Chapter 108: Qin Ming's Achilles' Heel

"Words reflect the person; this is the first time I've heard someone describe robbery so sanctimoniously. Teacher Qin is truly worthy of being the number one person in Douluo Dalu."

Wu Qi's expression was cold, showing no respect whatsoever.

Qin Ming stopped in his tracks and sneered repeatedly, "To dare to be disrespectful to a teacher, a fellow like you who has no regard for status or the monarch—"

Wu Qi gave a cold snort: "Stop right there, don't try to pin labels on me. Whether I respect His Majesty is for the Crown Prince to decide. Could it be that Teacher Qin is acting privately in the name of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family?"

"And your behavior is no different from a flustered thug. If all the teachers in the academy are of your caliber, I think the future of the empire is in grave danger."

"I will present your words from today to the Crown Prince exactly as they are. Teacher Qin, heh, this might be the last time I address you as a teacher. Take care of yourself."

Having finished speaking, without giving the other party a chance to retort, Wu Qi waved his hand, and a gust of wind rose out of thin air in the room, closing the door.

To avoid being caught by the door, Qin Ming retreated in a panic.

Stumbling a few steps, he raised his head, glared viciously, and left in a rage.

As a teacher, he refused to believe he couldn't handle a mere problem student!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Feng Xiaotian and the others immediately came to investigate what had happened.

Wu Qi informed them of the situation.

Huo Wu was quick-spoken, "If this place won't keep us, there are other places that will. Captain, Grandfather said that Chihuo Academy Academy Academy is always open to everyone."

"Qin Ming's behavior like this must have been tacitly approved by the Three Education Committees. The deceit here will seriously delay our training. Let's go to Chihuo Academy Academy Academy; I guarantee there will be a quiet environment."

Huo Wushuang agreed with her proposal and added a few words of support.

Feng Xiaotian, however, fell into thought. After a moment, he said, "Captain, do you know people from Shrek Academy?"

If they didn't know Shrek Academy, even the Three Education Committees couldn't possibly allow Qin Ming to act so recklessly.

It seemed the two sides had some contact, and the Three Education Committees wanted to help them out, which was why they put Qin Ming in charge of this matter.

Speaking of Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong immediately spoke up, "That is a piece-of-shit academy—"

There was no end to the complaints regarding Shrek Academy.

Wu Qi added, "Qin Ming is a graduate of Shrek Academy. I don't find it surprising that he would say such things."

Every teacher's resume is on file in the academy; it wasn't difficult to find out.

Feng Xiaotian didn't dwell on this matter and instead asked, "I don't know why, but the Three Education Committees seem to trust Teacher Qin unconditionally, even shielding him time and again."

The implication was that there was no benefit in continuing to fight against Qin Ming.

As three Spirit Douluo powerhouses, they had considerable influence in the Heaven Dou Empire; even if they really wanted to deal with Qin Ming, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family would have to heed the opinions of the Three Education Committees.

In this way, even with Dugu Bo behind them, it would likely not be easy to "battle" Qin Ming.

Furthermore, the Imperial Fighting Team Two hadn't been formed for long, and training was about to begin; dragging this out would be disadvantageous for them.

"I also think Xiao Wu's proposal is good. Why not join Chihuo Academy Academy Academy?" Feng Xiaotian suggested.

With the improvement in the strength of Feng Xiaotian and the others, the three families of Wind, Water, and Fire would certainly make moves soon.

If the three families joined under Wu Qi's command, going to Chihuo Academy Academy Academy would be fine.

As for whether the three families had other intentions, he wasn't worried.

The three families had been abandoned by the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and were facing the threat of the Elephant Armored Sect. If they dared to be two-faced at a time like this, Huo Lie and the others knew the consequences.

He had already decided to use the Qin Ming affair to help Prince Xue Xing rise to power.

Qin Ming was determined to win over Shrek Academy and would certainly reveal flaws.

Since Prince Xue Xing was the beneficiary, he should also put in some effort.

Thinking of this, Wu Qi said, "Everyone, rest well for these two days. If Qin Ming stops here, there's no need for us to leave. Conversely, I already have a countermeasure."

Feng Xiaotian and the others trusted his judgment and said no more about it.

……

Prince's Mansion.

Xue Beng hurried inside, "Royal Uncle, earth-shattering good news!"

Xue Xing put down his "work," got dressed, and immediately rushed to the main hall.

"Beng'er, how many times have I told you to be steady in your actions! Making such a racket, what kind of decorum is that?"

Xue Beng scratched his head and said hurriedly, "Royal Uncle, this is truly earth-shattering good news."

"The Three Education Committees want to abolish the quota for the Imperial Fighting Team Two and even sent Qin Ming to negotiate with Wu Qi."

"I heard from Ning Rongrong that they had a very unpleasant falling out, and Wu Qi's group has even considered dropping out."

"What?" It wasn't that Xue Xing hadn't heard clearly, but that he found the matter too absurd.

The Three Education Committees were Xue Qinghe's people; how could they possibly do these things to target Wu Qi?

After detailed questioning, he finally understood the reason.

"Heh, it seems winning over Shrek Academy is the main goal. The Imperial Fighting Team Two is very strong; they want to break them up and supplement the two teams to increase the strength of both simultaneously."

"It's just a pity that they've overreached and are bound to fail."

Logically, breaking up the people from Shrek Academy to enter the Imperial Fighting Team One and Two would be the correct solution.

He didn't know what Qin Ming had said to the Three Education Committees, but making such a foolish move was enough to prove that the Three Education Committees were old and no longer fit for their positions.

"Royal Uncle, this is a great opportunity. Should we make a move?" Xue Beng asked hurriedly.

Xue Xing didn't answer immediately but asked, "Who else knows about this?"

Xue Beng replied, "Just now, I saw Rongrong was in a bad mood, so I took the initiative to talk to her, and she inadvertently leaked some things. Then, I spent money to bribe Wu Qin. That kid is very close to Wu Qi and is very diligent, so I managed to figure out the reason."

Since few people knew, it wouldn't be easy for the news to leak.

In this matter, they must not give the Three Education Committees a chance to react; they must crush them in one blow!

"Beng'er, we cannot act rashly. While you are in the academy, find a way to collect evidence of Qin Ming colluding with the Three Education Committees to harm the talents of the Imperial Family. When the time is ripe, I will make my move."

……

At this moment, Qin Ming did not know he was already being targeted.

He came to the academy's resource warehouse as usual, and the teacher responsible for guarding the warehouse was not surprised by his arrival.

"The usual, collecting this month's cultivation supplies for the team."

The teacher guarding the warehouse did not think much of it and took a large amount of cultivation resources out from the storeroom.

Qin Ming then signed the names of the members of the Imperial Fighting Team on the resource collection form one by one.

As it happened, when he left the treasure vault, Chen Ping arrived at the warehouse.

The two sides came face to face; ignoring Chen Ping's fierce glare, Qin Ming went on his way.

When Chen Ping received his resources for the month, he noticed the names on the signature sheet and could not help but ask a question.

"Dugu Yan is out hunting for a soul ring and has not yet returned; how were her resources collected today?"

The teacher guarding the warehouse replied casually, "Teacher Qin is their team leader, he collected them on their behalf."

Chen Ping seemed to realize something and pressed further, "Then can I collect resources for our captain? He has been in seclusion recently and might not have time to come and collect them."

"You can. Just sign his name on the form."
