Ugly Freak

"Get out!"

Master Ratio had never been a nice man.

His temperament had always been strange, self-centered, harsh, and even calculating.

When it came to mediocre people, he usually withdrew and watched from the sidelines, allowing them to develop freely.

He disliked mediocre people's blind attitudes toward geniuses, but what he found even more intolerable was anyone laying siege to truth and preventing it from taking root!

And Bibi Dong's actions now were undoubtedly courting death within his forbidden zone!

Neither her status as his cheap mother-in-law nor her identity as the Pope could make Master Ratio compromise!

Hearing Master Ratio's merciless rebuke, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena both froze. In perfect unspoken coordination, they rubbed their ears, doubting their own hearing.

Hu Liena sensed danger and instinctively looked at Bibi Dong.

A flush rapidly crept over Bibi Dong's exquisitely beautiful yet cold face.

It was not shyness. She was simply furious!

The dignified Pope had actually been told to get out by a useless live-in son-in-law?!

Ever since she had grown up, especially after becoming Pope, this was the first time anyone had told her to get out!

"You insolent bastard! Do you know who you're speaking to?!" Bibi Dong abruptly rose to her feet, pointing at Master Ratio as the aura of a Titled Douluo erupted from her body.

She did not conceal her malice at all. Her pressure bore down on Master Ratio from every direction.

She had to make this useless live-in son-in-law understand the price of offending her!

Master Ratio remained calm, unlike the agitated Bibi Dong.

The pressure that surged toward him like relentless tides vanished eerily once it came within ten centimeters of him.

In truth, before Master Ratio had even awakened his martial soul, he had spent only three months developing strength on the level of a Titled Douluo.

Aside from those formulas, no one knew what else he had developed.

He was not a soul master, yet he was far stronger than one!

With a mortal body, he stood shoulder to shoulder with gods... so what did Bibi Dong before him amount to?

Master Ratio said calmly, "Bibi Dong, on this matter alone, if you obstruct the spread of truth, I will not let you off."

Unlike Bibi Dong's oppressive aura, he used no threatening tone.

His voice was calm, and his face... naturally, no emotion could be seen through the stone-carved mask.

Yet that bland sentence was like tossing a small stone into an abyss. Precisely because nothing could be heard or seen, the danger lurking beneath became all the more unsettling.

"..." Hu Liena held her breath. Though there was clearly no clash of auras, she felt so stifled that she could barely breathe.

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and stared fixedly at Master Ratio.

All this time, everyone had believed that Spirit Hall's live-in son-in-law was useless, yet he had hidden his strength.

The pressure of a Titled Douluo could not stir even the slightest ripple before him.

That could only prove one thing: his strength far surpassed hers!

It was simply unbelievable.

Right under everyone's noses, Master Ratio had grown to his current level of strength, yet not a single person had noticed?

Bibi Dong's chest rose and fell. She could not see Master Ratio's eyes and had no way of knowing how resolute he was.

"Good! Very good! As expected of the Angel Clan's live-in son-in-law!"

"Master Ratio, is this how you speak to me? What kind of attitude is that?!"

Bibi Dong abruptly changed her tack and began making an issue of his attitude again.

It was a woman's usual trick.

Master Ratio continued, "Utterly foolish. I do not wish to speak with you any longer."

"Also, I will not only spread this. I will present more theoretical puzzles and let more people take part in exploring the light of truth! Next is the Three Elements Fusion Skill."

"Perhaps you have all become too reliant on soul power. Now, it is time to change. This is my goodwill toward your entire Douluo Continent."

"Now, please leave!"

Master Ratio turned his head. Suddenly, he was holding a piece of "chalk" in his hand.

It was solidified energy compressed to an extreme degree.

Bibi Dong trembled with fury. She could not sense even a trace of respect for a mother-in-law from Master Ratio.

On the contrary, she had a feeling that if she said even one more word, that piece of chalk would definitely be stuffed into her mouth, leaving her unable to speak again.

With a cold snort, Bibi Dong pulled Hu Liena out of the room.

Bibi Dong strode swiftly down the corridor in a rage, her long legs moving so quickly that she left Hu Liena behind. Hu Liena could only jog after her, looking quite bedraggled.

Bibi Dong's face was dark as she continued replaying Master Ratio's threat in her mind.

There had been no respect whatsoever. Even the way he looked at her gave her the absurd feeling that she was an idiot.

"Damn bastard!"

"I must stop you from spreading that bullshit theory! There can only be one Master!"

"Threaten me? Fine. Then I'll mobilize every Titled Douluo and see whether they can stop you!"

"..."

Bibi Dong secretly hardened her resolve. She would never allow Master Ratio's theories to spread.

Not only for Spirit Hall, but also for Yu Xiaogang.

At the central plaza, wave after wave of cheers erupted.

"He predicted it right again!"

"That's fucking incredible, isn't it?! He could even predict Innate Soul Power! I'm convinced! Completely convinced! That Master Ratio is practically divine!"

"The Soul Master Realm is about to change completely! Everyone will remember Master Ratio's name!"

"..."

Nearly everyone was in a frenzy.

They had witnessed the birth of a legend with their own eyes.

Though they did not understand the meaning behind the formulas, they could use them and verify them. That was a tremendous blessing for the entire Soul Master Realm!

A faint flush even appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face as he said to Sword Douluo beside him, "Uncle Sword, we must befriend Master Ratio!"

"Master Ratio should not be confined to Spirit Hall. His stage should be the entire Soul Master Realm, the entire long river of soul master history!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice even trembled slightly.

Because the appearance of Master Ratio's formulas was like suddenly unveiling a high-tech weapon in an age of cold weapons!

Sword Douluo nodded slightly, a trace of admiration flashing through his eyes as well.

At that moment, Yan on the platform was unhappy. They had tested more than a dozen children, and every result had been accurate. Wasn't this just helping Master Ratio build his reputation?

Yan could not stand Master Ratio. He gritted his teeth, then suddenly stepped forward onto the platform and shouted:

"Dr. Ratio is very learned, but unfortunately, he's an ugly freak! That's why he always wears that stone-carved mask—he's a genuine weirdo! But surely none of you care about that, right?"

"..."

The crowd below fell silent for a moment. Some felt regretful, while others did not care in the slightest.

Most people assumed that someone capable of developing such formulas had to be an old man with a white beard.

What did appearance matter?

"You little bastard! Get back here!"

Suddenly, an angry roar rang out.

Then a streak of light flashed through the sky and instantly landed on the platform. It was Light Feather Douluo, who grabbed Yan by the shoulder and took him away.

"The rest of you, come back too! Immediately!"
