Dormitory Seven.

Wang Sheng lay on his bed, grinning, "That guy Xiao Chenyu hasn't shown up in a month. Did he transfer because he was too embarrassed to face anyone?"

"I think that's very likely," Tang San chimed in.

The fight in the small forest had resulted in a great victory for the Work-Study Students.

Not only had they thoroughly taught the noble students a lesson, but from now on, all the menial tasks would be handled by them.

Yu Cheng leaned against the wall, glancing at Tang San.

He had been secretly plotting for a long time, even enlisting the help of the Evil Soul Master Yu Cheng to prepare a good show.

He hadn't expected Tang San to be so impulsive.

Or rather, so ruthless.

If he hadn't intervened in time, Xiao Chenyu would have likely been beaten to death on the spot.

"Tang San is solitary by nature. This is his first real step into 'society'."

Yu Cheng analyzed silently in his heart.

"In his past life, he was a disciple of the Tang Sect. Feudalistic thinking is deeply ingrained."

"In the martial arts world, human lives are as cheap as grass."

"In Tang San's eyes, whether it's the gatekeeper or Xiao Chenyu, if they offend him, they deserve to die!"

Thinking this, a sly smile crept onto Yu Cheng's lips.

This wasn't so bad.

With everyone's attention focused on Tang San, no one would suspect him.

"Creak~"

The door to Dormitory Seven opened, and Teacher Mo stood at the entrance.

His gaze quickly swept across the room, and he said sternly, "Tang San, you're coming with me to the Dean's office. Yu Cheng, Xiao Wu, you two too."

Instantly, the Work-Study Students exchanged bewildered glances.

Could it be that the noble students had gone to the Dean to complain?

Office.

Dean Nuoding sat upright, not uttering a word.

He had always been aware of the conflict between the Work-Study Students and the noble students.

He had initially thought it was just a scuffle between children, but he hadn't expected Xiao Chenyu's injuries to be so severe that he died from them!

Opposite him, Xiao Dachuan sat on a guest chair, his expression grave. Several City Guard commanders stood behind him, exuding a palpable sense of pressure.

In the left corner of the office, Yu Xiaogang stood quietly.

As Tang San's teacher, he had also been invited by the Dean to handle this matter.

"Creak~"

The door opened, and Teacher Mo led Tang San, Yu Cheng, and Xiao Wu inside.

"Teacher, you're here too?"

Tang San was the first to spot Yu Xiaogang and called out in greeting.

"Xiao San."

Yu Xiaogang nodded.

"You're Tang San!"

Xiao Dachuan abruptly stood up from his chair.

His tall frame stirred up a gust of wind, and he crossed the distance to Tang San in two steps, looking down at him.

"That's right."

Tang San nodded.

At the same time, his right hand subtly moved to the trigger mechanism of the Sleeve Arrow on his left wrist.

"This person harbors killing intent towards me!"

Dean Nuoding stood up and said, "Tang San, this is City Lord Xiao. Tell me about the fight in the small forest. Don't add or omit any details!"

"Okay," Tang San replied.

He had already made a judgment, "This person's surname is Xiao, so he must be an elder of Xiao Chenyu. They beat the younger one, and now the older one comes for revenge. They're truly birds of a feather."

Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaogang, feeling a little more at ease.

"With Teacher here, there shouldn't be any major issues."

Tang San narrated calmly.

About the conflict between Work-Study Students and noble students, the two sides agreeing to a fight in the small woods, and how he ended up going to save the situation.

"The noble students have always bullied the Work-Study Students. Xiao Chenyu was the ringleader, so he deserved to be beaten!" Tang San sneered.

"Well said, 'deserved to be beaten'!"

Xiao Dachuan slammed the armrest of his chair violently, and the sturdy wood instantly shattered.

"Even if my son had a thousand faults, he was just a child! He might have been unruly, but he didn't deserve to die!!"

His voice trembled with emotion, and tears welled up in his tiger-like eyes.

"What? Xiao Chenyu is dead!"

Tang San's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock.

Although he had beaten Xiao Chenyu severely and hadn't held back, he knew his own strength.

The other party was a Soul Master, with physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even with internal injuries, he would at most be bedridden for half a month and suffer a severe illness.

How could this be?

Dead!

"Hmph!"

Xiao Dachuan snorted coldly and ordered one of his commanders, "Liu Shan, Tang San has confessed. Arrest him!"

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, blocking Tang San.

"City Lord Xiao, Tang San wasn't the only one who fought that day."

He pointed to Yu Cheng, who was standing nearby, and said, "Yu Cheng also fought with Xiao Chenyu. How can you be so sure that Xiao Chenyu was fatally injured by Tang San?"

"Hmph!" Xiao Dachuan scoffed.

"Yu Xiaogang, are you saying that this commoner kid with two levels of Soul Power could kill an eleventh-level Battle Soul Master?"

He emphasized, "I call you Master out of respect for the Dean. You, who eat for free at the academy, have no right to lecture me!"

"You--!!!"

Yu Xiaogang's body trembled violently, and his face instantly turned red.

Seeing this, Dean Nuoding quickly tried to mediate, "City Lord Xiao, both sides in the conflict bear responsibility. Now that a tragedy has occurred, shouldn't we first discuss compensation?"

His words carried a hint of appeasement.

"Compensation?"

Xiao Dachuan acted as if he had heard a joke. His son was dead, and he still wanted compensation?

In the past few days, he had used many people to investigate Tang San.

Innate Full Soul Power.

Trash Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass.

His father was just a blacksmith in a small village.

Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. However, he was also just a waste abandoned by his sect, with no influence within it.

Having figured out the details, Xiao Dachuan dared to be so forceful.

"Liu Shan, arrest Tang San for me!"

"Yes!"

Liu Shan responded sternly.

"Stop!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen, and he shouted sternly.

Arrest Tang San?

What would a child suffer if he went to prison?

Tang San possessed Innate Full Soul Power, had Twin Martial Souls, and was the key to proving his theories. He was his only hope!

He absolutely would not allow it!

"City Lord Xiao, this happened so suddenly, could you allow us to discuss it further?"

Dean Nuoding quickly stepped forward to intervene.

Xiao Dachuan stared coldly at the Dean, his voice low, and said word by word, "I must take Tang San away! Even the Emperor couldn't stop me, I say!"

"Dean!"

Tang San looked nervous, clutching the Dean's collar like a drowning man grabbing a straw.

Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record Article Six:

When Mount Tai collapses before him, his expression remains unchanged; when the Yellow River breaches its banks, he shows no alarm. A true master of Hidden Weapons possesses a calm mind at all times.

However...

Facing Xiao Dachuan's relentless pressure, Tang San began to panic.

His opponent was the Lord of Nuoding City, possessed considerable strength, and commanded an army of Soul Masters.

Could his Sleeve Arrows win?

"If only I could create those few more powerful Hidden Weapons, perhaps I wouldn't be in such a passive situation!"

Tang San clenched his fists, his fingernails digging into his palms.

This time, he clearly felt his own weakness.

The Dean patted Tang San's head and nodded.

As a Soul Ancestor, he certainly had his own temper.

However, he was now a teacher and had to be reasonable in all matters. Tang San killing Xiao Chenyu was simply not justifiable.

"Tang San, you leave with City Lord Xiao first. I promise, I will definitely rescue you."

He turned to look at Xiao Dachuan, "City Lord Xiao, give me three days. After three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer. During this period, you cannot touch a single hair on Tang San!"

"Hmph, the Dean indeed understands reason. I will agree to your request!"

Xiao Dachuan waved his hand, and several commanders escorted Tang San, striding out of the office.

"Dean, how could you let them take Tang San away!"

Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and questioned.

He wanted to say more but suddenly caught sight of Yu Cheng and Xiao Wu watching the scene unfold from the side.

"You two go back first. The Dean and I have something to discuss."
