A Father Hired People to Beat His Own Son?!

In the blink of an eye, another day passed. The moment Lin Hao returned to the dormitory, he saw Wang Sheng lying there, bruised and battered.

"Wang Sheng, who beat you up?"

Lin Hao was a little confused. Bu Xing and the other four had already been taken out for practical combat training by Li Si and two other teachers. How had Wang Sheng gotten beaten up again?

Seeing Lin Hao, Wang Sheng gave a bitter smile and said,

"Who else could it be? Xiao Chenyu's bunch. Since Bu Xing was taken out by Teacher Li for practical combat training,

Xiao Wu-jie led us to beat up Xiao Chenyu's group. They couldn't accept it, so while Xiao Wu-jie was away, they ambushed me.

It's good you're back, Hao-ge. Xiao Wu-jie took the others from the dormitory to find Xiao Chenyu. Hurry and help her!"

"I see. I'll go take a look!"

Before the words had even faded, Lin Hao headed straight for the Academy Grove. He hadn't expected Xiao Chenyu to understand the tactic of picking them off one by one.

Notting City was a chaotic mix of all sorts right now. Xiao Wu, a Soul Beast, couldn't be running around everywhere.

After all, Tang Hao definitely knew that Xiao Wu was a transformed Soul Beast. The reason he hadn't acted before was most likely because he wanted to save Xiao Wu for Tang San.

But now that Long Xiaoyao had appeared in Notting City, if Tang Hao spread the news, Xiao Wu would be in danger.

Lin Hao wasn't worried about Xiao Wu's safety. Like Tang Hao, he viewed Xiao Wu as a reserve Soul Ring.

Besides, if he built a good relationship with Xiao Wu, there was a chance he could take down Da Ming and Er Ming in the future as well.

That would mean his last three Soul Rings were practically prepared already. He had to take this seriously!

So Xiao Wu's identity absolutely couldn't be exposed for now. After thinking it over, Lin Hao decided that before going to Heaven Dou City, he would lay everything out with Xiao Wu and dump all the blame on Tang Hao!

When Lin Hao reached the vicinity of the grove, he discovered that the two sides hadn't started fighting.

Instead, they were watching a show, and the ones being watched were unexpectedly Tang San and Bu Xing's group of five!

The sight left Lin Hao momentarily unable to process it. Why was Tang San here?

And hadn't Tang Hao found Bu Xing and the other five? Why were they fighting Tang San? A father hired people to beat his own son?!

However, seeing that Xiao Wu's group wasn't at a disadvantage, Lin Hao didn't show himself. After all, Bu Xing's group of five all wanted to beat him up.

He was alone right now. Even if he was confident he could win, it would still be a hard-fought victory. There was no way he was going out there!

A gentleman did not stand beneath a crumbling wall. Knowing he would suffer a huge loss with no benefit whatsoever, charging in was something only an idiot would do!

"Making the academy look bad, affecting our assessment, loving sneak attacks, running that filthy mouth!"

Bu Xing and the others didn't have impressive Martial Souls—Wooden Stick, Iron Shovel, vine whips, and the like—and their First Soul Rings were only ten-year ones.

But there were five of them! Attacking together, they beat Tang San until he was running around with his head in his hands!

Tang San possessed Tang Sect techniques such as Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Under normal circumstances, he could have handled one against five.

But the injuries Lin Hao had given him earlier hadn't healed yet. In particular, the Tyrant Gold Bear King Claw had pierced four holes through his right hand, greatly reducing his combat strength.

And with Xiao Wu, Xiao Chenyu, and the others watching nearby, Tang San couldn't use hidden weapons either. His offensive power was terribly weak!

"I'm really angry now! Is it because I never lose my temper that you all think I'm an idiot you can bully?!"

Several more wounds appeared on Tang San's body. Unable to endure any longer, he roared with bloodshot eyes.

Before he finished speaking, he charged directly at Bu Xing. He ignored the attacks of the other four and simply took them head-on!

He knew they wouldn't dare strike too heavily, but Tang San himself dared to. Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he appeared before Bu Xing.

Catching him off guard, he kicked at Bu Xing's legs and knocked him down, then straddled him directly.

"Don't you like fighting? Fight, then! Fight!"

Soul Power surged through his hands as punch after punch slammed into Bu Xing. The viciousness of his attacks frightened the other four stiff!

"Tang San, let Bu Xing go!"

"That's right! We were only sparring, yet you're being this vicious. Let Bu Xing go!"

"Sparring my ass! What kind of sparring is five against one? Let me tell you, whoever dares bully me—even if I die, I'll tear a chunk of flesh off you!"

Tang San threw another punch, knocking Bu Xing unconscious on the spot. But he didn't stop, raining several more punches down on him.

Then he slowly rose to his feet. His hands were covered in blood as he stared fixedly at the other four and said slowly,

"Who's next? You, or you!!!"

Before his words had even faded, Tang San suddenly burst forward, appearing before one of them and throwing a punch at his head.

The blow sent him staggering. Tang San pressed his advantage and began another frenzied assault.

"Come on! Come on, then! Why are you running? Hit me!"

His madness completely stunned the others. Trembling, they spat out a threat:

"We'll let you off this time. From now on, answer when we ask you something. Stop running your mouth, or we'll beat you up every time we see you!"

Then they hurriedly stepped forward to rescue the one Tang San had attacked, carried Bu Xing away, and fled in disgrace!

"What about you? Do you want to bully me too?"

Covered in injuries, Tang San glanced at Xiao Wu, then at Xiao Chenyu, and asked coldly.

"Of course not. We came here for a fight. You and Bu Xing's group of five were the ones occupying our territory!"

Though Xiao Chenyu was somewhat frightened by Tang San's ruthlessness, he wasn't intimidated. Lin Hao was like this too!

And Lin Hao was even more ruthless than Tang San was right now. Otherwise, why would a Soul Master like him fear Lin Hao?

"Yeah, Tang San, you're bleeding everywhere. Hurry up and get yourself checked out at the Infirmary!"

Xiao Wu and the others echoed him. Though they despised Tang San's various actions, they had no intention of kicking him while he was down.

"It'd better be!"

Leaving those words behind, Tang San limped toward the Infirmary. What had happened today truly was a disaster out of nowhere!

While he had been cleaning, Bu Xing and the other four had come to ask whether he wanted to join them in causing trouble for Lin Hao!

After Yu Xiaogang's warning, Tang San knew he couldn't contend with Lin Hao right now, so he hadn't planned to take part.

But Bu Xing had a filthy mouth. He said Tang San had chickened out and even cursed him for repaying kindness with ingratitude.

Tang San couldn't hold back and snapped back a few times. Then what was happening now had followed!

Still, it wasn't as though Tang San had gained nothing from this!

Once word of this got out, there probably wouldn't be every Tom, Dick, and Harry coming to cause trouble for him anymore. That would spare him plenty of hassle!

"Looks like I missed a good show. What a pity, what a pity!"

How could Lin Hao let Tang San feel so pleased with himself? He stepped out directly, making Tang San's face darken as he hastened his departure.

"Lin Hao, didn't you go out with the Soul Hunting Squad to hunt Soul Beasts?"

The moment Xiao Chenyu saw Lin Hao, he nearly jumped up. He was just like Bu Xing had been moments ago.

More importantly, he had gone through that situation more than once and had been beaten badly every time!

"Hehe, use your brain. Bu Xing is already back, so how could I possibly not be back?"

Lin Hao nodded to Xiao Wu, then looked at Xiao Chenyu and said,

"You actually broke the rules and ganged up on Wang Sheng. I'll remember this!"
