Theory Grandmaster vs. Ancestor of Immortal Dao

As they listened to the Sky Screen announce the rules and rewards, the entire Douluo Continent instantly erupted!

On Shrek Academy's training grounds, Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted. But having lived two lives, he was highly adaptable. After his brief shock, he began calculating what benefits the Sky Screen could bring him.

Beside him, Ma Hongjun viciously slapped himself twice. The pain in his face confirmed that this was not a dream, and he cried out in disbelief, "Teacher! Is what that thing in the sky said true? Martial Soul Evolution... it can even bring back the dead?!"

"Such power can only be explained as a divine miracle. It should be real!" Flender took a deep breath, but a flicker of anticipation crossed his eyes. "Since parallel worlds exist... does that mean I successfully won Liu Erlong over in another world?"

At that moment, no one was more excited than Yu Xiaogang.

He stared fixedly at the four words "Martial Soul Evolution" on the Sky Screen. His face had turned liver-red from extreme excitement, and his heart was filled with wild joy.

"Hahaha! I knew it! I knew it! I, Yu Xiaogang, am blessed by fate! First, I took Xiao San as my disciple, and now the Sky Screen rewards have arrived!"

"This was practically tailor-made for me! Once I obtain the Martial Soul Evolution reward and break through Rank 30, let's see who on this continent still dares call me trash!"

Just as billions across the continent harbored their own thoughts—some shocked, some frenzied—

The golden words on the Sky Screen changed once more. Accompanied by a blinding flash, the Sky Screen split in two, and clear images emerged.

[The first comparison officially begins.]

[Comparison candidates selected—]

[Left, World 1: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Soul Master world's "Theory Grandmaster," Yu Xiaogang!]

[Right, World 2: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang's twin brother, Ancestor of Immortal Dao, Yu Chen!]

The instant these two lines of text settled into place, the entire Douluo Continent fell into deathly silence.

Yu Xiaogang could no longer suppress his delight and burst into loud laughter.

"Hahaha! I knew there was nothing wrong with my theories! Even a miracle like this has acknowledged my identity as a Theory Grandmaster. Let's see who still dares say I plagiarized anything!"

He paid no attention at all to the quotation marks around "Theory Grandmaster," nor to Yu Chen from the other world.

In his eyes, what kind of bullshit Ancestor of Immortal Dao was that? He had never even heard of it! On the Douluo Continent, there was only one path: Martial Soul cultivation!

Yu Xiaogang believed that his theoretical research on this path had already reached its peak. No one could surpass him. If someone in another world had experienced something similar to him, then that person certainly could not compare to him. For all he knew, he was probably still mooching around the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and waiting to die!

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong stared intently at the Sky Screen in the sky, which ignored all obstacles, and a storm surged through her heart.

"To freeze time across the entire continent in an instant... even the Rakshasa God position I am inheriting is far inferior to such power! This is true divine power!"

As Bibi Dong's mind reeled, Hu Liena below could not help speaking up. "Teacher, there really are other worlds. Tell me, what do you think I would be like in another world?"

The instant she heard those words, Bibi Dong was dazed for a moment. Her thoughts involuntarily shifted from the Sky Screen's power to one of the people being compared—Yu Xiaogang!

"Another world..." Bibi Dong's gaze became incomparably complicated. A rare trace of complex emotion appeared on her cold, beautiful face, mixed with expectation.

If parallel worlds truly existed, then perhaps she and Xiao Gang were already living happily together there?

But immediately afterward, intense jealousy and resentment flooded her heart. The thought that another version of herself might possess the happiness she could never attain in this lifetime drove her mad with jealousy!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, main hall.

Clang—

Sword Douluo Chen Xin erupted with Soul Power, trying to break free of the restraint. Yet even after exerting all his strength, he could not move an inch.

"No, Fengzhi." In the end, Chen Xin gave up struggling and sighed helplessly. "This power completely surpasses a Title Douluo. It is simply not something human strength can resist."

Instead, Ning Fengzhi let out a long breath of relief upon hearing Chen Xin's words.

The moment he had been frozen in place, he had thought Spirit Hall was attacking and feared that someone intended to strike the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Now, it seemed this truly was a divine miracle.

"Old swordsman, do you think Fengzhi has already broken the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limits and become a Nine Treasure Pagoda in another world?" Bone Douluo Gu Rong could not resist teasing him.

"Bullshit! You old bag of bones, can't you speak properly?" Chen Xin shot him a glare. "Why think about such vague nonsense? Once this video is over, wouldn't it be more practical for Fengzhi to directly draw the Martial Soul Evolution reward?"

Watching the two Title Douluo continue bickering despite their immobilized bodies, Ning Fengzhi could not help chuckling. Yet his gaze remained locked on the Sky Screen's description of the rewards, his eyes filled with irrepressible longing.

Breaking the shackles of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had always been the long-cherished wish of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As long as it could be achieved, he would pay any price without hesitation!

After a long while, beneath the expectant or shocked gazes of billions of living beings across the continent, densely packed text suddenly began scrolling along the right edge of the Sky Screen.

[Shui Yue'er]: Wow! These comments can really be sent out! But... I can barely understand "Theory Grandmaster," yet what kind of title is "Ancestor of Immortal Dao"? It sounds so imposing! Does anyone know him?

[Shui Bing'er]: Yue'er! Shut up, don't talk nonsense!

[Passerby A]: Immortal Dao? Never heard of it. The only Soul Masters in our village awakened hoes. What kind of Martial Soul is Immortal Dao?

[Passerby B]: Um... forgive me for asking, but who exactly is this "Theory Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang"? Is he famous? I've been in the Soul Master world for over a decade, so why have I never heard of him? Could he be some reclusive Title Douluo?

As the comments drifted across the Sky Screen, the atmosphere on Shrek Academy's training grounds instantly became rather strange.

Yu Xiaogang's smug old face abruptly froze, and the corner of his eye twitched violently. That line, "never heard of him," was like a resounding slap across his face.

But Yu Xiaogang quickly steadied himself. In his eyes, a group of ordinary Soul Masters simply did not deserve to know his name.

Yet Yu Xiaogang did not know that his past theories and the title of Grandmaster were regarded as a joke by every moderately powerful faction. They merely refrained from saying so out of respect for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and could only ridicule him through comments every day!
