The Spoiled Young Master, Tailong
"Hey! You there, stop!"
An unwelcome voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.
Li Fei had been wandering around the academy when he noticed the surrounding students staring at him.
"Are you calling me?"
Only then did Li Fei realize that the person who had just shouted was calling for him.
He turned to look.
A tall, burly youth swaggered toward him, flanked by two vicious-looking lackeys. At a glance, they were clearly not people to be trifled with.
"Quit playing dumb. We're calling you."
"How come I've never seen you around the academy? Are you new here?"
"You've got some nerve. As a new student, you didn't come pay your respects to Lord Tailong!"
The bull-like youth strutted up to Li Fei, blocked his path, and sized him up from head to toe.
Li Fei was sizing this guy up as well.
Tailong? Why does that name sound so familiar? And this build looks familiar too. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
Could he be Tai Tan's grandson, Tailong?
This is Blue Tyrant Academy. Then it must be him.
That whole family is full of scoundrels. They have no shame at all.
In the original story, that little bastard defeated him and his father one after another. In the end, the old Soul Douluo personally stepped in to bully him, only to discover that the little bastard's father was his master. That was the only reason the little bastard escaped disaster.
Li Fei pondered inwardly.
In truth, he did not want to get involved with the Strength Clan yet. That family's servility ran too deep, and he found it thoroughly distasteful.
But now that someone had come looking to bully him, there was no way he would back down.
His eyes shifted, and a mischievous idea came to him.
"I'm new here, all right. But why should I pay my respects to you?" Li Fei's voice was full of disdain.
"Hahaha!!!" The two lackeys burst into laughter.
"Because I'm the student boss of Blue Tyrant Academy!" Tailong snorted proudly.
Two yellow Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, releasing the Soul Power fluctuations of a Soul Grandmaster.
Li Fei sensed him out and discovered that this guy was a level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster.
He was already a level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster now, yet by the time Tang San came along, he had only become a Soul Elder. It was obvious that his talent was nothing special.
Tailong was probably around five years older than Tang San.
Li Fei did not know the exact age, but it was roughly around there.
If that was the case, then Tailong should have been eleven years old now.
With the Strength Clan supporting him, he had only reached level twenty-one Soul Grandmaster at eleven. Honestly, his talent was truly trash.
At least, that was how Li Fei saw it.
"Then who's stronger, you or the dean?" Li Fei asked.
"Kid, I'm a student, and the dean is the dean. How could I possibly compare to him? Don't change the subject. Pay your respects to me now, and I'll look after you!" Tailong patted his chest. "From now on, you'll hand over half your living expenses to me as protection money."
"Got any objections?" Tailong raised his chin, brimming with confidence.
"You're not qualified to be my boss. It'd be more like me being yours." After saying that, Li Fei prepared to go around him and leave.
"Kid, you're even more arrogant than I am! Looks like your family has protected you too well, and you don't know how dangerous the outside world is. I'll teach you a proper lesson today! I'll make you understand that there is always someone stronger out there!"
The moment Tailong heard Li Fei's words of utter disregard, his pride as the pampered young master of his family exploded. His eyes burned with fury as he directly summoned his Martial Soul, the Great Strength Gorilla, and threw a punch at Li Fei!
Enhanced by the Great Strength Gorilla's possession, his body grew larger and more muscular, his height shooting up to two meters!
The force behind that punch was terrifying. If an ordinary peer were hit, even if they did not die, they would be crippled!
With so many people watching, he absolutely could not lose face as the boss.
Otherwise, how could he command respect in the future?
Now that some blind fool had come along, he could use him to establish his authority in front of everyone!
"That new kid is finished. He actually provoked Tailong!"
"Tailong has the Strength Clan behind him. His grandfather is their old clan leader, and he's a powerful Soul Douluo."
"That kid is going to get beaten half to death today."
"This guy's skull is really hard."
The people around them discussed the matter, ready to watch Li Fei make a fool of himself.
"Kid, take a punch from this young master!"
Bang!
Just as Tailong thought he was about to see Li Fei sent flying by his punch, Li Fei turned around and calmly raised a hand, catching his fist with ease.
"What!?"
"He caught it barehanded? Without even using his Martial Soul!"
The surrounding crowd was stunned by the sight.
Tailong's pupils contracted, and disbelief appeared on his face.
Looking at Li Fei's calm expression, his face immediately grew solemn. He realized that this kid was nowhere near as frail as he looked.
No wonder he had been so fearless.
So he had something to rely on!
Tailong tried to pull back, only to find that his fist was being held tightly. He could not pull free at all, and his expression changed drastically.
What tremendous strength!
How was that possible?
He had not even activated his Martial Soul!
The next moment, his body flew forward against his control, and then a fist the size of a sandbag slammed toward his face.
Bang!
"Ah!"
"Pfft!"
His face was struck hard. Tailong's nose bridge broke, blood sprayed from his nostrils, and spit flew from his mouth as he was sent flying.
Bang, bang, bang—
His body hurtled backward. Seeing the force of the impact, the two lackeys did not dare catch him and quickly dodged aside.
Tailong crashed down face-first.
The entire scene fell silent.
"That newcomer actually sent Tailong flying!"
"It's over. Whether this newcomer wins or loses, he's offended Tai Tan. The Strength Clan definitely won't let him off!"
"Unless he has a Soul Douluo backing him too, he's in danger!"
The people around them were shocked and began whispering among themselves.
Hearing their words and looking at Tailong lying face-first on the ground, Li Fei sneered disdainfully. "I didn't want to stoop to your level, but you insisted on pushing me. So I had no choice but to hit you. You're a grown man—don't tell me you'll run back to your family after losing and ask them to avenge you?"
"Bullshit!"
Tailong felt deeply humiliated by those words. He immediately pushed himself up while covering his nose and roared angrily.
"I admit that I underestimated you, but I was careless too!"
"Don't worry. I, Tailong, take responsibility for what I do. I'll never ask my family to stand up for me!"
Tailong looked at the people around him, his face flushing red.
"Kid, I was just careless before. Now I'm getting serious. Don't blame me if you die!"
"Second Soul Skill: Explosive Giant Strength!"
Tailong's face twisted viciously as he unleashed his Soul Skill and charged rapidly at Li Fei!
He had to regain his dignity after such humiliation!
Li Fei scoffed. "Your mouth is tough. Let's see whose fist is tougher."
"Second Soul Skill: Power of the Azure Dragon."
As Tailong rushed at him, Li Fei muttered inwardly and threw a punch in return.
The might of a blue dragon's roar surged from his body and gathered entirely in his right hand, causing his strength to soar instantly!
His punch tore through the air with a sonic boom.
That was something Tailong could not achieve.
BANG!!!!!!!
