Except for a few books, in most other books, no matter whether the protagonist is righteous or evil, the world in the book becomes a better place because of the protagonist's actions, and ordinary people can live and work in peace.
But this is the biggest problem with the original Douluo Dalu series. In my opinion, the existence of successive protagonists seems to have not only failed to make the world better, but made it worse.
The Spirit Hall was destroyed in Dou Yi, and the evil spirit masters were in power in Dou Er. The spirit system of Dou Er was born, and the spirit beasts of Dou Er were almost extinct. I haven't watched Dou Er and Dou Si, but I think there must be some problems or villains left over from Dou Er that were truly solved in Dou Er Si.
The Fallen in the first battle were not Tang San's enemies, so Tang San did not deal with them. Even in the second battle, he had time to target Orange, but did not deal with the remnants of the evil spirit master. This Shura God is really ironic.

Chapter 243 Shrek's First Visit to Tiandou City
"Finally home."
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar gate of Tiandou City, Xiao Wu's excitement was beyond words.
Notting City is good everywhere. The carrot and meat buns made by Old Jack are delicious. Everyone in the Spirit Hall likes her very much. Little Wu's reputation is still there. The security guards of the academy still remember her and let her go to the academy to play when she is free.
But Notting City is really too small, there are not many places to play, and there is nothing interesting to do in the market. Tiandou City at least has a fighting arena where you can fight. Except for Gu You, Tang San and Lanta, everyone else in Notting City is qualified to fight with her.
Gu You and Tang San were too strong for Xiao Wu to defeat. Lan Ta was too low level and could not defeat Xiao Wu. This made Xiao Wu restless and she clamored to return to Tian Dou City.
Looking at Xiao Wu who was excitedly preparing to run into the city, Tang San said quickly: "Xiao Wu, don't play for too long. School will start tomorrow. Let's go back to find Sister Yiran first."
According to the original plan, the group should have returned to Tiandou City a week before the start of school. However, due to Su Yuntao and Sisi's wedding, the trip was delayed for a week.
As early as the end of last year, Su Yuntao successfully broke through to level 30, and proposed to Sisi the next day after the breakthrough. Unexpectedly, this incident happened, and Su Yuntao went on a business trip without getting married.
Gu You also secretly asked Sister Sisi whether Brother Tao said "We will get married when I come back" before he left.
As a result, Sisi burst into laughter after hearing this, and asked Gu Yousu Yuntao how could he say such a thing?
No wonder, Gu You suddenly realized. Now he knew why Chang Wei appeared on his side instead of looking for Tang San. The reason was Su Yuntao.
Because Su Yuntao did not set a flag, it was destined that Chang Wei would not choose the place where Su Yuntao was.
After the wedding, they went back to Holy Spirit Village to help Old Jack clean up. Tang San also took the time to help the villagers refurbish their damaged farm tools before they set out on the journey back to Tiandou City.
"I know, Third Brother is so nagging." Xiao Wu made a face, grabbed Lanta's hand and ran inside. After running into the city gate, Xiao Wu's voice came from inside: "Let's see who gets home first, the competition begins!"
"Tsk, childish." Gu You looked at Tang San, with the words "I don't want to be associated with him" written on his face. Then another sentence came.
"The loser will be responsible for cleaning up Brother Wednesday's lab for a day~~~~"
"Xiao Wu! You￥＃％＊$^%@#^】—"
Clean Tang San's lab for a week? Recalling the extremely strict laboratory hygiene standards he had set himself, Gu You was so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly, and pulled Tang San inside.
A minute later, same place.
"Is this Tiandou City? It's just so-so."
A muscular man with long golden hair looked up at the huge words "Tian Dou" on the city gate, and his evil eyes naturally showed disdain.
Next to him, a bearded man was completely different. Pink bubbles seemed to be constantly popping up around him, and his big peach eyes were full of longing and expectation, "Boss Dai, we can actually come to Tiandou City. I wonder what the quality of the girls here is like."
"Xiao Ao, can you please be more promising? Can you learn from the skinny guy?" Looking at the expression of the man next to him who looked like he had finally reached the utopia after going through untold hardships, the muscular man felt completely ashamed.
Regardless of his secret identity, the man said directly: "This Tiandou City is just like this. No wonder it is only the third largest city in Douluo. It is not even one-tenth of Xingluo City."
"How come I have no future?" Hearing the words of the muscular man, the bearded man was unhappy. "This is Tiandou City, the second largest city in the continent, second only to Wuhun City. It's normal for me to yearn for this place. Skinny, what do you think?"
They both turned their heads at the same time and looked at the thin red-haired man following behind them.
The red-haired man raised his head slightly with his lowered eyes and looked at the huge word "Tiandou" shining in the sun. He raised his hand to cover his eyes, "It looks a bit dazzling..."
“I’m not asking you that…”
These two people are Dai Mobai and Oscar from Shrek Academy. The thin red-haired man with a world-weary expression following behind them is Ma Hongjun.
Watching these three people playing and fighting, the teachers from Shrek Academy who followed behind them had faint smiles on their faces.
“I didn’t expect that Qin Ming could actually make the deal happen.” Li Yusong exclaimed.
Although Qin Ming did not say it directly, he knew that Qin Ming was able to become the leader of the Royal Fighting Team at such a young age, and his status must be very high.
But Li Yusong was still surprised that someone was so powerful that he could convince the three education committee members of Tiandou and even the Tiandou royal family to let a group of people of unknown origin into the Tiandou Royal Academy.
"Hahaha, don't you see whose disciple he is?" Zhao Wuji laughed.
"Old Zhao, don't give me that." Seeing Zhao Wuji's proud expression, the other three became anxious. It seemed like Old Zhao was trying to steal the credit.
"What do you mean? Xiao Qinming is not your disciple alone. He was taught by all of us together."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji was immediately unhappy. "Little Qin Ming has a beast spirit and a strong attack system. How can you teach the three of you, one food-type auxiliary system, one weapon spirit and a control system, and one weapon spirit and a strong attack system?"
"And I," Zhao Wuji patted his chest, his face full of pride and his nose almost turned up to the sky, "The martial soul is the mighty King Kong Bear, and the beast martial soul is the strong attack system. His chief teacher must be me."
"Why didn't you say it in front? You are a field type, and Xiao Qinming is an armor-piercing type, why didn't you say it?" Li Yusong retorted, and Lu Qibin and Shao Xin nodded repeatedly beside him, "That's right."
Seeing that the three of them not only refused to agree, but were even trying to sabotage him, Zhao Wuji felt a little embarrassed and decided to solve the problem in the most direct way between soul masters.
He raised his sandbag-sized fist and shook it, "Why, I'm not wrong, you guys don't like it, do you want to find a place to practice?"
"tsk"
The three of them curled their lips at the same time, and Shao Xin even rolled his eyes. A Soul Sage with a martial soul avatar, not only did he fight two Soul Emperors, but he also fought a food-type auxiliary soul master. Look at how capable you are.
Behind these four noisy people are the dean of Shrek Academy, "Four-eyed Owl" Flanders, and the former "Master" Yu Xiaogang.
Looking at the two noisy groups of people, one had a relieved smile on his face, while the other frowned, as if somewhat dissatisfied with the situation.
"Xiao Gang, my students are pretty good, aren't they?"
Looking at the majestic and magnificent Tiandou City in front of him, Flanders felt filled with emotion.
Looking at the glittering golden words "Tian Dou", the profiteer gene in Flanders' body not only did not appear, but his eyes were filled with respect and yearning.
Flanders didn't even dare to think about a soul master holy land like Wuhun City, but if he could gain a foothold in Tiandou City, it would be an explanation for his soul master career and a perfect end.
Some time ago, Qin Ming wrote to say that he had successfully persuaded the three education committee members to accept all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy and let everyone join Tiandou Royal Academy. He also guaranteed to treat everyone equally and not lose a penny of the money and training resources they deserve.
Moreover, he agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request. Not only was he willing to hand over the Tiandou Team 2 to Shrek, he was also willing to hand over the naming rights and even the right to select team members, which Flanders thought was excessive, to himself and others.
I knew earlier that unlike the Tiandou Team 1, which represented the face of the royal family and whose only criterion was combat effectiveness, the Royal Team 2 was more of a private reserve for princes and nobles, and nobles who did not have a say in Tiandou could not put their children in it.
To what extent is this situation well-known? Even Flanders, who just passed through Tiandou City and did not stay there for a long time, knew about it. This shows how big the problems Tiandou Team 2 is facing now.
Under such circumstances, Qin Ming was able to convince the three education committee members to withstand the pressure from the nobles and, against all odds, rename the Tiandou Team 2 to the Shrek Team.
Even if there is only one chance, only in the next competition, Flanders has already fulfilled his wish of "making Shrek appear in the whole continent".
Seeing this man with the same expression as Zhao Wuji just now, Yu Xiaogang did not say anything. Instead, he took advantage of Flanders's pride to walk a few steps faster and rolled his eyes where Flanders could not see.
Qin Ming is your student, not my, Yu Xiaogang's, student. What's the point of you telling me this? Should I be happy for you?
The corners of his stiff face turned down for a moment, and Yu Xiaogang said, "Flanders, do you think the other thing Qin Ming said is true?"
Qin Ming mentioned in the letter that the current captain of the Tiandou Royal Academy's first team is an amazing genius, has a lot of ideas, and has enough ability to promote the realization of his ideas.
If Shrek's three juniors are willing and pass his review and are considered to have met the standards for joining the first team, that is, the Royal Fighting Team, then they will have the opportunity to step onto the stage of the Continental Soul Master Competition with more outstanding teammates.
Tiandou Royal Academy Team—Huangdou Team!
This name alone is enough to make 45% of the soul masters in the entire continent excited.
Being able to join this team means that your talent and strength are recognized as surpassing 99% of the people in Douluo Continent (younger generation). As long as you work hard, it will be easy to become a Soul Saint Soul Douluo in the future, not to mention the Titled Douluo.
The reason why only 45% of the soul masters are excited is because the other 45% of the soul masters would rather join the Xingluo Royal Academy team.
The last 10% of soul masters didn't want to participate and only wanted to go to the Spirit Hall Academy.
Thinking of the Royal Fighting Team that gathered almost all the young geniuses in the vast Tiandou Empire, Yu Xiaogang swallowed his saliva and felt a surge of heat in his heart.
Flanders, who had no idea that Yu Xiaogang had no interest in the Tiandou Second Team under the name of Shrek Academy, but was focused on the Huangdou Team, nodded and said, "Qin Ming wrote very clearly in the letter that the three of them have a chance to join the first team. Since he mentioned this in the letter, it is likely to be true."
"However, if they can really join the Royal Fighting Team, they can no longer use the name Shrek." When he said this, Flanders couldn't help but look bitter.
"Flanders, we have to think about the children." Yu Xiaogang said calmly with a righteous look on his face: "We all know what kind of people most of the students at Tiandou Royal Academy are like. Is it really okay for the children to team up with these people?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Flanders wanted to refute, saying that he and these old friends would definitely make them change. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say a word, and finally sighed helplessly.
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang's tone softened a little, "Flanders, even if there is only one chance, I know you really want the name Shrek to appear in front of the world. But we have to be responsible for the children and the students."
"The next Soul Master Competition is still two to six months away. After Mu Bai and Xiao Ao participate in this Soul Master Competition, they won't have another chance."
“Just for the false reputation of Shrek Academy, are you going to let these three geniuses who will surely be Soul Sects by then, along with teammates who may only be Soul Venerables, or who may have just broken through to Soul Venerables and have insufficient combat experience, fight against geniuses from other academies?”
Seeing that Flanders was speechless, Yu Xiaogang walked over and put his hands on Flanders' shoulders. "As teachers, we can't act on impulse and put our own needs above the needs of our students. We must put our students first."
"Could it be that the championship they won under the name of Tiandou Royal Academy does not include a part of Shrek Academy?"
Flanders fell into silence. Seeing him like this, Yu Xiaogang didn't want to say anything more.
“Flanders, think carefully about what your original intention was in establishing Shrek Academy.” After saying that, Yu Xiaogang turned and left, leaving Flanders alone to think.
Unlike Flanders, who was worried and anxious after seeing Qin Ming's letter, Yu Xiaogang felt only ecstasy and excitement after reading Qin Ming's letter.
His goal at this stage is very clear, which is to try every possible means to get these three people into one team, that is, the Royal Fighting Team.
Yu Xiaogang knew very well that if he wanted to restore his former reputation, it would not be enough to just take three disciples to participate in the preliminaries.
The finals, the key lies in the finals. If you want to be famous in the whole continent, you must at least enter the finals and win a game.
But it was so difficult. There were 28 teams in the Tiandou City Division, competing for only five spots in the final round. Even if the three of them were already soul masters by then, it would be extremely difficult to get into the top five.
Not to mention that the Five Elements Academies (including the Elephant Armor Academy) are all in the Tiandou City competition area. As the five strongest academies in the Tiandou Empire besides the Tiandou Royal Academy, these five places can be said to be divided among these five academies.
There is one quota for each element, which is just enough.
Going to Tiandou Team 2, not only do you need to fight with the most elite talents of these five academies with four dragging members, but you also have to ensure that you are not overturned by other academies.
The pressure is so great that you have to go all out in all 27 battles. Not to mention saving your trump cards for the final round, even if you use all your trump cards in the preliminaries, you may not be able to make it into the top five.
But if you can successfully enter the first team, you can not only skip the preliminaries and better preserve your time, but also collect intelligence on all the academies in advance, except for the Wuhun Hall Academy team and Xingluo Royal Academy team, which are also recommended, so as to prepare for the opportunity and formulate tactics to be used when encountering these academies in advance.
It's easy to make it to the semi-finals, and it's not impossible to win the championship with some luck.
And then... Yu Xiaogang seemed to have thought of something, and an ambiguous smile appeared on his face.
It seems that no friends remember that the Tiandou team was recommended and did not need to play the preliminaries... I watched Oppenheimer for the second time. I can only say that this movie is really good. Nolan is really good at filming men. Please recommend and monthly votes~~~
