Teacher, You're So Annoying

The moment Ye Feiyang activated his Martial Soul Avatar, all his attributes surged severalfold!

At that moment, he was like a god descending upon the mortal world, gazing down arrogantly at Tang Hao.

With every movement of his hands and feet, fierce sword qi crisscrossed through the air and swept toward Tang Hao.

Tang Hao had long since lost his initial composure. His already tattered clothes became even more ragged, leaving him in an utterly miserable state.

No matter what, he had never expected things to end this way.

He finally smashed through the domain by force. Enduring the agonizing pain, he frantically swung his iron hammer. His moves appeared chaotic, but he was secretly gathering strength.

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

Ye Feiyang raised an eyebrow slightly and unleashed Law Severing Strike once more. He said coldly, "Old bastard, today I'll let you properly experience what it means to stop at the last inch!"

Tang Hao, who had been gathering power, felt his Soul Power stagnate once again. The process of stacking his strength was interrupted yet again, and a sweetness rose in his throat before he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes widened in shock as he stared fixedly at Ye Feiyang as though looking at a monster.

His tightly clenched teeth and trembling body all spoke of the towering fury within him.

He truly could not understand why that sword qi was so fast and so precise. He clearly wanted to dodge, yet his body could not react in time. Defense was out of the question.

By this point in the battle, he had not even managed to get within half a step of Ye Feiyang, while his own body had already suffered numerous wounds. Blood soaked through his clothes, making him look utterly wretched.

He raised his iron hammer with both hands and roared toward the sky.

"Eighth soul ring, explode for me!"

Driven into a corner, Tang Hao finally used the core secret of the Great Sumeru Hammer—Ring Detonation!

His strength surged severalfold in an instant. He swung his massive hammer straight at Ye Feiyang's face, only for Ye Feiyang to effortlessly evade it with an incomparably strange movement technique.

This powerful strike was like hitting cotton, finding no point of force at all. Tang Hao nearly lost control of the surging Soul Power within his body.

"Ah—where the hell did you learn such a wicked movement technique?"

He was truly panicking. He had never fought such a frustrating battle before, with all his fury having nowhere to go.

Ye Feiyang did not forget to deliberately disrupt his mindset either, teasing him in a mocking tone.

"You want to learn it? Call me Daddy... then I'll teach you. How about it?"

It had to be said that he was indeed exceptionally skilled at pissing people off.

Tang Hao was driven nearly insane by those words. Completely disregarding his injuries, he launched another fierce attack.

He did not want anything now except to hit Ye Feiyang just once.

As long as he could land one hit, even if Ye Feiyang did not die, he would be crippled for life.

Unfortunately, Ye Feiyang was not an idiot. How could he possibly give Tang Hao such an opportunity?

Just imagining himself, the dignified Clear Sky Douluo, being forced into such a state by a Soul Saint—if word got out, where would he put his pride?

His pressure was useless, his domain had been suppressed, his soul skills were repeatedly interrupted, and his opponent moved as fast as a ghost...

This nearly shameless fighting style was enough to drive anyone into complete despair.

He could not hit him. He simply could not hit him.

For close-combat soul masters like them, this situation was incredibly difficult to deal with.

What was more, Ye Feiyang's attacks were exceptionally sharp, capable of piercing through defenses and striking the body directly.

Ye Feiyang dodged while taunting him. "Old bastard, you don't have any money, yet you still dare come looking for trouble with me? Since you can't pay up, leave one of your legs behind..."

He was not joking. He genuinely intended to remove one of Tang Hao's legs.

That way, Tang Hao would not keep hopping around in front of him and irritating him in the future.

Tang Hao's mentality was indeed on the verge of collapse. Unease quietly rose within him as well. If this continued, he would definitely lose in a humiliating defeat.

He subconsciously glanced at his right leg, and an icy chill instantly shot up his spine.

He had even detonated a soul ring, yet he still could not defeat his opponent. How was he supposed to continue this fight?

"Kid, I admit that you're very strong, but don't get too pleased with yourself. I'll be back!"

Tang Hao had already begun to think of retreating, preparing to seize the chance to escape.

Seeing that he wanted to flee, how could Ye Feiyang possibly let him slip away so easily?

"Trying to run? I already told you, don't even think about leaving without paying! Leave your leg behind before you go..."

Ye Feiyang shouted furiously. His soul skills seemed to consume no Soul Power at all as they continuously harassed Tang Hao, who was trying to escape.

However, Tang Hao now had only one thought: fleeing. The speed advantage of a Titled Douluo in flight was displayed to the fullest at this moment.

Although Ye Feiyang's movement technique was exquisite, he could not remain in the air for long. In the end, he was still unable to catch Tang Hao.

"You dog! You spineless coward! Just wait for me! I said you'd pay the price!"

Ye Feiyang cursed loudly at Tang Hao's retreating figure. "Damn it, making me come all this way for nothing! Next time we meet, I'm cutting off your right leg no matter what! Fuck!"

Still grumbling curses, he turned around and returned to Supreme Academy.

This chase had lasted more than two hours from beginning to end.

When he returned to the small courtyard at the academy, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were both waiting for him there, their faces full of concern.

"Huh? Why aren't you two asleep? What are you standing around here for?"

Ye Feiyang asked irritably, "Want extra training? Fine. A thousand squats each. Don't even think about sleeping until you finish them!"

Not only had he made the trip for nothing, he had also lost a sum of "potential income." In his view, failing to earn money was the same as losing money, so he was in a terrible mood.

Ning Rongrong quickly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Teacher, what did you go out to do so late at night?"

Zhu Zhuqing looked Ye Feiyang up and down before saying, "Teacher, did you get into another fight?"

Those words instantly enlightened Ning Rongrong.

She had thought that since her teacher had not returned late at night, he had secretly gone to meet that receptionist girl...

"Oh? So Teacher went out to fight, not to have that kind of fight!" Her tone immediately became somewhat strange.

Being examined by the two girls made much of Ye Feiyang's irritation dissipate.

But his mouth remained unforgiving. "Don't mention it. I lost money, so how could I be in a good mood?"

Hearing that, Ning Rongrong could not help letting out a snort of laughter.

Ye Feiyang irritably raised his hand and lightly smacked the back of her head. "What are you laughing at? You talk too much! A thousand squats, starting now! Immediately! Zhu Qing, watch her do them! Daring to laugh at your teacher means you need to be properly punished!"

With that, he huffed and turned around, returning to his own room.

The two girls exchanged glances and could not help smiling before they began doing squats.

"Rong Rong."

While doing squats, Zhu Zhuqing said softly, "Don't casually make fun of Teacher in the future. Teacher may be strong, but he's actually still young and cares a lot about his pride."

Hearing that made Ning Rongrong want to laugh even more. She held back her laughter and replied, "Mm-hmm, I know~ Zhu Qing, do you know when Teacher's birthday is? I want to give him a whole chest of Gold Coins and make him happy."

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head with a helpless bitter smile. Only Ning Rongrong could come up with such an idea.

In truth, she knew absolutely nothing about Ye Feiyang's past.

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

In Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Teacher's fondness for Gold Coins might not simply be a hobby. More likely, Gold Coins gave him a sense of security. Perhaps he had truly been terrified by poverty.

People with delicate minds could always accurately notice the thoughts buried deep within others' hearts.

A thousand squats were not difficult for them now.

The two of them finished easily, then each returned to her room to rest.

Under the night sky, the little courtyard returned to its usual tranquility.

Early the next morning, when the sky had only just begun to brighten, Ye Feiyang was already awake.

The more he thought about it the previous night, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the less he could sleep.

After thinking it over, he felt that even if he really stole Tang San's belt, it would not make up for the mental losses Tang Hao had caused him yesterday.

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

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

He was going to raid Tang San's old home and destroy the place where he had been born.

This could kill two birds with one stone. Not only would it make Tang San miserable, but it could also force Tang Hao to come looking for him.

Otherwise, if a Titled Douluo was determined to hide, where could he possibly go to demand money from him?

"Zhu Qing, Rong Rong..."

He gathered his two disciples and bluntly said, "I'll leave the academy in your care. Your teacher is going out for a few days."

Ning Rongrong immediately stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, acting spoiled. "Teacher, where are you going? Take me with you! Please take me with you! I'll cover all the expenses along the way!"

Expectation also appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

But when she saw Ye Feiyang's unusually serious expression, the words at her lips were swallowed back. She only asked softly, "Teacher, how long will you be gone this time?"

Even facing the temptation of Gold Coins, Ye Feiyang firmly refused this time.

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

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

Ever since they had met, they had never been separated for such a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing did not know what Ye Feiyang was going to do, and an involuntary sense of reluctance rose in her heart. She asked worriedly, "Then there won't be any danger on this trip, right?"

Ye Feiyang raised his chin and said with complete confidence, "With your teacher's strength, who do you think could possibly put me in danger?"

Danger? It simply did not exist for him.

Zhu Zhuqing felt that Teacher was boasting, but she had no proof to refute him.

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

Ning Rongrong began acting shamelessly. "If you don't take me, then I, I, I..."

She stammered for a long time, yet could not think of any way to threaten Teacher.

She suddenly realized that apart from loving money, Ye Feiyang was practically flawless.

And now, it seemed that she could not leave Teacher, rather than Teacher being unable to leave her.

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

Ning Rongrong ran back to her room crying angrily.

Back when she was at home, as long as she shed a couple of tears, what could she not get done?

Why did that trick stop working with Teacher?

Ye Feiyang was actually quite helpless too.

This time, he was going to do something bad. Could stealing someone else's things be considered honorable?

Such shady business was not suitable for two "pure" young girls to take part in. What if he led them astray?

"Zhu Qing, keep an eye on Rong Rong. Don't let her cause trouble."

"Don't worry, Teacher. I'll keep an eye on her." Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly and nodded in agreement.

After explaining everything, Ye Feiyang moved and swept out of the academy like a gust of wind.

He hurried along the road at top speed, asking passersby for directions as he traveled.

At his pace, it took him only one day to successfully reach the legendary Holy Soul Village.

He wandered around the village and even saw Village Chief Old Jack, who had personally sent the God King, Tang San, off to school.

But Holy Soul Village did not appear to be anything special.

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

He muttered softly to himself as he successfully found the blacksmith shop that belonged to Tang San's family.

He had originally thought he might run into Tang Hao here and wait for him like a hare by a tree stump.

However, things did not go as planned. The blacksmith shop was empty, and weeds had grown thick both in front of and behind the house.

Clearly, no one had returned for a very long time.

But that did not matter. His primary goal this time was not Tang Hao, but taking Ah Yin away!

This was the method he had settled on after thinking all night.

The troublesome part was that he did not know exactly where Ah Yin had been planted.

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

Then Ah Yin was most likely hidden in Holy Soul Village, though it was also possible that she was somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"This is a little difficult..." Ye Feiyang scratched his head, feeling troubled.

But since he had already come all this way, he could not return empty-handed.

He had yet to master any special detection method, so he could only rely on his own Soul Power perception to carefully search every blade of Lan Yin Grass and check whether it carried any Soul Power fluctuations.

Thus, the villagers of Holy Soul Village saw a strange outsider that day. His behavior was odd as he wandered around the village, paying particular attention to places where Lan Yin Grass grew and occasionally talking to clumps of grass.

"Strange. The village is only this big. Where could Ah Yin be hiding?"

"With Tang Hao's personality, he definitely wouldn't plant Ah Yin too far away. That way, it would be convenient for him to gaze at the grass and think of her..."

Thinking of this, Ye Feiyang centered his search around Tang San's blacksmith shop and began another thorough search.

Finally, at the foot of the mountain behind the blacksmith shop, at the end of a stream and behind the curtain of a waterfall, he discovered an extremely well-hidden cave.

Of course, plants could not be grown inside a cave, since they needed sunlight for photosynthesis.

What he had truly discovered was a stalk of Lan Yin Grass beside the cave entrance. It seemed to have grown there casually, yet the weeds around it had been carefully cleared away.

There was plenty of water and sunlight in this spot, yet only this single stalk of Lan Yin Grass grew there. That was clearly unusual.

There was another point as well: from this location, Tang San's home could be seen in the distance, and the reverse was also true.

With a soul master's eyesight, one could clearly see this stalk of Lan Yin Grass from Tang San's home at this distance.

This could not possibly be a coincidence.

The moment Ye Feiyang drew a little closer, he sensed an extremely faint fluctuation of Soul Power from this stalk of Lan Yin Grass.

Delight rose in his heart. It seemed this stalk of Lan Yin Grass was Ah Yin.

He slowly approached, intending to test her, and thus began his "performance."

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

"He's incredibly impressive now. He's the majestic Clear Sky Douluo, spending every day surrounded by women and flaunting that hundred-thousand-year soul ring he knows not where he swindled from. Tsk, tsk, what an imposing sight. He's actually using a hundred-thousand-year soul ring to pick up women!"

He deliberately fabricated these words to disturb her emotions.

What? You don't believe me? Then refute me yourself!

At first, the Lan Yin Grass beneath his feet showed no reaction at all.

But as he became more and more outrageous, Ye Feiyang suddenly felt a blade of grass lightly brush against his ankle.

Though there was a breeze at the time, that sensation was absolutely not natural!

Ye Feiyang grinned, finally revealing his true intentions. "Did you think I wouldn't recognize you just because you were playing dead? Let me tell you, your son Tang San is already dead! I came specifically to take you to see him one last time!"

Those words struck like thunder from a clear sky. That clump of Lan Yin Grass could no longer maintain its disguise. Its blades began to sway wildly, even wrapping themselves around Ye Feiyang's ankle with a force filled with both grief and fury, as though questioning him—and perhaps begging him.

"Hehe, now you can't get away!"

Ye Feiyang laughed smugly and took out a flowerpot he had prepared long ago from his Storage Soul Tool. "Everything I said just now was a lie. I didn't expect you to be so easy to trick. But now, you can't run away."

As he transplanted the Lan Yin Grass into the flowerpot, he muttered, "Your ex-husband Tang Hao is far too troublesome. I'm afraid he might resort to underhanded tricks later, so I'm using you as a protective charm. That's reasonable, right?"

"Well, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as agreement."

After successfully transplanting Ah Yin into the flowerpot, Ye Feiyang was in excellent spirits. Just as he was about to head back, he felt as though he had forgotten something.

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

Filled with anticipation, he entered the cave and began rummaging through it...

Before long, he found a box that faintly emitted fluctuations of Soul Power.

"Hahaha~~ Ah Yin, this should be your soul bone, right? Since you don't live here anymore, I'll help you keep this soul bone safe for now."

"Well, since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as agreement."

After packing everything up, he headed straight out of the cave, happier than he could say.

Ah Yin was actually extremely weak right now and simply could not endure such rough treatment. The entire clump of Lan Yin Grass now looked wilted and lifeless...

Just as Ye Feiyang successfully "stole the grass and stole the bone," Supreme Academy received two unexpected visitors.

One was a refined, dignified middle-aged man. The other was tall and completely encased in a set of pitch-black, heavy armor. His aura was steady and condensed, inspiring awe at first sight.

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

The two of them now stood before the gates of Supreme Academy, both surprised as they looked at the somewhat dilapidated little courtyard before them.

"This is the Supreme Academy Rong Rong mentioned?" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, unable to believe it.

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

It was not that Ning Fengzhi doubted Gu Rong's judgment. He simply felt that the academy's environment was far too poor and utterly unworthy of his daughter's status.

He raised his hand, suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart as best he could, and gently knocked on the courtyard gate.

The two girls practicing yoga in the courtyard were both startled by the knocking.

Tilting her head, Ning Rongrong asked in confusion, "Is Teacher back already?"

"Probably not so soon..."

Zhu Zhuqing was comparatively calmer. "Teacher said earlier that it would take at least two or three days before he returned."

Ning Rongrong could not be bothered to guess. She would know who it was as soon as she opened the door.

She ran over eagerly to open it.

The moment the door opened, her vision suddenly went dark.

That was right—she had run straight into a patch of gleaming black armor—Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"Bone Grandfather?"

Ning Rongrong cried out in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Seeing her drenched in sweat with her hair in disarray, Bone Douluo's heart immediately ached for her. "Rong Rong! How did you end up like this? Did someone bully you? Tell Bone Grandfather quickly—I'll teach them a lesson for you!"

"No, Bone Grandfather!"

Ning Rongrong hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "I was training! How did you find this place?"

Ning Fengzhi gave a light cough from the side and stepped out from behind Gu Rong.

He appeared very calm on the surface, but his gaze had already swept over his daughter several times, afraid that she had suffered some grievance.

Only then did Ning Rongrong notice Ning Fengzhi behind Bone Douluo.

"Ah! Dad, why did you come too?"
