"Although I expected that taking Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing as disciples would cause some friction, this situation is a bit beyond my expectations."

Lan Minghua grumbled inwardly, too lazy to think about it, and directly asked, "Old Zhao, what happened while I was away?"

Zhao Wuji was stunned and didn't dare to lie.

He truthfully recounted how Tang San had used a hidden weapon to shoot arrows at the Great Soul Arena, intending to kill Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

Hearing this, Lan Minghua narrowed his eyes, killing intent surging within them.

"Tang San, have I been too lenient with you? Do you really think I won't make a move against you?!"

From the words "shoot arrows," he already knew what hidden weapon Tang San had used.

The Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

This was a hidden weapon capable of killing a Soul King!

If Oscar's Indestructible Vajra Body hadn't already reached an introductory level, he would have truly lost his life encountering the Godly Zhuge Crossbow.

Although Tang San was only level twenty-nine, he possessed quite a few hidden weapons.

There were several powerful hidden weapons, and the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was just one of them.

As for other powerful hidden weapons, Lan Minghua wasn't sure if Tang San had developed them yet.

While they posed no threat to Lan Minghua, they were a threat to Oscar and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Should I cripple him directly? After all, a thief can steal for a thousand days, but a guard can only guard for a thousand days."

Lan Minghua rubbed his stubble, deep in thought.

Zhao Wuji sweated profusely, swallowing hard and not daring to make a sound.

Just as he was contemplating how to deal with Tang San, people from Blue Sunshine Academy swaggered into the hotel.

Ma Hongjun's lower body immediately reacted, his small eyes fixed on the only young girl in the Blue Sunshine Academy group.

"Boss Dai, that girl from Blue Sunshine Academy is quite good-looking. What do you say, want to go hit on her?"

Although he was telling Dai Mubai to go, his eyes were shining, and he was unscrupulously scanning the girl's alluring body.

Dai Mubai, already fuming because of Zhu Zhuqing, curled his lips.

"Hit on her if you want, it's just a small Blue Sunshine Academy, what are they so arrogant about!"

Their voices were not deliberately lowered, and the middle-aged man leading the Blue Sunshine Academy group cast his gaze over.

Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun refused to back down and glared back directly.

They even glanced proudly at the well-behaved Oscar and said smugly, "Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity!"

"Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity? I think it's looking for trouble when there's none, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

Lan Minghua silently complained, making no comment on the saying.

After all, the law of the Soul Master world was the survival of the fittest.

Tang San smelled that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were deliberately targeting Oscar and immediately chimed in.

"Right, not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity. Unlike some people, who are weak and incompetent."

Hearing this, Oscar clenched his fists, his heart burning with rage.

At first, he also thought the saying was correct, as it was said by Flender.

But after becoming Lan Minghua's disciple, he felt the saying was wrong.

Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity?

Did Dean Flender dare to provoke a Titled Douluo?

Obviously, he didn't.

Instead, Oscar believed the saying Lan Minghua mentioned in his letter.

"Not being envied by others is mediocrity."

This saying contained true wisdom.

And also, "We don't provoke trouble, but we are not afraid of it."

Oscar coldly glanced at the three of Tang San, ignored them, closed his eyes, and decided not to see what he didn't want to see.

Dai Mubai and the other two were helpless about this; they had no reason to attack Oscar.

On the second floor, Lan Minghua found Tang San's statement "Not daring to cause trouble is mediocrity" very laughable.

As a disciple of the Tang Sect, he had forgotten the Tang Sect's principles.

Among the core rules of the Tang Sect: Tang Sect disciples must not easily provoke trouble.

(If you say there isn't, don't argue with me, go search on Baidu yourself. Also, don't say I'm taking things out of context; the latter half is: but if actively provoked, strike back with thunderous force.)

Wasn't Tang San a disciple of the Tang Sect?

Hadn't he always abided by the Tang Sect's principles?

Why had he now forgotten the core rules of the Tang Sect?

Or perhaps after so many years, you, Tang San, have already forgotten the Tang Sect's tenets?

But Tang San, how could he possibly forget?

There was a sentence in the Tang Sect's tenets that he remembered very clearly, often repeating it.

That was: You Have the Path to Death!

When these two sentences came from his mouth, his double-standard persona was unavoidable.

He provoked passersby: Not Daring to Cause Trouble is Mediocrity.

Passersby provoked him: You Have the Path to Death.

Thinking of Tang San's double-standard behavior, Lan Minghua couldn't help but chuckle, letting out a snort of laughter.

Zhao Wuji beside him was confused, not knowing who Lan Minghua was laughing at.

Lan Minghua wasn't very satisfied with Oscar's actions.

When others step on you and shit and piss on you, you have to retort at least.

However, being able to endure it was also a sign of considerable growth.

After all, in the Original Work, it was Oscar who told Tang San the phrase "Not Daring to Cause Trouble is Mediocrity."

Now that he had become Lan Minghua's disciple, even if his worldview wasn't perfectly aligned, it was at least less skewed than before.

The people from Blue Sunshine Academy sat down. The middle-aged teacher whispered something into the ear of one of the youths, instructing him.

Lan Minghua knew clearly that the show was about to begin.

"Old Zhao, if I don't tell you to act, you absolutely cannot act, understand?"

"Understood." Zhao Wuji replied. Even if he wanted to make a move, he might not be able to do so under Lan Minghua's watchful eye.

The youth from Blue Sunshine Academy stood up and walked directly towards Dai Mubai and the other two.

The waiter happened to be serving the dishes Dai Mubai had ordered and was also walking towards Dai Mubai.

The youth from Blue Sunshine Academy suddenly quickened his pace, pretending to accidentally bump into the waiter.

As a result, the steaming hot dishes were aimed directly at Dai Mubai's face.

Dai Mubai let out a cold laugh, already looking for an outlet for his anger!

He sidestepped the descending dishes and slapped out.

The youth from Blue Sunshine Academy hadn't expected Dai Mubai to attack directly and had no chance to react.

Before the dishes even landed, his chest took a solid palm strike.

Dai Mubai didn't hold back on this strike. The youth's face changed drastically, and with a "wah," he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward.

"Really sorry, I was thinking of swatting away the falling dishes, but I didn't expect to miss and accidentally injure someone."

Dai Mubai feigned an apology, but his words were full of disdain and contempt, showing no intention of apologizing at all.

Most people in the restaurant were Soul Masters, and they scoffed at Dai Mubai's words.

That slap just now clearly had a thick layer of soul power covering it.

However, it was none of their business, so they moved aside to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

How could the people from Blue Sunshine Academy tolerate this? Their leading teacher said coldly, "Arrogant brat, all of you, go and teach him a lesson!"

In response, Lan Minghua, on the second floor, shook his head.

They didn't even figure out the opponent's soul power level before sending those good-for-nothings up. Wasn't this just sending them to their deaths?

Dai Mubai was a level thirty-seven Soul Elder, and his beast martial soul was the White Tiger, a power-attack type.

The people from Blue Sunshine Academy were all Soul Grand Masters in their twenties, and their martial souls were very weak.

Although they were also beast martial souls, they were mostly Deer, Horses, and Sheep, which had relatively weak attack power.
