Chapter 136: For Shrek's Honor
Flender's eyes couldn't help but burst with fury.
Was there any need to explain Jiang Li's meaning?
Make them kill each other?!
The Golden Triangle were united; Xiaogang and Liu Erlong also had backgrounds with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Bibi Dong. Didn't his words imply that as the dean, he should execute his most favored Disciple, Qin Ming?
"Xiaogang, Erlong is right, let's fight them!"
Flender said with a furious expression.
"Fight? Flender, has a donkey kicked your brain?!"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly turned around. The meek, shifty-eyed demeanor he had shown towards Jiang Li instantly vanished, replaced by a ferocious and stern expression.
He stared intently at Flender, spittle flying, as if Flender was the culprit trying to kill everyone.
"Who is the opponent? That is a terrifying existence capable of directly defeating Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao! Even the Great Sumeru Hammer couldn't do anything to him, and you want to rely on our half-baked Martial Soul Fusion Skill? What do you plan to fight with? Your lives?!"
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, his hands clasped behind his back. Even at this moment, he still maintained his " Master " demeanor, reprimanding in an unquestionable tone,
"Flender, even if you don't think for yourself, you must think for these children!"
"Mubai is the Prince of the Star Luo Empire, Rongrong is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Hongjun is your Personal Disciple! Are you going to drag these Geniuses with unlimited futures to their graves with us because of your momentary impulsiveness?!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke these words with righteous indignation, as if he were the wise man enduring humiliation for the greater good. In reality, his trembling legs and the fine cold sweat on his forehead had already exposed his profound fear of death.
Facing the external enemy Jiang Li, he didn't dare to utter a peep; but against his obedient brother Flender, he struck hard, every word piercing to the core!
He hadn't yet proven his invincible theories to all the Soul Masters on the continent, he hadn't yet become the Imperial Teacher of the Star Luo Empire, he hadn't yet rekindled his relationship with Bibi Dong—he couldn't die here!
"But... but Qin Ming is also our student, he's these children's senior!"
Flender's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice trembled.
"Someone must make a sacrifice!"
Yu Xiaogang interrupted him coldly, a ruthless glint flashing in his stiff, dead-fish eyes. His gaze then fell unreservedly on Qin Ming, who stood pale-faced to the side.
"We, the Golden Triangle, are the pillars of the academy; the children are the future of the academy. None of us can die. So, who among the rest... in this situation, is the most suitable candidate to preserve the overall situation? Do I need to say more?"
With words spoken to this extent, the veil of pretense was completely torn away.
Even Zhao Wuji, standing nearby, felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this, looking at Yu Xiaogang with contempt and unfamiliarity.
Was this the Master they respected? Was this the person who constantly had "there are no waste Martial Souls, only waste Soul Masters" on his lips?
However, an even more disheartening scene for Flender appeared.
Dai Mubai's brows were tightly furrowed.
Although he also felt that doing this was somewhat unethical, he was an extremely realistic egoist.
Thinking of Bibi Dong and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan standing behind Yu Xiaogang, and then considering the inevitable death if they resisted Jiang Li...
He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice, "Dean, I feel... what the teacher said is not wrong."
"To preserve Shrek's spark, for all of us to survive... rational trade-offs are necessary."
Following this, Oscar, though somewhat reluctant, also chose to remain silent and lower his head.
Ma Hongjun, whose crotch was in excruciating pain at this moment, was even more eager to end all of this quickly and also nodded, grunting.
In an instant, Flender felt as if all strength had been drained from his body.
He looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had a perfectly natural expression, at the silent Liu Erlong, and then at these "Little Monsters" he had poured his heart and soul into cultivating.
An unprecedented sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.
Is this Shrek?
Is this the Monster Academy he had painstakingly built?
It turned out that in the face of absolute death, the so-called "monster camaraderie" was so fragile.
"Hehe... hehehe..."
Flender let out two bitter laughs, as if he had aged ten years. He opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't say anything, only closing his eyes in dejection, accepting this cruel reality.
Qin Ming, on whom all eyes were focused, stood blankly in place at this moment.
As a " " So Called Monsters " " who had been completely brainwashed by Shrek's education, Qin Ming had always been proud to be a member of Shrek, regarding Flender as a father and Yu Xiaogang as an idol.
He had countless times fantasized about sacrificing himself for the academy, a scene that should have been heroic and glorious.
But he never expected that when this day truly arrived, he would be pushed out to die by his most respected " Master, " dying to cover up their incompetence and cowardice.
"Since... since Master and Dean have both decided this way..."
Qin Ming walked forward tremblingly, each step as heavy as if filled with lead.
He looked at the dagger stuck in the ground, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes, but more so a kind of brainwashed foolish loyalty and numbness.
"I am a Shrek graduate, a senior... I should... I should bear all of this."
He bent down, his hand trembling as he grasped the cold hilt.
"If I die, will Your Excellency Jiang Li... spare Master and my junior siblings?"
Qin Ming raised his head, his eyes hollow, looking at the figure who overlooked everyone like a god or demon.
"Naturally, this Seat keeps his word."
"Good..."
A 'puchi' sound was heard, and the dagger plunged directly into Qin Ming's chest. Afterwards, his entire body slumped to the ground.
"No! Xiao Ming!"
Flender cried as he rushed forward, desperately embracing the body, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Get out of here."
Jiang Li said unceremoniously.
Yu Xiaogang gave Liu Erlong a look, then stepped forward, forcibly took Flender and Qin Ming's body, and hastily retreated.
Only after they had walked a long distance did he finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
Finally... they survived!
Jiang Li watched Bai Chenxiang put the ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit Soul Ring on herself, then closed his eyes, sensing the whereabouts of Yu Xiaogang and the others.
Since he had a rare chance to meet Master Yu, how could he not present a grand gift to The Continents Number One Theory Master?
He saw purple light surging in his left hand, and in a place no one noticed, a black light quietly shot towards their direction.
