The Lost Sense of Superiority: Conflict Between Yu Xiaogang and Flender

Night deepened.

The evening breeze swept across the Shrek Academy's playground, dispelling the lingering noise from the daytime training grounds.

After Yu Xiaogang comforted Tang San, who was still feeling depressed and resentful, Tang San remained calm.

But the anger and frustration in his chest did not subside at all; on the contrary, they surged even more fiercely.

During the day, Ning Rongrong gave a sharp rebuttal in public.

The image of his physical training theories being questioned by his disciples replayed in his mind again and again.

This left him feeling extremely embarrassed and as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Because of his cultivation level, Yu Xiaogang was looked down upon by many people.

His so-called theory is now everything.

He took a deep breath, his gaze turning cold, and turned to walk briskly towards Flender's residence.

This conflict must not be left unresolved.

Qin Yun's return and Ning Rongrong's disruption have completely ruined his authority and teaching rhythm at Shrek.

If this problem isn't completely resolved, he will lose all authority to manage his students.

At this moment, Flender sat alone in the room, the lamplight flickering, his brows furrowed with complex sorrow, lost in turmoil and frustration.

As the dean of Shrek, he was genuinely proud of Qin Yun.

In just a few months, his former disciple has risen to become Five-Ring Soul King, his talent surpassing all his peers and his progress defying the heavens.

Given Qin Yun's growth rate...

Before long, he will surely become famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

Having such a disciple is the greatest honor of his lifelong teaching career.

However, this brings with it unavoidable hidden dangers.

The deep-seated conflict between Qin Yun and Yu Xiaogang.

The two had conflicting beliefs and were burdened by old grudges.

Now that Qin Yun's strength has increased dramatically and his aura is fully unleashed, he completely disregards Yu Xiaogang's theories and authority.

This will continue to escalate the conflict and disrupt the training order of the entire academy.

Flender was torn between his two companions: his close friend and brother, with whom he had traveled the continent for many years;

On one hand, there was his exceptionally talented and promising disciple, which made it difficult for him to maintain a balance.

Just as Flender frowned in deep thought, his mind filled with conflicting emotions.

The door was pushed open.

Yu Xiaogang walked in, his face ashen.

Before even sitting down, Yu Xiaogang could no longer suppress his anger, and his tone was stern and tinged with indignation as he rebuked him.

"Flender, your disciple is far too presumptuous and arrogant!"

His words were laced with resentment.

"Today, you publicly incited other disciples to question my cultivation methods and disregard my authority in teaching."

"Every sentence is sharp and confrontational, every word is provocative!"

"If I let him continue to cause trouble like this, I won't be able to teach normally, and I'll have no face to discipline my students anymore."

"If he continues to stay at the academy, I won't be able to continue teaching him. I'm planning to take Tang San away from Shrek!"

These words carried immense weight, displaying a clear intention to break with the past.

Flender's heart tightened; he understood Yu Xiaogang's resolute decision.

The real reason Yu Xiaogang arranged for Tang San to come to the Shrek Academy was because Tang San's own abilities were limited and his cultivation level was low.

Most importantly, it cannot help him acquire high-level Soul Ring or protect him from external risks.

He wanted to use the Soul Master combat power of Flender, Zhao Wuji, and others to pave the way and protect Tang San.

At the same time, because he and Flender had been separated for a period of time.

Flender's attitude towards Yu Xiaogang was mostly one of concession and tolerance.

He had complete control over the entire academy's training arrangements and teaching plans.

But Qin Yun's appearance completely shattered this balance.

He was subjected to constant torment and control.

Qin Yun's talent was too terrifying. His unique Periodic Table of Elements Martial Soul system was beyond what he had learned in his life and completely beyond his comprehension. He simply could not guide him, predict his progress, or plan his cultivation path.

What made it even more embarrassing for him was that Qin Yun was mature and had a very high standard of thinking. He never blindly followed his dogmatic theories and didn't take him, this theoretical Grandmaster, seriously at all.

Despite his authority as Grandmaster, he repeatedly failed in front of Qin Yun.

This greatly frustrated the extremely arrogant Yu Xiaogang.

Flender looked at his old friend's angry face and sighed helplessly.

"Xiaogang, why are you so angry?"

"Qin Yun has only been away for a long time and has come back to visit old haunts and see us. He will stay for a few days at most and then leave. There's no need to ruin our relationship over this, and it certainly won't affect the academy's teaching."

"The subsequent training of the trainees will still be entirely under your arrangement."

But at this moment, Yu Xiaogang was already deeply troubled and furious, and he couldn't listen to a single word of advice.

His eyes were firm, and his tone was uncompromisingly forceful.

"No! I don't want to see him again. He has to leave Shrek first thing tomorrow morning!"

"As long as he's around, the college will never have a peaceful day, and my teaching will be impossible!"

Normally, Flender was tolerant and accommodating, always yielding to Yu Xiaogang and rarely arguing with him.

But Qin Yun is the most talented, outstanding, and proud disciple he has ever had in his coaching career. He is Shrek's future glory and hope.

He forced the students who had kindly returned to school to visit their teachers to be expelled.

He just couldn't do it.

Flender's expression slowly darkened, and his tone became somewhat serious.

In their first direct Yu Xiaogang said, "Xiaogang, I can't say that."

"The child is grateful and came back specifically to visit his teachers and the college. His sincerity is heartfelt, and I cannot be so heartless as to kick him out."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang sneered, his eyes filled with prejudice and displeasure.

"Visiting? Do you really think he's just coming back for a nostalgic visit?"

"His cultivation level has clearly increased dramatically, and he's come back to flaunt his strength, trample on my dignity, and challenge my authority!"

These words completely ignited the anger in Flender's heart.

His brows were furrowed, and his tone was firm and resolute.

"Xiao Gang! Your disciple has made progress in cultivation and broken through to a higher realm. You have returned to show your cultivation achievements to your master. How has this ambition become showing off?"

He looked at his stubborn and easily angered old friend and saw right through him.

Speak frankly and openly.

"I know perfectly well that the reason you're targeting Qin Yun is ultimately because of Tang San."

"You are Tang San's teacher, and you are completely biased towards your own disciple. You can't stand seeing Qin Yun's talent overwhelming and his progress being extraordinary, and you can't stand seeing Tang San being completely suppressed and feeling disappointed."

His words were frank and straightforward, piercing through all of Yu Xiaogang's pretense and excuses.

In the original novel, Yu Xiaogang actually always had this sense of superiority.

That was his disciple Tang San, who was the most outstanding.

Here, this sense of superiority was completely shattered.

Flender's eyes were resolute as he continued.

"I admit that Tang San is exceptionally talented and resilient, a rare and promising talent."

"But Qin Yun is also a disciple of Shrek!"

"He came back out of kindness, and I cannot expel my prized disciple because of your selfishness!"

At this moment, the brotherhood that had been harmonious for many years was cracked because of Qin Yun.

The atmosphere inside was extremely tense.

The two stood facing each other, neither willing to back down.
