Translator: KurazyTolanzuraytor Editor: Lucas
At dawn the next day, Duan Ling Tian walked out of his own house and headed towards the Paladin Academy.
"Two days of holidays passed so quickly...." Duan Ling Tians eyes slightly narrowed as he slowly walked into Paladin Academy.
Meanwhile, he could still notice many gazes that were staring at him, and as he was accustomed to it now, he directly ignored them.
When Duan Ling Tian just entered the classroom, he noticed the gazes of the group of students within the classroom gather on him....
"Duan Ling Tian, congratulations!" Xiao Xun looked at Duan Ling Tian as he congratulated him with a smile.
"Whats are you congratulating me for?" Duan Ling Tian was dazed and was unable to react to it.
"What else? Its naturally congratulating you on returning to the Duan Clan and once again becoming a member of the Duan Clans direct descendants," Xiao Yu added.
He was happy for Duan Ling Tian as well. After all, even his heart trembled when he thought of the circumstances Duan Ling Tian faced before this.
The Fifth Prince and the Su Clan werent easy to deal with!
And now, Duan Ling Tian had returned to the Duan Clan, and with Duan Ling Tians monstrous natural talent in the Martial Dao, he would surely receive double the regard from the Duan Clan... As far as he was concerned, even the Fifth Prince and the Su Clan wouldnt dare act rashly now.
"So its about this." Duan Ling Tian shook his head with a smile, as he didnt feel that it could be considered to be a happy thing.
However, hed more or less perceived Xiao Yu and Xiao Xuns thoughts, and a trace of warmth couldnt be avoided from arising within his heart....These are the friends of I, Duan Ling Tian!
An entire morning worth of time passed quickly.
At noon, after class ended, Duan Ling Tians group of three headed to the cafeteria as usual.
Duan Ling Tians group of three stopped their steps when theyd just arrived at the cafeteria, and it wasnt for any other reason than a person standing in their path.
This was a female student with an ordinary appearance and a rounded figure.
But at this moment, what caused Duan Ling Tians group of three to be stunned was the resentment that appeared on this female students face... it was as if someone had hurt her.
"Fellow student, this is?" Xiao Xun had a bewildered expression. He glanced at Duan Ling Tian and Xiao Yu with a strange gaze as he thought in his heart, "It cant be some romantic debt that one of these two fellows secretly owe, right? No, their views shouldnt be unique to this extent...."
Duan Ling Tian and Xiao Yus expressions were similar to Xiao Yus; even their thoughts were identical in nature.
"Duan Ling Tian!" Suddenly, the female student spoke with a tone that had a sense of grief and resentment mixed within.
Duan Ling Tian was stunned.
Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu swept Duan Ling Tian with a dubious gaze and expressions that said You really have such strong tastes.
"I dont know her." Duan Ling Tian glared at the two of them, as he naturally perceived what these two dirty fellows were thinking.
"Indeed, you dont know me." The female student took a deep breath and then said, with a face full of grief and resentment, "Then you should at least know Tang Guo, right?"
Tang Guo?
Duan Ling Tian frowned. He felt that this name seemed familiar, but for a moment he couldnt recall it.
"Keke..." The female student had a mocking expression. "Its only been two days and youve forgotten her? To think that she fought against the pressure and persisted in completing the task that you entrusted to her. I really feel like youre not worthy of Tang Guo. She actually lost her life just to help you!"
When the female student was halfway through her speech, Duan Ling Tian had already recalled it.
Tang Guo was precisely that female student with a refined face from before. At that time, Tang Guo was bullied by Tong Li, so he helped Tang Guo. After that, he even gave Tong Li a show of force by making that female student beside Tong Li kneel on the ground and shout Tong Li is a bi**ch....
Later on, he felt bored and left first, and before leaving, he asked Tang Guo to help keep watch on that female student to finish shouting a 100 times.
Now, when he finished listening to this female students words that were full of grief and resentment, Duan Ling Tians face went gloomy. "What did you say? Tang Guo is dead?" Duan Ling Tians eyes were filled with bloodlust, and a terrifying killing intent extended out from his body.
The female student was frightened to the point that her face went ghastly pale. She gritted her teeth and nodded. "Yes."
"What actually happened?" Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath. He had an extremely gloomy expression on his face as he suppressed the rage within his heart.
"It went like this... Yesterday was a holiday, so Tang Guo and I went out to take a spin around the city, but halfway through our trip, Tong Li brought some people to capture us and brought us to a remote alley... Tang Guos hands were chopped off by Tong Li first, before her legs were chopped off... After that, Tong Li used water to splash Tang Guo awake after she fainted, then she tortured Tang Guo for half an hour before ending her life!" The female student had a deathly pale face, and her eyes were filled with terror.
Yesterday, she was really scared stiff and couldnt sleep the entire night. Even after returning to Paladin Academy, she was scared out of her wits....
Duan Ling Tians face was gloomy, as hed never imagined that one decision of his could actually destroy Tang Guos life.
A trace of regret arose within his heart. He shouldnt have let Tang Guo help him; otherwise, Tong Li wouldnt have moved her rage onto Tang Guo.
"Tong Li...." Duan Ling Tians eyes were crimson red, and the killing intent on his body swept out without restraint.
Instantly, with Duan Ling Tian at the centre, Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun couldn’t help but retreat. They looked at Duan Ling Tian with fearful gazes.
As for that female student, shed long since been terrified to the point of retreating far off into the distance.
"Duan Ling Tian!" Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu had faces full of worry.
Even though they didnt know who Tang Guo was, they could guess that there probably was some sort of relationship between Duan Ling Tian and Tang Guo, and now that Tang Guo had been killed by Tong Li....
Duan Ling Tians eyes revealed a crimson hue. He seemed to have transformed into a bloodthirsty asura!
Meanwhile, many students had surrounded him.
"Isnt that Duan Ling Tian?"
"He seems enraged."
"Isnt that female student a friend of Tang Guos? Looks like Duan Ling Tian is furious about the incident regarding Tang Guo."
"Whos Tang Guo?"
...
The group of students that surrounded the scene started discussing amongst themselves, and among them was no lack of people who knew the cause of the entire matter.
"So in other words, Tang Guo left yesterday and hasnt returned since?"
"90% chances she been killed by Tong Li for revenge!"
Some of the students secretly guessed, and strands of coldness arose within their hearts.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun finally understood the details of the entire matter from the discussion of these spectators...So thats what happened.
They finally understood why Duan Ling Tian would be so angry.
"Who knows where Tong Li is now?" Duan Ling Tians crimson red eyes swept past the group of students, and his cold and indifferent voice had a breathtaking coldness mixed within.
In this instant, all the students present felt a wave of chilliness on their backs, and their hearts went cold.
"Duan Ling Tian, what happened?" Right at this moment, Tian Hu had arrived as well, and he couldnt help but be stunned when he saw Duan Ling Tians current appearance.
In next to no time, Tian Hu found out about the matter from Xiao Xun, and he burst into rage. "That Tong Li is virtually a crazy bi**h.... No, shes absolutely worse than an animal! How that Tang Guo must have suffered before death!"
Meanwhile, the faces of the surrounding group of students went grim as well, as Xiao Xun didnt intentionally suppress his voice when he recounted the details the matter to Tian Hu, and thus everyone present heard what happened.
Tang Guo was actually alive as she was dismembered to death by that Tong Li?
Many of the surrounding female students had pale expression, and some female students who had just eaten and walked out of the cafeteria even started vomiting out what theyd just ate....
"If I see Tong Li, that crazy bi**h, I dont care if shes the cousin of the Fifth Prince! Ill give her a few slaps and then we can talk!" Tian Hus expression was extremely unsightly, and was filled with righteous indignation.
Even though Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun didnt speak, their eyes revealed a trace of coldness... That Tong Li was really too atrocious!
"Who said he wants to slap me?" Right at this moment, a cold and indifferent voice of a girl echoed out from behind the surrounding crowd.
The crowd opened up a path, and Tong Li, who wore red clothes, could be vaguely seen walking over shoulder to shoulder with a young man around the age of 25.
The young man was wearing green clothes, had an ordinary appearance, and had a sheathed machete hanging on his waist. An aura of slaughter was vaguely emitted from his body, as he obviously was someone who had received special training.
"Isnt that Xue Lang?" Many of the students couldnt help but exclaim in a low voice when they saw the young man.
"Xue Lang?" Tian Hus face went grim, as hed never imagined that Tong Li would be together with Xue Lang.
Xue Lang, a grade 6 student of Paladin Academy, and a martial artist at the second level of the Origin Core Stage.
In terms of natural talent, this Xue Lang was only a tiny bit inferior to Su Tong, who had his Dantian crippled by Duan Ling Tian.
As he thought of Su Tong, Tian Hus heart calmed, as Duan Ling Tian wasnt afraid of Su Tong and directly crippled him, so would he be afraid of this Xue Lang?
"Tong Li!" Duan Ling Tians crimson eyes descended onto Tong Li, and a terrifying killing intent swept out from his body to envelop Tong Li.
Tong Li, who held her head high a moment ago, now had an expression that instantly went deathly pale, and her body even started trembling.
"Humph!" Xue Long, who was currently standing beside Tong Li, snorted coldly and stood before Tong Li to help her block out the boundless killing intent.
Xue Langs pupils couldnt help but constrict when he replaced Tong Li and was enveloped by the killing intent! What a terrifying killing intent!
"Youre Duan Ling Tian?" Xue Langs gaze descended onto Duan Ling Tian, and a trace of coldness appeared on the corners of his mouth.
"F**k off!" Duan Ling Tians eyes emitted a cold light when he saw Xue Lang stand out, and he shouted coldly.
"You asked me to f**k off?" Xue Lang seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world when he heard what Duan Ling Tian said. "Duan Ling Tian, I know your natural talent in the Martial Dao is great, and now youve even returned to the Duan Clan, even receiving high regard from the Duan Clan... But even then, theres some people you cant afford to offend within the Imperial City!" As he finished speaking, Xue Langs face was filled with arrogance and complacence.
"Is that so?" Duan Ling Tians eyes focused as his icy-cold gaze descended onto Xue Langs body. "I dont know about other people... But I, Duan Ling Tian, dont acknowledge you!"
Being provoked by Duan Ling Tian in public caused Xue Langs face to go grim.
"Duan Ling Tian!" Meanwhile, Tong Li spoke, and her voice contained a trace of icy coldness. "Big brother Xue Lang is the Imperial Citys Guard Army Commander, Lord Xue Lus, only son. Not to mention you, even your Duan Clans Patriarch would need to be respectful when they meet big brother Xue Langs father!"
"Is that so?" Duan Ling Tian abruptly started laughing. "Miss Tong, no wonder you recovered your usual arrogance today, so it turned out that youve found a backer...."
