Slapping Yu Xiaogang in the Face

Notting Academy!

Returning to his old haunt, Su Chen felt deeply moved.

The gatekeeper standing at the school entrance rubbed his eyes hard when he saw Su Chen.

Compared to four years ago, Su Chen had grown taller and sturdier, but his handsome features still allowed the gatekeeper to recognize him at a glance.

"It's you, Su Chen!"

After recognizing him, the gatekeeper rushed into the academy like a gust of wind to report the news.

"Headmaster, Su Chen is back..."

Su Chen shook his head with a smile. Headmaster Gao Lu had treated him well back then, so it was only right that he came back to greet him.

Qian Renxue, She Long, and Ci Xue had not accompanied him. Their identities were not suitable for appearing openly in Notting City.

After informing him, Qian Renxue had gone to the Spirit Hall Branch in Notting City, saying she wanted to look through some materials.

A moment later!

Gao Lu arrived at the square outside the school gates with a group of academy teachers.

"Su Chen, it really is you!"

"Why did you come back today?"

"Did those esteemed figures who took you away come with you?"

Gao Lu asked in utter delight.

Su Chen smiled faintly. "I just returned from hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, so I stopped by Notting City to visit the headmaster and all the teachers."

"I came back alone. No one else came."

Gao Lu breathed a sigh of relief, though he also felt somewhat regretful.

That had been the young mistress of Spirit Hall, along with two mighty Titled Douluo. If they had visited Notting Academy, the academy would truly have been honored beyond measure.

It was better that they had not come.

Their little junior Soul Master Academy had nothing worthy of entertaining such people.

If they offended the great figures of Spirit Hall, Notting Academy could be shut down with a single word.

Still, seeing Su Chen return made Gao Lu feel greatly comforted.

The genius who had emerged from Notting Academy still remembered Notting Academy.

"So that's how it is. Xiao Chen, don't stand outside any longer. Let's go inside and sit down."

"You are the pride of Notting Academy. It is rare for you to return, so we must treat you properly."

"By the way, when those esteemed figures took you away to cultivate, how strong did you become? Hmm... You said you just returned from hunting Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. With your talent, did you perhaps break through to Soul Elder?"

Gao Lu's eyes shone brightly. He knew Su Chen had already possessed exceptional talent, and he had even received guidance from Titled Douluo. His current strength surely surpassed Tang San and Xiao Wu's.

Su Chen did not hide it from the headmaster who had treated him so well. His tone was calm, as though he were merely discussing everyday matters.

"Not Soul Elder. I broke through to Soul Ancestor."

Soul Ancestor!

Those two words stunned everyone present.

One had to know that even their headmaster, Gao Lu, was only a Soul Ancestor.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

A shrill cry rang out from the crowd.

It was Yu Xiaogang!

Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at Su Chen, his eyes full of suspicion. "Even Xiao San, whom I carefully trained, is currently stuck at level 29 Soul Power. What gives you the right to break through to Soul Ancestor!"

"From level 29 Soul Power to level 30 Soul Power is a threshold. Countless exceptionally talented Soul Masters have been trapped before this bottleneck."

"Su Chen, there must be a limit to your boasting. No guidance from any great figure can compare to me, the number one theoretical master of the Douluo Continent."

Su Chen raised his brows, momentarily speechless.

"Yu Xiaogang, you're still at Notting Academy? With all those baseless theories of yours, I thought you'd been thrown out long ago. I never expected you to still be freeloading at the academy."

"Tang San has Innate Full Soul Power. How could he possibly be stuck at the level 29 bottleneck? I think he was simply led astray by a fake master like you."

"You can't even break through level 29 Soul Power yourself. What do you know about true strength?"

The whispers around him and the strange looks cast at him from every direction made Yu Xiaogang's face turn green, then white.

Su Chen had voiced the thoughts of every teacher.

Yu Xiaogang acted lofty all day long, looking down on this and criticizing that, yet he himself was merely a level 29 Soul Grandmaster.

He kept claiming that he had trained Tang San, but Tang San had Innate Full Soul Power. What need did Tang San have for his training?

Yu Xiaogang snapped. His eyes turned bloodshot as he shouted, "My theories are flawless! Even the Pope of Spirit Hall acknowledged them! What right does a little bastard like you have to question me? Today, I will teach you what it means to respect your elders and teachers."

"Come out, my Luo San Pao!"

A purple glow flashed, and a purple-skinned pig materialized before him.

Su Chen inwardly cried out in alarm. This purple-skinned pig's farts were horribly foul.

They could not kill anyone, but they were deeply humiliating.

If Su Chen caught even a whiff of that stench, he figured he would want to kill someone.

He leaped forward, shattering the ground beneath his feet as his figure flashed ahead.

He raised his leg high, then brought it down in a chopping kick!

With a smack, the purple-skinned pig exploded beneath Su Chen's foot before it could even fart.

Yu Xiaogang suffered the backlash and collapsed while coughing up blood.

"Yu Xiaogang, today I returned to Notting Academy to visit the headmaster. If your farting purple-skinned pig really ruins the atmosphere, I'll shove an iron rod up your ass and let you experience what it feels like to be disgusted."

Yu Xiaogang was evil by nature. His methods were simply too disgusting, hurting the enemy for a thousand while harming himself for eight hundred.

With the Soul Power in his body flowing in reverse, Yu Xiaogang vomited mouthful after mouthful of blood. He nearly fainted from rage as he panted heavily and said:

"Su Chen, how dare you insult me!"

"You're finished. Xiao San will not let you off!"

"He has already gone to Shrek Academy, the number one academy on the continent. And Xiao Wu too—Xiao San will not only defeat you, he will also take away your beloved Xiao Wu."

Amusement flashed through Su Chen's eyes. Tang San and Xiao Wu really should have graduated by now. Once they went to Shrek Academy, Tang Hao would follow them there as well.

Only then did Gao Lu step forward to mediate.

"Stop fighting! Both of you, stop fighting!"

"Master, honestly, why argue with a child? You're already so old, while he is only a child."

"Xiao Chen, don't argue with Master. He is already at such an age, half his body in the grave, yet he still cannot break through level 29 Soul Power. He is depressed, so just yield to an old man."

"Give the headmaster some face. Come on, let's eat together. Tell us about your experiences over these past years."

Gao Lu led the other teachers as they gathered around Su Chen and headed into the academy.

As for Yu Xiaogang, no one offered him a hand or helped him up. His terrible popularity was plain to see.

Gao Lu's words made Yu Xiaogang vomit blood again. His eyes were filled with fury. "Hmph, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never mock an old man's poverty!"

"My disciple Tang San will certainly clear my name. On the day he becomes a Titled Douluo, you mediocre fools will finally learn how great my theories truly are."

With no one to help him, Yu Xiaogang could only struggle to his feet and limp back to his attic. He needed to pack his things and move out overnight.

He could not stay in this wretched place for even one more day.

If not for the books in his attic, he would have left with his disciple Tang San several days ago.
