Dark World.
The Heavenly Screen likewise hung in midair, and information about Parallel Worlds appeared in everyone's minds.
Spirit Hall.
"Teacher, do you think there might be a Parallel World where I never joined Spirit Hall?"
Hu Liena, praised as a member of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and Bibi Dong's disciple, looked toward her teacher.
"Perhaps."
Bibi Dong gave a brief reply, but Hu Liena could clearly sense her teacher's perfunctoriness and distraction.
Thus, Hu Liena became curious about what her teacher was thinking at this moment.
And in truth, Bibi Dong was indeed thinking of many things.
She thought of the past that had led her step by step to where she was today.
If I had successfully left Spirit Hall with Xiao Gang back then, or if I had never joined Spirit Hall at all...
Bibi Dong kept imagining it all in her heart.
Elsewhere.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, do you think there might be a Parallel World where I successfully evolved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him.
It could only be said that Ning Fengzhi harbored a deep obsession with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Upon hearing the Heavenly Screen mention Parallel Worlds, this was the first thing that came to mind.
"Probably. If such a case truly exists, Fengzhi, you might be able to use that person's circumstances as a reference."
After pondering for a moment, Bone Douluo suddenly spoke.
"That's right. If there really is a successful evolution, we can use it as a reference."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up. He suddenly felt deep anticipation for the comparison footage that was about to play.
Elsewhere, at Shrek Academy.
"Teacher, if there is going to be a comparison, what kind of scene would you want to see?"
Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang beside him.
Now that the Shrek Seven Devils had gathered, along with his teacher's arrival, Tang San was filled with confidence for the future. He did not think he had any better choices left to make.
So rather than himself, he was more curious about everyone else's circumstances.
"There is nothing I want to see. A comparison where different choices lead to changed lives is entirely meaningless."
Yu Xiaogang coldly shook his head.
In truth, the very instant he learned of the concept of Parallel Worlds, Yu Xiaogang had thought of himself.
His life could be called a tragedy. As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, and the son of the clan leader, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, his status had been exceptionally prestigious.
Yet that prestige lasted only until his Martial Soul Awakening. On that day, the malignant mutated Martial Soul Luo Sanpao and his half-rank Innate Soul Power destroyed everything he had.
He became the disgrace of the clan, ridiculed by others, and the lifelong stain on his father's name.
Later, Yu Xiaogang continued researching and digging into Luo Sanpao's potential. Yet his talent was what it was, and in the end, he could only remain trapped at Rank 29 for the rest of his life.
Recalling all the effort he had made in the first half of his life, Yu Xiaogang believed that his choices had already been flawless. Talent had limited him; otherwise, he would never have ended up like this.
He was confident that even versions of himself in Parallel Worlds could not all reach his level. Perhaps those Yu Xiaogangs were still trapped at Tier 9 or Rank 19.
For him to reach Rank 29 was already tantamount to defying fate and changing Luo Sanpao's destiny.
"Enough. There is nothing worth watching here. With me making training plans for you, your future choices definitely will not go wrong."
"Just like me, every choice I made at every turning point in my life was perfect. If I am compared, the only thing that will appear is someone worse than me."
Yu Xiaogang stood confidently before the Shrek Seven Devils, looking at these promising youths, especially his own disciple, Tang San.
Even after doing everything perfectly, he could only reach this point and be treated as trash by everyone.
Then he would raise an invincible disciple and prove himself to everyone.
However, what Yu Xiaogang had not expected was that the first comparison subject appeared the very next second.
[First comparison subjects: Dark World Master Yu Xiaogang, White World Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang!]
Seeing the words on the Heavenly Screen, the Shrek Seven Devils, as well as Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the other Shrek Academy teachers watching nearby, all turned their gazes toward Yu Xiaogang.
Master Yu Xiaogang, Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang.
Without question, Master Yu Xiaogang was from their world. Meanwhile, the Yu Xiaogang from the other world had become a Titled Douluo, and even bore such an overwhelmingly domineering title as Dragon God. One could imagine his strength.
Then they recalled what Yu Xiaogang had said just seconds ago.
"Every choice I made at every turning point in my life was perfect. If I am compared, the only thing that will appear is someone worse than me."
The slap to the face came so quickly that no one could react.
A deathly silence hung over the training ground. No one knew how to respond.
Until—
Pfft!
A very faint sound of someone failing to suppress a laugh came from among the Shrek Seven Devils, instantly drawing everyone's attention. When they saw that it was Ning Rongrong, the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they understood.
Only she could laugh at a time like this.
Hearing the laughter, Tang San frowned and stared darkly at Ning Rongrong. If this person who dared mock his teacher were not his companion now, she would already have embarked upon the Way of Seeking Death!
"Impossible!!!"
Ning Rongrong's laughter seemed to flip the switch on the frozen training ground. The first person to erupt with doubt was Yu Xiaogang himself.
"Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang? How is that possible! My choices have already been flawless, and my research into Martial Souls is unmatched across the Douluo Continent. Even I cannot break through Rank 30, so which version of me could possibly become a Titled Douluo?"
"This must be a lie!"
Yu Xiaogang pointed at the Heavenly Screen, his eyes bloodshot and his breathing heavy as a bull. He kept repeating that it was impossible.
At that moment, he had already decided in his heart that the Heavenly Screen was a fraud deceiving the world. He even suspected it was some Soul Master's soul skill meant to smear him.
"Xiao Gang, calm down first."
Flender came to Yu Xiaogang's side and supported his friend's body.
"Perhaps they merely share the same name? Or perhaps there is some other reason."
"That's right, Teacher. We all know your talent. If even you cannot accomplish something, who else could?"
Tang San also came to Yu Xiaogang's side to console him.
Tang San's consolation proved highly effective. Yu Xiaogang soon calmed down, though his gaze became even darker.
Tang San's eyes shifted as though he had thought of something, and he spoke.
"Teacher, the Heavenly Screen said that someone's choices caused everything to change. Perhaps it was not you who changed, but your parents. Maybe they consumed some medicinal herbs or did something that changed your talent in that world."
"Yes, perhaps it was my father and mother who changed. Maybe the Martial Soul of that world's me was not Luo Sanpao, and my Innate Soul Power was not half a rank. Yes, that must be it!"
After hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang immediately accepted the theory.
He had even become certain that Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang might possess Innate Full Soul Power. Only then could he have become a Titled Douluo.
But upon thinking of that, dissatisfaction with this world immediately welled up in his heart.
"Damn heavens, why are we the same person? Why can someone else have Innate Full Soul Power while I ended up like this?!"
