Yu Xiaogang's expulsion
The Message of Nuoding Dean's murder and the appointment letter for the new Dean of the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy arrived in Nuoding City and were delivered to the Nuoding Academy before Lu Yang and his group.
The Barak royal family members weren't all fools. With She Long's deliberate revelation, they already knew the cause of Nuoding Dean's death. Therefore, in the requirements for appointing a new Dean, they emphasized the need to deal with the culprit who caused all of this!
Therefore, the first thing the newly appointed Nuoding Dean did upon taking office was to expel Yu Xiaogang, who had been shamelessly freeloading at the Nuoding Academy.
Originally Yu Xiaogang wanted to make a fuss about Tang San, but after the new Nuoding Dean learned about the situation, he didn't give him any face at all and directly scolded Yu Xiaogang in front of many teachers and students of the academy!
"Yu Xiaogang, you fame-seeking good-for-nothing! You're fifty years old and not even level thirty, a piece of trash who'll never break through to Soul Elder in your lifetime. Do you really think Tang San was able to cultivate to his current level because of your teaching?"
"He Innate Full Soul Power. Even if his Martial Soul is the low-quality Blue Silver Grass, with his talent, he can become Soul Saint or even Soul Douluo in the future. If he works hard, becoming Titled Douluo is not impossible. And you, besides your common-sense theories, what can you do to help him?"
"Can you help him hunt for a thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year-level Soul Ring? Or can you impart to him the cultivation experience of a Soul Ancestor or Soul King? You can't do anything, and you can't give him anything! Where do you get the audacity to say you're qualified to teach such a genius?"
"And look at the First Soul Ring you made Tang San acquire? A Mandala Snake! The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is clearly a plant Martial Soul, yet you insisted on making him absorb an animal Soul Ring. What kind of logic is that?"
Yu Xiaogang was already red-faced from being berated by the new Dean, but when he heard the other party questioning his theory, he immediately became furious.
"What do you know! That's the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory that I, the Grandmaster, spent countless hours researching! And Tang San is the best proof of Grandmaster theory. Moreover, the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with the added Mandala Snake Soul Ring not only increases the Martial Soul's resilience but also gives Martial Soul the necessary conditions to become Control System Martial Soul. What's wrong with that?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's barking, the new Dean scoffed, "Increasing the resilience of your Martial Soul? Wouldn't that make absorbing plant-type Soul Beast even more effective? As for poison attributes, aren't there plenty of poisonous plants?"
"Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang, your so-called Martial Soul Mimicry Theory is simply common knowledge that everyone knows. How dare you claim that you developed it?"
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense! That's what I researched, how dare you slander me!" Yu Xiaogang was furious, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily, jumping up and down, looking like a clown in everyone's eyes!
"Slander?" The new Dean was almost laughing at the Yu Xiaogang.
With a flick of his arm, a long spear appeared in his hand. He pointed the spear tip at Yu Xiaogang: "Yu Xiaogang, then tell me, if the Martial Soul Mimicry Theory isn't common sense, then wouldn't my Spear Martial Soul only be able to absorb spear-wielding Soul Beast?"
"This... I..."
Upon hearing the new Dean's words, Yu Xiaogang was speechless. Indeed, his Martial Soul Mimicry Theory, though seemingly profound, was actually common knowledge known to everyone. Otherwise, wouldn't all the Martial Soul Master on the continent be unable to absorb a suitable Soul Ring in their entire lives?
"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Get out of here, you're not welcome at the Nuoding Academy Dean! As for the expenses you've incurred by freeloading at the academy over the years, use your precious books to pay off the debt!" the new Dean said.
"You... you... you're being unreasonable!" Yu Xiaogang was so angry that he was almost incoherent.
But the new Dean wasn't going to tolerate him, and directly unleashed his Soul Power pressure on Yu Xiaogang. He was a Soul King, and how could Yu Xiaogang, a fifty-year-old level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster, withstand his pressure?
Intimidated by the power of the Soul Power, Yu Xiaogang shut his mouth. He was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that the other party would not give him any face, he naturally dared not continue barking.
But Yu Xiaogang wouldn't just give up on his precious disciple like that. He looked at Tang San and said, "Little San, would you like to leave with me? Leave Nuoding Academy, and I'll take you to a better place."
"Teacher, Little San is willing to leave with you!" Tang San said respectfully.
He had witnessed the new Dean "insulting" Yu Xiaogang, and boundless anger had already ignited within him. Even the new Dean's reasonable and well-founded arguments were completely ignored because of his respect and affection for Yu Xiaogang.
If there weren't so many people around, he really wanted to use the Hidden Weapon he carried to teach the new Dean a lesson and make him remember it.
Now that Yu Xiaogang was preparing to take him away, Tang San naturally wouldn't refuse. Seeing this, the new Dean sighed inwardly, "A promising talent with Innate Full Soul Power, wasted by this good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang. It's all the former Dean's fault for being blind and letting Yu Xiaogang stay in the academy."
Having received Tang San's promise, Yu Xiaogang was finally relieved. As for the books in his office, their value was nowhere near that of Tang San. As long as Tang San was willing to leave with him, those books were completely unimportant.
However, after leaving Nuoding Academy with Tang San, Yu Xiaogang did not leave Nuoding City directly, but stayed in the city temporarily. Tang San had not forgotten his beloved Rabbit Dance sister, and he planned to return to the academy after dark to find Xiao Wu and take her with him.
Xiao Wu was Innate Full Soul Power, and she had a close relationship with Tang San. Since Tang San wanted to take her with him, Yu Xiaogang naturally wouldn't object.
Two days later, Lu Yang and his group arrived in Nuoding City.
The Crown Prince's entourage belonged to the Royal Knights, and they couldn't be taken to a small place like Windbreath Village. Therefore, Lu Yang and his group had to come to the city first to settle the Knights before heading to Windbreath Village.
Lu Yang had originally planned to cause trouble for Yu Xiaogang on his way, but when he arrived at the Nuoding Academy, he learned that Yu Xiaogang had already been expelled. Tang San and Xiao Wu had gone with him.
Lu Yang and Tang San were the same age, and according to the original story, it wasn't yet time for Tang San to graduate and go to the Shrek Academy. He spent a few Silver Soul Coin to inquire with the students at the academy, and only then did he learn the whole story. He smiled helplessly. It seemed that this time, fate was helping Yu Xiaogang, allowing Yu Xiaogang to escape a disaster.
However, he Yu Xiaogang n't hide forever; there are only a few places he can go. Moreover, he also needs to "train" Tang San, which further reduces his options. He might escape this time, but he won't be able to in the future.
