5: Chapter 5: Wang Tingting began to regret it!

He had too many questions he wanted to ask Ye Qing right now, but, sigh, he had to deal with the scene first.

"Quick! A few of you, get them to the Medical Room immediately!"

Xu Bing immediately began to direct the situation.

Seeing Xu Bing arrive, many people quickly sprang into action.

The Cafeteria manager also walked over. "You can't leave. You've broken so many things; you need to pay compensation."

Xu Bing walked in and assessed the damage.

"This is roughly the cost of two second-Rank exotic beast crystal cores. Come find me later to collect it."

"Oh, it's Teacher Xu."

"Alright, alright, no problem."

The manager said immediately.

Xu Bing looked at Ye Qing, wondering what Rank of Spirit Master he was to be so formidable.

At the very least, he must be a Third Rank Late Stage Spirit Master!

Hiss!

Xu Bing was only at the Fifth Rank Middle Stage himself; how could this student be so strong?

He truly lived up to being a student he had high hopes for.

This time, it could be considered a lesson for those Sophomores.

But then...

Ye Qing walked toward Zhou Lingxue.

"How are you? You weren't frightened, were you?"

"No. What about you? Are you injured anywhere?"

Zhou Lingxue snapped back from the brutal scene just now. Although she had seen the whole process of Ye Qing dominating them, she was still worried if he had any injuries.

Hmm?!

This!

Seeing this scene, the smile on Xu Bing's face suddenly froze!

This was...?!

He knew that Young Woman who hung around the school!

The F-Rank Weapon Spirit?!

How could the two of them be so close?

Could it be?!

He quickly walked over.

"Ye Qing, are you... Contracted with her?"

Xu Bing asked Ye Qing in a voice full of disbelief.

"That's right, she is now my Weapon Spirit." As he spoke, Ye Qing even took Zhou Lingxue's hand.

Feeling Ye Qing's movement, Zhou Lingxue's face flushed with a shy red.

However, over here, Xu Bing's face fell.

"You, come to my office for a moment."

"Sigh, you come along too."

Xu Bing looked at Zhou Lingxue; if he left her here alone, he was afraid someone might retaliate against her.

A moment later, outside the office door.

Zhou Lingxue waited anxiously.

Inside.

Xu Bing lowered his voice and said to Ye Qing, "You... how can you be so disappointing! Have you lost your mind over a girl?!"

"Even if you terminated the Contract with Wang Tingting, you can't just give up on yourself like this!"

"You!"

Xu Bing wanted to say more, but Ye Qing looked at him. "Teacher Xu, if you're trying to persuade me to terminate the Contract with Zhou Lingxue, I think there's no need to say more."

Hiss!

Looking into Ye Qing's eyes, Xu Bing was momentarily stunned.

This kid... is he for real?

So determined?

Then, he leaned closer to Ye Qing.

After a long pause, he let out a sigh.

"I'm warning you, a Weapon Spirit is not a subordinate; they are a living person. Don't toy with a Weapon Spirit's feelings."

"Once you've made a decision, stick with it."

"I know." Ye Qing hadn't expected Xu Bing to react this way.

Hearing Ye Qing's words, Xu Bing sat down and loosened his tie. "You brat, you've caused such a big mess for me first thing this morning!"

"What a headache!"

"I have to run over and explain to the Principal, and I have to think carefully about how to keep you from being punished."

"You, oh you!"

"Alright, go prepare for the Practical Class in a bit. I'll go find the Principal."

Xu Bing came out of the room.

He sighed while holding his forehead, then glanced at Zhou Lingxue before walking away.

Ye Qing also came out.

Zhou Lingxue had been waiting outside. Although she couldn't hear the voices inside, she had a vague idea of what Ye Qing was being told.

It was definitely because of her.

She stood there in a daze, looking at Ye Qing, not knowing what to say to him.

"Ye Qing..."

"Let's go, prepare for the Practical Class. We'll need your power when we go outside the Barrier today, so don't drop the ball then."

Meanwhile, Xu Bing first went to compensate the Cafeteria manager.

Then he went to check on the people who were beaten in the Infirmary.

"They're fine, just some superficial injuries." Xu Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also shocked by Ye Qing's control; to use that kind of force and still maintain such control.

Not simple at all!

After gathering more information about the scene...

"Time to go find the Principal."

By now, the Cafeteria incident had already spread throughout the school.

"Hey, have you heard? In the Cafeteria, a few Sophomores were pummeled by the first year, Ye Qing."

"I heard. It was too brutal. I heard several young women's Transformation States were even broken!"

"In the end, those people were all carried away!"

"How powerful of a Spirit Master is he?"

"Didn't he just have his Contract terminated? What a great opportunity; I'm still in a gap period myself!"

"Go away, he's already contracted."

"Who?! Who moved so fast?"

"That F-Rank Tetanus Blade, Zhou Lingxue!"

"What the f—! Who?! What a waste of talent! A total waste!"

"How pitiful. So young, yet his eyes are blind? Contracting with an F-Rank Tetanus Blade? What was he thinking?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

...

In the restroom, at the sink.

Wang Tingting was about to wash her hands when she heard the voices from nearby.

What!

Who?!

Ye Qing?!

He beat up those Sophomores?

And it was that brutal?!

Afterward, Wang Tingting went out to ask around.

Sure enough, after a while, she summarized the information she had gathered!

It could only be described with the word 'terrifying'!

"Ye Qing's strength is actually this great?"

"He didn't show it at all before!"

"He's so good at acting; he even fooled me! If I had known, I wouldn't have terminated the Contract with him!"

Wang Tingting thought, and then she began to feel some regret.

Should she go find him to re-Contract?

Although she knew he was already contracted with Zhou Lingxue.

But Wang Tingting didn't take it to heart at all.

How could an F-Rank Tetanus Blade compare to a B-Rank Flying Dagger?

One is on the ground and the other is in the sky, okay!

But, would going to find Ye Qing now be too demeaning?

"It just so happens there's a Practical Class today."

"Once we're in the wild and you use that Tetanus Blade, you'll know how good I am! Besides, my Rank is high, so the time for Ancestral Return will be shorter! A Tetanus Blade? It probably won't be able to achieve Ancestral Return in a lifetime! You can only hide there!"

"And I will kill many exotic beasts."

At that time, when she proposes getting back together, she can continue to hold the upper hand!

Having made up her mind, Wang Tingting hummed a little tune as she walked.

Meanwhile, in the Principal's office.

Xu Bing knocked and entered.

"Finished?" The Principal sat there as a woman poured tea for him.

"Finished. This Ye Qing really didn't show his hand before!"

"It's pretty much the same as what that student reported earlier."

"You should have seen it; the scene was tragic!"

"Such a potential student is a blessing for our school! With proper training, he might shine brilliantly in the upcoming Grand Competitions and bring glory to our school."

"If he can enter the military in the future..."

"Reaching the High Ranks, or even above the Rank-Breaking, tsk tsk, our school will have another promising alumnus!"

As Xu Bing spoke, Li Peng was also somewhat surprised; to have such strength as a first year.

Truly not bad.

"Principal, this time, I think we shouldn't give Ye Qing a disciplinary action!"

"Although Ye Qing took action in the school, I've investigated, and it was those Sophomores who provoked him first."

"Ye Qing had no choice but to fight back."

"In this situation, if he didn't fight back, would he even have any spirit? If we still give him a disciplinary action, let's not stifle his spirit and limit his future development."

"Hmm, alright, we won't give Ye Qing a disciplinary action this time." The Principal nodded after some thought.

Beside him, the woman also poured a cup of tea for Xu Bing.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, I remember when you awakened, it was...?"

"B-Rank Flowing Fire Tang Blade."

"Right, right, right. I remember the Principal was quite famous back then; his strength was very great." Xu Bing looked at the Principal.

The Principal also felt something was off with Xu Bing's words.

What's wrong with this guy? Isn't he just trying to stir up trouble?!

"Cough cough! What kind of thinking is that? Can you judge the compatibility between a Spirit Master and a Weapon Spirit based on strength?"

"Although your sister-in-law and I had a difference in strength back then, after working together, we were the most suitable!"

"What kind of thinking is that!"

While Li Peng spoke, the woman beside him also had a smile on her face.

She was elated by those few sweet words.

"Principal, that's not what I meant. I told Ye Qing the same thing!" Xu Bing added.

Hmm?

"Why did you tell Ye Qing that?" The Principal was also stunned, then picked up his tea to drink.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. Ye Qing just contracted a Weapon Spirit; it's the F-Rank Tetanus Blade."

Pfft!

The next moment!

The tea the Principal had just sipped was sprayed out immediately.

His eyes widened as he looked at Xu Bing.

He was practically spitting fire.

You motherf—!

Xu Bing, you little brat!

You set me up just to keep Ye Qing from getting a disciplinary action?

What a waste of talent!

A total waste of talent!

Such a Spirit Master contracted an F-Rank Weapon Spirit?!

Is he crazy?!

What did you just say, a promising alumnus?!

Of those Powerful Experts, which one doesn't have a Weapon Spirit that's B-Rank or above and has undergone Ancestral Return?

"Is Ye Qing crazy! He's f—!"

"Principal, I see they have a very good relationship. You also said just now, these aren't problems; what matters is suitability. Look at you and sister-in-law." Xu Bing spread his hands; after all, he wasn't the one who had just said those words.

Damn!

The Principal's face contorted for a moment.

It took a long time for him to slowly calm down.

He looked at Xu Bing. "Teacher Xu, don't you have to lead a Practical Class in a bit?"

"Yes, Principal."

"Then you can 'roll out' of here now."

"Alright, Principal."

Xu Bing quickly slipped away.

After he left.

The Principal's fists clenched until they cracked, not just because of Xu Bing's trickery, but because he didn't understand—was Ye Qing crazy?

To waste such great strength!

Meanwhile, Xu Bing returned to the class to gather the students. Wang Tingting, Lü Li, Ye Qing, and Zhou Lingxue were all present.

A while later.

They arrived at the perimeter of the Barrier.

Approaching the Barrier, Ye Qing looked up at the wall. It was over a hundred meters high and over ten meters thick!

To describe it as towering and heavy was not an exaggeration at all.

Although it wasn't Ye Qing's first time leaving the Barrier.

Every time he saw this safety shield, he felt a sense of awe.

Beside him, Zhou Lingxue also looked at the wall with a shocked expression.

She knew that the inside and outside of this wall were two different worlds!

Outside was a bloody slaughter.

Exotic beasts ran rampant!

Inside, one could still find a corner of peace.

"Once we're outside, you all must be careful!"

"I won't nag you too much. Many of you have already been outside the Barrier and killed exotic beasts!"

"But..."

While Xu Bing was speaking...

Wang Tingting was in no mood to listen.

She squinted at Zhou Lingxue, who was leaning close to Ye Qing. Seeing her expression, she gave a cold laugh.

This girl clearly looked like she had never been outside the Barrier.

"Ye Qing, oh Ye Qing, once we're out and encounter exotic beasts, you'll know the gap between F-Rank and B-Rank."

"Some maggots are only fit to crawl on the ground for a lifetime."

Thinking this, Wang Tingting lifted her chin.
