The Kept Man King Driven Out of the Academy

He had not expected them to be this unlucky over the past few days.

They had bustled about for days and ended up in such a sorry state. It would have been one thing if they had successfully helped Xiao San obtain his second soul ring, but now they had not even gotten the second soul ring. All the suffering they had endured these past few days had been for nothing.

"Damn it, who the hell is so immoral that they'd casually throw around a seven-hundred-year soul beast? Don't let me find out who you are, or I'll skin you alive and tear out your tendons!!"

Tang San dragged his injured leg as he spoke with a face full of fury.

After enduring all sorts of hardships, they had almost made it out of Sunset Forest.

But then a plant-type soul beast of around seven hundred years had appeared out of nowhere.

Tang San had initially been thrilled, planning to kill it and obtain its soul ring. But unexpectedly—

Tang San had been caught off guard and his leg had been crushed by the rolling plant-type soul beast.

Thus, although that soul beast was well suited to Tang San and Master dearly wanted Tang San to stay and absorb its soul ring, there was nothing they could do. The excruciating pain from his shattered leg made it impossible for Tang San to calm himself and absorb the soul ring.

So, they could only choose to give up that soul ring.

They watched as the yellow soul ring vanished into the air.

In the shadows, Tang Hao felt somewhat awkward as he watched this scene. That seven-hundred-year soul beast was the one he had thrown. He had intended for Xiao San to kill it and obtain its soul ring, but who could have expected Xiao San's luck to be so terrible that the soul beast Tang Hao threw would break his leg?

When Tang Hao had first seen that he had actually broken Xiao San's leg, his face had gone blank.

Tang Hao found the scene before him incredibly strange as well.

He was even starting to wonder whether his strength had deteriorated this badly after going unused for so long.

In the end, after leaving Soul Hunting Forest, Tang San and his teacher found a clinic for some simple treatment. They then took a bath and rested for the night.

The next day, they left the outskirts of Soul Hunting Forest.

They hurried toward Nuoding Academy.

Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Tang San continuously circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to promote blood flow and disperse the bruising around his wound.

At the same time, he asked in confusion.

"Teacher, wasn't I expelled by the dean? Will he still let me enter the academy?"

"It's nothing. What Dean Yan said was merely said in anger. Once I go back and say a few words to him, you'll naturally be fine! Besides, when all is said and done, this time it truly was his fault. We bear no responsibility whatsoever!"

Master snorted coldly.

With his connections, settling the dean of a mere junior academy would be effortless.

Besides, if Dean Yan had killed that six-hundred-year Ghost Vine, none of the later trouble would have happened!

Therefore, everything was absolutely his fault!

It was all his fault!

"Don't worry, Xiao San. You definitely won't be expelled!!"

Hearing his teacher's assurance, Tang San gradually relaxed.

He began tending to his injuries with peace of mind.

Soon, after several days of travel, the two finally returned to the academy.

It was currently class time, so only one guard stood at the entrance.

When the guard saw Tang San leaning on a stick and Yu Xiaogang, he immediately snorted.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing?! Stop right there! No one besides this academy's students, teachers, and staff may enter!"

"You insolent fool! Tang San is my disciple, and you dare stop us from entering?! Who the hell do you think you are? Do you believe I can have you thrown out of here with a single word?"

Seeing that the guard actually dared to stop his disciple again, Master spoke with an icy expression.

However, this time, the guard spoke with complete confidence.

"Master, of course it's fine if you want to go in. But your disciple can't. The dean has spoken—Tang San has already been expelled. Since he's been expelled, he can no longer enter Nuoding Academy. All his belongings have already been packed up. You should tell him to go back where he came from!"

Previously, because Master was the dean's friend, the guard had not dared to be too arrogant. But now that the dean was displeased with both of them, why would he need to fear Master anymore?!

Was he supposed to fear Master farting him to death?

Hearing this, Master's brows furrowed even deeper. He then turned to Tang San and said.

"Xiao San, wait here. I'll go ask what's going on. I refuse to believe that Yan Tian would truly dare expel the disciple of Yu Xiaogang!! He's got some nerve!"

After saying that, Master strode quickly toward the dean's office.

"Hmph, he's nothing but a freeloader, yet he acts so high and mighty while living off others! Truly a rare sight in this world!!"

The guard watched Yu Xiaogang walk away with his head held high and sneered.

"Hey! Give me my things!"

Hearing that the guard actually dared mock his teacher, Tang San wished he could kill him on the spot.

But he was seriously injured, and his Hidden Weapons had been used up, so there was truly nothing he could do for the moment.

Hearing Tang San's words, the guard sneered as he took out a bundle and casually tossed it to him.

Tang San immediately took his belongings and carefully checked that nothing was missing before finally breathing a sigh of relief.

Then he promptly replenished the Sleeve Arrow on his arm.

This was his trump card. He would feel safer once it was fully stocked again.

But seeing Tang San's actions, the guard could not help but sneer.

"Hmph, with that little pile of junk, do you really think anyone would steal it?! No one would even want those things if you gave them away!"

"You!!"

Hearing the guard insult him like this, insulting the authentic products forged by the Tang Sect, Tang San dearly wanted to attack.

But he forcibly endured it.

Forbearance in small matters prevents the ruin of great plans. If I attack now, I definitely won't be able to stay. I can't make things difficult for Teacher.

Seeing Tang San's reaction, the guard became even more disdainful.

"Hmph, a teacher who lives off others without realizing it, and a cowardly, timid disciple. You two truly are a perfect match."

Hearing the guard's words, Tang San's eyes grew even redder.

But for the bigger picture, he still forcibly restrained himself from acting rashly and could only let the guard continue mocking him!

Meanwhile, Master went directly to the dean's office, where he happened to see the dean meditating.

Without any consideration, he immediately began rebuking him.

"Yan Tian, what do you mean by this?! Xiao San only said a few things about you. Are you really going to argue with a child? Restore Xiao San's student status at once. Xiao San still needs to attend class!"

Hearing Master's words, Yan Tian did not say much. He merely spoke coldly.

"Master, my decision is final. Nothing you say will change it. This time, for the sake of our many years of friendship, I spared Tang San once. Otherwise, given that he insulted me like that while he was a student, while he was the weaker party, and while I was helping him obtain a soul ring free of charge, the fact that I did not kill him was already exceedingly generous!"

Any Soul Ancestor and academy dean would find it unbearable to be mocked and humiliated by someone they had wholeheartedly helped.

On the Douluo Continent, where strength was respected above all else, even if Yan Tian beat Tang San to death, no one would say anything.
