Twenty Against One, the Advantage Is Ours!

Everyone knew that a yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring was already very powerful.

The most these children had ever seen were Xiao Chenyu's white Soul Rings. As for yellow Soul Rings, only the Dean or the city lord possessed them.

As for purple Thousand-Year Soul Rings and black Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, they had only seen those in textbooks.

Now, they were seeing the real thing!

Liu Long was so frightened that his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Boss Xiao... b-black ones!"

Xiao Chenyu's face had gone pale as he stared at Jiang Liang in disbelief.

He could not understand how a Work-Study Student could possibly possess Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

And two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings at that!

After Wang Sheng and the others came to their senses, they leaped up in excitement.

"Boss Jiang is mighty!"

Jiang Liang twirled his sword and raised an eyebrow at Liu Long with a smile. "Well? Are you fighting or not?"

"I... I..." Liu Long was practically on the verge of tears.

Jiang Liang snorted softly. "I'll give you one more chance. All twenty of you can come at me together."

"The rule remains the same. If you can so much as touch my clothes, I lose."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent.

When he had said that earlier, everyone had thought he was bragging.

Who would have thought he really had the strength to back it up?

Xiao Chenyu's face alternated between green and white. Looking at those two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, the fear in his heart reached its peak.

Was there even any point in fighting?

Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings were one thing, but he had two of them!

He was the strongest among them, yet he only had a single white Soul Ring!

Was he really going to become someone else's lackey from now on?

But upon hearing Jiang Liang's words, joy suddenly surged through him.

"Fine! You said it!"

"We'll attack together! I refuse to believe one person can handle all twenty of us!"

After all, it was twenty against one. The advantage was ours!

As he spoke, he summoned his Martial Soul, and a white Soul Ring began to gleam around him.

Seeing this, the others also summoned their Martial Souls and charged at Jiang Liang.

Xiao Wu immediately grew anxious.

"Jiang Liang, I'll help you!"

The moment she released her Martial Soul, a yellow Hundred-Year Soul Ring appeared around her.

But before she could make a move, Jiang Liang activated his first Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and darted into the crowd like a ghost.

"Whoosh—!"

The Cold Moon Sword hummed.

Enhanced by his first Soul Ring, Jiang Liang moved so quickly that only a dark-blue afterimage remained.

At this point, not only could Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng's group not see him.

Even Xiao Chenyu and his people could no longer tell where Jiang Liang was.

Yet the unending cries of pain around them constantly reminded them that their enemy was right beside them.

"Ow! Stop stabbing my knees!"

"Ah! Stop hitting my butt! It hurts!"

"G-ghost... This guy is a ghost!"

Cries of agony rose and fell. Those senior students had no hope of touching Jiang Liang's clothes.

They could not even see him clearly before they were all knocked to the ground.

Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others were dumbfounded.

Especially Wang Sheng and the other Work-Study Students. They knew their newly acknowledged boss was powerful, but they had no idea exactly how powerful.

Now, they finally understood.

Strong!

He was insanely strong!

Not a single one of those senior students was a match for their new boss!

The Work-Study Students were overwhelmed with excitement. Their bitter days were finally about to end!

"Boss Jiang is mighty!"

"Boss Jiang is invincible!"

They shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices deafening.

Wang Sheng's blood was boiling as well. He wished he could rush in and throw a couple of punches too!

But Xiao Wu grew anxious. "Jiang Liang, don't beat them all up! Leave one for me!"

Yet when she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Chenyu was the only one still standing.

Seeing all his lackeys sprawled on the ground, Xiao Chenyu was trembling from head to toe in terror.

Twenty people!

They had twenty people on their side, yet they still could not beat one opponent!

What kind of monster was that guy?

"Hey!"

Just then, Jiang Liang suddenly appeared in front of him and called out.

Xiao Chenyu shrieked in fright, staggered back two steps, tripped over his own feet, and fell to the ground.

"Y-you stay away from me!"

"You got startled by that? What a useless coward."

Jiang Liang shook his head helplessly, twirled his sword once more, then withdrew his Martial Soul and walked toward Xiao Wu and the others.

"Xiao Wu, I'll leave this one to you. No problem?"

"Of course there's no problem! Sister Xiao Wu will finally get to show off her might!"

Xiao Wu grinned, then raised her foot and charged swiftly toward Xiao Chenyu.

"First Soul Skill, Waist Bow!"

"Ah!"

A pig-slaughtering scream echoed through the small grove behind the mountain.

Faced with Xiao Wu's assault, Xiao Chenyu, who had already been scared out of his wits, could not last more than a few exchanges.

In just three breaths, he was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.

"Ha ha! That was fun!"

Xiao Wu clapped her hands, her face beaming with delight.

She had been holding in a whole morning's worth of frustration because she had failed to intercept Tang San. Now, she had let it all out.

All that could be said was that Xiao Chenyu had come at the wrong time.

"Sister Xiao Wu is mighty! Boss Jiang is mighty!"

Wang Sheng and the Work-Study Students shouted excitedly.

The students gathered around to watch also looked at Jiang Liang and Xiao Wu with admiration.

Yet just when things were at their liveliest, someone always had to come along and spoil the mood.

"Everybody, stop!"

A stern shout suddenly came from behind the crowd.

Everyone looked up and saw Yu Xiaogang hurrying over with Tang San.

The two of them had just returned from hunting a Soul Ring.

But as soon as they returned to the academy and learned that Jiang Liang and Xiao Chenyu had arranged a duel in the small grove behind the mountain, they hurried over at once.

Yu Xiaogang quickly pushed through the crowd and walked into the center of the field. Seeing Xiao Chenyu lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face, along with the other senior students, he immediately flew into a rage.

He turned and pointed at Jiang Liang, roaring, "Jiang Liang, I haven't even settled yesterday's matter with you, and today you're beating up other students again!"

"Do you still want to remain here and study or not?"

Jiang Liang covered his nose and took two steps back. "Grandmaster, don't you know your breath stinks?"

"You..." Yu Xiaogang's face immediately turned red with rage.

Wang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to explain. "Grandmaster, I can testify that Xiao Chenyu and the others were the ones who came looking for trouble."

"Shut up! Did I ask you to explain?"

Yu Xiaogang shot Wang Sheng a vicious glare, utterly disdaining to hear a Work-Study Student defend himself.

Then he looked at Jiang Liang and snapped, "Jiang Liang, not only did you beat me yesterday, but now you've attacked other students so viciously!"

"Nuoding Academy can no longer keep you. Right now, immediately, get the hell out of Nuoding Academy!"

But Jiang Liang asked, "Are you the Dean?"

"Of course I'm not the Dean, but I can represent the Dean!" Yu Xiaogang declared loudly.

But the instant he finished speaking.

With a crisp slap.

Jiang Liang leaped up and swung a palm across his face.

"If you're not the Dean, what are you putting on an act for?"
