SoulLand:Ascending to Godhood through Science

Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Nordin Children Bully the Helpless Yu Xiaogang



After spending an entire night, Yu Xiaogang finally identified the most suitable soul beast for his disciple Tang San's first soul ring—the Mandala Snake!

The satisfaction and happiness brought by a sense of achievement and mission rejuvenated Yu Xiaogang, who, with a radiant smile, hurried to the student dormitory.

Not finding his beloved Xiao San in the seventh dormitory, he heard the commotion and rushed over.

Coincidentally, his life's focus, his beloved disciple Tang San, was indeed here!

"Hmm?"

Yu Xiaogang, disheveled, noticed the awkward expression on Tang San's face and turned to see Xiao Wu's look of disdain, his expression turning cloudy: "It's you, that rude little girl!"

Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, meeting Yu Xiaogang's gaze fiercely, "Rude? You're the rude one! I've asked around, you're not even a teacher at our academy! How dare you strut into the student dormitory like this! My brave comrades, can you tolerate such a scoundrel shouting in our territory!?"

By now, due to the commotion with Tang San, all the students in the sixth dormitory, willingly or unwillingly, had gotten out of bed.

Under Xiao Wu's battle cry, they were filled with fervor.

They shouted, "Absolutely not!"

Yu Xiaogang watched, bewildered, as the kids, eyes locked on him, got up from their beds.

Xiao Wu's chief lackey, Mu Feng, wouldn't miss the chance to earn favor with Sister Xiao Wu.

While the other lackeys were merely glaring, Mu Feng, ever the brute, was already charging from Yu Xiaogang's blind spot, making weird sounds.

"You!?"

Unlike the stunned Yu Xiaogang, Tang San remained calm, immediately spotting Mu Feng's attempt on his teacher, a cold glint in his eyes.

With a powerful leap, Tang San intercepted with astonishing speed.

"Move!" Mu Feng, seeing the thin, small Tang San, assumed he was just a regular farm kid. He barely paid attention to Tang San, focused solely on Yu Xiaogang, and reached to push him aside.

Facing the much larger Mu Feng, Tang San didn't dodge. Instead, he engaged directly.

Using his Crane Capturing and Dragon Manipulating techniques, he deftly redirected Mu Feng's momentum, then abruptly released.

"Huh?"

Mu Feng, puzzled, suddenly found the world flipping.

When he came to, he was slammed onto the ground with a painful thud.

However, while Tang San dealt with Mu Feng, the second wave of lackeys reached Yu Xiaogang.

Despite being an adult, Yu Xiaogang was caught off guard by the sudden attack and hesitated.

Even though he was a spirit master, with a physique that could easily subdue them, Yu Xiaogang had no combat experience.

His theoretical knowledge was extensive, but practical application was nearly nonexistent. After being expelled from Spirit Hall, even during his time with Flender and Liu Erlong as the Golden Iron Triangle, he stayed behind them.

Concerned about accidentally injuring the children, he hesitated.

Of course, it wasn't out of any noble respect for the young; he worried injuring students might get him expelled from the academy, given his freeloading status already irritated many teachers.

While he hesitated, three spirit warriors without rings or martial spirits attacked him with punches and kicks.

Their strength, bolstered by martial spirits, equaled weak adults.

Though they couldn't seriously harm Yu Xiaogang, they did cause him considerable pain.

"Teacher!"

Seeing his teacher being beaten, Tang San's heart ached as if he were the one being hit, eyes wide with rage, his mind roaring: 'You disrespectful brats, you're all courting death!!!'

"Dahei!"

As he was about to intervene, Xiao Wu, seeing Mu Feng downed, charged out furiously.

She glared at Tang San, "You hit him!?"

Seeing Xiao Wu's anger over Mu Feng being struck, Tang San felt inexplicably jealous, momentarily forgetting his teacher, he retorted, "He tried to attack my teacher, what's wrong with stopping him?"

"I don't care! You hit Dahei, so you're wrong!"

Reasoning with Xiao Wu, wild and untamed, was futile.

Before her words ended, Xiao Wu lunged at Tang San, her right leg bending and kicking towards his chin.

Such speed!

Even Tang San, though surprised by Xiao Wu's agility, quickly reacted thanks to his training in Purple Demon Eyes, sidestepping her attack.

He hesitated, unsure how to handle Xiao Wu.

Perhaps her initial intent to help him left a lasting impression, or perhaps he was simply biased, viewing Mu Feng's assault as a grave sin while Xiao Wu's insults as mere misunderstandings.

In any case... Tang San couldn't bring himself to treat Xiao Wu as he did Mu Feng.

His steps elegantly traced an arc on the ground, pivoting like a compass, then kicked at Xiao Wu's knee, while his hands reached for her shoulders, intending to subdue her.

Tang San's moves were sharp and precise, impressing any seasoned fighter.

But Xiao Wu, as if sensing him, suddenly tilted forward, flipping over, hands on the ground for a spinning kick.

Tang San's expression shifted, his missed kick landing firmly, he swiftly retracted his hands to block.

Boom!

The force sent them both skidding apart.

Xiao Wu nimbly regained her stance, eyeing Tang San with curiosity and a competitive spark.

After a brief standoff, Xiao Wu's expression softened, exclaiming, "Not bad! You're the first to keep up with me in a fight. I'm Xiao Wu, what's your name?"

Despite their current opposition, Xiao Wu's recognition brought Tang San a strange joy, his face reddening as he replied, "I'm Tang San."

Just then, a ghostly raspy voice came from behind him.

"Xiao San..."

Like a spirit calling for vengeance.

Tang San shivered, turning to see his teacher's bruised, unrecognizable face.

"Help..."

Kids clung to him, exhausted from their attacks, as Yu Xiaogang struggled like in a quagmire, reaching out to Tang San.

If Yu Xiaogang had any strength left, buried under the pile of children, he would've surely cried out, "Xiao San, why are you just watching!? Have you really betrayed me!?"
