"Aaaah! Xia Wuyou, you inherently evil little brat, you wait for this old man."

"The other four single-attribute clans and my master, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, will never let this rest. When they come, you and your entire Yanhuang Academy will be buried with me."

At the entrance of Yanhuang Academy.

The last dying cry of Taitan lingered in the air.

"Four single-attribute clans?"

"Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao?"

Xia Wuyou let out a sneer.

"Heh! What a bunch of random nobodies. You think trash like them can cause me trouble?"

Just three Soul Douluos and a crippled Tang Hao—that's all they amounted to.

If they dared to come, he'd send them to keep that old fossil Taitan company.

Scanning his surroundings, Xia Wuyou's tone turned icy.

"Yinshu, go to the Strength Clan for me. Tell them to give my Yanhuang Academy a satisfactory explanation. Otherwise, their entire clan won't need to exist anymore."

He wasn't a bloodthirsty man, but making an example of someone was necessary.

If he let this slide so easily, someone else would surely come causing trouble at the academy tomorrow.

"Understood, Dean!"

Hearing Xia Wuyou's orders, Yinshu nodded beside him.

But just then, a frantic female voice rang out, laced with panic.

"W-What? Dean Xia, what did you just say? You're the dean of an advanced Soul Master Academy—how can you be like this?"

"You've already killed the culprits, Tailong, Taino, and Taitan. Why do you have to go further and persecute the Strength Clan's old and weak?"

The speaker wore a royal academy uniform, with delicate features, short golden hair, and a cap on her head. It was "Bai Chenxiang," disguised as a man under the alias Yufeng.

As a member of the Speed Clan, Bai Chenxiang naturally knew the bonds between the four single-attribute clans.

She could only chalk up the deaths of Tailong, Taino, and Taitan to their own doing, but dragging the entire Strength Clan into it was too much.

Seeing "Yufeng" jump out to argue with Xia Wuyou, the rest of the Tiandou Royal Team was horrified.

"Holy crap! Yufeng, are you crazy? The Strength Clan's business has nothing to do with you—why are you butting in? Apologize to Dean Xia right now!"

"Yufeng, don't be stupid. Taitan tried to steal Dean Xia's secret about absorbing soul rings beyond his level and got killed for it. The whole Strength Clan has to be ready to pay the price."

"Exactly! Damn it, Yufeng, you idiot, don't do anything rash. Taitan and the Strength Clan were in the wrong from the start. Dean Xia's methods might be harsh, but you can't fault them. You've finally found your footing at the academy—don't throw it all away over this."

Unaware that Yufeng was actually from the Speed Clan, they couldn't understand why their usually sharp-witted teammate was suddenly so reckless.

In their eyes, since Tailong, Taino, and Taitan had tried to forcibly take Xia Wuyou's soul ring secret and died for it, they had only themselves to blame.

And since Taitan was the Strength Clan's patriarch, it was only fitting that the whole clan bore the consequences of his actions.

When Taitan chose to steal someone else's secret, he and his clan should have been prepared for annihilation.

That was how brutal the Douluo Continent was—if you had no power or influence, you had to accept being bullied.

And that was especially true in the Soul Master World, where the strong ruled, the weak had no say, and the powerful defined all the rules.

"Yufeng, everyone's right. The Strength Clan has nothing to do with you—don't get involved. This isn't your fight anyway. Just apologize to Dean Xia and don't blow this up."

Dugu Yan grabbed "Bai Chenxiang's" arm tightly, afraid the girl would act rashly.

Having known her for years, she was well aware that Yufeng was a woman.

She didn't want to see the only female member of the Tiandou Royal Team dragged into such a dangerous conflict.

"Everyone... I..."

Bai Chenxiang listened to her teammates' dissuasion, her heart a tangled mess.

She understood their concerns.

But the four single-attribute clans had always stood together.

Now that the Strength Clan faced potential 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 immediately understood who these people were.

The Tiandou Royal Team didn't get why "Yufeng" was acting this way, but he knew her true identity was Bai Chenxiang.

A member of the Speed Clan, one of the four single-attribute clans, granddaughter of its patriarch Bai He—a girl who, in the original story, 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 without thinking just now. If he offended you in any way, please don't hold it against him."

Feeling the pleading looks from his teammates, Yu Tianheng had no choice but to step forward and steel himself.

But he also played a little smart, revealing his identity as one of the Twin Stars of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as he spoke up.

"Ahem, Dean Xia, I am Qin Ming, the leader of the Tiandou Royal Team. Yufeng was out of line just now. As his teacher, I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive the boy."

As the leader of the Tiandou Royal Team, Qin Ming had no choice but to stand up at this moment.

These little ancestors all had identities more formidable than the last—if anything went wrong today, he would be in serious trouble.

Xia Wuyou paid no attention to Yu Tianheng or Qin Ming.

"Yufeng? Hah! I think I should call you Bai Chenxiang instead, shouldn't I? Am I right? Granddaughter of Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan."

Among the four single-attribute clans, few interested him, but aside from the Breaking Clan, the Speed Clan was one of them.

The former boasted alchemy skills and a catalog of immortal herbs, while the latter possessed the clan's treasured immortal herb, the "Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng."

"Dean... Dean Xia, what did you just say?"

"Bai Chenxiang?"

"Granddaughter of Bai He, the patriarch of the Speed Clan?"

"That deadbeat Yufeng is a girl?"

Hearing Xia Wuyou's words, everyone turned to see "Yufeng" offering no rebuttal. Aside from Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Qin Ming and the other male members of the Tiandou Royal Team were all stunned, their faces etched with shock and disbelief, as if they had heard something earth-shattering.

They all stared at Yufeng...

Oh, no!

Now they should call her Bai Chenxiang.

They looked at Bai Chenxiang, their mouths slightly open as if to say something, but after a moment's thought, they held back.

Shock, curiosity, confusion, disbelief.

All these emotions churned and intertwined in their hearts.

Recalling every little detail about "Yufeng" from the past, they had always thought that deadbeat was just a bit effeminate.

But what none of them had ever expected was that "Yufeng" was Bai Chenxiang—she had been a girl disguised as a boy all along.
