Teacher, You're So Annoying

The moment the Martial Soul Avatar was activated, Ye Feiyang's all-around stats instantly surged several times over!

At this moment, he was like a god descending to the mortal realm, his gaze arrogantly looking down upon Tang Hao.

With every movement, sharp sword energy crisscrossed, all sweeping towards Tang Hao.

Tang Hao, on the other hand, had long lost his initial composure. His already tattered clothes became even more ragged, and his appearance could be described as utterly miserable.

He never would have expected things to end up like this.

He finally managed to forcefully shatter the domain. Enduring the intense pain, he madly swung his iron hammer. His movements seemed chaotic, but in reality, he was secretly accumulating power.

This was precisely his unique skill: Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!

Ye Feiyang raised an eyebrow slightly and unleashed "Law Severing Strike" once more, coldly stating, "Old man, today I'll let you experience what 'stopping midway' truly means!"

Tang Hao, who was gathering strength, felt his Soul Power stagnate once again. The process of stacking power was interrupted yet again. His throat felt sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes widened in shock, staring intently at Ye Feiyang as if he were looking at a monster.

His tightly clenched jaw and trembling body all spoke of his immense rage at this moment.

He simply couldn't comprehend why the sword energy was so fast and accurate. He clearly wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't react in time, let alone defend.

Up to this point in the battle, he hadn't even managed to get within half a step of Ye Feiyang, yet he was already injured in multiple places, his clothes soaked with blood, looking utterly pathetic.

He raised his iron hammer high and roared at the sky:

"Eighth Soul Ring, explode for me!"

Driven to desperation, Tang Hao finally used the core profound meaning of the Great Sumeru Hammer—Ring Detonation!

His strength instantly surged several times over. He swung his giant hammer directly at Ye Feiyang's face, but Ye Feiyang easily dodged it with an extremely bizarre movement technique.

This powerful strike landed as if hitting cotton, with no point of leverage. Tang Hao almost lost control of the surging Soul Power within him.

"Ah—where on earth did you learn such a sinister movement technique?"

He was truly anxious, having never fought such a frustrating battle before. His anger was immense, yet he had nowhere to vent it.

Ye Feiyang didn't forget to deliberately disrupt his mindset, teasing him in a playful tone:

"You want to learn? Call me 'Daddy'... and I'll teach you, how about that!"

It had to be said, his ability to infuriate people was quite something.

Tang Hao was driven to near madness by these words. Disregarding his injuries, he launched another fierce assault.

He didn't want anything now, only to hit Ye Feiyang once.

As long as he could hit him once, even if Ye Feiyang didn't die, he would be permanently disabled.

Unfortunately, Ye Feiyang wasn't an idiot; how could he give him such an opportunity?

To think that he, the dignified Clear Sky Douluo, was pushed to such a point by a Soul Sage. If this news got out, where would his reputation go?

The pressure was ineffective, the domain was suppressed, Soul Skills were repeatedly interrupted, and the opponent's movement technique was as fast as a ghost...

This kind of almost unscrupulous fighting style could drive someone to complete despair.

He couldn't hit him, he simply couldn't hit him.

For close-combat Soul Masters like them, this situation was incredibly difficult to handle.

Not only that, but Ye Feiyang's attacks were also exceptionally sharp, capable of penetrating defenses and directly attacking the physical body.

Ye Feiyang dodged while taunting, "Old man, you dare to cause trouble for me when you're broke? Since you can't pay, leave your leg behind..."

He wasn't joking; he genuinely intended to cripple one of Tang Hao's legs.

That way, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to hop around in front of him all the time, annoying him.

Tang Hao's mental state was indeed on the verge of collapse. A sense of unease vaguely arose in his heart. If this continued, he would definitely lose miserably.

He subconsciously glanced at his right leg, and a bone-chilling coldness instantly shot up his spine.

Even after detonating his Soul Ring, he still couldn't take down the opponent. How could he continue fighting?

"Kid, I admit your strength is formidable, but don't get too arrogant. I will return!"

At this moment, Tang Hao had already developed the intention to retreat and was preparing to seize the opportunity to escape.

Seeing him trying to run, how could Ye Feiyang let him slip away so easily?

"Trying to run? I told you long ago, no money, no leaving! Leave your leg behind before you go..."

Ye Feiyang roared, his Soul Skills seemingly consuming no Soul Power as he continuously harassed Tang Hao, who was attempting to flee.

However, Tang Hao's mind was solely focused on escaping. The flight advantage of a Titled Douluo was fully displayed at this moment.

Although Ye Feiyang's movement technique was exquisite, he couldn't stay airborne for an extended period. In the end, he still couldn't catch up to Tang Hao.

"You dog! Cowardly wretch! You just wait, I promised you'd pay the price!"

Ye Feiyang cursed at Tang Hao's retreating figure, "Damn it, you made me run for nothing! Next time we meet, I'm definitely cutting off your right leg! Damn it!"

He grumbled and turned back towards Supreme Academy.

This chase had lasted for over two hours.

When he returned to the academy's small courtyard, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were surprisingly waiting for him in the yard, their faces full of worry.

"Huh? Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing standing here?"

Ye Feiyang asked irritably, "Do you want to train more? Fine, then each of you do a thousand squats. Don't even think about sleeping if you don't finish!"

Not only did he make a wasted trip, but he also lost a sum of "potential income." In his opinion, not making money was equivalent to losing money, so he was in a bad mood.

Ning Rongrong quickly walked forward and asked cautiously, "Teacher, where did you go so late?"

Zhu Zhuqing sized Ye Feiyang up and down before saying, "Teacher, did you get into a fight with someone again?"

Her words instantly reminded Ning Rongrong.

She had previously thought that her teacher hadn't returned late at night because he was secretly meeting that front desk lady...

"Huh? So Teacher went out to fight, not to 'that kind of fight'!" Her tone immediately became a little subtle.

Being scrutinized by the two girls, Ye Feiyang's unhappiness dissipated by more than half.

But he still retorted, "Hey, don't even mention it. I lost money, so I can't be in a good mood!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this.

Ye Feiyang raised his hand and lightly patted the back of her head, "What are you laughing at? You talk too much! A thousand squats, start now! Immediately! Right away! Zhuqing, you watch her do them! If she dares to laugh at your teacher, she must be punished properly!"

After saying that, he turned around angrily and returned to his room.

The two girls exchanged glances, couldn't help but smile, and then began to do squats.

"Rongrong."

Zhu Zhuqing said softly while doing squats, "Don't laugh at Teacher casually anymore. Although Teacher is powerful, he's actually quite young and very concerned about his reputation."

Ning Rongrong felt even more like laughing when she heard this. She tried hard to suppress her laughter and replied, "Mhm, I know~ Zhuqing, do you know when Teacher's birthday is? I want to give him a box of Gold Coins to make him happy."

Zhu Zhuqing helplessly gave a wry smile and shook her head. Only Ning Rongrong could come up with such an idea.

She actually knew nothing about Ye Feiyang's past.

The only thing she could be sure of was that Ye Feiyang must have had a very difficult childhood.

In Zhu Zhuqing's opinion, her teacher's fondness for Gold Coins might not be a simple preference, but rather that Gold Coins could bring him a sense of security. Perhaps he was truly afraid of poverty.

People with keen senses could always accurately perceive the deepest thoughts of others.

A thousand squats were not a difficult task for them now.

The two of them finished easily and then returned to their respective rooms to rest.

The small courtyard under the night sky returned to its usual tranquility.

The next morning, as soon as dawn broke, Ye Feiyang was already awake.

He had become angrier the more he thought about it last night, and the angrier he got, the less he could sleep.

After much thought, he felt that even if he really snatched Tang San's belt, it wouldn't compensate for the mental distress caused by Tang Hao's disturbance yesterday.

If the father was so poor, how much money could the son have?

Thus, a brand new plan gradually took shape in his mind.

He was going to raid Tang San's old home and destroy his birthplace.

This move would kill two birds with one stone: it would not only annoy Tang San but also force Tang Hao to come find him.

Otherwise, how could he find a Titled Douluo who was determined to hide to demand money from?

"Zhuqing, Rongrong..."

He summoned his two disciples and got straight to the point, "I'm leaving the academy in your care for a few days, Teacher needs to go out."

Ning Rongrong immediately stepped forward and tugged at his sleeve, acting spoiled, "Teacher, where are you going? Take me with you! Please, take me! I'll cover all the expenses on the road!"

Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also showed anticipation.

But when she saw Ye Feiyang's unusually serious expression, the words that were about to come out of her mouth were swallowed back. She only asked softly, "Teacher, how long will you be gone this time?"

This time, Ye Feiyang refused firmly, even in the face of the temptation of Gold Coins.

"I'm not taking anyone with me this time."

Ye Feiyang roughly estimated the time, "I'll be back in about three days."

Since they met, they had never been apart for such a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing didn't know what Ye Feiyang was going to do, and a sense of reluctance involuntarily welled up in her heart. She asked worriedly, "Won't it be dangerous to go out this time?"

Ye Feiyang raised his chin, his face full of confidence, "With your teacher's strength, do you think anyone can bring me danger?"

Danger? It simply didn't exist for him.

Zhu Zhuqing felt that her teacher was bragging, but she had no evidence to refute it.

"I don't care, I'm going with you!"

Ning Rongrong started to act shamelessly, "If you don't take me, I, I, I..."

She "I...ed" for a long time but couldn't think of a way to threaten her teacher.

She suddenly realized that besides being greedy, Ye Feiyang was practically flawless.

And now it seemed like she was the one who couldn't leave her teacher, not the other way around.

"Wuwuwu~~ Teacher, you're so annoying!"

Ning Rongrong, pouting, ran back to her room crying.

Back home, as long as she shed a couple of tears, what couldn't she get?

Why did that trick not work on her teacher?

Ye Feiyang was also quite helpless.

He was about to do something bad this time. Could stealing things from others be considered honorable?

Such shady dealings weren't suitable for two "pure" young girls to be involved in. What if he corrupted them?

"Zhuqing, keep an eye on Rongrong. Don't let her cause trouble."

"Don't worry, Teacher, I'll watch her." Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly and agreed.

After finishing all his arrangements, Ye Feiyang moved, streaking out of the academy like a gentle breeze.

He traveled at full speed, asking passersby for directions as he went.

With his speed, it only took him a day to successfully arrive at the legendary Holy Soul Village.

He strolled around the village and even met Village Chief Old Jack, who had personally sent the God King (Tang San) off to school.

However, the Holy Soul Village didn't seem to have anything special about it.

"This place is called a treasure land and even produced a God King? It doesn't look like much..."

He muttered to himself as he easily found the blacksmith shop belonging to Tang San's family within the village.

He had originally thought he might run into Tang Hao here and catch him by surprise.

But things didn't go as planned. The blacksmith shop was deserted, and weeds had grown all around the front and back of the house.

It was clear that no one had returned for a long time.

But that didn't matter. His primary target this time wasn't Tang Hao, but to take Ah Yin away!

This was the plan he had devised after thinking all night.

The troublesome part was that he didn't know where Ah Yin was specifically planted.

He only knew that Tang Hao had kept her by his side before she was transplanted to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Therefore, Ah Yin was likely hidden in the Holy Soul Village, although it was also possible she was somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"This is a bit difficult..." Ye Feiyang scratched his head, looking troubled.

But since he had already come, he couldn't leave empty-handed.

He hadn't mastered any special detection methods yet, so he could only rely on his own Soul Power perception, carefully searching every patch of Lan Yin Grass to see if there was any Soul Power fluctuation.

Thus, the villagers of Holy Soul Village saw a strange outsider that day. The person wandered around the village in a peculiar manner, paying special attention to places where Lan Yin Grass grew, and occasionally muttering to himself in front of a clump of grass.

"That's strange, the village is only this big. Where could Ah Yin be hidden?"

"Given Tang Hao's personality, he definitely wouldn't plant Ah Yin too far away, so he could often 'look at the grass and think of her'..."

With this thought, Ye Feiyang began a carpet-like search centered around Tang San's family blacksmith shop.

Finally, at the foot of the mountain behind the blacksmith shop, at the end of a stream, behind a waterfall's curtain, he discovered a very hidden cave.

Of course, plants couldn't be planted in a cave, as plants needed photosynthesis to grow.

What he truly discovered was, next to the cave entrance, a patch of Lan Yin Grass that seemed to grow casually, but the surrounding weeds had been meticulously cleared away.

This spot had plenty of water and sunlight, yet only this single patch of Lan Yin Grass grew here, which was clearly abnormal.

Another point was that from this location, one could see Tang San's house from afar, and vice versa.

With a Soul Master's eyesight, at this distance, the Lan Yin Grass could be clearly seen from Tang San's house.

This shouldn't be a coincidence.

As Ye Feiyang got closer, he felt an extremely faint Soul Power fluctuation from this patch of Lan Yin Grass.

His heart leaped with joy. It seemed this patch of Lan Yin Grass was Ah Yin.

He slowly approached, intending to test the other party, and began his "performance."

He reached out and gently stroked the leaves of the Lan Yin Grass, deliberately saying, "Ah Yin, you are Ah Yin, right? You know Tang Hao's situation, don't you?"

"He's incredibly powerful now, a majestic Clear Sky Douluo, always surrounded by women, bragging about the hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring he scammed from who knows where. Tsk, the scene was so domineering, he actually used a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring to pick up girls!"

He deliberately fabricated words that could disturb someone's mind.

What? Don't believe me? Then refute me yourself!

At first, the Lan Yin Grass under his feet showed no reaction.

But as he spoke more and more outrageously, Ye Feiyang suddenly felt his ankle being brushed by a blade of grass, very lightly.

Although there was a breeze at the time, this touch was definitely not natural!

Ye Feiyang grinned, finally revealing his true intentions. "You thought I wouldn't recognize you if you played dead? Let me tell you, your son Tang San is already dead! I've come specifically to escort you to see him one last time!"

These words struck like a bolt from the blue. The Lan Yin Grass could no longer maintain its disguise. Its leaves began to sway wildly, even actively coiling around Ye Feiyang's ankles with a force filled with mixed grief and anger, as if questioning him, or perhaps begging him.

"Heh heh, you can't escape now!"

Ye Feiyang laughed triumphantly and took out a flower pot he had prepared from his Storage Soul Tool. "I was just tricking you earlier. I didn't expect you to be so easily provoked. But now, you can't run away."

As he transplanted the Lan Yin Grass into the pot, he muttered, "Your ex-husband Tang Hao is too annoying. I'm afraid he'll play dirty later, so I'm taking you as a bargaining chip. That's only reasonable, right?"

"Well, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."

After successfully transplanting Ah Yin into the pot, Ye Feiyang was in a great mood. Just as he was preparing to return, he felt like something was missing.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot, there seems to be a good thing hidden in this cave."

With a sense of excitement, he entered the cave and began searching everywhere...

Not long after, he found a box. This box was faintly emitting Soul Power fluctuations.

"Hahaha~~ Ah Yin, this must be your Soul Bone, right? Since you're not living here anymore, I'll keep this Soul Bone for you for now."

"Well, you're not saying anything, so I'll assume you agree."

He packed his things and walked straight out of the cave, feeling incredibly good.

Ah Yin was actually very weak at this moment and couldn't withstand such torment. The entire Lan Yin Grass plant looked listless and devoid of life...

Just as Ye Feiyang successfully "stole the grass and pilfered the bone," two uninvited guests arrived at Supreme Academy.

One was a middle-aged man with elegant demeanor and graceful bearing. The other was a tall figure completely enveloped in a set of thick, dark armor. His aura was steady and condensed, inspiring awe at first glance.

These two were Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who had rushed here day and night after receiving an urgent letter.

At this moment, the two stood before the entrance of Supreme Academy, looking at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard with surprise.

"This is the Supreme Academy that Rongrong mentioned?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, finding it hard to believe.

"There's no mistake. I can already sense Rongrong's aura, she's inside," Gu Rong said with certainty.

Ning Fengzhi didn't doubt Gu Rong's judgment. He simply felt that the academy's environment was too poor to match his daughter's status.

He raised his hand, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction as much as possible, and gently knocked on the courtyard gate.

Inside the courtyard, the two girls practicing yoga were startled by the knock.

Ning Rongrong tilted her head and asked curiously, "Is Teacher back?"

"It shouldn't be that soon..."

Zhu Zhuqing was calmer. "Teacher said it would take at least two or three days to return."

Ning Rongrong couldn't be bothered to guess. She'd know who it was once she opened the door.

She ran to open the door with great enthusiasm.

As soon as the door opened, her vision suddenly went dark.

That's right, she bumped headfirst into a shiny black armor—it was Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"Grandpa Bone?"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Bone Douluo saw her drenched in sweat and with messy hair, and his heart ached. "Rongrong! Why do you look like this? Did someone bully you? Tell Grandpa quickly, and I'll deal with them for you!"

"No, Grandpa Bone!"

Ning Rongrong quickly waved her hand and explained, "I'm training! How did you find this place?"

Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly from the side and walked out from behind Gu Rong.

He appeared calm on the surface, but his eyes had already scanned his daughter up and down several times, afraid she had suffered any grievances.

Ning Rongrong then noticed Ning Fengzhi behind Bone Douluo.

"Ah! Dad, why are you here too!"
