After the Canghui Academy students retreated, Yun Chuan gazed at the three fallen figures—Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun—and said slowly, "I've been watching your conflict from beginning to end."
"Huh? Then why didn't you intervene sooner, Teacher?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction.
Hearing that Teacher Tang had been secretly observing them all along, watching them get beaten, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others exchanged uneasy glances.
"What? Are you resenting me for not intervening earlier?" Yun Chuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the three bruised and battered figures. "Do you know why I didn't step in?"
"Why?" Ma Hongjun, still simmering with anger, couldn't help but ask.
"Because your arrogance was unbearable. Even I felt you deserved a beating. I thought it necessary for you to endure a thorough thrashing to learn the value of humility." As he spoke, Yun Chuan extended his hand, summoning a Blue Silver Grass. With a casual flick of his wrist, crimson sparks rained down, landing on the frozen bodies sprawled across the ground.
*Sizzle!*
Steam rose from their bodies as their stiff limbs regained flexibility. Soon, one by one, they stood up again. Despite how badly they seemed to have been beaten, their Soul Master physiques meant these injuries were merely superficial. The students, wary of Tang San and his group's connections, hadn't dared to inflict serious harm. Thus, Yun Chuan had no intention of healing them, wanting them to bear these superficial wounds as a lesson.
"But Dean Flender always said, 'A Soul Master who avoids trouble isn't worth his salt.' As the saying goes, 'Those who fear conflict are mediocre.' We were just following the Dean's teachings," Ma Hongjun protested, brushing off the dirt as he stood.
"Avoiding trouble is mediocrity, but seeking it out is idiocy! What you did wasn't 'stirring up trouble'—it was begging for a beating!" Yun Chuan retorted, exasperated. "Dean Flender's words meant you shouldn't fear combat! When faced with strong enemies or difficult situations, you should dare to act and strike when necessary.
"His words weren't an excuse for you to provoke others for no reason and act recklessly like you did just now. What's the difference between you and those thugs who abuse their power and act with impunity?"
Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai had clearly started the trouble, yet they still believed they were in the right. They treated such behavior as perfectly natural, even considering themselves righteous. Yun Chuan finally understood: the later Tang San's blatant hypocrisy and despicable actions were likely rooted in Shrek Academy's flawed education. Or perhaps the Douluo Continent itself was a fundamentally deformed society?
Yun Chuan's righteous rebuke successfully silenced Ma Hongjun. Even Dai Mubai was left speechless, while Tang San sank into deep contemplation, beginning to reflect on his own actions...
Nearby, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar nodded unconsciously at Yun Chuan's words. They had felt uneasy when Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai provoked Canghui Academy earlier, but as teammates, they hesitated to speak out. Xiao Wu, however, clearly hadn't absorbed his message, her face still flushed with anger.
Yun Chuan sighed inwardly. *As expected, a soul beast is still a soul beast. No matter how adorable its appearance or how human-like its behavior, its true nature remains unchanged! And to make matters worse, she's been spoiled rotten by Tang San, who has his own psychological issues.*
"All of you, go back and reflect on your actions!" Yun Chuan barked, leveraging his authority as their teacher. "And you, Oscar! No healing them with sausages! Let these three boys bear their injuries as a lesson they won't forget!"
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun hung their heads, too ashamed to argue. With slumped shoulders and dejected expressions, they trailed behind Yun Chuan and the others back to the hotel.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Yun Chuan began fulfilling his duties as a teacher by kicking down doors to rouse everyone.
For someone like Tang San, who habitually rose early and maintained a disciplined routine, this was no problem. But for the others, especially the sleep-loving Oscar, it was sheer torture. By breakfast, most of them were still half-asleep.
The sun slowly rose in the east, gradually expanding the pale, fish-belly white glow until the sky brightened.
Though Tang San witnessed this spectacle daily, the awe-inspiring sensation of light piercing through darkness never failed to stir his soul.
The sun's rays pierced through the darkness, heralding the arrival of a new day.
The group left the small town and quickened their pace. They were now very close to the Star Dou Great Forest, and everyone pressed on with all their might. Oscar, who was about to obtain his third Soul Ring, was naturally the most excited. He couldn't wait to discover what enhancements his third Soul Ring would bring.
He knew that even without him reminding Teacher Tang, the group would undoubtedly hunt down at least one relatively weak thousand-year soul beast for him.
The Star Dou Great Forest lay directly south of the Heaven Dou Empire, spanning across the borders of both empires. Due to the abundance of soul beasts within, this region marked the most ambiguous part of the two nations' border.
According to maps, the majority of the Star Dou Great Forest fell within the territory of the Star Luo Empire, though the Heaven Dou Empire had never acknowledged this claim. As one of the three major wild soul beast habitats, this place was naturally a Soul Master's most coveted destination, for every visit here meant they were on the verge of advancement.
No one knew exactly how long the Star Dou Great Forest had existed on the Douluo Continent, but upon entering its depths, the dense, sky-obscuring foliage spoke volumes of its ancient origins.
From afar, everyone faintly sensed waves of refreshing air blowing toward them, its plant-like fragrance permeating their senses with an indescribable comfort.
Taking a deep breath of the crisp air, Yun Chuan felt every one of his thirty-six thousand pores seem to open, an indescribably invigorating sensation.
Yun Chuan strained his eyes, his excellent vision allowing him to see a vast green ocean stretching before him. The boundless expanse of green was breathtaking, and the refreshing air originated from this verdant expanse.
Finally, the group arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest. Towering trees, at least twenty meters tall, formed the outermost perimeter. The dense forest lacked any discernible paths, its heavy shadows obscuring the true depths within.
As they approached the forest, the air became even more invigorating, as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.
The refreshing sensation, carrying the earthy aroma of damp soil, constantly stimulated their senses. Yun Chuan, whose martial soul was the Plant Sovereign—the Goddess of Life—felt as if he had returned home. This was a world ruled by plants, his domain!
No one could kill him within this forest!
