In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 425: For the weak, fairness and justice are rare.

Wang Zhao strolled into the hall, meeting everyone's gazes with a kind smile.

"I happened to have tea with the prince today, and unexpectedly ended up getting caught up in some fun."

Wang Zhao's gaze first fell on Flanders.

"Dean Flander, it's been a long time."

"Alright, it's been a long time, Your Highness... "

Flander responded stiffly.

Upon seeing Wang Zhao's arrival, he seemed to recall the scene from several years ago when Wang Zhao made a grand entrance at the gate of Shrek Academy, which was then called "Shrek," and forced the academy to change its name, while also poaching a large number of students.

Why is that wolf here?!

So unlucky, so unlucky, so unlucky...

Flander's mind was in a state of confusion for a moment.

Wang Zhao simply smiled, his gaze sweeping lightly over Zhao Wuji, Li Yusong, the Seven Devils of Shilaike... and finally settling on Yu Xiaogang's face.

"Master?"

He shouted with a laugh.

Yu Xiaogang, whose name was called, had been huddled up like an ostrich. Just like when he saw the "Holy Son of the Spirit Hall" at the Soto Grand Arena a few days ago, for various reasons, he did not want to face either Wang Zhao or anyone from "Li Ming".

Now that she had been called out, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to step out from behind Flander.

His expression carried a hint of indifference, and a classic air of "neither humble nor arrogant".

"You can just call me Yu Xiaogang. Palace Master Wang, in front of you, the truly renowned 'Grand Tutor' of the entire continent, I am not worthy of the title 'Master'."

I didn't call you "Master," I called you "Great Master," you steamed shrimp head...

Wang Zhao's eyes were filled with a smile.

"A few days ago, the team from my Qianlong Academy that went out for training returned. According to the information they brought back, the students of your Shilake Academy this year are truly extraordinary and full of hidden talents."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?

Does this refer to the Seven Devils of Shillake, who were defeated by the Seven Dragon Girls team in one and a half minutes?

Some people present had strange expressions.

Wang Zhao's gaze returned to Flander.

"It seems that since that incident, Shillake Academy has been rebuilt from the ashes, and Dean Flander's educational improvements must have played a significant role in that, right? Otherwise, how could it attract so many geniuses to join? Hmm, it can't still be relying on trickery and deception..."

"Eh? Eh? Eh!"

Flanders sensed something was amiss and quickly interrupted Wang Zhao, then cautiously said:

"My Lord, please don't slander someone's reputation out of thin air. As for Shilake's progress today, well, it's all thanks to your wise rebuke back then. It made me reflect deeply and realize my mistakes in time."

Seeing Flander's nonchalant expression, Wang Zhao chuckled.

The attitude is very proper.

"Alright, enough of the small talk. It's time to end this farce."

Suddenly, Wang Zhao waved his hand, and the atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive again.

Xue Xing took a half step forward and stood beside him, subtly indicating that he was the leader. As for Xue Beng, he didn't dare to get close to Wang Zhao.

Because of Xue Beng's physical problems, although it was his own fault, he did indeed "benefit" from Wang Zhao back then. He understood that Wang Zhao didn't think much of him, and he didn't get along with Wang Zhao, so he just followed behind Xue Xing.

Xue Xing seemed to whisper something to Wang Zhao, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Flander was sweating profusely without realizing it. In the silence, he noticed Wang Zhao looking at him again, so he gritted his teeth and seized the opportunity to ask, "Lord, do you also think that we, the Shilake, are at fault in this matter?"

Wang Zhao raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You're not wrong, and neither are Xuexing and the others. You could say both sides are wrong. Although Xuebeng was the one who made the mistake first, it's not a big deal for you, with your confidence, to teach Xuebeng a lesson. The key issue is that you went too far in your lesson."

Upon hearing Wang Zhao's words, Flander's face fell. He looked at Dai Mubai, only to see that Dai Mubai's face was also full of regret.

Indeed, Wang Zhao's words make a lot of sense.

But according to what he had just learned from Dai Mubai, Dai Mubai's kick was purely out of anger, and the relapse of Xue Beng's old injury was completely accidental, due to Dai Mubai's bad luck.

Where can I go to reason with this?

Ultimately, it's still a matter of insufficient strength...

Flander looked at Xue Beng's severed arm, then at Wang Zhao, and thought that he remembered that according to the rumors circulating in the Soul Master world back then, Xue Beng, the Prince of Tian Dou, lost his arm (the story of his ability being affected in that aspect was not circulated) and it seemed that it was also because he provoked this Lord of the Dragon King Palace.

Both Xue Beng, that纨绔 (playboy), suffered greatly after instigating trouble, while Wang Zhao was completely unharmed, and even the Tian Dou royal family had to apologize to him; but Shi Lai Ke, because of their weakness, was rightfully subjected to questioning and punishment.

Regardless of whether Wang Zhao is upholding justice today, even if Wang Zhao is biased towards the Heaven Dou royal family and wants to domineeringly take down all of them, what can they do?

You have to understand, Wang Zhao defeated the Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a year ago. Taking them down would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Survival of the fittest...

Flanders now deeply understands this.

Wang Zhao concluded, "I'm not taking sides. Dai Mubai, who did the fighting, stay. The rest of you, leave. Don't make me say it a second time."

It still doesn't work...

Flanders glanced at Wang Zhao with a somber expression, but there was no resentment in his eyes, because he knew that Wang Zhao's judgment was already fair.

Although the three major education committees had originally given the same result, Flander still had the will to gather the strength of all teachers and students to resist a little, but when faced with Wang Zhao, such an extremely powerful person, they could not muster any will to resist.

Behind Xuexing, Xue Beng hesitated again, but after Xuexing glared at him, he could only remain silent.

Xue Xing then looked at Wang Zhao, but didn't say anything, appearing to have no objection whatsoever.

"Flanders..."

Among Shilaike's group, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Dai Mubai, whose face was deathly pale, and a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes. Then she tugged at Flander's sleeve, signaling him to agree with Wang Zhao's words.

Although it was very disheartening for the Seven Devils of Shilaike to suddenly lose such an important member as Dai Mubai, they couldn't let the entire Shilaike faculty and students suffer along with Dai Mubai...

Besides, Xue Xing said Dai Mubai is the Star Luo Prince, so perhaps nothing bad will happen to him. Is it possible that he'll be "released" soon?

Flander thought of many things in an instant, and finally looked at Dai Mubai with a complicated expression.

When Dai Mubai met Flander's gaze, he realized that Flander and the other teachers at Shilake could no longer protect him. His face grew even paler, and he finally staggered out.

"I'll go with you..."
