"Not good!"
"This is bad."
Halfway through Huang Tian's words, Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened violently.
He realized his reaction had been too extreme and arrogant, allowing the other party to seize a handle against him.
Anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his brain raced, yet he could not think of a single word of defense.
So much so that layers of cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
While it is certainly wrong for a student to roar at a teacher, it is ten times more serious if a teacher maliciously slanders a student's reputation.
Only when a father is kind can a son be filial; the premise of a teacher's dignity is first having the qualifications to shoulder the responsibilities of a mentor.
Nearby, the principal's eyes brimmed with deep admiration.
"Such fast reactions, such agile thinking."
Every time Gangzi finished speaking, Huang Tian's counterattack took less than ten seconds, tearing apart every loophole in his words, grinding them to dust, and magnifying them.
Let alone a six-year-old child, most adults could not be this steady, precise, and ruthless, with every strike being fatal.
Some students looked at Yu Xiaogang with eyes filled with sudden terror, involuntarily shifting their feet to move further and further away from this piece of trash.
They could empathize with the feeling of being forcibly wronged far better than the teacher could.
High above in the sky, in a place no one could see, Gu Yue was also very surprised, astonished by Huang Tian's courage and his extraordinary intelligence and wit.
When she knew Huang Tian in her past life, he had already become a god, and she did not have a deep understanding of this little husband's early life.
But through the fragmented memories of her avatar's experiences, she could simply judge that his life must have been very unsatisfactory; in any case, it could never have been this full of confidence.
At the same time, she was even more astonished by the extent of Yu Xiaogang's shamelessness.
She knew this fellow was no good, but those brief fragments in her memory were far less intuitive than the scene unfolding today.
Living a life again, many things have started to become different.
Little one, grow up quickly. The storms you will stir up in the future are still yet to come.
Feeling emotional, joyful, and expectant, intoxicated by the pride of successfully changing fate, Gu Yue turned her head to look at Di Tian, who was also hiding his figure not far away, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.
"How does it feel?"
When she first decided to come out of seclusion, the Beast God could be said to have spared no effort to stop her.
But in the last two months, his attitude had gradually begun to shift.
Huang Tian's monstrous talent was not in one specific thing or point, but in every single detail of his daily life and cultivation.
Would you believe it? He even invented a new dish the very first time he saw a chef cooking.
Where on earth can you reason with a monster like this?
Di Tian had not yet fully accepted Huang Tian; to change the God Realm and the fate of the soul beast race, this bit of monstrous talent was far from enough.
But he could indeed see a glimmer of dawn, a space for fantasy; maintaining his current aptitude, at least becoming a god would not be too difficult.
The wood was already carved into a boat; continuing to be stubborn would only hurt others and himself, so he smiled with relief.
"The Lord is wise; it is Xiao Hei who was short-sighted."
This made the corners of Gu Yue's mouth impossible to suppress, like an AK-47.
While everyone was lost in thought, Huang Tian spoke once more.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot to mention."
"You keep saying 'teacher' this and 'teacher' that, acting as if you've suffered some great grievance. I am truly very strange and confused."
"What exactly have you taught me, and how did you suddenly become my teacher?"
"You are neither an instructor in the academy nor a teacher I have personally apprenticed under. From where does this teacher-student relationship even arise?"
"There is clearly no relationship at all; I didn't even know you before, yet you can grandiosely point fingers and criticize in the name of a teacher."
"Could it be that as long as you unilaterally believe you are something to someone, you become that thing? I also feel like I'm your grandfather. May I ask, am I?"
"Pfft!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Her laughter was like opening Pandora's box; in an instant, many people could not hold back their bursts of laughter.
Those who didn't dare to be too brazen still curled their lips in amusement, shaking their heads incessantly.
However, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, his spirit lifting.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you claim to be my grandfather?"
"Is the Soul Grand Master deaf? I said I am not your grandfather. If you insist on interpreting it as me being your grandfather, looking for a father for your own father, then there is nothing I can do."
He placed special emphasis on the three words "Soul Grand Master," as if reminding everyone of something.
It was indeed recognized in the soul master world that Yu Xiaogang was a Soul Grand Master, but when "Soul Grand Master" was simplified to "Grandmaster," the meaning within changed entirely.
Gangzi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant. His eyes burned with a desire to devour someone, yet he clenched his fists tightly, not daring to lash out.
His words had already provided others with ammunition; if he resorted to violence now, he would never be able to clear his name.
He could only flick his sleeves, scoop up Tang San, and leave behind a few words to forcibly salvage his dignity before fleeing at top speed.
"I cannot out-argue you, but no matter how sharp-tongued or sophistical you are, it is my disciple who is currently unconscious and severely injured, not you.
Little San is waiting for treatment, so I will not concern myself with you for the time being."
However, just as he turned around, Huang Tian raised his voice once more.
"Wait. You maliciously slandered me, then twisted the truth and confused the public in front of everyone, and now you want to just flick your sleeves and walk away?
I'm afraid things aren't that simple. Should there not be a price to pay for doing wrong?
If you want to treat Tang San, there are plenty of Support Soul Masters here. It's just a minor flesh wound; he would have been healed long ago if you hadn't interfered."
"What do you want?"
Yu Xiaogang turned back, utterly stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
If he hadn't misheard, this kid was actually planning to hold him accountable?
The observing teachers and students also widened their eyes, once again looking at this audacious child with newfound respect.
This isn't just a matter of being bold anymore, is it?
Xiao Chenyu was completely convinced, giving a mental thumbs-up.
What kind of virtue or ability do I possess to have been beaten by such a legendary figure?
Being beaten by others is a disgrace, but surviving a beating from Huang Tian? That's an honor—enough to brag about for three lifetimes.
That Ladle might be worth keeping; who knows, it might become a holy relic in the future.
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to erupt, habitually preparing to stand on the moral high ground and improvise, he suddenly thought of something, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He took a cloth bag from his Soul Tool bracelet and tossed it casually onto the ground; the sound of gold coins clinking inside rang out crisply.
"You want compensation, don't you? These one hundred Gold Soul Coins are enough to cover your six years of study. However, it cannot be called compensation; let's just call it a little bit of support from a teacher."
He had already figured out how to deceive Tang San.
I am not good with words, and after Huang Tian realized this, he deliberately blackmailed me in public for money.
Some of those things he said involved unspeakable secrets, some were pure slander, and others I could have refuted, but I was too worried at the time to come up with a countermeasure.
As for the other teachers and students, they are all snobs. Seeing Huang Tian defeat you (referring to Tang San), they have no bottom line and are sucking up to him, even knowing that a teacher was insulted and smeared.
Perfect.
I am truly a genius.
Yu Xiaogang was certain that a commoner student like Huang Tian had never seen the world and had only entered the academy through a Work-Study Student quota; he would never be able to resist the temptation of one hundred Gold Soul Coins.
This was equivalent to nearly a year's salary or subsidy for a Soul Grand Master of his level.
