Blue Sunshine Academy

"Alright, we can get to know this young lady later," Tang San said, trying to smooth things over.

"Yeah, eating comes first. This place may not be big, but it seems to have everything. Hopefully the food tastes good." Ma Hongjun rubbed his stomach. "We've been traveling all day. I'm starving. Those rations were awful."

The eight of them sat around one table, and the atmosphere could only be described as strange.

Zhu Zhuqing wore a cold expression, while Ning Rongrong had a mischievous grin as though she wanted things to get even bigger. Dai Mubai was both angry and utterly confused. Only Oscar, Xiao Wu, and Ma Hongjun, the three carefree ones, were still looking forward to the upcoming meal.

Tang San exchanged a glance with Xia Tianling and silently lit a candle for Dai Mubai.

He knew that whenever Brother Ling made such a move, it meant he had briefly glimpsed a corner of the future and was ready to set someone up.

But he had only just met Dai Mubai, and their first impression of each other had even been rather poor, so naturally, he had no intention of warning him.

The restaurant was already sixty or seventy percent full.

At that moment, a group suddenly entered from outside. Like them, there were eight people in the group.

Leading them was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. He was fairly handsome, with meticulously slicked-back hair. His white Soul Master Robe was exquisitely tailored, embroidered with patterns in silver thread that shimmered as he moved.

Behind the middle-aged man followed seven youths, six men and one woman, all appearing to be around twenty years old. They wore the same pale moon-white Soul Master Robes, though without the silver-thread embroidery of the man at the front.

Yet whether it was the middle-aged man or the seven youths behind him, each had a green circular emblem on their left shoulder, with two characters embroidered in the same color inside the circle—Blue Sunshine.

They were here, they were here—the familiar Blue Sunshine Academy was walking toward them!

The Blue Sunshine Academy group dressed ostentatiously. The restaurant owner hurried over to greet them the moment he saw them enter, bowing and scraping with excessive politeness.

"Brother Ling, that girl's really pretty," the fatty murmured after sneaking a glance, speaking quietly to Xia Tianling beside him.

Xia Tianling secretly glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside him. "Not bad. You didn't spend six years learning from me for nothing. You already know how to respect others."

Men being lustful was perfectly normal. Could a man who was not lustful still be called a man?

He had never forbidden the fatty's lecherous nature. Even he himself was a seasoned pervert.

But there was one thing: one had to learn to respect others, especially women. It was fine to keep certain thoughts to oneself, but one absolutely could not truly act on them. Making reckless comments about a woman's appearance right to her face, like in the Original Work, was extremely rude.

Dai Mubai, seated at the same table, naturally heard Ma Hongjun's quiet muttering. He curled his lip disdainfully. "It's just some insignificant Blue Sunshine Academy. What the hell are they showing off for?"

"With looks like that, she's merely average. Come find me another day, and I'll take you to find someone better." At this moment, his playboy nature was on full display.

"Shameless and vulgar!" Zhu Zhuqing's face darkened further.

Oscar hurriedly tried to persuade her from the side. "Sister Zhuqing, don't be angry, don't be angry. The fatty won't actually go after her. He may be a little lustful, but he keeps himself clean."

Ma Hongjun answered pitifully as well, "Yeah, I only talk about it. I may have the lecherous heart, but I don't have the guts."

Ning Rongrong, who had been watching the show for half the day, feared the world was not chaotic enough. "Not a single man is any good!"

"Nonsense! My Third Brother is great!" Xiao Wu immediately retorted.

Tianling seems pretty good too, Zhu Zhuqing silently added in her heart.

While everyone was noisily arguing, the middle-aged man from Blue Sunshine Academy cast his gaze over and frowned.

Dai Mubai had not lowered his voice at all just now, and the people from Blue Sunshine Academy had heard every word clearly.

"Young Master Dai, isn't it inappropriate for you to publicly comment on others like that?" Xia Tianling spoke calmly.

"So what?" Dai Mubai glanced sideways at the Blue Sunshine Academy group that had already taken their seats nearby. "The dean taught me that a Soul Master who doesn't dare cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master. As they say, those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities. Besides, provoking people from a Soul Master Academy is the safest. At worst, it's just a fight."

"What kind of bullshit logic is that? Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities? Utterly absurd." Xia Tianling crossed his arms and sneered. "You call this causing trouble? Isn't this just bullying the weak? If you've got the guts, provoke a Titled Douluo for me to see. Forget you—even your dean, would he dare seek trouble in front of a Titled Douluo? Last time, you provoked me. Are you still not convinced after I beat you up?"

Dai Mubai instantly lost his temper. All the words he had prepared to retort got stuck in his throat.

He had indeed caused trouble last time, only to kick an iron plate right in front of him. He truly could not beat Xia Tianling.

Over there, the Blue Sunshine Academy teacher whispered a few words into one youth's ear. Soon, that youth rose from his seat and walked toward Tang San's table. Judging by his path, he was heading directly for Dai Mubai.

A trace of disdain appeared in Dai Mubai's evil eyes. He might have suffered at Xia Tianling's hands, but that did not mean he would spare so much as a glance for this bunch of weaklings from Blue Sunshine Academy.

The youth pretended to pass by Dai Mubai as though nothing was wrong, but his leg suddenly swept out, kicking directly at one of the chair legs beneath Dai Mubai.

It was only an ordinary wooden chair. If one leg broke, Dai Mubai naturally would not be able to remain seated steadily.

The instant the youth struck, Dai Mubai moved.

He had previously been beaten up by Xia Tianling, then received a round of Zhu Zhuqing's "unprovoked" ridicule. Just now, he had also been left speechless by Xia Tianling. All of that had already filled him with pent-up fury.

Now that someone had provoked him, they had walked straight into the line of fire.

With a muffled bang, the Blue Sunshine Academy youth felt as though he had kicked an iron plate. His calf went numb from the shock.

Immediately afterward, Dai Mubai's palm came down on him.

The youth tried to block it, but with Dai Mubai attacking while he was unprepared, and with his Soul Power inferior to Dai Mubai's, he was struck solidly in the chest.

His body arched backward as he was sent flying like a weightless scarecrow. He crashed through two tables in succession before flying toward the Blue Sunshine Academy group.

The Blue Sunshine Academy teacher hurriedly rose, raised both hands, and caught the youth by the shoulders. The youth's face turned pale, and with a wah, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body became far more listless.

Dai Mubai steadied himself, then used the motion of his earlier strike to stretch lazily. "I'm really sorry. My hand slipped." The Evil-Eyed White Tiger's true colors were on full display, his face brimming with disdain and arrogance. Not only the people of Blue Sunshine Academy—even Xia Tianling felt like punching him when he saw that expression.

"Young Master Dai, wasn't that excessive? Even if that kick had landed, with your strength, you would at most have stumbled. It wouldn't even have counted as embarrassing yourself. Yet you directly beat him until he vomited blood. That was far too heavy-handed." Xia Tianling's face was expressionless as he stared coldly at Dai Mubai. "Besides, you were the one who started this."

Dai Mubai spread his hands carelessly. "So what?"
