79: Chapter 79 You actually insulted an old person!

"Big Brother, ahead is the legendary Jade Clarity Spiritual Pool!"

Tian Yan pushed up his glasses and pointed forward:

"I heard that if you drink a mouthful of its water, it can prolong your life, and there are Golden Scale Spirit Fish inside!"

"Let's go catch two fish, and while we're at it, fill a few buckets of water to take back for cooking rice. The taste must be absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Peng's eyes lit up. His already small eyes narrowed into slits, and he barely managed to keep the drool at the corner of his mouth from dripping down.

"I didn't expect you kid to be such a foodie!"

"Let's go, let's catch some fish!"

"We definitely won't come back empty-handed tonight!"

The three of them ran excitedly toward the Jade Clarity Spiritual Pool.

However, when they stood by the white marble railing and looked down, they were all dumbfounded.

Under the moonlight, the spiritual pool, which should have been sparkling, now looked like a dried-up crater.

Forget about water.

Even the silt at the bottom had been scraped clean, revealing the bare cement base.

Even a section of the white marble railing had been broken off.

"This..."

Tian Yan rubbed his eyes, completely bewildered:

"Big Brother, the intelligence was wrong!"

"Why is this pool dry? Did the school cut off the water?"

Tian Peng stomped his foot in anger, his belly fat trembling three times:

"Bad luck! Really damn bad luck!"

"This must be the work of competitors!"

"Is the industry competition this fierce now? We just wanted to steal some water, and these people even scraped away the silt?"

"This is simply leaving us no way to survive!"

Tian Shou was also full of indignation:

"Too unscrupulous! Absolutely no professional ethics! This is like shearing a sheep until it's bald!"

"Let's go! Let's look elsewhere!"

The three of them grumbled as they left the spiritual pool.

Meanwhile, Principal Pang Ban, who was tracking them in the shadows, was trembling with rage upon hearing these words.

"Competitors?"

"Pretend! Keep pretending!"

"Are they covering for each other? Are they intentionally putting on a show for me?"

"It seems even this gang has an uneven distribution of loot!"

Principal Pang Ban gritted his teeth and continued to follow.

...

Soon, the trio stumbled their way to the back garden of the Principal's office building.

The environment here was quiet, and there was even a rockery.

The three of them slowly realized what place this was and became a bit more cautious.

Tian Peng signaled for the others to lighten their footsteps and lowered his voice: "This should be the Principal's territory, everyone be sharp! That old turtle... oh no, the spirit beast turtle, is said to be around here."

"If we can get our hands on it, those points will definitely be enough for us to get promoted!"

Tian Yan hurriedly raised his binoculars to scan the area, the lenses reflecting a faint light under the moonlight: "Big Brother, I don't see the Principal's turtle."

Tian Shou looked around and pointed at the empty rockery pool, looking regretful:

"I guess that turtle went out today; who knows which bush it's hiding in!"

"Look, that's its previous turtle nest."

Since the three of them were facing away from Principal Pang, and Principal Pang, who was lying in the bushes at this moment, had completely turned red from anger upon hearing these people's words.

Especially when Tian Shou pointed at the rockery; from Principal Pang's perspective, this guy was pointing at his own house.

Tian Peng waved his hand and made a grand declaration:

"What are you afraid of!"

"We'll just wait here for it to return!"

"Where can an old turtle go? It's probably just wandering around here."

"When that old turtle of a Principal returns, we'll pry its turtle shell right off!"

"Hahahaha!"

Tian Peng put his hands on his hips and laughed until the fat on his belly shook. That laughter sounded exceptionally jarring in the quiet back garden.

He became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, pointing contemptuously in the direction of the rockery:

"Brothers! Put your hearts at ease!"

"This Magic City Martial Arts University is only famous in name; in reality, it's full of straw bags! We've been wandering around inside for half a day, and we haven't even seen a ghost!"

"As for that old turtle? Hmph! Even if it comes back, so what?"

Tian Peng looked disdainful and even made a "throat-slitting" gesture:

"I heard that thing is slow to react, stupid and clumsy! When the time comes, the three of us will join forces; I don't believe we can't hold it down!"

"I just don't know if that old turtle understands human nature. If it doesn't listen, we'll just hack it to pieces! We'll set up a pot and boil water right here! We'll stew that old turtle into a nourishing soup!"

Beside him, Tian Shou joined in the commotion, pulling out a bag of unfinished pickled vegetables from his arms and chuckling:

"Big Brother is wise!"

"It just so happens I have some pickled vegetables left; when we put them in the soup later, that will be top-tier deliciousness!"

"Eat its meat, drink its blood, and then use its shell as a urinal! Let it know the power of our Wusheng Divine Sect!"

Tian Yan pushed up his glasses and delivered the final blow:

"Right! After we eat it all and wipe the bowl clean, we'll leave a message on the wall that says—Old Turtle, you are too weak, the taste was average!"

"Piss it off! Hahahaha!"

The trio became more and more excited as they spoke, as if they had already seen the "old turtle" struggling in the pot.

However, they did not notice.

Just in the bushes less than five meters behind them, the air had begun to distort due to extreme heat.

Principal Pang Ban, who had been lying there all along, had turned purple-red at this very moment.

His hair stood on end without any wind.

The brick in his hand had been crushed into powder by him, falling silently from between his fingers.

The string known as "reason" had completely vanished.

"Too damn arrogant!!!"

A roar that shook the soul erupted in Principal Pang Ban's heart.

"Calling me an old turtle?"

"Asking if I understand human nature?"

"Want to stew me into soup?"

"What kind of grudge is this? What kind of humiliation is this!"

"I, a dignified Tier 5 Grandmaster, the Principal of Magic City Martial Arts University, are you lowly scum actually insulting me like this?"

BOOM—!!!

At this moment, Principal Pang Ban could no longer suppress the prehistoric power within his body.

A terrifying, substantial aura of killing intent instantly swept across the entire back garden!

The originally calm night suddenly erupted with a violent wind!

"Who turned on the electric fan?"

The trio, who were laughing wildly, stopped abruptly, like chickens whose necks had been strangled.

They turned around in terror.

They saw that in the darkness behind them, two eyes like red lanterns were staring fixedly at them.

Immediately after, a gloomy and terrifying voice, as if from the nine hells, exploded in their ears:

"Do you think I understand human nature?"

"Think I'm slow to react, huh?"

"Come! Let this old man see just how hard your bones are!!!"

"Mommy! A ghost!!!"

Tian Peng was so scared that all his fat tightened, and he turned to run.

But, it was too late.

A Tier 5 Grandmaster attacking in anger—how thunderous was that?

There were no fancy moves.

No unnecessary nonsense.

Principal Pang Ban snorted coldly, his five fingers forming a claw, and grabbed at the three of them in the void.

"Come... here!"

Hum!

An invisible suction force erupted.

Tian Peng, Tian Shou, and Tian Yan, who were just about to turn and run, were instantly sucked over by this terrifying internal energy!
