Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, the hungry wolf in the treatment pod knew that pretending to be unconscious was pointless, so it abruptly opened its eyes.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out the tubes from his body, then smashed the glass door of the treatment chamber with a powerful punch and walked out.

"Nutritional solutions are very expensive."

Qin Chuan glanced down at the nutrient solution leaking from the treatment pod and smiled at Hungry Wolf.

"Have you realized anything from the fighting these past few days?"

Seeing that Garou seemed to be in good condition, Qin Chuan nodded in approval—Garou had stayed in the "King's Army" territory for a week without any abnormalities, so it seemed that he could indeed bring Shidou back. (3)

However, besides that, he also wanted to hear about Hungry Wolf's reflections from this week.

Chapter 517 The Turtle Shell is a Tradition of the Turtle Hermit School

The wolf's expression at this moment was one of utter humiliation.

He had heard what Qin Chuan and Raditz had said, and he knew that in the eyes of the Saiyans, he was not even as good as a Saiyan child.

Indeed, Raditz had seen Saiyan children using Saibamen as training subjects more than once during this period.

Many Saiyan children could fight the Saibamen to a standstill, but Garou couldn't even last a single move against a Saibamen, which terrified him.

During his week on Planet Saiyan, he challenged his way down from the strongest Saiyan warriors to the Saiyan trainees.

His original confidence had been completely eroded, replaced by a deeper desire to become stronger—for which he would do anything.

Seeing the wolf's expression, Qin Chuan was also very satisfied—he knew that the wolf was now completely consumed by the desire to "become stronger," and would accept anything as long as it could make him stronger.

In other words, if Qin Chuan asked him to contact the gods to become stronger, he would probably accept without hesitation.

This was precisely Qin Chuan's main purpose in having the Saiyans undermine Garou's confidence—if this guy didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, Garou probably wouldn't accept the power of the "gods."

However, just as Qin Chuan was about to speak to 16 Hungry Wolf about the "gods," he suddenly saw Hungry Wolf kneel down.

He slammed his knees into the ground with tremendous force, cracking the cement.

Then, the hungry wolf pressed his hands to the ground, kneeling before Qin Chuan in a pleading gesture, and almost roared out through clenched teeth:

"Please tell me how to become stronger!!!"

"……what?"

Qin Chuan was stunned—he never expected that the hungry wolf would actually kneel down before him.

While Garou possesses his own pride in the original work, he does not resist becoming stronger through external means—just like when he accepted the power of a god.

Although his acceptance of the god's power and transformation into Starry Sky Hungry Wolf was a result of a series of coincidences, he did thank the god after becoming Starry Sky Hungry Wolf.

However, Qin Chuan was completely surprised that Hungry Wolf took the initiative to ask Qin Chuan for advice this time.

"You're not going to try the apprenticeship thing too, are you?"

In One-Punch Man, the bizarre master-disciple relationship between Saitama and Genos is a major highlight. Garou's situation is somewhat similar to when Genos became Saitama's apprentice.

However, Qin Chuan had no interest in taking on apprentices, especially since Hungry Wolf was his mission target and would be eliminated by him sooner or later.

Moreover, Qin Chuan's method of improvement is not something Garou can replicate, unless Garou also has Saiyan blood and possesses a top-tier Stand like "Blackbird".

"please!"

The hungry wolf did not answer, but continued to kneel in worship.

In that week, his confidence had been completely shattered—the Saiyans' power made him realize how narrow-minded he had been.

He didn't know that this was no longer the world he originally came from; at this moment, the hungry wolf still thought that this was just some alien planet in his original world.

Although this act of pleading made him feel like he had lost all his self-respect, it didn't matter—as long as he could become stronger, and as long as he could still return to Earth to carry out his goals after becoming stronger, he was willing to do anything.

"I have no interest in being your teacher."

Qin Chuan crouched down and squinted at Garou—although Garou's strength had increased considerably during this period, it was still far from the strength he possessed after transforming into a monster in the original work.

Although Garou was chosen by "God" and became a "God-Awakener" in the original work, it seems that "God" also has selection criteria.

For example, in the original work, he tried to lure Tatsumaki, Garou after his monster transformation, Saitama and Flashy Flash, as well as Ninja King, whom he had successfully lured in his early years—all of these guys are quite strong.

As for how Homeless Emperor was chosen... that's hard to say.

In short, Qin Chuan was worried that the current Hungry Wolf might not be favored by the gods, so appropriately increasing his strength wouldn't be a bad idea.

In any case, Qin Chuan was not worried that Hungry Wolf could improve to the point of threatening him through training alone.

"But if you simply want to become stronger... come with me."

After saying that, Qin Chuan walked out of the room.

Upon hearing this, the hungry wolf suddenly raised his head, a hint of excitement flashing across his face, and quickly followed.

From the other Saiyans, Garou also learned Qin Chuan's identity—the King of the Saiyans, possessing terrifying strength enough to crush all Saiyans.

If he could learn something from Qin Chuan, he could take another step towards his goal.

……

"what is this!?"

After a while, in the research lab on Planet Saiyan, the hungry wolf, carrying a huge tortoise shell on his back, was so overwhelmed by the weight that he could hardly breathe. He bared his teeth and let out a loud voice of doubt.

After arriving here with Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan chatted with a Saiyan for a few minutes, and then took out a huge tortoise shell from the side and had him put it on.

After he put it on, Qin Chuan seemed to operate some kind of instrument, and then Hungry Wolf felt the tortoise shell on his back suddenly become incredibly heavy, pressing down on him so that he couldn't move.

"That's a tortoise shell with gravity regulation. For the next while, you'll be carrying this thing around the Saiyan planet, helping the Saiyans with miscellaneous tasks."

Qin Chuan grinned as he looked at the hungry wolf carrying the tortoise shell and said with a smile.

"You can proceed to the next stage of training once you've fully adapted to the tortoise shell on your back."

"What the heck?! This is just regular weight training!?"

The hungry wolf's face contorted into a ferocious expression. He gritted his teeth and glared at Qin Chuan, letting out a puzzled roar.

"310 And why did they make this thing look like a tortoise shell?! It's so ugly!!"

"Because this is the training method of the Turtle Hermit School, making it into a turtle shell is also a tradition."

Qin Chuan then offered an explanation that the hungry wolf couldn't understand—although this kind of load could be carried even without a tortoise shell, Qin Chuan felt that a sense of ritual was still necessary.

These turtle shells were originally intended for training the Saiyans, so that they could learn the techniques of the Turtle School, which allowed them to use only brute force and not even be able to sense "ki".

Unexpectedly, Garou used it before the Saiyans could even use it.

As for Garou's complaint, he wasn't wrong—it was just ordinary weight training, something that many B-class and even C-class heroes do, not just Garou.

"What you need to learn is how to generate power under load and how to use 'qi' (vital energy)."

Qin Chuan squatted down and looked at the hungry wolf, who could no longer straighten his back, with a smile.

"Listen carefully, I will only say the basic knowledge about 'ki' once—as for whether you can comprehend 'ki' through the training of the Turtle Hermit School, that is up to you."

Qin Chuan was also quite curious about whether people from other worlds could learn the "ki" from the Dragon Ball world.

Since this hungry wolf is eager to be a test subject, Qin Chuan won't stand on ceremony with him.

He still has to go to the world of "Fate/Stay Night" later, so he can't linger on Garou for too long.

Chapter 518 Shinji Matou's Heroic Spirit

"Mr. Qin Chuan! I've uncovered information about a new contestant!"

Shortly after Qin Chuan entered the world of "Fate/Stay Night" and appeared in Reines's base room, Reines rushed into the room.

She had clearly set up some kind of magical barrier in the room, so she could sense anyone who appeared inside and thus came to see Qin Chuan immediately.

Upon seeing Qin Chuan, Reines immediately shared some new information she had gathered, a hint of pride on her face.

"A descendant of the Matou family... a guy named Shinji Matou also participated in this Holy Grail War and summoned a Servant!"

"Oh? Shinji Matou?"

Having just entered the mission world and barely caught his breath, Qin Chuan was quite surprised to hear Reines report such important information.

He certainly knew about Matou Shinji. In the original story of "Fate/Stay Night", Matou Shinji was portrayed as a scumbag character in a very memorable way.

However, Shinji Matou does not have magical talent. In the original work, the Servant he obtained was Rider Medusa, which he stole from Sakura Matou, and was not summoned by himself.

Sakura Matou and Shinji Matou have never even met, and Sakura Matou doesn't have the experiences from the original work, so it's impossible for her to be submissive to others.

It's obvious that Shinji Matou's Servant couldn't have been obtained from Sakura Matou, so where did he get his Servant from? The Holy Grail wouldn't choose someone who doesn't even have magical talent, would it?

"It seems that the Matou family's magical talent had completely declined by his generation, but he must have used some secret technique to forcibly possess magical talent."

However, Qin Chuan's doubts were quickly answered by Reines, who told him the information she had gathered.

"I'm not entirely sure what the specific secret technique is, but from what I've observed, that guy is incredibly thin and looks like he could die at any moment."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan roughly guessed how Matou Shinji had obtained his magician qualifications.

Emaciated and withered, as if he might die at any moment... Isn't this exactly the same situation as Matou Kariya?

Clearly, Shinji Matou somehow replicated Zouken Matou's Crest Worm technique and, like Kariya Matou, replaced his magic circuits with Crest Worms.

By allowing the Crest Worms to devour his body and convert his life force into magical energy, Shinji Matou gained sufficient magical aptitude and earned the Holy Grail's approval.

"It must be the Matou family's insect technique."

Qin Chuan laughed, and seeing Reines's puzzled look, he told her what he knew about the Matou family's insect magic.

When Reines learned about the Matou family's insect magic, she also showed a look of disgust on her face—as the successor of the Magic Lord, she obviously looked down on such disgusting magic.

While many magicians do dirty things in pursuit of the Root, the monarchs of the Mage's Association would certainly not get involved in such things.

How did you learn about him?

After telling Reines about the Matou family's insect magic, he became curious about how Reines had investigated Shinji Matou.

"That guy seems to know nothing about the methods of a magician... After becoming a Master, he swaggered over to the Fuyuki City Church to report to Kotomine Risei."

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's question, Reines's lips twitched, seemingly speechless at Matou Shinji's idiotic behavior.

"The familiars I placed near the church saw him immediately, so I knew he had become a participant in the Holy Grail War."

Indeed, due to Zouken Matou's death, the Matou family's knowledge of magic was almost completely severed. Although Shinji Matou somehow obtained the Crest Worms, he remained completely ignorant of the basics of magic. (2)

If he had even a little bit of awareness, he would have known to check for familiars nearby before reporting to Kotomine Risei, and then use some interference magic to prevent being seen by them. 3.

However, considering the Matou family's current situation, Shinji Matou might not even know how to use interference magic, and his magical energy might have been forcibly squeezed out using Crest Worms. (Lin)

"Then who is his servant?"

Qin Chuan had absolutely no interest in Matou Shinji—that guy was probably even weaker than Matou Kariya, and Qin Chuan could easily crush him.

He was more curious about who the Servant Shinji Matou summoned was. If it was someone with special abilities, it might be worth Qin Chuan's attention.

He hadn't used "Blackbird Requiem" to absorb new abilities for quite some time, and he was feeling a long-awaited urge to eat something. ③

Of course, if the servant was of little value, Qin Chuan wouldn't bother to speak.

"...That's unclear. He didn't summon his servants from the church; all we know is that his servant class is Archer."

Reines shook her head and said helplessly.

"Archer... an archer?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan chuckled thoughtfully—matou Shinji, could he have accidentally summoned the Heroic Spirit Emiya?

Although Shirou Emiya, who was adopted by Kiritsugu Emiya, no longer exists in this timeline, it is entirely possible to summon Servants from parallel worlds.

Given the ill-fated relationship between Shinji Nakagiri and Shirou Emiya in the original work, it's quite possible that they could actually summon the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

If it really is the Heroic Spirit Emiya, then we have no choice but to eat him... That guy's Reality Marble "Unlimited Blade Works" is quite interesting too.

Because the Reality Barrier "King's Army" obtained through previous absorption had undergone a change, Qin Chuan was quite curious whether the "(fortune-gotten) Blackbird Requiem" would have any reaction with the Reality Barrier.

If Shinji Matou really did summon the Heroic Spirit Emiya, then he could test the new Reality Marble to see if it would undergo any changes under the influence of "Blackbird Requiem".

"Alright, then today's goal is to eliminate Shinji Matou."

And so, with Qin Chuan's casual decision, Matou Shinji and his unknown Archer were sentenced to death.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Reines silently mourned for Matou Shinji's childhood.

She had no doubt that Qin Chuan could accomplish this task—after all, Mordred had already proven to Qin Chuan last night that his strength was far beyond that of ordinary heroic spirits.

As for Shinji Matou's life, it might not be safe either... Reines is not a kind-hearted person. She is a descendant of a remote magic family. If she dies, so be it.
