Yu Xiaogang Twisted Black into White, Losing You Ten Years of Life

"Everyone, shut up."

Having been beaten so badly in front of so many people without any ability to fight back, the humiliation in Tang San's heart was imaginable.

After today, he would practically suffer Social Death at Nuoding Academy.

"I will definitely defeat you."

Tang San flicked both hands, sending several pebbles shooting toward Lin Qi.

The reason he had remained sprawled on the ground for so long was not only because he could not accept the blow; he had also secretly picked up several stones.

His Sleeve Arrow had already been used against the Mandala Snake in the Soul Hunting Forest and had not yet been replenished.

However, with his Hidden Weapon techniques, even ordinary pebbles could display considerable power.

He refused to believe that while he could not withstand Lin Qi's attacks, Lin Qi's defense would also be flawless.

"Shameless."

"Despicable."

Another wave of rebukes rang out.

In battles between Soul Masters, no one had ever seen someone use pebbles for a sneak attack. It was simply beneath the dignity of a Soul Master.

But Tang San no longer cared. He had already suffered Social Death anyway, so what did it matter if he suffered a little more?

"Little San, this is where you're in the wrong."

Clink, clink, clink~

Lin Qi's Mountain River Sword tapped several times in his right hand, knocking down every incoming pebble.

Using the pebbles as cover, Tang San once again charged into Lin Qi's close range.

"Those who lack martial virtue should be punished."

Lin Qi calmly watched Tang San's reddened eyes.

"You forced me to do this."

At close range, Tang San once more used his Hidden Weapon techniques to fire more than a dozen pebbles. Ignoring defense entirely, he viciously smashed his right fist toward Lin Qi.

At the same time, his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul emerged, and he used his First Soul Skill again.

Tang San had already exhausted every method he possessed.

He refused to believe that Lin Qi could still emerge unscathed from his net-like barrage of attacks.

Lin Qi still did not use his First Soul Skill.

The blade of the Mountain River Sword trembled slightly, and strands of Sword Qi scattered in all directions. Whether it was Blue Silver Bind or the pebble Hidden Weapons, all were shredded to pieces by the Sword Qi.

The Mountain River Sword Dao itself possessed tremendous power and an extremely high ceiling. Sword Qi Like Silk was merely a basic skill.

The pebbles turned to dust, while Blue Silver Grass scattered through the air.

Tang San, who had likewise closed in on Lin Qi, naturally could not escape.

Even though he sensed a powerful threat, he still did not stop. He was willing to risk his life just to land one punch on Lin Qi.

Sharp tearing sounds rang out in succession.

Dozens of cuts instantly tore open Tang San's clothes, and blood immediately soaked them red.

This time, Lin Qi did not even use his fist. He simply raised a leg and kicked Tang San flying.

"Little San."

Yu Xiaogang cried out in grief and rushed forward, tightly embracing Tang San.

Tang San was no longer merely disheveled. He looked utterly miserable, covered in blood from head to toe.

"Lin Qi, this was only a spar between classmates. How could you strike so heavily?"

With tears in his eyes, Yu Xiaogang accused Lin Qi.

Lin Qi gave him a cold glance, and Yu Xiaogang could not help shuddering.

At the same time, cold sweat rose on his back, as though he had been targeted by two ancient Fierce Beasts.

"What a shameless old bastard. As expected of Tang San's teacher. Tang San must have learned all his shameless tricks from you, right?"

Xiao Wu fully embraced the role of Lin Qi's lackey—no, more accurately, his admirer and defender.

Even children could not be fooled by Yu Xiaogang's method of twisting black into white.

"Who is this old guy?"

"No idea. I heard someone call him some kind of Master."

"Pah, Master? You people don't know Yu Xiaogang's background, do you?"

Some upperclassmen began explaining the details of this theoretical Master Yu Xiaogang to the others, focusing especially on just how useless he was.

"Is he also a teacher at Nuoding Academy?" someone asked.

"He isn't. Yu Xiaogang spends all day with his nose in the air and never even glances at students like us."

"A person like him becoming Tang San's master and disciple is a perfect match."

"A waste teacher teaching a waste disciple. That truly is a fitting inheritance."

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling.

He had heard the words "waste" far too often in his youth, yet they still sounded unbearably harsh.

"If you dare spout any more nonsense, I'll have the Dean expel all of you."

Yu Xiaogang viciously swept his gaze over those discussing him.

"Yu Xiaogang, are you threatening my students?"

The Dean and Master Meng approached. Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, the Dean immediately spoke coldly.

He had allowed Yu Xiaogang to stay at Nuoding Academy not because he valued Yu Xiaogang's abilities, but because he had to consider the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

If Yu Xiaogang had not belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he would have thrown out this man who could neither eat enough nor accomplish anything long ago.

And now Yu Xiaogang actually dared threaten Nuoding Academy's students?

"I..." Yu Xiaogang panicked for a moment.

But he quickly thought that even if he had misspoken, the Dean would not pursue the matter too harshly out of consideration for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

This time, Yu Xiaogang was wrong.

"We were friends, so I took you in. But after today, Nuoding Academy has no place for you. Pack your things and get out."

"Good!"

The students erupted in cheers.

Yu Xiaogang's words had truly frightened quite a few people.

After all, the students attending Nuoding Academy were not particularly talented.

Once expelled, they might lose their chance of becoming Soul Masters forever.

"The Dean is wise."

"Long live the Dean."

"You... you actually dared tell me to get out?" Yu Xiaogang glared furiously at the Dean.

"You will not find it so easy to leave."

Master Meng spoke.

He first gave Lin Qi a gentle look, then said:

"You dared twist black into white against my student. You really have quite the nerve. Making Little Qi unhappy means you must pay a price."

"What are you going to do? I belong to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Xiaogang retreated in terror again and again, no longer even caring about holding Tang San.

"Without shame or decency, are you worthy of being called a 'Master'?"

Master Meng showed no sign of being intimidated. His Rotten Wood Martial Soul quietly emerged.

Gray mist enveloped Yu Xiaogang's terrified face.

"Didn't you refuse to believe that a Waste Martial Soul like Rotten Wood could cultivate into a Titled Douluo? Then experience the power of the Rotten Wood Martial Soul for yourself."

"What are you doing? Stop at once."

Yu Xiaogang's terrified cries came from within the gray mist.

He flailed his hands wildly, trying to disperse the mist, but it had no effect whatsoever.

In truth, Yu Xiaogang felt no pain and did not even feel that he had been harmed.

But it was precisely this unknown that made him tremble with fear.

Finally, the gray mist dispersed, and Yu Xiaogang looked at Master Meng in confusion.

Was that it? Could it be that he was only fierce with his words, but was actually still wary of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

Just as Yu Xiaogang thought this, waves of shocked cries rose around him.

The weakened Tang San also stared at him in astonishment.

"Teacher, you... why have you aged so much?"

"What?"

Yu Xiaogang was greatly alarmed and hurriedly took out a mirror.

After being enveloped by the gray mist for a short while, Yu Xiaogang's hair had turned gray-white, and many wrinkles had appeared on his face and hands.

"Making you age by ten years is merely a small punishment and a warning."

Only then did Master Meng speak coldly.

"No... no... no..."

Looking at his greatly aged reflection in the mirror, Yu Xiaogang threw back his head and roared.
