The Name of a Simp

[Huo Wu]: Liu Erlong, what else do you have to say for yourself this time?

[Huo Wu]: This is hilarious! The dignified Grandmaster didn't even know the most basic farting survival skill of a badger-type soul beast? He was so dead set on it, only to end up getting a farting soul skill.

[Feng Xiaotian]: Sister Huo Wu is right! I back Sister Huo Wu!

Watching the woman he had always yearned for, Erlong, being mocked and ridiculed like this, Flender finally could not hold back any longer.

[Flender]: Enough! Mocking Xiao Gang is one thing, but can you leave Sister Erlong out of it! Besides, Xiao Gang merely misjudged this time; who doesn't misread things at least once in their life?

[Liu Erlong]: Boss Fu, shut your mouth! Xiao Gang's choice was obviously not wrong; he just had bad luck!

Seeing that Liu Erlong not only refused to appreciate his kind intervention to smooth things over, but instead publicly rebuffed him in order to defend Yu Xiaogang, Flender felt a pang of heartache.

In the end, Flender still forced a smile and sent a bullet comment.

[Flender]: Sister Erlong, I'm sorry, I really spoke out of turn just now.

On the Shrek Academy playground.

The crowd, who had originally been smiling and watching the spectacle, all reined in their smiles at that moment and cast odd looks toward their own dean.

This was the first time they had ever seen the usually stingy and shrewd Flender reveal such a subservient, even pitiful, appearance.

For a moment, the two large characters "simp" spontaneously floated into everyone's minds.

It wasn't just the Shrek crowd who felt this way; at this moment, Hu Liena far away in Spirit City and Huo Wu of Blazing Fire Academy also had two familiar figures—Yan and Feng Xiaotian—instantly pop into their minds the moment they saw Flender's humble apology bullet comment.

Seeing Flender's subservient look, Dai Mubai, who always considered himself a romantic expert, decided to speak up and help his dean.

After all, Flender usually took good care of him, and when it came to matters of the heart, with young master Dai ranking second, no one in Suotuo City dared claim first place.

He wasn't bragging, but the girlfriends he had cycled through in Suotuo City over the past few years were too numerous to count on two hands.

Thinking of this, Dai Mubai cleared his throat and spoke with a rather smug air:

"Ahem! Dean, although your cultivation is vastly superior to mine, when it comes to matters of romance, I simply must give you a few pointers!"

Upon hearing this, Flender's originally dim eyes instantly lit up.

Although he spoke of blessing Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang on the surface, his yearning for Liu Erlong in his heart had never extinguished. If there really was a way...

"You..."

Flender had just wanted to humbly ask for advice when he suddenly felt a cold, resentful gaze shoot over from beside him. He abruptly snapped back to reality—his good brother Yu Xiaogang was standing right next to him!

Flender hastily stopped his inquiry, scratched his head awkwardly, and babbled an incoherent explanation:

"Um... Xiao Gang, don't get me wrong, I absolutely have no intention of stealing your woman!"

However, having suffered continuous exposure from the Sky Screen video and public mockery in the bullet comments, Yu Xiaogang's nerves were already extremely sensitive and warped.

To put it without exaggeration, the venom and jealousy in his heart right now would make even the Rakshasa God cry expert, and perhaps even prompt her to transfer the God Trial from Bibi Dong to Yu Xiaogang on the spot.

Listening to Flender's explanation, Yu Xiaogang merely let out a cold snort and turned his head away, while bitterly making a mental note of it.

Hmph! What a good brother! Putting on a good guy act on the surface and saying he blesses us, while secretly still eyeing my woman! Just you wait, as soon as the Sky Screen ends, I'll go straight to find Erlong and get back together with her!

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's gloomy expression, Flender sighed helplessly and dared not say anything more.

However, the Shrek crowd nearby caught the scent of a heaven-shaking piece of gossip from these few brief words.

Ma Hongjun looked at Yu Xiaogang, his face full of resentment and confusion.

He simply couldn't understand it; their teacher possessed high cultivation and treated people well, yet that Liu Erlong must have been blind to pass over Flender and instead favor this so-called trash Grandmaster.

Dai Mubai also realized he had seemingly said the wrong thing and could only awkwardly force a couple of dry laughs.

Yet he failed to notice that right as he was smugly boasting about his "extensive romantic experience" just a moment ago, Zhu Zhuqing, standing not far from him, was already looking at him with ice-cold hostility.

Because of the recent farce, the bullet comment area at this moment was exceptionally lively. Some people continued to mock Yu Xiaogang, some were curious about the affairs between the trio, and others like Yan and Feng Xiaotian—that pair of fellow sufferers—were exchanging insights.

Meanwhile, the video footage on the Sky Screen continued to play.

[After a good long while, Yu Yuanzhen finally snapped out of his shock regarding Yu Xiaogang's soul skill, immediately followed by a blaze of fury as he unleashed a torrent of abuse upon Yu Xiaogang.]

["Trash! The clan has always had a well-established soul beast hunting protocol, yet you refused to follow the rules and insisted on messing with your worthless theories! Look at you now? You researched a farting soul skill, are you satisfied now!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen felt a surge of blood rushing to his head at that moment.]

[He could already imagine that once word of this got out, any face he had as Thunder Douluo would probably be completely gone. Wherever he went, people would point fingers behind his back and call him "the father of the farting soul master"!]

[Wise and illustrious for a lifetime, all ruined at the hands of this unfilial son.]

[Although Yu Xiaogang was trembling all over from the scolding at this moment, deep down he remained somewhat unconvinced.]

["Impossible! My theory can never be wrong! It must be a problem with this blunt-armored thunder-pattern badger! Yes, it must be that its age was too low and affected my absorption!"]

["Enough, from now on you will stay put right here in the clan, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and you are strictly forbidden from releasing your soul skill in front of others, do you hear me!"]

[Seeing Yu Xiaogang's submissive demeanor, Yu Yuanzhen was so enraged he didn't even know what else to say. It took him a good long while to catch his breath before issuing a stern command.]

[In his mind, as long as Yu Xiaogang didn't display this farting martial soul, outsiders at most would mock him for siring a piece of trash—which was still better than letting people know he had sired a freak who fought by farting.]

In the real world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Looking at the imagery on the Sky Screen, Yu Yuanzhen's vision went dark and he nearly spat a mouthful of old blood.

It was over.

It was all over!

A scandal previously known only to major powers was now broadcasted across the entire continent by the Sky Screen; he, Yu Yuanzhen, was now thoroughly established as the "father of the farting grandmaster"!

"Unfilial son... this unfilial son!"

Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fists so hard they cracked, roaring through gritted teeth,

"As soon as the Sky Screen ends, immediately send men to drag him back to me! He must not be allowed to go out and make a spectacle of himself any longer!"

[Faced with his father's confinement order, Yu Xiaogang naturally dared not resist, and could only submissively lower his head in compliance.]

[However, before returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang's mind grew active once again, and a single sentence he uttered nearly caused Yu Yuanzhen to pass away on the spot.]

["Father... surely you wouldn't want my current situation to be known by others? That... would probably bring disgrace upon you!"]
