Roasting

Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others all looked half-convinced and half-dubious. Such a heaven-defying Self-Created Soul Skill was simply beyond common sense, making it difficult to believe. Even divine skills were probably no more than this!

Seeing the suspicion in their eyes, Chen Yu grew somewhat agitated. He slapped the table and rose to his feet. "You don't believe me? I can show you." With that expression and posture, he looked exactly like a little boy showing off a favorite new toy.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yu circulated his Divine Power. Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and other weapons appeared one after another in his hands, and they were tangible weapons.

That was not all. Chen Yu circulated even more Divine Power, and divine beasts began appearing around him one after another. Divine Dragons, Divine Apes, Divine Crocodiles, and other divine beasts manifested, and the aura of every single one made Tang San and the others tremble from head to toe.

"Well? With this Self-Created Soul Skill from my sect, even a Titled Douluo would be no match for me."

As Chen Yu spoke, he glanced at Ning Rongrong. His gaze clearly said, See that? I'm not afraid of the Titled Douluo from your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He had not put on this display for no reason. He wanted to spread news of his abilities through their mouths and see how many people would come looking for trouble with him.

First there had been Qian Renxue and Golden Crocodile Douluo; now there were Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Ning Rongrong. The forces behind these people could practically represent the entire Douluo Continent. It was the perfect opportunity to see how many people would come for him. Whoever came, he would kill.

When Chen Yu dispelled the manifested weapons and divine beasts, Tang San and the others all looked at him eagerly. Was his sect still accepting people? They wanted to become disciples too. They wanted to learn this Self-Created Soul Skill as well.

Zhu Zhuqing in particular looked as though the blazing fire in her eyes was about to burst forth.

Chen Yu could naturally guess what they were thinking. Waving a hand, he said, "Stop dreaming. If it were that easy to learn, I wouldn't be the only one who had mastered it after all this time."

"Besides, I don't have the authority to bring people back to my sect. My sect values fate when accepting disciples. When fate arrives, disciples will naturally be accepted."

Once Chen Yu finished speaking, Tang San and the others looked at each other in silence, their hearts filled with disappointment. Such a heaven-defying Self-Created Soul Skill had nothing to do with them after all, and an indescribable sense of loss spread through them.

Just as everyone was feeling dejected, the breakfast they had ordered arrived.

Chen Yu did not care whether they had any appetite. He happily began eating by himself.

Just then, Xiao Wu suddenly asked, "Chen Yu, why did you... humiliate us yesterday?"

As soon as she said that, Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others, who had still been feeling disappointed, came to their senses as well. That was right. Chen Yu had been humiliating them yesterday, yet now they were sitting at the same table eating with him. It was far too ironic.

Chen Yu glanced at them and replied with perfect justification, "Of course it was because I didn't like the look of you." He added silently, Who told you to be the Protagonist Group? If I don't bully you, who should I bully?

Without waiting for Xiao Wu and the others to speak, Chen Yu continued, "What I hate most are people who bully the weak and fear the strong, and that's exactly what you are."

"Bullshit!" Dai Mubai slammed the table with his left hand and stood up. "Yesterday was the first time we met. What right do you have to say we bully the weak and fear the strong?"

Chen Yu gave Dai Mubai an indifferent glance, his tone calm. "'Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' You people said that, right? It seemed to be something your dean said. I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

Question marks seemed to appear over Tang San and the others' heads. What was wrong with that saying? They felt there was nothing wrong with it!

"If the other party were from Spirit Hall, or if they were Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo, would you dare provoke them?"

"You wouldn't, would you? So am I wrong to say that you bully the weak and fear the strong?"

Tang San and the others fell silent. Yesterday, they really had been the ones to provoke Canghui Academy first. If the other side had been from Spirit Hall, they probably would not have dared utter a single word. Was that not bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

"Also, I'm rather curious. When that fatty was harassing other girls, the three of you, as fellow women, actually did nothing to stop him. That is somewhat problematic, isn't it?"

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ning Rongrong's faces reddened slightly. Yesterday, they really had not stopped Ma Hongjun.

Dai Mubai snorted coldly. "The fatty's situation is special. His Martial Soul is a mutated Phoenix, and inside his body..."

Dai Mubai felt it was necessary to explain Ma Hongjun's circumstances. Otherwise, their reputation would be ruined.

To Dai Mubai's surprise, Chen Yu burst out laughing after hearing him out. "Why let someone like that cultivate at all? Wouldn't it be better for him to honestly live as an ordinary person? Being ordinary might be best for him."

"His current strength does not make much of a difference, but what will happen to the evil fire in his body when he reaches the level of Spirit Emperor or Spirit Sage?"

"At that time, ordinary women will not be able to endure him. Your fat classmate will inevitably need female soul masters to vent his fire. But will female soul masters agree? His fate is obvious. In the future, either he will become invincibly powerful and all the women in the world will be his to take as he pleases, or he will bring calamity upon the world and become the public enemy of all soul masters."

Tang San and the others fell silent, their expressions shifting uncertainly. They felt Chen Yu made sense. What would happen to Ma Hongjun's evil fire in the future?

While everyone was deep in thought, Chen Yu's voice rang out again. "I'll definitely find time to visit your Shrek Academy. It's too bizarre. It actually teaches its students that 'those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre.' And that fatty—the more he cultivates, the bigger his problem becomes. Are the people at your academy all idiots? They can't even see such an obvious issue."

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others looked terrible. Inwardly, they cursed, You're the idiot. Your whole family is made up of idiots.

But they did not dare say it aloud, because Chen Yu's analysis made too much sense for them to refute.

It felt awful, truly awful. They were being cursed to their faces and could not even talk back.

Xiao Wu, whose brain capacity was small and who was not particularly clever, retorted, "Our Shrek Academy isn't bizarre at all. We only accept monsters. Every student who leaves the academy becomes a figure admired throughout the world. The most outstanding one has already become Spirit Hall's youngest elder. I believe the dean will definitely be able to solve the fatty's problem."

Chen Yu gave Xiao Wu a strange look. Spirit Hall's youngest elder? That should have been something Dai Mubai said when they first enrolled, right? He had not expected Xiao Wu to believe it so completely.

Looking at the others again, they actually all wore expressions of shared pride.

He fell silent. He no longer wanted to communicate with this group of idiots.

But Xiao Wu thought Chen Yu had been frightened. Proudly, she said, "Well? Our Shrek Academy is impressive, right? If you're willing to come, I can recommend you to the dean. I'm sure he'll accept you."

The others' eyes lit up at once. If Chen Yu entered Shrek Academy, would that mean they might have a chance to learn the Self-Created Soul Skill of his sect?

Chen Yu sighed. Looking at Xiao Wu with pity, he said, "A brain is a good thing. Remember to bring yours with you when you go out in the future."

"An elder of Spirit Hall must be a Titled Douluo. What the hell is your Shrek Academy to brag so shamelessly?"

"If Shrek Academy could produce a Titled Douluo, it would have become famous across the continent long ago. How could it be like this now, with no reputation at all?"

The smiles on Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others' faces instantly froze. They slowly turned toward Dai Mubai, several gazes pinning him down like chains as they waited for his explanation.

Dai Mubai was dumbfounded too. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said in exasperation, "Why are you all looking at me? You've only been fooled for a few days, but I was fooled for years."
