Chapter 1480: Chapter 1480

Imperial University, as one of the top higher education institutions in the country, recruits outstanding students from all over the nation every year. Many of these students are disciples of martial arts families, martial arts sects, martial arts schools, and even hidden families.

These individuals possess significant power, and if left unchecked after entering Imperial University, they are likely to treat ordinary students unfairly and may even disrupt the harmony of the entire school.

Therefore, right from the establishment of Imperial University, a special department was created to manage these martial arts disciples, with a high-level martial master stationed at the discipline office to punish unruly martial artists.

Over time, this special department was preserved, and meanwhile, these martial artists at the school formed their own groups, much like a student union.

"Little Martial World" is one of the more well-known organizations, recruiting martial artists from various grades within the school. It has its own set of rules and codes of conduct, and anyone who offends those above will face punishment, serving as an organization that helps the school manage the martial artists.

"So that’s how it is. To put it bluntly, it’s like a part of the student union, right?"

Tang Ming stroked his chin and uncertainly looked at Li Hao.

"You could say that, except their influence at the school is very significant. After all, everyone is a martial artist, lacking neither money nor status, so they have a designated place at school, leased in the name of the student union."

Li Hao propped himself up and said through gritted teeth, "Actually, Imperial University isn’t as simple as outsiders think. Not only do martial artists have organizations, but business families and some official offspring also have their own organizations and circles.

It’s just that ordinary people can’t reach them. For example, the Red Cherry Blossom Association, which can almost control economic development trends, and the future political force, the little Tang Dynasty — you probably haven’t heard of them, right?"

The three of them, Tang Ming included, shook their heads blankly, not realizing how complicated the university was.

"We’ll talk about other things later. I absolutely won’t rest easy with these inexplicable troubles from Little Martial World."

Shao Wuyou bit his teeth and said spiritedly, "I vow not to be human if I don’t avenge this grudge."

"Brother, you’ve already stung Liu Xing with a scorpion. He’ll die from the poison in seven days. Do you think they’ll let you off?"

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Shao Wuyou speechlessly.

"Uh, he will definitely come to me for the antidote."

Shao Wuyou nodded repeatedly.

"Wait a minute! What did you do with such a poisonous scorpion?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Shao Wuyou in confusion.

Shao Wuyou was suddenly at a loss for words.

Li Hao also quickly lowered his head. They intended to deal with Tang Ming, but they couldn’t say that now.

"Wuyou, Little Martial World is full of experts, including high-level martial masters. This time you’ve injured Liu Xing, they definitely won’t let you off."

Li Hao propped up his body and looked at Shao Wuyou worriedly, "I suggest you hide or contact your family to settle this matter, otherwise..."

"What is there to be afraid of? I’m a student; they can’t kill me, right?"

Shao Wuyou disdainfully curled his lip and shouted from his chair, "I’ll wait for them here. Even if they’re from the Great Martial World, they have to show my brother respect."

"Ha, ha, who is your brother?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Shao Wuyou speechlessly.

"My brother is from the Dragon Group. Have you heard of the Dragon Group?"

Shao Wuyou lifted his head proudly, "I thought it was a minor dispute earlier and didn’t mention my brother’s name. Now that things have escalated, if they won’t let it go, I’ll have to ask my brother to step in."

"Dragon Group members."

Meng Xianjun and Tang Ming exchanged a glance and couldn’t help but see Shao Wuyou in a new light. No wonder this guy was so arrogant; apparently, he had a strong backing.

"Since you have such a strong backing, why should we passively defend?"

Tang Ming squinted and looked at Shao Wuyou teasingly, "Let’s go to Little Martial World’s base now and take the initiative."

"Hey, hey, hey, don’t act impulsively."

At these words, Shao Wuyou immediately backed down: "Although my brother is in the Dragon Group, he’s cultivating in the Dragon Group now and hasn’t returned. I can use his name to scare people, but Little Martial World seems strong. Liu Xing was at least a three-star martial master; we can’t provoke them."

"Damn, so all along you’ve been borrowing a tiger’s might!"

Meng Xianjun was speechless.

"Ahem, anyway, I’ve injured Liu Xing. If they don’t come for me, that kid will surely die."

Shao Wuyou laughed awkwardly and said seriously, "When they come to us, we’ll have the upper hand in negotiations. That’s beneficial for us."

"What’s so beneficial? When they come again, this enmity will deepen."

Tang Ming shook his head and said calmly, "Let’s just go over and deliver the antidote. Clarify any misunderstandings so we won’t become enemies; this is beneficial for us."

"I support Tang Ming’s opinion. Let’s get the antidote to them quickly, and this matter should be settled."

Meng Xianjun nodded repeatedly.

"Well, we don’t have the antidote."

Li Hao raised his hand weakly, "To get the antidote, we have to buy it from the Medical Immortal Workshop, which takes at least three days."

"No antidote? Why use such a poison then, to kill someone?"

Meng Xianjun widened his eyes, incredulously staring at Shao Wuyou.

"Ahem, just for fun, okay?"

Shao Wuyou glanced at Tang Ming and said guiltily.

"Forget it, what’s done is done. No point saying more; I can detoxify."

Tang Ming knew that Shao Wuyou used the scorpion to deal with him. He didn’t bother to say much, as the scorpion couldn’t hurt him anyway.

Besides, when he entered the room, Shao Wuyou had warned him about the scorpion, so he figured the intent wasn’t too bad.

"Li Hao, right? Do you know where Little Martial World’s base is?"

Tang Ming looked at Li Hao and said without doubt, "Take us there."

"Are we really going?"

Li Hao swallowed and glanced apprehensively at Shao Wuyou.

"Shouldn’t we plan this long-term? If they refuse to listen and want to fight, we’ll be in big trouble."

Shao Wuyou also looked fearful, unwilling to venture into danger.

"If you’re scared, I’ll go myself. Tell me where Little Martial World’s base is?"

Tang Ming snorted unhappily.

"I’ll go with you; we’re not cowards."

Meng Xianjun glanced at Shao Wuyou and said calmly.

"Who said I’m scared? Let’s go."

At these words, Shao Wuyou stood up quickly, unwilling to lose face.

"Let’s go. As long as they’re reasonable, it shouldn’t escalate."

Tang Ming smiled and turned to leave.

With Li Hao leading the way, Tang Ming and his group arrived near the teaching building of the school’s old campus.

The new campus is constantly being expanded, and some previous locations in the old campus either got converted into staff dormitories or leased out to various student groups.
