Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 110 Incompatible Values
……

"This is beef, but it's been marinated with a lot of special fruit seasonings," Ning Rongrong quickly said, seeing Xiao Wu's tearful expression.

"Ah?" Xiao Wu looked at Ning Rongrong with teary eyes.

"Really?"

“Of course, the food at Yuexuan is exceptionally delicious, but Yuexuan also has many rules, and its products are extremely difficult to buy. Moreover, it doesn't sell to outsiders. You have to know the people inside and have a certain relationship with them to get these good products. This dried meat must have been made by the owner of the pavilion himself,” Ning Rongrong said.

"You can tell from that?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.

"Look at the box." Ning Rongrong shook the exquisite packaging box in her hand. The box was printed with beautiful patterns, and it was obviously not an ordinary product.

“My father used to bring gifts from Yuexuan. This kind of packaging is only used by the owner of the pavilion.”

"However, the Master rarely makes things himself; usually only special guests can get such things."

“I have two more boxes,” Xuanming said.

Ning Rongrong's eye twitched. "You shouldn't be considered a guest."

Xuanming is so handsome, and he is known for being smart and obedient in Yuexuan. The master of the pavilion practically dotes on him like his own child.

Dugu Yan had told her that for the first two years, Xuanming went to Yuexuan to study etiquette by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, but in the following years, going to Yuexuan was like going home, and she would go there on her own when it was time!
However, she could understand. After all, her father had taken her to Yuexuan a few times. The master of the pavilion was indeed a very good person. Xuanming's cultivation was so tiring, so going to Yuexuan was one of the few times he could relax.

"arrive."

After a while, Xuanming and his group arrived at the depths of Shrek Academy, led by Dai Mubai. In a vacant lot of only about 200 square meters, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties was sitting in a chair and dozing off.

"Teacher Zhao, I've brought people to the fourth round of the assessment." Dai Mubai stepped forward and woke Zhao Wuji.

"Hmm?" Zhao Wuji opened his eyes, looking at so many people in front of him with some surprise. But when he saw Xuan Ming with his peculiar figure and A Rou who looked to be over twenty years old, his expression changed again.

"Why did the family members come along too? Xiaobai, didn't you tell them they had to wait outside for the results?"

"This is an entrance exam; how can parents accompany their children into the exam room?"

"Teacher Zhao, I... couldn't stop him," Dai Mubai said somewhat guiltily.

"Can't stop them?" Zhao Wuji frowned.

"What, are they going to force their way into Shrek Academy?"

“It’s not that I’m forcing my way in…” Dai Mubai simply couldn’t bring himself to speak.

He had fought Xuanming before, so how could he dare to stop this guy?

"Whether we force our way in or not doesn't matter anymore. Now, we're going to conduct the fourth test. Apart from the applicants, family members, please leave and wait outside the academy," Zhao Wuji said, standing up.

"Something that can't be seen by others?" Xuanming asked casually.

Zhao Wuji was taken aback, a flash of anger crossing his eyes. His soul power fluctuated slightly, and a powerful sense of oppression swept over him. "Boy, what did you say? Shrek Academy's assessments have always been fair. How can you say it's something you can't do? If you spout any more nonsense, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Since there's nothing shameful about it, why can't we look?" Xuanming's expression remained unchanged.

"You brought all your aunts and uncles into the exam room for your family's entrance exam?" Zhao Wuji was speechless.

The fourth test is a practical combat ability test. Soul Masters' battles are not child's play. Shrek Academy has never refused to let family members watch the test process before. However, when those family members see their children fall or bump into something, they immediately start yelling!
So easily startled!

Some parents are even more outrageous; they see a little blood and immediately shout "murder!" How the hell are we supposed to conduct assessments like this?

Seeing that Zhao Wuji was getting impatient, Dai Mubai quickly explained, "The fourth test is a practical assessment. During the assessment, Soul Masters will go all out, and they may get injured if they are not careful. If family members are nearby and startle the candidates, it will only distract them. That's why the academy stipulates that family members cannot be present during the assessment."

Xuanming remained silent.

He was thinking about what legitimate reason he could use to beat up Tang San.
Maybe not.

He's not crazy. He doesn't just suddenly jump out for no reason, knowing that the other person is no match for him, yet still going up to challenge them in a bullying manner.

But if we don't beat up Tang San, how can we lure out Tang Hao?

Are we supposed to stay at Shrek Academy for one night, and then go directly to Tang Hao when he beats up Zhao Wuji?
Seeing that Xuanming did not answer, Zhao Wuji, who also had a fiery temper, stomped his foot lightly, and the ground shook violently. Two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings slowly rose up, and a huge pressure spread outwards. Even Dai Mubai, who was standing next to him, was pushed back several meters by this pressure.

"I'll say it one last time, family members, please wait outside," Zhao Wuji said.

Xuanming snapped out of his daze, looked at Zhao Wuji, raised his right hand, his soul power surged, dark blood-red lightning flashed, and he slammed the blood spear into the ground. Four soul rings, yellow, purple, and black, rose and swirled, blocking the pressure from the other side.

"What!" Zhao Wuji's expression tightened.

Yellow, purple, purple, and black? What the hell is this spirit ring combination?
Tang San and his companions, who were also seeing this scene for the first time, were a little confused, especially Tang San.

The second spirit ring lasts a thousand years, the fourth spirit ring ten thousand years? How is that possible?

"It seems you're not a guest at Shrek Academy." Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, his soul power fluctuations growing stronger, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble slightly.

Xuanming didn't say anything. He originally thought that this world should still have some civilization, but after living here for so many years, he has come to a deep understanding of the rules of this Soul Master world.

Interactions between Soul Masters are very simple; there's no logic to it, and no right or wrong to speak of. If you have to say something, strength or weakness is the only measure of right and wrong.

If someone is strong enough, even if they kill someone for no reason, everyone will think that the person was stupid and must have offended the strong person at some point.

This is what Soul Masters think, this is what ordinary people think, this is what powerful people think, and this is what weak people think.

His attitude towards Qian Renxue was no longer as resistant as before, partly because he had come to understand these issues.

In the past, he subconsciously judged the people he faced with by the moral etiquette of his former civilized society, but after seeing the basic rules of this world, he realized how naive and ignorant he had been.

The reason he had so many conflicts with Qian Renxue in the past was not because Qian Renxue did anything wrong, but because he misunderstood something.

There was no inequality between them.

The one who's wrong isn't Qian Renxue, it's him.

Because he is weak, everything he does is wrong.

Qian Renxue was born to stand at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent; she stood at the absolutely correct height.

He judges right and wrong by morality, while Qian Renxue defines right and wrong by strength and weakness.

They have different values, and he is unwilling to conform to Qian Renxue's values, so they cannot communicate with each other.

Therefore, he gave up on communication and chose silence.

If he wants to change this right and wrong, he must first make himself absolutely right!
