Master Seeks Trouble!

Master Seeks Trouble!

Tang San was stunned when he heard the master's words.

Yeah, if I had beaten him in yesterday's match, would Xiao Wu still have looked at Ma Hongjun differently? Would she still have looked down on me like that?

Although if he had defeated Ma Hongjun back then,

it might have made Xiao Wu unhappy.

But that was only a possibility.

The reality was that he had lost the match.

He had been humiliated by Ma Hongjun.

So Tang San fell silent.

Seeing Tang San like this,

the master spoke again. "Xiao San, I'm not saying this to make you seek fights or act recklessly. I just want to make one thing clear to you: sometimes, strength truly is very important."

At this point,

the master thought of himself.

He, too, had been driven out of that clan by his father because of his strength—

or rather, because of his Martial Soul.

And as far as he knew,

that woman from Spirit Hall might have left him because of his lack of strength as well.

Then there was Liu Erlong. Although he had some reservations about their relationship as cousins,

the real reason was that he had not been strong enough to intimidate those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

That was why things had ended up like this.

Under such circumstances,

he naturally possessed an extreme thirst for strength.

Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for him to gain great strength himself.

Tang San was his disciple,

and in a sense, an extension of his spirit.

So he hoped Tang San could break free from this predicament.

That was why he was teaching Tang San this way now.

There was another reason.

He knew Tang San's background.

Tang San would eventually have to face Spirit Hall.

In that case,

strength was especially important.

In his view, Ma Hongjun was clearly capable of motivating Tang San.

A mutated Martial Soul, strength greater than Tang San's.

Someone like that was enough to spur Tang San onward.

And at this time, in the master's eyes,

although Tang San had lost, it was only because he had not yet properly trained him.

He believed that with his guidance,

Tang San would be able to defeat Ma Hongjun.

There was one more thing.

Tang San had twin Martial Souls.

That was something Ma Hongjun could never compare to.

The reason he was weak now

was because Tang San was using the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Meanwhile, his opponent possessed a mutated offensive Martial Soul.

It was not surprising that Tang San had lost.

But given time,

once Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer had Soul Rings attached,

Ma Hongjun would definitely be no match for him.

"Xiao San, do you understand?" the master finally asked.

Tang San was momentarily stunned, then said, "Teacher, I understand. I'll cultivate even harder."

The master revealed a gratified expression.

That was what he liked about Tang San.

Not only was he talented, but he was also sensible.

"Alright, come with me to meet the headmaster of Notting Academy. Since you were previously a work-study student, you still need to inform him if you want to move out of that dormitory. Conveniently, I'll speak to the headmaster about this as well," the master said.

Tang San nodded.

Then the two of them headed straight for the Notting Academy headmaster's office.

As for Ma Hongjun, he naturally went to class with Xiao Wu.

But just as Ma Hongjun was teasing Xiao Wu,

a teacher knocked on the door, then entered and asked, "Is Ma Hongjun here?"

Ma Hongjun was startled.

Someone was looking for him? Was there something going on?

So he said, "Teacher, I'm here."

When the teacher saw Ma Hongjun,

he did not waste words and said directly, "Ma Hongjun, the headmaster wants to see you about something. Come with me."

Ma Hongjun frowned.

Why was the headmaster of Notting Academy looking for him?

So he said to Xiao Wu, "I'll go see the headmaster first and find out what he wants. Wait for me."

Xiao Wu's face reddened. "Why would I wait for you?"

"Oh? The little lady's getting bolder. Wait until your husband gets back, then I'll deal with you," Ma Hongjun said mischievously.

Xiao Wu shot Ma Hongjun an irritated glare.

This guy seemed to be getting more and more brazen.

Yet when she heard his words,

Xiao Wu did not feel as disgusted as she had imagined.

Instead, there was even a faint trace of delight in her heart.

Perhaps that was how a girl in love thought.

Then Ma Hongjun followed the teacher out.

After leaving the classroom,

Ma Hongjun asked, "Teacher, what does the headmaster want with me?"

The teacher said, "I don't know either. But when the headmaster asked me to fetch you, the master was in his office too. I imagine it has something to do with him."

When he mentioned the master, the teacher's tone was somewhat strange.

Ma Hongjun was merely startled.

The master? Had Wang Sheng's guess really been right?

Was the master looking to cause him trouble? Was he really that petty?

But asking now would be useless. He would only find out once he got there.

Meanwhile, in the headmaster's office,

"Xiao Gang, I've already sent someone to fetch Ma Hongjun. You can tell me what this is about now, can't you?" the headmaster said directly.

After saying that, the headmaster seemed to think of something.

He then said, "Ma Hongjun is an excellent child. To be honest, this academy is somewhat beneath his talents."

The master frowned.

Why did the headmaster's tone sound a little off to him?

The headmaster noticed his expression as well.

His heart stirred.

Yu Xiaogang had come in and said he wanted to see a student named Ma Hongjun.

He had not thought much of it and had immediately sent someone to find him.

But now, something seemed wrong.

He glanced at Tang San beside the master.

He knew that this was the master's newly accepted disciple, the one he had previously taken out to obtain a Soul Ring.

But what he was curious about now was why the master wanted to see Ma Hongjun.

"What do you want with Ma Hongjun?" the headmaster asked directly.

The master answered directly, "Ma Hongjun has been gathering followers in the academy and flirting with little girls. You know about this, don't you?"

The headmaster frowned. To be honest, he truly did not know about this.

However, he could hear the dissatisfaction in the master's tone.

Thinking of how Ma Hongjun had been sent here by that Soul Sage expert, his heart stirred.

He then said, "You aren't planning to make trouble for him, are you?"

The master merely said, "Don't you think someone like this will corrupt the atmosphere at Notting Academy?"

The headmaster inwardly thought, Just as I expected.

Although he did not know how Ma Hongjun had offended the master,

as the master's friend, he still had to offer him a reminder.

But just as he was about to speak,

a voice came from outside the office.

"Headmaster, I've brought Ma Hongjun."

The headmaster immediately fell silent.

Since Ma Hongjun had already arrived, he naturally could not say those things now.

Instead, he said, "Thank you. Let him in."

"It was nothing, Headmaster. You're too polite," the teacher replied directly.

Then he turned to Ma Hongjun and said, "I'll be leaving now. Go on in."

Ma Hongjun immediately nodded.
