Nangong Lingyun's last words caused a sudden change in everyone's expression.
Tang San, who was originally on Dai Mubai's side,
was just now resenting and questioning how Nangong Lingyun could be so disrespectful to his Teacher, so foolish as to provoke a Spirit Saint-level Dean, causing himself to be implicated and deserving of death, etc.
Upon hearing this, he instantly felt as if stung by a scorpion, and retreated several steps in horror.
He had heard those words before,
but at that time, he thought about how powerful and talented the fourteen Spirit Masters who survived would become after being selected from the best and having endured hardship, and that he should become such a strong person.
He did not realize how miserable the forty-eight people who died were, and how much bad luck they had.
Now, after slightly imagining it, instantly, all the hairs on his body stood on end, and his back felt icy cold.
Forty-eight out of sixty-two, 77.4%, nearly 80% of Spirit Masters who were as talented as him were killed alive.
Heavens, the Evil and cruelty of this academy have simply reached an unspeakable level.
What if he joined in a daze...…
Tang San's face was full of fear.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar's expressions were no less so.
Although the past few years of getting along made the two of them hesitate about Nangong Lingyun's statement,
no matter what, the Dean and the others usually looked very approachable, and their faces were not ferocious.
However, the fact that so many geniuses died in Shrek was undeniable. As internal students, they were very clear about this.
Sometimes, they even gloated, after all, they had successfully survived such a harsh elimination, which could be regarded as a bragging right.
Even Zhao Wuji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to mention this matter, and to interpret Shrek's most proud teaching philosophy in this way.
Only Dai Mubai, perhaps because he was grateful for being taken in,
said with a face full of doubt:
"That's not quite right, is it? I heard from the previous senior students
that the fourteen students who graduated from Shrek, after leaving the academy, all became top-notch existences that attracted worldwide attention.
Among them, the most outstanding one is now even an Elder of Spirit Hall, whose authority is second only to the Supreme Pontiff."
Nangong Lingyun had a faint smile on his face.
Having been a doujinshi author and a sadist at that, he knew Shrek's many dark spots like the back of his hand.
Even in the subsequent works, after becoming the well-deserved number one academy on the continent, their habit of killing their own disciples has not changed.
Almost every time they hunted Spirit Beasts, a group of students had to die first, and they watched you die, regardless of how talented you were, they treated everyone the same and killed you without exception.
Even the elite team selected to participate in the Pan-continental Soul Master Grand Competition could be sent away, and in the end, they were forced to let the substitutes play.
He immediately asked disdainfully:
"Since they are world-renowned and famous, then please tell me, who exactly are they?
Don't tell me they are so famous that you can't even say their names?
Also, please do some research before bragging next time.
Shrek Academy was founded twenty years ago. According to your enrollment standards, even the first batch of students would be at most thirty-two years old this year.
However, Spirit Hall requires Elders to have spirit power of level 90. How come I don't know that such a young Titled Douluo has appeared on the continent?
Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu, the two mountains of the Spirit Master's world back then, and the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall, were already thirty-five to thirty-eight years old when they achieved Title Douluo.
A Title Douluo at the age of thirty-two, if such a monstrous genius really existed, I'm afraid it would have caused a sensation throughout the entire continent, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the air instantly became terrifyingly quiet, and even a needle could be heard falling.
Everyone in Shrek Academy fell silent all of a sudden.
Although they didn't say much just now, the silence at this moment didn't just mean that they stopped speaking, but that they were already speechless.
Flender's face was ferocious, and his sharp eyes looked like he was going to kill someone, but for a long time, he couldn't say a word.
Not only did the anger on Zhao Wuji's face dissipate, but the whole person seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, becoming listless.
After a full ten seconds, the Four-Eyed Owl-Eagle forced himself to defend:
"How can hunting Spirit Beasts not result in deaths?
Since they died, it proves that they are not geniuses or strong people,
and truly powerful people should be able to stand out and go against the current even in adversity.
Using a harsh environment to temper the students' minds and allow them to obtain a tenacious heart,
so that they can remain calm in the face of adversity and never change their aspirations despite thousands of hardships, so that they may achieve greater achievements in the future.
This is Shrek's unique teaching philosophy.
A playboy like you cannot understand our good intentions."
"Haha, awesome, hahaha, simply too awesome, hahahahahaha… …
"Pa pa, pa pa pa, pa pa pa pa pa pa… …
Nangong Lingyun laughed, his laughter was extremely unrestrained, and he couldn't even straighten his back.
He clapped his hands vigorously, not concealing his mockery of these words.
At a certain moment, the laughter suddenly stopped abruptly, and he said in a cold voice:
"To sophistically explain the killing of commoner geniuses as tempering their minds,
after living for so long, this is the first time I have heard such a fresh and refined explanation.
The shamelessness of Tianxia is shared by all, and you alone can account for eight parts of it.
So many students of Shrek have died, but it seems that the Teacher has never died, right?
Every day, you brainwash the students that those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre, and encourage fighting.
Why don't you temper yourself well?
Why not go to the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest to challenge a few hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, or try to assassinate the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall?
As long as you survive, the tempering effect will definitely be great, and if you die, you can only blame yourself for being too useless.
Also, you actually say that I am a playboy?
Flender, with your kind of rubbish who engages in shameless activities, you are not qualified to evaluate me."
Like a thunderclap from a clear sky,
Nangong Lingyun's merciless scolding caused the faces of everyone else present, except for Xiao Wu, to become extremely shocked as they looked at him.
Tang San even silently moved away, not daring to stay beside him anymore.
Even if Shrek Academy is unbearable, the Dean is still a powerful Spirit Saint,
how could he not be afraid of the other party becoming angry out of humiliation by insulting a Spirit Saint so openly?
Sure enough, in the next instant, Flender's face turned red-hot again, and he said angrily:
"Today, I will have to educate you properly on behalf of your Father, on how to respect the strong."
With a flash of wings behind him, gusts of whirlwind rose, and he had already appeared in front of Nangong Lingyun.
Raising his palm, he was about to slap him hard on the face.
However, at this moment, the corner of Nangong Lingyun's mouth curved into a faint smile of disdain.
He wasn't stupid, how could he provoke an opponent without being sure of winning,
it's a pity that there are people who can make him fear, but they are definitely not mere Spirit Saints.
Nangong Lingyun didn't even summon his Spirit, only a layer of golden Light flashed on his right arm,
in the nick of Time, his palm had already grabbed Flender's outstretched claws, and he swung him up and threw him down hard.
The Four-Eyed Owl-Eagle, who had become much taller because of Spirit Encasement, was directly smashed to the ground.
Once was not enough, and then came several more times,
with the sounds of bang bang bang, the surrounding soil and rocks splashed, and the earth cracked.
This scene was like Loki facing the Hulk back then, with almost no difference.
