But when the young members of the main branch wanted to do the same, they found themselves back at square one.
Yu Dalong had already been shameless enough to attack Wang Chuan. Could they be just as shameless?
And based on the information they had, they would need at least a Soul Ancestor from the main branch to defeat Wang Chuan.
But people of that level could only be found in Thunder Academy, and they would have to be upperclassmen.
What meaning was there in bullying a child with an adult, even if they won?
For a time, the main branch members in the Clan School were all left in an awkward position. After racking their brains without finding a solution, they could only report the matter to their elders once again.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory, True Dragon Mountain, the main peak of the Nine Dragons Mountain Range.
Since Yu Yuanzhen was currently only an early-stage Title Douluo, his strength was not enough to secure the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's position among the Upper Three Sects. Thus, he was focused entirely on cultivation and had little interest in managing the clan's day-to-day affairs.
Therefore, this meeting was presided over by the second-in-command, Yu Luomian.
Yu Luomian was already in his fifties, but thanks to his Soul Douluo cultivation, he still looked like a man in his thirties or forties.
Combined with his burly muscles, he cut a rather imposing figure.
Below the main seat sat the elders in charge of He Mountain, Gu Mountain, Teng Mountain, Ba Mountain, Dou Mountain, Lanfeng Mountain, Zidian Mountain, and Nanwang Mountain.
The elders wore expressions ranging from mockery to disdain, yet all of them had turned their eyes toward Yu Luomian.
After all, this incident had been caused by his useless son.
Originally, after Wang Chuan defeated that main branch trash and was bullied for it, the matter should have come to an end.
But Yu Dalong had insisted on showing off his abilities, dragging the sensitive subject of the main branch being inferior to a branch line back into the spotlight.
This had happened again and again, seriously undermining the main branch's authority. Thus, these elders, who usually acted independently, had no choice but to gather and discuss a solution.
Seeing that Yu Luomian remained silent, the elder from He Mountain asked impatiently.
"Second-in-command, staying silent won't help. Your son caused this mess, so hurry up and come up with a solution for us.
As for that brat, we have no ideas either. Don't expect us to bear the blame!"
With someone taking the lead, the remaining elders quickly chimed in, but Yu Luomian's expression remained calm and unruffled.
Then Yu Luomian suddenly said, "If the problem cannot be solved, why not solve the person who created it?"
The hall fell into dead silence.
Then it was the He Mountain elder again, but this time, he slammed the table and rose to his feet in fury.
"Yu Luomian, you bastard! What do you mean by that?
That boy may be from a branch line, but he is still a member of our clan!
Do you think he is one of those peasants outside? That you can kill him whenever you please?
Are you trying to make us completely lose the support of the branch lines, leaving us with no one to use? Do you want the main branch to handle all future clan missions ourselves!?
Yu Luomian, remember this!
The reason our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can stand among the Upper Three Sects is not merely because we have a Title Douluo overseeing us!
It is because we have maintained unity from top to bottom! Do not pull this kind of reckless stunt!
If it were that simple, we would have done it long ago!"
The other elders nodded in agreement with the He Mountain elder's words.
As the weakest of the Upper Three Sects, when the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not have a Title Douluo standing guard, all they had to rely on was unity!
Yet in the face of the He Mountain elder's questioning, Yu Luomian remained indifferent. He waved a hand, signaling for him to sit down, then said,
"You have misunderstood, elders. How could I not understand the foundation of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? The handling I spoke of naturally does not involve such bloody measures.
But saying it outright would be rather dull.
When you return, ask those beneath you yourselves. I believe your people will soon tell you the result of this handling.
Now, compared to such a trivial matter, we should discuss the clan's future."
By the end, Yu Luomian wore a mysterious smile, giving the gathered elders an inscrutable impression.
Thus, compared to the tedious discussion of clan affairs, the elders were more curious about just what Yu Luomian had arranged.
Why had none of them thought of a good way to deal with this?
Meanwhile, in the Clan School's headmaster's office.
Bang!
Wang Chuan slammed his palm viciously against the desk. He showed no sign of backing down just because the old man before him was a highly respected figure among the branch lines, and he shouted angrily,
"Headmaster, explain this to me! What do you mean, I've graduated? I'm still a kid!
If I do not go to school, where am I supposed to go!?"
Just moments ago, Wang Chuan had been planning to leave the classroom to train when his homeroom teacher stopped him.
He had then been sent to the headmaster's office, where all Clan School affairs were managed, only to learn that he had "graduated."
Faced with Wang Chuan's questioning, the headmaster, whose hairstyle had already reached the halfway point of a powerhouse's look, remained very calm.
Even as Wang Chuan slammed the desk, he still had the leisure to lift his teacup, blow at the goji berries floating inside, take a sip, and only then speak in an earnest tone.
"Student Wang Chuan, of course I know you are a child.
But I also know that your strength is far from as simple as it appears.
Your physical strength should already rival that of a Soul Ancestor, shouldn't it? I have managed the Clan School for so many years, yet this is the first time I have seen a monster like you.
As for studying, hehe.
Student Wang Chuan, you must be joking. Everyone in the academy already knows that you have taught yourself all the courses, which is why your teachers allowed you to train freely.
Therefore, in my judgment, the Clan School has nothing left to teach you. That is why I specially informed you that you had graduated."
At the end, the headmaster looked at Wang Chuan with a face full of appreciation, as though he were looking at a junior he was proud of, and said sincerely,
"Go, child. Do not remain obsessed with this paradise built for young dragons.
Your future should lie across the vast continent. I look forward to the day when I hear of your deeds from other Spirit Masters."
After that flood of praise and inspirational drivel, Wang Chuan's eyes were filled with bewilderment.
What he said actually seemed to make some sense...
My ass!
Wang Chuan was not some ignorant little kid. Back when he had first entered the Clan School, he had already asked around and learned that students could only leave early or skip grades by requesting it themselves.
He was the first person ever to be forcibly graduated ahead of time!
Of course, as the headmaster had said, Wang Chuan had long since taught himself all the relevant courses.
Thus, he remained in the Clan School not to learn knowledge, but because after every intense training session, he could gorge himself on large amounts of Spirit Beast meat there.
After all, only the Clan School provided free meals due to clan subsidies. Everywhere else charged money!
