Considering all that's been said, the question I want to ask you is, was Qin Xiao the one who fought Teacher Zhou?"
There's no doubt that Teacher Fan Yu had conducted a serious investigation and analysis. Don't let him say that this is just speculation; he has actually deduced the truth.
"This..."
Wang Dong really didn't know how to begin.
However.
He didn't need to speak, for Teacher Fan Yu had already found the answer he sought from him.
His expression turned somewhat frenzied, and he incessantly muttered, "Just as I thought, just as I thought. It really is Qin Xiao!"
"Teacher, I think you should still remain calm. Even if we're sure that Qin Xiao is that person, what of it?
This is the Sun-Moon Imperial Soul Guidance Academy, Qin Xiao's stronghold. This isn't the place to seek justice for Teacher Zhou by taking action."
Seeing the situation, He Caitou quickly interjected to persuade him.
He did not want Teacher Fan Yu to do anything foolish.
However, Teacher Fan Yu was very determined, "This Qin Xiao, I must kill him to quell the hatred in my heart.
Besides, Qin Xiao is at most a Fifth Grade Soul Master who, relying on powerful Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons, may have the combat ability of a Sixth-Level Soul Guidance Master. But I am already an Eighth-level Soul Master, and I have absolute confidence that I can eliminate him!"
His mind was set, and not even eight horses could pull him back.
Exterminate the Qin traitor and avenge his wife.
"Teacher Fan Yu, you must think twice before you act, right?"
Seeing this, Wang Dong also hurriedly tried to dissuade Teacher Fan Yu.
Both publicly and privately, he had to stop Teacher Fan Yu from going up against Qin Xiao.
Firstly, as the team leader of Shrek Academy, if he were to harm a genius student from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, it would undoubtedly have a very negative impact. Would Shrek Academy's students still be able to get away then?
Each and everyone would have to face the consequences!
Secondly, Qin Xiao had helped him time and again, and his heart was filled with gratitude.
In his heart, he had already regarded Qin Xiao as his benefactor.
Moreover, he currently needed Qin Xiao's help to craft a soul tool that could counteract the curse in his body.
If Teacher Fan Yu really caused any trouble, his soul guidance device would likely be out of reach.
He could not allow such a thing to happen.
"Bang!"
However, Teacher Fan Yu was also very angry. He suddenly stood up and slammed the table, "Look at you, one by one. What a bunch of cowards you've all become?
What is the teaching principle of Shrek Academy? Do you still remember?"
He Caitou immediately lowered his head.
Wang Dong's gaze also flickered, avoiding looking at Teacher Fan Yu.
"What are you hiding for? He Caitou, you say it!"
In the face of Teacher Fan Yu's aggression, He Caitou weakly said, "Those who don't dare to cause trouble are all mediocrities..."
"You actually remember, huh!"
Teacher Fan Yu coldly said, "Going after Qin Xiao isn't entirely an impulsive idea. Do you know how talented he is? He's very likely to become a Rank Ten Spirit Guidance Master in the future. Such a formidable person is something Shrek Academy has no time to contend with.
If by sacrificing myself I can eliminate such a menace, I would be more than willing. Most importantly, we only have a chance while he hasn't grown strong. Once he becomes an Eighth-level Soul Master, it'll be too late."
"But Teacher, being an Eighth-level Soul Master isn't the pinnacle, why would it be too late then..." He Caitou didn't agree with Teacher Fan Yu's words.
But he also didn't dare to refute Teacher Fan Yu loudly.
"Hmph, you think you deserve to be called a genius?"
Teacher Fan Yu gave He Caitou a disdainful look, but still explained, "Given Qin Xiao's talent, it's no problem for him to use soul tools beyond his level.
Once he becomes an Eighth-level Soul Master, he would be able to freely use Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Devices. And you might not have seen what a Ninth-grade Soul Guidance Device can do, but you must have heard of their power, right?
If we give him a chance, a regular Titled Douluo would be as good as dead before him. And with the protection of strong fighters by his side, where would we find an opportunity to kill him?"
"Ah, this..."
After hearing this, He Caitou smacked his lips, at a loss for words.
Teacher Fan Yu was right. If they really gave Qin Xiao the chance to grow to that extent, there would truly be no opportunity left.
"But what about you, what will you do?"
"There will always be a way at the foot of the mountain, if not a way to live, then a way to die. As long as I can kill Qin Xiao, I will be content. Life and death are of no importance to me!"
Teacher Fan Yu was resolute.
He knew exactly what he wanted.
Seeing that both Wang Dong and Cai Tou had stopped speaking, Teacher Fanyu's expression softened a bit, "Now quickly pack your things and leave this place. Once I take action, not many of us from Shrek Academy will be able to leave."
"However, in order not to affect the normal operation of the plan, not too many people can know what I want to do..."
"We understand."
Cai Tou nodded and quickly started packing.
Wang Dong was more direct, "Teacher, take care of yourself, I'll be leaving first."
"Go, and I hope we'll have the day to meet again." Teacher Fanyu waved his hand with a smile, as if bidding Wang Dong a final farewell.
Wang Dong nodded silently and slowly left.
However, as soon as he left the laboratory, he sprinted all the way to the laboratory where Qin Xiao was.
What bloody plan?
What did it have to do with him?
The rise and fall of Shrek had nothing to do with him at all.
He, Wang Dong, was the successor of the Hao Tian Clan and would eventually return to the clan. He had never felt much belonging to Shrek Academy.
But, whether he should say it or not, Teacher Fanyu's words and actions still moved Wang Dong.
But being moved didn't fill his stomach or solve the problem of his curse.
So, without needing to weigh his options too much, Wang Dong knew which side he should be on.
Qin Xiao absolutely must not come to harm.
"Ding ding ding."
The laboratory door was knocked, and Ju Zi couldn't help muttering, "Is it Ke Ke who forgot her keys again? Always so scatterbrained, when will she ever learn."
She shook her head but still went to the door.
However, when she opened the door and clearly saw the figure outside, she was immediately shocked, "It's you..."
Wang Dong was momentarily startled, "You know me?"
Ju Zi nodded, "A drowned chicken!"
Wang Dong: "..."
Is calling someone a drowned chicken how people in the Sun-Moon Empire greet strangers?
Ju Zi suddenly changed her words, "Oh, no, are you the big fool then?"
Wang Dong: "..."
Who was calling who a big fool?
Ever since he was young, he had always been praised by Big Daddy and Second Daddy for being clever and nimble. How could he possibly be a big fool?
Remembering what Qin Xiao had instructed her, Ju Zi didn't go into further detail.
She waved her hand, "Oh, forget it, forget it, I don't know you. Just tell me what you're here for."
"We don't know each other to begin with, so there's no need to force a connection," Wang Dong said with a sudden seriousness, "I'm here to find Qin Xiao."
"Master Uncle is working on a soul tool and doesn't have time right now. Come back later," Ju Zi said, knowing there was a deal between the two and thus didn't push Wang Dong too hard.
Wang Dong insisted urgently, "That won't work, it might be too late after a while. I must see him and have him hide!"
"What happened? So urgent that you need my master uncle to hide?" Ju Zi was very puzzled.
"Telling you is useless, you can't stop it," Wang Dong said as he tried to barge into the laboratory.
But the next moment, a skinny middle-aged man stood in his way.
Xuan Ziwen gently pushed up his crystal glasses on his nose, "Then do you think you can tell me?"
"Who are you?" Wang Dong, not being a student of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Academy, obviously did not recognize the man before him.
Xuan Ziwen: "..."
He couldn't believe this guy didn't even recognize him?
Observing this, Ju Zi cleared her throat and introduced, "This is a teacher of the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Guidance Academy, a member of Mingde Hall, an Eighth-level Soul Master, Xuan Ziwen."
Wang Dong was somewhat dumbfounded, not expecting the man before him to be Xuan Ziwen.
He had seen books about soul masters at Shrek Academy that were written by Xuan Ziwen. Of course, they were all handwritten copies.
In other words, pirated versions.
