I’ve already become a titled Douluo, and only now the system arrives?

Chapter 73: Qin Xiao's Courage, Facing the Two Elders of Haotian Sect

"Do you really want to know?" Qin Xiao asked Dugu Bo, who was eagerly waiting.

Dugu Bo nodded vigorously.

"I advise you not to ask too many questions; knowing too much may not be good for you," Qin Xiao said, smiling casually. "But I've been here for a while, and Tang Hao and his son haven't shown up."

"So, does that mean these things are true?" Dugu Bo felt that this was the truth of the matter. However, Qin Xiao's relaxed demeanor didn't seem like someone facing formidable enemies.

"I think when Tang San, Tang Hao's son, didn't get what he wanted, he must have shown quite a spectacular expression," Qin Xiao asked at this moment.

"It was indeed quite spectacular, like he had just eaten a dead fly – very unsightly," Dugu Bo recalled Tang Hao's expression from earlier.

"Hahaha, that's enough," Qin Xiao burst into laughter, his voice filled with satisfaction. Undoubtedly, Tang Hao and his son's defeat was what Qin Xiao wanted to see the most.

"I don't know what they were thinking when they provoked this guy," Dugu Bo mumbled to himself, realizing that he had also been played by Qin Xiao. He suddenly found some empathy for Tang Hao and his group. They were all people who had fallen from grace.

"But compared to them, I'm much better off. After all, I can consider myself half-friends with Qin Xiao," Dugu Bo thought and realized that his situation was much better than that of Tang Hao and his group.

"Zhu Qing, let's go."

At this moment, Qin Xiao said to Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

The young girl was momentarily stunned but then nodded silently.

"So soon? Are you leaving?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked.

Qin Xiao playfully asked, "What? Do you want to feed me, too?"

Dugu Bo waved his hand, then said in a grumpy tone, "You'd better leave quickly. Seeing you irritates me."

Qin Xiao smiled and walked away from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.

"May I ask who you are looking for?" In front of the Blue Tyrant Academy, the gatekeeper stopped two hooded figures.

"Get lost! You have no say here!" One of them shouted angrily, and a powerful aura burst forth, sending the gatekeeper, who was not even a soul master, flying.

"Hmph, it seems like we've been silent for too long. Now anyone dares to provoke us!" The one who attacked sneered disdainfully.

"Enough, Seventh Brother, he's just an ordinary person. There's no point in confronting him," said the other person, with an elderly voice.

Then he turned to the gatekeeper and said, "You go into the academy now and tell your dean that someone is looking for him."

"Yes, please wait a moment, honorable guests. We will inform our dean," the gatekeeper said as he scrambled away.

"Third Brother, we can just walk in. No one can stop us," the Seventh Brother said.

"Seventh Brother, that mysterious Title Douluo is here, and we should show some respect," the Third Brother replied.

Afterward, the two of them fell silent.

Undoubtedly, these two individuals were the Third and Seventh Elders of the Haotian Sect.

Not long after, Liu Erlong, Flender, Zhao Wujin, and others arrived at the academy gate.

"Who's causing trouble in front of our academy?" Liu Erlong was dressed in a well-fitted outfit today, rolling up her sleeves, and appeared ready for a fight.

As they approached, they saw two hooded figures.

"Hmph!"

"This little girl is quite young, yet she dares to be so arrogant in front of me?"

The Seventh Elder snorted, and his formidable soul power pressure burst forth.

In the next moment, everyone's expressions changed. It felt like an invisible mountain had descended upon them.

"Such pressure!"

"It's a Title Douluo-level expert!"

Everyone present was no weakling; they were all at least Soul Saints. Naturally, they could sense the immense power of the Seventh Elder.

"We didn't know Your Excellency had arrived. Please forgive us!" Flender's voice sounded somewhat strained.

"Alright, Seventh Brother, remember our purpose for coming here," the voice of the Third Elder rang out, stopping the Seventh Elder from continuing the pressure.

Sigh.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as the pressure suddenly diminished, and they felt like they could breathe freely again.

"May I ask if there are members of Shrek Academy among you?"

The Seventh Elder's gaze swept over the crowd, and he asked calmly, "Do you know where the Title Douluo-level expert from Shrek Academy is?"

"Your Excellency, I am the dean of Shrek Academy," Flender stepped forward and introduced himself.

"Then I'll ask you, is the Title Douluo-level expert from your academy here?" the Seventh Elder asked in a deep voice.

Finding His Majesty Thunder Emperor?

Flender was momentarily stunned. They might be strong individuals from Haotian Sect. In an instant, Liu Erlong had guessed the identities of the two individuals. Following that, the purpose of their visit became evident—they were here for Titan!

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Even if he has the strength of a Title Douluo, he's too impulsive. Just because he's not at the academy doesn't mean he can escape this predicament."

When troublemakers come, the righteous are absent!

Zhai Wuji and the others also had changed expressions, as they realized something.

"I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer?" The Seventh Elder's cold voice rang out once more.

"Your Excellency, the person you're asking about is not here," Flender replied, somewhat hesitantly.

"Not here? Where did he go?"

"We don't know, Your Excellency. With his status, he certainly wouldn't inform us about his whereabouts."

Indeed, that was the case. The Third and Seventh Elders nodded almost simultaneously.

"Let me ask you again, is there someone named Qin Xiao in Shrek Academy? Where is he? Let them come out and meet me!" the Seventh Elder asked once more.

Qin Xiao?

Isn't he the same as His Majesty Thunder Emperor? If His Majesty Thunder Emperor is present, can Qin Xiao be absent? Could it be that if His Majesty Thunder Emperor is not here, Qin Xiao will be?

After hearing his words, everyone found it rather strange.

What a peculiar question.

"In Your Excellency's absence, Qin Xiao is also not here," Flender replied once more.

His answer was quite clever, directly addressing the person asked without any unnecessary words.

"What? He's not here either?" The Seventh Elder furrowed his brow upon hearing this, and he subconsciously looked at the Third Elder, privately communicating, "Third Brother, can we be sure about this? Qin Xiao and that Title Douluo obviously ran away because they're afraid our Haotian Sect would hold them responsible."

"Hmph, it seems he's just a coward without any guts," the Third Elder lightly nodded and replied via their secret communication. "It looks like we'll need to go through some trouble to find them."

However, just in the next moment, the two Haotian Sect Elders noticed that everyone's expressions were strangely directed behind them.

What's going on?

Curious about this, they both turned to look.

In their line of sight, two figures, a man and a woman, were slowly approaching.

The young man was handsome and dashing, while the young woman was cool and beautiful.

It was Qin Xiao and Zhu Zhuqing returning.

"Are you here to find Qin Xiao?" Qin Xiao grinned. "That would be me."

"Hahaha, good lad, I didn't expect you to willingly walk into the lion's den," the Seventh Elder exclaimed joyfully.

"Seventh Brother, this isn't the place to talk," the Third Elder rebuked his brother and turned to Liu Erlong, asking, "Could you provide us with a place to speak?"

Liu Erlong, in a very rare display, bit her lip and nodded, "Your Excellency, please follow me."

Her voice was quite loud, and it was heard not only by those present but also by Qin Xiao in the distance. In reality, her intention was to remind Qin Xiao that these two individuals were Title Douluo-level experts.

She believed that with Qin Xiao's intelligence, he would surely understand the hidden meaning in her words.

However, what made her angry was that Qin Xiao also said to her, "Director Liu, please arrange a place for us."

Ah, this guy really is stubborn!

Liu Erlong was left utterly speechless.

"You can wait here."

Afterward, Qin Xiao spoke, seeing the rest of the crowd itching for action. If they were to start a fight, these people would be more of a hindrance than help.

A moment later, near a small artificial lake within Shrek Academy.

The Seventh Elder couldn't hold back any longer and coldly asked, "Kid, do you know why we're looking for you?"

Qin Xiao was taken aback, "Why are you looking for me? Should I know?"

At this moment, the Third Elder also spoke, "I'll ask you this: is the destruction of the Strength Clan related to you?"

Qin Xiao nonchalantly nodded, "Yes, it was me who wiped them out."

"Indeed, it was you," the Seventh Elder responded as if he had already expected this.

However, upon closer consideration, he felt something was amiss!

"Wait a minute, kid, did you say it was you who did it, or was it the powerful individual backing you?"

The Seventh Elder's voice was much louder this time.

"Do you have problems with your ears?" Qin Xiao frowned. "At your age, becoming a Title Douluo, you shouldn't have such poor hearing, right?"

"Third Brother, he... he..." The Seventh Elder felt insulted.

"Old Seven, calm down a bit," the Third Elder waved his hand, signaling the Seventh Elder to compose himself.

Then he looked at Qin Xiao with a serious expression and asked, "How can you prove it?"

"Why would I need to prove anything?" Qin Xiao shrugged, looking as if he didn't care if they believed him or not.

"Third Brother, I can't stand this kid's attitude anymore. Since this matter is related to him, I'll deal with him first!" The Seventh Elder angrily shouted and a powerful aura surged toward Qin Xiao like a torrent, enough to make even a Soul King kneel.

He believed that he didn't need to personally take action; the pressure alone would crush Qin Xiao!

However...

Qin Xiao's response was even simpler; he just casually waved his hand.

This terrifying pressure instantly crumbled!

Boom!

Witnessing this scene, the Third and Seventh Elders were struck as if by lightning.

"Third Brother, this... he really might be a Title Douluo-level expert!"

"Only a Title Douluo-level expert could dispel my pressure so casually!"

A moment later, the Seventh Elder transmitted his disbelief to the Third Elder.

"This person shouldn't be underestimated!" he concluded.

"Stop talking for now. Let me clarify the situation first," the Third Elder replied, his tone heavy.

In his heart, he had already classified Qin Xiao as a dangerous individual.

"I wonder why you took action against the Strength Clan?" the Third Elder inquired.

"It's simple, because they offended me. I have plenty of flaws, but I have one virtue: I hold grudges. If they won't change their ways, I'll follow my principles." Qin Xiao wore a chilling smile. "Of course, I gave them a chance, but if they refused to mend their ways, then I had to act according to my principles."

Hiss.

Such a terrifying person!

The Third and Seventh Elders could feel the coldness in Qin Xiao's words and couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

But the prestige of Haotian Sect couldn't be trampled on!

After hearing Qin Xiao's words, the Seventh Elder couldn't restrain himself any longer and asked with a stern voice, "Since you knew that the Strength Clan was once an affiliated sect of our Haotian Sect, wasn't wiping them out going too far?"

"Haotian Sect?" Qin Xiao suddenly laughed. "I'm sorry, but I've never regarded Haotian Sect as anything special."

What!?

He has never regarded Haotian Sect as anything special?

The Seventh Elder was stunned, never in his wildest dreams did he expect Qin Xiao to utter such arrogant words.

Think about it, how many people in the world dared not to regard Haotian Sect with respect?

"Hahaha!"

Beside them, the Third Elder suddenly burst into laughter. "Young man, you're really something. Even the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall wouldn't dare to be so arrogant."

"The Pope of the Martial Soul Hall?" Qin Xiao shrugged. "It seems like your Haotian Sect has been living in your own little world these years. I'll give you four words: 'Overestimating your importance!'"

"Arrogant!" The Seventh Elder angrily shouted, "Even Haotian Sect is not to be underestimated! You're looking for death!"

With that, he disappeared from his original position, and a fist the size of a sandbag struck toward Qin Xiao's face.

This punch was powerful enough to break gold and shatter rocks. If it hit a person, they would either die or suffer severe injuries.

However...

What he saw next was Qin Xiao shaking his head.

Then, he heard a voice in his ear, "Too weak, like a tortoise crawling."

Qin Xiao!

He turned his head slightly, and instantly his hair stood on end. He saw that Qin Xiao had appeared above him at some point and was now stomping down with tremendous force.

Boom!

With a deafening sound, the earth trembled.

After a cloud of dust had dispersed, Qin Xiao's figure appeared before the Third Elder.

"Old Seven..."

The Third Elder's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't help shouting.

He saw that under Qin Xiao's foot, a humanoid pit had formed, and the Seventh Elder was trapped in it, pinned beneath Qin Xiao's foot.

Defeated with a single blow?

What kind of strength was this?

It was likely that not even a Level 95 Title Douluo could easily achieve this!

The Third Elder's mood was in turmoil.

"Cough, cough..."

"Third, Third Brother, please save me!"

At this moment, the Seventh Elder, trapped under Qin Xiao's foot, began to cough frantically and begged for help in a panic.

He never dreamed that he would be defeated with a single blow!

"Your Excellency, if you release Old Seven now, I can promise you that Haotian Sect won't pursue the matter of the Strength Clan any further," the Third Elder said. "In the future, we won't cross paths with you either."

The Third Elder remembered the Second Elder's instructions before leaving the sect. In his view, this was already a form of submission.

However...

Qin Xiao shook his head. "You need to recognize reality. Is this how you ask for help?"
