Diary—Chapter 180: Spirit Hall vs. Shrek, victim-blaming theory?
Thinking about it, Xuan Zi is not a good person. The academy probably trusts him, which is why they let this Peak Super Douluo lead the team of talented soul masters from the academy to ensure their safety. But both times, there have been major mistakes. Did his cultivation make his brain rot?
With the vast spiritual power of a Peak Super Douluo, how could he not detect the existence of a group of evil soul masters so much weaker than himself in time? If you say that one or two of them are soul masters proficient in the art of concealment, that's barely passable, but it's impossible for every evil soul master to have such superb concealment skills, right?
Even Gui Mei, who is proficient in assassination techniques from Spirit Hall, couldn't avoid the mental detection range of a Peak Super Douluo when he was a Soul Douluo and launched a surprise attack on the target. Even if he dodged it, as long as he showed himself, as long as the Peak Super Douluo wasn't too far from the team, a single glance would be enough to immobilize him!
In the original story, because Tang San used the Clear Sky Hammer Avatar ahead of time in the Soul Master Competition due to the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, it aroused Spirit Hall's suspicion. Gui Mei even proposed the idea of assassination for the Spirit Hall team to win.
But Bibi Dong directly rejected it, the reason being that his strength was not enough to successfully assassinate the target and retreat unscathed when the other side had a Titled Douluo protecting them.
You should know that Tang San wasn't always with Dugu Bo or Sword Douluo Chen Xin. He had to stay alone in his room when he rested at night, right?
And although Tang Hao was guarding in the dark, there was still a short distance between him and Tang San. Gui Mei's strength was so much lower than Tang San's, yet Bibi Dong claimed that Gui Mei had no chance of guaranteed assassination!
So... it's outrageous that Xuan Zi couldn't detect the existence of these evil soul masters!
At this time, in a certain room, Dugu Yan said somewhat speechlessly: "I feel that Dai Yichen has understated it a bit."
"Hmm?" Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both looked at her in confusion.
"This Xuan Zi perfectly inherited the irresponsible characteristics of Shrek Academy. Whether it's going out for training or hunting soul beasts, he probably doesn't care about the lives of the students. Isn't that what the Shrek Academy, founded by Flender, is like now?"
The two women exchanged glances. Oh, right!
The current Shrek Academy doesn't have many graduates. According to Dai Yichen's speculation, almost half of them die in accidents before graduating. Otherwise, how could someone who graduates at the age of twenty with level forty soul power be unknown on the continent?
That Qin Ming seems to be the most monstrous student in Shrek Academy besides the Shrek Seven Devils?
If we exclude that youngest Spirit Hall Elder that Flender casually mentioned!
Dai Yichen: Stop calling him the most monstrous student already. His soul ring configuration isn't the standard two yellow, two purple, and two black, but a lower level of two yellow, three purple, and one black!
Qin Ming appeared in the final battle, but the other former Shrek Academy students haven't even been mentioned in a single sentence during this final battle. Is it because they're too weak, or because they're already dead?
[The Two Great Empires and many Sects joined together to destroy Spirit Hall. At first, I thought it was the righteous side defeating the evil side. After all, generally speaking, the protagonist group represents the righteous side.]
[Now that I think about it, I want to laugh. I was too naive back then and hadn't read enough books. Who said the protagonist must be righteous? There is no pure justice or evil in the Douluo World, only the issue of standpoint.]
[Although I am now a prince of the Star Luo Empire, before that, I often wondered if Bibi Dong hadn't given the Two Great Empires three days to surrender, then Tang San would not have had time to resurrect. Even Bibi Dong could have finished him off at that time. As long as Tang San's body was incomplete, the resurrection divine light would have been useless.]
[If Spirit Hall had unified the entire continent, then the ending probably wouldn't be the same as ten thousand years later, with evil soul masters running rampant. Even if the unified Douluo Continent's soul guidance technology was not advanced, it would be able to defeat the Sun Moon Continent by relying on Spirit Hall's high-level soul master advantage.]
[Thousands of years later, due to continental plate movement, a new continent collided with the Douluo Continent and began to merge. The people of that continent are proficient in the production of various soul guidance devices. At first, the allied forces of the Douluo Continent's major Empires were repeatedly defeated. It was only when Shrek sent out a large number of Titled Douluos that the war was finally quelled.]
[This also shows the difference between a unified and a non-unified continent. A unified continent has stronger cohesion. If it weren't for the Shrek force, the Sun Moon Empire would have completely crushed the remaining major Empires.]
[On the surface, Shrek Academy does not participate in the politics of the major Empires, but wouldn't its powerful strength arouse the fear of other Empires? After all, this world respects strength. Is it possible to say that you don't want any rights after you become strong?]
[That's impossible, because that's human nature!]
[And if the ending was the Spirit Empire unifying the continent, perhaps it would be different. Although Bibi Dong claimed that unifying the continent was only to raise the Spirit Empire to a high position and then destroy it, or even destroy the entire continent, that's just talk. With Bibi Dong's strength, it's impossible to do it.]
[If Bibi Dong wants to do this, then she must consider Qian Renxue's feelings. Qian Renxue is also a first-level god, and even the Angel God has a restraining effect on the Rakshasa God in terms of ability. The two are also close relatives. If Bibi Dong destroys the Spirit Hall that the Qian family has inherited for many years and destroys Qian Daoliu's foundation, then Qian Renxue will disregard the mother-daughter relationship!]
[Even if Bibi Dong disregards Qian Renxue's feelings and truly wants to do this, then she will be sanctioned by the rules of the God Realm. Do you think that the three major law enforcers of the God Realm are just for show? Strictly speaking, gods cannot interfere in the lower realms, but in the original story, they didn't ascend to the God Realm in the end, so it's temporarily ineffective.]
Bibi Dong: …
Qian Renxue: …
What does Bibi Dong feel now?
She doesn't dare to move; she completely doesn't dare to move.
Regardless of what the ending of the original story was, she has now begun to care about Qian Renxue's feelings. Although this care is sixteen years late, she hopes it's not too late...
Just thinking about this, Bibi Dong thought of the terrifying things that happened that night, which still give her goosebumps and chills. That was her darkest moment.
The secret room incident is still a major trauma in her heart, and she hasn't fully gotten over it after so many years.
[Although it's a bit of victim blaming, I still want to vent. If Ning Fengzhi hadn't been so clever and sided with Tang San, and hadn't been complacent because of those Hidden Weapons, from an observer's point of view, it would have been more worthwhile to join Spirit Hall.]
