Hongjun, He Isn't Naturally Bad!

Only Flender, perhaps not a qualified teacher, was still genuinely concerned about Ma Hongjun. Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, not a single word was spoken about Ma Hongjun.

He couldn't hold back and said in a low voice:

"Xiao San, since you came out of the Slaughter City."

"Did you see Hongjun?"

"How is he now? Has he gotten much better?"

Tang San fell silent.

A strong sense of unease surged within Flender.

"Xiao San, what happened to Hongjun?"

Tang San cast an apologetic glance at Flender and said in a low voice:

"Hongjun... he's already dead."

Flender's face instantly turned pale.

His heart felt as if it were being fiercely gripped by a large hand!

It made it hard for him to breathe!

Hongjun... he was his only disciple!

And what Tang San said next made Flender even more furious!

"It was Lin Xiao! Lin Xiao killed Hongjun!"

"Hongjun was living well in the Slaughter City. I never expected that even after hiding in the Slaughter City, Lin Xiao still wouldn't let him go!"

Flender could no longer suppress the rage in his heart!

Boom!

The aura of a peak Soul Saint exploded forth!

Flender's eyes turned blood red, his voice hoarse.

"This beast!"

"Hongjun was his childhood playmate! What kind of grudge, what kind of hatred, would make him pursue him to the Slaughter City and commit such a brutal act?"

"Lin Xiao is a disgrace to his parents! He's nothing good!"

Tang San didn't mention Ma Hongjun's degeneracy in the Slaughter City, nor did he mention that Ma Hongjun had wanted to kill Lin Xiao. After all, none of that mattered. No matter how many mistakes Hongjun made, Lin Xiao had no right to kill him!

To use a common saying.

"He was just a child!"

Flender was consumed by anger.

"I am Hongjun's only teacher, I watched Hongjun grow up. Although Hongjun strayed a bit, his nature is not bad!"

"Even if there were some conflicts, some misunderstandings, why would Lin Xiao act so venomously?"

According to Flender's logic.

Even though Ma Hongjun wanted to kill Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao didn't die, did he?

Even though Ma Hongjun wanted to get revenge by any means necessary, the people around Lin Xiao were unharmed, weren't they?

Furthermore.

Even if Ma Hongjun truly made an unforgivable mistake...

He was still just a child!

Couldn't he have been educated kindly, or spanked if necessary?

Hongjun's nature wasn't bad!

Only Lin Xiao could be the bad one!

"Lin Xiao! I don't care who is backing you! I'm not afraid of Poison Douluo either!"

"I only know that blood demands blood!"

Flender clenched his fist.

Perhaps only by sacrificing Lin Xiao's blood for Ma Hongjun.

Could Ma Hongjun's spirit in heaven find peace...

Just then, Shao Xin rushed over, and his joyous voice could be heard.

"That's great! The Beast Tide has retreated!"

"Thanks to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Lin Xiao..."

Suddenly, Shao Xin's words came to an abrupt halt. Because he saw Flender, his old friend, looking at him with a ferocious gaze, which greatly astonished Shao Xin.

"Uh, did I say something wrong?"

Liu Erlong sighed and gave Shao Xin an apologetic smile.

"Teacher Shao, you didn't mean to."

"The beast tide retreated so quickly? What's the situation on the front lines, tell me."

Shao Xin nodded and spoke voluminously.

"Although the beast tide has retreated, the results were hard-won!"

"Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe personally took to the battlefield to kill enemies, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo teamed up to fight Xiong Jun, Pope Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall contained Crimson King, and the elders of Spirit Hall fought against Zi Ji!"

"It is precisely because our Continent has these heroic Soul Masters that we can protect this peace and tranquility!"

"In the final moments, Spirit Hall's Great Enshrinement Qian Daoliu and Star Dou Great Forest's Beast God Di Tian battled in the sky, causing space to shatter, the Black Dragon to bleed, and the Angels to be repelled!"

"Ultimately, a peace treaty was signed. For five years, 100,000-year Soul Beasts and Titled Douluo-level powerhouses from both sides shall not act rashly. However, the human empires must also cede some territory for Soul Beasts to thrive and reproduce."

Yu Xiaogang said coldly.

"We're even ceding territory to Soul Beasts? What's the difference between this and a treaty that humiliates and degrades the nation!"

"And for this, they are proud?"

Hearing this, Shao Xin, who always had a smiling and amiable demeanor, suddenly lost his cheerful expression. He said with a dark face.

"Although this old man did not go to the front lines, I know how difficult the fighting there is!"

"The ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest are also not to be trifled with! To force both the ferocious beasts and humans to take a step back and achieve temporary peace is the best outcome!"

"What right do you have to speak ill of us from the comfort of the rear, you Soul Master who hid behind and sought pleasure!"

"If you're so capable, go deal with the ferocious beasts yourself!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned extremely unpleasant.

Tang San, fiercely protective of his master, having just emerged from Slaughter City, couldn't control his killing intent and immediately enveloped Shao Xin.

"Xiao San!"

Finally, Liu Erlong reprimanded him.

Only then did Tang San reluctantly refrain from attacking.

However.

Shao Xin retorted forcefully.

"This old man knows that Shrek Academy and Lin Xiao are at odds, and that's why the Dean was unhappy earlier, which is why I specifically avoided mentioning Lin Xiao and Poison Douluo."

"But this old man's eyes are still on his face, and he can see right from wrong!"

"My conscience will not allow insignificant people to slander the heroic Soul Masters on the front lines!"

Tang San heard this and immediately retorted angrily.

"They are merely mere ferocious beasts!"

"When I grow up, I will destroy them with a flick of my finger! I will bring everlasting peace to the Continent!"

Shao Xin let out a cold laugh and said no more.

Finally, Flender suppressed the emotions in his heart and sighed.

"Old Shao, I shouldn't have lost my temper."

"You don't need to hold back, tell us about the performances of Lin Xiao and Dugu Bo in this battle."

Yu Xiaogang and Tang San did not refuse.

They both knew that Flender's words were not a sign of submission, but rather an attempt to gather information about Poison Douluo and Lin Xiao.

Shao Xin's expression slightly softened, and he said.

"In this battle, the Ye Family Head of the Nine Hearted Begonia family not only assisted Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo in battle but also rescued countless soldiers and Soul Masters."

"Lin Xiao participated in the battle against the Hell Demon Dragon King Zi Ji, and later struggled alone with Zi Ji, delaying time. At the Soul Saint realm, he displayed combat power comparable to that of a Titled Douluo."

Upon hearing this.

Everyone present was stunned!

Even Liu Erlong's red lips parted, so round that an egg could fit into them!

Soul Saint?

On par with Titled Douluo?

Flender, who had been imposing and determined to fight Lin Xiao to the death just moments ago, had his pupils lose focus.

Yu Xiaogang murmured in disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"He was only a Soul King during the Soul Master Competition. How could he have become a Soul Saint in two years?"

Shao Xin didn't pay them any mind.

He continued.

"The most astonishing of all was the Poison Douluo!"

"Nearly single-handedly, he annihilated tens of thousands of Soul Beasts!"

"Beneath his Poison Array, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!"

The Shrek Academy members, who had been celebrating moments before, now fell into a deathly silence.

The quiet was so profound you could hear a pin drop.
