Shocking Nuoding Academy, Beating Up Yu Xiaogang

The next morning.

A training ground at Nuoding Academy.

"Xiao Chen, first-year student, Level 20 Assault System Soul Master, Martial Soul: God-Slaying Sword!"

"Today, I have come to seek instruction from all of you!"

With Boss Xiao running errands, Xiao Chen's request to challenge Second Ring Great Soul Masters had indeed received the headmaster's support.

The challenges were quickly arranged, and the academy headmaster himself served as referee!

"First match: Xiao Chen, a one-ring Level 20 student, versus a two-ring Level 21 teacher. Begin!"

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!

Xiao Chen raised his hand and swung his sword, striking the other man's face at astonishing speed.

Five consecutive slaps from the blade ended the match instantly.

"Xiao Chen wins this match!"

"Second match: Xiao Chen, a one-ring Level 20 student, versus a two-ring Level 22 teacher. Begin!"

Smack! Smack...

"This match—Xiao Chen wins!"

"The third match."

In every match that followed, Xiao Chen treated the God-Slaying Sword like an extension of his own hand, rewarding those who had plotted against him with one resounding slap after another.

Before long, every Second Ring Great Soul Master sent to face him had been defeated by Xiao Chen.

That included all of Nuoding Academy's two-ring guards.

With the help of all that real combat, the sharpness of the God-Slaying Sword improved somewhat as well.

Yet before Xiao Chen could continue, the entire Nuoding Academy was shaken by the results of these matches!

The headmaster even brought Xiao Chen straight to his office, showering him with concern and offering him official student status, along with every privilege reserved for specially admitted students.

He looked as though he wished he had a daughter he could marry off to Xiao Chen, letting him cling directly to such a lofty branch!

After all, with Xiao Chen's talent, he would soon catch the eye of a true great sect or powerful clan after graduation.

In a few years, if Xiao Chen returned for the academy anniversary celebration—

By then, a mere stomp of Xiao Chen's foot could make all of Nuoding City tremble three times over!

Xiao Chen accepted every benefit the headmaster offered, then hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

There was still one Second Ring Great Soul Master at Nuoding Academy whom he had not challenged.

Yu Xiaogang!

"Tang San, is your teacher in today? Xiao Wu and I have something to ask him."

With the Hat of Forgiveness, Tang San would be exceptionally tolerant of anything Xiao Chen did with a woman.

"He is."

Sure enough, although Tang San was somewhat unwilling, he answered in the end.

So what if you're strong, Xiao Chen?

Your knowledge is still limited. Once your strength reaches a bottleneck, won't you still have to ask my teacher for advice?

Most importantly, after what you did to my teacher and me yesterday, you still want to ask questions.

What a fool's dream.

In a while, I'll secretly follow them over and see just how ugly his expression gets!

Before long, Xiao Chen brought Xiao Wu to Yu Xiaogang's room.

Knock, knock.

"Come in."

Yu Xiaogang answered casually, assuming it was Tang San.

After all, this Grandmaster had no prestige at all in Nuoding Academy. No one usually paid him any attention.

Creak.

"Xiao Chen?"

Yu Xiaogang's face filled with surprise when he saw who had entered.

Why was this guy here?

Could it be that he needs my help with something...

If that's the case, I'll make things difficult for him first, then make him take me as his master!

Trying to get my help for free?

Impossible!

"Grandmaster, my Soul Power has reached Level 20. Today, I challenged many of the academy's Second Ring Great Soul Masters," Xiao Chen said as he walked directly into the room.

As for Xiao Wu, he had left her outside.

Yu Xiaogang was only so capable. This match would end very quickly.

"Not bad."

Yu Xiaogang gave a perfunctory response.

Xiao Chen paid no mind and continued.

"My current strength has already reached a bottleneck, so I need battle to improve myself."

"And since you, Grandmaster, are a Second Ring Great Soul Master..."

"Please instruct me!"

Yu Xiaogang was instantly dumbfounded when he heard that.

This Level 29 Soul Grandmaster of his was nothing but a paper tiger. If they really fought, any random two-ring gate guard could knock him flat.

And now Xiao Chen, who had defeated even those two-ring gate guards, had come looking for him?

Fuck.

This brat is picking a fight on purpose, isn't he?!

"Xiao Chen, actually, my strength..."

"I know. Your theory may be lacking, but your Soul Power is as high as Level 29. You're very strong. Come on!"

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish, Xiao Chen cut him off directly.

Then, Xiao Chen unleashed his Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, held the God-Slaying Sword Martial Soul in his hand, and charged at Yu Xiaogang.

"You, I... Come out, my Martial Soul!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen would not give him a chance to explain, Yu Xiaogang knew he could not avoid this fight today.

Though he felt utterly aggrieved, he could only summon Luo Sanpao and immediately use his First Soul Skill.

"First Soul Skill, Farting Like Thunder - Earth Shattering Luo Sanpao!"

Unfortunately, just as Luo Sanpao leaped up, preparing to fart right in Xiao Chen's face—

The First Soul Ring around Xiao Chen's body lit up.

First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon's Wrath!

In an instant, Luo Sanpao's expression turned incomparably ugly. He was subjected to a terrifying suppression, and the speed at which he unleashed his skill plummeted.

So what if he was Level 29?

Most Beast Martial Souls would suffer a massive drop in strength when facing him!

Taking advantage of that opening, Xiao Chen swung the God-Slaying Sword and thrust it straight at Luo Sanpao's butt.

"Roar!!!"

The next moment, Luo Sanpao's eyes bulged wide as he let out a shrill scream and began jumping wildly about.

In the end, he collapsed onto the ground and twitched without stop.

When Yu Xiaogang saw this, cold sweat immediately broke out across his back. His legs instinctively clamped together as he prepared to climb over the wall and jump out the window.

He would rather break his legs and end up in the infirmary than get stabbed even once by Xiao Chen!

Unfortunately, he was still too slow.

"Xiao Chen, y-you, don't come any closer!!!"

"Aah—woo! Ooh ooh ooh... Roar, roar..."

As Xiao Chen rapidly swung several more times, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened until they were round, bloodshot, and bulging. At the same time, he let out heart-wrenching screams.

His cries echoed through the entire room for a long time, until he finally lay stiffly on the ground.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Hidden Quest. You have received five consecutive draws."

"Thank you for your instruction."

Hearing that, Xiao Chen's mood immediately brightened. He gave Yu Xiaogang, who was sprawled on the floor, a slight nod, then turned and left the room.

He would return and use the five consecutive draws from the system reward, along with today's one updated draw opportunity, later.

He should not keep Xiao Wu waiting too long.

When Xiao Wu saw Xiao Chen emerge, she excitedly threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Xiao Chen, is it over? That Yu Xiaogang was so weak~"

"Mm. Let's go back and eat."

"Yay! Xiao Wu wants to eat Brother Xiao Chen's Carrot!"

"Ow."

At some point, Yu Xiaogang stood up while holding his waist, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Xiao Chen, I f*** you, bleep bleep bleep... you bleep bleep bleep..."

After venting with a satisfying torrent of curses, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly, his face dark and sinister.

"You used the excuse of challenging Nuoding Academy's Second Ring Great Soul Masters to beat me up, huh?"

"Once you get to Shrek Academy, there'll be plenty of people to teach you a lesson!"

After all, Shrek Academy's motto was:

Soul Masters who did not dare to cause trouble were not good Soul Masters!

As long as he waited for Xiao Chen to graduate, he would introduce him there.

By then, Xiao Chen, being younger and having a lower Soul Power Level, would definitely get beaten up by the group because of his thorny personality!

"But how did Xiao Chen know I was in my room? Damn it, which bastard set me up? I'm irreconcilable with you!"

"..."
