Chapter 31: The Truth Is the Sharpest Blade
[I Am an Orphan: If he had copied it word for word, there would definitely be no loopholes. Both the Spirit Hall and the Blue Tyrant Family would need to investigate and verify the contents of the information.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Exactly. Some records require several generations to verify. If you get something wrong, you're basically dooming your own descendants.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: And confirming all that takes enormous manpower and resources. It's absolutely impossible to do it just by theorizing on paper.]
[Cat in the Shadows: So when Yu Xiaogang took the documents and casually rewrote things, it's only natural that loopholes appeared everywhere.]
[Group Member No.9: Not to mention, his "comprehensive revisions" were stuffed with his own theories and guesses. A mere twenty-ninth-rank soul grandmaster can't possibly have the vision needed for that.]
[Group Member No.9: If Yu Xiaogang had found a Title Douluo to help him back then, he might've succeeded. His theories might've even been included in academic textbooks. Then Yu Xiaogang would've become a real Grandmaster.]
[I Am an Orphan: You're thinking too simply. If he really did that and produced correct theories, the credit and fame would never belong to him in the first place.]
To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang is acting like a clown, messing around for attention. Spirit Hall would just laugh it off.
But if Yu Xiaogang used their data to produce something truly valuable, would Spirit Hall really allow him to take their achievements and use them to gain fame?
[Su Yan: Group Member No.9, you're too one-sided. As long as you take some time to understand Yu Xiaogang, you'll find he's arrogant, conceited, and full of himself. Clearly worthless, yet his pride is higher than anyone else's.]
[Su Yan: Remember when he took Tang San for his first soul ring hunt? He almost wiped their team right there. If Tang San hadn't been a transmigrator with the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record and hidden weapons, the two of them would've died on the spot.]
[Everyone: ???]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: The first soul ring?]
[The Moon of My Childhood: The first soul ring should've been taken outside the Hunting Forest at the empire's soul master training grounds, right?]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Ahahahahaha!!!]
[I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong, you're an actual clown. Hurry up and find a circus to perform in!]
[Cat in the Shadows: As expected—there are no useless martial souls, only useless "Master."]
[Group Member No.9: This chat group is getting more and more fun.]
[Hu Liena: Hahaha!]
Nuoding Academy
Xiao Wu watched the match while simultaneously reading the messages flowing through the chat group in her spiritual sea.
Mhm.
Everyone was absolutely right. Everyone was absolutely justified.
The little rabbit wasn't exactly the brightest,
but that didn't stop her from agreeing wholeheartedly.
Especially when Su Yan brought up Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's first soul ring hunt, Xiao Wu nearly burst out laughing on the spot.
[Carrot Lover: Bad woman, come out and defend yourself!]
Spirit Hall
At this moment, Bibi Dong truly felt like a clown.
Yet in her heart, she was still trying to defend Yu Xiaogang.
A bunch of haters!
None of you knows how hard Xiao Gang worked.
None of you know how desperately he tried to overcome the flaws of his useless martial soul!
You don't understand him at all—
So what gives you the right to mock him?
However…
What made Bibi Dong the angriest was that she had no way to refute any of it.
Yu Xiaogang's so-called theories were completely dismantled by Su Yan and the group members. Their reasoning was so precise that even Bibi Dong had to admit—
Yes… That's exactly how it is.
Blue Tyrant Academy
Liu Erlong was the same. Furious, she slapped her hand down and crushed a flower she had been growing for years.
Damn it!
You bastards are too much!
You don't know how hard Xiao Gang worked!
You don't know how good he is!
You don't know his talent— sob sob sob!
Just like Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong was so angry she cried. Yet she couldn't find a single argument to refute them.
Lies don't hurt people— the truth is the sharpest blade.
If Su Yan had been slandering him, Liu Erlong would've fought tooth and nail to defend Yu Xiaogang. But the problem was…
Everything Su Yan said was absolutely correct.
Liu Erlong was so furious that she burst into tears. She couldn't even think of a single argument to defend Yu Xiaogang. All she could do was watch in despair as the group members mocked and ridiculed him.
[Su Yan: Now then—regarding Yu Xiaogang being trash, Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong… do either of you still have anything to say?]
Bibi Dong was silent.
Liu Erlong was in utter despair.
[Su Yan: Next, let me explain why I say Yu Xiaogang is not only trash, but also a pervert and scum. Because he personally ruined the lives of two beautiful women!]
[Su Yan: Those two women are Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong—one, the Saintess of Spirit Hall; the other, his own cousin.]
[Su Yan: My dream is to give all the beautiful women in the world a home. Yet this bastard dared to hurt and abandon them. Just thinking about it makes me grit my teeth in rage!]
[Everyone: ???]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Does this mean the exciting part is coming up?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Finally… wait, why do I suddenly feel like something is off?]
[I Am an Orphan: "All the beautiful women in the world… a home"?]
[Hu Liena: ???]
[Group Member No.9: That's quite the ambitious dream.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Six.]
[Bibi Dong: Scumbag, your true colors are showing!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Bah!]
[Su Yan: I'm a traditional man. I grew up as an orphan, so I've always feared loneliness. If I have the ability, I want to take multiple wives to build a large family. What's wrong with that?]
[Everyone: …]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: I mean… well… when you say it like that, there's nothing wrong.]
[Yan Zi is Not Swallow: Clearly, you're just a playboy, yet somehow I can't refute it?!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Pure scumbag!]
[The Moon of My Childhood: Honestly, it's not that strange. On the Douluo Continent, powerful men rarely have only one wife.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Very common, actually.]
[Carrot Lover: Hmph~ A philandering Carrot!]
Indeed, no one found it strange. In a feudal aristocratic world, only the naive little rabbit would be shocked. Everyone else was used to the idea of multiple wives.
Let alone on the Douluo Continent, where martial soul inheritance made it even more normal.
[Group Member No.9: I think I understand why you hate Yu Xiaogang so much now. You're jealous of his romantic encounters, right?]
[Su Yan: I'm a man who speaks the truth… and Group Member No.9, you're absolutely right!]
[Bibi Dong: ???]
Nuoding Academy
"The third match—Tang San versus Su Yan!"
As soon as the teacher announced it from the stage, all eyes turned toward Su Yan.
Xiao Wu and Wang Sheng both froze, staring in disbelief.
"Tang San and Su Yan?"
"How did the academy arrange this matchup?"
Su Yan had originally thought his turn wouldn't come until the afternoon. He had even planned to continue exposing Yu Xiaogang.
But suddenly being called up like this? Something was off.
No—
His gaze moved toward Yu Xiaogang in the distance.
The man sat among the teachers in the spectator's area, expression cold, looking like the whole situation had nothing to do with him.
Clearly… This arrangement was intentional.
Boom—
Tang San could no longer hold back.
He leapt directly onto the stage.
Seeing Xiao Wu constantly sticking close to Su Yan had made him angrier and angrier. His jealousy had reached its limit—
To the point, he wanted to wrap Su Yan with a hundred "Mother's" Binding.
Courting death!
