Chapter 153: Academy Number One
Below the stage, Third Year Class Three teacher Chen Xiaojing nearly dislocated his jaw as he stared dumbfoundedly at the three people−Xie Wei, Jiang Chengyu, and Chen Fengli−who were defeated by Huang Xiaolong.
The legs of the pale-faced youth and one of the inner courtyard disciples gave out from the sight of what had just happened to the extent that they nearly knelt on the ground.
Those students who ridiculed Huang Xiaolong for winning first place during previous years because his opponents were being lenient were shivering in their pants as if they contracted epilepsy, twitching unnaturally.
Silence permeated throughout every nook and cranny of the Holy Hall.
Watching Huang Xiaolong’s silhouette on the stage, the young girls’ hearts were jumping around like a naughty fawn, issuing sounds of ‘putong putong’ like a wardrum in their ears.
If the sparkling lights from these girls’ eyes were gathered together and launched, it would probably have the power to electrocute a boar to death.
After what seemed like a long time had passed, the Holy Hall broke out in an unprecedented thunderous applause and cheers.
By this point in time, Xie Wei, Jiang Hengyu, and Chen Fengli managed to get themselves up from the ground. The way the three of them looked at Huang Xiaolong was now full of fear.
The Huang Xiaolong that they never put in their eyes, a little rascal that in their opinion could not even win the class’s first place was actually this monstrous!
Their faces were extremely ugly as the loud cheers and praises echoed in their ears.
“Xie Wei, Jiang Hengyu, Chen Fengli; the three of you actually ignored the Academy’s established rules! As Elders, not only did you interfere with the competition between students, you even attacked Huang Xiaolong, a student of the Academy!” Sun Zhang was truly angered this time and reprimanded the trio.
Xie Wei looked at Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu, sneered and said, “So what? Sun Zhang, even if you want to expel us you must call for an Elders meeting first!”
As an Elder of the inner courtyard, regardless of their crime, they could only be punished after a decision was reached in the Elders’ meeting. Not even Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu were able to supersede the authority of the Elders and arbitrarily decide their punishments.
After having this pointed out, Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu’s faces turned sullen.
A proud complacent smile emerged on Xie Wei, Jiang Hengyu and Chen Fengli’s faces.
However, at that moment, Huang Xiaolong slowly walked towards them.
The proud beam on their faces stiffened and paled.
“Huang Xiaolong, what are you doing?” Xie Wei snapped at Huang Xiaolong while trying his best to conceal the fear he was feeling inside.
Jiang Hengyu also barked, “You actually disrespected an inner courtyard Elder. You even attacked and injured us! Just you wait, you’ll absolutely be expelled!”
The fact of the matter was that the three of them had interjected in the Academy students’ competition. They ambushed Huang Xiaolong in a three on one battle, and now they shamelessly argued that Huang Xiaolong had no respect for elders, injured them, and actually wanted to expel Huang Xiaolong from the Academy!
Huang Xiaolong’s placid tone matched his expression, “Really? But, the three of you don’t seem to have enough authority to expel me!”
To expel a student, whether they be students of the normal classes or the inner courtyard, it fell under Sun Zhang and Xiong Chu’s responsibility and authority.
Xie Wei and the other two’s minds went blank.
Just now, they indeed forgot about this matter.
Huang Xiaolong continued to approach the three of them.
Seeing this, Xie Wei, Jiang Hengyu, and Chen Fengli actually retreated in a flustered manner.
“Huang Xiaolong, you dare to ignore the rules?!” Xie Wei once again put up a brave front, trying to deter Huang Xiaolong, but it was all for naught. Before Xie Wei could finish, the ebony Wing of Demon on Huang Xiaolong’s back flapped. In less time than it took to blink, Huang Xiaolong had reached Xie Wei, and a fist struck the right side of his face. Xie Wei’s head nearly swung back from the impact, causing his entire body to fly out.
Next, Huang Xiaolong walked towards Jiang Hengyu and Chen Fengli as fear distorted their faces.
“Huang Xiaolong, use your words! If you have something to say, we can discuss it peacefully, don’t act recklessly!” The two blurted out.
Discuss peacefully? Don’t act recklessly? Huang Xiaolong sneered coldly. Palms slammed out, striking the two in the chest and sending them flying out at the same time.
The boiled up atmosphere in the Holy Hall instantly became quiet.
People from all directions were looking towards one spot.
Huang Xiaolong looked at the three people groaning on the floor, he slowly walked towards them again.
