Chapter 64: A Public Slap

Chapter 64: A Public Slap

Taking the admission letter, Wang Si directly stored it in his own soul guide storage device.

Seeing the ashen-faced Shrek teachers and students, Wang Si clapped his hands.

"Take them down!"

Almost the instant Wang Si gave the order, the two Soul Douluo from Tianwu Academy sprang into action, their movements even faster than Wang Si's command.

Fland and Zhao Wuji were instantly subdued, and Shao Xin, a food-type Soul Saint, didn't even put up a struggle and was easily controlled by another Soul Saint.

With the teachers of the academy under control, the three students immediately lost their backbone and huddled together.

They warily eyed their surroundings, fearing that they would be next, but fortunately, no one paid any attention to them.

"What do you think you're doing? We're here to join your Tianwu Academy. What gives you the right to treat us like this?"

Yu Xiaogang was instantly subdued by a Soul King, but he still stubbornly lifted his head, defiance flashing in his eyes as he glared at Wang Si.

Wang Si turned and walked towards the academy's entrance without a backward glance.

"You want to join Tianwu Academy? Fine, I'll give you a chance to join.

But your little stunt has caused psychological trauma to our students and teachers of Tianwu Academy, and the businesses around us have also been affected by your actions.

Before you repay these debts, forget about joining Tianwu Academy for now."

Hearing Wang Si's words, Yu Xiaogang's temples twitched.

"What do you mean? Do you plan to enslave us and make us work for you to repay our debts?"

Working to repay a debt was just a euphemism for slavery. When had he, Yu Xiaogang, ever suffered such humiliation? Not to mention the three Soul Saints behind him—who would dare to enslave them so casually?

Did they really dare to offend him and three Soul Saints at the same time?

"Have you gone mad, boy? Do you really think you're so powerful just because you're the dean?

You dare to offend me and three Soul Saints? Have you been here at the academy for too long and forgotten the power of Soul Saints?

Let me tell you..."

Smack! A loud slap rang out at the entrance of Tianwu Academy.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been ranting, now had his head twisted to the side, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Wang Si gestured for the Soul King holding Yu Xiaogang to release him.

Yu Xiaogang's legs turned soft, and he plopped down on the ground, his mind still reeling from the shock.

Grabbing a handful of Yu Xiaogang's hair, Wang Si forced him to face Fland and the others.

"I just don't understand, what gives you the right to act so arrogantly? The most powerful and influential people in Shrek have remained silent from the start.

Yet here you are, barking like a clown. Do you really think you're so skilled?

You don't actually believe you're exceptionally clever, do you?

Or do you think you're incredibly awesome?

Then tell me, why do they remain silent? It's because they know they're in the wrong and that they deserve this punishment. As for you, you've been yapping nonstop like a clown.

I don't believe you're unaware of Tianwu Academy's rules! Anyone who bothers to read the admission letter, even just a few more pages, would know the rules of our academy."

As he spoke, Wang Si took out the admission letter and showed the "Enrollment Matters" section to Yu Xiaogang.

But as soon as he opened the letter, Wang Si couldn't help but snort derisively and then burned the letter to ashes.

"Now, tell me truthfully, do you look down on our Tianwu Academy, thinking that we're just a small, insignificant academy that was established only three years ago?

Do you also look down on me, thinking that I only became the dean because of luck despite my young age?

And what about Xue Qinghe? Do you think he's just an incompetent royal prince who isn't even the crown prince?"

Xue Qinghe, who was standing at a distance, touched his nose, feeling a bit offended.

With great patience, Wang Si crouched in front of Yu Xiaogang and slapped him repeatedly.

"You dare to look down on our Tianwu Academy? You, a waste who will never break through to level 30 in your lifetime? Hmph!"

Smack! "Who gave you the courage to act so arrogantly? Do you think your face is worth that much? Hmph!"

Smack! "Are you trying to impress the people from Shrek by disregarding our Tianwu Academy's rules? Hmph!"

Smack! "Are you so concerned about your pathetic face that you refuse to admit it was your fault that the teachers from Shrek ended up in such a predicament? Hmph!"

Smack! "Are you willing to sacrifice your students' safety and future for the sake of your pathetic face? Hmph!"

Smack! Smack! Smack! Yu Xiaogang's head buzzed as he was slapped repeatedly.

Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to lose consciousness, a bone-chilling coldness suddenly washed over his forehead, jolting him awake.

"Come on, tell me. Do you have some impressive identity that you haven't revealed yet? Show it to me and let me broaden my horizons.

With that face of yours, anyone can tell that you have a story to tell. I don't believe you don't have some powerful background or backing to match your arrogance!"

Hearing Wang Si's "reminder," Yu Xiaogang slowly stood up and tremblingly took out a token from his soul guide storage device.

"Ah, the Pope's Order. I am aware of it."

Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Wang Si recognized the Pope's token.

Just as he thought this identity would work in his favor, Wang Si abruptly snatched the token—the source of his pride—from his hand.

"How dare you! Are you aware of the significance of the Pope's Order?"

Without hesitation, Yu Xiaogang lunged forward to reclaim the token, but Wang Si effortlessly kicked him, sending him flying dozens of meters away.

After kicking Yu Xiaogang away, Wang Si didn't bother to look back at him. Instead, he turned to the surrounding shops and called out loudly, "There should be elders from the Spirit Hall around here, right?"

His voice echoed throughout the Tianwu Academy for a long time. Finally, a figure emerged from one of the nearby shops.

When Yu Xiaogang, who had just picked himself up from the ground, saw that there was indeed someone from the Spirit Hall present, his face turned red with embarrassment.

Wasn't this place under the jurisdiction of Xue Qinghe, the Grand Prince of Heaven Dou? How could there be someone from the Spirit Hall here!

The person who appeared was a Soul Emperor left behind by the Spirit Hall.

Wang Si bowed to him respectfully.

Then, he continued loudly, "There should also be elders from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan around, right?"

Upon hearing the name of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the enraged Yu Xiaogang's expression turned to one of sheer terror.

He didn't care if he lost face in front of this woman.

But if he were to embarrass himself in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he'd rather just die.

However, in the end, no one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stepped forward.

Perhaps even they didn't want to be associated with such a disgraceful person.

"As for this Yu Xiaogang, I won't target him for now, but I can't guarantee what will happen in the future.

So, I'd like to request that both parties convey this message to the powers behind you.

You can either turn a blind eye or choose to protect him. I'd like a clear answer from both sides."

After a moment's thought, Wang Si added, "If there are any powers that wish to bail out these teachers from Shrek, they may also express their intentions clearly."

These words were directed at the spies of other factions.

The spy from the Spirit Hall nodded and left.

In addition to this spy, several figures could be seen slipping away from the vicinity of the Tianwu Academy, from corners unseen by others.

Could there really be someone bold enough to want to enslave a few Soul Saints?

This statement was essentially giving other factions an opportunity: a chance to gain the friendship of several Soul Saints simply by paying a price.

A storm caused by Yu Xiaogang's desire to save face eventually ended with the teachers from Shrek being taken away.

As Fland passed by Wang Si, he paused slightly, and Zhu Ming, who was controlling him, also stopped in his tracks.

"What will you do with our three students from Shrek?" Fland asked, referring to the solitary figures of Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar.

After all, this whole fiasco was caused by the adults, and the students from Shrek were innocent bystanders.

Wang Si merely glanced at the three students who were huddled together, too afraid to make any sudden movements. He then casually waved his hand and said, "They can choose to leave for other academies, or they can join the Tianwu Academy.

However, if they join, they won't be able to enjoy the same treatment as formal students of the academy. Of course, they are also free to leave whenever they wish.

The choice is entirely up to them."

Wang Si's voice carried, and Tang San and the others heard his words clearly.

The three exchanged glances and chose to join the Tianwu Academy, as their teachers were here.

From the dean's words, they understood that someone would come to take their teachers away soon, and they could leave with them.

So, it made sense to wait for their teachers here at the Tianwu Academy.

The grand display from the Tianwu Academy gradually dispersed. This was the first time the academy had been challenged since its establishment three years ago.

Being the first such incident, the process was a little rough around the edges.

Moreover, they hadn't expected that the ones challenging the Tianwu Academy would only be three Soul Saints, which also explained why the whole event lacked excitement.

After all, the Tianwu Academy's opponents only consisted of a duck that kept quacking stubbornly, while everyone else was sensible enough to know when to back down.

The Tianwu Academy had been closed off from the outside world for three years, and spies from other factions had no way of infiltrating to gather information about the academy.

Today, the Tianwu Academy finally revealed its true strength to the other factions.

One could say that the foundation displayed by the Tianwu Academy exceeded that of most advanced academies.

Not to mention the fact that they had two Soul Douluo sitting at the top, which already surpassed most Soul Master academies.
