Chapter 89

"Let go!" The inspector's shouts grew louder each time, but this time, there was no response. Su Tang's four souls were still being stripped, cutting off her four senses; how could she hear his voice?

The only reaction she could make was through her Soul of Strength.

Su Tang's Soul of Strength had already broken through and connected, making her sense of touch extremely sensitive. The air movement caused by the wind of a punch allowed her to make a lot of judgments.

Lu Ping's punch, the inspector's punch—she couldn't see or hear them, but she could feel them. And based on this feeling alone, she had already determined that one of them was Lu Ping.

Lu Ping's target was their common enemy, and the conclusion was that simple.

So she acted, sensing the wind of the inspector's punch, Su Tang accurately grabbed the inspector's fist.

The inspector roared in anger and tried to break free with all his might.

In his view, this was just a lucky hit. Otherwise, during the Soul Severing cultivation, all senses were cut off; how could there be such precise judgment?

He underestimated Su Tang and soon realized it. He tried to break free from Su Tang's grip, but found himself floating in mid-air. The force he exerted was like a stone sinking into the sea.

He was thrown by Su Tang but not released. Although she had very sensitive tactile perception, accurately grabbing the target was not an easy task. It was safer to keep the target in her grip.

Su Tang swung her arm, lifting the inspector into the air; then she swung it down, slamming the inspector back to the ground.

Lu Ping quickly jumped to the side, almost getting hit.

Bang, bang, bang...

In a moment, the inspector had been spun around three times, thrown into the air, and slammed to the ground, dazed and completely unable to resist.

But Su Tang didn't know.

She had only thrown him three times, and that was her count. She felt it wasn't enough. A few more throws might be safer.

So the inspector was thrown into the air again, but this time, his companion had already reacted. A figure rushed into the air, grabbed him, and tried to save him. However...

Bang! Bang!

Both inspectors landed at the same time, one on top of the other. The one who tried to save him didn't succeed and ended up in the same predicament, underestimating Su Tang's strength.

Five times the strength, immense power!

In a moment, four inspectors from the Academy Supervisory Committee were in a sorry state. Two were on the ground, dazed and disoriented; one had been punched by Lu Ping and had a swollen face.

And one more!

Lu Ping had already targeted the last one, who no longer looked cold but showed signs of fear. Tensho Academy was one of the top academies in the Zhi Ling District, so even the inspectors from the Academy Supervisory Committee would maintain a certain level of courtesy. But they never expected that the academy would be so disrespectful, and the disrespect was beyond imagination, directly leading to physical confrontation.

"Do you know what you're doing!?" The last inspector had a high-pitched voice and raised it now.

"What do you want to do?" Lu Ping countered.

While they were exchanging words, Su Tang had already thrown the inspector twice more. The one who had gone to support was now on the ground, having been hit twice and unable to get up.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, a powerful voice pierced through the forest. Su Tang, who was normally insensitive to sound, felt the air movement, like a breeze passing through the forest. She couldn't hear the sound, but her mind captured the information. The sound didn't reach her through hearing but was directly transmitted as a thought.

"Sound Swallow!" The last inspector shouted. This was the signature ability of Tensho Academy's principal, Yun Chong, a well-known advanced ability that required the connection of the Soul of Sound and the Soul of Essence.

This surprised Su Tang, and she instinctively stopped. Yun Chong arrived instantly. The four inspectors from the Academy Supervisory Committee, who were usually high and mighty, were now in a sorry state. One had a swollen face and a nearly closed eye, two were groaning on the ground, and the last one was facing off with Lu Ping, no longer showing the usual coldness but cautiously guarding against possible attacks.

"Cough, cough..." Yun Chong coughed to suppress his laughter.

The academy was always resentful of the Academy Supervisory Committee but didn't dare to offend them. Seeing the inspectors in such a sorry state, Yun Chong felt secretly pleased, but he couldn't show it.

"Quick, help them up." Yun Chong instructed, and his students hurried to help the two on the ground. As they passed Su Tang, they showed clear fear, but Lu Ping had already pulled Su Tang aside and exchanged a puzzled look with Xi Fan, still not understanding what was happening.

The inspector who had been facing off with Lu Ping, seeing Yun Chong arrive, immediately changed his expression. He put away his caution and glared at Yun Chong. The students were being reckless, but the principal should know better, right?

Yun Chong, seeing the inspector's expression, felt quite frustrated. As a principal, he had to be cautious in front of these people. A few students from the mountains had made the inspectors from the Academy Supervisory Committee cautious. What a mess! He was no better than a few mountain kids.

"Principal Yun Chong, you must give us an explanation for this!" The inspector spoke directly to Yun Chong, ignoring Lu Ping and the others.

"Ha ha ha." Yun Chong laughed, but then said, "I'm afraid I can't give you an explanation."

"What?" The inspector looked ready to eat someone.

"Because they are not students of Tensho Academy." Yun Chong said.

The inspector was stunned.

"Then which academy are they from?" The inspector pointed at Lu Ping and the others.

"Xiafeng District." Yun Chong said calmly.

"Xiafeng District?" The inspector was stunned again. They were from the Zhi Ling District Academy Supervisory Committee and had no jurisdiction over the Xiafeng District. Even if they wanted to coordinate with the Xiafeng District Academy, it was impossible because the Xiafeng District had no Academy Supervisory Committee, and the relevant affairs were directly managed by the Xiafeng City Mayor's Office, which was not their ally.

"But they are still studying here, right?" The inspector thought for a moment and asked.

"No, they are not." Yun Chong really wanted to laugh. When he had invited them to study at Tensho, they had refused, which he had found embarrassing. Now he was grateful for their refusal. The inspectors had taken a beating for nothing. The Academy Supervisory Committee could only regulate the academies within their jurisdiction, and since these students were not in their jurisdiction, what could they do? They could continue to use force if they thought they had the strength, but looking at the swollen faces on the ground, it seemed they had a problem.

The inspector was completely stunned, never expecting this situation. At this moment, Xia Bojian and his students had also arrived. Hearing Yun Chong's explanation, Xia Bojian sneered and gave the inspector a meaningful look.

These four kids were a mess, but what about Chu Min? Chu Min was a Tensho Academy student and the top scholar. No matter who she taught, using the Soul Severing cultivation method was absolutely forbidden. How could Yun Chong defend her?

The inspector, though furious, had no immediate solution for those outside their jurisdiction. Seeing Xia Bojian's look, he had to put the sudden situation aside.

"Principal Yun Chong." The inspector put on a serious face and showed his badge to Yun Chong, though his identity was already clear.

"We received a report that a Tensho Academy mentor used the Soul Severing cultivation method. Is this true?" The inspector's gaze turned to Su Tang and Mo Lin, the two students clearly undergoing Soul Severing cultivation. There was no way to deny it. The inspector directly targeted the mentor, not mentioning the students.

Yun Chong's expression turned serious, and his pleasant mood vanished. He had been thinking about using the students' identities to his advantage, and it had worked. But the inspector was now focusing on Chu Min's mentor status, clearly at Xia Bojian's instigation. This inside-outside cooperation meant that Chu Min's situation was not going to be easy to resolve.

"Ah..." Yun Chong sighed, looked around, and asked, "Where is Chu Min?"

"Teacher Chu Min went to get some wine." Lu Ping answered and continued, "If you're talking about the Soul Severing cultivation, you don't need to find Teacher Chu Min. It has nothing to do with her; we are using this method on our own."

"Hmm?" Yun Chong was surprised but then understood. This student was quick to react! He realized that the Academy Supervisory Committee was helpless against them, so he took the blame for the Soul Severing cultivation. What a decent move!

Of course, Yun Chong knew that this wasn't for his sake or Tensho Academy's sake. Lu Ping was doing this to protect Chu Min. The intention to target Chu Min was too clear.

"You did it yourselves? Why did you come from Xiafeng District to Tensho Academy to do it?" The inspector sneered.

"Uh, why?" Lu Ping looked at Xi Fan.

"Maybe because the air here is better?" Xi Fan hesitated, not good at lying.

"Nonsense! Complete nonsense!" Xia Bojian couldn't stand it anymore.

Yes, it was nonsense, complete nonsense, everyone could see it, everyone knew it. But the question was, who could prove it?
