Intermediate Department Teaching Affairs Office.
Long Hengxu stood behind Yu Zhen, rubbing his hands awkwardly. "Dean, we're here. They're all inside. You see..."
"Alright, you've already brought me here. Do you think I'm going to run away? I'll handle it. But your approach is really regressive. Just because that organization is involved, you're so timid and hesitant. How can you possibly learn anything?"
Yu Zhen rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. How old is he? Why should an old man like him mediate a fight among freshmen?
"Hehe, the dean is right, I've learned something."
"You're the dean of students, you haven't done anything wrong, why are you being so timid? Don't do it again next time."
Listening to the dean's reprimand, Long Hengxu didn't refute it, but he wondered to himself, "What can I do?" If he were just a disciple of the Spirit Pagoda, he would dare to deal with him for his mistake.
Who knows why Wu Changkong took a liking to this kid? He even came over and glared at him. He had no idea what it meant, and he was really flustered.
Could this kid have been noticed by both Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda at the same time? Or do these two powerful forces have some kind of cooperation intention? Before figuring it out, how could he, a mere dean of students, dare to provoke them? So, of course, he pulled out the tall dean.
Pushing open the door and entering the office, Yu Zhen sat down at his desk, looking at the four students below him with a stern face, his expression so dark it seemed about to drip water. "I've heard about what happened to the four of you. You're really something, getting into a fight on your very first day. If you're so capable, why didn't you go to Shrek Academy?"
He immediately put on a show of force, and my boy was so intimidated by him that he dared not utter a word, since fighting was indeed dishonorable.
Zhou Changxi, Yun Xiao, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie stood in a row.
Xie Xie looked aggrieved, his eyes filled with grief and indignation. He looked at Tang Wulin as if he had been bullied by Tang Wulin.
Zhou Changxi's face was ashen, and he had many wounds on his body, but if you looked closely, you could see a trace of fear deep in his eyes. He had never looked at Tang Wulin's side.
Damn, this kid is really strange! He actually has a hundred-year-old soul ring!
Mom, I'll never bully anyone again, I want to go home!
"Teacher, we..."
Yun Xiao braced herself and recounted what had happened in a logical and organized manner.
Yu Zhen listened without comment, but his gaze lingered slightly on the bracelet on Tang Wulin's hand. He had just seen this mark. "Another genius from the Spirit Pagoda? But he doesn't seem to be like the previous two. Oh well, he didn't do anything wrong. Just deflate his arrogance."
Since Tang Wulin did nothing wrong, and the Spirit Pagoda had its reputation, Yu Zhen, being a seasoned veteran, naturally knew what to do.
Donghai Academy has had its share of students who received funding from the Spirit Pagoda and were recruited by them at a young age for displaying talent. The Spirit Pagoda seems to have some unique method of detection; those Soul Masters who seem ordinary in terms of Soul Power and Martial Soul, with little potential for growth, often shine brightly after being recruited by them, utterly humiliating others.
The last student like this in their academy possessed a powerful earth dragon martial soul, and was rumored to also have a trace of dragon blood. Under the nurturing of the Spirit Transmission Tower, his martial soul evolved into a Heavenly Gang Dragon, a true dragon. Although it was only one of the weaker types of true dragons, it was still a true dragon. Dragon-type martial souls have always been among the most powerful, and true dragons are synonymous with strength.
Legend has it that the beast god Di Tian of the Spirit Pagoda is actually a real dragon.
It can be said that this student's achievements are limitless.
However, he has not forgotten his roots. Now he has returned to his hometown to work, and it is said that he is striving to obtain the title certificate. He may very well become the first local titled Douluo in Donghai City in a thousand years.
"Tang Wulin, you acted in self-defense, but fighting is not a good thing. Pay the fine and go to Class Two."
Tang Wulin looked up in surprise. Go to Class Two?
"What? You think my punishment is unreasonable?"
"No, no! You're so wise!"
Tang Wulin quickly shook his head. Of course, that's not what he meant. Donghai Academy divides classes based on talent and strength. He didn't expect the punishment to be so lenient, only putting him in Class 2. And Class 2 isn't much different from Class 1.
Is this punishment merely symbolic?
He felt something was off.
"Zhou Changxi, with your martial spirit type, you should have been able to enter Class Three, but your level was a bit too low. But it seems your character is just as low. You deserved to be beaten up; you'll stay in Class Five forever."
Zhou Changxi wanted to argue, but when he saw Yu Zhen's serious expression, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Get out. If you're so capable, go back and keep fighting. If you fight again, your records will be on your files. Those records will determine whether you can be promoted to the advanced division and become mecha pilots in the future. If you have the guts, then fight. If you really want to fight, don't let the academy find out. Otherwise, you will be severely punished."
……
After the four of them left the office, they were all filled with lingering fear and regret.
Zhou Changxi and Yun Xiao dared not linger for a moment, as if getting close to Tang Wulin would mean certain death, and fled in a panic.
In particular, Zhou Changxi, who stirred up trouble, came from a poor family. Although his martial soul was the extremely excellent Hercules Ape, his spirit was inferior. He should have been able to enter Class 3, but he was assigned to Class 5 instead.
He didn't dare to resist at all, because, in the end, it was his own hand that was acting up!
While he was filled with regret, little did he know that there was someone even more regretful than him, namely Xie Xie.
"Tang Wulin, you've been hiding your true colors," Xie Xie gritted his teeth, pointing at the boy with a look of grief and indignation. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one being bullied.
"What are you talking about?"
Tang Wulin looked at him, puzzled.
What is he hiding?
"You have the Spirit Pagoda bracelet, why didn't you say so sooner? If you had shown it, no one would have bullied you!"
It's too yin.
Xie Xie was in tears. This kid was really cunning. Now that his family knew he had clashed with a genius who was suspected of being favored by the Spirit Pagoda, he probably had no hope of getting his allowance this month.
So you're carrying a powerful weapon, pretending to be all sweet, and plotting against people?
"Huh? You mean this? Is this thing really that useful?" Tang Wulin raised his hand in a daze, looking at Xie Xie's still changing expression, and deeply realized the value of the Spirit Pagoda.
So, as long as others see the bracelet, they won't bully me anymore?
Damn, are you trying to show off?!
Xie Xie stomped his foot in anger, unsure whether the other person was genuinely stupid or just pretending to be innocent. But to avoid being disciplined by his father, he said, "I'll pay your fine for you, please don't be angry..."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, hehe."
Tang Wulin touched the bracelet and revealed an innocent smile.
"Uh. You're not thinking of using this to stage an accident, are you? I advise you not to do it." Xie Xie thought this kid was cunning from the bottom of his heart, and said with a look full of suspicion.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately straightened his face, exuding righteousness, and said, "What are you saying? I would never use it for anything bad."
"Fine. Anyway, you have it."
Xie Xie had nothing to say.
"My name is Xie Xie!" The aloof young man stood in front of Tang Wulin and said coolly.
"You're welcome," Tang Wulin replied instinctively.
Xie Xie's face instantly fell. He gritted his teeth and said, "I meant, my name is Xie Xie."
"How could you have such a strange name?"
I wanted to say that too. I'm going to change my name as soon as I get home. I really can't stand this awful name for even a day longer.
