[An unexpected scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.]

[The moment Little Bibi Dong steadied herself,]

[she actually shook off Teacher Qian Xunji's hand.]

[Little Bibi Dong pumped her short legs, her face full of excitement as she ran straight toward Yu Xiaotian.]

[Spirit Hall's Saintess]

[had actually abandoned her teacher]

[for the sake of a boy.]

[Little Bibi Dong's eyes held no one else.]

[Little Tian Brother!]

[That crisp, sweet call left every important figure present stunned.]

[As an Innate Full Soul Power genius adopted by Spirit Hall,]

[Bibi Dong had always been lonely and proud among her peers.]

[She thought highly of herself]

[and had never deigned to associate with ordinary people.]

[But]

[after accompanying her teacher on a visit to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,]

[she met Yu Xiaotian.]

[Unlike everyone else her age, he neither revered nor fawned over her.]

[Instead, he told her many novel and interesting stories.]

[That witty way of speaking]

[instantly captured Little Bibi Dong's heart.]

[The two children quickly became close.]

[You still haven't finished telling me that Ultraman story from last time.]

[Bibi Dong blinked her big eyes and tugged expectantly at Yu Xiaotian's sleeve.]

[Yu Xiaotian smiled faintly and reached out to straighten her bangs.]

[The gesture was natural and intimate.]

[Alright. Once the awakening is over, I'll take you to the Back Mountain and tell you all about it.]

[The scene was like the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, so beautiful that no one could bear to disturb them.]

[However, someone nearby was displeased.]

[When Yu Xiaogang saw his brother being monopolized by this beautiful outsider, he immediately grew anxious.]

[Like a little tiger guarding its food, he rushed over and forcibly squeezed himself between them.]

[He spread his arms in front of Yu Xiaotian and glared furiously at Bibi Dong.]

[Go away!]

[He's my brother!]

[You're not allowed to take him away!]

[Yu Xiaogang's look of treating her like a formidable enemy, his face full of jealousy, instantly amused countless people.]

[Yu Xiaotian, meanwhile, looked helpless.]

[He held down his bristling little brother with one hand while giving Bibi Dong an apologetic, wry smile with the other.]

[He was busy beyond measure.]

[Not far away, Qian Xunji frowned slightly at the sight.]

[In Qian Xunji's eyes,]

[Bibi Dong was a peerless genius with Innate Full Soul Power.]

[She was the future Pope.]

[Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was powerful,]

[there had been no word of any exceptionally gifted talent in this generation.]

[Yu Xiaotian looked pleasing enough,]

[but before his talent was known,]

[this was still beneath her status.]

This childhood innocence on the Sky Screen triggered utterly different nuclear-level reactions in the two worlds.

Black World.

Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong was completely dumbfounded.

She stared blankly at the "herself" in the scene, whose eyes were filled only with Yu Xiaotian.

A sense of absurdity rose within her.

"So the me from that world actually liked Yu Xiaotian?"

"Then what was Xiaogang supposed to be? A third wheel? Or an obstacle?"

"How could I have been blind enough to fall for someone else? What was so good about Yu Xiaotian? Could he compare to Xiaogang's talent?"

Bibi Dong felt a wave of panic.

She had always believed that she and Yu Xiaogang were soulmates, a match destined by heaven.

Yet the cruel reality of the Parallel World seemed to be telling her—

If someone more outstanding and more radiant appeared, perhaps everything would change.

Shrek Academy.

If Bibi Dong was panicking, then Yu Xiaogang was practically exploding with rage.

It could even be said that love had turned into hatred.

Watching the Bibi Dong in the scene act affectionately toward Yu Xiaotian, while completely ignoring him, the flames of jealousy in Yu Xiaogang's eyes nearly burst forth.

"Just as I thought! I knew it!"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his heart filled with venomous resentment:

"When Bibi Dong broke up with me back then, it wasn't because of any pressure from Spirit Hall at all!"

"She just thought I was useless!"

"She despised me for being weak!"

"She despised my martial soul for being a pig!"

"See? In that world, the moment a Yu Xiaotian who looked stronger and more handsome than me appeared, she immediately threw herself at him!"

"Women! They're all vain women!"

"The one who was wrong back then wasn't me at all—it was Bibi Dong!"

He placed all the blame on Bibi Dong's change of heart.

Yet he never once considered his own cowardice back then.

White World.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Unlike the bitter hatred of the Black World, the White World was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

As the disciples watched the Sky Screen, they could not help but let out good-natured laughter.

"Oh my, so the Second Master was this clingy as a child?"

"Haha, just because he didn't want Sister-in-law to take Big Brother away, he acted like a little tiger. That's hilarious!"

The grown-up Yu Xiaogang was standing in the courtyard.

His face was red as a beet, and he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

"This is slander! When I was little, I was never that..."

He tried to argue, but before the undeniable evidence in the footage, his words seemed pale and powerless.

No one paid him any attention. They simply kept laughing.

Yu Xiaotian, standing nearby, turned to look at Bibi Dong beside him.

With a perfectly serious expression, he teased:

"Who would've thought? So you'd been plotting against me since you were so young?"

"At such a young age, you should've been learning properly, yet you already knew how to flirt with men?"

Bibi Dong's pretty face reddened.

In embarrassment and annoyance, she raised the scepter in her hand.

She poked Yu Xiaotian in the waist.

"Hmph! Stop acting smug after taking advantage!"

"Back then, it was clearly you who tricked me with all those sweet words!"

After saying that, she could not help looking at the Sky Screen again, her eyes filled with nostalgia and sweetness.

After the pleasantries, the scene finally reached the main event—the awakening ceremony.

[Just like in the Black World]

[This generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had produced no pleasant surprises]

[Most disciples possessed utterly ordinary talent]

[The atmosphere at the scene gradually turned cold]

[Whispers even began spreading among the guests]

[Especially after Yu Xiaogang awakened his martial soul, Three-Eyed Demon, the murmuring reached a peak]

[Boom]

[As the light faded]

[A Three-Eyed Demon that looked both like a pig and a dog appeared before everyone]

[Soul Power test result: half a level]

[The result left everyone utterly shocked]

[And now, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived]

[Yu Xiaotian stepped forward]

[All eyes in the hall focused on him once more]

[Everyone placed all their hopes on him]

[All the disciples and elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, along with Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen, pinned their hopes on him]

[Hoping he would amaze them all in one fell swoop]

Seeing this, the people of the White World felt no particular stir in their hearts, since they already knew the outcome.

After all, in their eyes, it did not matter what kind of talent Yu Xiaotian possessed.

Because that person now stood at the pinnacle; how he got there was no longer important.

The people of the Black World, however, were extremely curious.

How would the future Limit Douluo astonish everyone at his awakening ceremony?

Only Yu Xiaogang of Shrek Academy broke down.

He stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Why? Why didn't I go mad in that world? How could he hold himself back?"
