"Yes!"

At Louise's request, the gatekeeper was fired on the spot. As for Yu Xiaogang, because of his connections with the dean, two teachers carried him to the academy infirmary.

No longer paying Yu Xiaogang any attention, Louise turned her gaze toward Ning Chuan's group of four. She directly ignored Tang San and looked at Ning Chuan with a smile. "Little brother, all right, you can go register now. If any teacher or staff member bullies you or abuses their position at the academy in the future, tell me directly."

"I understand. Thank you, Sister."

"You little rascal, I'm old enough to be your mother."

The more Louise looked at Ning Chuan, the more she liked him. There was no helping it—humans were creatures who valued appearances. Tang San himself was ugly, dark as charcoal, and naturally suffered the disregard of the beautiful Dean of Instruction, Louise.

Ning Chuan, on the other hand, was fair and clean-looking, and he spoke pleasantly. Naturally, he was more likely to receive her care.

"But Sister really is very beautiful."

Ning Chuan was not lying. In this world of soul masters, as long as a female soul master's Martial Soul was not too poor, she was often quite beautiful.

"What a sweet talker. All right, Sister still has business with the dean. Just follow this teacher and register yourselves."

"Thank you, Sister. Goodbye, Sister."

After Louise left, Ning Chuan did not even glance at Tang San. After greeting Old Tom, he followed the teacher who had fired Horton to register.

Old Tom clearly still harbored resentment over Tang San's earlier "report" against Ning Chuan. He did not look at him either, and after greeting Old Jack, he left.

"All right, Xiao San, hurry inside and register too."

Old Jack clearly still held hopes for Tang San, believing he would bring glory to Saint Soul Village, and motioned for him to hurry inside.

Tang San nodded and quickly followed, unable to resist asking, "Why did you say something like that? Master should have had no grudge against you, right?"

"Can't I dislike him?"

Ning Chuan's simple sentence immediately left Tang San speechless.

In the end, Tang San merely snorted coldly, and neither of them spoke again.

Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy was not large, with only three areas: the main teaching building, the training grounds, and the dormitory building.

Although it was only a Junior Soul Master Academy, its requirements for students were exceptionally strict. Even if their homes were right beside the academy, students still had to live on campus and accept unified management.

A moment later, the two followed the teacher who had fired the gatekeeper to the Academic Affairs Office on the first floor of the teaching building. The person specifically responsible for receiving new students was a teacher who looked to be in his sixties. His surname was Su, and he was the deputy Dean of Instruction at Notting Academy. Everyone called him Director Su. Two young teachers under thirty stood beside him, assisting him.

Because Yu Xiaogang had been injured by Louise and carried away before taking on any disciples, although Tang San's Blue Silver Grass with Innate Full Spirit Power caught Director Su's attention, no one told Tang San that Yu Xiaogang was trash.

Instead, the teacher who had fired the gatekeeper discussed with Director Su and the others how Yu Xiaogang had just tried to molest the newly arrived beautiful Dean of Instruction and gotten severely beaten.

Director Su and the others were stunned upon hearing this. The two young male teachers in particular had already looked down on Yu Xiaogang, and now they began making snide remarks.

This disgusted Tang San greatly, because he knew Ning Chuan was behind all of it.

Ignoring Tang San, Ning Chuan finished registering, collected two sets of blue academy uniforms, and left without waiting for him.

Notting Academy's dormitory building stood on the east side of the training grounds and was easy to find.

Following the room-number signs, Ning Chuan quickly arrived at the gathering place for Work-Study Students: Seventh Dormitory.

Perhaps because of the conflict "caused" by Yu Xiaogang, Tang San had been delayed considerably during registration.

By the time Ning Chuan arrived, Xiao Wu had already reached Seventh Dormitory. A large group of students surrounded her with respectful expressions, calling her Xiao Wu Jie again and again. It seemed she had already become the boss of Seventh Dormitory.

"A new Work-Study Student! Why aren't you coming to pay respects to our new boss, Xiao Wu Jie?" someone shouted when Ning Chuan entered.

"Not interested." Ning would never bow to that old rabbit.

In Ning Chuan's mind, she had already become his Soul Ring.

Ning Chuan's voice immediately drew the attention of every Work-Study Student present, including Xiao Wu. One of the older children looked at Ning Chuan, whose skin was fair and clean but whose clothes bore patches, then walked toward him.

"My name is Wang Sheng. My Martial Soul is the Battle Tiger, and I'm a future battle soul master. Kid, what's your name, and what's your Martial Soul? How dare you refuse to pay respects to Xiao Wu Jie?"

"What, you want to fight?"

Ning Chuan's answer instead made the previously aggressive Wang Sheng lose confidence. He worried Ning Chuan might be another ruthless character like Xiao Wu. After hesitating, he shook his head. "This isn't about fighting. It's about the rules. Whoever is strongest in Seventh Dormitory is the boss. I used to be the boss, but I lost to Xiao Wu Jie not long ago. If you don't want to pay respects to Xiao Wu Jie, then you have to defeat her."

Before Ning Chuan could answer, Xiao Wu's carefree voice came from the other side. "Wang Sheng, since he doesn't want to pay respects to me, Xiao Wu Jie, then help Xiao Wu Jie teach him a lesson."

"Uh... all right." Wang Sheng was somewhat caught between a rock and a hard place, but he still said to Ning Chuan, "Excuse me..."

As he spoke, Wang Sheng pounced at Ning Chuan like a fierce tiger descending the mountain.

Seeing Wang Sheng rush over and throw a punch at his abdomen, Ning Chuan neither dodged nor evaded. He allowed the fist to land on him.

At the same time, he shouted in his heart, Bind Tang San.

Bang!

The next moment, a bizarre scene unfolded. After Wang Sheng's fist landed on Ning Chuan's body, it could not advance even the slightest bit further.

"How is this possible..."

Wang Sheng's eyes widened, while everyone else looked as though they had seen a ghost.

Everyone in Seventh Dormitory who knew Wang Sheng knew that his Martial Soul was the Battle Tiger and that his Soul Power had already reached level nine. He had quite a bit of strength.

Combined with his age advantage, let alone this seemingly frail new Work-Study Student, even a burly man without Soul Power would be knocked to the ground by this punch head-on. Yet this person had taken Wang Sheng's punch head-on and looked completely unaffected, as if it neither hurt nor itched. It was utterly absurd.

Elsewhere, Tang San had just completed his new student registration. Before he had even left the dormitory building, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

Then, the world-famous image appeared.

Tang San looked just like Vegeta from the Dragon Ball anime of Ning Chuan's former life on Blue Star, when Vegeta first came to Earth and took a punch to the stomach from Kakarot.

His entire body bent over, his hands clutching his abdomen, bloodshot filling his eyes as sour liquid spilled from his mouth. He staggered backward again and again.

The difference was that Vegeta endured Kakarot's punch and recovered, while Tang San had been completely unprepared. Before he could even circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill, his steps faltered a few times and he collapsed to the ground without moving, nearly vomiting up his gall.
