Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 162 Being in the Spirit Hall

"Chen Xuan, effective today, you are expelled from Shrek Academy. Do you have any objections?"

"I agree."

"I agree."

Before he could finish speaking, Flander, Liu Erlong, Tyrone, Oscar, and others said in unison.

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, these people interrupted and answered, which shows that their dissatisfaction and hatred towards Chen Xuan had been accumulating for a long time.

"What?"

"Fire Chen Xuan?"

The rest of the Shrek academy students stared wide-eyed in utter astonishment and elation, only to have their master expel Chen Xuan from the academy in front of so many people.

Some were delighted, while others were puzzled, not understanding why Yu Xiaogang would do such a thing.

Jiangzhu hesitated, but stopped herself from speaking. The dean, vice dean, and official team members all agreed, so what right did she, a substitute member, have to speak?

Zhu Zhuqing remained relatively calm, showing little surprise, as if she had expected it.

Born into a royal family, she had witnessed countless conspiracies, and these intrigues were child's play to her; she had a premonition of them all.

She wouldn't worry about Chen Xuan; there was no need. She knew Chen Xuan's current abilities well enough to know that he didn't need to rely on anyone. Whether or not Shrek Academy existed wouldn't affect its development. In fact, expelling Chen Xuan would be a loss for Shrek.

"What's Shrek up to?"

Inside the competition area, many people watched this scene. A few were puzzled, but most were speechless, thinking that they were crazy.

In front of the Papal Palace, on such a solemn occasion, Shrek didn't enjoy the joy of victory. Instead, he used this stage to announce something important, only to end up expelling a student.

In their view, this is no different from someone being brain-dead, a complete clown jumping around, as if they care about firing someone, which is pure nonsense.

Bibi Dong smiled. She had been worried that Chen Xuan was too loyal to Shrek Academy and unwilling to join the Spirit Hall, but Yu Xiaogang had indirectly resolved her concerns.

The three members of the Golden Generation, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena, were speechless; they had never seen anyone so pretentious.

They thought Yu Xiaogang was shameless, acting as if the Papal Palace was his own home, completely lacking any sense of occasion.

To be honest, it doesn't matter to Shrek Academy who they fire, and they don't care. True strong people don't depend on any power.

However, Yu Xiaogang went his own way. Feeling the attention from the outside world, he became even more pleased with himself, as this was exactly the effect he wanted.

He wanted to expel Chen Xuan in front of everyone and severely humiliate him.

Tyrone laughed smugly, "Chen Xuan, your skills came from Shrek Academy's tutelage, which allowed you to improve so rapidly. Now that you've been expelled from Shrek, without the guidance of the masters and deans, you're useless!"

"You are ungrateful, arrogant, and have repeatedly talked back to your teachers. You are haughty, domineering, and have injured your classmates. You brought all of this on yourself."

Yu Xiaogang chimed in, his face filled with disdain, and said coldly, "Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Blame it on your despicable behavior. As the High Court of Shrek Academy, we cannot tolerate such a scoundrel for even a moment!"

Yu Xiaogang smiled disdainfully, feeling incredibly relieved. He had finally gotten rid of this troublemaker; the feeling was more than just "satisfying."

"Are you done talking?" Chen Xuan asked expressionlessly.

Yu Xiaogang's laughter stopped abruptly, his brows furrowing as he asked, "What do you mean?"

Flander and Liu Erlong also frowned, feeling distressed. They had been fired, so why was the other party reacting like this? Shouldn't they have made a scene and begged for their forgiveness?

Tailong's face flushed red. He couldn't stand the same indifferent expression every time; his anger flared, and he roared, "Chen Xuan, what the hell are you pretending to be so high and mighty? Do you really think you're some kind of god without desires?!"

"I know you're in pain inside, and you're just putting on a brave face, but you insist on pretending everything's fine. Who are you trying to fool?"

"Idiots." Looking at these faces, Chen Xuan felt disgusted. He now knew what it meant to turn on someone faster than flipping through a book.

"Who are you calling an idiot!" Tyrone roared angrily, rubbing his fists together as if he wanted to punch someone.

"Chen Xuan, how could you swear? That's not right. Apologize to Tai Long right now!" Qin Ming earnestly advised.

Yu Xiaogang feigned a sigh and said in a serious tone, "Chen Xuan, I know you're very angry about being fired, but unfortunately, heaven is watching what people do, and you have to pay for the mistakes you've made."

"That's enough. Don't you feel disgusted with yourself?"

Chen Xuan scoffed, "Just because I call you a master a few times doesn't mean you really think you're a wise man. Don't use your underdeveloped brain to guess what other people are thinking. It only makes you look arrogant, clownish, and self-righteous."

"That's utter nonsense. You don't need to pretend. Leaving Shrek Academy was a huge blow to you, and everyone can understand that," Yu Xiaogang sneered.

After a long silence, Tang San couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Chen Xuan, you can criticize others, but you can't insult your teacher! Apologize to me immediately!"

Especially considering that Chen Xuan had been expelled and there might be few opportunities to contact him after this, he realized that he had to hurry. After today, he would be able to kill his opponent.

"Apologize?"

Chen Xuan found it amusing and said, "What, these days you have to apologize for telling the truth? Or are you getting angry because the stark facts have been revealed?"

"They're nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. Some of them broke through to Soul Master by relying on others' teachings, and they boast that their theories are the best on the continent. It's laughable. They can't even teach people properly, yet they call themselves masters and sages. They're shameless."

"What did you say!" Yu Xiaogang glared angrily, his face flushed red, almost turning warm.

Stagnation of his soul power at level 29 was a lifelong pain for him, subjecting him to ridicule from the world. But does that mean he was a waste? That's just taking things out of context!

Flander's face darkened, and he shouted, "Alright, Chen Xuan, stop talking. Xiao Gang is a theory teacher, so his soul power is naturally weaker, but he still taught Xiao San and the others very well. There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters."

"Hmm."

Chen Xuan immediately laughed, looking like he had just realized something, and said, "Oh, so there are no useless martial souls, only useless Yu Xiaogang, huh? I get it."

Pfft!

Many people in the competition area couldn't help but burst out laughing, and some even laughed openly, clearly amused.

"There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters." After a moment's thought, the powerful and wealthy discovered the contradiction in the statement. If there are no useless martial souls, then why did Yu Xiaogang remain stuck at level 29 for half his life?

This statement comes from Yu Xiaogang's theory, which made many people laugh, as it was the first time they had ever heard someone insult themselves.

Hearing the mocking laughter around him, Yu Xiaogang's face turned red, but he couldn't move his limbs and could only sit in a wheelchair, unable to fight back.

"You!" Flander's face turned ashen, and he almost had a stroke from anger. He never expected that the other party could use those words to his advantage, which indirectly led to him harming Xiao Gang.

Liu Erlong and Tang San's faces were extremely gloomy, their killing intent surging and undisguised.

Boom!

The black-robed bishop shook his greatsword, causing the ground to tremble and a vast, deafening roar to resound.

His sharp gaze fixed on Tang San and Liu Erlong, and he said in a deep voice, "Fighting is strictly forbidden before the Pope's Palace; violators will be executed!"

Bibi Dong observed all of this, neither stopping nor allowing it, a faint smile always playing on her lips.

"Xiao Gang, Xiao Gang, come back to me."

She chuckled softly, already able to see that Yu Xiaogang, utterly devastated and with nowhere else to turn, would surely return to her side once she offered a helping hand.

Warninged by the Spirit Hall, Liu Erlong and Tang San suppressed their murderous intent and had to keep their ulterior motives to themselves.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, but once you leave Wuhun City, things can get complicated.

"Chen Xuan, apologize and admit your mistake. We can let bygones be bygones. Xiao Gang is still your elder after all." Flander withdrew his gaze, understanding the thoughts of the two. As the former dean, he still gave them a word of advice.

"You've done nothing wrong, so why apologize? On the contrary, you've repeatedly slandered and defamed me. I haven't even held a grudge yet, and you're already acting like you're wronged?" Chen Xuan sneered.

Tailong was displeased. He was fiercely protective of his master and could not tolerate anyone slandering the master and the third young master. In his opinion, the other party's words were pure nonsense and utter rubbish.

"Chen Xuan, how dare you talk back? You are a truly ungrateful scoundrel. Without the Dean and the Master, could you have reached your current level?" He pointed at Chen Xuan with a vicious expression.

"You really are all brawn and no brains, don't you use any nutrition for brain development?" Chen Xuan was speechless. He didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but the other person kept jumping out and making brainless remarks, which was really annoying.

"Use your pig brain to tell me, in what way have you been ungrateful? I really don't know in what way Yu Xiaogang has ever guided me."

In fact, no one with a brain would believe what Tyrone said. The dignitaries and deacons present were not fools; they just took it as a joke.

A Soul King in his late teens possessing two ten-thousand-year Soul Rings—such an achievement has shocked the past, present, and future. Yet some people insist on embellishing his reputation, as if he couldn't have cultivated to the Soul King level without Yu Xiaogang.

This kind of behavior is nothing but self-aggrandizement, seeking credit, and making a fool of oneself.

Undoubtedly, after today, Yu Xiaogang will become the topic of conversation for everyone present.

"Alright, let's end this farce here."

At this moment, Pope Bibi Dong suddenly spoke up, intervening in the Shrek Academy affair.

"Shrek Academy, you can distribute the rewards now."

Then, her gaze fell on Chen Xuan, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

Chen Xuan was taken aback, then realized something was wrong; this young woman was up to no good.

As expected, Bibi Dong spoke up, announcing in front of everyone: "Chen Xuan, you are now a member of my Spirit Hall. After today, you will stay in Spirit City. Your talent is no less than Nana's, and you can share the title of the Golden Generation with Nana. In addition, I have prepared a soul bone for you."

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Everyone stared wide-eyed in shock, doubting their own ears. How could it be that the young man had already joined the Spirit Hall?

The Shrek students were shocked, their emotions churning like a tsunami, listening to these words in disbelief.

People were shocked, horrified, and incredulous. Some even felt betrayed and deceived. At that moment, all eyes fell on Chen Xuan.

I was thinking of writing a long chapter, but then I thought better of it and decided to write a short one instead.
