Chapter 70: The Famous Clear Sky School

"Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting. Xuanzi, you can explain the situation."

As the old voice from the head seat slowly echoed, the Sea God Pavilion meeting resumed.

"Yes, Old Mu."

Xuanzi, who had just finished eating the chicken leg in his hand, wiped his hand on his dirty clothes, stood up, and began to speak after scanning the room.

"This incident happened suddenly, and the reason I called everyone here is because just now, two freshmen from the outer courtyard had a fight in the bathhouse."

Seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Xuanzi cleared his throat and continued.

"However, that's not the main point. The main point is that through our brief investigation, we found that one of them is the legitimate son of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion from the Star Luo Empire, and the other... appears to be a genius from the Clear Sky School."

Hearing this, the elders' expressions eased a little, but they still frowned. The elder sitting opposite Xuanzi, Old Lin, couldn't help but speak up.

"Xuanzi, although the Clear Sky School has indeed stayed out of the world for a long time, a fight involving a genius student from their school shouldn't be enough to warrant us convening the Sea God Pavilion meeting, right? After all, Shrek Academy has always encouraged competition among its students, even in the form of private fights."

Xuanzi snorted coldly. "Lin Huiqun, what kind of person do you take me for? The reason I called this meeting is because this kid's level of genius is quite extraordinary."

"Oh?" Old Lin raised his eyebrows. "So, what's different about this kid?"

"He possesses twin martial spirits."

Xuanzi paused before continuing, "Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer."

The elders couldn't help but be stunned.

"Isn't that the same martial spirit as Ancestor Tang San?"

"Yes, and coincidentally, this boy's name is also Tang San."

After saying that, Xuanzi shot Old Lin a smug look. "Now do you see why I called this meeting?"

Old Lin, who had always been at odds with Xuanzi, couldn't tolerate such provocation. He sneered in response.

"Even if he has twin martial spirits identical to Ancestor Tang San's, that still doesn't warrant such a fuss. Over the past ten thousand years, Shrek Academy has seen plenty of students with twin martial spirits, and some even possessed spirits superior in quality to Tang San's. Yet none of them achieved what Tang San did back then."

This time, however, Xuanzi didn't argue back. Instead, his expression grew serious as he said, "This is exactly the key point I wanted to discuss."

"That child entered the academy as a Soul Elder, with a cultivation already at rank 32. More importantly, he easily defeated the White Tiger Spirit wielder of the same level, who had taken a special pill for temporary power boost, using only his Clear Sky Hammer without a soul ring."

"And from our questioning of the White Tiger Spirit wielder, we learned that this student named Tang San is also proficient in hidden weapons and the secret techniques of the Tang Sect. His hidden weapons are powerful enough to pose a threat to a Soul King's life."

As Xuanzi revealed more details of what he had learned, the expressions of the elders finally began to change.

"I'm not sure if the boy is hiding more of his strength, but based on what he has already shown, he may have already surpassed Tang San at the same age."

When Xuanzi finished speaking, Old Lin had no rebuttal. Even he had to admit that a Soul Elder capable of fighting on par with a Soul King was terrifyingly gifted.

But no one voiced their opinions. Instead, they all turned their gaze toward the head seat, waiting for Old Mu to make a decision.

The silent meeting room was filled with only the soft, rhythmic tapping of Old Mu's fingers on his chair.

After a long time, the old voice spoke again.

"There's no need to rush. We'll observe for a while. None of you should make contact with him just yet."

"Shao Zhe, send someone to investigate his background. Report to me once you have results."

Yan Shao Zhe quickly stood up and respectfully replied, "Yes, teacher."

Recalling the information he had seen on Gu Yue Na and Huo Yuhao, Shao Zhe wanted to say something, but when he caught sight of Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo from the Soul Guidance Department, he swallowed his words and returned to the previous topic about Tang San.

"Teacher, how should we handle this bathhouse fight?"

Although it was a simple matter of two freshmen fighting, how to handle it was significant. After all, if you look closely, Dai Huabin had initiated the attack. It wouldn't be inappropriate to give him a demerit, which might even leave a good impression on Tang San.

However, considering Dai Huabin's background, punishing him could easily offend the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.

"What demerit?"

Xuanzi took a swig from his gourd of wine and snorted. "Only cowards avoid conflict. Being ready for unexpected situations is a quality we expect of Shrek students."

"Even though the White Tiger Duke's boy lost, he still seized the opportunity to strike when his opponent was 'vulnerable.' That alone deserves praise."

Yan Shao Zhe's mouth twitched, unsure of what to say. At that moment, Old Mu's voice rang out again.

"Do as Xuanzi says."

"Yes, teacher."

Just as Yan Shao Zhe was about to leave, Old Mu spoke again.

"Also, add two new rules: no fighting in the bathhouse, and no fighting without clothes on."

"While we encourage student competition, fighting naked does create a poor impression."

Hearing this, everyone struggled to keep a straight face as Yan Shao Zhe held back his laughter and nodded.

"Understood, teacher."

The next day.

As class was about to start, several students had already gathered in the classroom. Unsurprisingly, they were all discussing last night's bathhouse fight.

"Hey, did you hear about what happened last night?"

"Hear about it? I saw it with my own eyes—Clear Sky Sect's Naked War God!"

"No way, are all Clear Sky Sect members so fierce? I didn't believe it at first. Do they really strip before fighting?"

"Of course! And this morning, the academy issued two new rules because of it. Not only did he have the Clear Sky Hammer, but before using it, he also used Blue Silver Grass. He might have twin martial spirits!"

"Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer? Isn't that exactly like Ancestor Tang San's spirits from ten thousand years ago?"

"Not just the same martial spirits—the Naked War God is also named Tang San!"

"No wonder he's so strong! Do you think the legendary Ancestor Tang San from the Clear Sky Sect fought naked too?"

The student's eyes lit up as if he had discovered some shocking secret, and he grew more and more excited as he spoke.

"Maybe this naked fighting style was invented by Ancestor Tang San and has been passed down in the Clear Sky Sect ever since!"

The student next to him pondered for a moment and then nodded seriously.

"Now that you mention it, that might be true! I heard that ten thousand years ago, the Clear Sky Sect was the number one sect in the world, but then they suddenly went into hiding right after Ancestor Tang San rose to power. Could it be that they hid because the naked fighting style was too embarrassing?"

The students exchanged glances and sighed in amazement.

"No wonder Ancestor Tang San was able to lead Shrek to defeat the Spirit Hall and eventually become a god. What an incredible person!"

Similar conversations took place in another classroom. Listening to the discussions around her, Wang Dong'er blushed and kept her head down, her fists clenched tightly.

Although she didn't know why another disciple of the Clear Sky Sect had appeared at Shrek, that didn't stop her from being dragged into the situation.

From this moment on, she knew she would have to seal away her Clear Sky Hammer martial spirit.

There was no way she could bear the shame.

If anyone found out she was also a Clear Sky Sect disciple, she'd never live it down.

As for the person who disgraced the sect... she would make sure to tell her two fathers when she got home!
