Chapter 30: The Blind Douluo Sisters Have Arrived
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Oh my god! Is it really this explosive!?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Whoa—?]
[Group Member No. 9: Su Yan, thank goodness you didn't spoil it earlier. With a preview this insane, if we didn't get the full story afterward, we really wouldn't be able to live.]
[The Moon of My Childhood: So this is the true face of the chat group?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Su Yan! Don't you think you're going too far!?]
[Bibi Dong: What gives you the right to slander Xiao Gang like this!?]
[I Am an Orphan: The Blind Douluo Sisters have arrived—everyone make way!]
[Everyone: The Blind Douluo Sisters have arrived—everyone make way!]
This line instantly sent Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong into a fury.
Su Yan was slandering someone, and the group of idiots in the chat group? They all followed along, further blackening his reputation.
A bunch of little haters.
[Su Yan: "There are no useless martial souls—only useless soul masters." Since Yu Xiaogang can't even break through rank 30… doesn't that mean he's calling himself trash?]
[Carrot Lover: Sounds about right.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: This is exactly what I've always wanted to complain about. If he has no talent, then he has no talent. Not everyone is a genius. But Yu Xiaogang keeps trying to attract attention and act mysterious—that's why people laugh at him.]
[I Am an Orphan: You're absolutely right. I've investigated these past few days. Yu Xiaogang has serious issues, and now I fully understand why his clan kicked him out.]
[Hu Liena: Yu Xiaogang is truly shameless! Stealing Spirit Hall's research, then turning around to claim he created his own "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls"? I've never seen someone so thick-skinned!]
Hu Liena had read the investigation reports with Qian Renxue these past few days and had been holding in her anger the whole time.
[Bibi Dong: Hu Liena, shut your mouth!]
[Hu Liena: I, Hu Liena, am sworn enemies with Yu Xiaogang!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: So… you're protecting Bibi Dong on one hand, and swearing to kill Yu Xiaogang on the other?]
[Group Member No. 9: Left brain attacking right brain?]
Nuoding Academy.
At this moment—
Su Yan and the others had arrived at the competition grounds. Today was their class's graduation assessment, so virtually every teacher and student in the academy had gathered.
Of course—
This wasn't some intense tournament. It was just an end-of-year test before graduation, to see what everyone had learned over the years.
Those with talent would move on to higher-level soul master academies.
Those without talent… would graduate and find a normal job.
[Su Yan: Yu Xiaogang was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. His father is the clan leader, Yu Yuanzhen. Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, mutated into Luo Sanpao—a creature resembling a pig, but with a fully materialized form and independent intelligence.]
[Su Yan: Yu Xiaogang thinks this is a malignant martial soul mutation, but that's not necessarily the case. It could be a blessing in disguise—who can really tell good from bad?]
[Su Yan: Whether a mutation is "good" or "bad" doesn't matter. A martial soul that mutates is taking a step forward. If its master has talent, it evolves. If not, it mutates.]
[Su Yan: I won't say too much about martial soul mutations now—they involve certain secrets. You'll all see in the future.]
[Su Yan: For now, let's discuss whether Yu Xiaogang actually has any real ability.]
[Bibi Dong: Why won't you talk about that!?]
[Bibi Dong: Xiao Gang's martial soul mutated into trash. How could he possibly break through rank 30?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Su Yan, explain it properly!]
[I Am an Orphan: You two want to know? Keep dreaming!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: I suspect Su Yan is hiding it on purpose… but I have no proof! Hahaha!]
[Carrot Lover: Of course he can't say it! If he told them, they'd definitely run off to report it to that annoying Yu Xiaogang. Then they'd use it to curry favor with him. Just thinking about it makes me sick.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Clever!]
[Cat in the Shadows: Let's keep watching.]
[Su Yan: Now let's talk about Yu Xiaogang's so-called "Top Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls." I say it straight—this thing is full of holes. Does anyone disagree?]
[Everyone: Agree.]
[Bibi Dong: Most of what Xiaogang summarized is correct. Even if there are some small flaws, they aren't a big deal.]
[Liu Erlong: Nonsense! Even if there are flaws, that's not Xiaogang's fault. It's already incredible that he managed to do this much. Xiaogang is truly outstanding.]
[Su Yan: Two shameless bootlickers! Especially you, Bibi Dong—Spirit Hall's ungrateful white-eyed wolf. Yu Xiaogang's theories exist only because you helped him steal research from Spirit Hall. Otherwise, how could a useless man like him access the Spirit Hall's recorded data?]
[Su Yan: He reads through Spirit Hall's accumulated records from hundreds of years, then summarizes and calls it his own theory. And that's what you call "talent"?]
Pope's Palace.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was so furious she was grinding her teeth—but she still had no grounds to refute him.
No.
[Bibi Dong: The theories were summarized by Xiaogang himself. How does he not have talent?]
[Su Yan: Don't start licking just yet, Bibi Dong. Aren't you even a little curious? Spirit Hall's data is perfectly fine—so how did Yu Xiaogang's theories end up full of holes?]
[I Am an Orphan: Logically speaking, if Yu Xiaogang copied Spirit Hall's research, there shouldn't be any issues with it, right?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan both have records. Yu Xiaogang should have read everything. There shouldn't be any mistakes.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: It is strange. If there were problems in the data, it wouldn't have been officially recorded, right?]
[Hu Liena: I haven't seen a single error in the Spirit Hall records. So where would the problem even come from?]
[Hu Liena: Teacher… did you help him steal the pirated version?]
[The Moon of My Childhood: That's it! Mystery solved!]
[Bibi Dong: Hu Liena!! You brat—get back to Spirit City this instant!]
[Hu Liena: I, Hu Liena, swear to protect Teacher Bibi Dong with my life.]
Bibi Dong nearly exploded on the spot.
Her only disciple who supported her unconditionally… had defected?
But more importantly—
Su Yan's question actually left her momentarily stunned.
Spirit Hall's data wouldn't be wrong.
If there were concerns, they would be clearly noted.
So… where did the problem really come from?
[Su Yan: The issue is simple—Yu Xiaogang could never copy everything word-for-word. He had to summarize and modify it. Otherwise, if it were identical to Spirit Hall's records, a single announcement from Spirit Hall would expose him as a fraud.]
[Su Yan: And because of that, think carefully—how could a mere Soul Grandmaster who can't even break through rank 30 conduct comprehensive analysis, experiments, or validation to prove whether these conclusions are correct?]
The moment everyone read Su Yan's words, they understood everything.
Whether it was Spirit Hall's archives or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's records, top-tier forces would never record false information.
If Yu Xiaogang copied them exactly, there would be no issue.
But he couldn't copy them exactly. If he did, Spirit Hall could expose him instantly, and he would become a clown.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang had to revise the data. He inserted his own "insights" and interpretations.
And the question was—
What "insight" could someone with the vision of a mere Soul Grandmaster possibly have?
