As Tang San was slammed to the ground, Dorm Seven instantly fell silent.

Even those who knew Bai Ye's strength felt their hearts tremble at the sight.

Of course, none of them sympathized with Tang San.

He had brought it upon himself. He could not blame anyone else.

"I actually... lost." Tang San was stunned, unable to believe it.

Compared to the pain in his body, the blow to his pride hurt far more.

Before making his move, he had thought he could easily handle Bai Ye.

And someone had indeed been handled—but it was not Bai Ye handling him. It was Bai Ye handling Tang San, tossing him to the ground with one hand and rubbing him across the floor.

He had not used his full strength, but he still should not have been defeated so easily by Bai Ye.

"I was careless just now. I didn't dodge." After climbing back up, Tang San spoke with an unconvinced expression.

Seeing Tang San like this, before Bai Ye could say anything, Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others began criticizing Tang San one after another.

"You lost and refuse to admit it. Are you even a man?"

"Little Scumbag really is Little Scumbag!"

"Bad at it, but loves playing."

"Careless and didn't dodge? I think you simply couldn't dodge at all!"

Tang San's expression kept changing.

He could ignore everyone else, but the words of that little girl with the scorpion braid made his chest tighten with suffocation and grievance.

In the end, he let out a breath of stale air and forcibly calmed himself down.

"Again." Tang San looked at Bai Ye with a serious expression, determined to win in the next round.

Xiao Wu and the others began condemning him again, but Bai Ye immediately motioned for everyone to quiet down.

"Since you have a masochistic streak, I'll reluctantly agree." Bai Ye spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San launched a fierce attack, but the result was much the same as before.

Bai Ye reacted quickly and grabbed Tang San again.

Tang San's face changed drastically.

But before he could make another move, Bai Ye began wildly swinging him around, letting him experience the Wind Fire Wheels.

Then, Bai Ye swung him wildly from side to side with one hand, every swing making Tang San intimately acquaint himself with the floor.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Four times to each side. Only after eight swings did Bai Ye stop.

Tang San collapsed to the ground, completely drained of strength and questioning his life.

He had clearly gotten serious. How was he still being swung around and beaten?

Had he cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill and Purple Demon Eyes for nothing?

"Too brutal!" Wang Sheng felt lingering fear. Fortunately, Tang San had not been the first to report in today. Otherwise, with his own temperament, Wang Sheng would be the one lying on the floor right now.

"Boss Bai didn't even use his full strength on me just now." Xiao Wu was astonished.

Not long after, Tang San climbed back up again and ran crying out of Dorm Seven without looking back, going to find Yu Xiaogang.

However, Yu Xiaogang had never told him where he lived, so Tang San went to an overlooked corner and cried miserably by himself.

"Waaah..."

It had to be said that he had truly adapted to this body by now.

He was just like a child.

Before long, he felt hungry and ran back to the dormitory.

But the dormitory was empty. Wang Sheng had taken Bai Ye and the others to eat lunch.

Tang San made his bed, picked up a coarse flatbread, and began eating while sobbing.

"Why? Why couldn't I beat Bai Ye?"

"Waaah... How could I not even beat a child?"

"This doesn't make sense!"

But how could he know that Soul Power gained through cultivation was simply inferior to the strength bestowed by the system?

At the cafeteria, just as Bai Ye and the others arrived at the entrance, Yu Xiaogang and Principal Yuri arrived as well.

"Where's Tang San? Didn't he come with you?" Yu Xiaogang was confused when he could not find Tang San.

Bai Ye and the others turned their heads. They ignored Yu Xiaogang and greeted the principal beside him directly.

"Good." Yuri's aged face broke into a pleased smile.

Yu Xiaogang, having been ignored, looked unpleasant, resentment growing in his heart.

He continued asking, "Where is Tang San? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"

Yu Xiaogang raised his voice considerably, his tone carrying a strong sense of interrogation. It instantly drew the attention of many students and teachers.

"Xiaogang, why are you, a master, getting angry with children?" Yuri glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then looked at Bai Ye and the others. "Where is Tang San?"

"We don't know where he is. After he was defeated by our Boss Bai, he ran crying out of the dormitory. No one knows where he is now." Wang Sheng spoke, giving Yu Xiaogang a puzzled glance at the same time.

Why were you looking for Tang San?

"What? Tang San was defeated and even cried?" Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded. His beloved disciple had actually lost to someone else.

"Who did this?" Yu Xiaogang could not accept it.

"I did." Bai Ye stepped forward, then explained the whole process in detail.

Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng, and the others all spoke up to testify as well.

"That's right! That's exactly what happened! Tang San was the one who refused to know his limits and insisted on sparring. Our Boss Bai only hit him a little harder to make him give up on continuing to spar."

"And our boss even held back. Otherwise, would he have been able to run out crying? He'd probably be receiving treatment in the infirmary."

After understanding the whole story, Yu Xiaogang felt utterly miserable. His final disciple had been utterly crushed by a child who had rejected him!

"How could you hit so hard?" Yu Xiaogang glared viciously at Bai Ye, while also regretting that he had not insisted harder on taking him as a disciple.

But things had come to this, and he could not possibly bring up taking Bai Ye as a disciple again. Otherwise, Tang San would definitely run away if he found out.

"Principal, go eat first. I'm going to find Tang San." Yu Xiaogang could not be bothered with lunch.

Before Yuri could speak, Yu Xiaogang ran off.

"Little San, my good child, where are you?"

Yuri helplessly shook his head where he stood. Then he looked at Bai Ye with a benevolent smile. "You're Bai Ye, right? Innate Full Soul Power, and a mutated martial soul too. Would you like to come upstairs with me for a meal?"

Yuri extended his hand.

"Can they come too?" Bai Ye pointed at Wang Sheng and the others.

"Of course." Yuri smiled. As principal, he naturally knew what Innate Full Soul Power and a mutated martial soul represented. Besides, he was the principal. Let alone treating a few work-study students to a free lunch, even giving them three free meals a day until graduation would not be a problem.

Moreover, Bai Ye's words showed that he valued loyalty and friendship, making him even more worthy of investment.

"Boss!" Wang Sheng and the others were filled with gratitude. If they had money, they would have eaten upstairs long ago.

"Yay!" Xiao Wu's face was full of happiness.

Thus, the group followed the principal upstairs, leaving the students who had mocked them earlier completely dumbfounded.

After lunch, Bai Ye and the others returned to the dormitory together to rest.

On the way, an announcement sounded.

"Student Tang San, your teacher is waiting for you at the service desk. Please come over immediately upon hearing this."

"Student Tang San, your teacher is waiting for you at the service desk. Please come over immediately upon hearing this."

Hearing the announcement, Tang San put down his coarse flatbread, wiped his tears, and rushed out of the dormitory.

He was going to demand fatherly love from Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher? Master is Tang San's teacher? He took Master as his teacher?" Wang Sheng was surprised.

"That's right," Bai Ye said.

Other than Xiao Wu, Wang Sheng and the others all wore strange expressions.

"That Little San actually took him as his teacher?"

"What's wrong with taking him as a teacher?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion.

Wang Sheng said, "Master's strength isn't much to speak of. Put nicely, he's an academy advisor. Put bluntly, he's just freeloading. Not only does he not teach classes, he doesn't help the academy hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings either. I've even heard that despite being nearly fifty, he's only level twenty-nine. He'll never break through in this lifetime."

Xiao Wu said, "Then he's pretty pitiful, taking someone like that as his teacher."

"Who knows what he was thinking? I figure he may have been tricked by Master."

"I get it! Boss said Little San has the trash martial soul Blue Silver Grass, yet he possesses Innate Full Soul Power. Master seems to have some so-called ten great theories. Little San might be his next research subject."

Meanwhile, Master waited anxiously at the service desk. He was afraid Tang San could not bear the blow and might do something foolish.

Fortunately, he did not have to worry for long before Tang San arrived.

"Teacher!"

"Little San!"

The two rushed toward each other, moving everyone who saw them to tears.
