Hua Ping and Qin Guofang looked bewildered.
"Xiao Xia, what is the Divine Realm?" Hua Ping asked.
Long Xia took a deep breath, glanced at Qin Shou, who looked like a fool, with a complicated expression, and then replied.
"Aunt Hua, the Divine Realm Experts are supre beings above the Supre Strong, akin to gods of the universe, who can obliterate stars with a single strike."
Upon hearing this, Hua Ping and Qin Guofang finally showed expressions of horror.
"A being stronger than the Supre Strong? If one can co back safely from there, it would surely bless our ancestors."
"Exactly."
Qin Guofang looked at Qin Shou and said earnestly, "Son, losing to a Divine Realm Expert isn't shaful. After all, they're gods..."
Midway through his words, Qin Shou suddenly paused his motions, his eyes reddened, and faint traces of gray particles began to emanate from his body.
"Not good, it's starting again." Leng Wanbai saw this and quickly deployed a Light Energy Shield to isolate the gray particles, leaving only Qin Shou inside the shield to sigh in despair.
"What's wrong with him?" Long Xia asked in disbelief.
Leng Wanbai shook her head helplessly, "We simply cannot ntion the word 'lose' too many tis, or he'll fly into a rage easily."
"..."
The group's cheeks twitched; a single word could make him lose control. This kid certainly didn't used to be so fragile.
Yu Shusheng shook his head and sighed, "Ah, Qin Shou used to be such a proud person..."
Before he finished speaking, the gray particles inside the shield surged violently, scaring everyone.
"What's going on? We didn't even ntion the word 'lose'!" Fang Bao exclaid nervously.
Leng Wanbai glanced at Yu Shusheng, "Let's avoid ntioning the word 'proud' as well."
Group: "..."
At this mont, the gray particles within the shield gradually receded, and Qin Shou stood up with a vacant look in his eyes.
"I'm full."
He said, then turned around and crashed through the Light Energy Shield, walking hunched back toward his room.
The group watched as Qin Shou returned to his room, finally allowing themselves to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Co on, you all haven't eaten yet, just grab sothing to eat..."
Hua Ping wanted to invite everyone to eat but noticed the dishes on the table were covered with rice grains soaked in soy sauce, and she beca slightly embarrassed.
"Aunt Hua, we'll pass. Let's go back and think of a way to get Lao Qin back to normal." Long Xia said.
Fang Bao chid in, "That's right, Qin Shou is Earth's treasure; we can't let him stay so defeated."
Yu Shusheng stood up and said, "I'll notify Principal Qin right now and see if he has any ideas."
Sika and Lei exchanged glances, and Sika said, "We'll head back for now. Perhaps the Royal Palace holds so records of illnesses like this."
Lin Xiaoi spoke at the right mont, "We need to keep this matter as discreet as possible. If word gets out about Qin Shou's current state, it may cause another stir."
"Then I leave this matter to all of you." Qin Guofang said gratefully.
"No worries, Uncle Qin, we're all family here..."
...
The group departed, and on the road, Long Xia's face remained deeply troubled.
Fang Bao noticed and tried to comfort her, "Long Xia, don't worry, that guy's always been lucky; he'll bounce back in no ti."
Long Xia shook her head, "This matter is bigger than it seems; I'm afraid even Leng Wanbai doesn't fully know what happened."
Hearing this, the others grew confused.
"What do you an?" Lin Xiaoi frowned.
Long Xia pondered and explained, "With Lao Qin's personality, if he simply lost to a Divine Realm Expert, he wouldn't care too much, and at most he'd plan for revenge later.
But judging by his current state, it's possible his opponent is strong to the point that he cannot ever defeat them."
"That… can't be. Even against a Divine Realm Expert, if Qin Shou advances to the Divine Realm, there's definitely a chance." Fang Bao said doubtfully.
Long Xia's expression darkened, "If it were that simple, Lao Qin wouldn't be this defeated.
And I suspect… Lao Qin might already be a Divine Realm Expert."
"What?"
The group was stunned.
"Long Xia, do you have any evidence for this?" Yu Shusheng asked, shocked.
Long Xia shook her head, "No evidence, just speculation.
Losing to a stronger opponent isn't shaful. But losing to soone of the sa realm… Lao Qin might struggle to accept it.
That's sothing difficult to accept, but not impossible.
What's more terrifying is..."
As she spoke, Long Xia's eyes revealed a look of horror.
"What's even more terrifying?"
Fang Bao's expression turned tense, and the others also looked on with curiosity.
"What's more terrifying is that maybe Lao Qin wasn't just defeated in strength—perhaps he was completely crushed in every aspect. Only then could Lao Qin's confidence and pride be utterly shattered." Long Xia said gravely.
"This..."
Their faces all carried a trace of fear at this statent.
"No way. In every aspect… Could it be his intelligence got crushed too?" Fang Bao swallowed hard, unable to believe it.
Since eting Qin Shou, they had never seen anyone gain even the slightest advantage over him.
The group looked equally astonished.
"Completely crushing Qin Shou… Can a Divine Realm Expert really be this terrifying?"
"Could it be the Hundred-Eyed Divine Realm Expert from Demon Eye Planet?"
"Probably not. If they had truly fought, Principal Qin would have heard sothing about it."
"If it isn't Demon Eye Planet's Hundred-Eyed Divine Realm, then it must be either the Giant God Realm or the Drue Divine Realm."
"Stop guessing, and let's avoid bringing it up in front of Qin Shou. Otherwise, he'll lose control again. Let's start thinking of solutions individually for now."
"Mm, agreed..."
...
That night, Leng Wanbai carried a glass of milk to Qin Shou's room door, and a smug, playful laugh reached her ears.
"Hehe, Master was so obedient today, so I won't hold back..."
Leng Wanbai's face darkened, and she forcefully pushed open the door. The sight of Qin Shou lying on the bed, staring blankly, ca into view, with Zhi Yin beside him, gleefully rubbing up against him.
"What are you doing?" Leng Wanbai shouted angrily, stepping forward and shoving Zhi Yin aside.
