Tang San Reached Level Twenty

Spirit Hall's actions were much slower than Lin Chen had expected, because they hadn't directly issued orders to the Spirit Hall branch in Nuoding City.

Instead, they had sent people directly from Spirit City.

After all, Gangzi was nothing, but there was still Scarface, a Soul King. That wasn't someone the Nuoding City Spirit Hall could handle.

At noon on the third day.

Lin Chen and Xiao Wu had just finished eating and returned from the cafeteria when they saw two people rush into the dormitory building, while three others remained downstairs waiting.

Two of the three were escorting a middle-aged man covered in wounds.

That man was none other than Gangzi's lover, Scarface.

"Master, what's going on?"

Xiao Wu looked at the three men, then turned to Lin Chen with a smile.

"Why not watch and find out?"

Since there was a show to watch, Lin Chen wasn't in any hurry to go upstairs. He simply stood there and quietly waited for it to begin.

Xiao Wu nodded. She brushed her right hand over the storage ring Lin Chen had given her, and a small stool appeared in her hand.

"Master, please sit."

Lin Chen sat down while Xiao Wu stood behind him and began massaging his shoulders.

The three people below the dormitory building drew plenty of attention. Many teachers and students returning from the cafeteria couldn't help stopping to watch.

Tang San was among them.

However, because the men were wearing Spirit Hall uniforms, neither the teachers nor students dared step forward to ask anything.

A Spirit Hall uniform was more than just proof of identity.

The number of emblems on the uniforms also revealed their spirit power levels. Those three were one Soul Saint and two Soul Emperors.

When people of that rank came out to handle business, not just anyone had the right to question them.

"You bastards, let me go! Do you know who I am?"

Just as everyone waited eagerly, a shrill, furious voice suddenly rang out from upstairs, causing everyone to look up.

"Teacher!"

When Tang San saw Yu Xiaogang being escorted downstairs by two Spirit Masters, his expression changed drastically.

He abruptly turned to look at Scarface.

The man's face had been smeared with blood earlier, so Tang San hadn't recognized him immediately. Only now did he sense something familiar.

Damn it!

Wang Dong was a wanted criminal of Spirit Hall, and his teacher had been close to him lately. There was no need to think about it—his teacher had definitely been implicated.

What do I do?

Tang San clenched his fists and stared fixedly at the backs of the three Spirit Hall members, seized by the urge to strike and kill them outright.

But there was one Soul Saint, two Soul Emperors, and two more people upstairs.

No matter how he considered it, he couldn't see much chance of victory. After all, he hadn't made many hidden weapons yet, and their power wasn't that great.

Soon, Yu Xiaogang was escorted to the first floor.

"You bastards, whose orders are you following? Do you know who I am? Do you know what relationship I have with your Pope?"

Yu Xiaogang glared at the Soul Saint and immediately fired off three questions in a row.

The Soul Saint said coldly, "Yu Xiaogang, for harboring a wanted criminal of Spirit Hall, by order of Her Holiness the Pope, you are to be arrested and imprisoned immediately."

Yu Xiaogang was instantly stunned.

Her Holiness the Pope?

Wasn't that Bibi Dong?

What kind of joke was this?

Bibi Dong loved him so much that she had even turned against her own teacher for his sake. How could she possibly issue such an order?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

These bastards had to be forging the order. It was even possible that they weren't from Spirit Hall at all.

"You dare forge the Pope's orders? Are you looking to die?"

Yu Xiaogang suddenly struggled with all his strength, trying to break free from the two men holding him. But how could his meager strength possibly escape the restraint of two Soul Emperors?

"Heh."

The Soul Saint sneered and turned to look at Scarface.

"Wang Dong, in Yuanshan Town of the Barak Kingdom, raped and murdered four members of the Liu Family. By order of the Pope, he is to be executed on the spot."

Only then did Yu Xiaogang notice Wang Dong being held behind the Soul Saint.

"Dong—"

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish shouting, one of the men restraining Wang Dong slammed a palm into Wang Dong's head, cutting him off.

Bang!

The powerful impact struck Wang Dong's head, causing it to explode instantly as red and white matter splattered everywhere.

"Brother Dong!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes nearly split apart, and his cry carried heart-wrenching agony.

"Blergh..."

Among the spectators, many students who had never seen blood before immediately bent over and retched at the bloody scene.

Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at Wang Dong's body as it collapsed limply to the ground.

At that moment, he finally understood. They hadn't forged the order—Bibi Dong had turned her love into hatred and wanted revenge on him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have killed Wang Dong in the academy, right in front of so many students.

"Take him away!"

The Soul Saint ignored Wang Dong, who had become nothing more than a corpse, and turned to the two men holding Yu Xiaogang.

"Outrageous!"

"My name is Yu Xiaogang! My father is Yu Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect! Does your Spirit Hall want to go to war with our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Knowing Bibi Dong could no longer be relied upon, Yu Xiaogang immediately invoked Yu Yuanzhen's name.

"Hehe!"

The Soul Saint froze for a moment, then looked at Yu Xiaogang with a face full of mockery.

"Don't you know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has already announced that your surname, 'Yu,' has been removed and that you've been completely expelled from the family register?"

Yu Xiaogang: "???"

He truly hadn't known about this, so hearing it now left him utterly bewildered.

How was that possible?

Why would his father remove his surname and expel him from the family register for no reason?

How could this be allowed?

Without the status of young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and without Bibi Dong's protection, what did Yu Xiaogang have left?

Wouldn't that mean anyone, man or ghost, could bully him from now on?

"Tsk, tsk..."

"Now Gangzi really doesn't know what his surname should be."

Lin Chen, watching the show, couldn't help laughing.

"Take him away!"

The Soul Saint didn't waste any more words on Yu Xiaogang. With a wave of his hand, he turned and headed out of the academy.

The others immediately followed.

"No! I want to see Bibi Dong! Let me go! You can't treat me like this! I want to see your Pope, Bibi Dong!"

Yu Xiaogang struggled violently and shouted madly.

Unfortunately, no matter how he struggled or shouted, it was useless. The five of them completely ignored his futile protests.

Just like that, Yu Xiaogang was taken away.

"Damn, he even dared harbor a wanted criminal of Spirit Hall and screw around with him in public. Master really doesn't know the meaning of death."

"Isn't that the truth?"

"If you ask me, he totally deserved it. He's the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, yet he just had to get involved in that disgusting crap."

After Yu Xiaogang and the others disappeared, the many onlookers couldn't help discussing the matter.

Tang San tightened his fists. Rather than argue with the people around him, he quietly slipped away from the crowd and chased after Yu Xiaogang and the others.

"Let's go."

Lin Chen glanced at Tang San's retreating back, then rose and headed toward the dormitory building.
