Chen Xin Appears

"Since it was a misunderstanding, let's leave it at that for today. Instructor Bai Baoshan, sorry for the disturbance." In the end, O'lf chose to back down. There was no helping it—there were two Titled Douluo on the other side. He could not afford to provoke them.

"Grandfather, are we just letting this go? That commoner bastard gets away with everything?" O'ldo was unwilling to accept this. Ye Lingling could be left alone, but he had no intention of letting Tianlin off so easily.

O'lf lovingly patted his grandson's head. "Don't worry. I'll seek justice for you sooner or later. Kid, you got lucky today, but you're only safe for now. Be more careful when you go out."

Bai Baoshan's expression turned extremely ugly at those words. Threatening his student right in front of him was simply treating him as if he did not exist. Yet because of his status, he could not make the first move, or it would be seen as a provocation against the O' Family.

But just because he could endure it did not mean everyone else could.

At least, someone in the sky had endured enough. In an instant, a vast, terrifying killing intent descended from above, accompanied by an enraged voice. "O'lf, you may be done, but I'm not!"

O'ldo, O'lf, and Ye Ping were crushed by the killing intent until they spat blood. Especially O'lf, the weakest among them—he felt as though every bone in his body was about to break.

Strangely, despite such immense killing intent, everyone else was completely unharmed. This showed that the newcomer's control over his killing intent had reached an unfathomable level.

Such terrifying killing intent, controlled with such precision... There can't be many people in this world capable of that. Three names immediately surfaced in Tianlin's mind.

Bibi Dong and Tang Hao were the only two people alive who possessed Divine Slaughter's Domain. The other was Sword Douluo Chen Xin. The killing intent of his Seven Kill Domain was no weaker than Divine Slaughter's Domain.

"Master, is that you?" Tianlin suddenly raised his head and called out.

A streak of sword light flashed over the roof of the Dean's Office. In an instant, the roof was sliced open as easily as tofu.

Chen Xin rode a Flying Sword, standing proudly in midair.

"S-Sword Douluo Chen Xin!" O'lf immediately began to stammer in fright. Sword Douluo Chen Xin was far more terrifying than Thunder Douluo and Poison Douluo. Rumor had it that his Soul Power had already reached the realm of a Super Douluo. Combined with Ning Fengzhi's support, he alone could fight three or four ordinary Titled Douluo.

Wait, what had that commoner brat called Chen Xin just now? Master? "Kid, are you His Excellency Sword Douluo's disciple?"

O'lf wanted to confirm it once more. He hoped Tianlin would deny it, but unfortunately, Tianlin only gave him four words: "Direct Disciple."

"Y-You, why didn't you say so earlier?" O'ldo was utterly dumbfounded. Had he known this guy was a Titled Douluo's disciple, even if he had three times the courage, he would not have dared touch him.

Tianlin helplessly spread his hands. "You never asked. From beginning to end, all you asked was who my father was and who my mother was. Didn't I answer you truthfully?"

"You didn't have to be so honest." O'ldo was nearly in tears. He knew he had kicked an iron plate this time. Not only was he finished, even his grandfather likely would not get off easily.

Chen Xin slowly descended on his sword. "O'lf, I heard everything from beginning to end. Your grandson was clearly at fault, yet you kept trying to pin the blame on my disciple. Bullying the young with your age and status—do you take me for dead?"

His tone was calm, but anyone could hear the chilling coldness hidden within his words. Chen Xin was indeed strict with Tianlin, but he loved him just as much. As his master, he was supposed to shield his disciple from harm. So long as he lived, he would not allow anyone to hurt Tianlin.

"Your Excellency, this incident was entirely my fault. I should not have tried to harm your disciple. Please forgive me. The Balak Kingdom will surely offer generous compensation later." O'lf spoke with utmost humility. There was no helping it—the situation was stronger than the man. Just now, his strength had given him the upper hand, so naturally he could act arrogantly.

But before Chen Xin, he was no different from an ant.

"Forgive you? Certainly. But you'll have to pay a price." Chen Xin held the Seven Kill Sword and casually swung it. Before O'lf could react, one of his ears had somehow fallen to the ground.

"Th-Thank you, Your Excellency, for your mercy!" O'lf endured the pain. He knew this was already a rather good outcome. Losing an ear was at least better than losing his life.

Bai Baoshan glanced at Tianlin and Chen Xin, thinking that master and disciple truly were alike. Even their methods of punishing people were exactly the same.

"Fine, get lost!" Chen Xin waved a hand, then seemed to remember something. "Oh, right. I accidentally tore off the roof of this Dean's Office just now. But it was your fault, so you'll compensate for it later!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not lack such a small amount of money, but nurturing an outstanding Soul Master consumed a great deal of resources. Chen Xin still felt it was best to save where he could. Seeing through his thoughts, O'lf roared inwardly, Then use the door! If you know it's wasteful, why tear off someone else's roof?

But he did not dare say it aloud. He immediately cupped his hands and said, "I understand. Farewell, Your Excellency!"

At that moment, O'lf did not dare linger for even a second. With his grandson in tow, he flashed away at top speed.

Sure enough, running for one's life was the best way to unleash one's potential. O'lf's speed now was no less than that of some Agility Attack System Soul Douluo.

"Almost forgot—there's you too. As a teacher, you helped frame my disciple without distinguishing right from wrong." Chen Xin's tendency to protect his own had fully erupted, and he had no intention of sparing Ye Ping either.

Crushed by Sword Douluo's killing intent, Ye Ping had been kneeling there without daring to move. He had only hoped to become invisible enough for Chen Xin to overlook him, but he still could not escape disaster.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I was wrong. From now on, I will certainly take good care of Young Master Tianlin, and I guarantee that he will never make any mistakes again." Ye Ping remained stubbornly unchanged. What he said and did was actually no different from before—he was still taking sides, only now he had chosen Tianlin's side.

What he meant was not that he would teach Tianlin to become a good child who did not make mistakes. Rather, even if Tianlin made a mistake, the fault would belong to someone else. He would always stand by Tianlin.

That was practically encouraging Tianlin to become a spoiled young dandy. Chen Xin frowned. I worked so hard to teach Tianlin so well, and you dare say right in front of me that you'll corrupt him? I was originally going to spare your life, but it seems killing you would be better after all.

Seeing Sword Douluo's killing intent gather, Bai Baoshan acted first. He struck Ye Ping in the back with his palm, instantly scattering all the Soul Power throughout his body.

"Your Excellency, I have already crippled this man's Soul Power. Next, I will expel him from the academy. Please calm your anger."

He was kindhearted in the end. Though Ye Ping had thoroughly displeased him as well, he had not reached the point of wanting to kill him.

Seeing this, Chen Xin withdrew the Seven Kill Sword. "Bai Baoshan, you are a good man. For the sake of how you defended my disciple just now, I'll give you this courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Bai Baoshan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, when did you arrive?" Seeing that the matter was over, Tianlin stepped forward to ask.

"I was here all along. Ever since you left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I have never gone far from you," Chen Xin replied.
