Trash. Trash.
Those two words kept echoing in Tang San's mind, as if they were mocking him.
Tang San grew even more displeased.
"What's wrong with that? What do you mean, picking on the weak? They were simply too weak."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both felt that he had gone a little too far.
Especially Ning Rongrong. She really was a Little Demoness, and she knew she'd gone too far—but by comparison, she was still a good person. At least she hadn't sexually harassed anyone.
As a woman, Liu Erlong felt this most keenly. She was deeply unhappy with what Tang San had said.
She reprimanded Tang San in front of everyone:
"Xiao San, that was too much. We cultivate to protect ourselves, not to do anything out of line."
"And you two, too. You harassed a girl and called someone else trash. What were you thinking? That was completely out of line."
Liu Erlong sternly scolded Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun as well.
Ma Hongjun lowered his head under the scolding and didn't dare talk back.
Dai Mubai, however, was very unhappy. Why was she scolding him? As for Tang San, he was even worse—a hypocrite with a double standard. He had already decided in his heart that Liu Erlong deserved to die.
Perhaps the Live Broadcast Room had heard Tang San's words. It hit back with a direct attack.
[By the way, do those who obtained the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record still remember its seven rules? What was the fifth one?]
The question left everyone stunned, but those who had the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record began thinking.
Soon, they blurted out the answer.
"Disciples of the Tang Sect must not stir up trouble."
Tang San remembered that rule too, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.
I'm done for. They're going to put me on the wall again.
[Tang San claims to be a true successor of the Tang Sect, but in reality, he's a despicable thief. He stole the Tang Sect's secret manual and stirred up trouble. That's shameless, even for him.]
Tang San wanted to argue, but he couldn't. He was the one who'd stirred up trouble, and he was the one who'd stolen the manual. Those were the Tang Sect's rules, after all.
Liu Erlong grew even angrier and turned to scold Flender:
"Look at what you've done! You took a perfectly good school and turned it into this. And those so-called school rules—abolish them all from now on. I'm going to enforce discipline at the school myself."
Flender took the scolding like a frightened chick, not daring to talk back. He was genuinely afraid of Liu Erlong's fiery temper.
He also felt that things needed to change. He'd seen how people looked at them—as if they were trash.
Still, he hadn't realized Ma Hongjun did more than frequent brothels. He'd even learned to harass respectable young women. How had he never noticed before? If only he'd caught it sooner, he could have dealt with it.
Flender turned to Ma Hongjun, his expression even sterner than Liu Erlong's:
"Ma Hongjun, I've never objected to your Martial Soul problem. But I absolutely will not tolerate you harassing respectable young women. Go apologize to them later."
Everyone watched in silence. Whether Flender was sincere or just putting on a show, they couldn't tell.
"I understand, Dean."
Ma Hongjun lowered his head and apologized earnestly. He wasn't as respectful toward his teachers as Tang San was, but he still respected Flender. After all, Flender had raised him from childhood and carefully trained him. He could never repay that kindness.
[Next, let's watch the second clash between Ye Tianyun and Tang San.]
[This clash would also earn Shrek Academy a powerful enemy, one who would become its nightmare in the years to come.]
???
Question marks popped into Flender's mind. The thought that someone could become Shrek Academy's nightmare had him imagining the future already.
Shrek Academy next door was sure to suffer terribly.
[Now, let's watch the footage. Faced with Shrek Academy's provocation, Ye Tianyun showed no mercy.]
On screen.
Ye Tianyun released the Human Emperor Banner without hesitation. Two Spirit Rings rose from beneath his feet.
The members of Canghui Academy naturally revealed their Spirit Rings as well. Every one of them had a Hundred-Year Spirit Ring.
Dai Mubai grew even more smug. There wasn't a single Spirit Elder among them. What was there to be afraid of?
"Brothers, let these pieces of trash see what we can do."
The battle began.
Ye Tianyun lit up his Second Soul Ring first. The Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Spirit appeared out of thin air and formed a spiritual connection with Ye Tianyun.
Ever since he'd created the Star Contemplation Method, Ye Tianyun's spiritual power had grown by leaps and bounds.
Combined with the Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Spirit, his overwhelming spiritual pressure blanketed the whole field.
He easily suppressed everyone except Tang San. Even Tang San felt a weight like a mountain pressing down on him.
"Attack."
At Ye Tianyun's command, the Canghui Academy Second Team sprang into action. With a full set of Spirit Bones, their strength had long surpassed what it had been in the original story.
And with their Soul Bone Skills lending powerful support, Ning Rongrong, the auxiliary Spirit Master, was the first to be knocked down.
Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, the two Spirit Grandmasters, were taken down right after her.
Ye Tianyun activated his Battle Armor, and the Soul Power inside him surged, bringing him close to the level of a rank-forty Spirit Ancestor.
When Tang San saw Xiao Wu knocked to the ground, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, and waves of killing intent spread around him.
How dare they hurt my Xiao Wu? Canghui Academy deserves to die.
He instinctively prepared to pull out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, only to see Ye Tianyun draw a Soul Guidance Pistol. His heart sank.
The Live Broadcast Room even provided commentary.
[Tang San wanted to use a Hidden Weapon to launch a sneak attack, but then he remembered Ye Tianyun's Soul Tool, which was stronger than his Hidden Weapons, and immediately chickened out.]
Tang San: "..."
That word "chickened out" was not at all to his liking. He'd give them one chance to take it back.
Of course, the Live Broadcast Room wouldn't.
On screen, Ye Tianyun gave a slight flick of his wrist. The Human Emperor Banner struck Tang San on the head, knocking him to the ground.
He planted his right foot on Tang San's head and held a Soul Guidance Pistol in each hand, one aimed at Tang San.
"Do you still want to fight?"
Ye Tianyun's loud voice rang across the field.
Under Ye Tianyun's spiritual pressure, the people from Shrek Academy had been beaten badly. Every one of them had lost.
[And this was only their first clash. Shrek Academy would be beaten even more miserably in the future.]
Flender wiped the sweat from his brow.
He could already imagine what would happen to Shrek Academy in the future—and just how miserable they'd be.
They might spend their whole lives living in Ye Tianyun's shadow.
The Canghui Academy Second Team in the Main Timeline was on the verge of tears.
Please give us a Ye Tianyun. Then we wouldn't have to take a beating—and get beaten so badly.
[But this conflict wasn't over. Aside from the Shrek Seven Devils, there was still a trash teacher who only knew how to take his students' side and had a little strength.]
Flender, Li Yusong, and the others instinctively turned to look at Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji had led that Soul Hunting trip, so that trash teacher had to be him.
The Live Broadcast Room was really out to get him.
Zhao Wuji knew they were talking about him and hurried to defend himself:
"I didn't see anything back then. I only saw my students getting beaten. As their teacher, of course I had to help."
How could he admit that he'd watched the whole thing? That would be too humiliating.
"As a teacher, Zhao Wuji saw with his own eyes that his students were harassing a young woman, but he didn't care in the slightest. He even thought it was an honor for the girl."
"Only after seeing his students get beaten did Zhao Wuji step forward."
