None of them expected this.
That Su Tong wanted to cripple Duan Lingtian, but was instead crippled by Duan Lingtian …
How ironic was this!
However, now that they saw Duan Lingtian was safe and sound, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian frowned as he looked outside the bamboo forest.
Presently, three incomparably swift figures were flying over from afar, and in the blink of an eye, they were near him.
These were three middle-aged men, and he only recognized one of them.
Niu Mang!
A first year teacher of the Faculty of General.
He was also the teacher of Su Li and Tian Hu's class.
As for the other two middle-aged men, one of them was a robust man with a stocky build, and the other was a middle-aged scholar with a graceful bearing.
Just from their appearances, Duan Lingtian was able to guess which faculty they were from.
"Su Tong!"
The robust man recognized Su Tong, who had fallen on the ground, and his expression slightly changed.
Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped forward and helped Su Tong stop the blood that was ceaselessly flowing from his body. At the same time, he gave Su Tong a Gold Injury Pill.
"What's going on?"
The robust man's thick eyebrows frowned, and his pair of tiger-like eyes that emitted a dignified aura focused on Duan Lingtian.
Duan Lingtian wasn't afraid in the slightest. He glanced at the robust man and shrugged. "Actually, it's nothing much. He wanted to cripple my cultivation, but in the end, he didn't succeed and ended up like this …"
Hearing this, the robust man inspected for a while, and only then did he realize that Su Tong's Dantian had actually been crippled …
Instantly, his pupils couldn't help but constrict as he looked at the violet-clothed youth before him with a face full of astonishment. The casualness on the youth's face caused him to be shocked. "Kid, do you know that you've gotten into trouble?"
"Teacher, according to what I know, Paladin Academy only explicitly states that students are not allowed to kill each other … Someone wanted to cripple my Dantian, so I couldn't just resign myself to death and do nothing, right?"
Duan Lingtian spread out his hands and smiled indifferently with a carefree expression.
He didn't feel that he was in the wrong for what happened today. If it wasn't for Su Tong being overbearing and even viciously wanting to cripple his cultivation, he wouldn't have been so ruthless.
In his opinion, Su Tong only had himself to blame!
When the brawny man saw Duan Lingtian's innocent and harmless expression, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Are you Duan Lingtian?"
At this moment, the gaze of the middle-aged scholar who came with the brawny man fell on Duan Lingtian.
"Teacher."
Duan Lingtian greeted the middle-aged scholar.
The burly man's gaze was slightly surprised. "So you're Duan Lingtian … If what you said is true, then the academy won't blame you. However, the Su Clan's side was not so easy to discuss. This Su Tong has an extremely high position in the Su Clan. You must be mentally prepared. "
"Thank you for your reminder, Teacher."
Duan Lingtian lightly nodded and expressed his thanks.
The brawny man glanced deeply at Duan Lingtian, then looked at the two one-armed young men. "Both of you seem to be members of the Su Clan as well, right? Yes, both of you take Su Tong back … Also, take your severed arms as well. They should be barely able to be reattached. "
"Yes, Teacher."
The two one-armed young men had bitter expressions as they grabbed their severed arms and carried Su Tong before leaving dejectedly.
Meanwhile, Niu Mang, who'd found out about the sequence of events from Su Li and Tian Hu, walked over as well. "I've already found out about the sequence of events from my two students … The source of the matter was that Su Tong. Duan Lingtian was only defending himself, and it has nothing to do with Duan Lingtian."
The brawny man and the middle-aged scholar both nodded when they heard this. "Even so, this matter still needs to be reported to the Vice Dean."
"Indeed."
The brawny man and the middle-aged scholar glanced at Duan Lingtian before turning around and leaving.
The two of them came quickly and left quickly as well. It could be said that they came and went like the wind!
"Teacher, I'm slightly scared when you look at me like that."
Duan Lingtian noticed that Niu Mang was staring at him without blinking, causing him to feel a wave of disgust …
This Niu Mang wouldn't have that kind of hobby, right?
Niu Mang seemed to have realized that something was wrong. He laughed slyly and rubbed his palms together. "Duan Lingtian, your natural talent in the Martial Dao isn't bad. You've already cultivated to the ninth level of the Core Formation Stage at such a young age … If you become a General in the future, you'll surely be able to slaughter in all directions and raise the morale of your allies."
"Teacher, if you have something to say, just say it."
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, as he understood the meaning behind Niu Mang's words.
"Look, your straightforward character is the character of a General … Then I'll be frank. I want you to come to our Star General Department, how about it?"
Niu Mang's eyes shone as he looked at Duan Lingtian with a face full of anticipation.
As far as he was concerned, with Duan Lingtian's natural talent in the Martial Dao, he would surely be an expert when he matured in the future!
If such a figure could appear under his command, then his many years as a teacher in Paladin Academy wouldn't have been in vain.
"This …"
Duan Lingtian was slightly troubled, then he raised his head and seemed to have noticed something. His gaze was shocked, and the corners of his mouth held a trace of a smile. "Teacher Niu Mang, I think you should speak to Teacher Sima about this."
Niu Mang noticed that the atmosphere was off as well.
"Niu Mang, are you trying to poach my student?"
The middle-aged scholar who wore a silk headscarf and held a feather fan stood behind Niu Mang and slowly spoke as his wise eyes descended onto Niu Mang.
"Sima!"
Niu Mang turned around and laughed embarrassedly when he saw Sima Chang Feng. "Just joking … Just joking …"
"Duan Lingtian, follow me."
Sima Chang Feng grunted in a low voice and ignored Niu Mang. He called out to Duan Lingtian and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.
"You guys go eat first, I'll be right behind you."
Duan Lingtian greeted Xiao Yu's group of four before following Sima Chang Feng's footsteps.
"You two kids have really lost all the face of my Star General Department's first grade class 1 today … For the sake of punishing you two, you'll be responsible for the teacher's lunch today. No objections, right? "
Niu Mang's righteous voice sounded out from behind, causing the corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth to twitch.
Subsequently, Tian Hu's voice sounded out. "No objections, no objections."
In the depths of the bamboo forest, Sima Chang Feng stopped.
Duan Lingtian stopped as well.
"You were too impulsive in this matter."
Sima Chang Feng sighed.
Obviously, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
"Teacher, what do you mean by impulsive?"
Duan Lingtian didn't comment and asked instead.
"Don't take it lightly … Since Su Tong didn't die today, you were in the right, and Paladin Academy won't pursue the matter. But do you know that Su Tong is a direct descendant of the Su Clan that is heavily nurtured, and is one of the candidates for the next Patriarch of the Su Clan. "
"You crippled Su Tong, which is equivalent to slapping the Su Clan in the face. The Su Clan will absolutely not let this matter go! "
Sima Chang Feng shook his head. In his eyes, this student was like a newborn calf that wasn't afraid of a tiger, daring to do anything.
"Teacher, I understand what you mean. But, in life, there are some things to do and some things not to do … To me, that Su Tong repeatedly said that he would cripple my cultivation, and even put it into action, which has already touched my bottom line. Not killing him is already being merciful! "
Duan Lingtian's gaze focused, and his expression was incomparably calm. "As for that Su Clan, if they really want to pursue the matter, then I'll accompany them!"
In life, there are some things to do and some things not to do!
Sima Chang Feng carefully savored these few short words, and could feel the unruliness and unruliness within Duan Lingtian's words.
At this instant, he also felt Duan Lingtian's self-confidence, and looked deeply at Duan Lingtian. "I didn't expect that you would see this matter so thoroughly … I originally thought that you were only impulsive. Since it's like this, I won't say anything more. "
Subsequently, Duan Lingtian and Sima Chang Feng left the bamboo forest together, and the journey was peaceful.
The Su Clan!
Duan Lingtian's eyes focused, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.
After returning to the cafeteria, Duan Lingtian directly sat beside Xiao Yu and the others, and ate together.
During this time, Xiao Yu and the others naturally couldn't help but worry about Duan Lingtian …
After all, to them, the Su Clan was a colossus that was difficult to contend with.
Towards this, Duan Lingtian only smiled with a calm expression, as if he was an outsider, and all of this had nothing to do with him.
The Su Clan was one of the three great clans of the Imperial City, and was equally famous as the Duan Clan and the Xiao Clan.
Presently, within the audience hall of the Su Clan Estate, all the Su Clan higher-ups were gathered together.
A middle-aged man in a black robe with golden edges sat at the head seat, his back straight like a javelin, and between his brows, he emitted a dignified aura …
It was precisely the Su Clan's current Patriarch, Su Bo Ya.
Su Bo Ya was almost 60 years old now, and in a few more years, he could be considered to have stepped into the twilight years of his life.
At that time, the position of Patriarch of the Su Clan would be passed down to the younger generation.
Whereas he would live in seclusion behind the scenes, and assist the new Patriarch.
Presently, the atmosphere within the audience hall seemed to be slightly oppressive.
A position below Su Bo Ya was empty at this moment …
Suddenly.
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from outside the palace. An elderly figure walked in.
This was an aged old man with a pair of muddy eyes that flickered with bloodthirsty rage, and the aura on his body was restless, as if it would explode out at any moment.
In next to no time, the old man sat on the empty seat below Su Bo Ya.
This seat was the seat of the Su Clan's Grand Elder.
The old man's identity was obvious …
The Su Clan's Grand Elder, Su Nan!
"Grand Elder, is there any hope of healing Su Tong's Dantian?"
Patriarch Su Bo Ya spoke, and his gaze descended onto Su Nan, and his tone contained slight anticipation mixed within.
The Su Clan elders present all looked at Su Nan as well, and their eyes all emitted traces of hope.
"Patriarch, my grandson's Dantian was almost minced into pieces by the offensive inscription, and he's powerless to reverse the situation … I'm afraid it's impossible for him to accumulate Origin Energy again in his lifetime!"
Su Nan's tone contained breathtaking coldness mixed within.
His son had died young, and these past few years, he had placed all his hopes on his grandson, Su Tong, and taught and fostered him with great care.
Su Tong didn't disappoint him, and became the disciple with the most outstanding natural talent in the Martial Dao in the younger generation of the Su Clan.
In another few years, if nothing unexpected happened, the position of the next Patriarch would surely be held by Su Tong.
Just when he thought that his grandson's life would usher in its greatest glory …
