Flender looked at Tang San, who was about to bend down, and wanted to reach out to stop him, but stopped halfway through.

Flender thought: Tang San Tang San, in terms of talent, you are indeed the most outstanding student I have ever seen, but you are too arrogant and impulsive. After this experience, perhaps you will become more sensible and think twice before you act.

A dead genius is nothing; only a living genius has the potential to become a true powerhouse in the future!

Flender then began to recount the truth of that day, revealing the general facts despite some personal emotions involved.

Originally, Flender and Zhao Wuji were fighting Lin Yaodong at the same time. At the crucial moment, Tang San made a despicable move to kill Lin Yaodong. However, Lin Yaodong was unharmed, which instead enraged Flander.

Later, Li Yusong led Tang San and Oscar to escape first, leaving Flender and the other three to hold off the Saber Emperor Lin Yaodong. In the end, two of the four died, one was crippled, and one was seriously injured.

After explaining everything, Flender felt a sense of relief; this matter had been a heavy burden on Flender mind.

He harbored resentment towards Tang San; if Tang San hadn't disrupted the duel, Shrek Academy wouldn't be in this state.

And after that, Shrek Academy never enrolled any more students.

After Zhao Wuji and Lu Qibin died, he was somewhat disheartened. They were originally comrades who had agreed to retire from the Soul Master World together, but in the end, two of them died and one was crippled.

He no longer had any intention of continuing Shrek Academy; what sustained him now was Zhao Wuji's dying wish.

Shrek Academy will be disbanded after Tang San and his three friends graduate.

Originally, Flender and Zhao Wuji planned to have a meal together after their duel with Saber Emperor Lin Yaodong, and get to know each other better.

For powerful forces such as the Spirit Hall, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, and the two great empires, Lin Yaodong usually fights and leaves, without much interaction with them.

However, Lin Yaodong would not refuse to befriend smaller factions or independent individuals if they wished to do so.

Now look what's happened! Tang San's actions have turned friendship into enmity, and a deadly one at that!

But Tang San was, after all, his student, and the only disciple of his sworn brother Yu Xiaogang, so he didn't hold a grudge against him. In fact, to protect him, he even forbade Oscar from telling anyone about it.

However, he still made one request to Tang San: the use of Hidden Weapon was prohibited unless life was threatened, especially in battles between Soul Master.

Therefore, in the previous duel, as soon as Flender saw Tang San take out the Godly Zhuge Crossbow, he went over and slapped him.

He had told him countless times not to use it casually, yet Tang San dared to do it right in front of him, causing Flender to immediately lose his composure.

Isn't this just making trouble for myself?

The last time this damn Hidden Weapon was used against Lin Yaodong, Shrek Academy was crippled.

This time it's Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's granddaughter Tang San, are you really planning to ruin Shrek Academy?!

If something really happens to Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo will definitely slaughter everyone in Shrek.

That's why Flender quickly ended the duel, stopping while things were still manageable, lest things escalate and become impossible to end later.

As Flender recounted what happened that day, everyone's gaze towards Tang San changed, including Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from the Shrek Academy.

Those who initially sympathized with him in the Imperial Fighting Team now only have two words to say: He deserved it!

In the Douluo Continent, duels between Soul Master are considered sacred, and no one can disrupt them; otherwise, they will be condemned.

In fact, duels are pretty much the same in any world, and anyone with a modicum of common sense wouldn't interfere.

Tang San, being from the Tang Sect, learned how to kill his opponent and achieve his ultimate goal with minimal cost.

He didn't practice chivalry or fair duels.

Therefore, Tang San didn't think it was a big deal, and even thought it was a bit old-fashioned. However, in order to integrate into this world, he would normally abide by this rule to avoid becoming an outcast in this world.

That's why he disregarded morality when facing Lin Yaodong, resorting to sneak attacks at crucial moments and abandoning all martial ethics.

Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the other two were equally incredulous that Tang San would do such a thing.

Dai Mubai asked with a complicated expression, "Little Ao, you were there that day too. Was everything Dean Flender said true?"

Oscar: "It's true. After that day, Principal Flender instructed me not to tell anyone about it."

Dai Mubai angrily slammed his fist on the wall beside him. "Damn it, why would that Little San do such a thing? Doesn't he know who the other party is? Even if he succeeds, so what? That being will absolutely not Shrek."

Has Tang San lost his mind? How could he do something so stupid?!

Tang San observed the behavior and attitude of everyone present.

Tang San was not surprised by the Imperial Fighting Team's attitude, but what he found unacceptable was the attitude of the Shrek Devils.

Dean Flender's indifference, his teacher Yu Xiaogang's disappointment, and his companions Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's accusations all deeply wounded Tang San's heart.

No!

I did nothing wrong, you are the ones who are wrong. Lin Yaodong is my enemy, and since he is my enemy, he should be killed.

Does it matter what method you use?

If you clearly have a simpler, easier, and more successful method, why not use it?

The only mistake was underestimating the opponent's strength and failing to kill Lin Yaodong on the spot.

I'm not wrong, you're the ones who are wrong. You're stubborn and inflexible, knowing full well you're no match for them, yet you still insist on fighting. Isn't that foolish?

How pedantic! Utterly pedantic!

The correct approach is to achieve the greatest goal with the least cost.

I, Tang San, did nothing wrong!

Dugu Yan looked at Tang San with disdain and said sarcastically, "No wonder I don't like you. How could a despicable person like you possibly catch my eye?"

"I had some expectations for you guys back then, since you were able to cultivate Soul Master like Teacher Qin Ming. But now it seems you're nothing but a den of iniquity. Teacher Qin Ming is a complete exception at Shrek."

Ma Hongjun retorted, somewhat unconvinced. "Tang San is Tang San, Shrek is Shrek. Your statement is clearly prejudiced."

Dugu Yan laughed, "You fatso, I remember you should be no more than thirteen years old this year. How old are you? You've already lost your vital energy. You're so young and you're already learning bad habits. You even dare to say that Shrek isn't a place that harbors filth."

Ma Hongjun's face flushed red. "You..."

Qin Ming frowned. "Yanyan, you've gone too far. Shrek is, after all, my alma mater. You can't let one or two people make you prejudiced against the entire Shrek..."

Qin Ming's attitude was clear: Tang San was trash, but Shrek was not.
