Beat Up the Old One, and an Even Older One Came

"Luochuan."

"Did you leave that side to Wulin?"

Looking at Tang Luochuan as he walked over to her, Gu Yue wore a faint smile as she asked softly.

"Wulin's Martial Soul suppresses him far too much. It's not like you couldn't tell... Even with a one-ring gap, beating him up was no different from farming an experience dummy."

Tang Luochuan shook his head and said calmly.

Guang Long? Just an experience pack.

"An experience dummy? You're really something."

Hearing that description, Gu Yue immediately laughed. Who called their enemies that?

"Yeah, but running into an experience pack like this really ruined our good mood for coming out."

Tang Luochuan wore a helpless expression. He only knew there was such a little character in the Original Work, but who could have expected him to appear so vividly so soon?

When hitting Guang Long those few times, he even had to watch his strength in case he accidentally killed the guy...

"Hm? Was your mood good to begin with?"

Gu Yue blinked and suddenly asked.

"Yeah."

"But why did you suddenly ask that?"

Tang Luochuan nodded without hesitation before asking.

"Just asking. So going for a walk with me makes you happy too."

Listening to Tang Luochuan's words, Gu Yue raised her head and looked in his direction, a sweet smile on her face.

This little Tang Luochuan...

Really was quite nice.

"Did you just say..."

"Too?"

"No, you misheard."

"Oh~ So I misheard~"

"Huh? If you keep doing that, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

"..."

"Do you know what you did wrong now?"

Not long afterward, Tang Wulin withdrew his hammer and looked coldly at the bruised and battered Guang Long before him.

"I do."

Guang Long swallowed, rubbed the huge swollen lump on his head, and nodded rapidly like a pecking chicken.

If anyone ever told him children were easy to bully again... he would be the first to disagree!

"Apologize to Uncle Li!"

"I'm sorry..."

"Didn't you eat enough? Louder."

"I'm sorry—"

At that moment, Guang Long wanted to cry but had no tears. For the first time, he understood what it felt like to be at someone else's mercy. There was only one thought in his heart:

"Brother—"

"..."

"N-no problem."

Meanwhile, Uncle Li and the other shop owners were so shocked that they could not say a word. Even though Guang Long was apologizing to them, they did not dare accept it!

But they truly had not expected it...

These children could actually defeat Guang Long!

"Can I leave now...?"

Guang Long asked, on the verge of tears.

"You can."

"But if we see you collecting protection fees and bullying people here again..."

"I'll pull you aside and have a proper talk about reason with you."

Tang Wulin looked at him and said seriously.

"..."

Guang Long fled in disgrace. However, Xie Xie and the others watching this scene laughed loudly, especially Xie Xie.

Served him right for bullying Uncle Li!

He deserved it!

"Thank you, little friends."

"But you really shouldn't have beaten him up so badly. That man has a terrible temper. Even if you're children..."

"He'll still come looking for trouble with you."

After Guang Long left, Uncle Li looked at the children before him with worry on his face. Would they really be all right?

"It's fine, Uncle Li. We're not afraid of him."

"Compared to that..."

"Where's our Stewed Beef Pot?"

Xie Xie shook his head and asked with a smile.

"Oh!"

"I'll make you a fresh one right away—"

Uncle Li immediately slapped his forehead and said with a smile.

"Eastsea Academy uniforms..."

"Students of Eastsea Academy, huh? I'll make you pay the price..."

At a hidden corner in the alley, Guang Long viciously clenched the fist he could no longer raise. Looking at Tang Luochuan and the others happily eating, his eyes were filled with coldness.

He recognized the Eastsea Academy uniforms!

Then, he took out a Soul Guide Camera and clearly photographed every student's face.

He would definitely demand an explanation from the school!

Early the next morning.

"Teacher Wu, this is bad, Teacher Wu."

"Something huge has happened."

Looking as though disaster had struck, Long Xuheng rushed into the Class 1, First Year classroom, panic written all over his face.

"..."

Seeing this, Tang Luochuan and the others appeared thoughtful. Tang Wulin in particular had a contemplative look in his eyes.

His brother had said yesterday that guy would come looking for trouble. He had not expected it to happen so quickly, but...

If he came, wouldn't he just get beaten up by him again?

At that age, Teacher Wu could beat him up with no problem too!

"Director Long, haven't I said before..."

"Don't come in and disrupt me while I'm teaching."

Wu Changkong stopped writing on the blackboard, turned around, and glanced at him.

"Go on. What is it..."

"Outside—outside the academy, a group of White Mechas came, and there are even Yellow Mechas. The person leading them is Guang Biao!"

"The captain of the East Sea City Mecha Brigade, Guang Biao!"

Long Xuheng was so breathless that he could barely get the words out, his eyes filled with panic.

"Guang Biao?"

"What is a Mecha Master doing at the academy?"

Wu Changkong looked puzzled.

"What does that have to do with me?"

What did such matters have to do with the academy? And even if they did concern the academy...

What did they have to do with him teaching this class?

If Eastsea Academy really got into trouble one day, there was no need to worry. He would definitely go teach at another academy.

"No, it's a huge problem!"

"He brought banners to the academy gate saying, 'Pay your debts, pay with your lives for injuries'..."

"And the photos in his hand are of..."

"Tang Luochuan, Gu Yue, Wang Jinxi, Zhang Yangzi, Wei Xiaofeng, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin!"

Long Xuheng took out the photograph. Every person's appearance was clearly visible on it. In one corner of the photo, there were even two passersby still lying on the ground without anyone helping them up.

"..."

"Huh?"

"You went out for a trip and beat someone up?"

Wu Changkong looked thoughtful as his gaze turned toward Tang Luochuan and the others. He could not help asking.

Something like this had actually happened.

"Teacher Wu."

"That man was bullying the uncle selling food and trying to collect protection fees, so we beat him up..."

"But we didn't expect him to be so weak."

"He's already over thirty, yet he couldn't even beat us children. And he had the nerve to collect protection fees!"

Xie Xie said helplessly.

"Hahahahaha."

Hearing this, Wu Changkong laughed.

"So..."

"You beat up an old one, and now an even older one has come to back him up?"

"Come on. Let me see what's going on."

Wu Changkong had a smile on his face, but there was a sharp glint in his eyes. They had come looking for trouble with his students and even wanted an explanation...

It had been a long time since he had encountered something like this.

His teacher had once told him not to provoke others, but if others had nothing better to do than come pick a fight...

Then he would have to draw his sword properly.

"A Soul Emperor, and a Mecha Master."

"It's been so long since I last made a move. Now even some Soul Emperor who popped out of nowhere dares to come looking for trouble with me..."
