Douluo Continent begins with the destruction of the spirit rings.

Chapter 183 Yu Xiaogang's Disgrace

"I never imagined that the master's theory was flawed and even caused deaths!"

"What do we do now? People outside are looking at us strangely whenever they hear we're from Shrek Academy!"

"Forget calling him 'Master,' just call him Yu Xiaogang!"

"How can someone like that be fit to be a teacher at our school?"

"Principal Liu Erlong is really something, actually handing over our perfectly good school to someone like that!"

"..."

Not only was there constant discussion outside, but even the students at Shrek Academy began to have opinions about Yu Xiaogang.

At first, after they learned of Yu Xiaogang's existence and his theories, they admired him greatly and were delighted that the school had gained such a theoretically invincible teacher.

But now, the more they admired them before, the more they despise them.

The existence of Yu Xiaogang is now a bad thing for these students. Those Soul Masters who know that Yu Xiaogang is a teacher at Shrek Academy look at them with strange eyes.

These are still the better cases; some even hurled insults at them!

……

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and his friends from the Golden Triangle were no longer at Shrek Academy.

They dared not stay at school and wait for everyone to come knocking on their door. Yu Xiaogang had the courage to face the situation and wanted to stay and explain, but Flander and Liu Erlong knew the seriousness of the matter. It was not something that could be forgiven by explanation, so they forcibly took Yu Xiaogang out.

"I...I never expected this to happen..."

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang looked dejected and regretful; he truly hadn't expected things to turn out this way.

No... it's not that he didn't think of it, but that he hadn't perfected the theory, and he was too eager to release it!

"Yes... I was too hasty. There's no way I wouldn't have considered the dangers of the exploding rings!"

Thinking about it, Yu Xiaogang regretfully blurted it out.

"Xiao Gang, this has nothing to do with you, it's all my fault!"

"If I hadn't suggested that you release it as soon as possible, Xiaogang, this oversight wouldn't have happened!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's remorseful expression, Liu Erlong quickly took the blame upon himself.

"Yes, and me too, I said that before!" Flander chimed in.

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, both he and Liu Erlong realized that the reason why Yu Xiaogang's theory had such an oversight was because it was published too quickly.

"It's no use saying anything now, it's still my fault in the end!" Yu Xiaogang said with a bitter expression.

He knew that while Liu Erlong and Flander were certainly partly to blame, the main reason was his own negligence—that was an undeniable fact.

"Actually, we also have to blame Su Xing. If he hadn't stolen Xiao Gang's theory on soul power fusion techniques, we wouldn't have been in such a hurry to release the theory of exploding rings. It's all his fault!" Liu Erlong said, seeing that Yu Xiaogang was still blaming her, and quickly shifted the blame to Su Xing.

"That's right, Erlong is right, we have to blame Su Xing!"

Flanders continued to agree.

Although it's not nice to say it like this, he was even more unwilling to see Yu Xiaogang become dejected and blame himself.

"It's no use saying all this now!" Yu Xiaogang sighed, then stood up. "It's my fault, so I should go and explain things clearly. Don't stop me!"

Yu Xiaogang knows he was wrong, and he is willing to stand up and explain himself, and take responsibility for his mistake!

"No!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Liu Erlong immediately disagreed: "Xiaogang, you can't bear this responsibility. Those sects that have lost people will definitely not let you off the hook. You can't go back!"

Liu Erlong knew the seriousness of the matter and was unwilling to let Yu Xiaogang go back!

"Yes, Xiaogang, you have to listen to Erlong this time. This matter is extremely serious. If you go back, you'll die!"

Flander was also aware of the seriousness of the matter and earnestly advised Yu Xiaogang.

This isn't just the death of one or two people; it's the death of many, and many of them were from major sects.

He only dared to protect Yu Xiaogang and leave before they came looking for him. If they really came, Flander couldn't guarantee he would stand up for him.

This is extremely serious!

"But if I don't go back and explain things clearly, my reputation will be completely ruined!"

Yu Xiaogang retorted.

If you've made a mistake, you should admit it; otherwise, how can you expect to gain someone's forgiveness?

"Xiao Gang, do you think you still have any reputation left?"

Even if you explain yourself clearly, will it salvage your reputation?

"It's impossible. Not only will you die if you go back, your reputation will also be irreparably ruined!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Flander immediately let out a huff.

Although saying this might be even more discouraging to Yu Xiaogang, it's better for him to face reality than for him to go back and die!

"I……"

Sure enough, Yu Xiaogang was stunned when he heard Flander say that.

He could bear the cost of death, but he could not bear the cost of ruining his reputation.

After Flander said that, he realized that even if he explained it clearly, the mistake had already been made, his reputation was ruined, and there was no way to make amends!

Even if he were to atone for his sins with his death, it wouldn't be enough.

People might forgive him, but his reputation is still ruined!

boom!

Realizing this cruel reality, Yu Xiaogang's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Xiao Gang!"

"Xiao Gang!"

……

"Did they escape Shrek Academy?"

"Plus his escape to evade punishment, tsk tsk, Yu Xiaogang is completely ruined this time!"

Su Xing, who was in the Spirit Hall, burst into laughter after receiving the latest news.

To be honest, although Su Xing had anticipated things would turn out this way, it was still somewhat unexpected that they actually happened.

Because this was actually somewhat different from what he had expected.

He never imagined that the explosion would kill so many people!

What he anticipated was that Soul Masters above the Soul Master level would only realize they had been tricked by the Soul Ring Destruction theory a year or two after their Soul Rings were destroyed, when they discovered they were completely unable to level up.

So Su Xing's prediction was wrong; he underestimated the danger of the exploding ring!

But if my prediction was wrong, so be it. It's better this way now, haha!

"I wonder where Yu Xiaogang is now. I really want to see what he looks like!"

"Releasing my Ring-Exploding Cultivation System first? Serves you right!"

Su Xing smiled smugly, clearly enjoying Su Xing's misfortune.

"Yu Xiaogang is now completely disgraced. Teacher Bibi Dong must be utterly disappointed in him, right?"

Thinking about how Yu Xiaogang had fallen to such a state, Su Xing wondered if Bibi Dong had completely given up on Yu Xiaogang.

Surely he's not still hoping to get Yu Xiaogang?
