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

Chapter 9 Conflicts Arise

Opportunism?

Chen Xuan was stunned. He asked himself, "Did I really try to take shortcuts?"

Did we use any underhanded tactics to win the game? The answer is no.

His martial spirit is to inscribe a series of spells on objects and leave coordinates, just like the Flying Thunder God.

He has stated many times that he is a battle spirit master, but no one believes him. Almost everyone thinks he is a support-type spirit master. What can be done? Can we blame him?

It was Dai Mubai who underestimated his opponent, thinking he had no martial arts skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have won so easily.

Given all the favorable circumstances, his actions were at most a surprise attack; there was no element of opportunism involved.

Chen Xuan curled his lips, speechless. Yu Xiaogang was clearly belittling him on purpose, refusing to acknowledge his strength as a Battle Soul Master even after winning.

Yu Xiaogang's gaze gradually turned cold. He took in Chen Xuan's expression. As someone in a superior position, this behavior from the younger generation was clearly a provocation.

His face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't be arrogant. Some people win the competition by using unfair means, and yet they're still smug and complacent. What face do they have to stand here?"

The Shrek Academy members were taken aback by his words and looked at each other in confusion. What did the master mean by this? Was he targeting Brother Chen?

Tailong scratched his head in confusion. What's wrong with Master? It seems Brother Chen didn't offend him, did he?

Chen Xuan frowned, but did not speak.

However, his nonchalant attitude only made the master more displeased, and his face gradually darkened, showing signs of anger.

Yu Xiaogang took a sudden step forward, pointed at Chen Xuan, and said angrily, "You are arrogant, conceited, and self-righteous. You don't listen to others' teachings. Don't think that just because you're in the advanced class, you're a one-in-a-million genius whose future will be smooth sailing. You should know that there are always people better than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Compared to those disciples from other sects, you're just a mediocre talent!"

Upon hearing this, the Shrek Academy students were all stunned and confused. What happened? Why did the master suddenly get so angry?

Jingling, Jiangzhu, and the others were a little angry. After three years of friendship, didn't they know who Chen Xuan was? He always kept a low profile in the advanced class, so where did his arrogance come from?

Jiangzhu was indignant and wanted to speak up for Chen Xuan, but Tailong grabbed her and shook his head at her.

Zhu Zhuqing remained calm and composed, but her eyes were sharp. She observed everyone very carefully. Having grown up amidst the intrigues and power struggles of the royal family, she had a keen understanding of many things, including what was unfolding at this moment.

Ning Rongrong frowned slightly, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

Chen Xuan's eyes turned cold, but he did not refute. He was restraining himself and enduring it.

Shrek is someone else's territory, so making a scene won't do him any good, and it's hard to find anyone on his side.

Yu Xiaogang is Liu Erlong's lover and Flander's longtime friend; his importance is self-evident, and it's absolutely impossible for him to speak up for him.

And since the Grandmaster is also the teacher of the Shrek Seven Devils, it's even more impossible for them to be together.

Chen Xuan knew all this, so he knew he had to be patient and take a step back; otherwise, things would be much easier.

The only ones who might stand by his side are Tailong and the other three, after all, they have been classmates for three years.

His silence did not escape Yu Xiaogang's notice, which made him even more smug, believing that Yu Xiaogang had hit the nail on the head, which was why he remained silent.

"Chen Xuan, I know you're very dissatisfied. Young people have their pride, but as an elder, and someone who's been through it all, I advise you to put away your arrogant heart. Arrogance and conceit will only harm you." The master raised his head, looking down on people with an air of superiority.

Chen Xuan's face was cold. He had reached his limit and was no longer willing to tolerate it. They kept putting accusations on him, they really seemed to be addicted to it. He might as well leave Shrek Academy!

A moment of patience brings peace, but the more you think about it afterward, the angrier you get.

"Arrogance, haughtiness? I think that's you, Master."

Yu Xiaogang was astonished and surprised that this troublemaker would talk back.

The master dismissed the rebuttal with disdain, coldly scoffing, "You little brat, talking utter nonsense!"

Chen Xuan sneered and said, "You say I'm arrogant and conceited, and you speak with such conviction, as if you've known me for many years. But we've only met twice, yet you criticize me like this. And you dare say you're not conceited, arrogant, or haughty? Tell me, which of these qualities don't you possess?"

Yu Xiaogang was immediately furious. As a scholar, the thing he could not accept most was being slandered.

He taught for over a decade, nurturing countless students. His knowledge was immense, and he produced Tang San, the strongest disciple, leading Shrek Academy to glory.

Without him, could the Shrek Seven Devils have achieved what they have at this age? It's simply a pipe dream!

Now, some people actually dare to refute him and even slander him, which is utterly ridiculous.

Even though he was angry, as a teacher and a wise man, Yu Xiaogang knew he couldn't argue with a child.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Since you ask why we know so much about you even though we've only met twice, it's simple. I had already looked at your information before and learned about your deeds from students and teachers."

Chen Xuan curled his lips, speechless. So it turned out that he had gotten the information from the teachers. Didn't he realize that what others said was true?

Jiangzhu couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "Master, Chen is usually very low-key in the academy and rarely even participates in sparring battles. Are you mistaken?"

The Shrek members nodded. None of them were stupid; after a brief encounter, they didn't think Chen Xuan was an arrogant and conceited person.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover." Tang San shook his head slightly. He had originally thought Chen Xuan was a gentle person, just like his partner, but now it seemed that he had been wrong.

Since the teacher said the other person is arrogant, then there's no way they're wrong.

After more than seven years of teaching, he had long since become a firm believer in Yu Xiaogang, and indeed, over the years, every word his teacher had said had been correct. Even if he had made a mistake, it was because he had not fully understood it.

Yu Xiaogang ignored Jiangzhu's rebuttal. He put his hands behind his back and continued, "Indeed, you seem to be low-key and don't interact with others in the academy. However, it is precisely these things that expose your true nature. On the surface, you are gentle, but that is just your disguise. In fact, you are very arrogant and look down on everyone. Naturally, you will not spar with others, so you have maintained this false impression all along."

Chen Xuan laughed in exasperation. He was incredibly stupid to argue with such a fool.

He even revealed his true nature. He didn't even know himself when he had developed a true nature. He's amazing. No wonder he's a master of theory. His ability to spout nonsense is top-notch.

Even if you want to slander him, at least provide some concrete evidence. Originally, he thought the other party had some profound insights, but this is all? It's just a one-sided statement with no basis whatsoever.

Upon hearing these words, the Shrek Academy students' eyelids twitched violently. Had the Grandmaster lost his mind? Was he talking nonsense?

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, speechless. If she, a young lady from a sect, believed these words, she might as well jump off a building.

Even Ma Hongjun, who wasn't very bright and had a fat head and big ears, was twitching at the corner of his mouth. The master's words were just too clumsy.

Only Tang San, as if suddenly enlightened, instantly understood everything and believed Yu Xiaogang's words without a doubt.
