Chapter 65: Verbal War

Sun Buyu led the three of them into the Education Committee.

Nowadays, Qin Ming had already been removed from his post, and he was the lead teacher for both teams.

Although he had taken over a mess, as a teacher, he ought to actively handle the relationships between the students.

Seeing the faces of the three, Meng Shenji's expression softened slightly, and he beckoned, "Tianheng, you are the captain; set an example and apologize to Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong."

Yu Tianheng gave a bitter smile and stepped forward.

Yesterday, he had been hot-headed for a moment, leading to a situation that spiraled out of control; he ought to bear the primary responsibility.

He couldn't afford not to take responsibility; how many pairs of eyes in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family were watching him?

Yu Yuanzhen had said that the position of Young Sect Master would be decided between him and Yu Tianxin; if he dared to act improperly, it would provide others with ammunition.

Before he could speak, Dugu Yan said with a look of resentment, "Chief Meng Shenji, on what grounds should Tianheng apologize?"

"During the match, they didn't hold back at all; Yu Feng and Aosiluo were nearly killed by them."

"If it weren't for Tianheng intervening in time, I fear the academy would be holding funerals for them right now!"

"Our Imperial Fighting Team does not look for trouble, but if our members are bullied, we will never sit idly by."

She could give Meng Shenji face and obediently take a scolding, but that didn't mean she would give face to Wu Qi and the others!

Asking them to apologize was absolutely impossible!

Last night, after Ye Lingling's treatment, apart from some residual bruises, Yu Feng and Aosiluo were no longer in any serious condition.

Seeing someone speak up for him, Aosiluo pointed to the bruise on his forehead and whined, "Chief Meng Shenji, two Committee Members, you must seek justice for me and Little Bird."

"Look at this injury; I'm still feeling dizzy even now."

Ning Rongrong sneered, "What a classic case of shifting the blame."

Yesterday, she and Sword Douluo had arrived at the match site very early.

It was only because Chen Xin had deliberately restrained his aura that no one discovered their presence.

She had seen everything that happened on the arena stage with her own eyes.

The behavior of Yu Feng and Aosiluo was just like that of children whose minds had not yet matured.

After causing trouble and getting a beating, they just cried and went home to find their mothers.

Zhilin scolded sternly, "Who are you putting on this show of mourning for!?"

"You are Spirit Masters, young Spirit Masters! Not toddlers who haven't awakened their martial souls!"

"The match was initiated by the two of you; what, you lost the match and want to rely on playing the victim to get back at them?"

The academy encouraged sparring between students; losing a match was nothing—find your own problems, and once your strength improves, you can just win it back.

But Aosiluo's actions were clearly an attempt to rely on elders to exert pressure and get back at them!

This was not how a mature Spirit Master should behave; once this precedent was set, the Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan would rot to the core.

Dugu Yan crossed her arms over her chest, not backing down in the slightest, "We brought shame to the academy—that is our fault, and we admit it! But this matter did not start because of us; an apology is absolutely impossible."

Meng Shenji suddenly felt a headache.

Behind Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo; as the only relative of a Title Douluo, who would dare to do anything to her?

Qiangu Changkong did not care about Dugu Yan's status; who didn't have a powerful grandfather?

And he possessed seven grandfathers capable of making the continent tremble.

"Hey! Then I'm going to have a good talk with you about this."

"Originally, Yu Tianheng had discussed it with Brother Wu, and it was a normal spar; furthermore, Brother Wu didn't pursue the matter of the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers interfering, so the matter should have ended there."

"Yet you, damn it, launched a sneak attack; to protect himself, Brother Wu had no choice but to ascend rapidly, and the resulting airflow blew away your poison mist."

"As it turns out, you're truly trash, unable to even resolve your own poison. Look at your pathetic state; I'm afraid the poison of your martial soul has already seeped into your bone marrow, hasn't it?"

"This young master is magnanimous; considering you're a short-lived ghost, I didn't want to bicker with you, but you're still pushing your luck, aren't you?"

Although these were insults, he had accidentally stumbled upon the root cause of the Jade Phosphor Snake martial soul.

Wu Qi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat; if Dugu Bo heard the other party's words, he feared there would be big trouble.

Qiangu Changkong did not know about the treasure land Dugu Bo possessed, nor did he know the function of the Immortal Herb.

For a moment, Wu Qi prepared for the worst-case scenario.

If Dugu Bo caused trouble for Qiangu Changkong because of these remarks, coupled with his own enmity with the Spirit Hall, in the future, they might only be able to have the elders forcibly seize the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

If it really reached that point, Dugu Bo definitely could not be left alive!

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario; if there was an opportunity to win over Dugu Bo, Wu Qi would certainly not do this.

……

Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan were lovers; regardless of whether he had other thoughts, at this moment, he would stand behind Dugu Yan.

For a time, the Education Committee office evolved into a scene of a verbal war.

Qiangu Changkong and Ning Rongrong had plenty of firepower; the two of them stood firm against the four members of the Imperial Fighting Team without losing ground.

For the three Education Committees, both sides of the verbal war had deep backgrounds and could not be offended at all.

Seeing that both sides were on the verge of taking action, in desperation, Meng Shenji gave a wink to Sun Buyu.

The latter understood and slammed his right hand heavily onto the table!

"Enough! You are all Spirit Masters, not street shrews; what kind of decorum is this, making such a racket here! Do you have any respect for the three Education Committees, do you have any respect for the dignity of the Empire!"

After the stern reprimand, both sides turned away in unison, ignoring each other.

Meng Shenji had originally intended to have Wu Qi and the other two join the first team, but looking at the current situation, even if the other party were willing to go, Yu Tianheng and the others might not necessarily accept them.

"Little Wu, the three of you stay; everyone else get back to training. If there is any more conflict between you, go and ask for punishment before His Majesty yourselves!"

……

The three Education Committees had seen Wu Qi's performance just now.

To be able to remain calm and composed when his own interests were at stake—such a state of mind was truly rare.

Compared to the impulsive Yu Tianheng, it seems Wu Qi is more suited to serve as the captain of the Imperial Fighting Team and bring glory to the empire!

Yu Tianheng certainly cannot be moved, so letting Wu Qi manage and assemble the second team independently seems like a good choice.

Meng Shenji said bitterly, "Little Wu, don't take these things to heart; Tianheng and the others are also geniuses with too much arrogance, which makes it very difficult for us to handle."

Wu Qi understood this clearly.

In the original timeline, wasn't the match between the Imperial Fighting Team and the Shrek Team lost miserably precisely because of Yu Tianheng's arrogance?

Tang San's Hidden Weapon is indeed powerful, but if they had taken their opponent seriously from the very beginning, they wouldn't have lost so miserably!

Now, the conflict between Dugu Yan and them has completely intensified, and all that remains is to wait for Dugu Bo to appear.

"Little Wu, do you have any ideas regarding the formation of the team? If you have your eye on students from other academies, this old face of mine is still somewhat useful and I can get them for you."

Wu Qi knew that Meng Shenji was offering him benefits in a roundabout way.

He and Qiangu Changkong had only been enrolled for a short time and had no emotional attachment to the academy.

If this matter caused the two of them to leave, it would undoubtedly be a major loss for Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.

Wu Qi did not intend to let the academy come forward to recruit Huo Wushuang and his sister.

He was not only recruiting this pair of siblings, but also wanted to recruit the family behind them!
