Tang Hao was a Titled Douluo. Even if he stared at someone for an entire day, there was no way he would be discovered. That was why Yu Xiaogang did not dare say anything too harsh now.

"Headmaster, you know how children speak without thinking. Little San is still just a child, after all."

"What nonsense are you talking about? He's seven years old! How can he still be considered a child?!"

A trace of anger appeared on Yuan Hua's face. On Douluo Continent, soul masters who could cultivate generally looked like adults by their teens. Tang San was already seven; he was not at an age where he understood nothing.

At that, an awkward look appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face, soon replaced by anger. That damn Yuan Hua actually gave him no face at all in front of outsiders!

"Teacher, let's leave. I'll graduate early! I don't need to stay at this academy!"

Tang San looked at Yuan Hua with utter dissatisfaction in his eyes. A mere Soul Ancestor actually dared speak to someone with limitless potential like him in that tone. He was simply courting death.

It was already enough for Tang San to hate him for favoring Yun Tian. Now he was still being so relentlessly unreasonable.

"Little San! We agreed you would leave after studying until graduation..."

"No need. I agree to let you leave, but forget about getting a graduation certificate."

Yuan Hua rose to his feet and spoke slowly. Although Tang San had long met the graduation requirements, given the severity of his behavior, Yuan Hua had no intention of issuing him a graduation certificate.

"You! We don't need it anyway!"

Yu Xiaogang was thoroughly enraged now. He grabbed Tang San and slammed the door behind them as they left, leaving Xiao Wu alone in the office.

"Student Xiao Wu, your talent is excellent. If you also wish to graduate early, I can help you arrange it."

"N-No need."

Xiao Wu thought Yuan Hua meant arranging it the same way he had for Tang San, and instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Not withdrawal. I mean giving you a graduation certificate so you can study at an intermediate or advanced soul master academy. Wasn't Xiao Tian the same? I wonder where he has gone these days."

"Yun Tian? Headmaster, do you know where he went?"

"Based on my guess, he may choose Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although he has no recommendation, his talent will certainly make the higher-ups there value him."

Xiao Wu was tempted now. She wanted to find Yun Tian. After all these days, he was the only one who had left a deep impression on her.

Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Yuan Hua, as someone who had been through it himself, wore an expression that said he understood. Then he said:

"What do you think, Student Xiao Wu? If you are willing, I can help you."

"Then... I'll have to trouble you."

Meanwhile.

On Yu Xiaogang's side.

After dragging Tang San back to his room, he immediately began packing his belongings.

"Teacher, if we leave, where can we go?"

"Shrek Academy! It was founded by my old friend Flender. He is a Soul Sage, and there must be many formidable people at the academy!"

"A Soul Sage!!"

Tang San's eyes lit up. The founder of such a high-quality academy was actually his teacher's old friend?

His teacher had previously told him some information about Shrek Academy. It only accepted monsters, so he would definitely qualify. Moreover, some students who graduated from there had even become red-clad bishops of Spirit Hall!

That was indeed no low-ranking position, and Tang San immediately grew eager with anticipation.

"That's right, a Soul Sage! Back then, this old friend, another person, and I were known throughout the world as the Golden Iron Triangle! We were famous across the entire continent!"

"It is only a pity that I had planned to let you study for the full six years. Cultivating your martial soul is important, but theoretical knowledge cannot be neglected either."

Yu Xiaogang patted Tang San on the shoulder, then clasped his hands behind his back. With a solemn expression, he said earnestly, "But it's fine. In the time ahead, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life!"

"Teacher!"

Tang San's eyes grew moist. This was practically a father figure to him!

"By the way, Teacher, what about Xiao Wu? Should we take her with us too?"

"Why bring her? After what you did, do you still think she would speak to you?"

In Yu Xiaogang's mind, Xiao Wu was already someone who sat at the same table as Yun Tian. Without his guidance, her future was destined to be bleak.

Tang San could only nod at that. He had thought that if he could persuade Xiao Wu to come along, then with them spending every day together, their relationship would naturally recover.

Far away, Tang Hao, who was searching for something that could treat his hidden injuries, never could have imagined that the hundred-thousand-year soul beast he had picked out for his son was gone just like that—and that his home had been stolen long ago as well.

Yu Xiaogang did not have many belongings, mostly theories he had created himself and books for copying notes. Tang San was poor to begin with; aside from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night Yu Xiaogang had given him and his hidden weapons, he had nothing else on him.

Nearly two and a half hours later, the two finally left Notting Academy.

After getting into the carriage, Tang San gave one last look at the place where he had suffered so much humiliation, his eyes filled with killing intent and hatred.

Just wait. Once I, Tang San, become a Titled Douluo in the future, the first person I'll kill will be that damn old bastard Yuan Hua!

In the Seventh Dormitory.

Xiao Wu looked at the large and small bundles before her, a smile flashing through her eyes. At last, she was setting off again.

She took a comb from a small wooden box, and her expression immediately fell.

Her mother had left this comb to her. She wanted to give it to the most important person in her life!

"Sister Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

Wang Sheng and several other roommates noticed what she was doing and all looked confused.

"Sister Xiao Wu is graduating early! You all need to study hard!"

Xiao Wu put aside her earlier expression and revealed her usual outgoing, sunny demeanor as she bid them farewell.

"Sister Xiao Wu is amazing. You've already met the graduation requirements so quickly?"

"Yeah, and I heard Tang San was persuaded by the headmaster to withdraw."

"Hmph, Tang San always acted like no one mattered just because he had innate full soul power. Just looking at him made me angry!"

They chattered among themselves while Xiao Wu took her belongings and left the Seventh Dormitory. At the same time, she was leaving Notting Academy.

But where she should go next gave Xiao Wu a headache. As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that had taken human form, she truly had no sense of direction.

After hailing a carriage, Xiao Wu did not hurry to name a destination. She first got in and put away her belongings, then began considering where to go.

"Xiao Tian will probably go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but where is Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Her little head kept turning, but in the end, she could only say, "Let's go to Soto City first!"

"Got it!"

The coachman immediately whipped the horses into motion. Xiao Wu had not named Soto City at random. As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast from Star Dou Forest, she knew of some cities near the forest.

Otherwise, she would not have run to Notting City as soon as she took human form. Although Da Ming and Er Ming had told her about Heaven Dou City, Xiao Wu had completely failed to think of it now.
