Luo Ling was overjoyed.

He finally understood why Bibi Dong had called Yu Xiaogang trash just now.

That would have been impossible before.

In the original story, Bibi Dong had always regarded Yu Xiaogang as a genius of Martial Soul theory. She could never have said such a thing.

It seemed this document had let Bibi Dong see Yu Xiaogang for who he really was? My Psychological Suggestion must have played a part too...

Luo Ling secretly chuckled.

Yet even as he laughed inwardly, he put on an indignant expression.

"Teacher! This Yu Xiaogang is absolutely detestable! Not only did he abandon you, he even abandoned his own wife right at their wedding!"

"Even if they were Cousins, running away without a care like that was far too irresponsible!"

"What would others think of Elder Sister Liu Erlong? He could have called off the engagement, yet he just ran away, leaving everything unclear!"

Luo Ling's furious voice echoed through the hall.

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked down at the little boy in surprise, while Bibi Dong clenched her teeth.

The image of Yu Xiaogang abandoning Liu Erlong was just like how he had once abandoned her, making Bibi Dong even angrier.

"Teacher! Do you really plan to let someone like him go?" Luo Ling pressed on while the iron was hot. He wanted Bibi Dong to completely turn against Yu Xiaogang.

Until death tore them apart!

Bibi Dong opened her mouth and clenched her pearly teeth. For a moment, she truly wanted Yu Xiaogang torn to pieces, but Yu Xiaogang was, after all, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Although Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the clan, Yu Yuanzhen was his father and would not stand by while Yu Xiaogang was killed.

The Grand High Priest would not agree to Spirit Hall going to war with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at this time either.

The Three Upper Sects were bound together by common interests. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might even intervene.

"Xiao Ling, Yu Xiaogang is still a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..." Bibi Dong answered helplessly.

"Teacher, are you worried that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will protect Yu Xiaogang?" Luo Ling understood what Bibi Dong meant, but he did not give up.

A cold red light flickered in his eyes as he slowly said, "Then all we need to do is make the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have no choice but to abandon Yu Xiaogang."

"Xiao Ling, that's easy to say, but Yu Xiaogang is Yu Yuanzhen's son. Yu Yuanzhen is the Clan Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Bibi Dong shook her head.

"So what?" Luo Ling said dismissively. "Yu Xiaogang may be the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Clan Leader, but what if he becomes an Evil Soul Master everyone wants dead?"

Bibi Dong froze, and even Chrysanthemum Douluo beside her stared at Luo Ling in astonishment.

"There were already rumors in Notting City that Yu Xiaogang cultivated an Evil Skill. What if those rumors were proven in front of the public?"

"Who would dare risk public outrage to shelter an Evil Soul Master?" Luo Ling continued.

"By then, Yu Xiaogang will be utterly ruined. Isn't his reputation what he values most? That would be far crueler than killing him."

"Xiao Ling, you..." Bibi Dong looked at Luo Ling, unable to believe a seven-year-old child could say something like that.

Luo Ling immediately put on an innocent look and said, "Who told him to hurt Teacher? He has to be punished!"

"Teacher, leave this matter to me. I definitely won't let Yu Xiaogang off easy!"

Bibi Dong was moved by Luo Ling. Her gaze trembled slightly as she once again felt that taking Luo Ling as her disciple had been the best decision she had ever made.

"Mm, didn't Yu Xiaogang take in a disciple with Innate Full Soul Power back in Notting City? He must be planning to make a name for himself at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Competition and solidify his title as a theory Grandmaster."

"We only need to make Grandmaster and that disciple of his be publicly recognized as Evil Soul Masters during the competition!" Luo Ling continued, carefully watching Bibi Dong's expression.

"Xiao Ling! You don't need to concern yourself with Yu Xiaogang's affairs. Don't do anything dangerous!" Bibi Dong had calmed down, but she was worried after hearing Luo Ling's plan.

"Don't worry, Teacher. Leave everything to me." Luo Ling smiled faintly.

Bibi Dong's attitude was already obvious. Yu Xiaogang had clearly been abandoned.

Thinking of the Blood Devil Ritual in his Soul Tool, Luo Ling was already growing impatient.

After returning to his residence, Luo Ling was in an excellent mood.

Making Bibi Dong change her attitude toward Yu Xiaogang was probably the thing that had made him happiest recently.

He had hesitated before.

If he went after Yu Xiaogang during the Soul Master Competition, would Bibi Dong slap him to death?

But now, he no longer needed to worry at all.

Now, he had an imperial decree to cripple Yu Xiaogang.

Sitting on the bed in his room with a smile on his lips, he took out the Blood Devil Ritual again.

Since he planned to use this forbidden book to utterly ruin Yu Xiaogang, he needed to study it himself first.

And so, time slowly passed.

In the blink of an eye, another five months went by.

Over those five months, Luo Ling clearly felt that Bibi Dong had become more attentive toward him.

Luo Ling had also thoroughly made himself at home in Spirit Hall.

The affinity effect of the Soul of Desire was incredibly overpowered. Even the Titled Douluo who had been wary of Luo Ling because of the Soul Body Thread lowered their guard and got along well with him.

Inside a palace in Spirit Hall.

Luo Ling slowly opened his eyes. His Soul Power had finally reached level 20. Reaching level 20 at eight years old was truly astonishing.

He had been in Spirit Hall for nearly a year, and his Soul Power had increased by seven levels in that year.

This was thanks to Spirit Hall's secrets and its Mimicry environment.

A satisfied expression appeared on his face as Luo Ling got down from the bed and stood up.

Three books sat by his bedside.

One was the Blood Devil Ritual.

The other two were books on poison and the soul, respectively.

Luo Ling had discovered these two books three months ago.

It had to be said that Spirit Hall's Library was a treasure trove.

The book on poison actually contained a method for solving the problem of toxin accumulation within the body caused by poison-type Martial Souls.

Luo Ling had already planned to seize the Immortal Herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well next. Now that he had this detoxification method, he could easily get Dugu Bo under his thumb.

As for the book on the soul, it recorded the secrets of the Soul Body Thread.

The book referred to the Soul Body Thread as Soul Silk. Luo Ling had not thought much of it when he first saw it, but as he read further, he realized he had found a treasure.

Luo Ling could control another person's soul by eroding their Soul Body Thread.

This relied on the corrosive power of the Soul of Desire.

But the power of the Soul Body Thread went far beyond that.

The book recorded that almost no one could see Soul Body Threads, much less control them.

Soul Body Threads represented the origin of a person's soul.

Through a Soul Body Thread, one could learn a person's thoughts.

This reminded Luo Ling of his battle against the thousand-year Crimson Flame Lion in the Soul Hunting Forest.

He had used the Soul Body Thread to judge the Crimson Flame Lion's attack patterns.

That was already terrifying, but it still was not the full extent of the Soul Body Thread's power.

Through the Soul Body Thread, one could also communicate with another person's soul on a deeper level, achieving an effect similar to Soul Search.

Luo Ling had already tested it on low-aged Soft Bone Rabbits.

He had seen the rabbits' memories. Although they were only scenes of eating grass and being fed, this still proved that the Soul Body Thread truly possessed the ability to view a target's memories.

Luo Ling looked at the books by his bedside. The Soul Body Thread's new ability gave him some new ideas.
