Flender's Disappointment in Yu Xiaogang
"Boss... is the competition for the throne of the Star Luo Empire really this brutal?"
Oscar's eyes no longer held elation or excitement; instead, they were filled with worry as he looked at Dai Mubai.
"Failure means death, being crippled, or imprisoned?!"
"This... this... Boss, as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, even if you failed in the competition for the throne, shouldn't you be granted a hereditary prince or a leisurely prince? How could the consequences of failure be so terrifying?"
Ma Hongjun was so frightened by Dai Mubai's words that he stammered.
Just a moment ago, he was thinking about clinging to his boss's coattails and becoming a hereditary duke in the Star Luo Empire, but he never expected that his boss would be in such dire straits.
While feeling heartbroken, Ma Hongjun, like Oscar, was also worried about his boss.
"The Star Luo Empire values martial prowess. If we want the Star Luo Empire to remain strong and prosperous, and if we want the Star Luo Imperial Family White Tiger Dai Family to continue to thrive, then we can be lenient and benevolent towards foreign powers and our subordinates. However, we must maintain high standards for ourselves internally."
"There are gains and losses, and losses and gains; this is inevitable."
Dai Mubai himself was not actually opposed to the cruel system by which the Star Luo Imperial Family selected its heir.
Because the Star Luo Imperial Family is strict with themselves and their heirs, the White Tiger Dai Family and the Star Luo Empire have remained powerful.
It can be said that if it weren't for the existence of the Spirit Hall, the Star Luo Empire would have already destroyed the Heaven Dou Empire and unified the entire Douluo Continent.
Ten thousand years later, during the Douluo II, although the Star Luo Empire still existed, the royal family had changed from the Dai Family to the Xu Family.
The reason for this drastic change is that, in the original novel, after winning the competition for the throne, the original owner voluntarily relinquished the throne, handing over the position of crown prince to her elder brother, Dai Weisi.
This is also related to the changes made to the competition system for succession to the throne by the royal family.
Although the selection system for the succession to the throne of the Star Luo Empire is cruel and fierce, it truly ensures that the final chosen successor is outstanding in both cultivation talent and mental wisdom.
The strength of the Star Luo Empire is closely related to the strict system for selecting the heir of the royal family.
In the original work, the predecessor broke and changed this system, which seemed to make the Star Luo Imperial Family more affectionate towards fathers and sons and siblings. However, in reality, this change also sowed the seeds of the Star Luo Empire's decline from prosperity.
The most ruthless are those of the imperial family; because of their ruthlessness, they are powerful.
For an imperial family to talk about father-son or brotherly love is a huge joke; it's not affection, it's cowardice.
Although from the moment he transmigrated, Dai Mubai had been under pressure because of the cruelty of the Star Luo Imperial Family's system for selecting the heir to the throne.
However, he never denied the system; on the contrary, he appreciated and approved of it.
Seeing Dai Mubai so calm and relaxed, Oscar and Ma Hongjun became even more concerned and worried.
"Don't worry." Seeing the two of them like this Dai Mubai couldn't help but chuckle.
"If it were the old me, I truly had no hope of winning the throne, which is why I always appeared depressed, decadent, and indulgent after I came to the academy."
"But now fate has smiled upon me, allowing my Martial Soul Mutation and my cultivation talent to undergo a transformation. I am now full of confidence in the competition for the throne—"
"Now, with Elder Lu's help, and with the assistance of Dean Flender, Teacher Zhao, Teacher Shao, Teacher Li, and all of you, including Little Ao and Fatty, I am much more confident about the competition for the throne."
His gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the room, a warm and welcoming smile on Dai Mubai's face.
Dai Mubai's confident smile was infectious.
This calmed down the anxious and worried hearts of everyone who was initially filled with worry.
"Don't worry, boss, I'll work hard at my training and try my best to be able to help when you need me," Oscar said.
"Me too," Ma Hongjun said, patting his chest.
"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Looking at the two people in front of him, regardless of whether they could actually contribute, Dai Mubai was already very satisfied with their willingness to help.
After briefly explaining a few things, Ma Hongjun and Oscar left in a hurry to return to their dormitory to continue their practice.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others, seeing that there was no danger, and noticing that Dai Mubai and Lu Qibin still had some matters to discuss, decided to leave.
The group tactfully left first, each going about their own business.
Especially Flender, after helping Dai Mubai Soul Hunting rings, wrote to his two old best friends, begging them to come to the Shrek Academy to help him.
However, after more than a week, he received a reply from Liu Erlong, who promised to come over immediately after finishing the matter at the Blue Tyrant Academy.
As for Yu Xiaogang, his letters went unanswered, and he received no reply, which made him very anxious.
"Sister Erlong has a bad temper and is good at fighting, but she doesn't have much talent or experience in teaching students. If she wants to teach Shrek Academy's group of genius students well..."
To bring out the full potential of Mubai, Hongjun, and Oscar, we still need Xiaogang, who is considered the number one theoretical expert in the Douluo Continent, to carry it out.
"Furthermore, the reason I was able to get Sister Erlong to agree to teach at the Shrek Academy was because Xiaogang agreed to teach at the Shrek Academy."
"If Xiaogang isn't in position, my lie will be exposed when Sister Erlong arrives. Not only will Sister Erlong turn around and leave, she might even beat me up."
"Xiaogang Xiaogang, I know you want to run away and don't want to see Sister Erlong, but I didn't mention Sister Erlong once in the letter I sent you. I simply asked you for help, hoping you could teach the students at the Shrek Academy."
"Several students at my Shrek Academy are the cream of the crop. If you can nurture them into talents, it will prove the correctness of your theory, which will also benefit you."
Why didn't you reply? Why won't you help me with this?
Thinking that Liu Erlong had already replied, saying that he would be coming soon.
However, his good friend Yu Xiaogang had not replied for a long time, which made Flender somewhat disappointed and disheartened.
Although he initially withdrew from pursuing Liu Erlong and chose to let Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong be together, their cousin relationship was exposed at their wedding.
Yu Xiaogang, fearing public opinion, abandoned Liu Erlong and left. At the time of that incident, Flender already felt extremely Wrath and disappointed in Yu Xiaogang.
He deeply loved Liu Erlong, and when he chose to withdraw voluntarily to let Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong be together, Flender made a great deal of mental preparation and sacrifice.
His purpose in doing this was to ensure that Liu Erlong could find true happiness.
Who would have thought that Yu Xiaogang not only failed to bring Liu Erlong happiness, but also broke Liu Erlong heart and betrayed her good intentions.
Over the years, Flender has felt remorseful for his initial decision to withdraw, while also feeling Wrath and disheartened by Yu Xiaogang's actions.
