Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 254 Flipping the Table, Digging Out the Truth

"Oh, who do we have here? It's Tianshui Academy."

Ning Rongrong glanced around casually, preparing to call the others to leave together, but after turning around, she quickly turned her head back.

She must not be seeing things, right? That's Zhu Qing, isn't it?

But didn't Dad say she was dead?

She was heartbroken for a long time because this was the first friend she had made on her own merits, and the kind she didn't have to pretend in front of.

After the incident, she immediately went back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for help, but her father, who always doted on her, not only refused but also restricted her personal freedom.

The next day, when she received another message, she learned that Zhu Zhuqing had disappeared, and her father regretfully told her that she was probably dead.

Fearing she might be mistaken, she rubbed her eyes vigorously and looked again at the familiar figure in Tianshui Academy.

Yes, it's Zhu Qing. She's still alive. That's wonderful.

Without thinking, she raised her arms, waving them and excitedly shouting, "Zhu Qing, Zhu Qing!"

Damn it, Flander opened his eyes, his face now masked with pain.

His final prayers were in vain; Ning Rongrong still discovered Zhu Zhuqing.

What's even more outrageous is that she completely ignored their presence and didn't care about other people's feelings, and just shouted it out.

Doesn't she know how to read the room?

Oh, she really doesn't need to pay attention to the atmosphere.

Flanders was filled with bitterness. Who would save him? Please save him!

Meanwhile, the group of students from Tianshui Academy who were walking towards them, chatting and laughing, naturally heard her shout.

"Hey, Zhu Qing, isn't that Ning Rongrong? Hmm, and the second team from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy too? Let's go over there."

Upon seeing Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan and the others also noticed the other people beside her, dressed in the uniforms of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, who were staring at them with gloomy expressions.

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and walked over there, while the others from Tianshui Academy followed behind.

Speaking of which, she used to be a dominant force in the Heavenly Dou battle. Plus, Han Li said she could do whatever she wanted, so what did she have to care about? Her ancestor was a Super Douluo, had she heard of that?

From Qian Renxue to Han Li, from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Spirit Hall, the players and referees are all her people. What can you use to fight me?

Besides, she had long wanted to meet these people and see what kind of valuable item it was, so she naturally didn't mind getting back at Zhu Zhuqing.

The Tianshui Academy instructors, who were following behind them, knowingly hid at the very back.

When she led the team here today, the dean had already instructed her that she was just an accessory, only responsible for keeping an eye on the girls in her own academy. As for the others, she didn't need to worry about them. Naturally, she wouldn't interfere with Dugu Yan's behavior. Didn't you see, Shui Bing'er meant the same thing?

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, the people from the two academies met.

Ning Rongrong had already rushed out and hugged Zhu Zhuqing tightly. The two beautiful girls sticking together was quite a sight to behold.

"Hey, you gloomy guy, what are you staring at with those red eyes? What? You want to hit me? I'll knock your head off."

Ignoring Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong who were whispering to each other, Dugu Yan directly attacked Dai Mubai.

All three of them possess the Killing God Domain, making them far more sensitive to killing intent than ordinary people. Furthermore, Dai Mubai's display was so obvious that he didn't need to use this at all.

As Dugu Yan spoke, Shui Bing'er and Xiu'er's eyes were already fixed on Tang San. This guy was the real hidden venomous snake; his killing intent towards Zhu Zhuqing was no less than Dai Mubai's.

"Don't push your luck."

Dai Mubai's gums were almost crushed from biting so hard. Even though he had just resolved to endure it, he couldn't stand being pointed at and insulted without doing anything.

"Ha, it seems we've gone too far. It wasn't the time for you all to pressure Zhu Qing. Back then, she was still your fiancée, wasn't she?"

Having spent so much time with Han Li, Dugu Yan was somewhat familiar with subtle writing techniques. Without bringing up anything involving identity, she quickly pinned a label on him.

Anyway, don't worry about what happened in between, just tell me if what she said is true or not.

These words immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers.

This is the rest area for contestants from various colleges. The group is mostly young, and at this age, they are very much in love. Upon hearing this, their gazes towards Dai Mubai changed.

"Don't make false accusations. Why don't you say it was her who wasn't cooperating first...?"

Dai Mubai retorted without even thinking.

"Then why don't you tell her why she's not cooperating with you?"

Dugu Yan scoffed and continued, "You're the one who abandoned your fiancée, ran away alone, and indulged in a life of debauchery outside, aren't you? And you were the one who pressured her with your teammates, weren't you?"

"So, she chose to rebel and divorce you. Is there a problem with that?"

She raised her voice a little when she said the last sentence.

She's here to expose my past.

Ha, she didn't believe Dai Mubai would dare to reveal that he had become a eunuch.

If there is still a sliver of hope for him to turn the tide in the Soul Master Competition, then if he dares to reveal this matter, he will definitely be abandoned by the Star Luo Emperor. Why would he choose a prince who cannot pass on his lineage to make a laughing stock among the major powers?

The funniest thing right now is that, among the three major powers, only the Star Luo Empire is still unaware of this news.

"You, you..."

Dai Mubai's lips trembled with anger. Listening to the whispers from the crowd around him, he knew that he would become the talk of the town in this year's Soul Master Competition. As time went on, even the common people would secretly laugh at him.

This situation will further destroy any possibility of him turning the tide once his identity is revealed during the Soul Master Competition.

Such negative news absolutely cannot appear on a future emperor. Even though the Star Luo Empire advocates bloody elimination, when a candidate becomes a laughing stock on the mainland, especially in an enemy country, even the Star Luo Emperor has to consider this issue.

In short, he's finished; his future looks bleak, unless Davis dies in this match.

Flanders sighed, but still stepped forward. He was a teacher, and no matter how unwilling he was, he had to protect his students at this moment.

"Miss Dugu, please be kind with your words. There are many hidden details in this matter that cannot be disclosed, as you should already know. Moreover, this is an internal matter of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. With the competition just around the corner, it would be best to focus on the competition."

Flanders had a toothache, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them, so he could only change the subject to the game.

It's impossible to expect Ning Rongrong to help him, and it's even more impossible for Tang San. If his identity is exposed, he might be the first to die. Didn't you see that he's not saying a word and his head is lowered faster than anyone else's?

"You're quite interesting as a teacher. You don't actually think that the people I just mentioned didn't include yourself, do you?"

Dugu Yan glanced at Flander with amusement. If she remembered correctly, he was also part of the Golden Iron Triangle who later pressured Zhu Qing.

Flander's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition rose within him.

"Flander, as a teacher, after this happened, you said you wanted Zhu Qing to submit to them, didn't you? Is this your responsibility as a teacher?"

Dugu Yan had a very sharp conversation with Flander, and then, without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "However, this is quite in line with your style."

"Flander, a level 70 Soul Saint, once colluded with Zhao Wuji, the Immovable King, a wanted criminal of the Spirit Hall, to open an unlicensed Soul Master Academy called Shrek Academy in Soto City, and claimed that some of the students who graduated from it became the youngest elder of the Spirit Hall."

"Could you tell me, in front of me, what is your student's name?"

Flander froze on the spot. He never expected that just by saying a few words, his dark history would be brought up and he would be questioned in front of everyone.

But since the other party was from the Spirit Hall, he naturally dared not make any boastful claims and could only reply with a forced laugh, "That's just me bragging; of course, it's not true."

"Alright, so you admit that you used the Spirit Hall's name to harbor the wanted criminal Zhao Wuji, right?"

Dugu Yan wouldn't let him get away with it, and Flander was already covered in sweat.

"This, Miss Dugu, I..."

Flander wanted to retort, but was interrupted by Dugu Yan.

"Let's put that aside for now, Flander. Can you tell me, of the 42 genius students you founded Shrek Academy that were required to reach level 21 by age 12 over the past twenty years, besides the 14 who successfully graduated, where did the remaining 28 students go?"

"Could it be that so many people didn't reach the Soul Master level of soul power before the age of twenty? Or did something happen to them?"

As Dugu Yan's voice faded, the surrounding crowd erupted in a flurry of discussion.

It's illogical that many of them could barely meet the requirements, yet they had never heard of this academy.

"Afraid to answer? Then I will. Some of them died during the process of acquiring spirit rings, and the rest were ruined after their golden period of cultivation passed."

Dugu Yan's words resounded in everyone's ears, leaving them feeling somewhat incredulous.

How could someone whose talent was no less than theirs, or even greater than theirs, end up like this?

You know, it's not uncommon for senior students in the academy to die while acquiring spirit rings, but how could the proportion be so high?

Moreover, isn't this dean a Soul Saint? With so few students, how could he allow them to die while acquiring their first four Soul Rings?

Unless they don't help students acquire spirit rings at all, or they simply don't care, that's the only possibility they can think of.

Isn't this tantamount to disregarding human life? The onlookers felt a chill run down their spines, and their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Flander.
