Tang San: Xiao Wu, You Have a Death Wish!

About thirty-five seconds passed.

Tang San had calmed down somewhat. "Teacher, I'm sorry. I think I nearly lost control just now. My mind was out of control. That person just now wasn't me, Teacher. You have to believe me!"

"Little San, of course I believe you. But now that my Soul Power has been crippled, my appearance has aged by decades, and my body is no longer as strong as it once was... you won't despise your teacher, will you?"

"Never, never! In my heart, you will always be my only teacher."

Tang San added silently, "It's not wrong to only seek you out, but why can I only seek people?"

"Little San, you needn't worry. Yesterday's killer probably didn't spread word of what happened to you and me. Otherwise, people would already be here to watch the show. Judging by the time and place of the attack, the killer was clearly very familiar with us. It was probably someone from the academy. Think carefully—have you offended anyone recently? Go out later and take a good look around. See if you can find the killer."

"Alright! Teacher, rest for a while. I'll go take a look outside." Tang San got dressed and walked out of the room.

As Tang San walked along the road, he suddenly heard Wang Sheng calling him. Cold sweat instantly broke out across his body as he calculated inwardly, "Has the matter gotten out? Or has it only spread through Nuoding Academy? If I kill everyone in Nuoding Academy now, can I stop the news from spreading?"

Wang Sheng hurried over, panting heavily. "Third Brother, Third Brother, where did you and Sister Xiao Wu go last night? A teacher checked the dorms last night, and neither of you came back. I made up all sorts of excuses, but the teacher didn't believe any of them. In the end, your names were still recorded. The teacher told you to go to the office this morning."

Only then did Tang San let out a breath of relief. It seemed the matter had not spread.

Then Tang San realized something. "Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu didn't return to the dorm last night either?"

"That's right."

"Could it have been her?" Tang San flung Wang Sheng aside and ignored his calls from behind as he hurried off to search for Xiao Wu.

Very quickly, he found the note in the small grove. Tang San read it again and again, confirming that it was Xiao Wu's handwriting, paper, and ink.

"Xiao Wu didn't return to the dorm last night either. The only one who could have known my whereabouts so well was probably Xiao Wu."

"Xiao Wu! I never thought you were the one behind what happened last night!" Tang San viciously tore the note to pieces.

"I trusted you so much, liked you so much. Even after losing my younger brother, I still chose to be with you. That shows just how much I liked you."

"And what about you? You didn't understand me at all. Clearly, you never loved me!"

"Xiao Wu, you have a death wish!"

"No wonder you'd been so cold toward me these past few days. So you were actually trying to harm me. I, Tang San, swear that even if I search to the ends of the earth in this life, I will definitely kill you!"

The furious Tang San immediately returned to the dormitory and unleashed Blue Silver Bind!, shredding Xiao Wu's bed and belongings into a complete mess.

Tang San still did not feel satisfied, so he proceeded to smash up the dormitory. Anything Xiao Wu had used, he destroyed. That included the communal washbasin, the doorframe... even the floor tiles were not spared.

The entire dormitory was instantly thrown into chaos.

Wang Sheng and the others watched this scene, terrified as they huddled in the corner of Dorm Seven, too angry to speak. They could not understand it. Tang San and Xiao Wu had been getting along quite well before, so why was Tang San suddenly so furious today?

Only Wang Sheng shakily stood up and asked softly, "Third Brother, did you and Sister Xiao Wu have some kind of misunderstanding?"

"Say that again!" Tang San stalked toward Wang Sheng step by step, his gaze razor-sharp, as though he would strike with deadly force the next moment.

"Th-Third Brother, did you and Sister Xiao Wu have some kind of misunderstanding?" Wang Sheng was so frightened that he collapsed to the floor and mechanically repeated what he had just said.

"Hmph! You called her Sister Xiao Wu! You acknowledged my enemy as your sister! It seems you aren't my roommate at all, nor are you my underling. You're my enemy. You have a death wish!"

Without waiting for Wang Sheng to explain, Tang San hit him with Blue Silver Bind, then kicked and punched him, while secretly firing several Hidden Weapons.

"But you called her Sister Xiao Wu too, didn't you? You were the one who led everyone in calling her Sister Xiao Wu back then." At that moment, a random bystander refused to accept this and stood up to state the facts.

"You still dare talk back! You have a death wish too!" Tang San unleashed another round of Blue Silver Bind, punches, kicks, and Hidden Weapons on the bystander.

Then Tang San pointed at everyone remaining in Dorm Seven and roared angrily:

"And you all! You all called her Sister Xiao Wu! You're all my enemies! You all have a death wish!"

Half an hour later, Tang San finally stopped after beating everyone in Dorm Seven until they were vomiting blood and suffering broken bones. If they had not been at the academy, he would have killed them all.

Tang San did not think he had done anything wrong, because everyone there had been birds of a feather with his enemy Xiao Wu. Every last one of them had a death wish!

Tang San ran out of Nuoding Academy like a madman. At the gate, he encountered the guard who had mocked him years ago, and rage immediately surged through him.

"You mocked me back then! You have a death wish too!" Tang San fired a Hidden Weapon, directly ending the guard's life.

"Hmph, a guard without Soul Power dared mock me! I can't kill that bunch from Dorm Seven for now, but you? So what if I kill you? At most, I'll have to pay some money."

He then rushed through the streets. Whenever he saw a ten-year-old girl with a long braid, he would turn her around to see whether she was Xiao Wu, drawing curses from the whole street!

From then on, Tang San not only gained the title of Handjob King in Nuoding City, but also the title of Braid Maniac.

Tang San searched Nuoding City and its surroundings for an entire day, yet still found no trace of Xiao Wu.

Only then did he realize that he still did not know where Xiao Wu's home was, nor did he know her origins or her past.

"I'm such a fool, truly! I should have realized long ago that Xiao Wu had a death wish. I must take revenge!"

In the end, Tang San was expelled from Nuoding Academy for beating fellow students and seriously injuring dozens of people, killing an academy guard, indiscriminately harassing girls in Nuoding City, damaging Nuoding Academy's reputation, and harming Nuoding City's appearance. He was also ordered to compensate all the victims for their medical expenses.

The punishment was so light because, after Tang Hao heard about the incident, he posed as a level forty-eight Soul Ancestor, secretly infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion of Nuoding City, and intimidated the city lord.

Yu Xiaogang had originally wanted to use the Spirit Hall Elder Token, but before he could act, Tang Hao stopped him. Tang Hao had enough sense not to use the elder token Spirit Hall had given to the Clear Sky Sect in Nuoding City.

After learning of Tang San's situation, Tang Hao was filled with regret as well. He could not discover who had truly attacked them, so he could only believe that Xiao Wu had done it.

As for the reason, neither Tang San nor Yu Xiaogang dared tell Tang Hao. They only said that she was probably cruel by nature and had taken the opportunity to retaliate after falling out with Tang San.

Tang Hao, meanwhile, believed this was a Shapeshifting Soul Beast taking revenge on humans.

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang could only leave in disgrace and seek refuge at Shrek Academy ahead of schedule.
