Where Did Gangzi's Theory Come From? Of Course I Studied Hard for It! (Gangzi's Confidence)

Song Ye's Soul Power had now reached level 59. He would probably break through to level 60 soon and become a Spirit Emperor!

Then, after answering a few more questions, wouldn't he easily reach Spirit Saint, Soul Douluo, or even Titled Douluo rank?

Song Ye mused, "The best rewards come from answering alone."

"If only there were some harder questions."

Hu Liena happened to hear him. She sprang to her feet, excitedly exclaiming:

"Hey, hey, hey! Song Ye, I heard that! You're hoping the questions will be harder? You're totally cheating!"

"Huh?"

Song Ye froze. Damn, he'd almost forgotten that this brat was still standing nearby.

He immediately retorted, "I, Lu Ben— I mean, Song Ye, am not cheating!"

"Hu Liena, don't slander me for no reason!"

"I'm relying on my brain. I'm a scholar! Can you really call it cheating when a scholar does it?"

"A scholar? You're a scholar..." Hu Liena looked unconvinced.

What kind of book could tell him things that would happen in the future?

At that moment, Hu Liena's argument with Song Ye drew even more attention, and Bibi Dong began questioning him too:

"Song Ye, how did you get that question right?"

"Don't tell me you read in a book that this so-called Dragon God would be usurped in the future, too?"

Song Ye was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to answer that? He really had read it in a book.

It was all written plainly in Soul Land IV: Ultimate Douluo!

But he couldn't give that answer, so he could only make up another excuse:

"Your Holiness, I really am not lying. I can swear to it right here and now. I really did read it in a book!"

"If I didn't read it in a book, then may Heaven punish me severely! I'd even be willing to marry ten wives and become the strongest Titled Douluo!"

"Damn, you're asking for everything!" Yan couldn't help cursing from nearby.

Bibi Dong immediately snapped, "Yan, shut up!"

She continued watching Song Ye, asking suspiciously, "Fine, you read it in a book. Tell me, what book talks about the future?!"

Song Ye replied, "Well, predicting the future is obviously impossible."

"Your Holiness, I read about this so-called Dragon God in a book. It said he was incredibly powerful, and that as long as he didn't want to die, he couldn't truly die."

"So I figured that if the Dragon God died, he must have been the one who didn't want to live."

"And the question asked who would return as the Dragon God. Wouldn't that mean someone else became the Dragon God? Because the original Dragon God didn't want to live anymore."

"That makes sense, right? It's logical, isn't it?"

"This..." Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and the others listened to his explanation and thought it over. It did sound plausible.

If Song Ye was telling the truth, then his reasoning checked out.

But Bibi Dong continued, "What was the book called? Hand it over so I can take a look!"

"Sorry, Your Holiness. I read it when I was little. I thought it was just a comic book, so I tossed it aside. I don't know where it is now." Song Ye grinned.

"What?!" Bibi Dong scolded. "You just tossed aside a priceless book like that?"

"Why didn't you use it to prop up a table leg?!"

"Your Holiness, because I buy better-quality tables," Song Ye replied solemnly.

"You, you!"

"Hmph!"

Bibi Dong couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth, but it was clear that Song Ye would never share his answers.

There was nothing she could do. She could only wait.

Bibi Dong continued, "Fine, Song Ye!"

"Song Ye, come to my room after the Q&A Game is over. I'll make sure to take good care of you!"

"Hmph!"

It was practically an open threat: once the Q&A Game ended, she would see if he could still keep the truth to himself.

She couldn't touch him now, but surely she could deal with him afterward.

Song Ye waved his hand, teasing her nonchalantly. "Yes, Your Holiness. I'll be sure to come early!"

Nearby, Hu Liena stared fixedly at Song Ye. She felt that she understood him less and less.

Who would've thought someone like him had been hiding in their group?

Hu Liena felt that Song Ye's name would be etched into her heart now. She'd never forget it.

As for Song Ye's affairs, the people from Spirit Hall could only let them go for now. No one could touch him.

On the arena.

The members of the other teams, along with the Shrek Seven Devils, had also started paying attention to Song Ye.

Ning Rongrong kept watching Song Ye. The longer she looked, the more she felt that he wasn't bad-looking. He was actually quite decent.

She murmured, "That makes ten wins in a row for Song Ye, right?"

"Why does he seem more like a Theory Master?"

Zhu Zhuqing agreed from beside her. "Exactly. If he wasn't so knowledgeable about theory, how would he know everything?"

"Hey, don't say that. Be careful—Grandmaster is petty," Oscar reminded them from nearby.

At that, the two of them quieted down and glanced at Yu Xiaogang.

Sure enough, Gangzi was grinding his teeth nearby, staring daggers at Song Ye.

Gangzi cursed inwardly:

That detestable Song Ye! He keeps answering correctly and doesn't even take me seriously!

He must be jealous of my talent and covet my title as Theory Master. That's why he keeps getting the answers right—to target and suppress me!

This brat deserves to die! Just wait. Once I get my hands on the Silver Dragon King's blood, I'll make sure you're dead, Song Ye!

Still, he didn't dare say much out loud. He could only wait for the right opportunity.

Song Ye had finished absorbing his Spirit Ring. The others had been waiting for quite some time and had discussed things for a while.

Finally, as if it had happened without anyone noticing, a new question appeared.

According to the rules stated earlier, each set consisted of five questions, and the second set had focused on the rulers of Spirit Beasts.

No one knew what the third set's theme would be...

On the Light Screen.

Under everyone's gaze, a new question appeared.

To everyone's surprise, the third set no longer focused on powerful figures. Instead, it turned its attention back to humans.

And what Yu Xiaogang hadn't expected was that the subject of the third set was none other than himself!

[Yu Xiaogang claimed to be the Theory Master of the Soul Master World. Because he had a certain relationship with the Pope of Spirit Hall, he eventually managed to earn himself the title of Grandmaster!]

[Yu Xiaogang had low Innate Soul Power, so he wanted to prove himself through theoretical knowledge. He had always wanted to become a true Theory Master, someone worthy of others' respect!]

[Question: Where did most of Yu Xiaogang's theories come from?]

[A: He figured them out entirely on his own!]

[B: He compiled and summarized information!]

[C: He plagiarized, copied, and adapted other people's work!]

[D: He made things up out of thin air!]

No one could have imagined that the new question would target Yu Xiaogang right away.

Everyone began discussing it at once, voices rising all around.

On the arena.

The remaining members of the Shrek Seven Devils looked at the question, then one by one turned their gazes to Yu Xiaogang.

Did this question mean they were about to expose one of Gangzi's dirty secrets?
