Noble Academy

Luo Rongdou's face twisted in pain. He could faintly feel blood flowing from his mouth, and several of his teeth seemed to have loosened.

Bang—

Before he could react, Li Xun drove another kick straight into his ribs.

Luo Rongdou was sent flying four or five meters by the heavy kick, smashing through several desks and chairs before finally coming to a stop.

"You still haven't answered me. You know who we are, don't you?" Li Xun said blandly as he looked at Luo Rongdou playing dead on the ground.

"We were just joking with you two. Don't you think you've gone a little too far?" Ge Rong's face darkened as he hurried forward to stop Li Xun from pursuing him further.

Li Xun glanced at him. "Joking? I'm just joking with you now too."

"Kid, aren't you getting a little too arrogant? Luo Rongdou only got knocked down because he didn't use a spirit ability."

"You think I'll be like him?"

Ge Rong sneered, his eyes fixed on Li Xun. Then he summoned his Martial Soul, and a yellow spirit ring slowly rose around him. "I'm level nineteen, an assault-type Battle Soul Master!"

"You're only at this level at your age, and you're proud of it?" Li Xun sized Ge Rong up from head to toe.

As the grandson of Empire Marshal Ge Long, Ge Rong had never been looked at like that before.

His blood rushed to his head at once, his face flushing red as his First Spirit Ring lit up. His originally fat body swelled in an instant.

First Spirit Ability, Dragon Splitting Claw. Ge Rong attacked in fury, Soul Power gathering in his palms to form five sharp claws as he struck at Li Xun.

"Too slow." Li Xun narrowed his eyes and instantly appeared at Ge Rong's side. At the same time, he used Wood Style to grow a wooden stick as thick as his wrist in his hand.

Bang—

The wooden stick lashed viciously across Ge Rong's face. A swollen red welt immediately rose on his originally fat face.

Bang—

Another blow landed on Ge Rong's mouth, and his already thick lips swelled up in an instant.

Blood streamed out without stopping.

Li Xun's two consecutive heavy strikes left Ge Rong dazed. He instinctively spat out two front teeth. Once he came to his senses, he hurriedly covered his head with both hands to defend himself.

Bang! Bang! Bang!—

How could Li Xun let him off? The wooden stick in his hand swung again and again, raining down upon Ge Rong like dense raindrops.

"Do you know who we are?"

Ge Rong's entire body was in excruciating pain. To reduce the area being struck, he had curled up on the ground.

"Ah! I know... I know, stop hitting me..." Ge Rong could not help but howl.

"You knew, yet you still dared to come cause trouble! Who sent you?" Li Xun's eyes turned cold at his words, and the force in his hand increased.

"Stop hitting me! My grandfather... is the Empire Marshal... You dared to hit me!"

Hearing that he still dared to threaten him, Li Xun struck him several more times.

Although Ge Long was the Empire Marshal, he was only a level eighty Soul Douluo. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had not committed treason, so with two Super Douluo in his family, what was there to fear from him?

At this moment, everyone watching in the classroom looked at Li Xun in shock.

Those who knew some of the situation hurried out of the classroom.

After all, Ge Long was a powerful figure who held command over the empire's million-strong army.

Ordinary nobles would usually take a detour when they saw the descendants of such a person, afraid that one wrong move might offend them and implicate their entire family.

Yet today, Ge Rong was being pinned to the ground and beaten like a grandson.

They could already imagine Marshal Ge Long arriving at the academy with an army of a million in a rage.

"Who told you to come trouble Rongrong?" Li Xun crouched beside Ge Rong and asked softly.

Those gentle words sounded like a demon's whisper, making Ge Rong's fat body tremble.

"What are you doing?"

"Article Three of the academy rules: Beating or bullying others is strictly prohibited. Violators will be confined for ten days or expelled."

"You have seriously violated the rules. Throw away the weapon in your hand at once!" A teacher with a buzz cut rushed over.

When he saw Ge Rong and Luo Rongdou lying on the ground with bruised and swollen faces, and a boy crouching beside them with a wooden stick in hand, his heart sank instantly.

"Teacher, he even activated his spirit ring. This doesn't count as beating him. Besides, we were just joking around." Li Xun turned back to look at Buzz Cut Teacher.

"Well, well! It seems you've decided to be expelled?" Buzz Cut Teacher gritted his teeth in fury.

There were ranks even among nobles. Ge Rong and Luo Rongdou undoubtedly belonged to the very highest tier.

He had never seen Li Xun before, but he assumed the boy could not possibly have a greater background than those two.

"This doesn't seem to be your decision to make."

Li Xun's smile faded. He turned back to continue staring at Ge Rong, tapping the wooden stick against the ground. "Keep talking."

Ge Rong's fat body trembled, but seeing that the teacher had arrived, he pressed his swollen lips together and decided not to say another word.

That action made Li Xun laugh in anger. The wooden stick in his hand suddenly lashed down at Ge Rong again.

"Ah!"

Ge Rong had relaxed, his body gradually loosening up, when the sudden heavy blow made him howl in pain.

"You dare!"

Seeing that Li Xun still dared to attack after his arrival, the Buzz Cut Teacher's anger flared.

He rushed to Li Xun in a few quick strides, intending to snatch the wooden stick from his hand.

Li Xun had already noticed the man's movements from the corner of his eye. When the other party charged over, he used Body Flicker and appeared at the classroom door.

The Buzz Cut Teacher was startled by Li Xun's strange movement technique.

But this was not the time to think about it. He hurried to Ge Rong's side and began checking his injuries.

At the doorway.

Ning Rongrong stood there, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Li Xun.

She had not expected Brother Li Xun to be so strong. He had taken down someone so much older than himself without even using a soul skill.

As for being expelled... she already felt there was no point in staying here anyway. Going home would be fine too.

"Gone stupid?"

Li Xun glanced at Ning Rongrong and reached out to ruffle her hair roughly.

Seeing that Ning Rongrong merely grinned foolishly without resisting, he suddenly found it boring.

With the Buzz Cut Teacher interfering, he definitely could not continue questioning them.

However, since he had hit them so hard this time, whoever was directing the two from behind would surely make an issue out of it.

When the time came, they would see who stepped forward.

News of the fight in the Heavenly Subtle Grade Classroom spread quickly.

Mainly because the people who had been beaten had such powerful backgrounds.

By then, a group of students had gathered outside the classroom to watch the excitement. All of them looked excited as they whispered among themselves and pointed at the scene.

"What happened here?" A deep voice rang out.

Hearing the commotion, some students turned around and saw several people standing behind them.

At their head was a middle-aged man dressed in splendid brocade robes, with a teenage boy standing at his side.

"Greetings, Fourth Prince. Greetings, Prince Xue Xing." Recognizing them, the students hurriedly bowed.

The student's words also drew everyone else's attention. When they turned and saw who it was, they were all startled and quickly followed with bows.

Some of the more quick-witted students quietly explained what had happened in the classroom.

"I'd like to see which family's child dares to disregard the rules and beat and bully other students."

After saying that, Prince Xue Xing led the boy toward the classroom, while the others behind him hurriedly followed.
