Urban God-level Youth

Ye Lingyi thought for a moment and said, "Then at least it must be a master of the Mahayana Realm, right?"

Qin Hao: "Do you want to go eat something? The academy has a dining hall too."

"Let's go down for a walk, we've stayed here for a month and haven't explored the academy yet," Wu Yutong said.

The other few nodded slightly, "Hmm, let's see what delicious food the academy's dining hall has."

A group of six people walked out of Hidden Dragon Hall, Ling'er was still holding Bai in her arms, although Bai's skin is now a pale golden color, looking much more radiant than before.

It's now around six in the afternoon, and there are quite a few people also descending the mountain.

They descended Hidden Dragon Peak and walked along the academy's path toward the dining hall.

The academy's dining hall is very large and sells mostly monster meat ranging from the Grandmaster Realm to the Peak Realm, although prices vary.

Besides monster meat, there are all kinds of spirit vegetables, spirit fruits, spirit porridge, etc.

Qin Hao and his group each ordered a meal, costing about six hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones, which is not too high but not too low either.

They sat around a rectangular table, and as they were eating, Du Qinghao came over with his meal, "Qin."

Qin Hao looked at him and said with a smile, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Peak Realm, Du Yingqiang."

Du Qinghao sat opposite him and chuckled dryly, "Qin, don't tease me. Without your Peak Ascending Elixir, I couldn't have broken through to the Peak Realm."

Qin Hao smiled slightly, "Du Yingqiang, I have something I want to ask you to help with now."

Du Qinghao froze for a moment and hurriedly said, "Qin, feel free to speak. As long as it's something I can do, I absolutely won't refuse."

Qin Hao: "I want to open a shop and I'd like you to help find a nice location for it. The rent and stuff can be according to market price."

Du Qinghao said with a smile, "I thought it was something major, this is a small matter. My Du Family has several shops in the busy area, just let me know which one you like, and I'll have someone arrange it for you."

"Du Yingqiang, help me pick one, I don't have the experience," Qin Hao said with a smile.

Du Qinghao asked, "What kind of business do you plan to run, Qin?"

Qin Hao: "Purchasing herbs, selling elixirs and stuff like that."

Du Qinghao froze for a moment, "Qin, are you an Alchemist??"

Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and Wu Yutong also looked at Qin Hao, Qin Hao still an Alchemist? Seems like we haven't seen him do any alchemy?

Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Sort of, just starting out."

"Alright, rest assured, Qin, I'll sort it out for you today." Du Qinghao knew what he wanted to sell, so he was aware.

After lunch, the group walked outside together; through conversation, Qin Hao learned that Du Qinghao was in Tianzi Class Two.

Before they even left the dining hall, they were blocked by a group of people, roughly a dozen of them opposite.

"You're Qin Hao?" a poised and vigorous man asked while looking at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao frowned slightly, this person's demeanor and stance clearly showed he was here to provoke, "What's the matter, dog, get out of the way."

The man who just spoke, Zhou Ze's face changed, "How dare you call me a dog? Today I'll teach you the academy's rules."

After saying that, he charged forward, directly and forcefully targeting Qin Hao.

"Be careful, Qin. This person is Prince Zhou Ze of the Nan Zhou Dynasty, half-brother to Zhou Liuxing and Zhou Wanqing," Du Qinghao secretly transmitted to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao rushed up, and the two fought fiercely inside the dining hall.

Many people eating around were stunned, how did these two start fighting in the dining hall??

"Is that Qin Hao?" someone saw Qin Hao's figure and was taken aback.

"That's right, it's Qin Hao, the Qin Hao who ranked first on the secret realm trial ranking."

"Who's the person fighting against Qin Hao? So powerful, is that a Peak Realm master?"

"I don't know him, didn't see this person during the secret realm trial."

A senior student from Heaven and Earth Academy said, "That's the eldest prince of the Nan Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Ze, who joined Heaven and Earth Academy years ago. His strength is terrifying."

"No wonder he's so terrifying, turns out he's a senior student."

"Boom boom boom"

"Bang bang bang"

Zhou Ze and Qin Hao fought fiercely, although Qin Hao was falling short, he did not show signs of defeat.

This made Zhou Ze frown slightly, this Qin Hao, who is only at the Heavenly Human Early Stage Peak, could withstand my attacks for this long.

He initially planned to defeat Qin Hao with lightning speed, humiliating him publicly to restore the face of the Nan Zhou Dynasty.

Even if seen by the academy's enforcement team, they wouldn't punish him, possibly just giving him a verbal reprimand.

He just didn't expect Qin Hao to hold out for this long.

"Stop." A crisp, melodious voice rang out, and simultaneously, a beam of light flew from afar, knocking the two fighters apart.

Zhou Ze and Qin Hao separated, Qin Hao's face was solemn, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze also scrutinized Qin Hao, it's no wonder he could rank first in the secret realm trial, his strength is indeed formidable, if it were other Heavenly Human Realm cultivators, they would have been defeated on his hands long ago.

"This is the cafeteria, fighting is prohibited here. If you want to fight, go to the arena." A woman with golden long hair, a voluptuous figure, and an incredibly seductive appearance walked over.

Zhou Ze snorted coldly, "Consider yourself lucky." After saying that, he quickly left with his entourage. He hadn't expected to encounter Zhou Danqing here.

...

Zhou Danqing looked at Qin Hao and his companions, and Qin Hao also looked back at her. Judging from this woman's earlier intervention, her strength was formidable, far surpassing Qin Hao and Zhou Ze.

The onlookers around them were all dumbfounded, seeing the woman's stunning figure, "Damn, this figure is incredibly spectacular, isn't it?"

"Wow, who is this sexy beauty? Her power is amazing."

"Keep your voice down, she's an instructor at the academy, with a fiery temper and terrifying strength. Don't provoke her, or you'll die a miserable death," an older student cautioned.

"Which instructor is this, so impressive?" A new student had no idea of Zhou Danqing's reputation.

Qin Hao glanced at Zhou Danqing and then turned his head, planning to leave with Ye Lingyi and the others.

Zhou Danqing felt a little displeased seeing Qin Hao's actions, "Stop there, aren't you going to thank someone who's helped you?"

Qin Hao turned his head and said calmly, "The one who should thank you is that person. Otherwise, after hundreds of rounds, he'd be sure to lose."

What bold words, that was Zhou Ze, the eldest prince of the Nan Zhou Dynasty, an experienced student of the Heaven and Earth Academy, and a Peak Realm Middle Stage expert.

Losing to Zhou Ze after hundreds of rounds??

"He's just at the Heavenly Human Early Stage Peak, yet dares to speak so arrogantly?" an older student remarked with disdain.

"The difference in strength at the later stages of cultivation is vast. A small difference in realm is a world of difference in power. Does Qin Hao think he can fight across realms and kill his opponent?"

Zhou Danqing's face turned slightly cold when she heard his words, "Oh? So, you mean I meddled unnecessarily?"

Qin Hao: "I didn't mean that, you're the one who said so."

"You... just wait and see." Zhou Danqing snorted coldly and turned to leave. With so many people here, she wouldn't argue with him now, but he would know her strength by tomorrow.

Qin Hao couldn't be bothered to deal with her; after all, he didn't know her.

Outside the cafeteria, Du Qinghao said to Qin Hao, "Qin, you mustn't provoke that person."

"Who shouldn't be provoked? That woman?" Qin Hao asked in confusion.

Du Qinghao nodded, "She's a renowned fiery instructor in the Heaven and Earth Academy. Many students have had broken bones from her beatings."

Qin Hao was taken aback, "The academy doesn't do anything if instructors beat up students?"

Du Qinghao: "There's nothing to be done about it, it's just a bone fracture. A few days of rest will heal it, but the pain of broken bones is unforgettable."

Qin Hao: "I probably won't have much interaction with her in the future."

"She's also a mentor for this year's freshman class, but I don't know which class she's in charge of." Du Qinghao muttered.

The two walked a distance and then parted ways, with Qin Hao and his group returning to the Hidden Dragon Hall.

They went up to the second-floor terrace, sitting there enjoying the night view.

Soon, Du Qinghao sent a message to Qin Hao: "Qin, your shop is ready. I've sent you the location; it's in the busiest area."

"Thank you, Du. What's the monthly rent?" Qin Hao asked.

Du Qinghao: "Qin, there's no need to be so formal. This shop is nothing to the Du family. I've already arranged everything. When you go, someone will hand you the deed, and there are two employees in the shop at your disposal."

Qin Hao: "Du, I won't be polite then. I'll thank you properly in the future."

Du Qinghao laughed, "Qin, don't be so formal with me. Just take it. If you need anything, feel free to ask."

...

After ending the communication, Qin Hao sat there gazing at the stars. Now that he had the shop, all that was missing were the products.

Ye Lingyi looked at Qin Hao and asked, "Mr. Qin, are you really planning to open a shop to sell goods?"

Qin Hao: "I have to earn some Spirit Stones. As my realm advances, I'll need more and more Spirit Stones in the future."

Xian Yin looked at him curiously, "Do you also know Alchemy, sir?"

Qin Hao: "Of course, otherwise what pills will I sell?"

Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and Wu Yutong were stunned. They had never seen Qin Hao perform Alchemy and didn't know he could.

"Mr. Qin, low-grade pills are very common in the market. Only high-quality pills can open the market," Dong Mengqi gently reminded him.

Qin Hao displayed a confident smile, "You'll know when the time comes."

His Heavenly Reversal Elixir Skill contained tens of thousands of pill formulas, any one of which had never appeared on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Around eight-thirty in the evening, Ye Lingyi, Dong Mengqi, and Wu Yutong each returned to their rooms.

Ling'er looked at Qin Hao and then glanced at Xian Yin, laughing mischievously, "Master, sister Xian Yin, I'm going back to cultivate too."

Xian Yin saw Ling'er's mischievous smile, and her pretty face turned crimson, "What on earth is going on in your head, you little rascal?"

"Alright, let's get some rest too." Qin Hao took her hand and headed back to the room.

Once in the room, Xian Yin hurriedly set up a soundproof barrier, afraid that any sounds might be heard by them later.

Qin Hao observed Xian Yin's actions with a faint smile on his face.
