After taking a few steps, Du Shaofu turned around and looked at the few youths. "Right, if anyone dares to say anything about me, I'll put the blame on you. I'll beat you up every time I see you. I'll remember your faces."
After saying those words, Du Shaofu turned around and left without looking back.
The few youths glanced at each other with ugly expressions. They didn't expect the young man to be much more vicious than they had imagined. How was he still a newbie? He wasn't someone they could deal with.
"Grind the square stones, go back and rest early."
Seeing Du Shaofu teach those seniors a lesson, the group of registered students felt delighted. Then, they started to grind the square stones, and 'rumbling' sounds could be heard. It wouldn't take long for them to complete today's mission.
In the back mountains, the undulating mountain range was covered by a lush green forest. Gazing into the distance, one could vaguely see towering peaks in the clouds.
Du Shaofu climbed to the top of the tallest mountain. He was already some distance away from the place where the registered students were grinding the square stones. In the dense forest, bright flowers danced in the wind. Gazing at the buildings and mountain peaks in the distance, Du Shaofu fell into a daze.
Du Shaofu wasn't interested in being a handyman when he came up the mountain. Furthermore, he really wanted to take a look around. After all, this was the place where his drunkard father had once stayed. "So this is Tianwu Academy?"
After a moment, Du Shaofu smiled faintly. Even though he had arrived at Tianwu Academy, it was probably different from what his drunkard father had imagined. Even though he had entered Tianwu Academy, he had become a handyman.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Du Shaofu's gaze shifted to a spot not far ahead. There was a figure sitting on a rock under a big tree. He hadn't noticed him when he came up. Judging from his back, he should be an old man.
Eyebrows twitching, Du Shaofu walked over. Using his mental energy, he couldn't sense any aura from the elder.
When Du Shaofu arrived behind the elder, the latter turned around. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, a large nose, and a wide mouth. His hair was messy like dried grass. His face was pale, like a piece of ragged cloth. His eyes were bright, but there was a hint of listlessness in them.
What surprised Du Shaofu the most was that this elder hadn't shaved for a long time. His large face was like a barren land filled with grass, and with the wrinkles on his face made him look like a savage or gorilla. Du Shaofu almost took two steps back in shock.
The elder looked at Du Shaofu and sized him up from head to toe with curiosity. "Lad, why are you here? You seem to be a new Write-In Student. Aren't you afraid of being bullied by the seniors when you come out to slack off?"
"Hehe, I don't want to offend anyone, but if anyone dares to bully me, I will beat them up."
Du Shaofu chuckled. It seemed like this old man knew quite a lot. Following which, he sat down on the rock beside the old man and gazed at the mountain range before him before asking the old man, "Old man, are you an old member of Tianwu Academy? It seems like you know quite a bit."
"It seems like those seniors aren't easy to bully you."
The elder chuckled and turned to look at Du Shaofu. "I should be an old member of Tianwu Academy. I've been here for my entire life, and now that I'm old, I don't have much to do."
"Are you from the miscellaneous affairs department as well?" Du Shaofu looked at the old man. Judging from his sloppy appearance, he probably wasn't from the Chore House, not the Chore House.
"Hehe." The elder's gaze shifted before he chuckled. "You can say that I'm from the miscellaneous affairs department. I've been working in Tianwu Academy for my entire life."
"Since you've been working for your entire life, why don't you return home?" Du Shaofu asked curiously.
"Return home..."
Ripples appeared in the elder's bright yet lifeless eyes. He looked at the mountain range and pavilions in front of him and said softly, "I'm already so old and have no family. I've been staying in Tianwu Academy all my life. To me, Tianwu Academy is my home. Where else can I return to? I'm afraid that I'll die of old age in Tianwu Academy."
Du Shaofu looked at the elder. For some reason, he felt respect for the elder. Anyone who could stay in one place for their entire life was worthy of respect.
The elder stretched his back before looking at Du Shaofu and asked, "Lad, you just came in, right? What do you think of Tianwu Academy?"
"I used to yearn for this place because my drunkard father used to stay here as well. He was the one who wanted me to come here."
Du Shaofu looked at the elder and paused for a moment. His expression changed slightly before he continued, "However, I feel that Tianwu Academy is just so-so. I'll be leaving in a few days."
"Oh..."
The beard of the elder moved slightly before he asked, "What's your father's name? I've been here for a long time, so I might even know your father."
"My drunkard father isn't that famous, so it's impossible for you to know him."
Du Shaofu replied immediately. However, he didn't dare to mention his drunkard father's name. After all, he was ranked second on the bounty board. It would be strange if he wasn't famous in Tianwu Academy.
"Then, what's your name?" The elder smiled before asking Du Shaofu.
"Du Shaofu." Du Shaofu didn't hide it. After all, many people knew about it.
"Du Shaofu, huh..."
The elder muttered softly as he sized up Du Shaofu. After which, he continued, "You should take a look around Tianwu Academy. Actually, Tianwu Academy isn't too bad and you can learn quite a few things there. Back in the day, Tianwu Academy produced many outstanding students who eventually became famous. However, Tianwu Academy has declined and is no longer the same as before. "
After saying those words, a hint of emotion flashed through the elder's lifeless eyes.
"If there's a chance, I'll take a look around."
Du Shaofu nodded his head. He didn't object to the elder's words. Tianwu Academy did have a strong foundation and countless experts had emerged from it.
"Old Third."
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of the mountain. Du Shaofu turned around and saw a figure running over. The voice belonged to Zhang Wei.
"If there's a chance, come and chat with this old man again."
The elder stood up and looked at Du Shaofu with a smile on his desolate face. After which, he turned around and walked down the mountain.
"Old Third, you're really here. I've finally found you."
Zhang Wei and the old man brushed past each other. Zhang Wei glanced at the old man suspiciously. Then, he took a few steps and arrived in front of Du Shaofu. His face was pale and anxious.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Zhang Wei's expression, Du Shaofu's expression became serious, and his heart tightened for no reason.
Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Du Shaofu. With a trembling voice, he said, "Old Fourth was beaten up by the seniors and was severely injured. When he found us at the back of the mountain, he had already fainted. His ears were sliced off and his body was covered in blood. It's too tragic. Those seniors didn't treat Old Fourth as a human at all."
...
When Du Shaofu rushed back to the densely packed mountain of rocks, a few youths were standing at the side. After seeing Du Shaofu, they couldn't help but take a few steps back. Their eyes faintly revealed a look of fear.
A group of registered students gathered together, and the sound of discussion could be heard. Zhang Wei, who was at the front, shouted, "Everyone, make way. Boss, Third Bro is here."
The Registered Students who were gathered together suddenly opened up a path, and their gazes immediately fell on Du Shaofu.
On a rock, Wu Qingfeng was supporting the unconscious Sun Zhi. He didn't know what to do and his eyes were bloodshot. When he saw Du Shaofu, he immediately raised his head and his eyes trembled. He said, "Old Third, come and take a look at Old Fourth. Old Fourth's injuries are too serious. I gave him some pills, but it doesn't seem to be effective."
Du Shaofu quickly walked into the crowd. When he saw Sun Zhi, who was being supported by Wu Qingfeng, his gaze suddenly trembled. His hands quietly clenched into fists, and a cold look surfaced on his face.
At this moment, Sun Zhi's injuries were even more serious than what Sun Wei had said. His body was covered in blood and his left ear had been sliced off. Fresh blood stained his clothes. The blood had just coagulated and his eyes were tightly shut. His face was pale and his breathing was weak.
"What the hell is going on?"
As Du Shaofu spoke, he immediately supported Sun Zhi in Wu Qingfeng's hands. He formed a hand seal and profound energy surged. Several finger seals landed on Sun Zhi's body.
Wu Qingfeng retreated to the side and said, "I'm not sure either. When Old Fourth arrived, he had already collapsed. He only said that it was the seniors who did it and then he fainted."
"Chi chi …"
After Du Shaofu slowly laid the unconscious Sun Zhi down on the rock, the seals in his hands once again changed. Numerous runes surged and landed on Sun Zhi's body. As the rune energy landed on Sun Zhi's body, Sun Zhi's body trembled slightly.
Du Shaofu's expression became uglier and uglier. From the examination, he found out that Sun Zhi's injuries were not light. He was not injured by a single person and there were two residual profound energy energies in his body.
From the injuries, it seemed that two people had kicked Sun Zhi in the stomach. It was a clean kick.
The people who did it were all in the Pulsating Realm. They were much stronger than Sun Zhi. A casual kick was enough to seriously injure Sun Zhi, let alone two kicks.
If they had used a little more strength, Sun Zhi would have lost his life. It was obvious that the people who did it did not dare to kill. However, not only did they seriously injure Sun Zhi, they even cut off his ear. It could be said that they were vicious and merciless.
"Pu!"
When Du Shaofu's last rune energy landed on the acupuncture point on Sun Zhi's lower abdomen and his hand seals disappeared, the unconscious Sun Zhi's chest heaved up and down. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then his tightly shut eyes slowly opened.
