Yu Xiaogang's Theories Were All Plagiarized?

Spirit City, Spirit Hall Academy.

Hu Liena shot to her feet in fury, her pretty face flushed red.

"Outrageous!"

"That damned Lin Yuan, how could he slander Teacher like this?!"

"Teacher is pure and innocent. How could she possibly take a fancy to a Level Twenty-Nine piece of trash?"

"I'm going to kill him! I have to kill him!"

But then Hu Liena thought of the Diary Copy's rules and deflated again.

She wondered whether Teacher had obtained a Diary Copy. If she saw what Lin Yuan had written, wouldn't she be furious to death?

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Rongrong rolled around excitedly on her bed, her little feet kicking wildly.

"Wow! A shocking big melon!"

"That cold His Holiness the Pope has a rumored boyfriend? And he's a scumbag?"

"I want to see whether what Lin Yuan says is true."

"Once I'm done reading, I have to ask Dad and verify it. Maybe he knows the gossip from that year!"

However, to two other people, this diary was no different from a bolt from the blue.

Spirit City, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong's hand, which had been reviewing documents, began to tremble violently.

The blood drained from her stunningly beautiful face in an instant, replaced by endless terror and humiliation.

"This is bad!"

"This Lin Yuan is coming after me this time!"

This long-buried past was her greatest Achilles' heel!

And now it had actually been exposed to the public!

She could now be certain that there were other Diary Copy owners.

If Qian Renxue saw this, if those old geezers from the Worship Hall saw this...

Bibi Dong did not know whether all Diary Copy owners were female, or whether males could have them as well.

Heaven Dou City, Blue Tyrant Academy.

As Liu Erlong read the diary, the wine flask in her hand was crushed to pieces.

"Xiaogang..."

"Soft rice hard eat... coward..."

Those words were like sharp blades, viciously stabbing into her heart.

She wanted to refute them, only to realize that she had no strength to do so.

Because Yu Xiaogang really had run away from their wedding that year.

"Lin Yuan, who exactly are you?"

"Why are you tearing open all these scars?"

Meanwhile, the instigator, Lin Yuan, could not care less about any of this.

Although he could fabricate his diary, he felt there was no need to do so at all.

The more truthful he was, the more those Diary Copy owners would believe him.

Then, once he had locked onto the people who possessed Diary Copies, he could build upon the trust level established beforehand.

Perhaps he could appropriately tell a few lies about certain matters.

After all, everything he had written before was true. Those people would probably think what he wrote afterward was true as well, right?

The atmosphere in the Second Floor cafeteria was subtle.

Yu Xiaogang now sat alone in a corner, secretly observing Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu.

He had set his sights on Tang San's Twin Martial Souls potential, and he likewise coveted Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu's talent.

"As long as I can take all three of these geniuses as disciples, I, Yu Xiaogang, will be able to prove myself!"

"When that time comes, even Spirit Hall will have to look up to my theories!"

Yu Xiaogang secretly swore this to himself as he began pondering how to use his silver tongue to fool these little brats.

On Lin Yuan's side, however, he did not take Yu Xiaogang seriously at all.

He ate while continuing to write in his diary in his mind.

It had felt great to tear into him in the diary earlier, but it was not enough.

He had to strip Yu Xiaogang completely bare and let everyone see what kind of person he really was!

[This Yu Xiaogang calls himself "Master" all day long, and he even came up with something called the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.]

[It sounds intimidating, but it's all a joke.]

[Anyone with even a little sense and some standing in the Soul Master world knows that most of his so-called "theories" were copied from Martial Soul Hall's Library.]

[The rest were pieced together from internal materials of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]

[In my previous life, that would be like taking someone else's thesis, changing the name, reformatting it, and then claiming it was my original work.]

[What is that called? It's called academic fraud!]

[It's called plagiarism!]

Spirit City, Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong's expression shifted uncertainly as she read the contents of the diary.

As the former Saintess and current Pope, she naturally knew what was kept in Spirit Hall's library.

Back then, in order to help Yu Xiaogang, she had indeed taken him into the library and shown him quite a few research materials.

By now, Lin Yuan had written quite a few things in the diary that she knew about, and they had indeed all been true.

This made Bibi Dong believe even more that Lin Yuan truly was a so-called Transmigrator who knew what would happen in this world's future.

If that was the case, then what kind of ending awaited her in the future?

Lin Yuan continued writing:

[And the funniest part is that at least half of these so-called Ten Core Competencies are wrong!]

[One of them says that there is a limit to the age of Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb.]

[The limit for the first Soul Ring is 423 years.]

[I'm really curious, how did he come up with this "423"?]

[Did he have some incredibly precise instrument that could measure whether a Soul Beast had lived exactly 423 years? Not even one year more?]

[I seriously suspect that this was most likely because his father, Yu Yuanzhen's first Soul Ring might have been 423 years old, or because it was an individual example in some material he plagiarized.]

[Otherwise, who would be bored enough to compile data that could not possibly be measured precisely?]

[In truth, there is no fixed limit to the age of Soul Rings a Soul Master can absorb. It depends entirely on the Soul Master's physique!]

[The stronger the physique, the higher the age they can endure!]

[Take Bibi Dong, for example. She has Twin Martial Souls, and her physique far surpasses ordinary people's. Combined with the resources piled on by Spirit Hall, the Second Soul Ring of her Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul was a thousand-year one!]

[And according to Yu Xiaogang's theory, what is the limit for a Second Soul Ring? Less than eight hundred years!]

[This directly proves that Yu Xiaogang's theories are wrong. There needs to be a prerequisite: the age of Soul Rings one can absorb is directly proportional to a Soul Master's physique.]

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough!"

As Xiao Wu read this, she was just stuffing a chicken leg into her mouth when she suddenly failed to hold it in and choked.

She coughed violently, her little face turning bright red.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yuan stopped his knife and fork, looking at her with a faint smile. "Is the way I eat that funny?"

Xiao Wu hurriedly waved her hands, shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

"No, no!"

"I just... I just suddenly thought of something funny."

She spouted nonsense while laughing herself silly inside.

"Hahaha! This is killing me!"

"Lin Yuan's mouth is way too vicious! But I like it!"

As a Soul Beast, she knew better than anyone that absorbing Soul Rings had always depended on what one's body could endure.

As long as one's body and Spiritual Power could withstand it, even a ten-thousand-year first Soul Ring was not impossible!
