138: Chapter 138 Official Obstruction, Blank Slate's Fury, Killer Aura Dominates the Entire Venue

After listening, Lin Qi put away the Dragon-shaped jade pendant in his hand.

He stood up and patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder.

"Let's go."

His tone was calm, as if he were just heading to the cafeteria for a meal.

Watching Lin Qi's composed demeanor, Zhang Wei felt uneasy.

He couldn't understand how Brother Qi could be so unbothered by such a big deal.

The Principal's office.

Several people were sitting in the room.

They were all wearing dark blue uniforms, with the Federal Tournament emblem printed on them.

The Principal stood to one side, his expression somewhat troubled.

Instructor Su Qing was also there; she leaned against the wall with her arms crossed, her expression very unpleasant.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy.

Lin Qi walked in and immediately spotted the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the sofa.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his hair was slicked back until it shone.

His eyes were filled with shrewdness and arrogance.

When the middle-aged man saw Lin Qi enter, he didn't stand up, merely lifting his chin.

"You're Lin Qi?"

His voice carried a condescending tone.

Lin Qi didn't answer; he simply found an empty seat and sat down casually.

Seeing this, the Principal gave a dry cough.

"Student Lin Qi, these are leaders from the Federal Tournament Organizing Committee. This is Director Li."

Lin Qi nodded, saying nothing.

Director Li's expression was very dissatisfied.

He slammed the documents in his hand onto the table with a "pop."

"Student Lin Qi, we are here this time to conduct a qualification review for you."

He emphasized the words "qualification review" heavily.

Lin Qi looked up at him.

"Review what?"

A fake smile hung on Director Li's lips.

"Your data showed serious anomalies during the Five-Academy League."

"A Level 1 Blank Slate with all stats at 5, yet you could defeat S-rank talents and win the double crown."

He paused, staring at Lin Qi.

"This is highly illogical. We suspect you used prohibited drugs or cheating methods."

Upon hearing this, Instructor Su Qing's brows knitted together.

"Director Li, this is just a suspicion."

She stepped forward.

"The league officials have already conducted on-site testing, and the results show that Lin Qi has no violations."

Director Li waved his hand, interrupting Instructor Su Qing.

"On-site testing is on-site testing; the Federal Tournament is the Federal Tournament."

He picked up the documents from the table and handed them to Lin Qi.

"To maintain the fairness of the Federal Tournament, we have decided to conduct a more comprehensive test on you."

"This is the 'Fully Sealed Testing Agreement.' Please sign it."

Lin Qi took the documents without even glancing at them.

"Fully Sealed Testing Agreement?"

He unfolded the document.

Director Li's smile deepened.

"That's right. Once you sign this agreement, you will undergo our testing throughout the entire period before the tournament begins."

"During this time, you may not contact any outsiders. We will provide the best room and board."

Between the lines, he was telling Lin Qi that this was essentially house arrest.

Instructor Su Qing's face darkened.

"Director Li, this is against the rules."

She walked to Lin Qi's side.

"Only suspects with clear evidence can be subjected to such measures."

Director Li adjusted his glasses.

"There is no evidence, but we have sufficient reason to suspect."

He looked at Instructor Su Qing.

"After all, for a contestant with all stats at 5 to win the championship, it is too absurd for all professionals."

"This is for the fairness of the tournament and for the interests of all participants."

He emphasized the word "interests" heavily.

Lin Qi held the agreement, only glancing at a few words on it.

He had no interest in reading it carefully.

"Testing?"

Lin Qi looked up at Director Li.

"I'm not interested."

After saying this, his hand flicked.

Rip!

The agreement, with its black and white text, was torn into shreds by him instantly.

The paper scraps danced in the air, then fell into the trash can like snowflakes.

"You!"

Director Li's face changed color.

He stood up abruptly.

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point at that moment.

Lin Qi brushed the paper scraps off his hands.

"If you want to test me, see me on the tournament field."

His voice was very faint, but every word struck at people's hearts.

"You want to put me under house arrest?"

Lin Qi's eyes swept over Director Li.

"You don't have the qualifications for that."

Director Li's face turned liver-colored.

He pointed at Lin Qi, his body trembling.

"Arrogant! You are defying the authority of the Federal Tournament!"

He pointed at Lin Qi.

"If you don't cooperate, we have the right to cancel your eligibility!"

Lin Qi's body moved slightly.

He made no sound, simply standing up from the sofa.

He took a step forward.

Director Li subconsciously retreated.

Lin Qi took another step.

Director Li's heart beat fast.

He felt the aura on Lin Qi had changed.

Lin Qi's eyes stared at Director Li.

An invisible aura instantly enveloped Director Li.

That wasn't power; it was a form of pressure.

A thick, intense Evil Qi erupted from Lin Qi.

It was the aura forged from killing countless monsters and enemies in the Thunder Ruins and the Mass Grave.

An ordinary administrative staff member could not withstand this Evil Qi at all.

Director Li's face turned deathly pale.

He felt as if his throat was being strangled by something.

He felt difficulty breathing.

His legs went weak.

He stumbled and collapsed onto the sofa.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, streaming down his cheeks.

His mouth opened, but no sound came out.

The look in his eyes when he gazed at Lin Qi was no longer arrogance, but terror.

Lin Qi looked at him and spat out one word.

"Get out."

His voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in Director Li's ears like a thunderclap.

Director Li was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He sprang up from the sofa.

He grabbed the documents on the table and ran out without looking back.

The other committee members in the office were terrified to see Director Li like this.

They didn't care about the documents or any authority.

They followed Director Li, fleeing the Principal's office in a disheveled state.

Before leaving, Director Li stood at the door, turned his head, and threw a threat at Lin Qi.

"Lin Qi! Just you wait! We will 'take care' of you within the rules!"

Lin Qi ignored him.

The Principal watched the committee members running away and gave a bitter smile.

"Student Lin Qi, you've offended them completely this time."

He shook his head.

"However, well done!"

The Principal said, giving Lin Qi a thumbs up.

The treasure of this school should have such dominance.

Instructor Su Qing walked to Lin Qi's side.

She looked at Lin Qi with worried eyes.

"Lin Qi, you tore up the agreement publicly and offended the committee."

Her tone was serious.

"They will definitely create all sorts of trouble for you in the tournament."

"They might even use some underhanded tactics."

Lin Qi shrugged.

"It doesn't matter."

He said, walking toward the window.

"Anyway, I never counted on any fairness."

His gaze looked toward the distance.

"Haven't I been playing uphill battles all along this journey?"

He looked up at the sky.

"Compared to these power struggles, I'm more anxious to go to the Earth Fiend Cave."

Anticipation glimmered in Lin Qi's eyes.

He was going to give that greedy Dragon-shaped jade pendant a good recharge.

That night, Lin Qi avoided all surveillance and quietly snuck into the Forbidden Ground behind the school.
