"To have a public dialogue with me?"

You Chen heard this rumor coming from Spirit City, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Even with You Chen's understanding of Bibi Dong's past, it's still difficult to comprehend Bibi Dong's thought process.

Is it possible to confront him publicly, restore Yu Xiaogang's reputation, or make that guy Yu Xiaogang change his mind?

You Chen thought about the time Bibi Dong had agreed upon, and his mind quickly began to formulate a plan.

As for whether to go or not?

"This is absolutely the best opportunity to add fuel to the fire of this incident, to completely stir it up, and even to make it the laughing stock of the entire continent!"

Even if it meant exposing his connection with the original body, You Chen would only hesitate slightly!

The first questline is mostly complete. If you can get the first kill on Bibi Dong, then going into a period of quiet development is a good option.

Of course... the best-case scenario is that Bibi Dong, that brain-dead woman, really believes that the Masked Killer and Yu Xiaogang have a close relationship, and in the end, she lets the Masked Killer leave safely.

That's... truly hilarious!

"Hahaha!"

Just imagining the scene made You Chen burst out laughing.

His eyes darted around, and he thought even deeper: 'If I could achieve this, and then tell Bibi Dong in the future that I am the Masked Killer, what would her reaction be?'

However, You Chen possessed a strong will and spirit.

After a moment of daydreaming, his thoughts returned to the present.

After reviewing the remaining mission rewards that he hadn't yet processed, You Chen decided to focus on his cultivation for a few days before the appointed day arrived.

Needless to say, cultivation techniques and martial arts skills require a lot of time to refine in order to significantly improve one's strength.

For the past year or so, almost two years, You Chen has focused most of his energy on "Soul Power Borrowing Method," and hasn't even delved deeply into "The Wind Cloud Movement," let alone anything else.

Basically, you get a Flash of Inspiration, go home immediately, study it for a while, accumulate some inspiration, and then use the Flash of Inspiration of Flash of Inspiration to maximize its benefits and advance your research.

So far, he hasn't had a single Flash of Inspiration left. He feels that at most five more Flash of Inspiration will allow him to achieve what he expected of "Soul Power Borrowing Method" nearly two years ago.

This is why You Chen was so enthusiastic about Bibi Dong's mission.

Even though Flash of Inspiration isn't as rare as Muscle and Marrow Cleansing or Glimpse of Origin, it's still a rare find that you can only get one of each after several missions.

To get five more Flash of Inspiration, you need to collect at least twenty to thirty more tasks.

Currently, the most abundant items remaining in his system space are a pile of pills, followed by Soul Ring, Soul Bone, and time limit cards.

The Muscle and Marrow Cleansing is always used immediately upon obtaining it from You Chen.

The most profound improvement You Chen gained was that the difficulty of cultivating the "Godly Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength" was greatly reduced. Otherwise, he wouldn't have only improved his strength by one level, and not even the odd-numbered level of a major level, yet he was able to cultivate more than half of the entry-level realm within half a year.

Another thing is that his Soul Power cultivation speed has increased. He feels that the speed at which he refines and tempers his Soul Power, that is, the speed excluding the influence of his current strength level, is much faster than when he was at his peak at the age of twenty-five.

It's as if the container itself has expanded as a whole.

Not only physical body and Soul Power, but also the upper limit of mental power that can be borne has been significantly improved.

Now, he can break through to the Spirit Domain Realm anytime, anywhere with a single thought, yet he doesn't feel the same pressure he had when his spiritual power reached the Spirit Abyss Realm at the Soul Ancestor Realm.

However, he did not intend to take that final step now, but instead planned to use the opportunity of breaking through to Soul Sage to condense his first Mental Soul Core!

The Muscle and Marrow Cleansing enhanced his potential, aptitude, and ceiling in various aspects. In addition, the recovery speed of his physical body, Soul Power, and mental power also improved. These changes may not seem to increase his strength much, but they significantly raised his overall ability, which means raising his minimum standard.

The Flash of Inspiration and the Muscle and Marrow Cleansing have already been used.

Kung Fu techniques and martial arts skills are too time-consuming.

He doesn't plan to use his Soul Ring Soul Bone, or Age Limit Cards right now.

The remaining thing that could enhance his strength in the short term was naturally "Glimpse of Origin".

In order to maximize the effect of "Glimpse of Origin" each time, You Chen only chooses to use it again after his understanding of the Martial Soul Origin has improved to a certain extent.

Essentially, it's the same pattern as his "Flash of Inspiration," but he spent more time Soul Power Borrowing Method during this period, and correspondingly less time controlling the power of his Martial Soul Origin.

This usage speed is naturally not as fast as the other two special rewards, so he currently has three uses left in his storage.

Spirit Realm.

As for the next level of control over the power of this Martial Soul Origin, You Chen had already vaguely touched upon it while consciously approaching it.

"The so-called Spirit Realm, in essence, is a state of excessive spiritual eruption. It can stimulate a deep resonance between the soul and the Martial Soul, unleashing the Martial Soul's potential and briefly displaying strength far exceeding that of a normal state. However, because the soul is excessively stimulated, the Martial Soul is also affected, resulting in a considerable period of weakness afterward. Although I haven't yet fully understood the nature of this excessive spiritual eruption, just like studying theory and practical application, there's no need to rush into analysis; learning how to use it is the key."

You Chen has already come to this understanding.

He was confident that if he could settle down for another month or two and then use the Glimpse of Origin again, he would have a high probability of truly breaking through to this realm and mastering the power that would allow a mid-level Martial Soul Master to kill a top-level Martial Soul Master!

Even with insufficient estimation and a slightly lower accumulation, using it twice in a row will definitely achieve the desired result.

But now, to have an extra layer of insurance, You Chen doesn't plan to wait any longer.

Without much hesitation, You Chen Xin touched the "Glimpse of Origin" in the system space with his mind and began to enhance the power of his Martial Soul Origin.

The central square of Spirit City is always bustling with people, but today the population density here is still somewhat beyond imagination.

"Is that His Holiness the Pope?"

"Tsk tsk, she's certainly beautiful and aloof, but what's she like in private... hehe, who knows?"

"Hey, are you out of your mind?! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

The people in the crowd gazed at the platform that had been erected in the center of the square. On the platform, which was temporarily set up like an exhibition stand, there were two seats, one on the left and one on the right.

On the left, Bibi Dong, dressed in Pope attire, sat quietly, waiting with an air of nobility and aloofness.

Some of the harsh comments from the audience touched a nerve with Bibi Dong, but she wore a mask of rationality and forcibly suppressed her murderous intent, which was almost going crazy.

Yes, what's a few rumors compared to enduring them for the sake of her beloved Yu Xiaogang?

The platform was divided into several levels. Bibi Dong sat quietly at the top, while several Red Robe Bishop silently maintained order on the next level. Bibi Dong's assistant, Hugh Pu, was on the next level down. He looked up at Bibi Dong's quiet appearance, but he couldn't hide his unease. However, things had come to this point, and as a mere assistant, he could do nothing to change anything.

"So, will Yu Xiaogang come?"

"What Yu Xiaogang? I've already inquired about him. Yu Xiaogang is just a useless piece of trash in his forties who can't even break through to the Soul Elder! The Masked Killer is just Masked Killer; he probably only has some connection with that Yu Xiaogang, right?"

The public eagerly awaited the appearance of the Masked Killer, while Bibi Dong herself grew increasingly impatient.

Her slender, white fingers dug forcefully into her palm, revealing clear blue veins of blood on the smooth back of her hand.

"Masked Killer, I don't know who you are, but if I've openly invited you like this, and you still refuse to appreciate it, then even if you have some connection with Yu Xiaogang, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Just as Bibi Dong was thinking this, she suddenly looked up at the distant sky.

A tiny black dot is approaching at high speed.

Despite having no wings and no flashing Soul Ring, the person effortlessly rode the gentle breeze, drifting in like an immortal.

Many people had long heard of the Masked Killer, but most of them were seeing him in person for the first time. They were all stunned by his ethereal appearance.

You Chen landed lightly on the top of the platform, and in the silence, he spoke his first words to Bibi Dong: "This is truly a grand welcoming ceremony."

Bibi Dong gave him a deep look and said, "As for you, you really have a lot of guts. Knowing that this is a den of dragons and tigers, you still dare to come here to attend the meeting. Masked Killer, I admit that you are worthy of my attention."

You Chen said calmly, "His Holiness the Pope personally welcomed me. If I were to hide myself, I would be ungrateful."

Just as his aide Hugh Pu, said, from the moment Bibi Dong chose to have a public dialogue with the Masked Killer, You Chen had no loss whatsoever.

Faced with even greater benefits, You Chen could not resist the temptation. So even though the risks of this meeting were different from the previous hit-and-run guerrilla tactics, he still came to this place in person.

As he spoke, You Chen quietly reached out and touched his mask, about to take it off.

"Wait!"

Bibi Dong suddenly raised her hand and spoke up to stop her, "You can keep wearing your mask."

You Chen chuckled, "What? Now that you've become Pope, you've suddenly become ashamed and don't dare to face your old flame?"

Such teasing words immediately darkened Bibi Dong's face, and the audience below erupted in uproar.

"Quiet!"

A Red Robe Bishop suddenly unleashed his Soul Power, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. "During the public meeting, anyone who dares to speak out will be immediately detained! Don't say you weren't warned!"

Even without considering specific individuals, the Red Robe Bishop's authority remains, and no one wants to face imprisonment. Besides, with such a grand spectacle unfolding, how can one leave before it's over?

People immediately fell silent.

Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't stop her actions because of the voices below. With a dark face, she said to You Chen, "Let's stop this unnecessary pretense! You're not him at all! Yu Xiaogang 'Innate Soul Power is less than level 1, so there's no way he could have the strength of a Soul Douluo! You just have the skill or ability to change your face! Masked Killer! That mask is your real face!"

Many viewers, comparing the information they had gathered over this period, also showed expressions of "I knew it."

Therefore, the veracity of the Masked Killer's previous statements has become somewhat questionable.

Many knowledgeable people nodded in agreement, thinking that the Pope was indeed putting on such a show to clear his name and restore his reputation!

In response to Bibi Dong's sarcasm, You Chen simply shrugged and smiled, "You can interpret it that way."

Then he slowly lowered his hand.

These initial verbal exchanges, and his attempt to remove his mask, were merely attempts to test Bibi Dong's attitude.

And now, he can basically confirm it...

'That idiot Bibi Dong, judging from her expression, she thinks I'm her mouthpiece for Yu Xiaogang? What kind of thought process does this woman have?'

"Let's stop with the unnecessary pretense," Bibi Dong was urging him to get to the point.

You Chen initially thought that Bibi Dong was there to confront the Masked Killer, but now it seems that's not the case at all!

Perhaps, in Bibi Dong's eyes, there is a tacit understanding between them, a tacit understanding that they are both here to untie the "knot" of the past few days!

Since such a tacit understanding exists, there is naturally no need to drag things out or conduct unnecessary tests.

Following this line of thought, it's easy to conclude that in Bibi Dong's eyes, the Masked Killer and Yu Xiaogang were completely on the same side.

Bibi Dong was looking at the Masked Killer, but she was actually looking at Yu Xiaogang! She wasn't confronting the Masked Killer, but confronting Yu Xiaogang remotely!

This is a fundamental difference.

Beneath the mask, You Chen's lips curled slightly, but his voice carried a hint of anger. "Then, let's get straight to the point. Pope, no... Bibi Dong, things have come to this, what else do you, you disgusting bitch, have to say?"

The audience was stunned by these direct and blunt words, some staring wide-eyed and others gaping in disbelief.

Because of the Red Robe Bishop's warning, no one made a loud noise, but the gasps of surprise were all in unison, making the scene seem somewhat comical.

No, how dare you?!

Many people think this way.

Just when everyone thought Bibi Dong would kill You Chen with a single blow of her staff, Bibi Dong made no move, simply saying calmly, "Bitch? Is that how he sees me? Although we've had our disagreements, things aren't as you imagine... as shameless as you think!"

Bibi Dong finished speaking, her face turned slightly red, not from embarrassment, but from anger.

Qi Yu Xiaogang imagined herself to be such a shameless figure!

Upon hearing this dialogue, the audience members all wore expressions of confusion, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I?"

Did Bibi Dong come to restore her reputation?

No, how could that be! How could this twisted, love-crazed woman do such a thing!?

Her idea is something the audience below probably couldn't even come up with no matter how hard they tried.

'I can't let Yu Xiaogang stay stuck in this quagmire any longer. He... deserves a brighter future.'

Bibi Dong thought to herself silently.

Yes, her real purpose was to resolve Yu Xiaogang's hatred towards her!

From Bibi Dong's perspective, Yu Xiaogang contacting a top-tier Soul Douluo assassin was simply to cause her trouble. Coupled with the resentful words You Chen uttered while impersonating Yu Xiaogang, she quickly completed the logical loop...

' Yu Xiaogang must have been held back by his hatred for me, that's why he hasn't acted yet! Damn it, why didn't I realize this sooner!?'

Those who haven't read the original novel might find it hard to understand or imagine that Bibi Dong would have such bizarre ideas, but...

Before her death, Bibi Dong in the original timeline told Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong this about her feelings of inferiority in front of Yu Xiaogang, believing that she was completely unworthy of Yu Xiaogang...

The Pope the Spirit Hall, the most talented woman in the world besides Qian Renxue who received God-Bestowed Martial Soul, believes she is unworthy of a useless person with trashy abilities and poor character...

Even considering that Bibi Dong was raped and had a child, Yu Xiaogang is still trash who isn't even worthy of licking Bibi Dong's toes.

But Bibi Dong genuinely believed that she was a quagmire, while Yu Xiaogang was a perfect being.

To be precise... her ideal of a perfect, flawless white moonlight.

She didn't even dare to ask Yu Xiaogang for forgiveness for playing the bad cop when the teacher ordered her to. Even though she was also a victim in that breakup incident.

She only dared to do what she could for Yu Xiaogang in secret. Well, for example, killing Yu Xiaogang's entire family, under the guise of: she would not let go of anyone who dared to cause him pain or insult him.

It should be noted that during that period, Yu Xiaogang had already been hurling insults at Bibi Dong, saying that he would never let Bibi Dong off the hook.

Although Bibi Dong put on a cold face on the surface, she never thought of stopping working for Yu Xiaogang.

Putting aside the fact that some of her ideas were distorted to an unacceptable degree, her feelings for Yu Xiaogang had indeed never changed from beginning to end.

Bibi Dong's true nature... is just that of a love-obsessed young woman.

Of course, it's a bit disgusting that such a love-obsessed psychopath would think he's not good enough for his white moonlight and wouldn't even dare to think about forcing her to be his male concubine after he conquers the world. Instead, he wants the whole world to be buried with the love he's Destruction God King.

Of course, Destruction God King the world might be a bit of a boast, but Destruction God King the Spirit Hall that nurtured him is a real possibility.

And the most crucial thing is... damn it, it dragged You Chen, who was caught in the crossfire!

"So, is it a lie that you have a child?!"

You Chen questioned him sharply.

Bibi Dong's face turned deathly pale.

Taking advantage of the moment when Bibi Dong was unable to refute him, You Chen finally had the opportunity to begin his real attack.

He began his performance with a tearful expression, as if he had completely immersed himself in Yu Xiaogang's state of mind.

"It's all just a vulgar joke!"

Back then, we were so romantic, strolling under the moonlit flowers! I was a useless piece of trash who could never break through to level 30, while you were the high and mighty Saintess of the Spirit Hall!

We were able to ignore the real-world gaps and talk about everything like soulmates! It was a time as beautiful as a dream!

Yes! A dream! A nightmare!

Hearing these heartfelt words, even though she knew You Chen was only acting, Bibi Dong couldn't help but be moved by them, standing there stunned: 'Such feelings, such thoughts, who but Yu Xiaogang himself could understand them so deeply!?'

How could it be anyone else?!

"Bibi Dong!"

At that very moment, You Chen abruptly removed his mask, revealing Yu Xiaogang's face, which had been disguised beforehand. It was a face twisted and contorted with despair over love, and from that gaping mouth came a hoarse and crazed voice. "Let me tell you! Just like you lied to me! I lied to you too! Hahaha!"

Looking at Yu Xiaogang's face and hearing You Chen's heart-wrenching voice, Bibi Dong ultimately couldn't escape from You Chen's acting and became immersed in it. Seeing Yu Xiaogang's crazed expression, her heart ached, and her face turned pale. "You lied to me? What did you say?... Yu Xiaogang?"

"You really think I like you that much?! No, that's all bullshit! I just found out your identity and wanted to use your name to access the Spirit Hall's secret library! I thought it would take a long time, and even... I thought such a trick would never succeed!"

Even I never imagined you would be such a stupid, brainless bitch! I only used a few simple tricks to fool an ignorant girl, and you fell for it so easily!?

The high and mighty Saintess of the Spirit Hall, just because I acted very smart and powerful and recited some theories from other people's works, you fucking fell in love with me?!

I think even if I had wanted to sleep with you back then, you probably would have agreed without even thinking! I never imagined that the Saintess of the Spirit Hall would be such a brainless idiot!

If I'd known you were such a fool, I wouldn't have thought so much! Why bother with all this emotional maneuvering? I could have just tricked you into stealing the books for me! If I'd known it would be like this, if it really were like this..."

You Chen seemed overwhelmed with emotion, unable to control his tears. "I could never have truly fallen for a bitch like you!"

Originally, Bibi Dong listened to You Chen's words, which were gradually deviating from the image of the white moonlight in her mind, her emotions became more and more intense, and her killing intent gradually erupted.

But to everyone's surprise, You Chen suddenly changed the subject, turning all the previous twists and schemes into the prelude to this reversal...

Bibi Dong felt a heartache even greater than that of having something beautiful torn apart from the beginning!

What was originally a falsehood was woven into a genuine product, but before this authenticity could be truly realized, it was torn to shreds in an instant!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Bibi Dong's Rakshasa Divine Power went completely berserk!
