"You ask if my conscience is clear? Back then, you only saw me as a whetstone…"
"Even if that's true, so what?"
"Xiao San's talent is better than yours. His future achievements will be high, not low. Even if your innate soul power was level eight, you have no qualification to be compared with innate full soul power Xiao San. Using you as an experiment subject is your honor. In the future, when Xiao San becomes a Fenghao Douluo, you'll also bask in his glory!"
Pa! Pa!
The sound in the recording stone ended abruptly there, with two crisp slaps at the end.
"One, two…"
"Two hits in total. That Yu Xiaogang clearly complained first, and that last slap must have been from some passerby who couldn't listen anymore."
Zhou Sidong put the evidence away and placed it back into his soul-guidance wrist ring. He looked at the furious crowd before him. As expected, aside from Yu Tianheng, who looked shocked, everyone else appeared offended and indignant.
They cracked their knuckles one after another, all ready to speak up for Zhou Sidong.
"I can't believe people like this exist! Sidong, you slapped him too little—you should've given him two more!"
"When I get back I'll tell my grandfather and have him kill Yu Xiaogang to vent your anger. That kind of trash doesn't deserve to live. And he even complained first—where's his face?!"
Dugu Yan's words made Yu Tianheng feel utterly humiliated.
He knew she wasn't speaking casually. Zhou Sidong had an excellent relationship with Dugu Bo, and he was even her grandfather's lifesaver.
That meant… his uncle was in danger.
Yu Tianheng fell silent. His uncle was his grandfather's own son, someone his grandfather often mentioned over the years.
He never imagined that after so many years, his uncle had fallen this far. It chilled him.
"Teacher Qin, now you know why I hit him, right?"
Zhou Sidong said righteously, "Yu Xiaogang complained first. I now have evidence. Even if we confront him face-to-face, I won't fear him.Now tell me—was I wrong?"
Qin Ming sighed after a long silence. "I was wrong. Sorry, Sidong. I shouldn't have questioned you rashly before knowing the cause and effect. My attitude was bad just now. I hope you don't mind."
Seeing Qin Ming act this way, Zhou Sidong didn't pursue it.
Just then, Oslo suddenly asked, "Teacher Qin, why are you so concerned about the Shrek Seven Devils?"
"Yeah, ever since you came to Soto City, I've felt like you were acting strange," Dugu Yan added.
"Me too." Ye Lingling rarely spoke, but chimed in as well.
All eyes fell on Qin Ming. Seeing this, he smiled and shook his head. "Forget it. At this point, I might as well tell you. To be frank, the Shrek Seven Devils are from Shrek Academy. And I… am a graduate of Shrek Academy."
Hearing this, the Royal Fighting Team finally understood.
No wonder he got irritated when seeing Flander's public notice back when they enrolled.
"That Yu Xiaogang is simply not a decent person! Sending his students into a death-match arena just to avenge his disciple Tang San."
Dugu Yan looked at Qin Ming. "Teacher Qin, Sidong is a member of our Heaven Dou Royal Academy. And Yu Xiaogang dares bully us this far? If we don't respond, won't the Shrek Seven Devils laugh at us?"
"Exactly! We can't sit and wait!"
"We must make Yu Xiaogang pay!"
"Don't you agree, Tianheng?"
Dugu Yan nudged Yu Tianheng.
"Ah?! Y-yeah, yeah, Yanzi is right!"
Yu Tianheng forced a smile. He absolutely couldn't say Yu Xiaogang used to be part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. That would only shame them further.
Qin Ming seemed to be considering something…
But at that moment, an unwelcome visitor shattered the mood.
Tang San barged in, eyes blazing with fury.
His gaze locked onto Zhou Sidong, and he immediately launched an attack.
Blue Silver Grass burst forth, thick vines sweeping in from all directions.
Qin Ming frowned. His six soul rings lit up as scorching flames erupted from his hands. The instant the Blue Silver Grass touched the flames, it was burned to ash.
At the same time, the Royal Fighting Team immediately restrained Tang San, trapping him without any room to move.
But Tang San still glared, face contorted with rage.
"Zhou Sidong! Why did you strike my teacher?! What did my teacher ever do to you?! How dare you treat him like this?!"
Zhou Sidong looked relaxed.
"I didn't like his face, so I hit him."
That casual sentence completely broke Tang San.
Ignoring the people around him, his right hand turned jade-like. With a flick of his Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, a bundle of silver needles appeared.
Just as he was about to strike with hidden weapons, Zhou Sidong flashed forward, snatched the needles away, and pinned Tang San to the ground with one hand.
"Zhou Sidong, let me go! You humiliated my teacher—I'll kill you!"
Tang San shouted wildly, killing intent blazing in his eyes.
When he heard that Zhou Sidong slapped Yu Xiaogang three times last night, Tang San's rage ignited instantly. Despite Flander's attempts to stop him, he rushed here to kill Zhou Sidong and avenge Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao San! Get back here now!"
A tattered Flander rushed in, his right hand bandaged, face covered with medicine patches—courtesy of Yueguan and Guimei beating him senseless the night before. The fact he could still walk meant he was one resilient cockroach.
"Sorry, Xiao Ming. I've caused you trouble. I'll take Xiao San back immediately."
He came straight to Qin Ming and apologized.
Qin Ming shook his head. "Dean Flander, good thing you arrived in time. This is Master's disciple Tang San, right?"
"Yes, that's him."
Flander's face burned with embarrassment. Before returning, he warned Yu Xiaogang not to tell Tang San about the slaps.
He himself had already been dragged into an alley and beaten up last night. That alone told him—Zhou Sidong's background was not simple.
Unfortunately, Flander had barely left…Yu Xiaogang immediately ran to Tang San sobbing, telling him he was slapped three times.
He just wanted Tang Hao to step in—classic "borrow the knife to kill."
Tang San froze when he heard Zhou Sidong was in Soto City, but after seeing those three bright red handprints on his teacher's face, his rage exploded.
Even with Flander stopping him, he still came to kill.
Zhou Sidong really had a death wish!
"Sorry, Xiao Ming. I'll take Xiao San away now."
As Flander went forward, he suddenly noticed Tang San pinned to the floor and helpless. He froze when he saw who held him down.
That familiar face—
Flander's expression shifted from blank… to furious in one second.
"It's you! So it was you! Why did you do this?! What did I ever do to you?!"
Qin Ming was stunned and quickly grabbed Flander to stop him from charging.
"Dean Flander, what now?!"
Qin Ming was sweating. First Yu Xiaogang, then Tang San, now Flander—Shrek Academy seemed cursed.
Someone please explain!
Zhou Sidong removed Tang San's soul-guidance belt, took off his silent sleeve arrow, and searched him thoroughly. A mountain of hidden weapons piled up.
"This… this is insane." Oslo's mouth twitched.
Tang San was like a hedgehog. Hidden weapons were his quills—touch the wrong spot and you'd get stabbed.
Zhou Sidong put on gloves and signaled Yu Tianheng and Shi Mo to lift Tang San.
He even found another hidden weapon in Tang San's mouth.
At this point, Zhou Sidong was numb.
He knew Tang San was a master of hidden weapons—if Douluo Continent had advanced technology, Tang San would probably turn himself into a cyborg.
"Zhou Sidong, you've gone too far! Back at Nuoding Elementary Soul Master Academy, I should've killed you first!"
Tang San glared, killing intent burning like dry wood meeting a raging fire.
Zhou Sidong snorted, then slapped him without mercy. In his eyes, Tang San was a simple-minded fool—Yu Xiaogang whispered something and he ran over to die. No different from a dumb rabbit.
Maybe staying near rabbits lowered his IQ.
Tang San bled from the lip, but his eyes never left Zhou Sidong. The burning slap mark only fueled his rage.
Zhou Sidong turned toward the furious Flander.
"Teacher Qin, there's something I've kept from you."
Qin Ming's heart skipped. He looked at Zhou Sidong strangely.
Given Zhou Sidong's history—beating Yu Xiaogang—and now Flander's current rage, Qin Ming braced himself for the worst.
"Say it. I'm ready."
Zhou Sidong took a deep breath.
"Actually… I was the one who reported Flander's shop."
That simple sentence sent Flander into a frenzy.
If Qin Ming hadn't held him back, he would've fought to the death.
"…"
Qin Ming's pupils shrank. Shock flooded his face.
"You… what did you say? Dean Flander's shop… was reported by YOU?!"
He struggled to hold back his anger. "Why did you do that?!"
There must be a reason. Yu Xiaogang had already had one.
"Why?"
Zhou Sidong stared at Flander. "Ask this profiteer what he did. A crystal went from 100 gold soul coins to 200. What, does he think money grows on trees? Gouging prices and disrupting the market—I have every right to report your shop. Why shouldn't I?"
Flander trembled with rage. He slapped Qin Ming aside and pointed at Zhou Sidong.
"Kid! That was MY shop! What I sell and for how much—what's it to you?! I've been suffering for THREE MONTHS because of that ten-thousand-gold-coin fine! You caused all of it!"
Zhou Sidong sneered. "Serves you right. Using the Wuhun Hall's name to scam people, claiming a Shrek graduate became an elder of the Wuhun Hall.Teacher Qin, think—does Wuhun Hall have any elders from Shrek Academy?"
Qin Ming froze.
Flander desperately signaled him to help, but Qin Ming backed off. He wasn't getting involved.
"And 'youngest elder'? Whoever made that lie must be a real piece of—"
Zhou Sidong let the insults fly.
Flander's face darkened. Killing intent flickered in his eyes.
He was absolutely in the wrong: price gouging, using Wuhun Hall's name, breaking rules. His punishment had been light.
If the actual Wuhun Hall elders found out, he'd die without a corpse left.
"Kid! Today I'll show you—not everyone is someone you can provoke!"
Flander's aura surged like a storm. As a Soul Sage, he was the strongest here.
Seeing Flander preparing to strike, Tang San—still restrained—was delighted. With the dean himself intervening, victory was assured.
"Dean! Zhou Sidong is my student. His punishment should be handled by me!"
Qin Ming blocked Flander.
"Xiao Ming! You used to be one of us. Now that you're with the Royal Fighting Team, are you turning your elbow outward? Shrek is in this state because of HIM! Today, no matter what you say, I WILL teach him a lesson!"
Flander shoved Qin Ming aside. Seven soul rings lit up, and black wings spread behind him.
But Zhou Sidong remained calm.
"Flander… remember last night?"
Flander froze.
His brows tightened. A trace of fear leaked from his eyes. "You… you were the one who sent people to kidnap me last night?"
Qin Ming nearly fainted.
Last night Flander was kidnapped and lost a finger. Qin Ming had been furious.
And now the culprit was—
No way!
"It wasn't me. It was the senior following behind me—Senior Dugu. He did it."
Zhou Sidong said calmly.
"Senior Dugu?"
Flander looked confused.
"It's my grandfather! You call yourself the dean of Shrek Academy but don't even know my grandfather—the infamous Poison Douluo!"
Dugu Yan stepped out proudly.
She hadn't expected her grandfather to follow them here, which meant… they had nothing to fear.
"Poison… Poison Douluo… Dugu Bo…"
Flander's legs went weak. His teeth chattered as terror consumed his face.
That murderous Poison Douluo—here in Soto City—and he kidnapped him last night?!
Flander lifted his right hand and looked at his missing fingertip. Losing only that was practically incredible luck. Surviving at all meant his ancestors blessed him.
"I… I was rash today. Sorry. Truly sorry. Xiao San, let's go."
His attitude flipped instantly. Poison Douluo stood behind the Royal Fighting Team—he wouldn't survive provoking him.
His anger evaporated; a flattering smile appeared instead.
Tang San was dumbfounded.
"Dean, shouldn't you teach Zhou Sidong a lesson? He hit Teacher!"
Flander forced a smile and cursed internally:
Xiaogang, you idiot! So what if he slapped you?! You didn't lose flesh. Why tell Tang San?! Don't you know family shame shouldn't be aired out? Now look—I almost died!
This Zhou Sidong is terrifying. Better not provoke him ever again.
Then he remembered the fine and his shuttered shop…
"Damn it! Life is more important!"
He put survival first. Money can be earned again—life can't.
"Wait."
Zhou Sidong spoke.
Flander froze, face stiff, squeezing out a smile. "W-what is it?"
"Don't you want to know why I hit Yu Xiaogang?"
Zhou Sidong looked at Tang San.
Tang San's eyes widened, anger returning instantly.
"You dare hit my teacher?! Zhou Sidong, you have a death wish!"
