Don't Let Dragon Slayers Become Evil Dragons

"Alright, Xiao Wu, stop bullying people."

Zhou Qing shouted, stopping the other party from continuing to attack, "Don't hit Xiao Chenyu for no reason in the future."

"Then I'll hit you?"

Xiao Wu asked with a grin.

"Want to spar with me? No problem. You can also ask Tang San, or even Teacher Romantina..."

When it came to the suffix "-teacher" in Romantina, Zhou Qing found it a little difficult to say, but he still said it, "But when looking for other students in the academy, it's best to issue a challenge first and get their consent, otherwise we'll be no different from the Noble Student who bullied the work-study students back then."

It's best to avoid the situation where the dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself.

However, if the other party starts trouble for no reason, you can let it go and just fight back.

Tang San was taken aback.

The dragon slayer becomes the dragon?

It has a profound meaning.

Wang Sheng and the others didn't understand these things, but they knew that Zhou Qing's reasoning was correct. Even if the Noble Student often caused trouble and bullied them in the past, they, as work-study students, could not bully others like those Noble Student. Well, it was indeed quite satisfying to see the Noble Student being beaten.

Xiao Wu was also slightly taken aback, but then she realized what was happening and snorted, "Sister Xiao Wu, I'm not bullying the weak."

Xiao Chenyu's face, covered in bruises, was filled with gratitude towards Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing ignored them, glanced at the students who had gathered around, and said, "Today I'm going to set a rule here: from now on, if you want to fight, whether you have any grudges against each other or you just don't like each other, you should have a match here on the Nuoding Academy playground."

"But there is a premise, which is that you cannot cause trouble for no reason. That is, before the formal exchange begins, the challenger cannot deliberately provoke the challenged with overly offensive language such as insults, Taunt, or abuse, or force the challenged to accept the challenge through coercion or inducement."

"Is everything alright?"

The surrounding students had naturally witnessed the power of Zhou Qing's First Soul Skill when the Noble Student and work-study students challenged each other, and no one dared to disagree.

Moreover, Zhou Qing's words made a lot of sense, and things really couldn't continue like this. If they wanted to "spar," they had to challenge each other, and both sides had to be willing.

Although Zhou Qing knew that the so-called "voluntary" was certainly not perfect, it was definitely better than the current situation where "I am strong, so I can bully you".

Tang San also thought it was a good idea, but he also had some doubts. "Qing Ge, didn't you say that you couldn't help them forever?"

"Well, the logic is sound, but I've been caught in the rain before, and I want to hold an umbrella for someone. Even if it rains heavily and I still get wet, it's better than having nothing at all." Zhou Qing thought of a friend who was bullied in school in her previous life... Perhaps she shouldn't stand too high. "San'er."

"What's wrong?"

Tang San sensed the emotion in Zhou Qing's tone and was puzzled.

"Can I ask you for a favor?" Zhou Qing asked.

"What kind of help?"

Tang San wanted to say, "Who are we to each other? Just say what you need, and I will do my best."

but--

For some reason, he felt that what Zhou Qing was talking about was very important.

"In the future, if I forget where I came from, remind me," Zhou Qing said with a long sigh as he looked up at the azure sky.

"Huh?" Tang San was confused. "Where are you from?"

"I was born in Holy Soul Village," Zhou Qing said.

"Me too!"

Tang San seemed to understand something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only vaguely categorize it as a chivalrous act of "helping the weak and punishing the strong," and nodded vigorously.

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Wu asked, confused. "Does anyone forget where they came from? That's a really bad memory."

"There are quite a few people who forget things," Zhou Qing smiled.

Will you forget...?

Tang San, however, gained more insights. He recalled those poor scholars from his previous life who passed the imperial examinations and went into officialdom, but how many of them were able to return to their backward hometowns?

"And where are you from?" Zhou Qing asked Xiao Wu.

"I come from... I come from..." Xiao Wu wanted to say it was the Star Dou Great Forest, but that wasn't the right thing to say, and besides—

Is the Star Dou Great Forest really my home?

Although that core lake area holds all the memories of my mother, as well as those of Da Ming and Er Ming, the true owners there are Di Tian and the others. My mother, Da Ming, Er Ming, and I are merely temporary residents while they are away on errands.

[The territory of the Soft Bone Rabbit clan, where all Soft Bone Rabbit roam freely...]

[There's no home...]

Seeing that Xiao Wu was in low spirits, Zhou Qing didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "Alright! The rules are settled then. From now on, all sparring will take place in this square!"

"Alright, I'll be the referee from now on!" Xiao Wu stopped worrying about "where she came from," and shouted to the students, "Anyone who disagrees can try Sister Xiao Wu's fist first!"

"Sister Xiao Wu is awesome!"

"Zhou Qing is awesome!"

"Brother Tang Third Brother is awesome!"

On the playground, whether they were Noble Student, commoner students, or work-study students, they all the Scream for Xiao Wu, Zhou Qing, and Tang San!

"It's so lively!"

In the Academic Affairs Office, the teachers opened the window and saw the scene. They asked Mo Hen, "Mo Hen, aren't those three students from your class? They seem to be quite the leaders, managing to keep those aristocratic boys under their thumb."

"I didn't expect this either..." Mo Hen sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that when they went to the Nuoding Guild to post a quest, they would actually get involved with Romantina."

"I heard they all obtained century-level Soul Ring, is that true?" a teacher asked. "Could they really be disciples from some major sect?"

Who knows?

"It shouldn't be. It's impossible for disciples of major sects to really get along with commoners. Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to have been raised by nobles or sects since childhood."

"That's true. Nobles and disciples of sects naturally possess aristocratic manners in their every move. Take Xiao Chenyu, for example. Although he used to be arrogant and domineering, his posture and demeanor now exude the confidence of a rooster. Although those three little ones also walk with their backs straight, their temperament is completely different from Xiao Chenyu's. Zhou Qing is elegant and natural, Tang San is calm and easygoing, and Xiao Wu is lively and bold."

"Speaking of which, I don't really feel that Romantina is like a noblewoman. When she displays aristocratic etiquette and demeanor, it seems more like she's just putting on an act of politeness?"

"So the residents of Nuoding City all like her."

"But I heard that adventurers from the Nuoding Guild don't seem to like teaming up with her for quests?"

"There's no conflict..."

Mo Hen steered the conversation back on track, saying, "What do you think would happen if we set up a Soul Fighting Stage similar to Soul Fighting Arena on the playground in the future?"
