In the early morning, Tianlin woke up from his meditation, exhaling a breath of stale air. This was the more impure part of his spirit power. With the help of the Nüwa Emperor Meditation Method, he could refine it while cultivating, ensuring that the spirit power he cultivated was the purest.
"Hah, that's refreshing. Those bastards from yesterday were annoying, but they weren't entirely useless," Tianlin thought, feeling the significant increase in his spirit power, which improved his mood considerably.
Yesterday's intense battle with so many people had almost depleted his spirit power. After a night of meditation, he had not only recovered but also broken through to level nineteen. He only needed one more level to hunt his second Spirit Ring.
Even more pleasing was that he had finally grasped the basics of the Seven Kill Swordplay. He realized that to comprehend the sword intent of the Seven Kill Swordplay, he didn't necessarily have to kill someone; merely having the intent to kill was enough.
Yesterday, when Tianlin resolved to kill those people, a vast killing intent naturally gathered around him. When he used the Killing Intent Spreads technique, it was a hundred times smoother and more powerful than when he practiced it on his own.
Knock, knock, knock! Just as Tianlin was about to leave, there was a rapid knock on the door. Tianlin opened it to find his homeroom teacher, Zhou Yan.
"Teacher Zhou, why are you here so early? It's not time for class yet. Don't worry, I won't be late."
"What class are you talking about? Do you know you've caused a disaster?" Zhou Yan said anxiously. "Last night, did you cut off Chu Jie's and O'ldo's ears? They notified their families overnight, and now both families have come to the Dean's Office to make trouble."
"So that's what this is about. What's there to be afraid of? They were the ones who provoked me yesterday. Besides, they wouldn't dare to run wild in Heaven Dou Royal Academy, would they?" Tianlin was completely unafraid.
"You, do you know who's here? Chu Jie is fine; his father is just the city lord of a small town, with spirit power only at the Soul King level. But the O' Family is different. His grandfather, O'lf, is one of the top experts in the Barak Kingdom, the head of the O' Family, with spirit power as high as level eighty-one, a Soul Douluo. It's said that he dotes on his grandson very much, and he happens to be in Heaven Dou City these days to visit him. He definitely won't let this go easily." Zhou Yan didn't know Tianlin's background. It was clear that she was genuinely worried about him. As a teacher, she didn't want such a promising talent to be ruined like this.
What worried her even more was that among the three members of the Education Committee today, only Bai Baoshan was present. The other two had gone to the palace to meet with His Majesty. Bai Baoshan was a well-known pushover, and she was worried that he wouldn't be able to hold back O'lf.
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhou. Since they want to deal with me, I'll go meet them!"
Seeing that Tianlin was completely unmoved, Zhou Yan had no choice but to say, "Forget it, what's done is done. Tell me exactly what happened last night, without leaving anything out. We can't miss any information that might be in your favor."
"Okay, last night..."
As they walked, Tianlin recounted the events of the previous night. Zhou Yan's eyes lit up as she listened. From any perspective, the other party was at fault. As for Tianlin, it could only be considered excessive self-defense. If that was the case, as long as she tried her best to mediate, Tianlin might only receive a major demerit at most.
The two quickly arrived at the Dean's Office. Before they even entered, they heard an old voice roaring angrily.
"Bai Baoshan, I entrusted my grandson to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for care, and this is how you take care of him? He's lost his ears!"
"Mr. O', please calm down. Let's wait for Tianlin to arrive, and then we can carefully review what happened," Bai Baoshan's honest voice sounded, seemingly trying to persuade him.
Although the three members of the Education Committee were all very strong, they all had one flaw: they were all pushovers. In Tianlin's opinion, any of the three was stronger than that old man surnamed O', so why were they being so tolerant of him?
"Hmph, wait until that little beast arrives..."
Just as O'lf was about to curse, Tianlin directly pushed open the door. "Hey, old man, I'm here. What do you want?"
At that moment, there were four people in the Dean's Office: Bai Baoshan, O'lf, the victim O'ldo, and Tianlin's other teacher, Ye Ping.
They all looked over when they heard Tianlin's arrogant words.
Zhou Yan was startled and quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. O', the child is ignorant and has been rude to you. Please forgive him."
O'lf was, after all, a Soul Douluo, someone Tianlin definitely couldn't afford to offend. This was not the time to confront him head-on.
"Teacher Zhou, there's no need to apologize to him, because I know that even if I kneel down and apologize, he won't let me go. Am I right, old man?" Tianlin glanced at O'lf, disdainfully.
Hearing this, the originally furious O'lf calmed down instead. As expected of the head of a major family, he was able to control his temper. "Hehe, boy, you're right. I didn't plan to let you go today. Tell me, how do you want to die?"
As he spoke, O'lf slowly gathered his spirit power, and a Sunflower appeared in his hand. At the same time, two yellow, two purple, and four black eight Spirit Rings lit up.
He actually planned to attack directly. He had already learned from his grandson that Tianlin was born a commoner. Although he didn't know why he was admitted to this Heaven Dou Royal Academy, which only accepted nobles, he was a duke and a Soul Douluo. Even if he killed this commoner, would the royal family really turn against him for the sake of a dead person?
Behind him, O'ldo was looking at Tianlin triumphantly, his meaning clear: Dare to provoke me? This is the consequence. I only planned to cripple you, but since you don't know what's good for you, then pay with your life! "Stop!" Zhou Yan stood in front of Tianlin, one white, one yellow, and two purple four Spirit Rings appearing. At the same time, a pair of dazzling wings extended from her back. This was her Spirit, Butterfly.
"A mere Soul Ancestor dares to stand in my way?" O'lf sneered, then erupted with spirit power. To deal with a Soul Ancestor, he didn't even need to use spirit skills; spirit power alone was enough to overwhelm the opponent.
"Teacher Zhou Yan, don't be impulsive! This is all that little beast's fault. It's not worth getting hurt for him!" Ye Ping, who had been watching the show, suddenly became anxious. It was clear that he liked Zhou Yan.
"Teacher Ye Ping, Tianlin is not a little beast. He is my student. There are still many things from last night that haven't been clarified. How can you blame my student entirely based on Mr. O'lf's one-sided story?" Zhou Yan suddenly became firm. She might not be strong, but at this moment, she would not back down.
"Mr. O'lf is a Soul Douluo. Would he wrong a child? You should stay out of this and come to my side." Ye Ping's meaning was also very clear: on one side was a Soul Douluo, and on the other was a commoner with only a dozen levels of spirit power. Does right or wrong matter? Choosing a side is the key.
