When Patience Ran Out, There Was No Need to Endure! (Please Vote!)

"Hehe, young man, you're the gatekeeper of Nuoding Academy, right? I'm Jack, the village chief of Holy Soul Village. I've come to enroll these two children from our village at Nuoding Academy."

Looking at the gatekeeper before him, Old Jack bent at the waist and spoke with a placating smile.

"What Soul Village? Holy Soul Village? Heh, more like Crap Soul Village! You say you're here to enroll at our Nuoding Academy? What a joke! Looking at you poor lot, you probably can't even scrape together a single Silver Soul Coin, yet you want to enroll at our Soul Master Academy? Get lost, get lost! We don't take beggars here!"

Upon hearing Old Jack's words, the gatekeeper first picked at his ear, then gave Old Jack a contemptuous once-over. Waving his hand as if shooing flies, he spoke with utter disdain.

"You!!"

The Holy Soul Village he had devoted his entire life to was being insulted as a Crap Soul Village. Old Jack's heart immediately flared with anger, and his hand gripping his cane tightened. Veins bulged across his gaunt hand.

But as if he had remembered something, Old Jack forcibly suppressed his anger and managed a strained smile. "They aren't enrolling as regular students. These two children both have Work-Study Student slots, so they don't need to pay any fees."

"Oh~, changing your tune now? Work-Study Student slots? Our academy hasn't had any Work-Study Students in years, and now two pop up at once this year? Hehe! That's really hilarious! Hand over their Martial Soul certificates. I'd like to see what kind of genius a trash village like yours could possibly produce!"

The gatekeeper was still full of disdain. He directly held out his hand and demanded Lin Ye and Tang San's Martial Soul certificates from Old Jack.

Hearing the gatekeeper continue to insult his village, a flash of anger passed through Old Jack's eyes. Still, he took out Lin Ye and Tang San's Martial Soul certificates and handed them over.

At the side, Lin Ye's gaze turned cold when he saw Old Jack's actions, and his hands clenched into fists.

As Old Jack's grandson, Lin Ye naturally knew how deeply his grandfather loved Holy Soul Village.

Having heard the gatekeeper insult Holy Soul Village twice, Lin Ye could imagine the anger his grandfather Old Jack was feeling at this moment.

But Grandfather Old Jack had once taught Lin Ye that when he went somewhere unfamiliar, especially a large city, he had to keep a low profile.

Unless absolutely necessary, he should not casually stir up trouble. So Lin Ye held himself back, since his grandfather had not yet suffered any actual harm.

But inwardly, Lin Ye issued the gatekeeper an ultimatum.

If you dare make Grandpa angry again, I absolutely won't endure it anymore!

Lin Ye stared coldly at the gatekeeper, secretly clenching his fists.

On the other side, after taking the Martial Soul certificates Old Jack had handed over, the gatekeeper began to examine them.

But the longer he looked, the deeper his frown became. In the end, he simply sneered and threw the two Martial Soul certificates in his hand away.

"Hehe, what an absolute joke! What the hell is this? Innate Full Soul Power with Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power with Begonia Flower? I've been a gatekeeper for so many years, but I've never seen Martial Souls or Innate Soul Power like these. Old man, if you're going to forge Martial Soul certificates, at least make them look believable, will you? These two certificates are practically treating everyone else like idiots!"

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't forge the Martial Soul certificates! These two certificates were personally issued by the Battle Soul Master who came to our village. Don't you dare slander me!"

Hearing the gatekeeper's words, Old Jack could no longer endure it and shouted angrily.

Forging Martial Soul certificates was a serious crime! Although he knew that both certificates were genuine, having such an accusation suddenly pinned on him was more than Old Jack could tolerate.

"What? Embarrassed because I hit the truth? Hmph! You old bastard, a dead poor beggar like you can forget about entering Nuoding Academy. Get the hell out of my way!"

As he spoke, the gatekeeper reached out, preparing to shove Old Jack aside. This time, Lin Ye could endure no longer.

"You're courting death!"

Seeing the gatekeeper actually trying to hurt his grandfather Old Jack, Lin Ye's eyes instantly turned icy.

His figure flashed, and Lin Ye appeared before the gatekeeper in an instant. He shot out his right hand, seized the gatekeeper's hand, and twisted it viciously.

"Aah!!!"

The gatekeeper immediately let out a pig-slaughtering scream.

Looking at the disgusting gatekeeper, Lin Ye had already started hitting him and could not be bothered to hold back.

While gripping the gatekeeper's hand, Lin Ye directly threw out a kick, driving it into the gatekeeper's chest and sending him flying.

After flying several meters, the gatekeeper slammed heavily into the iron gate, knocking it open before crashing hard onto the ground.

"Ow..."

Struggling up from the ground, the gatekeeper braced himself against the iron gate with his right hand and barely managed to stand. His left hand was still trembling painfully from Lin Ye's twist.

Staring at Lin Ye, the gatekeeper's face immediately filled with rage.

"You brat, you actually dared to attack me! I'll make you regret this!"

Though his left hand was injured, in his extreme fury, the gatekeeper picked up a stone from the ground with his right hand. A savage expression appeared on his face as he charged at Lin Ye.

"Lin Ye, be careful!"

Seeing the gatekeeper's actions, Old Jack was greatly alarmed.

Tang San, meanwhile, wore a grave expression. As if unconsciously, he raised his right hand and vaguely aimed it at the gatekeeper.

But hearing Grandfather Old Jack's warning, Lin Ye did not respond. Instead, he charged straight forward, circulating the Nine Yang Divine Skill and swinging his right fist directly at the stone the gatekeeper was bringing down.

Seeing Lin Ye's actions, a gleeful look of vengeance appeared on the gatekeeper's face, as though he were saying, This brat actually wants to catch a stone with his fist? What an idiot! But before his eyes, Lin Ye's fist collided with the stone.

Yet after being tempered by the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill, and with Nine Yang True Qi protecting his body, the stone did not injure Lin Ye. Instead, under Lin Ye's punch, it directly... shattered! "What?!"

Seeing what had happened before him, the gatekeeper's eyes widened, and he was completely dumbfounded.

Amid the gatekeeper's shocked gaze, Lin Ye's fist smashed apart the stone in his right hand, tracing a marvelous arc through the air before striking the gatekeeper heavily in the face.

In an instant, the gatekeeper's entire face twisted out of shape. His bulging eyes nearly popped from their sockets, while several bloodied teeth were flung from his mouth as his head snapped aside.

Under the tremendous force striking his face, the gatekeeper flew away once more. After soaring diagonally several meters into the air, he crashed heavily onto the ground and rolled several times.

The excruciating pain in his face made the gatekeeper scream miserably and writhe across the ground.

"Yoo jusht wait! I'm Nuoding Academy's gatekeeper! You dare hit me? Our Nuoding Academy won't let you get away with this!"

Though waves of agony ran across his face, the gatekeeper's heart was full of venom. With many teeth missing and his words leaking through his mouth, he shrieked miserably.

"Hmph! You're nothing but a gatekeeper. I'd like to see whether an incoming student with Innate Full Soul Power is less important than a mere gatekeeper like you. If the famous Nuoding Academy cannot even uphold basic fairness and justice, then it isn't worth attending!"

Lin Ye did not care in the slightest about the gatekeeper's threat and merely replied coldly.

Just as Lin Ye was speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"What happened?"
