Chapter 25 Is Being Afraid of Trouble a Sign of Mediocrity?
"Being afraid of trouble is mediocrity? I think it's just looking for trouble, bullying the weak and fearing the strong,"
Lan Minghua muttered to himself, offering no further comment.
After all, the law of the Soul Master world is the survival of the fittest.
Tang San, sensing that Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were deliberately targeting Oscar, immediately chimed in.
"Yes, being afraid of trouble is mediocrity. Unlike someone, weak and incompetent."
Hearing this, Oscar clenched his fists, his anger burning.
At first, he also thought this statement was correct, after all, it was what Flander had said.
But after becoming Lan Minghua's disciple, he felt this statement was wrong.
Being afraid of trouble is mediocrity?
Did Dean Flander dare to provoke a Title Douluo?
Obviously not.
On the contrary, Oscar believed that the statement Lan Minghua mentioned in the letter, "
Not being envied is mediocrity,"
contained the true wisdom.
And that statement, "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either."
Oscar glanced coldly at Tang San and his companions,
then ignored them, closing his eyes to avoid seeing them. Dai Mubai and the other two were helpless; they had no reason to attack Oscar.
Upstairs, Lan Minghua found Tang San's statement, "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre," utterly laughable.
As a disciple of the Tang Sect, he had forgotten the Tang Sect's rules.
One of the core rules was: "No Tang Sect disciple should easily provoke trouble."
(Don't argue with me if you say that's not true; go search it on Baidu yourself. And don't say I'm taking things out of context; the second half is: "But if anyone actively infringes upon this rule, they will be met with thunderous retribution.")
Wasn't Tang San a disciple of the Tang Sect?
Hadn't he always abided by
the Tang Sect's rules? How could he have forgotten the core rules now?
Or had he simply forgotten them all these years ago?
But how could Tang San forget?
There was one line in the Tang Sect's rules that he remembered very clearly,
one he always spoke of: "You have already chosen your own death!"
When those two sentences came out of his mouth, his double-standard persona was unmistakable.
He provoked a passerby: "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."
A passerby provoked him: "You've already met your demise."
Thinking of Tang San's double-standard behavior, Lan Minghua couldn't help but chuckle.
Zhao Wuji, standing beside him, was completely bewildered, not understanding who Lan Minghua was laughing at.
Lan Minghua wasn't entirely satisfied with Oscar's actions.
When someone steps on your head and defecates or urinates on you, you have to fight back.
However, being able to endure it was a sign of growth.
After all, in the original story, it was Oscar who told Tang San the phrase "Those who dare not cause trouble are mediocre."
Now, as Lan Minghua's disciple, even if his values weren't perfectly upright, at least they weren't as warped as before.
The people from Canghui Academy sat down, and the middle-aged teacher whispered something in the ear of one of the young men.
Lan Minghua knew that the show was about to begin.
"Old Zhao, unless I tell you to, you absolutely cannot make a move, understand?"
"Understood." Zhao Wuji replied. Even if he wanted to, he might not be able to do so under Lan Minghua's nose.
The young man from Canghui Academy stood up and walked straight towards Dai Mubai and his companions.
Just then, the waiter brought over the dishes Dai Mubai had ordered and also headed towards him.
The young man from Canghui Academy suddenly quickened his pace, pretending to accidentally bump into the waiter.
This caused the scalding hot dish, still steaming, to come straight at Dai Mubai's face.
Dai Mubai sneered, just looking for a place to vent his anger! He
sidestepped the falling dish and slapped out.
The young man from Canghui Academy didn't expect Dai Mubai to attack so directly, and had no chance to react.
Before the dish even hit the ground, his chest was struck solidly by the palm.
Dai Mubai hadn't held back with this slap, and the young man's face changed drastically. With a "whoosh," he spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
"I'm so sorry, I was trying to swat away the falling food, but I accidentally hurt someone."
Dai Mubai feigned an apology, but his words were full of disdain and contempt, offering no real remorse.
Almost everyone in the restaurant was a Soul Master, and they scoffed at Dai Mubai's words.
That slap had clearly been imbued with powerful Soul Force.
However, minding their own business, they stepped aside to avoid being caught in the crossfire. How could the students of Canghui Academy possibly tolerate this? Their leader, a teacher, coldly said, "Arrogant brat, all of you go up and teach him a lesson!"
Lan Minghua, on the second floor, shook his head.
Sending those weaklings forward without even figuring out the opponent's soul power was just suicide.
Dai Mubai was a level 37 Soul Master, possessing the powerful attack-type beast spirit, the White Tiger.
The students of Canghui Academy were all level 20+ Great Soul Masters, and their spirit spirits were incredibly weak.
Although they also possessed beast spirits, they were all relatively weak in attack power—deer, horse, and sheep.
Their spirit ring configurations were even more appalling; some even had white, ten-year spirit rings.
"Is this what students from advanced soul master academies are like? Their first spirit ring is only ten years old!"
Dai Mubai's disdain deepened as he mocked, two yellow and one purple spirit rings pulsating around him.
"A thousand-year spirit ring?!" The students of Canghui Academy exclaimed in surprise.
However, Dai Mubai didn't care about that. As his third spirit ring lit up, he launched a sneak attack.
With the enhancement of the White Tiger Vajra Transformation, Dai Mubai was incredibly powerful.
In a mere instant, the stunned students from Canghui Academy were sent flying backward, coughing up blood, their strength waning on the ground.
Dai Mubai scoffed, "What? Is this all the students of the academy are capable of? I'm truly disappointed."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu, a teacher from Canghui Academy, had veins bulging on his forehead, his anger barely contained.
Initially, seeing Dai Mubai's spirit ring configuration, he had intended to let the matter drop.
However, he never expected Dai Mubai to be so ruthless, completely disregarding Canghui Academy.
If they didn't salvage their reputation, Canghui Advanced Spirit Master Academy would become a laughingstock.
Ye Zhiqiu felt that even if he was ridiculed for bullying the weak, he had to seek justice.
After all, it all started because of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun's foul mouth.
"Boy, don't be so arrogant!"
Ye Zhiqiu's spirit power surged, and five spirit rings—one white, two yellow, and two purple—appeared beneath his feet.
His spirit was a Xuan Turtle.
With a single step, he shot towards Dai Mubai like a cannonball.
Although the Xuan Turtle Martial Soul wasn't fast, he was still a genuine Soul King.
Even at his slowest, he wasn't much slower than a Soul Venerable.
Dai Mubai was startled, not expecting the Canghui Academy teacher to attack directly.
He quickly activated the White Tiger Protective Shield to block Ye Zhi Qiu's attack.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zhi Qiu's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed his third Soul Skill, Xuan Water Surge.
Instantly, a black column of water shot from his mouth, attacking Dai Mubai.
The intense chill instantly lowered the restaurant's temperature considerably.
With a boom, he was instantly blasted out of the hotel entrance by the water column. He
crashed heavily to the ground, covered in mud, looking utterly disheveled, like a beggar.
Without the help of Ma Hongjun and the others, it was clearly unrealistic for Dai Mubai to challenge a Soul King beyond his level.
"Boss Dai!"
Everything happened too fast; even Ma Hongjun and Tang San didn't have time to react.
This time, Ye Zhi Qiu looked at Ma Hong Jun and the others with disdain and provoked them, "Don't say I'm bullying a kid, all of you come at me together!"
"You old bastard, you actually ambushed Boss Dai, you're shameless!"
But Ma Hong Jun forgot that Dai Mu Bai had also ambushed someone from Cang Hui Academy before.
Ye Zhi Qiu was just giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had a good relationship with Dai Mu Bai, so they stood up, ready to attack Ye Zhi Qiu.
However, Oscar and Zhu Zhu Qing remained unmoved, and Ning Rong Rong wavered. But
when Ye Zhi Qiu heard the word "bastard," he was like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on, and he flew into a rage.
"You little brats, let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your teacher, what it means to respect your teachers!"
In an instant, the Soul King's soul power swept across the restaurant.
This time, he would attack without any scruples, determined to teach Ma Hong Jun and the others a lesson!
Lan Ming Hua's lips curled up slightly, also wanting to know if Tang San and the others could fight a Soul King.
"The show isn't over yet!"
