Chapter 16: Beating Tang San, Tang Hao Protecting His Son?
Beast martial souls and weapon martial souls have the greatest difference in the early stages, which is martial soul possession—attaching the beast's power to oneself in order to enhance physical strength.
At the same time, it can also increase the body's immunity, and the more top-tier the beast martial soul, the stronger the immunity.
Additionally, with Ye Wen's first soul skill having a 30% damage reduction effect, Tang San's still-unawakened Blue Silver Grass could never paralyze him.
Ye Wen didn't give Tang San a chance to rise. With one foot, he kicked Tang San hard and pressed him to the ground, beating him mercilessly.
Boom boom boom!
Slap!
Each punch hit Tang San heavily, on his face, on his body, and even his brothers weren't spared.
Tang San curled his body, screaming in pain.
"Ahhh!"
Ye Wen stomped on Tang San's fingers, making sure he couldn't use hidden weapons to harm anyone.
Having lived two lives, Tang San had never been beaten like this before. His pride was deeply wounded, and he already harbored a desire for revenge against Ye Wen, but now he was powerless.
Not long after, Tang San was beaten into a bruised mess, lying motionless on the ground.
Ye Wen stopped the beating, placing a foot on Tang San's face, looking down coldly at the man beneath him: "Tang San, this ends today, but I will come back for you."
He withdrew his foot from Tang San's face and turned to leave.
"You! Die!" Tang San seethed with murderous intent, glaring at Ye Wen's back. He endured the intense pain in his fingers and summoned two silver needles, instantly throwing them.
The third rule of the Xuantian Treasure Tome: If you confirm your opponent is an enemy, and they seek death, don't show mercy. Otherwise, it will only bring more trouble to yourself.
Tang San already harbored murderous intent!
Halt!
Ding ding!
However, the silver needles struck Ye Wen's magic whale armor and instantly bent, falling to the ground.
"How... How could it... not break through his defense?" Tang San was stunned, his face filled with shame.
Ye Wen's first soul skill not only had amplification effects but also created the magic whale armor with terrifying defense, especially against penetrating attacks.
Ye Wen slowly turned, his gaze turning murderous as he looked at Tang San.
That look made Tang San feel fear for the first time!
For the first time in this world, he felt afraid of someone, as if he could be killed by this person.
Ye Wen retracted his gaze, glancing at the silver needles on the ground: "Hidden weapons? Don't throw such childish things at me again."
"Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, let's go."
At that moment, Xiao Wu rushed into the classroom, seeing Tang San battered and beaten, and immediately ran to his side: "Third brother!!"
"Third brother, how could you be beaten like this!"
"Did they do this to you?"
"Xiao Wu."
"Dammit! Ye Wen, I won't let you get away with this!" Xiao Wu glared at Ye Wen with killing intent.
"Oh?"
Feeling Xiao Wu's killing intent, Ye Wen turned back and locked eyes with her. At that moment, Ye Wen made a decision: "Little rabbit, you should stay with your third brother for now. When I appear before you again, the time you two have together will be over."
He decided then and there to subdue Xiao Wu. When Xiao Wu and Tang San had formed a deep bond, he would take her as his servant.
He would make her his subordinate, making Tang San experience the pain of losing his beloved woman.
At this moment, the principal rushed in, furious: "You! You beat your teacher and fellow students on the first day of school, you're expelled!"
"You're wrong, principal. It's not us who are being expelled, but we're withdrawing ourselves."
Ye Wen swiftly walked up to the principal, grabbed the money hidden in his sleeve, and walked out of the classroom with a swagger.
Was he joking? Did they really think they came here to study?
Their student status was just a convenient cover for actions within the academy; he had no intention of staying here. Now that his goal was accomplished, Ye Wen decided it was time to leave Notting Academy.
His main goal now, first, was to suppress Tang San, to seize whatever opportunities he could before Tang San had the chance to grow.
Second, it was to subdue the 100,000-year soul beasts.
Ye Wen had no mission or responsibility like Silver Dragon King Gu Yue Na to revive soul beasts. His goal in subduing them was to build his own influence. This way, whether it was dealing with Tang San in the future or acting on the continent, it would be much more advantageous for him.
Notting City wasn't too far from the Star Dou Forest, so he planned to go there first and subdue Da Ming and Er Ming.
The three of them left Notting Academy, becoming the fastest students in the academy to enter and leave.
But as soon as they stepped outside the academy gate, Ye Wen's eyelids suddenly twitched inexplicably. With the twitching of his eyelids, an ominous feeling stirred in his heart.
This feeling of foreboding grew stronger, as though it was warning him of what was to come.
Ye Wen suddenly stopped, scanning his surroundings.
Xiao Bai asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Boss?"
Ye Wen shook his head. "I don't know, but something doesn't feel right."
Xie Hu also asked, "What doesn't feel right?"
Ye Wen didn't respond immediately. His mind started to think deeply, and soon, he suddenly remembered a name: Tang Hao.
"That can't be right, can it? Even though I beat Tang San, I'm still just a six-year-old child. Tang Hao is a Title Douluo, a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s. Would he really strike a six-year-old child?"
Ye Wen knew that Tang Hao had been secretly protecting his son, Tang San.
When Tang San was injured by Zhao Wujie at Shrek Academy, Tang Hao came out and beat Zhao Wujie in defense of his son.
But Zhao Wujie was a senior, and it made sense for Tang Hao to protect his son in that situation.
However, Ye Wen was of the same generation, and even two years younger than Tang San. Would Tang Hao really make a move against him? Wasn't that beneath his dignity? Was he shameless?
It felt like in the real world, an adult striking a child only a few years old would be condemned by society.
But if Tang Hao was shameless enough, he might have no qualms about it.
"Wait a minute." Ye Wen suddenly thought of another possibility. "Or maybe Tang Hao has noticed my soul beast identity?"
Ye Wen thought deeply, but no matter what, he had to be prepared.
"Xie Hu, Xiao Bai, come here."
Ye Wen motioned for them to come closer and then told them his plan.
"We understand," Xie Hu and Xiao Bai nodded, and the three of them quickly started walking toward a restaurant.
Ye Wen immediately rushed into the restaurant bathroom, transformed into his half-human form, and threw on a long robe that covered his whole body. Then, he took Xie Hu and Xiao Bai's hands and walked out.
If it was truly Tang Hao, he had to change his form beforehand. If he transformed in front of Tang Hao, his soul beast identity would be exposed.
