An invitation to the academy, and a little ambition

After seeing the truth revealed by the Wheel of Time, Xiao Wu already believed it.

Now she just needed to verify it.

Once she had, she would have to consider how to protect herself and her loved ones.

Tang San and his father wanted to scheme against her, and she absolutely could not let them succeed.

As for Chu Xuan, she still needed to learn more about him if she had the chance.

A person who knew her identity and could also see the future might be able to provide her with tremendous help.

After leaving Nuoding Academy, Chu Xuan returned to the Spirit Hall Branch.

He had basically finished what he had set out to do.

Now it was time to look at the system rewards!

The rewards for this choice were pretty good.

The Complete Explanation of Hidden Weapon contained knowledge of every Hidden Weapon.

His Soul Power had risen to level forty-eight!

And the Resurrection Card was a good thing.

As long as he had something the target had used, he could bring that person back to life.

"This thing... I'll have to put it to good use."

Chu Xuan considered his options.

The Resurrection Card could be used on any living being.

Not just mortals-even gods could be resurrected with it.

Sure enough, the system's authority was supreme; those so-called gods counted for nothing before it.

It could even change the rules of the world.

There did not seem to be anyone he needed to use it on at the moment, so he would wait and see.

"Lord God Child, His Holiness the Pope is going to Nuoding Academy tomorrow. Would you like to come along?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo stood outside his door.

"Oh? Then I'll come along and have a look tomorrow."

Chu Xuan waved a hand. Bibi Dong had probably sent Chrysanthemum Douluo to ask what he thought.

That was fine; he could go and see what Bibi Dong's attitude was.

He trusted she would not disappoint him.

Given Bibi Dong's personality, Yu Xiaogang was in for a world of suffering.

A woman who dared to love and dared to hate would never let Yu Xiaogang off easily.

She had said before that she would torment him mercilessly, not kill him all at once.

Instead, she wanted him to feel despair.

For example, going after the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was also one of Bibi Dong's plans.

According to her, she also intended to take revenge on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The Spirit Hall was already targeting its businesses and would certainly inflict heavy losses on the clan.

As for the details, he would find out when he went to watch the grand show tomorrow.

In another room, Bibi Dong was looking at the file in her hands.

Finding Yu Xiaogang had indeed been difficult.

If the Spirit Hall had not had so many people at its disposal, she really would not have known that he was hiding in Nuoding City.

It was such a small city that hardly anyone usually paid it any attention.

"Hiding here for decades. Very good indeed."

A chilling curve appeared at the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth.

The file described Yu Xiaogang's experiences in Nuoding City.

He looked no different from a lonely old man.

If she had not known the truth, she would certainly have thought he had been wounded by love.

But after learning the truth, she understood just how shameless he was.

To maintain his carefully crafted image, he had lain low for years.

"Tomorrow, I'll show you what regret means!"

Bibi Dong put the file away and waited for tomorrow, when she would head to Nuoding Academy.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was in the academy dormitory, his heart in a panic.

Bibi Dong had been in Nuoding City for a day and apparently had yet to make a move.

Could it be that she had not come for him?

She was very likely on an inspection tour!

That made sense. He had been hiding for so many years, and no one had been able to find him.

How could Bibi Dong possibly know?

It was all just a coincidence.

"Little San, continue cultivating tomorrow. You mustn't slack off."

Seeing Tang San in the dormitory, Yu Xiaogang was very satisfied.

After all these years, he finally had a disciple who could make his name famous.

With Tang San's talent, becoming a Titled Douluo in the future would be no problem.

But he had no real experience cultivating Twin Martial Souls.

The person with experience in the whole of Douluo Continent was Bibi Dong.

Yet Bibi Dong already knew the truth about what had happened back then. Would she still choose to tell him?

Certainly not!

She might even deal with him.

He simply could not understand it. He had acted so secretly back then that no one should possibly have known.

How exactly had Bibi Dong—or rather, the Spirit Hall-learned the truth?

Early the next morning, Chrysanthemum Douluo was already outside the room urging him to hurry.

Chu Xuan yawned, washed up, ate a little breakfast, and then boarded a carriage for Nuoding Academy.

Bibi Dong was in the same carriage as him, sitting bolt upright.

"Don't be so nervous. It's not like I eat people."

Chu Xuan waved a hand. Was he really that frightening?

You're the Pope, however you look at it. Can't you act the part?

The way she was acting now made him look like some utterly heinous devil.

Bibi Dong's expression did not change at all.

Who would dare act presumptuously before Chu Xuan, who was favored by the gods?

At least, she did not have the nerve.

Although she was a Titled Douluo and the Rakshasa God's inheritor, the Rakshasa God was only a First-Level God and still could not measure up to a God King.

If she offended Chu Xuan, nothing good would come of it for her.

Chu Xuan was very likely the God of Creation reincarnated. She could only befriend him, not make an enemy of him.

"God Child, what do you think about the Spirit Hall's future development?"

Bibi Dong felt that the atmosphere was somewhat stifling, so she could only look for a topic to discuss.

If the silence went on any longer, she would feel uncomfortable all over.

At the mention of the Spirit Hall, Chu Xuan naturally recalled its decline in the original story.

Part of it was because it had offended the protagonist's group, and part of it was because Bibi Dong had courted death.

Another reason was that, later on, the Spirit Hall had acted outrageously, with no regard for whether others lived or died.

Especially after the Spirit Hall Empire was established, Bibi Dong had pursued a policy of might, throwing away an excellent position.

What was most important to the Spirit Hall?

The hearts of the people!

The Spirit Hall had reached its current scale not merely because its experts were as numerous as clouds.

It was also because of its policies benefiting the people.

Its help for commoner Soul Masters had lifted its standing like a boat rising with the tide, ultimately bringing it to its present position.

"As for the Spirit Hall's future development, what do you think of ruling the entire Douluo Continent?"

Chu Xuan spoke with a smile.

Bibi Dong's heart tightened. "God Child, you must be joking. The goal of ruling Douluo Continent is too..."

"No, that goal is perfectly normal."

"You're the one in power. You ought to have a little ambition."

"The Spirit Hall is strong enough. Why shouldn't it rule the whole world?"

Chu Xuan's answer took Bibi Dong by surprise.

She had thought he was testing her, but to her surprise, Chu Xuan truly had such an ambition.

Ruling the whole world sounded crazy, but it also suited her ambition.

After learning the truth, she had indeed begun to entertain such a thought.

No longer trapped by love, she only wanted to be a strong woman.

"The hearts of the people are important. Conquering the world isn't hard; holding on to it is."

"So you need to win the people's hearts, especially the support of commoner Soul Masters."

"The more support you give them, the more they'll give you in return. Do you understand?"

Bibi Dong looked thoughtful.

She more or less understood.

Supporting commoner Soul Masters was a path the Spirit Hall had always followed.

Now it was merely a matter of putting in a little more effort, so there was no real problem.

"I understand. I'll develop the Spirit Hall to its fullest potential and make it the ruler of Douluo Continent."

Chu Xuan was thoroughly satisfied.

Only when the Spirit Hall was strong could he act with even less restraint and lie flat as he pleased.
