Rewarded with a God-tier Martial Soul! Three Women Question Gangzi!

"Wo Cao! The Tree of Life?"

Song Ye heard the reward and simultaneously sensed some kind of power within his body awakening.

He was nearly scared to death. "The Tree of Life... could it be the very Tree of Life that is the true form of the Goddess of Life, the God King of the God Realm?"

"The Goddess of Life is a God King formed from the Tree of Life. If I possess such a Martial Soul, wouldn't that mean I can never die in the future?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly summoned his original Martial Soul.

Originally, Song Ye's Martial Soul had merely been the most ordinary kind of weed—the kind that was inferior even to Blue Silver Grass. It was simply green, simply pointed at the tip, with no branches at all.

Yet now, thanks to the extra boost from the first reward, his weed Martial Soul had actually evolved into the God-tier Martial Soul, the Tree of Life!

And it was even a God King-tier Martial Soul. If he cultivated properly, he would be highly likely to inherit the Goddess of Life's divine position in the future!

Even if that did not work out, with such talent, inheriting the position of some other First-level God would still be pretty good, right?

Most importantly, this system was not a one-time thing. As long as he continued completing review missions in the future, he could keep obtaining rewards. Even creating his own divine position was not impossible.

At that thought, Song Ye could not help but suck in a sharp breath. Looking at the vibrant green Tree of Life, surging with Life Force and seeming endless, undying, and indestructible, his heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction.

"Good, this is too good!"

"A God King-tier Martial Soul! As long as I keep doing reviews, reaching the pinnacle will be no problem!"

"The system came at just the right time. Though it was ten years late, it came in the end..."

Song Ye then tested the Tree of Life's power and discovered that although he was only level 19, he already possessed strength that Soul Masters of the same rank could not possibly imagine.

He could restore his condition at will. Even if someone slashed his thigh with a knife, it would immediately heal.

Such vitality was countless times stronger than any Nine Heart Begonia or Jade Swan!

This was the origin of life, the most powerful existence in terms of vitality!

The only pity was that the Martial Soul's offensive power was limited. Although Song Ye could condense Life Force to strike his opponents, its might could not compare to that of an Assault System Soul Master.

If he wanted to make up for this defect, he would need to choose his Soul Rings carefully in the future.

"Besides, my First Soul Ring is only a little over a hundred years old..."

"Sigh, my talent was too poor. I was born into this world as the child of ordinary people, with no money and no ability. Back then, I nearly died just to kill a Soul Beast. That was already the best I could do."

"I wonder whether future reviews can elevate my First Soul Ring."

Thinking of this, Song Ye was still full of anticipation as he waited for tomorrow's review mission.

Meanwhile, everywhere else had already been affected. Countless thoughts emerged in people's minds.

On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi was still studying the appearance of the Light Screen.

In the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong was considering how to teach her disciple not to be a Love Brain tomorrow.

Within the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Yan was still arguing with others, insisting that her grandfather was right and that Yu Xiaogang was a liar!

At Blue Tyrant Academy, the owner of the name [Xinping Qihe], namely Liu Erlong, was confronting Dugu Yan, and the two were hurling insults at each other!

But in truth, because of the Light Screen's assessment, Liu Erlong had already begun to doubt.

After all, the Light Screen had said that Yu Xiaogang plagiarized his theories and was irresponsible. How could Liu Erlong remain completely unaffected?

Especially since the Light Screen claimed that Bibi Dong had fallen in love with Yu Xiaogang because of an illusion, causing Liu Erlong to question herself as well.

At Blue Tyrant Academy, she muttered to herself:

"If Bibi Dong fell in love with Xiaogang because she was affected by an illusion..."

"Then what about me? Was I affected too...?"

"After all, by normal standards, Xiaogang really was not strong enough, and he ran away back then, leaving me regardless of whether I lived or died."

"If my love also came from an illusion, if it was fake... what should I do...?"

"Sigh..."

In the end, Liu Erlong could only sigh helplessly and let nature take its course.

Her situation was similar to Bibi Dong's. After being influenced by the Light Screen like this, both women began questioning the nature of their feelings.

If the essence of those feelings was fake, did they still need to love Yu Xiaogang?

The only thing they could use to comfort themselves was that the Light Screen was talking nonsense, though they did not dare be certain...

Elsewhere, such as Skywater Academy, Shui Bing'er was likewise chatting with others inside. Her name was [Bingbing Youli].

And then there were Xiao Wu and the other two, who could not sleep at all. Late at night, as the seeds of doubt grew, they kept discussing matters and discovered more and more problems with Master.

It seemed that many of the flaws Yu Xiaogang had originally hidden could now be noticed as soon as they thought carefully about them.

Xiao Wu and the other two were greatly astonished. They had never considered it before, but now that they looked at it, Master really did not seem all that impressive!

They spent the entire night without sleep...

Until the next morning.

A new round of training began at Shrek.

At this time, Yu Xiaogang, as usual, prepared to direct everyone in physical training—running laps.

However, after everyone had assembled, Ning Rongrong still boldly asked:

"Master, may I ask you a question?"

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. They were about to begin the running exercises—what was this about?

Still, he nodded. "Ask."

Ning Rongrong pondered for several seconds before finally voicing her doubt. "Master, did you come up with all of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul by yourself?"

"I don't mean anything by it. I just think you're amazing, Master!"

Ning Rongrong concealed her true intentions, pretending to ask out of admiration.

When Yu Xiaogang heard that, he was immensely pleased. He had thought there was some serious matter, but it turned out she simply admired him.

He deliberately put on the air of a reclusive sage, yet he could not stop the corners of his mouth from rising as he smiled.

"Of course, Rongrong."

"If I hadn't researched those theories myself, what right would I have to publish them?"

"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul was the culmination of everything I had learned in my life—a theory I created that could change the entire Soul Master world!"

"It is only a pity that theories ahead of their time are often difficult for people to accept. That is why I need all of you to prove them for me now!"

"I see..." Ning Rongrong had already formed some suspicions after hearing this.

Even Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing frowned as they looked at Yu Xiaogang.

Yet Ning Rongrong still wanted to be cautious, so she asked again, "Then, Master, theories like these must have been very difficult to devise."

"Have you ever cited anyone else's theories? Or learned from other people's theories when writing your own?"

Yu Xiaogang continued arrogantly, "Naturally, I did draw upon some. However, the main theories were all conclusions I reached through my own research into all kinds of materials."

"The small amount of other people's theories I studied was merely so I could know myself and my enemy, and find the flaws in their work!"

"Although I, Yu Xiaogang, do not possess outstanding Martial Soul talent, I strive tirelessly and never yield. I have my own talent, and I can still rely on the theories I wrote myself to shock the Soul Master world!"

"Rongrong, all of you must have this kind of ambition in the future as well. No matter what happens, you must rely on yourselves. Only what you earn through your own efforts is real!"

After hearing him out, Ning Rongrong's eye twitched, but she still nodded with a stiff smile, as though she had taken his words to heart.

But in truth, from the moment Yu Xiaogang shamelessly uttered those words, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing had all become certain.

What the Light Screen had said was probably all true...

So-called Master was actually a hypocrite who plagiarized others' theories, then shamelessly claimed the credit for himself!
