The Most Important Lesson

Flender's eyes lit up. With Su Xiao's strength, he could definitely lead the team to victory against a Soul Ancestor team.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly said, "A Xiao doesn't need to compete. Have Meng Yiran replace Xiao San and form a new seven-person team."

Flender did not understand, but what Yu Xiaogang said next completely made him feel that the man had gone mad.

"Are there any Bloodthirsty Teams here? We want to choose one as our opponent," Yu Xiaogang asked.

Flender was about to object, but Yu Xiaogang raised a hand to signal him not to speak.

"The more brutal, the better," he added.

The registration staff searched through the team roster and finally found a suitable team after a moment. When he saw their record, even he felt a chill in his heart.

"The Ferocious God Team... Are you sure you want to fight them?" the staff member stammered. "They're a Silver Soul Fighter team at the Soul Ancestor level."

"Please tell us their detailed record," Su Xiao suddenly asked.

"What are you doing here?" Flender demanded.

Su Xiao scratched his head. "I heard Teacher Zhao calling me just now, so I came over."

"The Ferocious God Team has casualties in every single soul fight. So far, they have caused thirty-six deaths and crippled ninety-eight people."

After hearing this, Flender rebuked him, "How can such a cruel team be allowed to participate in soul fighting matches? Xiaogang, are you sure..."

Clearly, Flender understood Yu Xiaogang's intention.

There would be bloodshed.

Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Good. We'll challenge the Ferocious God Team."

Zhao Wuji and the other teachers were still somewhat worried.

"This is a form of training. They'll have to go through it sooner or later." Flender looked at Su Xiao's radiant smile.

"If these little monsters are to become the finest soul masters, they cannot abandon their kind nature. Let this be their final special training."

An hour later, the soul fight began, with Meng Yiran taking Tang San's place.

The moment the host announced the start of the soul fight, the Ferocious God Team roared and charged at the seven Shrek members, as though they intended to tear them apart.

At that moment, the seven of them drew their Godly Zhuge Crossbows in perfect unison and pulled the triggers simultaneously. Nearly a hundred bolts shot forth, instantly piercing through the Ferocious God Team's bodies.

The bolts, stained with blood, embedded themselves in the arena walls. Their power was self-evident—after all, Tang San had used the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to kill a Man Faced Demon Spider.

The Ferocious God Team was riddled with bloody holes. One after another, they crashed to the ground, utterly wiped out.

After Shrek left the arena, the girls looked pale, and all of them showed signs of vomiting.

Oscar could not stop trembling. Dai Mubai remained calm, while Ma Hongjun clutched his head and squatted on the ground, blaming himself over and over.

"W-we... killed people..."

Yu Xiaogang brought Su Xiao and Tang San before the others and said coldly, "Now you know what it feels like to kill someone."

"Douluo Continent is a world where the strong prey on the weak. The moment soul masters face their enemies, there is no sympathy! There is even less mercy!"

The others could hardly believe that Master Yu Xiaogang could say such things. They even began to question why they had become soul masters in the first place.

Oscar was the first to speak. "If that's the case, I'd rather not be a soul master!"

Dai Mubai followed immediately. "This world may indeed revere strength above all else, but people still need a conscience!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"Since that's how you feel... then I'm relieved," Yu Xiaogang said.

"This world is cruel, but I hope you can become soul masters with a sense of justice, who respect life—whether your own or that of others," Yu Xiaogang said slowly.

The others came to their senses and realized that this was the most important lesson Yu Xiaogang had taught them.
