I've already become a Titled Douluo and now the System shows up?

```

Walking out of Shrek Academy, Qin Xiao wandered aimlessly.

Although Shrek was small, the village where he found himself, despite its decline, had a sense of serenity. It could calm one's heart.

Unknowingly, Qin Xiao entered some kind of profound state.

To be honest, having been in Soul Land for over a decade, he rarely had such leisure. Head down, focused on improving his Cultivation Level, was what he had been doing all these years.

Just like that, he kept walking.

Day broke.

Dawn spread, like a pair of warm hands, gently caressing one's cheeks.

It was then that Qin Xiao awoke.

"Not bad, this epiphany has completely stabilized my Cultivation Level, without affecting my future cultivation progress."

Noticing a change in his strength, Qin Xiao felt somewhat surprised.

Glancing around, he could confirm he was still in the village next to Shrek Academy.

However.

Just as he was thinking of leaving and returning to Shrek, two figures entered his sight.

"Cuihua, if you want to break up with me, it's fine, but we'll have one more go. Otherwise, no chance!"

A lecherous, rotund man with small eyes, short hair, and a mustache on the corners of his lips, was grabbing the arm of an ordinary-looking young girl.

Cuihua pleaded, "No, no more. Please let me go. Are you even human?"

Huh?

Qin Xiao found this somewhat amusing, such classic lines, and the lecherous image was definitely Shrek's very own Ma Hongjun.

However, he had heard that Zhao Wuji was supposed to be training Tang San, Xiaowu, and the others. Looks like he couldn't come to act heroically.

As for whether he would intervene?

Wishful thinking.

Regarding such irrelevant people and matters, he really had no inclination to get involved.

After all, in this world, too many injustices happened every day. Having seen too much, he had long become numb to it.

Thump, thump, thump...

He withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at Ma Hongjun and Cuihua, and walked straight away into the distance.

[Ding, a side quest has been issued.]

[The measure of a hero is to act for one's country and its people. Rookie Soul Master, though you are not strong, you should never lose the heart of a true patriot. You must contribute to the fight against evil forces.

Quest: Confront the evil forces before you and save the girl in need.

Quest Reward: First Soul Ring lifespan +100 years.]

Qin Xiao: "???"

System, aren't you sticking your nose into too many things?

"I decline this quest," Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered with these issues.

[Ding.]

[Declining a side quest will prevent you from triggering future side quests, do you wish to continue declining?]

Decline this quest and I can't trigger future ones? Qin Xiao believed that even the future side quests' rewards wouldn't be too shabby.

To give up a forest for the sake of one tree seemed hardly worthwhile.

"Fine, I won't decline. I accept this quest, just this once, I'll be the good guy."

Qin Xiao decided not to decline the quest after all.

[Ding, side quest accepted successfully.]

[Note: Your opponent is very strong and matches your strength. Please proceed with caution.]

Matches my strength? Qin Xiao was speechless; I could crush him with one finger, okay?

"System, is there any reward that can make you behave normally?" he asked inwardly.

However, the system did not respond.

Qin Xiao knew the system was hopeless. It had completely given up on treating him.

"Ma Hongjun, I beg you, let me go. I really can't take it anymore...."

At that moment, Cuihua was still struggling.

"Heh heh, you keep struggling, the more you do it, the more excited I become."

Ma Hongjun grasped Cuihua's arm, chuckling sinisterly.

"Let her go..."

Suddenly, a cold rebuke rang out, startling Ma Hongjun.

```

"Fuck, where'd this kid come from, daring to screw up my good thing?"

Ma Hongjun's anger soared instantly as he turned his head to look at Qin Xiao, his eyes filled with malice.

As he spoke, he had already let go of Cuihua. "Playing the hero, attempting to rescue the damsel in distress, you should check if you've got enough strength for that."

The next moment, he charged at Qin Xiao like an arrow released from a bow.

Fist covered in flesh, soul power surging, he was determined to make the one who disturbed his fun pay the price.

However, Qin Xiao's response was simple. With a light flick of his index and middle finger, he precisely hit Ma Hongjun's fist.

In contrast, Ma Hongjun only felt an unstoppable force coming from his fist, which directly sent him flying.

Bang!

Finally, Ma Hongjun crashed to the ground more than ten meters away.

Immediately after, he rolled and hastily stood up.

But a throbbing pain in his right hand twisted his features into a grimace.

"It's probably fractured..."

Ma Hongjun knew his condition was pretty bad.

Looking at Qin Xiao again, his gaze changed, filled with caution and shock.

He was certain that this young man in front of him was definitely stronger than himself and possibly a direct-attack class soul elder like Boss Dai.

As for being a Soul Elder or above, he hadn't even considered it...

After all, how could someone of his age be a Soul Elder, right?

"Good, very good, excellent."

"Kid, if you've got the guts, wait for me here."

After finishing, without waiting for Qin Xiao's answer, he turned around and ran off with all his might.

Qin Xiao: "..."

Truly a disciple of Flander's, sometimes his mind could be quite sharp.

[Ding, side mission completed. The reward has been issued.]

The mechanical voice rang out, and Qin Xiao felt a slight increase in his strength.

"Thank, thank you."

At this moment, no longer in shock, Cuihua looked at Qin Xiao with a face full of gratitude.

"It was nothing."

As Qin Xiao spoke, he took out a pouch from the Soul Guidance Space and tossed it over: "Here are ten golden soul coins, leave this village and start a new life somewhere else."

To help to the end. . . well, to send Buddha to the west. Qin Xiao directly eliminated the possibility of Cuihua being threatened by Ma Hongjun in the future.

Ten golden soul coins were more than enough for an ordinary person like Cuihua to live a stable life.

However, Cuihua shook her head. "Sir, I don't want the money. Why don't I follow you instead, I can do so much more..."

Her words obviously had an underlying meaning.

Huh? Qin Xiao was stunned, looking at Cuihua incredulously.

You might not want the money, but you're after my life.

I saved you, why would you repay kindness with enmity?

This is a sin!

"Take the money. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

"Don't even say you know me."

As his voice faded, he had already disappeared on the spot.

...

"We're here, we finally made it!"

After a while, Ma Hongjun, out of breath, finally made it back to Shrek Academy.

"Fatty, what happened to you?"

At the academy gate, Oscar, who had just finished training, hurried up to him, followed by Dai Mubai.

"How many times did you do it yesterday, you're pale as a ghost, unstable on your feet, did someone hollow you out? Here, eat my big sausage to recover a bit."

Oscar said, pulling out a bright red big sausage...

Yuck...

Ma Hongjun felt a wave of disgust, "Stop grossing me out."

Pushing Oscar aside, he turned to the approaching Dai Mubai and pleaded mournfully, "Boss, you've got to help a brother out."
