The biggest difference between a Beast Martial Soul and a Weapon Martial Soul in the early stages is Martial Soul Possession, which attaches the beast's power to oneself, thereby enhancing the body's strength.

At the same time, it also boosts the body's immunity—the more top-tier the Beast Martial Soul, the stronger the immunity.

Coupled with Ye Wen's First Soul Skill having a thirty percent effect reduction, how could Tang San's unawakened Blue Silver Grass possibly paralyze him?

Ye Wen didn't give Tang San another chance to get up. He kicked him hard, pinned him to the ground, and started beating him mercilessly.

Bam bam bam!

Smack smack!

Every punch landed solidly on Tang San's body, his face, every part of him—even his groin wasn't spared.

Tang San curled up, screaming in agony.

"Ahhh!"

Ye Wen even stomped hard on Tang San's fingers to prevent him from using Hidden Weapons later.

Tang San had lived two lives, but he had never been beaten like this before. His pride was deeply wounded, and he had already developed a murderous intent toward Ye Wen, but right now, he was completely powerless.

Before long, Tang San was battered and bruised, lying limp on the ground.

Ye Wen stopped the beating, placed one foot on Tang San's face, and looked down at him coldly from above: "Tang San, that's enough for today. But I'll be back for you."

He withdrew his foot from Tang San's face and turned to leave.

"You! Go to hell!"

Tang San glared at Ye Wen's back with murderous intent. Ignoring the searing pain in his fingers, he produced two Silver Needles and threw them instantly.

The third rule of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: if you confirm an opponent is an enemy and they deserve death, show no mercy—otherwise, you'll only bring trouble upon yourself.

Tang San had already made up his mind to kill!

Swish!

Clink clink!

However, the Silver Needles struck the Demon Whale Armor wrapped around Ye Wen, their tips instantly bending and falling to the ground.

"How... how can it not break through his defense?" Tang San froze, his face turning extremely ugly.

Ye Wen's First Soul Skill wasn't just a boost—it also granted terrifying defensive power through the Demon Whale Armor, especially against piercing attacks.

He slowly turned around and shot Tang San a murderous glare.

That single look made Tang San fear Ye Wen for the first time!

For the first time in this world, he felt afraid of someone, felt like someone might actually kill him.

Ye Wen withdrew his gaze, glanced at the Silver Needles on the ground, and said, "Hidden Weapons? Don't bother throwing things that tickle me like that again."

"Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, let's go."

Just then, Xiao Wu rushed in from outside the classroom. Seeing Tang San beaten all over with injuries, she immediately ran to his side: "Third Brother!!!"

"Third Brother, how... how did you get beaten like this!?"

"Was it them!?"

"Xiao Wu."

"Damn it! Ye Wen, I won't let you off!" Xiao Wu said with a murderous glare at Ye Wen.

"Is that so?"

Feeling Xiao Wu's killing intent, Ye Wen turned back and met her gaze. At that moment, a decision suddenly formed in his mind: "Little rabbit, just stay by your Third Brother's side for now. When I appear before you again, the days you and your Third Brother have together will be over."

He had made up his mind—to subdue Xiao Wu, to take her after she and Tang San had built deep feelings!

To make her his servant!

To make Tang San experience what it felt like to have the woman he loved completely taken away!

Just then, the principal also rushed in, furious: "You! On your first day of school, you beat up a teacher and a classmate! You're expelled!"

"You're wrong, Principal. We're not being expelled—we're dropping out ourselves."

Ye Wen walked over to the principal, swiftly reached out, retrieved the money the principal had hidden in his sleeve, and strutted out of the classroom.

Was he joking? Did they really think they came here to study?

Being students just made it easier to move around the academy. He had never planned to stay here. Now that his goal was achieved, it was time for Ye Wen to leave Nuoding Academy.

For now, his main objectives were, first, to suppress Tang San and snatch away his opportunities as early as possible.

Second, to subdue Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Ye Wen didn't have Gu Yuena the Silver Dragon King's sense of mission or responsibility to revive soul beasts. He subdued them only to build his own power—whether for dealing with Tang San later or for operating on the continent, it would all work to his advantage.

And Nuoding City wasn't too far from the Star Dou Great Forest, so he planned to head there first and bring Da Ming and Er Ming under his command.

And so, the three of them left Nuoding Academy, becoming the fastest students in the academy's history to go from enrollment to withdrawal.

But the moment they stepped out of the academy gates, Ye Wen's eyelids suddenly began twitching for no reason. With each twitch, an inexplicable sense of unease rose in his heart.

This bad feeling grew stronger and stronger, as if it were telling him that something was about to happen.

Ye Wen suddenly stopped, his gaze sweeping the surroundings.

Xiao Bai asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Boss?"

Ye Wen shook his head. "I don't know. Something feels off."

Evil Tiger also asked, "What feels off?"

Ye Wen didn't respond, his mind racing in deep thought. Soon, a name surfaced: Tang Hao.

"Shouldn't be, right? Sure, I beat up Tang San, but right now I'm a six-year-old kid. Tang Hao is a Titled Douluo, a middle-aged man in his dozens. There's no way he'd lay a hand on a six-year-old child, is there?"

Ye Wen knew that Tang Hao had actually been secretly protecting his son, Tang San.

Back when Tang San went to Shrek Academy and got injured by Zhao Wuji, the protective father Tang Hao showed up and beat Zhao Wuji up.

But Zhao Wuji was a senior, after all—a senior striking a junior. Tang Hao stepping in to protect his son could be justified.

But Ye Wen was of the same generation, even two years younger than Tang San. Would Tang Hao really have the nerve to make a move? Would he have no shame?

It felt like, in the real world, an adult going after someone else's child, just a few years old—it would invite moral condemnation from society.

But then again, Tang Hao might not care about face at all, with no scruples whatsoever.

"Wait." Ye Wen suddenly thought of another possibility. "Or maybe Tang Hao has sensed my identity as a Soul Beast?"

Ye Wen pondered, but no matter what, he had to be prepared.

"Evil Tiger, Xiao Bai, come here."

He gestured for them to gather close, then laid out his plan.

"We understand."

Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai nodded. The three of them quickly headed toward the restaurant across the street.

Ye Wen immediately rushed into the restaurant's restroom, transformed into his Semi-human Form, draped himself in a long robe that covered his entire body, then took Evil Tiger and Xiao Bai by the hand and walked out.

If it really was Tang Hao, he had to change forms in advance. If he transformed right in front of Tang Hao, his identity as a Soul Beast would be completely exposed.
