Chapter 98: Lin Chen's Complaints. Shrek's Absurd Philosophy
Across the continent.
After seeing the new content of Lin Chen's diary, everyone reacted differently.
When Ning Rongrong saw that her future self would actually be on the same side as Tang San, she felt as if her entire world had collapsed.
Wait… in the future, she would actually associate with Tang San?
Wouldn't that mean she would end up becoming a bad person, too?
And Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai, those two lustful degenerates who frequented brothels, would actually be her companions.
How could she possibly tolerate that in the future? Wouldn't she feel disgusted?
Just reading Lin Chen's diary now already made Ning Rongrong furious at those two fools, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai. She wished those beasts would die immediately.
Not to mention Tang San, the transmigrator, ranked first on the Douluo Continent's list of scum. He deserved to be killed by everyone.
And yet, in the future, she would actually be their companion.
Just thinking about using her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul to support those three made Ning Rongrong feel as if she had swallowed filth.
Meanwhile,
After seeing Lin Chen's evaluation of her, Zhu Zhuqing fell silent.
Overly submissive?
What did that mean?
And she would actually become one of the Shrek Seven Devils in the future, alongside Dai Mubai, the prince to whom she was betrothed.
Thinking about it, she seemed to understand why Lin Chen gave her such an evaluation.
What kind of person Dai Mubai was had already been described clearly in Lin Chen's diary.
Yet, in the future, she did not reject such a disgusting man. Instead, she even performed martial soul fusion with him.
This meant she had placed all her hopes on their Martial Soul Fusion Skill. No matter how terrible Dai Mubai's character was or how disgraceful his past had been, she still chose to forgive him.
"So that's the kind of person I am?"
"I claim I want to resist fate, yet I entrust my life to that cowardly prince. How ridiculous."
Zhu Zhuqing mocked herself softly. At this moment, her heart felt extremely heavy.
However, the one who felt the worst was not Ning Rongrong or Zhu Zhuqing.
It was Xiao Wu.
Nuoding Academy.
After reading Lin Chen's comments about her, Xiao Wu felt extremely uncomfortable.
Without Lin Chen's interference, her future would actually have turned out like that.
Not only would she follow Tang San and learn bad habits, but she would eventually stand by his side and help him wreak havoc across the continent.
It truly matched the saying, "Those who stay near vermilion become red; those near ink become black."
"No. I need to go find Lin Chen."
"If I stay by Lin Chen's side, I won't become a bad person."
Xiao Wu clenched her fists, secretly making up her mind.
She had already gathered nine fragments of the aura-concealing fragments. Only one more was needed.
Once she collected all ten fragments, her aura as a 100,000-year soul beast could be perfectly hidden. Even a Titled Douluo would not be able to discover her true identity.
At that time, the entire continent would be open to her.
Meanwhile, inside the chat group interface.
[Pope of Spirit Hall: Xiao Wu, what did I say before? Those who stay near vermilion become red; those near ink become black. Follow Tang San, and you'll end up with a pile of bad habits.]
[Green Grass: Exactly, Xiao Wu. Fortunately, you haven't had much interaction with Tang San yet. Otherwise, who knows what you might have become?]
[Green Grass: Maybe arrogant and rude. Maybe constantly causing trouble… or perhaps you'd have all those problems.]
[Carrot Lover: I'm also glad. Since I'm not with Tang San, I'm just a bit silly, not full of bad habits.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: @A Little Fox, why did you and Lin Chen only cripple Ma Hongjun?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: A lustful beast like him who frequents brothels deserves worse. Crippling him isn't enough. You should have made him experience what those rough men feel like.]
[A Little Fox: Like that? That works too. But we can't find Ma Hongjun now, and I'm too lazy to look for him. Staying beside Lin Chen is much more comfortable.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Wuwu, I'm so jealous. I'm wondering whether I should go to Suo Tuo City.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Every time I find out Lin Chen's location, he leaves before I arrive. Why is my luck so terrible?]
[Yan Will Come Back: Sister Erlong, in that case, I suggest you don't go this time. Take the chance to rest properly. Running around all the time is exhausting.]
[Cold and Detached Melon-Eating Girl: Exactly. There's a saying: the more you pursue something, the harder it is to obtain. But when you stop caring, it often appears before you.]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Alright then. It's quite far anyway. Maybe Lin Chen will leave tomorrow.]
While the girls continued chatting, Lin Chen's diary kept updating as well.
[Although Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Oscar were relatively normal at first, after the Shrek Seven Devils group was formed, under the influence of Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, the three of them gradually became abnormal as well.]
[Aside from that, Shrek Academy's educational philosophy is even more outrageous.]
[The most classic example is the saying, "Those who do not dare cause trouble are mediocre." When I first saw that philosophy, I was stunned. What kind of shameless idea is that?]
[If you analyze that philosophy deeply, it really boils down to the words "bullying the weak and fearing the strong."]
[Looking at Shrek's behavior, whenever they encounter Soul Masters or forces weaker than themselves, they deliberately provoke them and bully others.]
[For example, in the original story, Dai Mubai bullied students from Blue Sunshine Academy for no reason. But when the teacher appeared, he immediately backed off and let Zhao Wuji, a Soul Saint, bully a mere Soul King.]
[Yet, when they encounter stronger Soul Masters, they do not dare cause trouble at all. They do not even dare make a sound.]
[For example, when Shrek Academy went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the original story, the moment they saw Dugu Bo, they did not even dare breathe loudly, afraid of provoking him.]
[With such an educational philosophy, the students they produce become nothing more than Soul Masters who bully the weak, fear the strong, and stir up trouble for no reason. They contribute nothing to the Soul Master world.]
[Under Shrek's teachings and under the influence of Tang San, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai, the other four members of the Shrek Seven Devils also gradually became outrageous later on. Their personalities and morals deteriorated completely.]
[If you ask me, the founder of Shrek Academy, Flender, is truly something. As expected of Yu Xiaogang's good brother, who wears the same pair of pants.]
[Such an absurd educational philosophy is actually used by him as the standard to judge whether a Soul Master is a genius or a mediocre person.]
[And Shrek's admission philosophy is equally ridiculous. They only recruit geniuses, which is basically misleading students.]
[First, what kind of teaching staff does Shrek Academy even have? Every teacher in the academy is half-baked. None of them truly understand teaching.]
[Second, there is no proper cultivation environment. The academy does not even have a mimicry training ground, and their training method is just carrying stones while running around the village. Do you really expect such an academy to cultivate true talents?]
