Douluo: The System Arrived Ten Thousand Years Early, and I Crushed Tang San

But after Shao Xin learned that Zhao Wuji had been beaten up for no reason by a masked man, he merely said that he deserved it and shut him out.

Zhao Wuji was extremely displeased.

He was, after all, the Vice Dean of this academy!

But when he thought of Shao Xin's importance, he could only swallow his bitterness.

Shao Xin frowned. "You're only hunting a Soul Beast that's barely over a thousand years old. If that counts as being distracted while protecting them, then can you and Flender still be considered powerful Soul Sages?"

Zhao Wuji was left speechless.

"Ahem, alright, alright. Since Shao Xin wants to stretch his legs, he can come with us."

Flender immediately tried to smooth things over.

This time, if Little Gang had not also wanted to go to the Star Dou Great Forest, he had planned to let Zhao Wuji lead the team there alone.

Yet the group had somehow grown larger and larger. They were only hunting a thousand-year Soul Beast. Was all this really necessary?

After several days of travel, Xiao Tian and the others finally arrived one evening at a small tavern near the Star Dou Great Forest to rest.

"Kids, you've been traveling for so long. Get some proper rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, we'll enter the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Flender said to everyone.

Ma Hongjun could not help collapsing onto the ground, exhaustion clear in his voice. "We're finally here. We've been traveling nonstop these past few days, and I'm about to throw up from eating Xiao Ao's sausages. At last, I can have something different."

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun patted his belly. "I feel like I've lost several pounds in just these few days!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense! If you want something to eat, go order it in the tavern yourselves!"

Flender glared at Ma Hongjun through his glasses, then chose a table with Yu Xiaogang and the other teachers.

Tang San asked in confusion, "Huh? Teacher isn't eating with us?"

Dai Mubai waved his hand. "That's the academy's rule. We pay our own expenses when we're outside, so the teachers won't eat with us."

Before long, Xiao Tian's table was filled with meat dishes and a small number of vegetable dishes.

After all, they had expended so much energy these past few days. They were all meat eaters and needed a proper meal to replenish themselves, while the vegetables were prepared for the girls.

As soon as the food was served, Ma Hongjun could not resist grabbing a roasted chicken leg and taking a bite.

Just then, a group wearing academy uniforms entered through the door. Their leader was a middle-aged man wearing a single gold-rimmed monocle.

The group looked rather arrogant.

Ma Hongjun's eyes immediately landed on the only girl from Blue Sunshine Academy. He even forgot to eat the chicken leg in his hand as he said to Dai Mubai with a lecherous grin, "Boss Dai, look at that chick. She's really hot, isn't she?"

As he spoke, Ma Hongjun ogled the mature woman's figure from top to bottom. His already small eyes narrowed into slits!

Dai Mubai subconsciously glanced at the woman from Blue Sunshine Academy, then noticed the arrogance of the entire group. He immediately said haughtily, "It's just some pathetic Blue Sunshine Academy. What the hell are they acting so smug for?"

Even Shrek Academy had not made such a grand entrance when they came in.

Neither Ma Hongjun nor Dai Mubai made any effort to lower their voices.

The tavern's noisy chatter instantly vanished. No one dared to speak, while Flender and Zhao Wuji watched the show from afar.

Xiao Tian helplessly shook his head. He was not taking the blame for this. If they liked causing trouble, they could deal with it themselves.

Xiao Wu and the others also felt displeased. They were already tired. Could those two not just eat quietly? Did they have to cause trouble?

"Fatty, did I not beat you hard enough last time? You haven't learned a thing?"

Xiao Wu waved her little fist.

Ma Hongjun immediately shrank his neck and gave an awkward laugh.

"Ahem, Xiao Wu, I was just appreciating her, appreciating her! It's different from last time!"

But it was already too late. Ye Zhi Qiu, the leader of Blue Sunshine Academy, had led his students over from the counter and said coldly, "What did you two just say?"

Concerned about saving face, Dai Mubai stood up and stubbornly replied, "I said! What the hell is some pathetic Blue Sunshine Academy acting so smug for?"

Then Xiao Tian's indifferent voice sounded from the side. "Yes, they are indeed arrogant. So, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, you two handle the people you provoked yourselves!"

Ye Zhi Qiu subconsciously glanced at the person who had spoken. He had initially thought this person was speaking up for the two of them. It seemed their team was not very united. Otherwise, the person before him must have been a coward, but judging from the coldness in Xiao Tian's words, that clearly was not the case.

"Hahaha, kid, you're quite sensible. As long as those two apologize to our students now, we'll let this matter go!"

Ye Zhi Qiu had brought his students out this time to obtain Soul Rings for them, and he did not wish to cause trouble either.

Conflict: A Soul Master Who Doesn't Cause Trouble Isn't a Good Soul Master?

Flender, who had been watching from afar, frowned when he heard Xiao Tian say that.

"Wuji, Little Gang, what do you think about this?"

Zhao Wuji curled his lips. "I think Xiao Tian chickened out. Can a Soul Master who doesn't cause trouble still be considered a good Soul Master?"

Over the past few days, Zhao Wuji had been holding in a great deal of anger because of various matters.

Shao Xin silently shook his head beside him. This was exactly why he had been unwilling to treat Zhao Wuji's injuries.

What kind of nonsense was that, a Soul Master who did not cause trouble was not a good Soul Master? It was utter nonsense!

Did that mean a Support System Soul Master had to cause trouble too?

Was that not just asking for suffering?

Dai Mubai snorted at Xiao Tian. "A Soul Master who doesn't cause trouble isn't a good Soul Master. The Dean said that himself! Xiao Tian, did you chicken out because they have more people?"

Xiao Tian said coldly, "What kind of bullshit logic is that? If our academy's teachers weren't here, would you still have the nerve to say that?"

Xiao Tian stared at Dai Mubai with a gaze as sharp as a ruler, sword light flickering in his eyes.

Dai Mubai choked on his words.

Ma Hongjun met Xiao Tian's gaze and said, "But they have a teacher leading them too!"

"Fatty! Shut up! Weren't you two the ones who started this? You even insulted their teacher. They're already being very restrained by only asking you to apologize!" Xiao Wu glared at him.

Tang San, meanwhile, pondered the scene before him. The teachers must have seen this, yet they had not stepped in. Were they testing how we would handle it?

"Teacher, why waste words with them? Everyone, get them!"

A male student from Blue Sunshine Academy raised his fist and punched at Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai's eyes sharpened. He caught the student's punching wrist, twisted it, then kicked him straight into the tavern wall.

"Ahhh—"

The sudden turn of events sent everyone in the tavern into a panic, and they all fled outside.

"Honored Soul Masters, this is only a small business. Please show mercy and take the fight outside."

The tavern owner hid behind the counter, poking out his head as he pleaded tearfully.

At that moment, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were already fiercely fighting the people from Blue Sunshine Academy. Even Tang San and Oscar had joined in.

Xiao Tian looked at the ruined food on the table, and anger gradually rose in his heart. A perfectly good meal had been ruined just like that!

Bastards!

"Enough!"

Xiao Tian slammed his chopsticks heavily onto the table.

But at that moment, no one paid attention to him. Some had even already summoned their Martial Souls.

"Brother, what do we do now? If they fight inside the tavern, this place will definitely be wrecked."

"Xiao Tian, tell us what to do. The three of us will listen to you."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and spoke.

Xiao Tian's thoughts turned, and he immediately came up with an idea. His tone grew much heavier. "In that case, the three of us will go big and beat them all up!"

"Huh?"

His words immediately stunned the three girls.

After a brief pause, Xiao Wu rubbed her palms excitedly. She had been unhappy with that damned fatty for a long time!

"But... Dai Mubai and the others are from the same academy as us. The teachers are watching too. Is this... really alright?"

A trace of hesitation appeared on Zhu Zhuqing's face.

"What's not alright about it? Dai Mubai and the others caused this in the first place. If they destroy the tavern, we won't have anywhere to stay tonight! Besides, Teacher Shao Xin is here. Even if they're seriously injured or have broken bones, they can recover."

Xiao Tian merely glanced at Zhu Zhuqing before saying blandly, "Didn't you come here to become stronger? Or are you truly willing to keep letting Dai Mubai be your fiancé? End it as soon as possible!"

With that, he ignored Zhu Zhuqing and quickly gave Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu their instructions. "Rong Rong, buff the two of us. Xiao Wu, wait for the right moment and use Teleportation to kick the weaker ones out of the tavern. Leave everyone else to me. We can't fight inside the tavern."

After hearing Xiao Tian's instructions, Zhu Zhuqing's face turned slightly pale. She knew that her earlier words had angered him.

Ning Rongrong had no time to care about Zhu Zhuqing. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in her hand, and two buffs entered Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu's bodies.

With Ning Rongrong's buffs, Xiao Wu was the first to teleport to Ma Hongjun's side. One leg struck him directly in the face, while her other leg kicked heavily into his waist.

Ma Hongjun had not expected Xiao Wu to sneak attack him at such a moment and was completely unprepared.

Then she teleported beside several Blue Sunshine Academy students and kicked them out one after another.

As for the consequences of attacking people from her own academy, she did not care at all. Xiao Tian had said that Tang Hao was no longer hiding in the shadows. If Flender dared to do anything to them, then they could simply flee into the Star Dou Great Forest.

As long as she removed her ring then, Da Ming Er Ming should be able to sense her aura.

So unlike Zhu Zhuqing, who was full of worries, Xiao Wu instead felt completely unburdened.

Immortal Wind Cloud Body Technique!

Several body illusions instantly split off from Xiao Tian.

Drunken Immortal Gazing Moon Steps!

His speed rose to its limit as he forcibly kicked Dai Mubai and Oscar out.

"Tang San, walk out yourself. Don't make me beat you up!"

Xiao Tian's cold voice rang beside Tang San's ear. Seeing that all his companions had been kicked out, Tang San's face alternated between green and purple.

It was not that Xiao Tian did not want to kick Tang San out, but Tang San's reaction speed was even above Ye Zhi Qiu's, a Soul King. Kicking him out would require some effort, and there was not enough time.

He had to act before Flender and the others stopped them.

Xiao Tian then locked his gaze onto Ye Zhi Qiu.

As expected of a Soul King, Ye Zhi Qiu swiftly summoned his Mystic Turtle Martial Soul after noticing Xiao Tian's actions. His body became covered in Turtle Shell armor.

Five Soul Rings slowly rose beneath his feet.

First Soul Skill, Mystic Turtle Possession!

Originally, Ye Zhi Qiu had only wanted the two of them to apologize. However, his students had been unable to restrain themselves and had attacked, and now both sides were fighting directly in the tavern.

The scene was extremely chaotic, and he had no way to make everyone leave.

Then he noticed people constantly being kicked out of the tavern, whether they were his students or the other side's.

Now he saw Xiao Tian, who had spoken earlier, seemingly intending to kick him out as well. He found it amusing. Did this little brat really think he could do anything to him?

A faint smile curled Xiao Tian's lips as Fifteen appeared in his right hand.

Pupil of the Sword Heart External Soul Bone Soul Skill—Sword Intent Gaze!

A strand of Sword Intent condensed by Xiao Tian himself shot toward Ye Zhi Qiu's forehead!

Not Even a Backwater Academy? Ye Zhi Qiu Felt Like He Was About to Grow a Brain!

Uh...
