My martial spirit leads me to Earth; I begin by submitting my skills to the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 61 That's it? That's it?

Su Yun did not respond.

He simply watched the principal's performance quietly, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Seeing that Su Yun remained silent, the principal assumed that he was intimidated by his aura, so he pressed his advantage and revealed his true intentions.

"Su Yun, I know everything that just happened."

The principal stood up, walked around the desk, and stood in front of Su Yun.

"I heard you demonstrated a powerful ancient soul tool in class?"

"Furthermore, I heard that you also run a Nezha burger shop off-campus, and it's doing very well, making a fortune every day?"

Su Yun raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded calmly: "You're quite well-informed. And then?"

"That's the problem!"

The principal slapped his thigh suddenly, looking very worried.

"Su Yun, you're only six years old! You're still a child!"

"That soul tool is incredibly powerful. If it falls into the hands of someone with malicious intent, or if you accidentally injure a classmate while using it, it would be a catastrophe!"

"And that burger joint, your main task right now is to study and cultivate yourself! Getting involved in business too early and becoming obsessed with money will ruin your talent and waste your studies!"

With all the groundwork laid, the principal finally revealed his true colors.

He placed his hand on Su Yun's shoulder and squeezed it firmly, his eyes full of affection.

"Therefore, after an emergency meeting of the Board of Directors, it was decided that—"

"To protect your safety, that soul tool must be handed over to the academy immediately, and I will personally keep it for you. I will return it to you after you graduate and are able to protect yourself."

"As for that burger joint—"

The principal licked his slightly chapped lips, the gleam in his eyes almost impossible to conceal.

"To prevent you from getting distracted, the operation of the store and all its profits will be temporarily managed by the academy. We will send professional teachers to help you manage it, and all the profits—cough cough—we will save them for you, or use them as your education fund."

"Su Yun, you have to understand your teacher's good intentions. This is all for your own good."

In his view, this excuse of keeping it for you was impeccable.

What can a student with no connections do now but obediently nod in agreement?

Once you've got the item, when to return it is a matter for the next life.

The office was quiet.

Su Yun lowered her head, looked at the wrinkles the principal had left on her shoulder, and gently brushed them off.

Then, he looked up and smiled.

That's the kind of pure, undisguised snicker that comes when you hear the funniest joke in the world.

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

Su Yun shook her head, her laughter growing louder and louder until she even took off her sunglasses and wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from laughing.

"What are you laughing at?!"

The principal felt uneasy at Su Yun's laughter and instantly became furious.

Su Yun stopped laughing and put her sunglasses back on.

He took a step forward and looked directly into the principal's eyes.

"Principal, I originally thought that you, who could sit in this position, must at least be a respectable hypocrite."

"I didn't expect you to be so lazy as to not even bother with a full pretense."

Su Yun's voice was calm, yet every word was like a knife.

"Keep my soul tools safe? Manage my shop for me?"

"Your scheme is so cunning, it's like the beads are hitting me in the face. You just want to turn my things into your own property and use my money to satisfy your greed, don't you?"

"To be honest, I'm not angry."

Su Yun shrugged, her tone relaxed.

"I just think—you're quite pitiful."

"You went to all that trouble, leaving me standing at the door for half an hour, putting on such a clumsy show, just for this little bit?"

"I thought you had some grand, earth-shattering plan in Bush, but this is all? This is all?"

"What's the difference between you and those stray dogs on the street who fight tooth and nail over a couple of bones?"

"For such a paltry gain, you're willing to tear off your mask of shame and trample it on the ground—Headmaster, isn't your dignity being sold a little too cheaply?"

"presumptuous!!"

The principal, whose thoughts had been exposed, completely broke down.

He slammed his hand on the table, and the soul power fluctuations of a level 42 Soul Master instantly erupted, sending documents flying everywhere in the office.

"Su Yun! What kind of attitude is this?!"

"I am the principal! In this academy, my word is law! You dare to refuse? Believe me, I'll expel you right now and make sure you can never hold your head up high in the world of Soul Masters again!!"

Despite the overwhelming pressure of the soul force, Su Yun remained completely unmoved.

He didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Expulsion?"

Su Yun uttered those two words softly, a contemptuous smile curving his lips.

He turned around, refusing to look at the clown again, and walked straight towards the door.

"You don't need to fire me."

Su Yun walked to the door, placed her hand on the doorknob, and paused slightly.

He turned his head slightly to the side, giving the principal a glimpse of his profile.

"Want what's mine? You think you're worthy?"

The cold voice echoed in the office, each word like a slap in the principal's face.

"A small temple has a lot of evil spirits, and shallow water has a lot of turtles. This saying may be harsh, but it is not unjustly applied to Notting College now."

"If I stay in this little mud puddle for too long, I'm afraid I'll get covered in a fishy smell that I can't wash off."

"This lousy school, I'm not going anymore."

"Click".

The door lock turned.

Su Yun pushed open the door and strode out, leaving only her back view of the furious principal inside.

Stepping out of the main administrative building, the sunlight streamed down, somewhat dazzling, yet bringing Su Yun a long-lost sense of comfort.

He stood on the high steps and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Su Yun put her hands in her pockets, preparing to step down the steps.

"Su Yun!!!"

An angry roar came from the balcony behind.

The principal, who had just been thoroughly humiliated by Su Yun, was now gripping the railing tightly, looking down at Su Yun and hysterically shouting, "Stop right there!!"

"You think you'll be free just by walking out this door? How naive! How foolish!"

"I'm telling you! If I issue an expulsion order right now and add your name to the blacklist of the Soul Master world—"

"This stain will be recorded in your file! It will stay with you for life! You can't wash it away!!"

"Believe it or not, apart from Notting Academy, no other junior academy on the entire continent would dare to accept you!!"

"Without my letter of recommendation, you won't even get close to the intermediate academy! You'll be a shameful, unsung hero for the rest of your life!!"

The students who were waiting for Su Yun in the square changed their expressions upon hearing these words, their eyes filled with worry.

In this continent where background and experience are highly valued, being expelled from the academy and personally blacklisted by the principal is tantamount to a death sentence for a newcomer just entering the world of Soul Masters.
