I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 9 Targeting me?
Yuan Shu, who acts according to the time management table, sticks to his action plan as always and strives to carry it out to the end.

So within a few days, all the more than 30 disciples in the entire Ma mansion had been defeated by Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu dealt with them basically like Bo Yue beating up the weak Xu Kun - a dimensionality reduction attack.

Those with bad behavior who had been disciplined by Yuan Shu were forced to submit and dared not act rashly. When they saw Yuan Shu, their eyelids twitched, their scalps tingled, and they got goose bumps all over their bodies. They were almost suffering from stress.

Those who had decent character and some talent were also severely suppressed by Yuan Shu. They painfully realized the absolute gap between them, their self-confidence was greatly undermined, and they began to doubt whether they were suitable for studying.

At this point, the seven senior students could not escape Yuan Shu's clutches.

Except for Lu Zhi, the other six were harassed by Yuan Shu and were forced to engage in a debate contest with Yuan Shu.

Although they were very careful and did not underestimate Yuan Shu, the final result still shocked them.

Yuan Shu had thirteen debates with the six of them within four days. Yuan Shu won six times and tied seven times, and he didn't lose a single time.

He had a very high will to fight and strong willpower. He was well-educated, had read a lot of books, and had a very broad knowledge base. So even if he was at a disadvantage, he would not admit defeat. He cited a lot of evidence, put forward various arguments, and fought to the death, refusing to admit defeat.

As a result, there were several times when the students were clearly in an advantageous position, but Yuan Shu turned the tide in the end and won the final victory.

If they didn't have some real skills and enough knowledge to fight a tug-of-war with Yuan Shu, they might not even be able to end up in a tie seven times.

The senior students would usually have internal discussions and they knew each other quite well. However, Yuan Shu attacked from all sides right from the start. Except for those who deliberately avoided Lu Zhi, the other six people tied together were unable to break Yuan Shu's debate defense.

This series of events was naturally conveyed to Ma Rong through Lu Zhi. Upon learning about the series of big moves made by Yuan Shu, Ma Rong was pleasantly surprised and was looking forward to seeing how big a deal Yuan Shu could make for him.

The Ma family's school of thought has been in a state of stagnation and decline since Zheng Xuan's departure, and it has been a long time since then.

He was old, and although he wanted to reorganize the situation, he was powerless to do so. Lu Zhi was too rigid and inflexible. Although he had an upright will, he could only speak out when he saw injustice. He was not capable of leading the overall situation.

At this moment, Yuan Shu appeared like a comet.

Ma Rong was very much looking forward to this little guy bringing some different changes to the stagnant Ma family studies.

The wind has been delayed for a long time, and now it's time to blow.

Yuan's Gale Legend, start!

In Yuan Shu's view, the situation in which all of Ma's disciples were annihilated and the six top students could only defend themselves but not fight back meant that, except for Lu Zhi, all the elite talents under Ma Rong were no match for him.

He has crushed these people in all aspects of talent and thinking ability, and gained initial "reputation".

But he did not attach much importance to this small-scale reputation.

What he really values is his "reputation" among his disciples and the "popularity" he has gained.

At the beginning, there were only more than fifty disciples who followed Yuan Shu to ask questions, but as the news that "Yuan Shu was willing to help everyone solve their doubts and answer their questions" gradually spread, the number of disciples waiting outside Yuan Shu saw every time he left the mansion was increasing, each time more than the last time.

It only took five or six days to grow from the initial fifty-something to the current five hundred-something.

Because there were too many people, the original big tree was no longer suitable for Yuan Shu to help answer their questions, so Yuan Shu simply borrowed the place where his senior disciples gave lectures on behalf of Ma Rong, sat on the high platform himself, let the students gather around him and ask him questions, and then he answered them publicly.

In this way, you can make the most of your voice and win the hearts of the people.

Although he did not have the status of a senior disciple or the nominal qualification to impart knowledge, Yuan Shu had in fact won the gratitude and love of a large number of Ma's disciples by answering questions, and had in fact already begun giving lectures.

He, a little boy, sat on the sacred teaching platform, and below him were a sea of young students who had just been crowned. The scene seemed a bit weird no matter how you looked at it.

To that group of top students, Yuan Shu was a fierce demon that stood in the way of their smooth academic journey. He was aggressive, unreasonable, cruel and brutal, and was dedicated to causing them trouble.

For these students, Yuan Shu is a guiding light on their academic journey which is full of difficulties and obstacles and thick with fog. It is warm and bright, piercing through the darkness and illuminating the road ahead that they had originally been unable to see clearly.

In the mansion, because he always intercepted disciples on the road and forced them to debate with him, Yuan Shu was given the nickname "the fierce ghost on the road" at some point. The world line here completed a wonderful contraction.

Outside the mansion, Yuan Shu is widely respected, admired and appreciated by his students as "everyone's senior brother Yuan".

However, Yuan Shu's fame did not fully cover the entire group of disciples, and not all disciples were happy about Yuan Shu's appearance.

Some people also feel worried and uncomfortable with Yuan Shu's appearance.

There are more than 4,000 disciples of the Ma family, a large number of people coming from all over the world, and the situation is very complicated. Except for the title of being a disciple of the Ma family, most of them have nothing in common.

Most of the students were of ordinary or humble origins, had a hard time studying, did not have much money, and lived a hard life.

However, there are also a small number of disciples who come from local wealthy and new rich families.

The typical situation of this kind of family is that they own a lot of land, slaves, and tenants in the countryside. They can be local tyrants behind closed doors and have no shortage of money. However, in the eyes of the imperial ruling class, they are just country bumpkins with no status.

So after solving their survival difficulties, they began to pursue spiritual things, and using money and various gifts to win the favor of disciples and obtain better knowledge resources became their common means.

Although the disciples were basically of noble birth and not short of money, how could they not accept gifts from others?
Ma Rong lived such a luxurious life, and most of his students and disciples were people who loved luxury and enjoyment.

It’s the same whether you spend your own money or have others help you spend it. Why wouldn’t they enjoy having someone pay for their colorful lives?
The two groups need each other and "achieve" each other, so these students often have a greater chance of becoming disciples, learning more, and gaining more political connections than other students of humble origins.

This situation has lasted for a long time, so long that some people have become accustomed to it, acknowledged its existence, and actively maintained it.

They believed that Yuan Shu's actions meant that their previous investment had been completely wasted.

They used to give money, fine wine and even beautiful women to please those disciples, and then they could get precious knowledge. Those who did not pay more money, fine wine and women could not get such precious knowledge.

They think it is reasonable, normal and taken for granted.

It is unreasonable for Yuan Shu to directly impart this knowledge for free to those who have not paid any price.

Yuan Shu is destroying the market and stabbing them in the heart!

Therefore, these disciples were quite dissatisfied with Yuan Shu. The closer Yuan Shu got to other disciples, the greater his reputation, the better his reputation, and the more respected he was, the more resentful these disciples became and the more they could not accept it.

Finally, when this resentment had overflowed to an unacceptable level, with the secret promotion of some disciples who were really scared and annoyed by Yuan Shu, these disciples decided to take action and asked Yuan Shu to debate with them.

They believed that they had learned more knowledge and possessed stronger debating skills, and that they would definitely be able to fight against Yuan Shu. If one wasn't enough, two could, and if two weren't enough, three could. With such a large group of disciples, there would always be one or two who could defeat Yuan Shu.

Even if it was just good luck. They didn't dare to do anything to Yuan Shu, they were afraid of the family power behind Yuan Shu, and afraid of Jingzhao Yin Yuan Feng who was close at hand, but no one could stop the fair and aboveboard academic confrontation.

As long as Yuan Shu is defeated once, his undefeated golden body will be broken, his reputation will be hit, and he will lose his name among his disciples, so that he will not continue to destroy the delicate balance that has been achieved with great difficulty.

As long as they can maintain this pathological balance, this group of already somewhat pathological guys are willing to give everything.

When he was first publicly challenged by one of his disciples, Yuan Shu was quite interested and thought it was quite interesting.

Because he felt that compared to those fake disciples, there would be some masters like pearls in the ocean among these disciples.

Back then, Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi both started out as disciples and gradually became senior students, while those fake disciples were just there to gild their reputations.

Therefore, Yuan Shu believed that among Ma Rong's disciples, those who were truly talented were concentrated in the group of senior students and disciples.

For example, Wei Jia, Dou Yun and others who have been getting closer to Yuan Shu in recent days are very talented in Yuan Shu's eyes. They just lack some difficult-to-learn knowledge. Once they learn it, it is not uncommon for them to be able to apply it to other situations and learn by analogy.

They are not stupid, but they have no way to learn. Give them a drop of water, and they will give you back a clear spring.

Yuan Shu also felt a sense of admiration for these people, so he answered every question they asked.

As for these students who took the initiative to challenge him, Yuan Shu initially thought that they were just born in humble families and had no chance to improve themselves. They longed for the opportunity to improve day and night, but they just had no way to do so.

Now, I can debate with a big shot like myself. Even if I lose, I can still gain a certain fame.

Yuan Shu was happy to do this kind of thing, believing that it was also a way to win people's hearts.

However, after he defeated six disciples who came to challenge him in succession, the experienced Dou Yun secretly told Yuan Shu the key points of this matter.

After hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned on the spot.

He didn't expect that this seemingly normal active challenge actually had such a background. The whole Ma family's knowledge was actually quite profound. Those disciples were so shameless, and those students were so helpful to the evil. This was simply a mess!

The bad thing actually happened to Yuan!

"As you said, these people are connected to the disciples in the house?"

"Yes, Brother Yuan, I heard about this channel, so I tried every means to get some good wine to give to Master Wang... Prime Minister Wang, but my family is really poor and I can't afford more gifts, so I couldn't really establish a connection with Prime Minister Wang.

Over the years, except for a few disciples in the house who kept themselves clean, the rest of the disciples basically had some contact with the disciples outside the house. A group of disciples would offer money and property to win his favor in exchange for private knowledge teaching, which was not announced to the public.

Therefore, among that group of disciples, there are indeed some who have excellent knowledge through this channel and are accepted by the master as disciples. It is precisely because of this existence that your appearance, Senior Brother Yuan, may make them feel very uncomfortable. "

"It's more than just uncomfortable. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. If I wasn't born in the Yuan family of Runan, if my family hadn't had three generations of officials, if my father hadn't been the prefect of Jingzhao, I'm afraid they wouldn't just be dealing with me through a simple debate. It seems like it's really not easy for Senior Brother Zheng Xuan..."

"Senior Brother Zheng Xuan is a top disciple and is deeply loved by our master. Those disciples dare not target him."

Dou Yun whispered, "But if someone like you appears among the disciples, they will definitely target you. If you come from a wealthy family, they will isolate and exclude you. If you come from an ordinary family, they will directly threaten you and not allow you to go out and answer questions for us.

Until now, many disciples who were not born into privileged backgrounds were unwilling to do such things, but they could only take care of themselves and had no way to change the situation. I heard that Senior Brother Lu Zhi had talked about this matter with Master before, but there was no follow-up. "

Yuan Shu nodded slowly.

"A good school has been made to be like a government. They are so bold to use these tricks in front of me!"

Yuan Shu was angry.

Everyone who knows him knows that he hates people who bully others the most.

Since he doesn't bully others even though he has such status and position, how dare other little Karamis who are not as good as him bully others in front of him?

Even bullying him?
Dou Yun told Yuan Shu the names of more than a dozen people, including Wang Xiang, who had done these excessive things. Yuan Shu nodded and said that he would take care of the matter.

Then, he decided to chop off the claws that these bastards stretched out first, to let them know that he was an all-round existence with no blind spots in 360 degrees!
You are not worthy to target me!

So, Yuan Shu started to act again. This time, his actions were more violent and the force of his proactive attack was beyond imagination.

From June to the end of July, for nearly two months, Yuan Shu, with his extraordinary energy and physical strength, engaged in no less than three hundred debates with the group of Ma's disciples who depended on him for existence.

It was like entering a huge army and killing people, and leaving them seven times, leaving blood all over the place.

The final result is——

In 309 debates, he won 303 times, tied 6 times, and lost 0 times.

The reason why it is so controversial is that the topic itself is extremely controversial, and many great scholars since the Eastern Han Dynasty have been unable to give a convincing explanation.

In addition, the opponent's willpower was extraordinarily strong. He refused to admit defeat and refused to give up. Yuan Shu's bombardment could not break his spirit, so the game was considered a draw.

The remaining 303 times actually have some very controversial statements.

But the problem was that Yuan Shu's opponents in the debate could not withstand Yuan Shu's barrage of remarks. They were speechless and unable to hold their ground, and were blasted out.

This is the case for people who are not mentally strong enough and whose mentality is not strong enough. They have not lost yet, but they have admitted defeat in their hearts, and thus they lose.

Therefore, in addition to "the fierce ghost on the road" and "everyone's senior brother Yuan", Yuan Shu also had a title of "the undefeated Yuan prodigy in debate". In a practical sense, he became the recognized strongest talker among the group of Ma's disciples. His reputation soared and he was almost on par with Zheng Xuan, the strongest disciple who had defeated all the heroes at that time.

It must be said that this group of disciples who depend on the disciples for their existence do have some abilities, especially the six disciples faced in the six draws. Regardless of their academic level, each of them has strong willpower.

Under Yuan Shu's fierce verbal attack and mental shock, he actually managed to hold on.

It’s really not easy.

However, the draw of a few people could not conceal the overall failure of the entire group. At the academic level and at the debate level, Yuan Shu's reputation for suppressing an entire group alone had been established and was unshakable.

This also made the disciples behind these students terrified, and their fear and dread of Yuan Shu escalated into real fear.
