Tang San Offends the Imperial Family, Students Avoid Him

Tang San lost control after being humiliated like that. The Silent Sleeve Arrow hidden in his sleeve shot out instantly. Luckily, Xue Beng turned his head slightly, and it only cut his face. If it had struck his head, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xue Beng reached up and wiped the blood from his face, his expression immediately darkening. Furious, he threw a punch infused with Soul Power, striking Tang San in the abdomen.

Tang San was sent flying and slammed into the archway pillar of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. He had barely steadied himself and spat out a mouthful of blood when Xue Beng came at him with another punch.

Tang San wanted to activate his first soul skill to restrain Xue Beng, but Xue Beng gave him no chance at all. One punch nearly crippled Tang San's arm.

After beating him to his heart's content, the royal carriage procession arrived. Xue Beng planted a foot on Tang San's head, smoothed his hair, and said to the guards, "Keep a close eye on this brat. Don't release him until my face has fully recovered!"

The guards answered in unison, "Yes!"

Xue Beng nodded and walked toward the carriage. The soldier driving it lifted the curtain and said, "Fourth Prince, please!"

After Xue Beng got into the carriage, Tang San finally forced his exhausted body upright and glared hatefully at the departing carriage. Yu Xiaogang had stood by and watched the entire time. As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, he did not dare bring any more trouble upon the clan.

At that moment, Xue Beng said to the guard driving the carriage, "Investigate whether this Yu Xiaogang is the Yu Xiaogang from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If he is, make something of it!"

The guard nodded. "Understood! Fourth Prince, I'll report this to His Highness the Prince right away!"

A guard hurried to the Prince's Mansion and told Xue Xing about Xue Beng, Tang San, and Yu Xiaogang. Prince Xue Xing flew into a rage upon hearing this and ordered every piece of information on Yu Xiaogang brought to him.

After carefully reviewing it, he confirmed that this Yu Xiaogang was indeed the Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Prince Xue Xing led eight hundred personal guards from the Prince's Mansion to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to demand justice. He also had news of Yu Xiaogang's contempt for imperial authority and nobles spread far and wide.

This time, Prince Xue Xing intended to make it impossible for Yu Xiaogang to remain in the Heaven Dou Empire. Meanwhile, after returning to the palace, Xue Beng went to see his eldest brother, Xue Qinghe.

Although Xue Beng appeared to be a respectful younger brother before his kindly elder brother, he hated that eldest brother to the core. His second brother had once treated Xue Beng exceptionally well, yet had died for no reason at all.

Xue Beng had harbored this hatred for years. He had even taken Prince Xue Xing's advice and pretended to be a wastrel. Clearly, it had worked exactly as intended, and Xue Beng had survived safely.

After meeting Xue Qinghe, Xue Beng went to Xue Ye's bedchamber. He intended to have his father teach Yu Xiaogang and Tang San a lesson. If possible, he even wanted his father to expel them both.

When Xue Ye learned that his youngest son had been injured, he flew into a rage and ordered a citywide search for men named Yu Xiaogang and Tang San.

Within a few days, news of Yu Xiaogang's contempt for imperial authority and nobles had spread throughout the Heaven Dou Empire. The matter of Tang San deliberately attempting to assassinate the Fourth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire had also become widely known.

Fortunately, Tang Hao was currently in Holy Spirit Village, taking care of Ah Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor who had only recently grown into a girl in her teens. If Tang Hao learned of this, he would probably be furious to death.

He had finally found Tang San a place where he could study properly, only for Tang San to cause Tang Hao an attempted assassination incident.

Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, pressured by Xue Xing, removed Yu Xiaogang from the clan genealogy. It was Yu Xiaogang's second uncle, Yu Luomian, who handled the matter of removing him from the genealogy.

As the clan head and Yu Xiaogang's father, Yu Luomian was not suited to do such a thing himself, so he left this dirty work to his younger brother.

Before long, the news that Yu Xiaogang had been removed from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's genealogy spread everywhere. When Yu Xiaogang learned of it, his eyes nearly split with rage, and he slammed a furious fist into the prison wall.

Without his ties to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the crime of contempt for imperial authority and nobles alone would have been enough to kill Yu Xiaogang eight hundred times over. Now he had learned that the clan had removed him from its genealogy as well.

This dealt Yu Xiaogang a devastating blow. He sat on the pile of dry straw in his cell, staring blankly at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Tang San still had his aunt to cover for him. He changed his name to Tang Yin and transferred to Canghui Academy. Tang Yuehua instructed him that he must not reveal his real name.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Zhao Xiaotian had prepared many talismans over the past few days. He had also used the ability of his second soul skill to freely transform weapons, making a large amount of talisman paper.

Over the past few days, Yu Xiaogang had endured every form of punishment in the Heaven Dou Empire's prison. He fainted several times, and each time, Xue Beng deliberately summoned a Healing System Soul Master to treat him.

Every time he was healed, the punishment continued. Again and again, he fainted; again and again, the punishment resumed. Even Xue Beng was beginning to grow tired of it.

That day, Xue Beng threw the blood-soaked Python Whip in his hand onto the ground. He walked aside, took a sip of water, caught his breath, and said, "This trash really is useless! He passed out after only twenty minutes of beating."

A guard beside him promptly brought over a towel for Xue Beng to wipe away his sweat. The guard fawned, "Fourth Prince! How about you rest while we teach him a lesson?"

Xue Beng waved a hand, signaling them to continue. Then he left the prison and headed for his Imperial Uncle's Prince's Mansion.

The past few days had truly exhausted him. He planned to find a few pretty women in the underground prison of the Prince's Mansion to vent his frustrations on.

Prince Xue Xing had gone to great lengths to make Xue Beng even more of a wastrel. He had personally planned one Girl Disappearance Case after another, ensuring that Xue Qinghe could not trace them.

All the missing girls were imprisoned in the dungeon beneath Prince Xue Xing's residence. Almost every girl Xue Beng grew tired of was mercilessly killed, then thrown half-dressed onto the streets.

The residents of Heaven Dou City could only swallow their anger in silence. Some did not even dare feel angry, terrified that Xue Beng might kill them on a whim.

At this time, in the Star Dou Great Forest, Oscar was beginning to grow restless and impatient. Zhao Wuji, Dai Mubai, and the others from Shrek had already spent half a month in the Star Dou Great Forest, yet they had not found a suitable soul ring for Oscar.

Zhao Xiaotian said with a faint smile, "Don't grow restless while searching for a soul ring. It will make you lose your most basic judgment."

Zhao Wuji nodded. "That's right! Xiao Ao, stay calm. Finding a soul ring that suits your wishes isn't easy. We'll search for another half month. If we still can't find one, we'll have no choice but to move to Sunset Forest."

After Zhao Wuji and Zhao Xiaotian spoke to him, Oscar calmed down and entered the tent to rest. Zhao Xiaotian prepared food for everyone, while the others gathered firewood or headed to a nearby water source in search of food and fresh water.

Zhao Xiaotian took out pots and stoves from his Soul Tool to prepare a meal. Zhu Zhuqing brought back several fish from a nearby water source, while Dai Mubai found some fruit deeper in the forest.

After Zhao Xiaotian cleaned the fish Zhu Zhuqing had brought back, he put them into the pot. He made braised fish, spicy fish, and more, preparing a portion for everyone present.

The fragrant smell made everyone praise Zhao Xiaotian's cooking. Despite his thin frame, Oscar ate six bowls of rice.
