Grandmaster Gets Beaten Up

Just then, at the entrance to Notting Academy, a mature beauty in a revealing long dress walked by.

Ning Chuan glanced at Yu Xiaogang. You look down on me, huh? Then I'll make you suffer a little—and give myself something to laugh about.

Selection complete.

The System text changed.

Host: Ning Chuan

Spirit: Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword, Gold Devouring Insect

Soul Power: Level 5

Ning Chuan's actions happened to be seen by the gatekeeper, who had been ogling the beauty. He instantly froze.

Holy shit!

There was a badge engraved with a longsword on the beauty's left breast. Looking at the four longswords on the badge, the gatekeeper silently gave Ning Chuan a thumbs-up.

You dared to grab even a Soul Grandmaster's ass. I don't even admire my own uncle—I admire you!

You're fucking fierce!

"You bastard! You dared take advantage of me? You're courting death!"

The gatekeeper secretly chuckled, ready to watch Ning Chuan make a fool of himself.

But the beauty slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face.

Smack!

"Ma'am, it really wasn't Grandmaster who touched you. It was him."

Tang San pointed at Ning Chuan. Ning Chuan's little move had not escaped his notice.

You little bastard, you actually dared betray me. But System Bro's charm is far beyond anything you can match. Just wait till I deal with you later... Ning Chuan blinked his large innocent eyes and put on the look of a victim forced into this. "That's right, Sister. I accidentally touched you. Please don't blame Grandmaster. Grandmaster is a good man. Just now, the gatekeeper failed to extort an entry fee from us and claimed that we work-study students' Spirit Certificates were fake, refusing to let us in. It was Grandmaster who stepped in and agreed to bring us inside to register."

"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't do it either. Besides, I was with this child named Tang San the whole time, and I was holding this child's Spirit Certificate. How could I possibly have touched you?"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly raised the Spirit Certificate in his hand.

Though he usually wore an aloof and indifferent expression, he was actually just the sort who fawned over those above him and scorned those beneath him, who only knew how to throw his weight around internally while acting weak and helpless outside. The kind who lived off a woman while still acting high and mighty.

When dealing with people who genuinely treated him well, no matter how high their Soul Power was, he would never give them a cold shoulder.

But when it came to a stranger, especially when there was no one around to help him, he immediately cowered.

Hearing that it was Ning Chuan, Old Jack and Old Tom looked nervous as well and wanted to step forward to plead for him.

The gatekeeper's mouth twitched violently. He was eagerly hoping the beauty would beat Ning Chuan to death. Who told him to drag him into this?

But after the beauty glanced at the Spirit Certificate in Yu Xiaogang's hand, she slapped him again.

And as she struck, everyone vaguely saw pink light flickering in her palm.

Ning Chuan knew that she was serious this time. She had even used Soul Power.

Bang!

After being slapped by a Soul Grandmaster using Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang was sent flying. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and several of his molars were knocked out.

Tang San's Spirit Certificate flew from his hand, but Tang San swiftly caught it.

Tang San shook his head helplessly. From the woman's move that had sent Yu Xiaogang flying, it was not hard to tell that her strength greatly surpassed his own. Even if he used the Silent Sleeve Arrow hidden in his cuff, he would not be her match. It was better not to provoke her.

Besides, he had no relation to this Grandmaster. Pointing out the culprit for him just now had already been more than enough.

"Outrageous! You even dared threaten a work-study student into giving false testimony. I'll beat you to death today, you shameless old pervert! You, tell me—who touched me just now?"

The beauty glared fiercely at the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper swallowed hard. He knew that if he gave "false testimony," he would probably end up like Yu Xiaogang.

So he raised a hand and pointed at the dizzy, disoriented Yu Xiaogang.

Having confirmed her target, the beauty rushed over and began raining pink fists down on Yu Xiaogang.

These were not the soft pink fists of a little girl acting coquettishly, but fists genuinely coated in Soul Power.

She beat Yu Xiaogang until he fled with his head in his hands.

The commotion quickly caught the attention of Notting Academy's teachers.

Soon, several teachers rushed over after being informed by students.

Seeing that the person beating Yu Xiaogang was a female Soul Grandmaster, the leading teacher's heart skipped a beat, but he still hurried forward to ask, "Respected Soul Grandmaster, may I ask why you are assaulting someone at Notting Academy?"

Seeing that teachers from Notting Academy had arrived, the beauty stopped at the right moment. A red light flashed from the pink bracelet on her left arm, and she took out a sheet of golden paper. "I am Notting Academy's newly appointed Dean of Instruction. My Spirit is the Hidden Fragrance Sword, and I am a level thirty-seven Agility Attack System Battle Soul Grandmaster. This is my appointment letter."

As she spoke, two yellow Soul Rings and one purple Soul Ring rose from beneath her feet. Pink light surged from her right hand, and a dark-red slender sword that emitted a fragrance appeared in her grip.

"So it's Dean of Instruction Louise."

The teachers had long known that the academy would be receiving a Dean of Instruction. Upon seeing the appointment letter, their attitude immediately became more respectful.

Having established her identity, Louise began pressing the matter. "Is this so-called Grandmaster also a teacher at the academy? And what is going on with this gatekeeper?"

"Grandmaster is indeed affiliated with our academy, though he is not a teacher. As for Little Huo, he is the nephew of Horton, the former Dean of Instruction."

The leading teacher looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was lying unconscious on the ground, then at the terrified gatekeeper, and let out a breath.

Louise snorted. "So one is a freeloader, and the other got his position through connections. One acted like a hooligan in the street, while the other made things difficult for work-study students. If they didn't give him benefits, he wouldn't let them enter. From now on, I never want to see either of them at the academy again..."

"Understood, Dean of Instruction. We were already planning to dismiss Horton. We've received quite a few complaints from students lately. But Grandmaster is a friend of the Dean, so regarding the Dean..."

Dismissing the gatekeeper was naturally not a problem. After all, once the man who had backed him was gone, he no longer had any support. But Yu Xiaogang was the Dean's friend.

Louise frowned. "Then dismiss the gatekeeper first. From now on, I don't want to see anyone bullying students at the academy again."

Though she was the Dean of Instruction and held considerable authority at Notting Academy, she still had to give the Dean some face. Beating this so-called Grandmaster senseless today counted as teaching him a lesson. If he dared offend again next time, she would not let him off lightly.
