Chapter 84

Xie Xie said to Tang Wulin beside him, "Wulin, she said you were impulsive, but I'm not the kind of person who stirs up trouble. I don't know what your temper is like, but if it were me, I wouldn't be able to tolerate it."

Tang Wulin sincerely said to Gu Yue, "It was our first time facing flying soul masters. I was indeed impulsive back then. I'm sorry!"

Xie Xie was surprised and said, "Hey, you have such a good temper. She criticized you, and you even apologized."

Gu Yue chuckled, "Stirring up trouble is useless. To put it mildly, this is called acknowledging one's mistakes and correcting them. To put it grandly, it's called gentlemanly conduct. Do you think everyone is as petty as you? Wulin, I'll treat you to a Class A meal tonight. But just one."

Tang Wulin smiled, "Sure! A fly is still meat. Let's go. I'm hungry."

Ye Yingrong watched the three of them head towards the cafeteria, her eyes wide with shock. Even with her good composure, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

This wasn't a pre-planned strategy against us; it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. What does this mean? It means they were improvising on the spot! But why is their coordination so seamless?

She took out her soul conductor communicator and dialed a number.

Soon, a somewhat cold female voice came from the communicator.

"What's wrong, little sister?"

Ye Yingrong said, "Sis, we lost."

"Lost? Did the other side have flying soul masters too?"

Ye Yingrong smiled bitterly, "No. But their coordination was very seamless, and their individual abilities were excellent. Sis, you need to be careful. Your Class One has met their match. The students trained by the cold and proud man are not easy to deal with. You need to be mentally prepared!"

The other side of the communicator was silent for a moment, then the cold voice became even colder, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time. This time, I will return to him what he did to me back then."

"Sis, you..." Ye Yingrong didn't finish her sentence before the other side hung up.

Ye Yingrong sighed helplessly, muttering to herself, "You're just too competitive. Actually, when he rejected you back then, it wasn't a big mistake. You've been holding a grudge for two years!"

After dinner, Xie Xie suggested going out to play, but Tang Wulin directly refused. The reason was simple: he needed to practice.

Soul power is the foundation of everything. This was the most important theory that Wu Changkong taught them in their first theoretical class.

There are no shortcuts to improving soul power; it requires constant meditation to enhance it.

Since Tang Wulin refused to go, Xie Xie lost his motivation to go out. Just as he was about to start meditating like Tang Wulin and strive for the two-ringed level, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open with some urgency.

Zhou Changxi ran in, "Bad news, Xie Xie, Wulin, you should go check it out. A group of people is blocking the entrance to our academy. They seem to be quite influential. And, and they have large photos of you and Gu Yue, shouting for the academy to hand you over. I'm afraid someone from the faculty will come soon."

Tang Wulin had just started meditating but hadn't entered a deep state yet. Hearing this, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Xie Xie, who was sitting opposite him. Both of them felt a sense of tension. Could it be...

"Let's go, check it out!" Xie Xie jumped off the bed, and Tang Wulin also got up. The two of them quickly walked out. As soon as they left the dormitory building, they ran into Gu Yue.

"Did you hear about it?" Tang Wulin asked Gu Yue.

Gu Yue nodded but remained calm, "It's probably about yesterday, right?"

Xie Xie's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Let's go!" He started walking towards the main gate but was pulled back by Tang Wulin.

"Wait!" Tang Wulin said sternly.

Xie Xie angrily said, "What are we waiting for? If it's those people from yesterday, we'll beat them up again. They bully people and collect protection fees, and now they dare to report to the academy first."

Tang Wulin firmly held him, and Xie Xie, despite trying to break free, was no match for his strength.

Tang Wulin said sternly, "Don't be impulsive. This isn't that simple. Don't forget where we are. This is the Donghai Academy, a soul master academy. Knowing this, they still dare to come here, which means they have something to rely on. We are still too weak. Let's go find Teacher Wu first."

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Xie Xie calmed down. He was a smart person and understood Tang Wulin's point, so he no longer acted impulsively.

Gu Yue nodded, "I support Wulin. Let's go find Teacher Wu first."

Zhou Changxi, who was following behind, said, "This is a big deal. There are at least two hundred people blocking the entrance, and they look very aggressive. What did you guys do?"

Tang Wulin said, "I'll tell you later. Let's go find Teacher Wu first."

Wu Changkong had a very regular schedule. After dinner, he would only be in his dormitory meditating, so it wasn't difficult to find him.

Wu Changkong, wearing a very retro white robe, opened the door. Seeing that the three of them were knocking on the door, he coldly said, "Do you have any questions about your practice?"

Although Xie Xie was also cold and proud, he always felt a bit intimidated in front of Wu Changkong and subconsciously looked at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin said, "Teacher Wu, we got into trouble..." Despite being a bit nervous, he still mustered the courage to recount what happened last night.

Wu Changkong listened expressionlessly and then coldly said, "You are quite capable!" After saying this, he walked out.

The white robe seemed somewhat thin, fluttering in the wind, and his disheveled hair also flew up, giving him a detached and slightly cold appearance, creating a dreamlike visual effect.

Tang Wulin patted Xie Xie, who was somewhat dazed, and the three of them followed Wu Changkong towards the main gate.

Outside the Donghai Academy's main gate, the area was packed with at least two hundred burly men, each holding various weapons, including some soul conductors that were banned for civilian use by the Federation.

With the advancement of soul conductor technology, soul conductors had long developed to the point where ordinary people could use them. Although soul masters still held a high status, the gap between them and ordinary people had narrowed due to technology. For example, ordinary people could also operate soul conductor mechs. Below a certain level, the advantage of soul masters over ordinary people with soul conductors was not as significant. This was one of the reasons why these people dared to block a soul master academy.

Many intermediate and advanced students from the Donghai Academy had gathered near the entrance. The burly men held up three large photos, which were clearly of Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue.

In front, a few burly men were carrying a stretcher with Guang Long, who was wrapped in bandages.

Another group held up a large banner, "Killers must pay with their lives, debtors must repay their debts, hand over the murderers!"

Fortunately, this was a soul master academy, and although these burly men were confident, they did not storm the academy. The leader, over two meters tall and extremely muscular, had a shaved head and a full beard, looking like an upgraded version of Guang Long. He had his arms bare, revealing terrifyingly strong muscles, and his cold eyes scanned the crowd, searching for the three people in the photos.

"Who are you, daring to cause trouble at the academy gate?" At this moment, a furious voice rang out. Long Hengxu, leading a dozen teachers, angrily pushed through the crowd.

Seeing the appearance of these people, he felt a sense of tension, just as Tang Wulin had said. Knowing that this was a soul master academy, they still dared to block the entrance, which meant they had something to rely on.

"I am Guang Biao, and the one lying there is my brother," the muscular bald man said coldly. He didn't display any wild aura, but his deep voice echoed like thunder in everyone's ears.

Such strong soul power, this guy's cultivation...

Long Hengxu's pupils constricted, and then he suddenly remembered the name.

"Guang Biao? Are you the captain of the Donghai City mech battalion, Guang Biao?" Every city had its own armed forces, in addition to the regular police force that maintained order, there were also military deployments. Donghai City, being a large coastal city, had a mech battalion consisting of five hundred soul conductor mechs deployed by the Federation.
