Tang San's Explosive Deeds, Yu Xiaogang Lost All Face!

Zhao Wuji hurriedly forced out a smile in response as well.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was somewhat awkward,

Flender quickly stepped between them and began introducing them to each other.

"Wuji, let me introduce you."

"This is my old friend from back in the day."

"You can call him Great Master. Almost everyone in the Spirit Master World addresses him that way."

Listening to Flender's introduction, Zhao Wuji sized Yu Xiaogang up from head to toe.

The man standing before him was an utterly ordinary middle-aged man.

His face was stiff, and at first glance, he looked somewhat dull.

His back was straight enough, but his complexion gave off a permanently drained feeling.

Zhao Wuji had actually hit the mark.

He was missing a kidney.

How the hell could he not look drained?

Yu Xiaogang could not do a single bit of strenuous work anymore.

Ever since Tang San had turned ten, he had taken full responsibility for his food, clothing, lodging, and daily needs.

Like Yu Xiaogang's personal nanny.

Just then, Zhao Wuji noticed that this "Great Master" did not seem to be looking at him very kindly.

There was three parts arrogance, four parts indifference, and two parts impatience in his gaze.

Zhao Wuji immediately felt annoyed.

What kind of fucking Great Master looked like this?

Couldn't he look people in the eye?

He was exactly like that useless disciple of his, Tang San.

But for Dean Flender's sake,

Zhao Wuji said nothing. Putting on a surprised expression, he said sarcastically,

"So you're the Great Master. I've heard so much about you!"

"Who in the Spirit Master World hasn't heard of the Great Master with his invincible theories?"

"Now that I've seen you in person, you truly are extraordinary!"

"Hello, I'm Zhao Wuji!"

By the end, Zhao Wuji wore an exceedingly friendly smile.

This...

Flender immediately sensed that something was off about the atmosphere in the room.

He had never seen Zhao Wuji so quick with his tongue before.

How had these two started sparking the moment they met?

Flender hastily smiled at Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang, this is Shrek Academy's Vice Dean, Zhao Wuji."

The latter nodded, barely squeezing a trace of a smile onto his stiff face.

Then, in an exceptionally flat tone, he said,

"So you are the famed Indomitable King. I've heard much about you."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand nonchalantly and chuckled.

"The dean said you came looking for me about something?"

"We're all on the same side here, so just say it!"

He threw the question right at him, lest more trouble arise the longer they talked.

"There is indeed something."

Yu Xiaogang gave a brief response, then unceremoniously pulled over the room's only chair.

He sat down as though no one else existed before continuing,

"I have a disciple named Tang San, who previously graduated from Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy."

"A while ago, he came to Suotuo City to take Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam."

"But when I arrived at the academy today and spoke with Dean Flender, I discovered that he actually failed the Entrance Exam?"

At this point, Yu Xiaogang put on airs and picked up the teacup from the table.

After taking a light sip, he continued.

"I heard that this year's Entrance Exam was entirely handled by Vice Dean Zhao Wuji."

"I only wish to ask: what was the reason my disciple failed the Entrance Exam?"

Yu Xiaogang's tone was far from friendly.

It even carried a strong undertone of interrogation.

Zhao Wuji frowned slightly.

Yu Xiaogang's manner of speaking greatly disgusted him.

Moreover, he seemed not to regard Zhao Wuji, the Vice Dean, with any respect at all.

Since that was the case, there was no reason for Zhao Wuji to spare him any face.

He refused to believe that Yu Xiaogang could still sit there so self-righteously after hearing what his disciple Tang San had done.

"During the final test of the Entrance Exam, your disciple—"

"Wet his pants after being frightened by the examiner assigned by the academy."

"He even knelt down and begged for mercy afterward!"

"By the rules, he unquestionably failed Shrek Academy's Entrance Exam."

"Great Master, is there anything else you don't understand?"

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed instantly.

"What?"

"How could Tang San possibly do such a thing!"

"I know his character extremely well. Could Vice Dean Zhao Wuji have made a mistake?"

Faced with Yu Xiaogang's doubts, Zhao Wuji did not give a damn.

"Is Great Master saying that I'm spouting nonsense?"

"There were five other students there that day who saw it with their own eyes. If you don't believe me—"

"You can go ask them yourself!"

With that, Zhao Wuji turned and left Flender's room.

He did not care in the slightest about Yu Xiaogang's iron-green face.

Yu Xiaogang stood up and stared seriously at Flender.

The latter merely nodded lightly without saying a word.

He had clearly acknowledged it.

What Zhao Wuji had said was indeed true.

Yu Xiaogang's vision immediately went dark, and he collapsed back into the chair.

Tang San had utterly disgraced his old face.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang looked up at Flender.

"The students should be about to start class now, right?"

Flender's expression froze slightly before he shook his head.

"They have the day off today. They should all still be resting."

In reality, he only learned the day's schedule half an hour before the students did.

There was no fixed timetable at all.

They simply did whatever came to mind.

"Why are you asking?"

Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang suspiciously.

Judging by that expression of his, along with what he had just asked,

He was clearly up to no good!

Could he be planning to mess with his students too?

"I intend to meet these students and give them some basic guidance."

Yu Xiaogang's expression was calm, and he made it sound completely sincere.

In reality, he merely wanted to back Tang San up in front of the other students.

He wanted them to understand that Tang San's teacher was the Great Master!

At the same time, he wanted to privately ask Tang San what exactly had happened.

He did not believe that his disciple would truly do something so absurd.

There had to be some hidden circumstances.

"You..."

Flender's face was full of helplessness.

He had been a dean for so long, yet he had never encountered such a rude request.

What the hell was this?

A Level 29 Soul Grandmaster?

And he wanted to guide them?

Gu Xuan and Dai Mubai, even Oscar from the Food System, all had Soul Power above Level 30.

What the hell was he going to use to guide them?

His Level 29 Soul Power, or that pile of "invincible" theories?

But Yu Xiaogang had already asked, so Flender could not directly refuse him.

After struggling with it for quite a while, he finally agreed, deeply unwilling.

"If you're going to guide the students, you need an appropriate identity."

"I'll tell the students that you're a new teacher, but you'd better not reveal your martial soul or Soul Power."

Flender was already giving him well-intentioned advice.

These students were all heaven-blessed talents.

Every one of them possessed astonishing talent, and quite a few were young members of top sects and great clans.

Trying to make them accept Yu Xiaogang as a teacher, he feared no one would be willing.
