Inside the special space.
Ah Rou didn't pay much attention to the question on the Light Screen.
But the spider Spirit Beasts around her—especially the several Man Faced Demon Spiders Tang San had killed—were furious, roaring nonstop:
"Chitter!"
"Chitter!"
Ah Rou looked at them, slightly surprised. "You hate Tang San that much?"
"Wow, you're right. It seems Tang San killed quite a few spiders. Is his Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass or a spider?"
"Chitter!"
"Chitter!"
Even after death, the spiders seemed to be shouting that they had to come back to life and take revenge on Tang San!
They'd kill him and hang him in their cave as a decoration!
Ah Rou's eye twitched as she pondered aloud, "Normally, even if a Spirit Beast is killed, it wouldn't be this consumed by hatred."
"Looks like this Tang San really isn't a good person. He's terrifying."
"I hope Xiao Wu has never met a human like him..."
"If I were still around, I'd protect Xiao Wu from humans like Tang San!"
As soon as the question appeared on the Light Screen, everyone couldn't help but look surprised.
It was the first question that wasn't multiple choice, though it was basically multiple choice anyway.
There were still only two options, so it was easier.
But the question itself was rather unusual.
The Shrek Seven Devils read it, then looked at Yu Xiaogang.
Oscar was the first to laugh. "Hahaha, this is the fourth question, and we finally got a free point!"
"It asks who contributed more to Xiao San's growth: the Man Faced Demon Spider or Grandmaster."
"Isn't that obvious? It's definitely Grandmaster. Didn't the Man Faced Demon Spider just give Xiao San a Spirit Ring and a Spirit Bone?"
Dai Mubai nodded with a smile. "Finally, an easy question!"
"Grandmaster, we're choosing you this time. We're sure to win a prize."
Seeing the question, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt that fortune was smiling on him.
"Could Heaven have sensed that my theoretical research has made a contribution, and set this question specifically to praise me?"
"Hahaha, good! Very good!"
"I never thought that one day Heaven itself would acknowledge me, Yu Xiaogang!"
"Xiao San, I don't need to tell you the answer, do I?"
Tang San promptly nodded, just as pleased. "Teacher, of course I'm choosing you."
"You're my lifelong mentor. You've undoubtedly played a decisive role in my growth!"
As he spoke, Tang San and the other Shrek Seven Devils, including Yu Xiaogang, silently entered Yu Xiaogang's name in their minds. That was their answer.
Nearby, Liu Erlong nestled against Yu Xiaogang, excitedly saying, "Xiaogang, this question will definitely make a name for you!"
"That's wonderful! Who'll dare laugh at you and say your theories are useless now?"
"Er Long, don't worry. I'll prove myself!" Yu Xiaogang said with pride and confidence. "Because I'm the King of Theory!"
Not far away...
Bibi Dong watched Liu Erlong lying in Yu Xiaogang's arms, consumed by jealousy.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth. "Well, Yu Xiaogang, are you trying to provoke me?"
"Still, I never expected Xiaogang's talent to have caught Heaven's attention."
"This question is an easy point. Of course we should choose Xiaogang."
"Tang San has reached this point thanks to Xiaogang."
"Ah... Xiaogang, if only we were still together. We could keep each other company, and then you could become the chief adviser of Spirit Hall."
"Your talent is simply too dazzling..."
The others, including Bibi Dong and the Shrek Seven Devils, made much the same choice.
Everyone thought this was an easy question. How much could a Spirit Beast really have helped Tang San grow?
Surely a teacher's contribution was greater and more useful!
Song Ye, however, sneered inwardly:
Did they come up with this question just to humiliate Gangzi?
Could his contribution really compare to the Man Faced Demon Spider's?
The Man Faced Demon Spider gave Tang San a Spirit Ring and an External Soul Bone. That External Soul Bone helped Tang San overcome powerful enemies at critical moments again and again, and helped him escape death.
In the end, the Eight Spider Lances even grew into a Super Divine Artifact. It was an indispensable opportunity for Tang San!
Without a second thought, he entered his answer: Man Faced Demon Spider.
Beneath the Life Lake.
Di Tian stroked his chin and pointed at King of Ten Thousand Demons, urging him, "Quick, King of Ten Thousand Demons. Analyze it for us. Who helped Tang San more?"
King of Ten Thousand Demons nodded and grinned. "Beast God, isn't that obvious?"
"It's definitely the Man Faced Demon Spider. Spirit Beasts help Spirit Beasts!"
"As for that Yu Xiaogang, sure, he's supposedly a teacher, but in my opinion, human teachers are useless."
"I'm still inclined to choose the Man Faced Demon Spider!"
"Good. Then we'll choose the Man Faced Demon Spider!" Di Tian said. "King of Ten Thousand Demons, if you get it right again, you'll be our chief strategist from now on!"
"Many thanks, Beast God!" King of Ten Thousand Demons said excitedly.
Before long, they had chosen their answers, as had the other contestants.
Inside the special space, Ah Rou was still talking with the Man Faced Demon Spiders, Earth Cave Demon Spiders, and Mandala Snakes.
In the end, she still chose Yu Xiaogang.
The Man Faced Demon Spiders kept roaring:
"Chitter!"
"Chitter!"
It seemed they were ashamed of having helped Tang San. They absolutely refused to admit that Spirit Beasts like them had helped a human like him grow.
So they chose Yu Xiaogang too, to preserve the last shred of their dignity as Spirit Beasts.
Ah Rou also felt that a teacher should be more important than a Spirit Beast, so she chose Yu Xiaogang.
Almost everyone, including them, had chosen Yu Xiaogang.
A moment later, the answer appeared on the Light Screen.
On the Light Screen!
[Correct answer: Man Faced Demon Spider!]
[The Man Faced Demon Spider provided Tang San with two Spirit Rings and the crucial growth item, the Eight Spider Lances! The Eight Spider Lances repeatedly helped him escape danger and reap enormous benefits as he grew!]
[Prize winners: Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Scarlet King, Three-Eyed Golden Lion/Song Ye!]
[Reward: Soul Power Level increased by one!]
The energy granted by the Q&A Game appeared inside Song Ye's body the next instant.
His level rose for no reason once again. Song Ye had now reached level 47.
Feeling the Soul Power within him, he exclaimed excitedly:
"At this rate, maybe I'll become a Titled Douluo in a single day!"
"And unlike the Soul Power other Soul Masters cultivate, which is so flimsy and unstable..."
"The Soul Power granted to me by the Q&A Game has a solid foundation. It's far stronger than theirs!"
"Excellent. Another day of hard work!"
He smiled at the Light Screen, his heart full of joy.
But as soon as the answer was announced, nearly all the contestants were stunned.
No one had expected the answer to be the Man Faced Demon Spider instead of Yu Xiaogang!
How could a Spirit Beast that had only given Tang San a Spirit Bone have contributed more to his growth than his own personal teacher?
W-was that really right?!
