Chapter 28: The Dragon Slayer Becomes the Dragon

"What? Principal Wang is a truant?"

"Impossible? He hates it when we do anything other than study."

"Then what's going on with this broadcast?"

"..."

The discussion inside the dormitory building gradually heated up.

Something within the campus seemed to be gradually awakening.

Principal Wang's expression grew increasingly ugly; his teeth-gritting look made it seem as though he wanted to swallow the person in the broadcast room alive.

He paid no more attention to Bai Li Dao beneath his feet.

He rotated the white ring in his hand.

No matter who the other party was, once he went over and crushed them, the school wouldn't be able to stir up any big waves.

Hoo—

A gentle breeze brushed past.

Principal Wang's grotesque face froze in place.

He was still in the teaching building!

"How could this be! Did the ring fail?" Principal Wang, finding it hard to believe, rotated the white ring again.

But no matter how he rotated it, nothing happened except for a slight pressure on his fingers and the pain of the overly tight size rubbing against his skin.

For the ring stored the supreme aura of that Existence!

Could it be that the person in the broadcast room accomplished in one night what he had dreamed of succeeding at for decades?

The other party absorbed that aura!?

Principal Wang was unwilling to believe such an absurd thing; he felt the other party must have used some method to block the connection between the ring and the aura.

Thinking of this, he directly strode forward.

Immediately, that mountain-sized body ran clumsily outside the teaching building toward the Art Building.

Perhaps because he had never engaged in such intense exercise since obtaining the ring, Principal Wang's running posture was slightly ridiculous, even resembling a child who had just learned to run.

The other party's cheap voice continued to echo throughout the campus—

"Thirty years ago, at the fiftieth-anniversary celebration banquet of Gaoshan High School, you took advantage of the exception where the entire school relaxed for a day and hid in the Art Building broadcast room."

"You attempted to climb over the fence at the back and escape from the school late at night after the celebration ended; you had even investigated the security guards' patrol routes in advance, found a ten-minute gap, and avoided getting caught."

"For this, you even managed to bribe the school doctor to get a leave note stating you were unable to attend class normally, making your homeroom teacher believe you were resting in the infirmary that night."

"Not a single student knew of your escape plan, because you trusted no one."

"But who could have imagined that everything was ready, only lacking the east wind, and when you were just one step away from escaping."

"The broadcast sounded."

Hearing his past experiences exposed bit by bit, a layer of loathing appeared on Principal Wang's sweat-drenched face.

How did this guy know the events of that year better than he did!

Is this hitting the nail on the head?

He admitted these things had all happened.

But so what?

If he hadn't accidentally heard that broadcast and listened to the ramblings of that Existence, how could he have obtained everything he possesses today!

Wu Wang flipped through the daily records inside the broadcast room while slowly explaining, his gaze directed at the two little chubby kids.

They had been trying to fight each other since they met.

It was then that he finally understood why Principal Wang was worried about the corpse in the dark room returning to the Art Building.

Because the restored Liu Yang could pin down the two little chubby kids without the slightest effort.

Especially the one in the ghostly form.

Even with all the means in the world, he could not cause the slightest injury to Liu Yang.

"Let me guess, the little chubby kid in the Art Building is your human side, and the ghostly chubby kid is your obsession with truancy, but I don't understand why he holds such great hostility toward students entering the Art Building?" Wu Wang communicated with Principal Wang across the distance.

Logically, a truant should be on the same side as the students, right?

Then why has the other party been attacking him?

Principal Wang did not reply.

He only gritted his teeth and rushed toward the Art Building.

Little did he know that the human-side chubby kid pinned down by Liu Yang spoke with trembling voice.

"I... I remember."

Wu Wang crossed his legs: "Speak in detail."

The chubby kid said with a bad expression: "Because he... no, it should be me, I really hated my classmates; they mocked my obese body caused by the side effects of long-term psychiatric medication, ridiculed my mediocre grades, and even beat and kicked me, injuring my body."

"I was the lowest existence in the class."

Hearing this, Wu Wang suddenly understood.

Yes, how could he have forgotten the most common accidental situation on campus?

Bullying...

Just looking at the human-side chubby kid, when Principal Wang was a student, he must have been a similarly timid little chubby kid, bullied by everyone and too afraid to resist.

Plus, with the high-pressure learning atmosphere of Gaoshan High School, back then management wasn't as strict as it is now, and students could still find ways to vent their inner suppression.

That was to bully the weaker ones.

So, the ghostly chubby kid was not just an obsession with truancy, but also represented Principal Wang's loathing for the entire system and existence of Gaoshan High School.

No wonder Principal Wang wouldn't let him leave the Art Building.

This guy's idea of equality when he goes out is to kill you all without distinction.

Thinking of this, Wu Wang turned his head and broadcast to the entire school through the microphone: "Principal Wang, since you know what kind of oppression such high pressure brings, and even you chose to flee back then, why have you returned now to become the abuser?"

Having once been caught in the rain yourself, so you tear up everyone else's umbrella, right?

This mental state is even more abnormal than my own.

This time, Principal Wang replied.

He cursed viciously: "So what if I fled? Gaoshan High School is a damn cage, but isn't the outside world one too? Ordinary people can never break free from the shackles society gives them!"

"So I returned."

"Since the outside is an even bigger cage, why not make the students of Gaoshan High School stronger before they even contact the outside world! Give them a higher starting point! Make it easier for them to stand at the top of society in the future!"

"In this way, they won't be bullied by anyone..."

Having said this, he was already near the Art Building.

This outrageous theory made Wu Wang look at him with new respect.

I didn't expect this guy to be quite righteous.

Although it was only self-righteous justice.

But he really was taking action for his own thought, just that the method was too twisted.

For example, there really is no bullying in Gaoshan High School now, because everyone has absolutely no energy to consider anything other than studying;

The students who go out really all enter top universities, becoming elites in others' eyes, just extremely cold and uncaring about anything other than success; family, friendship, and love are worthless in their eyes;

Gaoshan High School's fame has become increasingly known to every household; judging from the dungeon introduction, one can see how much parents want their children to enter here.

But what about the students' own feelings?

In Principal Wang's view, this is completely not an important matter.

He doesn't need students to possess freedom, thought, emotion, and all the other human weaknesses in his view.

All he needs is for these students to succeed.

Noticing that Wu Wang did not ask him anything further.

A proud smile involuntarily appeared on Principal Wang's face; he knew his thought was correct.

The other party was powerless to refute!

But he never expected that moments later, Wu Wang's voice came through the broadcast again—

"Your methods are indeed quite good."

"Because you bribed the school doctor and studied the security guards' patrol routes. So after becoming principal, the school doctor became a machine that only acts according to standards and never betrays; the security guards became ghosts who never tire and can patrol forever; Gaoshan High School became an impenetrable fortress."

"But now, it has become your downfall."

Wu Wang suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Gaoshan High School security guards and school doctors, listen to orders! There is a dead fat man trying to escape school near the Art Building! Catch him and bring him back to the Teaching Building!"

He had figured it out.

Since both of these have become monsters that cannot think, they won't care about who is principal or not.

They only obey orders.

The broadcast room is usually Principal Wang's personal space.

Therefore, the orders issued here are the highest commands!

"How dare you!" Principal Wang roared in anger.

But gradually, deafening sounds from around him covered his roar.

All the doctors and security guards in the school were rushing in this direction; their powerful ghostly forms made the sound of them running together as terrifying as a landslide or a tsunami.

Even though Wu Wang was in the broadcast room on the third floor of the Art Building, he could hear the outside noise as if the sky were collapsing.

Every place in the school fell into an unprecedented period of silence, with no security guards patrolling or standing guard anywhere.

His face once again showed the familiar mad expression; he leaned his mouth close to the microphone and slowly spoke words that made Principal Wang tremble with fear.

"Your vision hasn't opened up."

"Escaping is too cowardly; the problem is right here, what meaning is there in you fleeing alone?"

"I want to do something you have never thought of, something the students don't even dare to hope for."

Having said this, Wu Wang paused for a moment.

Then, with his loudest voice, he shouted word by word to the entire school: "All students of Gaoshan High School!"

"Listen to me! From now on—"

"School is dismissed!"
