Douluo Continent: Starting by nuking Shrek Academy

Chapter 3 exposes Tang San's hypocrisy.

Faced with the curiosity, attention, and ridicule of the crowd.

Yuan Lang remained calm.

If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't be able to find any flaws in Tang San. After all, he hides them very well, and everyone who knew about his hypocrisy and double standards is dead.

But Yuan Lang is different; he's a time traveler!

Is there anything in this world that he doesn't know?

Although he is a special forces soldier, who says special forces soldiers can't watch anime?

He had watched Douluo Continent countless times, and he could recite Tang San's glorious deeds by heart.

Since Tang San doesn't mind, why should he mind?

"Alright, I'll ask you this: have you ever killed anyone?"

Instead of answering Tang San's question directly, Yuan Lang asked a different question.

"What!? Kill, kill someone?"

"No way! Tang San is only 12 years old. How could he have killed someone at that age?"

"Probably not."

……

The moment Yuan Lang spoke, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun all turned to look at Tang San, with Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun instinctively taking a step back.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were alright, after all, they came from the Star Luo Empire, a country founded on martial arts, where royal infighting was cruel. It was because he didn't want to die that he escaped.

He has certainly killed people.

But others are different.

Although Ma Hongjun's martial soul is a mutated evil fire phoenix, which often goes out of control, at most it will burn down houses.

Ning Rongrong is the only daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Although he was mischievous, unruly, and often played pranks, he never actually committed murder.

As for the Oscars, I'm just an ordinary person.

With the addition of the food-based martial spirit, it has no offensive power whatsoever, and even if it wanted to kill someone, it couldn't.

It can be said that before graduating from the academy and joining a faction, there is basically no opportunity to kill, and very few people start killing.

Logically speaking, Tang San, who comes from a village and seems so innocent, shouldn't have killed anyone.

However, Yuan Lang's immediate question surprised them.

Could it be that Tang San really killed someone?

Even Dean Flander narrowed his gaze as he looked at Tang San.

He only killed someone for the first time after graduating and going out to make his way in the world. If Tang San had already done it, then that would be incredible.

This kid is definitely not an ordinary person.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with some surprise. Tang San didn't seem as kind as she had imagined.

"So what if you've killed someone?"

In this world where strength reigns supreme, there are many killers.

Moreover, I can guarantee that those who were killed all had a reason for their deaths.

Tang San saw that everyone was looking at him with fear in their eyes and knew something was wrong.

I considered lying, but then I thought that if I lied about this, I might fall right into Yuan Lang's trap.

After careful consideration, he felt that given the dog-eat-dog mentality and the principle of strength above all else in this world, murder was a daily occurrence and shouldn't be considered a serious problem.

If Yuan Lang judges Yuan Lang's character based solely on this, he would be making a grave mistake.

Moreover, those he killed all had ways of dying, which made him more noble than others.

"The law of the world is that the strong prey on the weak. Even if Tang San really killed someone, it doesn't mean he's hypocritical and hypocritical!"

Flanders, having been through it all, had already been thoroughly beaten down by the world.

Murder is already commonplace for them.

They've even become numb to it.

To call Tang San hypocritical and hypocritical simply because he killed someone is going too far.

“Indeed, I have killed people, but that doesn’t prove anything,” Dai Mubai stepped forward and said.

I wondered why Yuan Lang had a problem with Tang San, but it turns out it was simply because he had killed someone!

As a prince of the Star Luo Empire, he also had many lives on his hands.

On the battlefield, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself, but this does not mean that a person is a bad person.

“That’s right, Xiao San said they were all people who deserved to die. Xiao San was acting on behalf of Heaven, so there’s nothing to criticize.” Xiao Wu also spoke up for Tang San.

Although she was surprised that Tang San had indeed killed people, she trusted him completely. She believed in Tang San's character and that he would never indiscriminately kill innocent people.

"I remember when the gatekeeper of Notting Soul Master Academy only questioned your identity, you raised your crossbow to shoot him!"

Is this what you mean by "acting on behalf of Heaven"—is there a way to die for it?

If I remember correctly, even if you want to kill a soul beast, you have to give it a reason for its death!

You can deny it, but the soul of the Mandragora Serpent is still within you.

Yuan Lang began to speak calmly.

This guy was only 6 years old when he entered Notting Soul Master Academy. He wanted to kill someone because the gatekeeper was rude and insulted his village.

Is this his way of courting death?

The most outrageous thing is that Tang San treats both killing people and beasts as if they have committed some heinous crime.

Let's not even talk about humans, it's absurd that monsters can also have a way to die.

If you are stronger than your opponent, killing them to obtain their soul ring is perfectly acceptable.

But on the one hand, you are lenient with yourself, believing that whatever you do is right, and that killing anyone is justified and beyond reproach.

But they apply a completely different set of standards to others. If something doesn't align with their own interests, it's considered a failure to meet the sage's requirements and a path to certain death. This is a double standard.

Just like the beautiful country in his previous life, he sets very low standards for himself, and can even claim to be protecting others by driving tanks to bomb other people's homes every day.

But for others, they have saintly standards and nitpick.

A single complaint is considered wrong, intolerable to Heaven and Earth, and the perpetrator will claim to represent justice and eliminate you.

There's no such thing as black and white in this world. If you want to enter a school, and the gatekeeper has been doing this for five years and has never encountered a person born with full soul power, is it a problem if they have some doubts?

Letting you in directly would be irresponsible!

His requirement was that the gatekeeper must be a saint, able to immediately discern that his proof was genuine and let him in.

Otherwise, they are bad people who have a way of courting death.

If this isn’t double standards, what is?

And the same goes for spirit beasts; you've already invaded their territory.

As a local spirit beast, is it wrong for it to defend its own territory?

They even demanded that this spirit beast understand that you weren't going in to kill it, but rather that you were just passing by and preparing to hunt other spirit beasts.

You're kidding me! If that were true, why would you absorb someone's soul ring after killing the Mandragora Serpent?

Isn't this just tempting someone's soul?

This wasn't the last time he'd done this; he'd been doing it the whole way.

His eighth soul skill's soul ring is particularly iconic.

The orca king had no grudge against him, and he had no reason to hunt it.

The other party, in the end, still used a demonic orca king to wreak havoc on the area and then killed it.

This world isn't a primary school student's world; there aren't so many black-and-white issues.

If you're after someone else's spirit rings, just say so! Why make it sound so high and mighty?

This only makes people feel disgusted.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Tang San was speechless. His eyes narrowed, and his gaze toward Yuan Lang was like a blade.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.

He never imagined that even his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, hadn't discovered his secret back then.

How did Yuan Lang, who wasn't even present at the time, know this?

What's even more terrifying is that this guy seems to know what he was thinking, like a tapeworm in his stomach. That's really scary.

"This is definitely a double standard. According to this standard, from now on, if you don't like someone, you can just say that he has a way to die."

"Seriously! They even make killing a soul beast a way to die? That's such a double standard!"

"I sold him sausages yesterday, I hope he won't hold a grudge and put me on his death list."

"Damn, I just fought with him yesterday. I hope he doesn't secretly use a hidden weapon on me tonight!"

……

When Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Ning Rongrong, and Ma Hongjun learned that Tang San was about to kill the gatekeeper because of a quarrel, they all panicked and took several steps back to keep their distance from Tang San.

It is normal for conflicts to occur between people in daily life.

However, it's dangerous if someone around you is willing to kill you over a trivial argument.

Who knew that they had offended Tang San and been listed as someone destined for death?

Thinking of the ruthless use of hidden weapons he employed when dealing with Zhao Wuji, they realized that if he were to resort to underhanded tactics, they would be truly unable to defend against it.
