Xu Tiankuo: These Two Really Don't Treat Themselves Like Leaders-They Don't Even Treat Me Like a Person

The room fell silent beneath the Heavenly Screen, no one paying attention to anyone else. The moment the Spirit Transmission Douluo entered the room, he sensed that something was amiss.

Avoid Yin Hongye directly; that evil star is indeed evil, and you must not encounter him.

He is destined to be my nemesis.

Before long, the rocket's exhaust flames tore through the gray sky, and the roar could be heard dozens of miles away, making people's chests feel tight.

The streak of fire rose straight up, faster and thinner, until it finally transformed into a faintly bright star on the horizon.

Beyond the Heavenly Screen, the rulers of various powerful factions watched with envy.

They all wanted their faction to have this too.

But in the Heavenly Screen, it's a completely different scene.

Mu Hongchen yawned. Yin Hongye leaned against the railing, her eyes devoid of emotion.

Qian Renxue glanced at the rocket but didn't feel anything significant; they weren't the first to benefit from this technology anyway.

The people from the Spirit Pagoda left the viewing platform ahead of time.

When Qian Gu Dongfeng left, his face was grim, while Long Yeyue didn't even give him a proper look, only offering silver. As the two brushed past each other, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

The Shrek members didn't stay until the end; they left after the launch. The Tang Sect members were still there, but Zang Xin hadn't spoken a single word to Yin Hongye since the launch.

Qian Renxue glanced around the mostly empty viewing platform and looked at Yin Hongye, saying, "So, your biggest achievement coming here today is offending the Spirit Pagoda, Shrek, and the Tang Sect?"

"To correct you, we've only offended Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. The conflict between the Shrek Academy and the Spirit Pagoda is Shrek Academy's own problem," Yin Hongye said, glancing at Mu Hongchen and whispering, "How's your research on those things going?"

"It's alright, we can start testing it soon. After all, it's a waste to use that thing as a bomb, let's use it as an energy source instead," Mu Hongchen replied directly.

To onlookers, these words sounded incoherent and left them wondering what they were saying.

Others might not understand, Ling Zichen did. Single-Unit Miniature Source Positive-Cycle Array —a research topic she had just begun—while Mu Hongchen was already close to producing experimental results. She adjusted her glasses, remained silent, and listened quietly.

"Let's go, this place is boring. Once you've confirmed the safety, check the power output of the energy release." Yin Hongye straightened up. "After helping Old Xu offend some people, I'll help him take care of all his rivals later."

Hearing this from a distance, Xu Tiankuo's smile finally crumbled. He glanced at Yin Hongye, then at Mu Hongchen, and realized that neither of them was joking.

"No, I really can't handle your enthusiasm. If I'm not mistaken—whether I can keep up depends entirely on how tough my luck is, right?"

"That's true," Yin Hongye patted his shoulder, "People are risking their lives to pave the way for you, you have to accept it. You have to believe in yourself."

"All you need to do then is stand under the Federation flag, raise your fist high, and you're guaranteed to win."

For some reason, Xu Tiankuo already had a picture in his mind. Moreover, he was certain that these two would indeed snipe him from a hundred kilometers away.

These two don't act like leaders at all, or even like human beings.

Leaving the rocket launch site, Yin Hongye walked at the front, completely unconcerned about the launch. However, he noticed Ling Zichen's gaze fixed on Mu Hongchen.

Qian Renxue followed half a step behind him, having held back all the way, and finally had a chance to ask, "What exactly is the situation with that Tang Ya? Isn't she the leader of the Tang Sect? Why can't we even mention her?"

Yin Hongye sat in Mu Hongchen's Red-Class Mecha and said to her, "Tang Ya has nothing to sympathize with; she chose her own path to ruin."

As Mu Hongchen activated his Mecha, he hacked into Long Yeyue's Mecha's public channel and broadcast the message aloud:

"Tang Ya is indeed the sect leader of the Tang Sect. She possesses the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and her strength has reached the Titled Douluo, but her natural talent alone wouldn't have allowed her to become Titled Douluo through normal means. However, before becoming Titled Douluo, she was also the Holy Maiden of the Holy Spirit Cult."

Qian Renxue paused, "Evil Soul Master?"

"That's right." Yin Hongye continued walking forward, "Actually, the Tang Sect was almost wiped out ten thousand years ago. At that time, only Tang Ya was left, so she naturally became the sect leader of the Tang Sect Clan. She also joined Shrek Academy."

"She realized her talent was insufficient at the Shrek Academy. In her quest for revenge, she first used the Blue Silver Grass's devouring ability to consume the life force of plants. In her revenge, she even devoured the lives of Soul Master. Finally, she joined the Holy Spirit Cult."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue finally understood that Tang Ya was indeed an Evil Soul Master.

"No wonder the Passionate Douluo forbids mentioning it; it's truly a disgrace."

Meanwhile, Long Yeyue, whose channel had been forcibly hacked, said, "Can you two please stop Tang Ya joining my Shrek Academy? She left Shrek Academy before she became Evil Soul Master."

"It's alright, just listen carefully. If you're so capable, then ban me!" Mu Hongchen retorted directly, mainly because the Federation's military bases wouldn't allow him to crack and broadcast the message, otherwise he would show the Passionate Douluo was made of.

"That's right, Tang Ya is Evil Soul Master." Yin Hongye nodded. "It's because they can't let people know that the Tang Sect Master became Titled Douluo by sacrificing lives."

"No. If that were all, the Tang Sect wouldn't be so wary. There are plenty of Titled Douluo who have killed people; which force doesn't have a few blood debts? Zang Xin's reaction is excessive." Qian Renxue frowned in confusion. She thought that after Tang Ya joined the Holy Spirit Cult, nothing else happened.

"You're right. It's not just murder." Yin Hongye turned to look at her. "The problem is, after she was rescued by Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, not only did she not lose her cultivation, but she also broke through to the Titled Douluo and purified her Martial Soul. An Evil Soul Master, with blood on her hands, stood cleanly in the sunlight, revered by thousands."

He gave a cold laugh. "Back then, didn't she find the sunlight too bright?"

"What about those who died at her hands? Did they die in vain?"

Qian Renxue fell silent, but before she could process this information, Mu Hongchen added insult to injury.

"Shrek themselves said that Evil Soul Master should be killed."

"Ten thousand years ago, how many people weren't originally Evil Soul Master, but were driven to desperation by the Shrek Academy? And yet, they treat them differently. They hunt down other people's Evil Soul Master to death, but give their own people a chance behind closed doors."

Qian Renxue was stunned, but she didn't know that she actually had no right to think about this.

Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, also spared Bibi Dong back then.

However, Bibi Dong was much better than Tang Ya in her devouring behavior; in the original novel, she killed Qian Xunji.

Moreover, their previous relationship had long since broken down, leaving them only as enemies.

Under the Heavenly Screen, messages travel faster than the wind.

"The Tang Sect Master paved his way with human lives, then turned around and became Titled Douluo? Does that mean the lives of ordinary people aren't lives?"

"Evil Soul Master deserve to kill civilians, but the Tang Sect leader's killing of civilians is justifiable? What kind of bullshit logic is that!"

The crowd grew larger and larger. Some clenched their fists, some had red eyes, but they couldn't find a suitable outlet for their anger, so they could only curse the Tang Sect and Tang San.

Upon hearing this, Tang San scoffed and roared at the Heavenly Screen, "Slander!"

"Our Tang Sect only kills those who deserve to die! This is slander! This Evil Soul Master must have been brought by that Sun Moon Empire."

He was furious and ferocious, but he didn't have much strength left. The next moment, a slightly weaker killing intent pierced straight into Tang San's heart.

His lips were purple, but he didn't faint and was still able to lie down and look at the Heavenly Screen.

Dai Mubai stood three steps behind him, arms crossed, "What happened? Where did that attack come from? Luckily, there are no Sea Soul Master around."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, she just watched quietly.

Both of them looked at Tang San with a strange expression. They were still heading back to the Star Luo Empire to see if they could get another warship.

If it weren't for Dai Mubai, the warship wouldn't have been able to be launched.

In the Heavenly Screen, Qian Renxue asked again, "Why were Evil Soul Master judged the way they were ten thousand years ago?"

Mu Hongchen explained, "Before we talk about that, we should first talk about the Shrek Academy Inspection Corps."
