74: Avoid lightning
The words “drop out” were uttered.
The surrounding teachers and students all felt their heads buzzing.
In the High Martial Era, it was actually rare for students to drop out.
Unless the student committed a serious, unforgivable mistake.
Otherwise, the school would not easily expel students.
Relatively, at least in recent years, there has never been a case of a student dropping out in Luofeng City.
Those who could enter higher-ranked schools would not come to lower-ranked schools in the first place.
Even those who had no hope of becoming a Martial Artist would try their best in school for a final struggle.
Voluntarily dropping out was definitely big news!
The most crucial point was that in this era, only enrolled students were qualified to participate in the Martial Dao Grand Examination.
Once he dropped out, if no other school recruited Li Canglan.
He would lose the qualification for the Martial Dao Grand Examination!
Principal Cai Xu’s gaze was terrifyingly dark, and he stared intently at Li Canglan like a hawk.
“Have you thought it through clearly?”
His relationships with the principals of other schools were quite good.
If Li Canglan dropped out, he was confident that he could make all of them refuse to recruit Li Canglan!
Even if Li Canglan had talent, he still needed a platform to realize that talent.
“If it wasn’t to drop out, I wouldn’t have made a special trip to school today.”
Li Canglan grinned, an indescribable sense of ease on his face.
“You should know what’s best for you.”
Principal Cai Xu did not try to keep him, and flicked his sleeves before leaving.
A strong person has a strong person’s dignity; how could he, a dignified Four-Star Strong Person, bow down and admit his mistake to a Body Tempering Realm student?
Absolutely impossible!
Principal Cai Xu was convinced that as long as other schools refused Li Canglan’s enrollment.
It wouldn’t be long before Li Canglan would come back to him, wanting to enroll!
On the podium, Xu Lei’s heart blossomed with joy as he watched the principal leave.
Without the principal’s protection, he just needed to find someone to deal with Li Canglan.
As long as he was discreet, no one would ever trace it back to him.
As for suspicion?
As long as there was no evidence, the Patrol Guard would not be foolish enough to trouble a Martial Artist family.
After all, he had just made great contributions during the recent Wormhole Disaster.
Although the Patrol Guard had iron-fisted methods, they wouldn’t chill the hearts of meritorious officials.
Of course, Xu Lei, who had not personally experienced it.
Would never have thought that the Patrol Guard’s Deputy Commander Fu was an Ability User with the talent of Spirit of Language.
If he really killed Li Canglan.
If the Patrol Guard was determined to investigate, it would be impossible for him to get away with it.
It was just that in ordinary cases, it wasn’t worth the Patrol Guard’s Deputy Commander Fu expending energy to use Spirit of Language.
The stronger the target, the more mental energy consumed by using the talent.
This was also a drawback of special talents.
Around the arena, Li Canglan’s actions caused a chorus of sighs.
The homeroom teacher, Zhang Xin, sighed, disappointed by his failure to meet expectations.
“Li Canglan, why are you doing this?”
In his eyes, Li Canglan simply wanted to vent his anger.
Xu Yifan’s revenge had already been taken.
He could also get a special training slot from the City Lord’s Mansion.
A bright future was awaiting Li Canglan.
He just needed to follow the steps, and there was a high probability that he could get into a key Martial Dao Academy.
Why offend the principal and even drop out just to vent his anger?
Li Canglan smiled.
“Teacher, I know what I’m doing. Please help me with the withdrawal procedures.”
At this moment, Zhang Ganchao also jogged to Li Canglan’s side and whispered,
“Canglan, after dropping out, can you get a spot to participate in the Grand Examination?”
Li Canglan turned his head.
“Probably, why?”
“Then I want to drop out too.”
“Why are you dropping out for no reason?”
Li Canglan said irritably,
“Aren’t you afraid your aunt and uncle will give you a mixed doubles?”
Zhang Ganchao said emphatically,
“You offended the principal and Xu Lei, and you just walked away, what about me?”
“Even if the principal isn’t so petty as to not bother me, Xu Lei clearly has no intention of letting you go. With his nephew instigating, dealing with me is just an incidental matter.”
“If you can get a spot in another school, I naturally have to run away quickly to avoid trouble.”
The reason Zhang Ganchao asked this question.
Was naturally because he believed in the ability of the expert behind Li Canglan.
Li Canglan understood Zhang Ganchao’s thoughts.
“Teacher, please help Ganchao with the procedures as well.”
Zhang Xin sighed, wanting to keep Zhang Ganchao.
After all, this was also a student he had taught for more than two years.
To say he had no feelings would be false.
However, no matter what he said, Zhang Ganchao was determined to leave and unwilling to stay.
Zhang Xin could only take the two of them out of the venue to handle the withdrawal procedures.
Watching the three figures leave, many students expressed regret.
“Alas, Li Canglan is a Genius, but he’s still too arrogant.”
They were all ordinary people, without such a broad vision.
In their eyes, the principal was already a supreme Strong Person.
As for even stronger ones, like the Patrol Guard’s Commander Fu, or the Demon Suppression Division’s Demon Suppressor, who were Five-Star or even Six-Star Strong Persons.
For the vast majority of them.
They were existences they would never be able to come into contact with in their lifetime.
Offending a Four-Star Strong Person like the principal basically meant their life was over.
The withdrawal procedures took nearly half an hour.
Then Li Canglan accompanied Zhang Ganchao back to the infirmary and classroom to pack their belongings.
And then they left the school directly.
The two arrived at the school gate, and Li Canglan casually hailed a taxi.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Jinghai Martial Arts Hall.
“Canglan, you haven’t been training here all this time, have you?”
Looking at the tall, magnificent Martial Arts Hall.
Zhang Ganchao was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking left and right.
“You could say that.”
Li Canglan smiled, and after swiping his card to enter, the two walked directly to the Hall Master’s office.
This time, Li Canglan used his original face.
So, there were no people who had seen him fight before crowding around.
After knocking on the door, Li Canglan motioned for Zhang Ganchao to wait a moment, and then he walked into the office.
Outside, Zhang Ganchao saw the sign for the Hall Master’s office and his heart sank.
He opened his phone and searched, and the Hall Master of Jinghai Martial Arts Hall was a Five-Star Strong Person!
Could it be that the expert Canglan mentioned was the Hall Master, Guan Zhenyue?
No wonder Canglan could have such a big change in a week’s time.
It’s normal for there to be a big change with a Five-Star Martial Artist as a master, right?
Li Canglan quickly walked out of the office.
He had already sent a message to Guan Zhenyue on the way.
For Guan Zhenyue, it was just a small favor.
Guan Zhenyue still needed Li Canglan to get a good ranking for him in the Martial Arts Hall Competition.
He naturally wouldn’t refuse such a small matter.
The two took their documents and went to Luofeng City First Elementary Martial Dao Academy.
Meanwhile, Principal Cai Xu, immediately after leaving, sent a message in the group chat of all the principals.
“A student with corrupt morals has been expelled by me. Everyone, please avoid him strictly. His name is Li Canglan.”
