"Ahhh! Xia Wuyou, you naturally evil little brat, just you wait!"
"The other Four Single-Attribute Clans and my master, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, will never let this go. When the time comes, you and the entire Yanhuang Academy will be buried with me."
At the gates of Yanhuang Academy.
Tai Tan's final dying cries still lingered in the air.
"The Four Single-Attribute Clans?"
"Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao?"
Xia Wuyou let out a scornful laugh.
"Heh! What kind of nonsense is that? Those worthless trash dare come looking for trouble with me?"
Just three Soul Douluo and a severely injured Tang Hao. That was all they amounted to.
If they dared to come, he would send them to reunite with that old fool Tai Tan.
Sweeping his gaze around, Xia Wuyou spoke in an icy tone.
"Yinshu, go to the Strength Clan for me and make them give Yanhuang Academy a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, there'll be no need for the entire Strength Clan to continue existing."
Although he was not someone who enjoyed slaughter, it was necessary to make an example of someone.
If he let this slide so easily, there was no telling whether someone else would come cause trouble at Yanhuang Academy tomorrow.
"Yes, Dean. Understood!"
Hearing Xia Wuyou's orders, Yinshu nodded from nearby.
However, at that moment, a hurried female voice rang out, her tone full of panic.
"W-what? Dean Xia, what did you just say? You're the dean of an advanced Soul Master Academy, how can you do this?"
"You have already killed Tailong, Taino, and Tai Tan, the three culprits. Why must you exterminate them completely and go after the elderly, women, and children of the Strength Clan?"
The speaker wore the uniform of the Royal Academy. She had delicate features, short golden hair, and a hat on her head. She was none other than Bai Chenxiang, disguised as a man under the name "Yufeng."
As a member of the Speed Clan, Bai Chenxiang naturally understood the bond between the Four Single-Attribute Clans.
She could only regard the deaths of Tailong, Taino, and Tai Tan as their own doing. But when she heard that the entire Strength Clan would be implicated, she could no longer sit still.
Seeing Yufeng—"Bai Chenxiang"—step forward to contradict Xia Wuyou, the other members of the Tiandou Royal Team were horrified.
"Damn! Yufeng, have you lost your mind? The Strength Clan's affairs have nothing to do with you. Why are you getting involved? Hurry up and apologize to Dean Xia!"
"Yufeng, don't be stupid. Tai Tan tried to seize Dean Xia's secret of absorbing a soul ring beyond his level and got himself killed. The entire Strength Clan should have been prepared to pay the price."
"Exactly! You idiot Yufeng, don't do anything foolish. Tai Tan and the Strength Clan were the ones who acted improperly first. Dean Xia's methods may be ruthless, but no one can fault him for it. You finally managed to establish yourself at the academy—don't throw it all away over this."
Not knowing that Yufeng was from the Speed Clan, they truly could not understand why the usually clever Yufeng had suddenly become so impulsive.
In their eyes, Tailong, Taino, and Tai Tan had tried to forcibly steal Xia Wuyou's secret regarding soul rings and had been killed for it. They had only themselves to blame.
Moreover, Tai Tan had been the clan leader of the entire Strength Clan. There was nothing wrong with the whole clan bearing the consequences of the disaster he had brought upon them.
The moment Tai Tan chose to seize someone else's secret, he and the entire Strength Clan should have been prepared for the possibility of extermination.
Douluo Continent was this cruel. Those without power or influence had to be prepared to suffer oppression.
That was even more true in the Soul Master World, where strength was supreme, the weak had no right to speak, and all rules were defined by the strong.
"Yufeng, everyone makes sense. The Strength Clan has nothing to do with you, so don't get involved. This isn't your place to interfere. Hurry up and apologize to Dean Xia. Don't make things worse."
Dugu Yan tightly grabbed "Bai Chenxiang's" arm, afraid that the girl would act rashly.
Having spent years together, she naturally knew that Yufeng was a girl.
She did not want the Tiandou Royal Team's only female teammate to become embroiled in such a dangerous dispute.
"Everyone... I..."
Listening to her teammates' attempts to dissuade her, Bai Chenxiang felt a complicated mix of emotions.
She understood their concerns.
But the Four Single-Attribute Clans had always stood together through thick and thin.
Now that the Strength Clan faced the imminent threat of destruction, how could she, as a member of the Speed Clan, stand by and do nothing?
"Oh! Yufeng?"
"A member of the Tiandou Royal Team?"
Xia Wuyou instantly understood who these people were.
The Tiandou Royal Team did not understand "Yufeng's" actions, but he knew that she was Bai Chenxiang.
The granddaughter of Bai He, the Speed Clan's leader and one of the Four Single-Attribute Clans—a girl whose story in the original work had ended in tragedy and regret.
"Dean Xia, I am Yu Tianheng, one of the twin stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and captain of the Tiandou Royal Team. Yufeng spoke too bluntly just now. If he offended you in any way, I hope you will not hold it against him."
Sensing the pleading looks cast his way by the others, Yu Tianheng, as the Royal Team's captain, had no choice but to step forward despite himself.
Still, Yu Tianheng had played a small trick. As he stepped out to help, he also revealed that he was one of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's twin stars.
"Cough, cough, cough. Dean Xia, I am Qin Ming, the Tiandou Royal Team's leader. Yufeng has offended you just now. As his teacher, I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive this child."
As the Royal Team's leader, Qin Ming had no choice but to stand up as well.
These young masters and young ladies each had an identity more formidable than the last. If anything went wrong today, he would be in serious trouble.
Xia Wuyou ignored both Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming.
"Yufeng? Heh! I think I should call you Bai Chenxiang instead, shouldn't I? The granddaughter of Bai He, leader of the Speed Clan."
There were not many things among the Four Single-Attribute Clans that interested him. Aside from the Breaking Clan, the Speed Clan happened to be one of them.
The former possessed its alchemy arts and catalogue of immortal herbs, while the latter possessed the clan's treasured immortal herb, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng.
"D-Dean Xia, what did you just say?"
"Bai Chenxiang?"
"The granddaughter of Bai He, leader of the Speed Clan?"
"That idiot Yufeng is a girl?"
Upon hearing Xia Wuyou's words, they turned and saw that "Yufeng" did not deny it. Aside from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling—
Qin Ming and the other boys of the Tiandou Royal Team wore expressions of utter shock and disbelief, as though they had heard something unimaginable.
Everyone looked at Yufeng...
Oh, no!
She should be called Bai Chenxiang now.
Everyone looked at Bai Chenxiang, their mouths slightly open as if they wanted to say something. Yet after thinking it over, they ultimately held their tongues.
Shock, curiosity, confusion, astonishment.
All kinds of emotions intertwined and surged through their hearts.
Thinking back on every little thing "Yufeng" had done, they had assumed this "idiot" was merely somewhat effeminate.
But none of them had ever imagined that "Yufeng" was Bai Chenxiang—a girl disguised as a boy.
