Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 108

Chapter 108: Cowards Don’t Start Trouble

Under Tang San’s persuasion, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai held back their anger. They gradually calmed down; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan was indeed not to be trifled with.

Dai Mubai, already disheartened about his future because of his elder brother, only wanted to enjoy himself as much as possible before his family enforced their rules. There was no need to offend the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. He had only just insulted the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School yesterday, and his relationship with Ning Rongrong was already strained. Causing further trouble with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would likely mean he couldn’t even stay in the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Ma Hongjun, a commoner burdened by the scorching fire of his martial soul, was uncertain about his future, and similarly, just wanted to enjoy himself while he could still live.

Seeing that the few were no longer pressing the issue, Qin Ming didn’t bother pursuing the matter further, leading his students to another table.

Nan Feihuang had Xun Yu take out some gold soul coins to compensate the shopkeeper. After all, they had both damaged the tables and chairs, and he wouldn’t shirk his responsibility. However, they only paid for their half of the damage; the Shrek Academy’s portion wasn’t their concern, and he wouldn’t pay for others’ mistakes.

Fortunately, although Shrek Academy was stingy, they had the wealthy Ning Rongrong among them. A small sum of money was nothing to this young miss.

The three great sects were competitive, and seeing that the Imperial Dou team had paid, Ning Rongrong, unwilling to lose face for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, also compensated for their share. She seemed to consider Nan Feihuang a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan, which wasn’t surprising given he was with Yu Tianheng.

“Humph, this Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan is so unreasonable. I was just saying hello to those two girls, trying to make friends, and they just beat me up for no reason,” Ma Hongjun grumbled from his seat.

“That’s a good story to tell others, but not here,” Ning Rongrong scoffed. Though she had only been at Shrek Academy for two days, her sharp wit had already gauged the personalities of everyone except Tang San.

Xiao Wu was Tang San’s shadow, following him everywhere. Oscar had a crush on her. Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were womanizing thugs. Zhu Zhuqing was aloof, but clearly had something going on with Dai Mubai, even if she currently showed disdain for him; she was still stuck with him.

Only Tang San was unfathomable; she couldn’t see through him at all. As for herself, she was a little witch; she had quarreled with most of Shrek yesterday and while she wanted to change, it wouldn’t happen overnight.

“Hey, Ning Rongrong, whose side are you on? Even though you fought with Dai老大 (Big Brother Dai) yesterday, you’re still part of Shrek, right? Why are you siding with them?” Ma Hongjun complained.

“Alright, Fatty, Rongrong, you both should say less,” Tang San intervened again. His personality was still calm and peaceful; he got along well with most people at the academy.

His formidable strength meant even the arrogant Dai Mubai usually gave him face.

The earlier incident left the seven Shrek members, whose relationships were already strained, even more sullen. They ate in silence. Unlike the sworn brothers in the original story, they were only newly acquainted and had not shared any hardships. The relationships between some of them were even worse than ordinary classmates.

In contrast, the Imperial Dou team, even temporary members like Nan Feihuang and Xun Yu, were chatting and laughing, highlighting the stark difference in atmosphere between the two groups.

At that moment, the door burst open, and another group of people entered, wearing red uniforms. The middle-aged man leading them, clearly a teacher, said, “What in the world is going on here? Demolition?”

“Sir, we are so sorry, there was a small accident earlier. Please wait, I’ll clean up a new table for you immediately,” the waiter rushed over. This group was clearly also from a soul master academy. He wondered what day it was; he’d rarely seen so many Soul Masters in one day, let alone three waves of them. He just hoped no more accidents would occur, and everyone could leave peacefully.

“Hurry up, hurry up!” The middle-aged man urged impatiently.

Dai Mubai, already simmering with anger, seemed to find an outlet. “Humph, little Cang Hui Academy, what are you so arrogant about!”

Unlike Nan Feihuang and the others who weren’t wearing uniforms, he immediately recognized Cang Hui Academy, a well-known academy in the Heavenly Dou Empire and a frequent participant in the Soul Master Elite Tournament.

His words were loud and clear, audible to everyone, not just the sensitive senses of Soul Masters, but even the waiter. The waiter’s face froze; he felt like crying. Why did this young master have to cause trouble again? It was so hard running a small shop. Couldn’t they just eat their meals peacefully?

How could the Soul Masters tolerate such provocation? The middle-aged man from Cang Hui Academy stepped forward and confronted Dai Mubai. “You impolite brat, you said that, didn’t you? Who are you?”

“Mind your own business? You’re not worthy!” Dai Mubai sat with his legs crossed, exhibiting the arrogance of a prince.

“Hey, hey, hey, Dai老大, look at that girl, she’s pretty too, though not as pretty as the other two, and a bit older, but she looks more mature,” Ma Hongjun, fixated on a girl in the Cang Hui Academy group, began appraising her.

This time, Tang San didn’t stop them. As the Dean said, cowards don’t start trouble. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan was not to be trifled with, but what was there to worry about with a mere Cang Hui Academy? Zhao Wuji was resting upstairs; if the Cang Hui Academy teacher tried to bully them, Zhao Wuji would certainly intervene, so there was no need to worry about safety.

“These people, causing trouble again?” Ye Lingling frowned. Kind and calm by nature, she disliked such needless troublemakers.

Nan Feihuang chuckled, “Is it because of these two? That’s quite normal.”

“Fei Jiang (Flying General), you seem to know them?” Yu Feng asked, puzzled.

“Indeed, these two are the ones who coined the classic line, ‘Women are resources, not people.’ Of course, I’ve heard of them.”

In Shrek Academy, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were indeed the biggest troublemakers. Tang San was cautious and rarely caused trouble. Xiao Wu, though mischievous, always followed Tang San’s lead. Oscar, being a food-type Soul Master, lacked the combat power to cause trouble.

Ning Rongrong, though known as a little witch, didn’t bully everyone she met. To strangers, she acted like a lady, unless provoked, just like on her first day at Shrek before being ordered to run laps by Flanders.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she lived by the principle of “don’t start trouble unless provoked.” She just focused on cultivating to survive.

“Women are resources, not people? Bastard! What kind of trash line is that?” Du Gu Yan couldn’t hold back. Her feminist sentiments were clearly piqued—understandable, as any capable girl would find such a remark unacceptable.

Qin Ming, however, felt that he’d seen this behavior somewhere before. It was like a combination of his two teachers, Flanders and Zhao Wuji. Flanders preached that Soul Masters who didn’t dare to cause trouble were cowards, while Zhao Wuji was the embodiment of a troublemaker, his targets ranging from the head of the Li clan to the Martial Soul Temple in his younger days.

These two were exactly like them: they loved causing trouble, dared to cause trouble, and knew how to cause trouble.

He realized that this place wasn’t far from Shrek Academy and, considering these kids’ monstrous talent, couldn’t help but twitch his mouth. “No way… could these brats be my juniors?”
