The characters across Douluo, whether from Douluo I or other eras.

Most knew very little about Yu Xiaogang, having only heard of his title as a Grandmaster of theory.

But unexpectedly, Liang Hao's argument with Bibi Dong led him to spill all of Yu Xiaogang's dirty secrets in one go.

Just like that, nearly everyone knew who this Gangzi was.

In the Light Screen Chat Group.

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "Well, damn, so this is what Grandmaster Anus is really like?"

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "If Liang Hao hadn't said anything, I'd never have known. Turns out Grandmaster Anus is just that fucking amazing!"

[Douluo I Ma Hongjun]: "No kindness, no righteousness, no loyalty, no filial piety—he's maxed out every one. He really is a freak of the Soul Master World!"

[Douluo I Oscar]: "The main thing is, those theories of Grandmaster Anus's-I was wondering why they sounded so familiar."

[Douluo I Oscar]: "Turns out a lot of them were common knowledge in the Soul Master World, and he actually published them?"

[Douluo I Oscar]: "Water that's too clear has no fish; a man who's shameless enough is invincible! Looks like Grandmaster Anus has a profound grasp of that truth."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "How embarrassing... Hey, what's-his-name, where's Yu Xiaogang? Weren't you acting all high and mighty earlier, saying Liang Hao was slandering you?"

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Come out and say something! Cat got your tongue now?"

[Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "Huh? Is Grandmaster Yu really that kind of person? That's not what we learned in history class..."

[Douluo II Huo Yuhao]: "Could it be that, after ten thousand years, a lot of things weren't passed down?"

[Douluo II Mu En]: "If what Liang Hao says is true, could our XX really be such a scoundrel?"

[Douluo II Mu En]: "Alas, how could a grandmaster who has enjoyed such renown since ancient times be like this? I'm his XX, too! I suddenly feel so ashamed..."

[Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King Yun Ming]: "It really is embarrassing. Grandmaster Yu's name is still known in our era."

[Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King Yun Ming]: "Looking at it this way, there are probably many secrets hidden beneath the surface. We descendants are only learning about them now, too."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Looks like this Gangzi was really good at marketing himself. He even marketed himself twenty thousand years into the future."

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "@[Douluo I Yu Xiaogang]. Grandmaster Anus, come out and say something!"

[Douluo I Ning Rongrong]: "Liang Hao is slandering you like this, and you're still not going to refute him?"

Ning Rongrong really couldn't stand him. Now that Liang Hao had revealed the truth, she was determined to give Gangzi a thorough humiliation.

Who told Gangzi to show off in front of her earlier?

But the more she tagged him, the less Yu Xiaogang dared to speak up.

He knew the things Liang Hao had said were true, and he also knew his popularity had sunk to rock bottom. If he rashly replied, these people would only insult him even more.

Outside Heaven Dou City.

Yu Xiaogang had stopped walking long ago. Now, in the Light Screen Chat Group, Ning Rongrong was still tagging him again and again.

Yu Xiaogang clenched both fists, so furious that he wanted nothing more than to charge in and kill Ning Rongrong.

"Fine! Just fine!"

"Since when could even a little brat piss on this Grandmaster's head like this?!"

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, just you wait! You've angered this Grandmaster, and I'll destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect no matter the cost!"

"And that Liang Hao! That brat has some nerve, insulting me like this!"

"What does he mean, I have no kindness? I drew on the theories of those who came before me and published them for the benefit of Soul Masters everywhere. That counts as having no kindness?!"

"What does he mean, no righteousness? I made public the theories I painstakingly researched, even though they still lacked some verification. How is that unrighteous?"

"As for having no loyalty or filial piety, that's even more of a blatant slander against me!"

The more Yu Xiaogang spoke, the angrier he became. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails were about to dig into his flesh.

He continued cursing and arguing back. "Erlong is my cousin. I left her for the sake of her reputation. How is that disloyal?"

"My father never thought highly of me, so why should I go back? How am I unfilial?!"

"This Liang Hao is targeting me! You're all targeting me!!"

"I'm a Grandmaster of theory! I'm the Horn of Wisdom! What would a bunch of vulgar fools like you know?"

"Liang Hao casually smears me with a few words, and every one of you starts mocking and sneering at me!"

"Hmph, all of you just wait! There's absolutely nothing wrong with my theories!"

"You don't believe me, but you believe Liang Hao, is that it?"

"Fine, go ahead and believe him! Believe him about eating Whale Rubber and obtaining a Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

"When the time comes, let's see if you can still survive!"

"My theories are the correct ones! Sooner or later, I'll prove myself!"

Yu Xiaogang's emotions had nearly driven him into madness: his judgments had failed time and again, Liang Hao had slapped him in the face time and again, and Ning Rongrong and the others had insulted him time and again.

It would have been unnatural for him to remain calm now.

But he also knew full well that what Liang Hao had said was true. He simply refused to admit it.

Otherwise, he would have gone in to debate long ago. Why would he be here, raging like a madman all by himself?

Yu Xiaogang continued to grit his teeth as he thought of a solution.

He muttered, "Looks like I'll have to keep a low profile for now. These people are all out to target this Grandmaster."

"They must be jealous of this Grandmaster's talent!"

"I have to find a chance to prove myself. I refuse to believe Liang Hao can really absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Ring."

"When he fails, let's see what excuse he can come up with!"

"Then I'll come back out, and I'll still be the Grandmaster of theory!"

"Hmph! Liang Hao, you brat, this Grandmaster will be waiting for your arrogance to bring you to ruin!!"

This was the only solution he had left. Call it the Ah Q spirit or a temporary retreat—it was all the same.

He stared fixedly at the light screen, waiting for Liang Hao to give himself away.

Inside Spirit Hall.

The Pope's bedchamber.

After hearing Liang Hao's words, Yu Xiaogang was affected the most.

Next was Bibi Dong, whose emotions were the most complicated.

She was different from the Bibi Dong in the instance. The Bibi Dong in the instance was the person Liang Hao had to persuade, someone who "could not see the mountain because she was standing in it."

So even though the Bibi Dong in the instance knew Liang Hao was right, it was difficult for her to change her attitude quickly.

But here, the Bibi Dong in this real Douluo was an observer, a bystander.

Of course, she too had once viewed Yu Xiaogang through unimaginably rose-colored glasses.

That was how a top-tier powerhouse like her had been able to keep trusting trash like Yu Xiaogang: she would automatically gloss over his flaws.

On top of that, she was the Pope. Who would dare defy her? Who would dare refuse her?

If she wanted to put Yu Xiaogang on a pedestal, countless people would naturally support her. As a result, she had willingly remained trapped behind those rose-colored glasses, day after day indulging in fantasies of how amazing Yu Xiaogang was.

But today was different. Today, Liang Hao had come specifically to shatter those rose-colored glasses.

This was probably the first time in all the years since Bibi Dong had become powerful that someone had pointed out Yu Xiaogang's flaws so bluntly to her face, even calling out the rose-colored glasses through which she viewed him.

Such a direct approach, like a spear thrust straight in, was precisely what worked best on Bibi Dong.

And because this Bibi Dong was a bystander, after listening, she was better able to judge objectively that Liang Hao was right.

So by now, this Bibi Dong's composure had genuinely begun to crack.

Once that thin layer of window paper had been pierced, all she had to do was use even a pig's brain to think for a moment, and she knew Liang Hao was absolutely right.

The Yu Xiaogang in her heart simply did not exist.

All that existed in reality was the piece of trash called Gangzi...
