Chương 118: You are taking revenge on wrong person
"Um..."
At this moment, Ma Hongjun hesitated. Judging by his expression, his mouth was slightly open as if he wanted to say something but held back.
Everyone present knew what kind of person Ma Hongjun was.
He was someone who always spoke his mind!
So, seeing him act like this left everyone a little puzzled.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at him and said, "Ma Hongjun, do you have a question?"
If there was a question, he could bring it up. When it came to knowledge about martial spirits, there was almost nothing Yu Xiaogang didn't know.
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Uh, Master..."
As he spoke, Ma Hongjun tried to make his tone as tactful as possible.
This Master was his teacher's close brother. If he spoke too bluntly, it wouldn't be good.
"Xiao Feilian still has two purple and three black spirit rings even without that sword..."
Without the sword, was Xiao Feilian any less powerful?
She didn't even need a second move to defeat Dai Mubai.
Revenge? With what?
Moreover, if his guess was correct, Xiao Feilian's teammates were most likely Yu Tianheng and the others.
Though Yu Tianheng and his group had been defeated by the Shrek Seven Devils, they were not weak at all!
She was Soul king-level powerhouses with two purple and three black spirit rings. How could a group of Soul Ancestor and Soul Elder hope to defeat them?
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Yu Xiaogang was stunned and fell into deep thought.
What Ma Hongjun said seemed to make a lot of sense.
Even without using that sword, was Xiao Feilian weak?
There was one thing he had to admit: it was that sword's overwhelming strength that had led him into a misunderstanding, where he focused solely on the sword.
Dai Mubai, Tang San, and the others were also stunned. The smiles on their faces gradually froze and slowly disappeared.
Their expressions became increasingly serious.
They had thought they had found a way to defeat Xiao Feilian, but now it seemed they were merely a joke.
Soul elders against a spirit king?
And a Soul king with two purple and three black rings at that!
Even if they didn't consider her teammates' strength, defeating her would not be an easy task.
The Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament was only a year and a half away, and in that time, the only one who had a chance of breaking through to the Soul ancestor level was Dai Mubai.
The others had no confidence in breaking through to the spirit ancestor level before the tournament.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ma Hongjun had only recently broken through to the spirit elder level.
Whether they could even reach level 35 before the tournament was still in question...
"I didn't consider this carefully enough."
After a long pause, Yu Xiaogang finally spoke slowly.
When he was wrong, he acknowledged it. However, as he admitted his mistake, he gave Ma Hongjun a couple of extra glances.
This made Ma Hongjun feel a chill down his spine.
"Well, having such a strong opponent can give you more motivation to train."
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, a cold voice interrupted.
"Master, Xiao Feilian was never an enemy."
Everyone instinctively turned toward the source of the voice.
The voice was so cold that they didn't even need to look to know who it was.
"Zhu Zhuqing, are you out of your mind?"
"Xiao Feilian injured Boss Dai and Brother San like that, and you're saying she's not an enemy!"
"If she doesn't count as an enemy, then what does?"
Ning Rongrong, almost instinctively, yelled at Zhu Zhuqing.
She had even been put in confinement because of Xiao Feilian, and now she wasn't considered an enemy?
Was Zhu Zhuqing joking?
"Heh, that's just your one-sided thinking."
Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "When did Xiao Feilian ever provoke you?"
Enemy?
Even if these people banded together, would they be worthy?
As if thinking of something, Zhu Zhuqing turned to look at Dai Mubai in the distance, her face frosty. She said coldly, "Dai Mubai, if you hadn't provoked her first, would you have gotten hurt?"
"You know it in your heart, Xiao Feilian may have humiliated you, but your injuries are only minor."
"That just shows she's kind-hearted. What she did was merely to help her mentor vent some frustration."
Everyone instinctively glanced at Dai Mubai. Thinking back, it seemed like he really hadn't been hurt all that badly.
Wait a minute, something's not right!
Xiao Feilian had humiliated Dai Mubai — wasn't that enough?
It was *humiliation*!
Compared to physical injury, humiliation was the real damage, right?
"Zhu Zhuqing, you're really insane!"
"If it were just an injury, when would I, Dai Mubai, ever frown? This was a humiliation in front of all the soul masters of the world!"
Dai Mubai's anger flared as he shouted at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Kind-hearted? If she were kind-hearted, how could she humiliate me like that!"
"Dai Mubai, if you hadn't walked right into it, do you think she would bother humiliating you for no reason?"
Zhu Zhuqing gave Dai Mubai a cold glance and continued, "We've been in Heaven Dou City for quite some time now. Has Xiao Feilian ever come to Shrek Academy to humiliate you?"
Everyone was speechless at Zhu Zhuqing's counterargument. They wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
"If you want revenge, I won't stop you, nor do I have the right to. But I won't participate."
"Are you even a student of Shrek anymore?"
"I don't have to be."
Zhu Zhuqing crossed her arms and looked slightly to the side, showing no regard for Flender, who stood not far away.
A student of Shrek?
Who cared...
"Fine, fine, fine..."
Dai Mubai was so enraged that he laughed, clapping his hands and repeating "fine" several times.
Suddenly, as if something occurred to him, he continued, "I can forget about my grudge, I can pretend she never humiliated me, but what about Tang San?"
"His spirit bone was destroyed, his second martial spirit shattered — this kind of deep grudge, tell me, why shouldn't we seek revenge?"
Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and the others nodded. Dai Mubai had hit the crucial point.
It could be said that Dai Mubai's defeat was due to his own weakness, so being humiliated was understandable.
But Tang San was different. Compared to Dai Mubai, his situation was much worse.
He had been bedridden for a month and a half before he could even move again.
But... wasn't Tang San's fate self-inflicted?
"As for Tang San, I have no comment. All I can say is this: the person you hate is the wrong one."
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent. Whether they listened to her or not no longer mattered to her.
In any case, she would never go against anyone connected to Zhongli. That would be no different from seeking death.
After all, Zhongli was the Morax, the Lord of Rock!
"???"
The wrong person to hate?
What did that mean?
Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing in confusion and instinctively asked, "Zhu Zhuqing, can you make yourself clear?"
"Xiao Feilian destroyed my external spirit bone and shattered my second martial spirit — this kind of grudge..."
"Is it greater than the grudge of having your mother killed?"
"!!!"
Boom!
It was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day, striking not only Tang San's heart but also the hearts of everyone present.
The word "mother" felt somewhat foreign to Tang San.
But a mother's murder...
Tang San trembled all over, staring at Zhu Zhuqing in disbelief. What exactly did she know?
Even Dai Mubai was stunned.
Tang San's mother was murdered?
Why hadn't he known about this?
"I've always been a bit of a loner, so when I had nothing to do, I liked to read old records."
"About thirteen years ago, something major happened on the Douluo Continent."
