Chapter 19: Sneak Attack
"The boss won!"
The moment Tang San hit the ground, Wang Sheng couldn't wait to jump out and announce loudly.
Voices of admiration rang out from all around.
Lin Yang was speechless; what was there to be happy about when it came to bullying a child?
If Tang San hadn't been so aggressive, he wouldn't have bothered to have any interaction with this guy.
At this moment, Tang San looked at Lin Yang's back, purple light flickering in his eyes as he gritted his teeth.
[Third Rule of the Tang Sect Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record General Principles: Once an opponent is identified as an enemy, if they have a way to court death, do not show mercy; otherwise, you will only bring trouble upon yourself.]
An opportunity!
He immediately raised his right hand. Accompanied by a faint mechanical click, a sleeve arrow silently shot toward Lin Yang's back like a bolt of lightning.
Hmm?
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yang spun around, a terrifying coldness flashing in his eyes.
He raised his hand and instantly caught the sleeve arrow.
The sharp arrow blade cut his palm, and drops of blood dripped onto the ground through his fingers, splashing like little blood flowers.
At this moment, the entire dormitory seemed to have been paused, and an invisible weight loomed over everyone's hearts.
Everyone looked at Tang San in shock, their eyes filled with fear.
They had seen everything that just happened; this Tang San actually... wanted to kill someone.
As for Tang San, he looked dazed. His sleeve arrow... had actually been caught with bare hands?
Clack!
A blood-stained long needle fell from his palm onto the ground, making a crisp sound.
Lin Yang looked at Tang San coldly.
"Were you trying to use this thing... to kill me just now?"
Tang San opened his mouth, but for a moment, he was unable to speak.
He knew that once he admitted it, the school would soon find out, and he would surely face the punishment of expulsion.
Having just come into contact with the world of Soul Masters, he absolutely could not accept such a result.
Beside them, Wang Sheng's face was flushed with indignation.
"Boss, what else is there to say? He wanted to kill you! Let's go tell the Dean."
The others chimed in one after another.
"Yes, that's right. Let's go report this to the teacher."
"I don't want to die for no reason one day."
"This is just too terrifying!"
The other students were agitated. They were Soul Masters, but up until now, they had never thought about killing anyone, especially not their own classmate.
Undoubtedly, on the first day of school, Tang San had provoked public outrage.
Just as Tang San was at a loss, a stiff voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
"Everything that just happened was just a misunderstanding!"
Everyone looked toward the door. Hearing this voice, Tang San felt as if he had caught a life-saving straw. He turned and hurriedly shouted,
"Teacher..."
Indeed, the person who arrived was Yu Xiaogang, carrying a stack of bedding in his hand.
Obviously, he had come personally to deliver things to his precious disciple, and as a result, he had unexpectedly witnessed a good show.
Tang San's failure was within his expectations.
After all, Lin Yang was a One-Ring Soul Master; both his Soul Power and physique were superior to Tang San's.
But the strength Tang San displayed was beyond his expectations.
That strange footwork and the pupil technique glowing with purple light looked like some kind of self-created Soul skills.
This further strengthened his determination to make Tang San his successor.
Only such a genius was worthy of his teaching.
As for the failure just now, he didn't take it to heart at all.
If he didn't let Tang San taste failure, how could he demonstrate his teaching level in the future?
Cough, cough...
Yu Xiaogang gave a light cough and then glanced at Lin Yang.
"I saw everything just now. Little San just accidentally triggered a mechanism when he fell. A little toy like this won't kill you; there's no need to make a fuss."
"Is that so?"
Lin Yang showed a hint of mockery.
"Then how about you try it yourself, Master?"
Yu Xiaogang's face darkened, and he shouted without hesitation,
"Lin Yang, look at yourself. You have no respect for your elders and you're bullying the weak. Do you really think that just because you obtained a Soul Ring, you can look down on everyone?"
"Heh..."
Lin Yang was so angry he almost laughed.
After Yu Xiaogang's twisted logic and unreasonable pestering, it turned out that he was the one in the wrong?
This old dog... really is tired of living... Shing!
The black sun wheel blade suddenly appeared in his palm, its sharp edge flashing with a cold light. A Soul Ring rose from beneath his feet, shimmering with a bright luster.
"Old dog, say that again if you have the guts..."
That sharp aura, refined to the extreme, pierced toward Yu Xiaogang's face like a needle.
He couldn't help but take a step back, raising his hand in front of him.
"Lin Yang, do you want to be kicked out of this school?"
"If I can't stay, I'll slay you first..."
Just as Lin Yang was about to move, a loud shout suddenly rang out.
"Enough!"
A more powerful and deep pressure suddenly appeared and then vanished in an instant.
By the time everyone reacted, the figure of a middle-aged man had appeared in front of Lin Yang, with a hand pressing down on his shoulder.
Seeing the newcomer, Yu Xiaogang seemed to have found a backer. He instantly "stood tall" and pointed at Lin Yang, shouting,
"Su Hong, quick... expel Lin Yang immediately..."
Hearing Yu Xiaogang call him by his name, a flash of displeasure crossed Su Hong's eyes, but he still turned to Lin Yang and said,
"Lin Yang, put your Martial Soul away first."
"Yes, Dean!" Lin Yang put away Scarlet Edge and said respectfully.
When the Dean appeared here, Lin Yang knew this matter had come to an end.
But this debt... he would remember it.
Seeing Lin Yang being so sensible, a flash of satisfaction crossed Su Hong's eyes.
Compared to the hysterical Master next to him, Lin Yang looked better in every way; moreover, he was an outstanding student of their school.
Previously, he had only occasionally heard Lin Yang's name, but seeing him today, this kid was indeed not simple.
His Soul Power level was definitely above level fifteen, and that blade was so sharp that even he felt a bit startled; its power was evident.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Su Hong gave a light cough.
"I have a general understanding of what happened. Tang San was wrong to attack, but you, Lin Yang, were also in the wrong for drawing your blade against the Master."
"Both of you are fined five silver coins, which will be deducted from your daily wages."
"Lin Yang, as long as you are in the school, you are not allowed to appear in front of the Master. Now, do you have any problems with this?"
This method of dealing with things heavily but settling them lightly made it clear that Su Hong did not want to favor either side.
Yu Xiaogang wanted to say something more, but in the end, he shook his head in silence.
He also sensed Su Hong's intention.
Lin Yang naturally wouldn't cause more trouble either. In any case, seeing that old dog Yu now made him feel so disgusted he wanted to vomit.
He paid the fine decisively, then took his luggage and left Dorm 7 under the reluctant gazes of the others.
Once Lin Yang left, the others in Dorm 7 made no effort to hide their hostility toward Tang San.
Part of it was because he had hurt Lin Yang, but most of it was fear of Tang San's ruthlessness.
With someone like this around, one would have to sleep with one eye open at night.
Seeing this, Su Hong could only rearrange Tang San's dormitory; at the very least, he could no longer stay in Dorm 7.
In the end, it was the Master who spoke up and arranged for Tang San to be in the room next to his, which would also make daily teaching more convenient.
Su Hong naturally wouldn't say much about this.
In this way, a bloody dispute was settled, but the grudge between Tang San and Lin Yang was also formed.
If Lin Yang had felt a tiny bit of guilt about taking the blue silver emperor spirit bone before,
Now he just wanted to say: I'm definitely taking your mother.
I can't touch you yet, but can't I touch your mother?
