If it weren't for Pope Bibi Dong holding down the fort, Yan, with his sycophantic temper, would have nearly started a fight.
However, Song Ye couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind, and there was nothing Yan could do about it.
On the contrary, apart from Yan, the rest of the team felt a hint of admiration for Song Ye rather than anger.
Hu Liena watched Song Ye, pondering in her heart:
Indeed, this Song Ye had warned us to be careful of that Tang San before.
I originally thought what he said didn't amount to much, but I didn't expect that Tang San was truly extraordinary.
Now, during the Q&A Game, it is also him who discovers those details time and again, and then answers the questions correctly...
It seems this person's meticulous observation and judgment are both superior to ours.
Hu Liena naturally possessed a trait of admiring the strong; in the original story, her affection for Tang San was due to his strength.
She prided herself on being a genius, and only by meeting a man more talented than herself would she have the chance to fall in love.
As of now, if not for missing one Spirit Ring, Song Ye would have reached over level fifty, perhaps even stronger than her.
Such a genius—regardless of where his level came from—relied on his own wisdom to succeed through the Q&A Game.
By now, Hu Liena's favorable impression of Song Ye was indeed deepening, to the point of being somewhat obvious.
Only Song Ye, seeing the gaze Hu Liena cast his way, asked speechlessly:
"Why are you looking at me? Do you want to pick a fight too?"
Hu Liena was stunned, saying awkwardly: "No, no, I just think you're very smart..."
"Song Ye, I never realized you were so outstanding before."
"It's not too late to realize it now! Just don't disturb me while I'm answering questions!" Song Ye said casually:
"I can only remind you all, if you want to answer correctly, then observe the details more!"
"If you don't get it right, it's because you don't pay attention to details. I like girls who don't pay attention to details the least."
"Mm~" Hu Liena nodded gently.
Sun Moon Forest.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign felt the reward he had obtained within his body; it was equivalent to the spirit power of three levels for a human around level forty or fifty.
After absorbing it, he did indeed notice that his cultivation had progressed slightly.
Of course, for his massive body, this bit of spirit power was not much.
The Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign muttered: "Although this reward is not much, it can indeed increase my cultivation."
"This Light Screen said that the later questions will be more critical, and the intensity of the rewards will be better."
"Perhaps the rewards I obtain later will increase my cultivation by several thousand or even tens of thousands of years..."
Thinking of this, the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign finally became truly interested in the Q&A Game.
Back on the arena.
Yu Xiaogang was still bickering with Dai Mubai and the others, feeling absolutely unconvinced in his heart:
No, if this continues, my prestige in Shrek will be completely ruined.
I still have to rely on these brats to save face for me; I must answer the following questions correctly!
This Light Screen is also problematic. It keeps asking questions I don't know the answers to. Isn't this targeting me?
Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at the Light Screen, reaching this conclusion:
"That's right!"
"The Q&A Game must be targeting me; otherwise, how could I, a Theory Master, not know a single question?"
"Even the Q&A Game is jealous of my talent. Could it be that I, Yu Xiaogang, am truly a genius envied by the heavens?"
"Sigh, I can only work harder and rely on my supreme wisdom and world-shaking talent to break through this suppression..."
Just then, the next question Yu Xiaogang was anticipating arrived.
Everyone's attention was drawn once again, and no one cared about him.
On the Light Screen.
[What is broader than the forest is the ocean! What is broader than the human heart is still the ocean!]
[The number of Spirit Beasts in the ocean is by no means less than on land; it is only because of the ocean's depth that most Spirit Beasts remain hidden within the seawater, unknown to anyone!]
[Question: Who is the sovereign of the Spirit Beasts in the ocean?]
As the third question of this set appeared, quite a few people actually guessed it.
The previous questions asked about the sovereigns of the Star Dou Forest and the Sun Moon Forest; many were mentally prepared that the third question would be about the sovereign of the ocean.
Of course, the answer remained unknown.
However, the moment the question appeared, voices immediately emerged in the comment section of the Light Screen:
[Bo Saixi]: "I didn't expect that a question we could actually answer would finally appear."
[Seahorse Douluo]: "Indeed. The Star Dou Forest and Tang San stuff from before—how would we know about those? High Priest, we can definitely get this one right!"
[Sea Dragon Douluo]: "Just input the answer. Don't waste time with idle chatter."
Everyone was surprised that someone was already showing off on the Light Screen the moment the question appeared.
It wasn't exactly showing off, more like just casually sighing with emotion.
The crowd was suddenly astonished. Where did these people come from? Seahorse Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo—could they be Title Douluo?
On the arena stage.
The group was very puzzled.
Chen Xin, who was also a Title Douluo, spoke up first:
"Seahorse Douluo, Sea Dragon Douluo? Could these be Title Douluo among the Sea Spirit Masters?"
Beside him, Ning Rongrong leaned in and asked, "Sword Grandpa, what is a Sea Spirit Master?"
Chen Xin explained, "Sea Spirit Masters are spirit masters who live on the ocean or by the coast. Their combat style is very different from ours; they often prefer to leverage the power of the ocean to compete."
"We don't know much about Sea Spirit Masters. I didn't expect there to be Title Douluo among them, and it seems there's more than just one or two."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo sighed helplessly and muttered to himself:
"Another bunch of Title Douluo have appeared. My status in the world of Title Douluo is going to drop again..."
"Sigh, I worked so hard to cultivate to the Title Douluo realm, so why are people stronger than me popping up one after another?"
Dugu Bo complained speechlessly, and the Shrek Seven Devils nearby didn't know what to say.
As for Yu Xiaogang, he didn't care about the others. He pondered for a moment and then mused:
"Why is it another question where I don't know the answer?"
"The ruler of the ocean—how would I know who the ruler of the ocean is?"
"Damn it! This Light Screen is courting death! It only knows how to target me and suppress my talent!"
"No, I must be able to find a clue. The ruler in the ocean, the ocean..."
Yu Xiaogang put on a show, falling into deep thought.
At this point, Dai Mubai and the others had already given up on him. Keep pretending, keep pretending, as if you could figure out the answer just by thinking for a few seconds.
They would rather guess randomly themselves and try entering the name Bo Saixi to see if it worked.
Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong was also pondering, but she had absolutely no idea what the answer was.
With no other choice, she thought for a moment and decided to request external aid.
Bibi Dong immediately turned around, looked at Song Ye, and took the initiative to ask: "Song Ye, do you know what the answer is?"
Song Ye was stunned. No way, you're a Pope and you're asking me? Isn't that embarrassing?
But this Bibi Dong character—if he didn't answer her, he feared there might be trouble. He certainly wouldn't die, as the Q&A Game provided protection, but he feared being restrained.
Song Ye thought for a moment and decided to continue stalling:
"Your Majesty the Pope, I don't know the answer either."
"However, I do have some thoughts..."
"Think about it, the spirit beast ruler of the ocean—that must be some powerful sea spirit beast, right?"
"Your Majesty the Pope, you are well-read; you should know the most about sea spirit beasts."
"If you just input the names of those spirit beasts, wouldn't you have a high chance of getting it right?"
After listening, Bibi Dong felt it made a lot of sense.
She nodded unconsciously and muttered, "Hmm, you're right."
"Then I'll give it a try..."
Bibi Dong immediately recalled the sea spirit beasts she knew of.
Back when they attacked Sea God Island, there seemed to be a Demon Soul Great White Shark that was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Bibi Dong decided to play it safe and added a suffix: Demon Soul Great White Shark Ruler!
It was the strongest spirit beast she knew of, and she had added a suffix—this had to be correct, right?
