for more than ten years were not something that could be cut off so easily. To be honest, he did not want to meet Wang Wenxue in the arena. However, there were some things that could not be done as he wished.
"Today, you were right to refuse Qin Haoxuan, but your words were a little too sharp."
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan helplessly and said, "You embarrassed Qin Haoxuan in front of so many people. Qin Haoxuan might not let you go so easily."
"If he doesn't let me go, then I might not let him go either."
Qin Chuan felt somewhat helpless about this matter. If he didn't kill Qin Haoxuan, then he would die from the backlash of the oath when the time he and Cang Hao had agreed to meet. Therefore, there would definitely be a battle between him and Qin Haoxuan. Sooner or later, he would offend the Qin Clan. Since the outcome was already determined, there was no need for him to be overly cautious.
Seeing Qinchuan's strong performance, Lü Zi did not say anything else. She was not afraid of the Qin Family, but she was worried that Qinchuan would suffer losses.
After all, the Qin Family was one of the four great families, and Star Dragon City was the headquarters of the Qin Family. If the Qin Family wanted to make a move on Qinchuan, then Qinchuan would be in a very difficult situation.
Seeing the worried expression on Lü Zi's face, Qinchuan smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I will take care of this matter."
After chatting with Lü Zi for a while, Qinchuan walked to the balcony by himself. Looking at the brightly lit Star Dragon City, Qinchuan could not help but think of what Long Xiao had told him before. In Star Dragon City, it was impossible for a commoner to stand out. They had to rely on an aristocratic family or sect to have a chance of success. If they were unwilling, then they would be expelled from Star Dragon City.
At that time, Long Xiao had reminded him not to perform too well in the Six Great Academies' ranking competition, or else he would be targeted. At that time, he did not pay much attention to Long Xiao's words. Now, it seemed that Long Xiao was right. Not only was he being targeted, but he was also being targeted by Qin Haoxuan.
He did not know whether this matter was good or bad for him. In short, as long as the Qin Family did not make a move on him, then he would act according to the original plan.
Qinchuan probably did not expect that the reason why Qin Haoxuan targeted him was not because he performed well and wanted to recruit him, but because Qin Jue paid too much attention to him. If Qinchuan knew the truth, then he would probably break his head.
Just as Qinchuan was thinking about these things, Bai Yuu's figure suddenly appeared on the balcony and stood beside Qinchuan. She looked at Qinchuan with a subtle expression and said, "I now believe what you said to me before."
Qinchuan was stunned when he heard this. He asked with some doubt, "I said so many things to you. Which one are you referring to?"
"That night, in the restaurant, you told me that you were also a monster." Bai Yuu pursed her lips. "I thought you were just coaxing me. I didn't expect it to be true."
Qinchuan looked at Bai Yuu in astonishment. "You saw it?"
"You know that I am very sensitive to blood. Although there was a big fire at that time, I sensed the changes in your body through the changes in your bloodline." Bai Yuu lowered her head and said, "This is your secret, right? You … will you kill me?"
Qinchuan laughed when he heard Bai Yuu's words. Then, he reached out and gently rubbed Bai Yuu's head. He said, "This is no longer my secret, but a secret between the two of us. So, you must keep this secret for me."
"I will." Bai Yuu raised her eyes and looked at Qinchuan. Her gaze was unprecedentedly firm.
