Disciplining Yu Xiaogang

Two days later, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo returned. The three members of the Qian Family's Angel Legion had smoothly obtained their ninth Soul Rings and become genuine Titled Douluo.

Qian Daoliu revealed a satisfied smile. Ever since returning from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had been busy perfecting the Soul Core Method while also attempting to improve the Wuji Technique, hoping to make it better suited to the Angel Clan.

Now that the clan had gained three more Titled Douluo, Qian Daoliu was filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Suddenly, he recalled something. He had long wanted to deal with that good-for-nothing from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. That trash had leaked the secret of the Angel Soul Bone Set, causing Xue'er's years-long infiltration plan to fail. Even though it had yet to happen in this life, Qian Daoliu would not let him off easily.

As it happened, the Angel Legion had gained three Titled Douluo. Qian Daoliu planned to dispatch one of them to Notting City and strip Yu Xiaogang of his status as an honorary elder.

As for how to strip it from him, Qian Daoliu had learned through Qin Heng's thoughts that his so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul had all been plagiarized from Spirit Hall's library. The works that had earned him the position of honorary elder were all copied. Wasn't stripping him of that position only natural?

Afterward, Qian Daoliu arranged for people to go to the library and gather conclusive evidence of Yu Xiaogang's plagiarism in Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, then compiled it into a report and sent it to Bibi Dong.

After reading it, Bibi Dong fell silent for a long while. In the end, a terrifying Soul Power pressure exploded through the Pope Palace, instantly leaving Yue Guan and Gui Mei drenched in sweat.

Fortunately, Bibi Dong's outburst did not last long. After doing her best to calm herself, she said, "This matter ends here. I will send someone to retrieve his honorary elder token, but do not make these materials public. Seal them away."

"Th-that, Your Holiness... the order to revoke Yu Xiaogang's honorary elder status was issued by the Grand Elder. Someone has already gone to Notting City..." Yue Guan said cautiously.

Bibi Dong's expression shifted repeatedly at those words, but she ultimately said nothing. From that day onward, however, Bibi Dong was irritable for many days, ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Yue Guan and Gui Mei suffered greatly because of it.

Qin Heng knew nothing of all this. At the moment, his entire focus was on cultivation. After returning this time, Qin Heng knew that it would be difficult for him to leave Spirit Hall anytime soon. Fortunately, he had created a clone in advance.

Afterward, Qin Heng began cultivating diligently within Spirit Hall as well. His first priority remained the Heart Separation Control method.

Previously, Qin Heng's Heart Separation Control only allowed him to split off part of his consciousness. He could not constantly keep track of the knowledge his clone learned. Only after the clone dissipated and its consciousness returned could its knowledge and memories be shared with the main body.

His next goal was to control the clone in real time, see what it did, and learn knowledge simultaneously.

Achieving this was far more difficult than Heart Separation Control, so Qin Heng began to cultivate in earnest.

Meanwhile, the clone was working just as hard.

"Qin Heng" spent all day in the library, frantically studying the soul beasts and Martial Souls documented at Suotuo City Junior Soul Master Academy.

His goal was to thoroughly master all the knowledge of this junior Soul Master Academy within a year and a half to two years, while also creating his own mental-type Self-Created Soul Skill.

For the time being, he had two goals for his mental-type Self-Created Soul Skills: one was Mental Shock, and the other was Simulation.

Simulation did not merely change the color of Soul Rings. In fact, changing Soul Ring colors was only the most basic application. More importantly, it could alter one's own aura and even, through Simulation combined with Illusion Pupil, drag Soul Masters into an illusory realm.

Once those two goals were completed, "Qin Heng" would apply for graduation, go to an intermediate Soul Master Academy, and begin participating in Spirit Battles to hone his combat skills.

The main body only needed to focus on raising its Soul Power Level and obtaining suitable Soul Rings.

Qin Heng's main body and clone each performed their respective duties, doing what they needed to do as the days passed one after another.

Before he knew it, another month had hurried by.

The scene shifted to Notting City, where a middle-aged man with a dispirited bearing and a crew cut walked out of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy.

This was Yu Xiaogang, who had broken through to level 29 at the young age of fifty, summarized the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, and proposed that "there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters." He was truly a "useless master who insulted himself."

Yu Xiaogang had recently been riding high. Half a year ago, when Notting Junior Soul Master Academy began its term, he encountered Tang San being harassed by the gatekeeper at the school entrance. After helping him, he gained a genius disciple with Twin Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power.

This disciple was obedient and filial, the perfect proof of his Martial Soul theories. After his first Martial Soul obtained a Datura Snake Soul Ring of more than four hundred years, he not only gained the powerful Soul Skill [Blue Silver Entanglement], but also gave the Blue Silver Grass a poison attribute. Once someone was bound by Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, even a Soul Grandmaster would be poisoned into collapse.

Having trained the useless Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul into something so formidable, Yu Xiaogang was filled with accomplishment. Even his stride became steadier and more forceful.

Yu Xiaogang strolled leisurely through the city. Before long, he arrived at the entrance of Notting City's Spirit Hall. He was about to enter and collect this month's Soul Master subsidy, but his steps froze completely when he saw the notice posted at Spirit Hall's entrance.

The contents of the notice were simple. Spirit Hall's audit had discovered obvious plagiarism in the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul proposed by Yu Xiaogang. It also displayed comparisons between the original texts and Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.

Anyone with eyes could tell at a glance that Yu Xiaogang had completed his so-called work through plagiarism and patchwork.

At the end, it stated that Yu Xiaogang was being stripped of his status as an honorary elder of Spirit Hall. At the same time, because of his plagiarism, Spirit Hall would no longer accept any of his submissions and would cease issuing his Gold Soul Coin subsidy.

After his initial bewilderment, Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately turned bloodshot with rage, and he panted like a bull.

Although his surname was not Tang, he still displayed symptoms of Down syndrome at that moment.

"Slander! This is slander! Spirit Hall is slandering me!" Yu Xiaogang shouted as he charged into Notting City's Spirit Hall.

His appearance immediately drew the attention of the deacons inside and passing Soul Masters.

"Who is this guy?" one Soul Master asked.

"You don't know him? Didn't you graduate from Notting Junior Soul Master Academy?" his companion asked in return.

"What do you mean? Is he a teacher at the academy?"

"No, he's Yu Xiaogang, that guy who mooches off the academy and does nothing. Now Spirit Hall has exposed him for plagiarism too. What right does someone like that have to remain at the academy?"

"Damn, so he's Yu Xiaogang? I knew of him, but I'd never seen him. So this is what he looks like."

The man's cry of surprise immediately drew the gazes of all the Soul Masters present onto Yu Xiaogang.
