This torrent of scolding left Xu Sanshi stunned on the spot.

Seeing Jiang Nannan cry, Xu Sanshi finally realized he had truly done something wrong, his mind completely clouded by anger at that moment.

His angry roar hadn't brought back his dignity; instead, it caused Jiang Nannan to suffer the abuse alongside him.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

Xu Sanshi looked helplessly at Jiang Nannan, saying nothing, yet conveying everything.

Jiang Nannan, her eyes red, angrily shouted, "Xu Sanshi, don't appear in my sight again. I hate you..."

With that, Jiang Nannan wiped away her tears and left with her classmates without looking back.

Xu Sanshi stood frozen, his heart taking ten thousand critical hits. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Nannan's retreating back.

Nannan, I've made another mistake.

Every word she spoke was like a thorn piercing his heart.

Huo Yuhao and the others watched Xu Sanshi, unable to suppress a chuckle.

Huo Yuhao felt a bit pleased.

This guy is finally getting what he deserves.

Wang Dong chuckled, then turned and said with a smile, "Xu Sanshi deserves it. He was asking for it. Every girl hates him. He brought this punishment upon himself. Yuhao, let's not pity him."

Beibei shook his head helplessly and walked up to Xu Sanshi to comfort him, "Sanshi! I don't know how to comment on you right now. Why did you have to provoke that lunatic Qian Chaoyun?"

"Get lost!" Xu Sanshi, seething with anger, pushed his good brother Beibei away and walked alone on the academy's main road.

His solitary figure looked like a helpless child.

Not far away, Qian Chaoyun glanced casually and turned to leave.

He hadn't returned to the Inner Court in a long time and planned to rest for a while.

As for the matters in the Outer Court, Qian Chaoyun had no interest.

That night.

Sea God Pavilion, Inner Court.

Before long, the major incident that had erupted in the Outer Court reached the ears of the Resident Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, stirring up quite a storm in the Inner Court.

The Inner Court students were all stunned.

This guy Qian Chaoyun, in just a year and a half, has become like this. It's truly a case of righteousness turning into evil.

At the same time, Elder Mu also presided over the Sea God Pavilion meeting, summoning the Resident Elders to discuss a punishment plan.

Due to Qian Chaoyun's peculiarity, Elder Xuan, who was found slacking off and sleeping somewhere, was specifically called to this meeting. Elder Xuan was also Qian Chaoyun's esteemed teacher.

At the conference table, Elder Mu closed his eyes and said, "Everyone, please voice your opinions. We will ultimately decide on the punishment plan. This matter has caused quite a stir; the entire Outer Court knows about it."

"Xuan Zi, Qian Chaoyun is your disciple. Don't you have anything to say?"

Xuan Zi, while eating a chicken leg, thoughtfully replied, "Elder Mu, I believe what Chaoyun did was correct. Where did he go wrong? Not only is he not wrong, but I think the academy should commend him."

"Think about it yourself, Elder. Xu Sanshi overturned a stall and bullied a new student. Chaoyun, in a fit of rage, drew his sword. This is youthful spirit, this is the spirit of a true hero."

"In the Soul Fighting Arena, Xu Sanshi was outmatched. A Soul Ancestor with Four Rings couldn't defeat Qian Chaoyun, who was simply using a sword. I believe Xu Sanshi has been negligent in his cultivation and must be assigned some tasks. Otherwise, he'll keep trying to court Jiang Nannan, which violates our academy's rules."

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Mu's eyes snapped open.

That's right!

What Xuan Zi said wasn't entirely unreasonable, but Qian Chaoyun's personality seemed to be getting more and more extreme.

When they first met, he was a well-behaved child. Now, at fourteen and a half, he had become an Angel Soul Master who hated evil like an enemy. Whether it was a soul beast or a human, if he deemed them an Evil Spirit Master, he would act.

In just a year and a half, he had completed half of the Inspection Group's task quota.

However, in today's incident, Qian Chaoyun had clearly overreacted, nearly severing Xu Sanshi's vital parts with his sword.

This was not a good omen.

With this thought, Elder Mu looked at Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and asked, "Shao Zhe, what do you think?"

Yan Shaozhe seriously replied, "Elder Mu, I believe Qian Chaoyun is not wrong. His intentions were not wrong. Xu Sanshi bullied a student and should be punished. Aren't Angel Soul Masters also judges? Qian Chaoyun is full of righteousness and is naturally suited for the role of an enforcer."

"If Qian Chaoyun made a mistake, it was that his actions were too extreme, nearly severing Xu Sanshi's vital parts. He made a slight error. Punishing him by not allowing him to eat for a day would suffice."

"I think that after this incident, we should officially grant Qian Chaoyun the identity of an academy enforcer. This will allow him to better manage these troublesome students, especially those students that even we teachers find difficult to intervene with."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan immediately agreed with Yan Shaozhe's idea and said, "Shao Zhe's proposal is good. I support it!"

Although he usually didn't concern himself with such matters, Elder Xuan still had to protect his disciple at critical moments.

Qian Chaoyun had brought him honor by defeating Xu Sanshi without activating his martial soul. In the end, it all came back to him.

If one day, Qian Chaoyun, the Angel Douluo, became famous across the continent.

Having a respected teacher like Xuan Zi added to his name would make him extremely satisfied.

With this thought, Elder Xuan chuckled foolishly while eating his chicken leg, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Yan Shaozhe stood by, holding his forehead, his face filled with speechlessness.

According to his personality, he would definitely not take sides. But he couldn't stand the fact that he had planned to set up Xiao Tao and Qian Chaoyun, so he could only twist the truth and favor this young fellow.

He hoped Qian Chaoyun wouldn't cause bigger trouble later, or it would be a mess.

At this moment, Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Spirit Engineering Department, frowned and asked, "Elder Mu, has something like this happened before?"

"Yes."

Mu En nodded, recalling the past. "Half a year ago, Qian Chaoyun was on a mission to kill an Evil Spirit Master. Dai Yueheng showed mercy to a female Evil Spirit Master, wanting to persuade her to return to the righteous path, which touched Qian Chaoyun's Reverse Scale."

"Qian Chaoyun believed that the woman had killed many people and must be killed, while Dai Yueheng thought she could be persuaded to return to the righteous path. Their opinions clashed, and they eventually fought."

Qian Duoduo inquired, "What was the outcome?"

Before Mu En could speak, Yan Shaozhe responded, "That female Evil Spirit Master still died, killed by Qian Chaoyun's sword. Yueheng was injured."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.

This outcome was somewhat unexpected. Dai Yueheng was a Rank 65 Soul Emperor, while Qian Chaoyun had only just advanced to Soul King at that time.

Dai Yueheng was actually defeated in the battle?

With so many Resident Elders staring at him, Yan Shaozhe continued, "Qian Chaoyun possessed a soul bone from the Angel race. By activating the Angel Domain and forcibly using the soul bone's power, he could temporarily gain the enhancement of the Sacred, Light, and Fire Ultimate Attributes. You can probably guess the rest."

"The Sacred Angel Spirit is no ordinary top-tier spirit. Qian Chaoyun is also a direct bloodline descendant of the Angel God. Especially with his Third Soul Skill, Battle Intent Buff, he grows stronger as he fights, making the outcome of the battle difficult to predict."

The Resident Elders all gasped.

This kid Qian Chaoyun is truly heaven-defying!

Not only did he defeat Dai Yueheng, but he also executed the Evil Spirit Master.

However, what this kid did was indeed correct. Evil Spirit Masters who had committed heinous crimes deserved to be killed. Dai Yueheng was in the wrong in that incident.

Elder Xuan looked at the expressions on the faces of the Resident Elders, his mouth almost splitting into a grin.

He's my disciple!

He's really bringing me glory.

Soon, half an hour passed, and the meeting entered its final stages.

The major Resident Elders unanimously agreed that Qian Chaoyun was merely overzealous and not gravely at fault. He was to be confined to the inner court for three days and forbidden from going to the outer court.

Xu Sanshi bullied new students, damaging the academy's reputation. He caused great trouble trying to win the favor of female students. In the end, he was dispatched to execute an Inspection Group mission and had his academic credits deducted.

Finally.

Yan Shaozhe casually took the Shrek disciplinary token from Elder Mu, instructing him to punish disobedient students in place of the academy's disciplinary team.

At the end of the meeting, Elder Mu proposed to advance Qian Chaoyun's Inner Court Disciple assessment, forbidding him from participating in the New Student Competition.

Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo proposed that Qian Chaoyun study in the Spirit Engineering Department, but Mu En ultimately rejected their suggestion.

Soon, these matters were put into action.

The incident that caused a stir in the Outer Court was thus temporarily quelled.
