Chapter 4: Destroying what cannot be obtained, Yu Xiaogang's plan

"Forget it. Your Shrek Academy is so powerful, I suppose you won't miss one person like me."

"I still won't join."

With these thoughts in mind, Liu Yuan couldn't be bothered to waste any more time with Flender and the others.

He immediately rejected Flender's invitation to join Shrek Academy, turned around, and left the room.

Afterwards, he headed directly towards the direction where the villagers were.

He had already decided that after awakening his martial soul, he would expose Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and the others' true intentions.

He wanted the village to cut off all ties with this group of people.

He had already witnessed how they treated children with some talent but not strong enough.

It was clear that with a little effort, those children could become soul masters...

Yet, in Yu Xiaogang's words, those children became worthless and only fit for farming.

Furthermore, even if that child really couldn't cultivate, should he be humiliated by Yu Xiaogang like that?

A child who was innocent and full of expectations for awakening his martial soul, only to have Yu Xiaogang pour cold water on him, leaving him disheartened.

What made Yu Xiaogang's innate soul power half a rank higher so noble?

This made Liu Yuan feel extremely displeased.

At this moment, Liu Yuan walked directly to the villagers and informed them of his experiences and opinions.

"Village Chief, everyone, listen to me."

"Flender and Yu Xiaogang's group are not good people!"

"In fact, their academy is not an amazing academy at all. It's just a third-rate institution pretending to be something it's not!"

"As for that so-called master, Yu Xiaogang, he's a swindler who deceives and cheats people on the Douluo Continent. He doesn't have any real skills, he's just shameless and ruthless, and his only expertise lies in deception. He doesn't have many other abilities!"

"I noticed it when they were helping us with our martial soul awakenings. They didn't genuinely want to help us."

"Because when they were helping us awaken our martial souls, before the awakening was complete and our talents were determined, they were all enthusiastic. But once they found out that our awakened talents weren't good enough, their attitude turned ice-cold, and they even mercilessly insulted us."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Wang San. He was just humiliated by them, saying he wasn't worthy of becoming a soul master and should only farm."

The villagers and the village chief were all dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Although Liu Yuan was just a child, his status in the village was not low. Because he was a transmigrator, he had helped the village a lot with the knowledge from his previous life, so he had gained a lot of prestige in the village.

Now, hearing Liu Yuan's words, the village chief and the villagers instinctively chose to believe him and looked at the former child, asking, "Wang San, is what Liu Yuan said true?"

Wang San nodded in agreement with Liu Yuan's words.

The crowd immediately became furious, especially those with a more impulsive temperament. One of them exclaimed in annoyance, "What's wrong with farming? Does Yu Xiaogang not eat rice?"

Liu Yuan continued to address the crowd, "Wang San is just one example. Wang Qi was also humiliated just now. The difference is, he was humiliated for no reason. I checked earlier, and although his martial soul isn't great, he still has a second-level innate soul power. That kind of talent is definitely trainable. But in their mouths, it became a trash talent."

"If I hadn't noticed, Wang Qi might have been deceived by them and given up on cultivation. That would have been a waste!"

After hearing about this incident, the crowd was even more enraged.

They had thought that Flender and Yu Xiaogang were rare kind-hearted people, but it turned out they were wolves in sheep's clothing.

If Liu Yuan hadn't exposed them today, who knows how long they would have continued to deceive people!

And by then, who knows how many children's futures would have been ruined by this group of bastards.

With these thoughts in mind, the villagers rolled up their sleeves, ready to go home and pick up their farming tools to confront them.

"Don't act impulsively!"

However, Liu Yuan immediately stopped them in their tracks.

"Now that we're at their mercy, how can we confront them?"

"They are soul masters, and Flender is even a Soul Saint. How can we be their opponents?"

"I'm telling everyone the truth now just so that you won't be deceived. We should cut off all ties with them from now on."

"As soon as they come out to awaken martial souls, we'll say there are no six-year-old children in the village. That way, we can avoid them naturally."

The villagers nodded in agreement, feeling that Liu Yuan's words made a lot of sense.

The village chief made a decision on the spot, "When they come out later, we'll still treat them as we did before. However, don't believe a single word they say. Just quickly send them away and be done with it!"

The others nodded in agreement.

On the other side, inside the house, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others were extremely troubled.

They had finally found a genius, one whose talent far surpassed all the geniuses in Shrek Academy.

Naturally, they wanted to bring him into their fold!

But unfortunately, Liu Yuan was a tough nut to crack.

Although they hadn't spent much time with him, they could already sense from his words and actions that Liu Yuan was not easy to deal with.

Therefore, each of them was troubled inside the house, thinking about how to deceive Liu Yuan into going to Shrek Academy.

"It seems like there's no way..."

"Are we just giving up like this? If we could control such a genius..."

Yu Xiaogang said unwillingly. He really wanted someone like Liu Yuan, with such exceptional talent.

"Teacher, since we can't subdue him, why not get rid of him instead?"

Tang San quickly spoke up, making a throat-slitting gesture toward Yu Xiaogang and saying coldly.

After hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling a sense of regret deep inside.

But Tang San on the side continued to persuade him.

He was incredibly jealous of Liu Yuan's talent, so he wanted him dead as soon as possible. "Think about it carefully. No matter what we do, we can't control him. In that case, what does his talent have to do with us?"

"Even if it does, it would be a negative association. If he grows up in the future and joins some hostile forces... that would be troublesome."

"It's better to seize the opportunity and get rid of him quickly. After eliminating him, I'll be the first, and I am loyal to you."

When Yu Xiaogang heard this, his eyes lit up.

Indeed, although he coveted Liu Yuan's talent, since he couldn't have it, he might as well destroy it!

Besides, he had Tang San. As long as Tang San was outstanding, it would be enough.

But he soon became worried. "But how do we get rid of him? We can't just attack him directly, right? The villagers won't agree to that. Unless we kill all the villagers too."

Tang San shook his head. "No need for that trouble. We just need a few casual words to falsely accuse him of being a spirit master of evil souls."

"With the intelligence of those villagers, if we say a few words, we won't even need to lay a hand on him. They will be the first to kill that kid."

"What's so difficult about that?"
