After Xiao Wu finished recovering, she found an excuse to leave, saying that her family wanted her to hunt for her First Soul Ring. Once she absorbed it, she would come back and teach Tang San a lesson.
At noon, Tang San also awoke from his cultivation and headed to the Cafeteria with Wang Sheng and the other Work-Study Students.
Tang San was somewhat curious. He wondered whether the cafeteria scene from the Original Work would come true for him.
It would have been fine if they had never come, but now that they were here, he would naturally take this opportunity to teach the other side a proper lesson. Once he established his position in the academy, things would finally settle down.
As the Boss of the Work-Study Students, Tang San was not short of money. He naturally took his followers to eat the best food, and after tasting the delicious dishes, Wang Sheng and the others were moved to tears of gratitude.
"Yo, who did I think it was? So it's you bunch of dead poor ghosts, Wang Sheng!"
"I didn't expect you to be eating such a good lunch. Did you steal the money from somewhere?"
"It must be dirty money! Has anyone here had money stolen?"
"If any money goes missing, it must have been stolen by this bunch of poor ghosts!"
Just then, a group of youths entered through the door. Their clothes were clearly much better than those of the Work-Study Students. With their sharp mouths and beady eyes, they were as mean as could be, and the moment they saw Wang Sheng and the others, they began mocking them.
"Bastards! What did you just say, you sons of bitches?!"
"This is a treat from our Boss Tang!"
"Shut your filthy mouths! Nothing decent can come out of a dog's mouth!"
Wang Sheng and the other Work-Study Students could not stand being humiliated like that. They immediately rose to their feet and started cursing back at the other side.
Tang San liked a quiet environment while eating and did not enjoy being disturbed.
He had been eating happily, but this sudden scene put him in a terrible mood.
He admitted that he was not a good person, but he absolutely could not stand this group of Noble Students before him.
Put plainly, they were merely a bunch of lowlifes.
His identity and background were enough for him to look down on everything here.
If they wanted to compete with him in background and status, who here could possibly compare?
That useless Yu Xiaogang?
What if he smashed him with a hammer and turned him into a meat patty?
"Boss Tang?"
"Yo, I didn't expect you Work-Study Students to get a new boss. Wang Sheng, you're really useless. You've been replaced by a newcomer."
"The newcomer's pretty rich. He's quite good at buying people's loyalty."
"But you lot can only eat on the First Floor for the rest of your lives, while we eat on the Second Floor!"
The Noble Students continued mocking them.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!
Just then, Tang San picked up the Wood Chopsticks beside him. Using the technique of a Hidden Weapon that he had memorized, he shot them out. In an instant, every one of them struck a Noble Student, sending them tumbling to the floor as they clutched their stomachs and rolled around in pain.
The sudden appearance of this scene left Wang Sheng and the others stunned.
Boss Tang was so strong!
Tang San did not even look at them. He said calmly, "Get lost, or you'll be lying here forever."
"Yes, yes..."
The Noble Students were frightened and immediately fled.
They looked as though they were going to find someone to back them up.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Yu Xiaogang, who was eating on the Second Floor.
"What a profound technique. Its power is Not Simple."
"He seems to be a promising talent."
Yu Xiaogang had also been dazzled by Tang San's display.
After Tang San and the others finished eating, they left the Cafeteria.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang also moved, leaving first through another route.
When Tang San and the others were halfway there, just as they were about to reach the dormitory—
"Wait."
Yu Xiaogang appeared from nowhere and blocked the group's path.
"He's Master. Why would he appear here?"
"He's nothing more than a freeloader who lives in the academy and eats and drinks for free."
Wang Sheng and the others began discussing Yu Xiaogang in low voices as soon as they saw him.
Tang San naturally heard them as well.
"What do you want?" Tang San asked indifferently.
This guy must have come looking for me.
Ignoring everyone else's words, Yu Xiaogang looked straight at Tang San and slowly said, "You're Tang San, right? I have something I'd like to discuss with you alone. It concerns the future development of your Martial Soul."
He clasped his hands behind his back and slightly raised his chin, revealing an arrogant expression.
He was the Continent's Number One Theoretical Master recognized by the Spirit Hall.
"What is it? Just say it here. Why make it so mysterious?"
"My Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. There's nothing shameful about it."
Tang San refused to follow his script and replied calmly.
Both his tone and his eyes revealed disdain and contempt for the crew-cut man before him.
"Exactly! Don't even think about fooling our Boss Tang!" Wang Sheng and the others immediately echoed him.
"This..." Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened. He had not expected Tang San and this group to be so uncooperative.
Damnable peasants. How dare you defy my words? If I were still the person I used to be, you wouldn't have survived... Hmph!
Yu Xiaogang was extremely displeased inside, but he maintained a cold, profound, and inscrutable expression on the surface.
"Tang San, this matter is extraordinary. I must speak with you alone. The fewer people who know, the better. If you refuse to listen, you'll regret it." Yu Xiaogang shook his head as he spoke.
"Say it if you want. No one's forcing you."
"Besides, we're not familiar with you. Please don't act as though we're close the moment you arrive. I'm worried people might misunderstand."
"Please move aside, Master. You're blocking the way."
"Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to report you to the Principal for deliberately harassing us."
Tang San replied with disdain.
"You!" Yu Xiaogang was furious.
Tang San was actually refusing to give him even the slightest respect?
However, when he considered that Tang San might very well possess Twin Martial Souls, and that they could report him to the Principal, he could only give up.
Tang San and the others left with disdainful expressions, not even sparing Yu Xiaogang a glance.
"Hmph, some youths are beyond teaching!"
"I never thought this Tang San would be so ignorant and foolish, missing out on the opportunity to meet me, the Continent's Number One Theoretical Master!"
"But just you wait. I won't let this go so easily. Anyone I take an interest in won't escape my grasp."
"We'll see!"
Yu Xiaogang thought coldly to himself. Then he snorted and walked away, flinging his sleeves.
There had been too many people present for today's meeting, so it could only end in failure.
It seemed that in the future, he would have to approach Tang San when no one else was around and he was alone.
Perhaps Tang San had also been constrained by his status as Boss and had merely gone along with the others.
Once he was alone, things might be different.
Yu Xiaogang consoled himself with these thoughts.
He attributed all of Tang San's current behavior to Wang Sheng and the other Work-Study Students.
Tang San was merely maintaining the dignity of his position as Boss.
This time, he had also been too rash and had failed to consider that point.
The more he thought about it, the more he managed to comfort himself, and his anger gradually subsided.
"Boss, you absolutely mustn't let that Master fool you. I heard his Martial Soul is a pig that can only fart. If he didn't have some friendship with the Principal, he wouldn't be able to freeload here."
"If you ask me, the Principal is simply too merciful. If it were up to me, I would've kicked him out long ago."
"That's right. I heard that even at his age, he's only Level 29. What could someone like that possibly teach us?"
"No one in the academy respects him."
Along the way, Wang Sheng and the others immediately shared everything they knew about that useless Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San smiled. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
