Before this, Xiao Wu and the other two had only been mildly suspicious.
After all, Yu Xiaogang had taught the three of them for a long time, so they had still held expectations for him.
But today, after Ning Rongrong tested him like that, Yu Xiaogang had actually claimed all the credit for the theories for himself.
That made the three women see reality clearly.
Because Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had said that they had indeed heard of many of the theories Master mentioned long ago.
They had previously thought Yu Xiaogang's role was merely to compile them all together, which was still quite impressive.
But now, he shamelessly claimed everyone else's contributions as his own. This showed just how hypocritical Yu Xiaogang was.
The three exchanged looks without saying anything, yet their eyes conveyed a thousand unspoken words.
Still trapped in Shrek Academy, the three women could only remain for now and make plans for the long term...
Time passed little by little.
Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong was lecturing Hu Liena, warning her to stay far away from anyone surnamed Tang.
Hu Liena nodded. "Teacher, I understand!"
"Actually, I received that Light Screen too. I'm [Demon Fox]. I wasn't able to reveal it directly last night, so I hope Teacher will punish me!"
Bibi Dong was slightly surprised. "You're [Demon Fox]? You were connected to that mysterious Light Screen too?"
Hu Liena nodded solemnly.
Bibi Dong instantly felt awkward and continued asking, "Then, those so-called sharp reviews yesterday, you also..."
Hu Liena was equally at a loss. Scratching her head, she pretended not to know. "Teacher, I'm not interested in any sharp reviews. I didn't watch them."
"What is it, Teacher? Was the content especially unusual?"
"I was focused on what the other mysterious people were saying."
"Oh, ahem, ahem..." Knowing Hu Liena was saving her face, Bibi Dong could only change the subject and continue persuading her.
"In any case, Nana, I don't want you to truly let emotional matters affect Spirit Hall."
"Spirit Hall's Great Plan has been prepared for many years. There can't be any losses!"
Hu Liena immediately declared firmly, "Teacher, don't worry!"
"I don't care who the person on the other side is! As long as they are an enemy of Spirit Hall, I will never let them go!"
"Hu Liena belongs to Spirit Hall in life and will be Spirit Hall's ghost in death!!"
"Good, Teacher is reassured..." Bibi Dong patted Hu Liena's delicate shoulder. Looking at this little fox, she felt very satisfied.
At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed into view.
Then, a man in Golden Armor—seductive and bewitching despite still being a man—dropped to one knee before Bibi Dong and spoke.
"Your Excellency the Pope, I've found the Tang San you asked me to investigate!"
"Oh?" Bibi Dong waved a hand, signaling him to rise.
This man in Golden Armor was Yue Guan, one of Spirit Hall's elders, known as Chrysanthemum Douluo. He possessed the peak strength of a Titled Douluo and was also one of Bibi Dong's right-hand men.
Upon hearing Yue Guan's reply, Bibi Dong immediately asked, not caring that Hu Liena was beside her.
"Who is Tang San?"
Yue Guan explained, "Your Majesty, quite a few people registered with Spirit Hall are named Tang San."
"But based on your conjectures and the information, a Young Man with unusual talent, I ultimately identified a boy from 'Nuoding City Holy Soul Village.'"
"This child's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. He is currently around thirteen or fourteen years old and possesses Innate Full Soul Power. This Tang San is presently in a place called Suotuo City, studying at Shrek Academy!"
"According to what we learned, the headmaster of Shrek Academy is Flender, the Flying Horn of the legendary Golden Iron Triangle?"
Though this information seemed simple, Yue Guan and his subordinates had spent a long time gathering, screening, compiling, and summarizing it.
As Bibi Dong listened, her expression grew increasingly grave as she further analyzed the information concerning Tang San.
After a moment, Bibi Dong roughly began to see the picture.
"Blue Silver Grass, Innate Full Soul Power..."
"If it truly were a Useless Martial Soul, it could never possess Innate Full Soul Power. That means his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is at least a Top-tier Martial Soul."
"And the only top-tier Blue Silver Grass known to the world was that Blue Silver Emperor Qian Xunji hunted down back then."
"On top of that, this child is surnamed Tang. He must be that Tang Hao's bastard child with a Soul Beast!"
"Hmph!"
At this point, Bibi Dong abruptly rose to her feet. Her expression carried an unangered authority, her incomparably delicate features drawn together in a stern look.
She gripped her scepter in her right hand and slammed it down. A terrifying aura erupted at once, whipping up a violent gale.
Bibi Dong rebuked, "Yue Guan, tomorrow, personally go to that so-called Holy Soul Village and continue the investigation!"
"If he truly is Tang Hao's bastard child, This Seat will absolutely not let him go!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Pope!"
Yue Guan understood the key point as well. Tang Hao was the enemy of the entire Spirit Hall. If they could find this Tang San, then successfully locate Tang Hao—
It would make it easier for Spirit Hall to take revenge...
Yue Guan agreed and vanished at once, leaving only Hu Liena and Bibi Dong in the hall.
Seeing that there was nothing else to discuss, Bibi Dong had Hu Liena leave first.
As she departed, Hu Liena muttered to herself:
"So the Tang San mentioned in the Light Screen is actually the son of Tang Hao, Spirit Hall's great enemy."
"And his family is colluding with Soul Beasts—beings not of our kind."
"How could I ever like someone like that..."
"Damn it. Whether it's true or not, Tang San! If I ever meet you, I'll definitely kill you!!"
Although she had never even met Tang San in person, Hu Liena's killing intent toward him was now impossible to contain.
And now that she was mentally prepared, just as he had said, if the two of them ever came face-to-face, they would surely fight to the death. There was no other possibility!
Similar events were unfolding all across the continent.
On Sea God Island, within the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, at Skywater Academy, at Blue Tyrant Academy—everyone who had seen the Light Screen, even if they did not fully believe its contents—
Still began making relevant preparations, just in case...
Time slowly turned onward, pushed along bit by bit.
At last, night fell on this day.
Outside Spirit City, inside a house in Martial Soul Village.
Song Ye looked at the next day's new Review mission and began considering what he would write.
This time, the new review's title was:
[Please review Yu Xiaogang's theories!]
Seeing the title, Song Ye in Martial Soul Village was rather surprised:
"Interesting. Yesterday, it asked me to review Bibi Dong's View on Love, and today it wants me to review Gangzi's theories."
"Isn't this basically making me keep going after Bibi Dong?"
"What a pity. Bibi Dong can't see my review, or she'd die of rage..."
Song Ye gave a contemptuous chuckle and began pondering his wording—how to make the review harsher and curse Yu Xiaogang straight into the gutter.
Likewise, unbeknownst to him, as the new review topic appeared, the Light Screen once again displayed notifications before each of the characters.
Those chosen people scattered across distant corners of the land quickly opened the Light Screen, preparing to check the new content.
[Bingbing Youli]: "I didn't expect there to be more review content today. Is it one topic per day? It appeared at the same time as yesterday, too..."
