Although the Shrek Four Thieves' physical injuries had been healed, the wounds left in their hearts by such a savage beating would be far harder to mend.
Everything he had just experienced made Tang San understand one thing.
As Bibi Dong had said, the strong made the rules, while the weak could only obey them.
The strong ruled everything. All beneath heaven lived or died at their whim, while the weak were nothing!
What made someone strong?
Having enough power!
And power meant strength!
Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, possessed enough strength, so she could brutalize Tang San and the others with such cruelty.
Tang San and the others could only endure the rules she imposed.
Otherwise, only death awaited them!
The Galaxy Fleet possessed enough strength, so they found new ways to beat Shrek Academy and savagely thrash Xiao Wu.
Black Feather Douluo's strength was even more terrifying. With his backing, Chen Shuang had taken the Blue Silver Emperor that rightfully belonged to Tang San.
Every last bit of this came down to Tang San not being strong enough.
Without sufficient strength, his dignity, his pride, and his promises could all be trampled at will by Spirit Hall, which possessed absolute strength.
If Tang San were strong enough, he would not be at Spirit Hall's mercy as he was now.
He could use his Mother's Entanglement to shatter every shackle.
But Tang San did not yet possess the strength to do any of that. He could not even put up the slightest resistance.
Thus, there was only one thing Tang San could do.
Endure in silence!
By enduring in silence, he could slowly build his strength until he was strong enough to kill every last person who had humiliated him!
The scene shifted back.
A faint smile
