Chapter 58

Eleventh-level top-tier soul beast! At the thought of Huang Xiaolong possessing an eleventh-level top-tier soul beast, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu’s eyes shone brighter and brighter, their gazes making Huang Xiaolong feel like a sheep among tigers!

Of course, the two of them had not ruled out the possibility that Huang Xiaolong’s soul beast might be at the twelfth level, but twelfth-level soul beasts were extremely rare. In the entire Broken Blade Empire, there were no more than ten people with twelfth-level soul beasts! Could the Huang Xiaolong before them possibly have one? Therefore, the two of them were more willing to believe that Huang Xiaolong’s soul beast was at the eleventh-level top-tier.

In the eyes of the surrounding crowd, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were standing there, staring fiercely at Huang Xiaolong. Many people began to gloat.

Just as these gloating freshmen and upperclassmen thought Huang Xiaolong was about to be in trouble, Sun Zhang suddenly smiled and said to Huang Xiaolong, "You’re Huang Xiaolong, right? I’m Sun Zhang, the principal of Starry Sky Academy." His tone was incredibly gentle, as if he was afraid that a louder voice might scare Huang Xiaolong.

Everyone was taken aback, then stunned, as they saw the principal’s most radiant smile ever.

At this moment, Xiong Chu even laughed, "I’m Vice Principal Xiong Chu. We met a few days ago, nice to see you again!"

Nice to see you again?!

Xiong Chu, who was always stern and strict, actually said "nice to see you" to a freshman?!

Everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning.

Sun Zhang then smiled, "Xiaolong, you were really ruthless just now. If you had been a bit slower, Jiang Teng would have been crippled."

Xiaolong? Just now, he was still Huang Xiaolong, but now he was directly called Xiaolong! Everyone felt their eyes rolling back. Although Sun Zhang said this, his tone was incredibly polite, with no hint of blame.

At this moment, suddenly, more than ten people flew over from a distance, and the one at the front was none other than the third-year teacher, Zhong Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Yuan and the others arrived. Seeing Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, he couldn’t help but step forward to greet them. After the greeting, Zhong Yuan said, "Principal, Vice Principal, it’s even better that you’re here. I just received a report that in the freshmen competition, Huang Xiaolong disregarded the rules and ambushed Jiang Teng, causing him serious injuries. I was just about to bring him to you two for your judgment!"

After saying this, Zhong Yuan turned to look at Huang Xiaolong, waved his hand, and said to the more than ten law enforcement officers behind him, "Go, capture Huang Xiaolong for me!"

Jiang Teng was a personal disciple of Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu. Now that he had been seriously injured by Huang Xiaolong, Zhong Yuan thought it was a good opportunity to show off in front of Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu.

"Yes, Captain Zhong Yuan!" the more than ten law enforcement officers responded.

Zhong Yuan was not only a third-year teacher but also the captain of the academy’s law enforcement team.

Just as the more than ten law enforcement officers were about to move to capture Huang Xiaolong, Sun Zhang’s somewhat irritated voice rang out, "Stop!"

Hearing Sun Zhang speak, the more than ten law enforcement officers couldn’t help but stop in their tracks.

"Alright, all of you step back. We will handle this!" Sun Zhang waved his hand and said, his radiant smile disappearing.

However, Zhong Yuan clearly didn’t understand Sun Zhang’s meaning. He thought that Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were furious about Huang Xiaolong seriously injuring Jiang Teng, so they were dismissing them to deal with Huang Xiaolong personally.

Zhong Yuan laughed, "Principal, it’s just a freshman. How could we trouble you to deal with him personally? We can handle it!" With that, he flashed forward and reached out a claw toward Huang Xiaolong, taking action himself.

Just as Zhong Yuan approached Huang Xiaolong, a figure suddenly flashed, moving even faster than Zhong Yuan. With a wave, a slap sent Zhong Yuan reeling backward.

Silence fell around them.

Zhong Yuan covered his left cheek, looking at Sun Zhang, who had just blocked Huang Xiaolong, in disbelief. The one who had slapped him was actually their principal, Sun Zhang!

At this moment, Sun Zhang’s eyes were like knives, staring at him. He had never seen the principal with such a fierce gaze, which made him feel a chill run down his spine.

"Didn’t you understand my meaning?" Sun Zhang’s face darkened, "Get out of here!"

At this moment, even if Zhong Yuan were a pig, he would have seen that their principal, Sun Zhang, was extremely angry.

"Yes, yes, Principal, I’ll leave, I’ll get out!" Zhong Yuan’s face changed dramatically, and he said in fear. After that, he was about to leave with the law enforcement team members in a panic, but at this moment, Huang Xiaolong’s voice rang out, "Wait!"

Huang Xiaolong’s voice was sudden, and everyone looked over.

Huang Xiaolong coldly looked at Zhong Yuan, who was about to leave in a panic, and said to Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, "Expel him, or expel me!"

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Huang Xiaolong to make such a demand.

Huang Xiaolong had long been annoyed by Zhong Yuan.

Of course, Huang Xiaolong knew that if Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were in their right minds, they wouldn’t expel him. With his talent, any kingdom’s academy would vie for him.

Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu exchanged glances.

However, the two of them didn’t speak immediately because Zhong Yuan’s identity was not just a teacher and a captain of the law enforcement team. His sister was a queen, though not favored, but with this identity, Zhong Yuan was also the king Lu Zhe’s brother-in-law.

"Expel me?" Zhong Yuan stopped, looking at Huang Xiaolong as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Huang Xiaolong ignored him and continued to Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, "If I win the year-end competition, expel him."

Huang Xiaolong also knew that no matter how good his talent was, it was impossible for Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu to casually agree to expel a third-year teacher. After returning from the opening day, Huang Xiaolong had also asked Marshal Haotian to investigate Zhong Yuan’s background.

"Win the year-end competition?!" Sun Zhang, Xiong Chu, and the surrounding crowd were all shocked, their eyes wide. With Huang Xiaolong’s current peak late-stage fourth-rank strength, he would definitely be first in the class competition, but there were only five months until the end of the year. Some of the other freshmen in the first year were already late-stage sixth-rank, even peak late-stage sixth-rank. How could Huang Xiaolong possibly win first place? With Huang Xiaolong’s talent, it might be possible in two years.

Zhong Yuan laughed even louder, looking at Huang Xiaolong with a mocking face, "Kid, you said you’ll win the year-end competition?"

Huang Xiaolong didn’t speak, looking at Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu.

"Alright!" After a while, Sun Zhang nodded, "If you win the year-end competition, in addition to the usual rewards from the academy, I will teach you a set of Earth-grade combat techniques!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard Principal Sun Zhang not only agreed but also offered an Earth-grade combat technique as a reward.

In fact, Sun Zhang agreed because he didn’t think Huang Xiaolong could win the year-end competition. This way, he could ease Huang Xiaolong’s resentment and also motivate him to work hard.

"Alright!" Huang Xiaolong said.

Zhong Yuan, hearing the principal’s agreement, was somewhat angry in his heart but didn’t dare to show it. Moreover, he thought it was impossible for Huang Xiaolong to win the year-end competition.

Not just him, but probably everyone would think so.

At this moment, Huang Xiaolong looked at Xiong Meiqi. With the strength he had just displayed, he would undoubtedly win first place in the freshmen test. It was time for this bear to fulfill the bet’s promise!

The freshmen who knew about the bet between Huang Xiaolong and Xiong Meiqi, seeing Huang Xiaolong’s gaze, also looked at Xiong Meiqi with strange expressions.
