Taking advantage of the opening, Xiao Wu immediately tried to capture Yang Ziyuan.
"Second Soul Skill: Charm!"
Seeing this, Yang Ziyuan smiled.
Did she take him for an easy target?
She actually dared to use a mental Soul Skill right in front of him?
Just as Xiao Wu tried to control Yang Ziyuan, she realized that his spiritual power was countless times greater than hers!
The next second, the backlash from her broken Charm hit her.
"Pfft!"
She spat out a mouthful of blood. Xiao Wu's body went limp and fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
Watching this, Yang Wuhui curled his lip in disdain.
"Little girl, you've got plenty of tricks. But what did you think would happen if you tried to match spiritual power with Ziyuan?"
Only after Yang Ziyuan and Yang Wuhui had left did the terrified work-study students run off to inform the teachers.
Before long, Chen Fei, the dean of Notting Academy, arrived with a group of teachers and blocked Yang Ziyuan and Yang Wuhui's way.
"Your Excellency, you barged into my academy without cause and abducted my student. Isn't that going too far? Aren't you afraid the whole world will laugh at you for this?"
Looking at the two men, Chen Fei asked with a frown.
Although the other man was a Titled Douluo he couldn't afford to offend, Chen Fei was still the head of a school!
If he didn't even dare to ask what was going on, who would ever dare to enroll at his academy?
Besides, he wasn't afraid they would do anything reckless.
After all, before coming here, he had already notified Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team.
If the two men didn't want Spirit Hall to arrest them, they wouldn't dare lay a hand on him or the others!
"Your student?"
Hearing this, Yang Wuhui couldn't help but smile.
Then he challenged him. "Do you know your student is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
"How is that possible?"
At those words, Chen Fei froze.
To him, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was something out of legend.
How could one possibly be at the academy?
The teachers and students nearby were just as incredulous when they learned that Xiao Wu, who had been with them every day, was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
"Oh my god, Sister Xiao Wu is actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
"I knew it! How could a girl be so violent? Turns out she's a Soul Beast! Well, that explains it!"
"Sister Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? My First Soul Ring is only seventy years old. It probably isn't even a fraction as powerful as hers!"
Hearing everyone's chatter, Chen Fei's expression darkened.
A Soul Beast had been right there in his academy, and he, the dean, hadn't even noticed!
"What, you don't believe me? Well, that's understandable! Before you become Titled Douluo, you can't see through a Soul Beast's disguise!"
"Anyway, now that we've cleared things up, we should be on our way!"
Just as they reached the academy gates, a boy in blue blocked their path.
"Who are you?"
"Tang San!"
As it turned out, after Xiao Wu got into trouble, the work-study students split into two groups. One went to inform the teachers, while the other went to notify Tang San.
Everyone knew how close Tang San and Xiao Wu were, so they had hurried to tell him.
When Tang San heard Xiao Wu was in trouble, he dropped his work at the blacksmith shop. After rushing over as fast as he could, he finally managed to stop Yang Ziyuan and Yang Wuhui.
Now that the person they were looking for had appeared, Yang Ziyuan immediately sent Yang Wuhui a mental transmission, telling him that Tang San was Tang Hao's son.
Yang Wuhui was astonished when he heard the message.
But he quickly recovered.
It seemed Ziyuan hadn't come here just for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!
"Where's Xiao Wu? What did you do to her? Give her back to me!"
Looking at Tang San, who was about to lose control, Yang Ziyuan said with a smile, "Calm down. She's fine!"
Only after hearing that Xiao Wu was unharmed did Tang San gradually calm down.
"What do you want? What will it take for you to give Xiao Wu back to me?"
"Who's causing trouble?"
Before Yang Ziyuan could respond, a squad of heavily armed soldiers rushed over and surrounded them.
Seeing that Spirit Hall's Enforcement Team had arrived, Chen Fei hurried over and told them what had just happened.
After hearing the details, the Enforcement Team captain hurried to Yang Wuhui and said ingratiatingly, "Your Excellency, I've got a general understanding of what happened. You weren't in the wrong. But could you let us take that Soul Beast back with us? This is my jurisdiction, after all, and monitoring Soul Beasts is also Spirit Hall's responsibility."
Hearing this, Yang Wuhui gave him a cold look.
"Why should I hand her over to you? Just because you're a Level 43 Soul Ancestor, am I supposed to give you that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast so you can claim the credit and collect a reward?"
His little scheme exposed, the captain's expression changed at once.
"Your Excellency, I know Titled Douluo are powerful. But surely you wouldn't go up against Spirit Hall just for that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
If the other man really took the Soul Beast away, and his superiors sent people to investigate, he would be in serious trouble!
So he had to find a way to stop them from taking the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
"Hmph! Since when do I need you to tell me what to do? Spirit Hall may be powerful, but that doesn't give you the right to threaten me!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a powerful pressure descended on the captain.
"Boom!"
Under that crushing pressure, he dropped to his knees.
"Your Excellency, spare me!"
The captain's face flushed red.
He fought with all his strength, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get back up.
At that moment, Yang Ziyuan stepped forward.
"Grandpa, a little punishment is enough. There's no need to make a big deal of it."
While Yang Wuhui was teaching the captain a lesson, Yang Ziyuan had already searched the area with his spiritual power.
But, strangely, Tang Hao wasn't with Tang San!
Thinking back to the original story, he suddenly realized that Tang Hao might be with the Blue Silver Emperor at this point—or perhaps he had gone to cause trouble for Spirit Hall.
Otherwise, Yang Ziyuan really couldn't imagine where he might have gone.
At his grandson's plea, Yang Wuhui withdrew his pressure and snorted. "Hmph! Get out of here!"
The captain breathed a sigh of relief.
He then bowed respectfully to Yang Ziyuan in thanks and stepped aside.
He knew that if Yang Ziyuan hadn't pleaded for him, even if Yang Wuhui had killed him, Spirit Hall wouldn't avenge him.
At most, they would use the incident as an excuse to pressure Yang Wuhui and demand the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
After confirming that Tang Hao wasn't there, Yang Ziyuan finally turned his attention to Tang San.
When Tang San heard that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast, his expression grew dazed.
But he soon regained his composure.
"Xiao Wu is my little sister. You want to take her away? You'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Chen Fei was alarmed. He hurried over and grabbed Tang San.
"Your Excellency, young sir, Tang San is just a child and doesn't know any better. Please don't hold it against him. I'll take him away right now, hehe!"
As he spoke, Chen Fei pulled Tang San aside with an ingratiating smile, hoping to get out of this mess.
But after only a couple of steps, he felt a powerful force resisting him.
He looked back and saw the stubborn look in Tang San's eyes.
Chen Fei leaned close and pleaded in a hushed voice, "Tang San, these two are beyond your reach! Listen to me and come with me!"
