Chapter 5: Yu Xiaogang Pretends to Faint - Douluo: How Did My Simulation Become a Comparison Video?

Yu Xiaogang was seething with rage when he suddenly heard a snicker beside him. Though the laugh was quiet, it was like a needle stabbing viciously into his already sensitive, fragile nerves.

Yu Xiaogang whipped his head around and found Ma Hongjun grinning from ear to ear.

"Hongjun!"

Seeing this, Flender immediately put on a stern face and barked a reprimand, trying to preserve his old friend's dignity.

Ma Hongjun hurriedly covered his mouth and held it in with all his might, but his shoulders still shook.

In the end, he could not hold it back. With a snort, he burst out laughing.

"Sorry, Dean, I... I really couldn't help it!"

His loss of control immediately triggered a chain reaction.

Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others, who had barely managed to keep straight faces, also broke down and burst into laughter.

The same scene played out within the Pope's Palace in Spirit City.

Watching the Sky Screen, Hu Liena could not hold it in and laughed on the spot.

"Hahaha, this Yu Xiaogang is way too ridiculous! He was acting so high and mighty earlier, looking down on everyone else, but he actually awakened a pig?"

Before she could finish, however, an icy chill swept over her from behind. Hu Liena instinctively turned around and met Bibi Dong's eyes, brimming with frigid killing intent.

In an instant, Hu Liena felt as though she had fallen into an ice pit. Her smile froze on her face, and she did not dare make another sound.

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the Sky Screen, where Yu Xiaogang was being wildly mocked by his clansmen and the barrage comments. Her originally beautiful face twisted slightly with extreme fury.

"Damn it! How dare they humiliate my Xiao Gang like this!"

Bibi Dong roared inwardly.

"Once this damned Sky Screen ends, I'll drag out every single person posting those comments and grind their bones to dust!"

If Bibi Dong was like this, then Liu Erlong was even worse. Her eyes were bloodshot as she frantically sent barrage comments across the Sky Screen.


[Liu Erlong: Enough! All of you, shut up! Is what kind of spirit one awakens something Xiao Gang can control?]

[Liu Erlong: Xiao Gang has always excelled in knowledge and wisdom! Didn't even this Sky Screen acknowledge his title as a "theory Grandmaster"?!]

Seeing Liu Erlong's defense, some Soul Masters across the Douluo Continent could not help but pause. It seemed to make some sense. Awakening a useless spirit was entirely up to fate, and mocking someone over that alone did seem rather cruel.

However, Dugu Yan, who was at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, sneered and sent a barrage comment with a face full of disdain.


[Dugu Yan: What you're saying is ridiculous! It's true that no one can control what spirit they awaken. If it were an ordinary person, naturally we wouldn't mock him.]

[Dugu Yan: But open your eyes and look at Yu Xiaogang's attitude before this! Relying on his status as the clan leader's son, he strutted around with his nose in the air every day, looked down on his fellow clansmen, and did not even respect Soul Sage elders! He was so arrogant and conceited, yet he awakened a pig. Why can't we mock him?]

As soon as those comments appeared, the Soul Masters across the continent suddenly came to their senses.

Exactly! They were not mocking Yu Xiaogang because his spirit was useless. They were mocking him because his previous self-righteous arrogance and defiance stood in such an ironically stark contrast to his current ridiculous, miserable state!

For a time, the barrage comments that had just quieted down erupted once more, all condemning Yu Xiaogang.

Seeing Dugu Yan's questioning, Liu Erlong was also stunned. For a brief moment, a thought even flashed through her mind: Perhaps... Xiao Gang's attitude really had been too arrogant before?

But that thought existed for only an instant before being completely wiped away.


[Liu Erlong: You don't understand Xiao Gang at all! As the young clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he naturally had to maintain the dignity he deserved. Did you expect him to flatter everyone?]

[Yu Luomian: Enough! Erlong, shut up! Stop making a disgrace of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!]

At last, Yu Luomian, far away in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, could no longer hold back and sent a barrage comment.

Seeing his biological daughter still wholeheartedly defending that good-for-nothing, Yu Luomian trembled with rage and wished he could rush over right now and chop Yu Xiaogang alive.

Just as barrage comments flew wildly across the Sky Screen and the argument raged on, the footage continued.


[Yu Xiaogang sensed the same Soul Power aura coming from the Piglet beside him, and his eyes filled with disbelief as he muttered repeatedly, "How is this possible? How is this possible? Shouldn't my spirit be the number one beast spirit in the world, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? What is this thing?"]

[On the high platform, the smile on Yu Yuanzhen's face had frozen. He had never imagined that the son he had always placed such high hopes on would awaken such a spirit.]

[Qian Xunji could not help but laugh. "Your son's awakened spirit truly is unique!"]

[Hearing Qian Xunji's mockery, Yu Yuanzhen's expression grew even uglier.]

[In the square, the clan elder in charge of spirit awakening looked at Yu Xiaogang with undisguised glee. He had often tried to curry favor with Yu Xiaogang in the past, but Yu Xiaogang had always responded with a contemptuous expression. How could that not anger him? Yet Yu Xiaogang was the clan leader's son, so he had not dared say anything.]

[Now that Yu Xiaogang had awakened such a Pig Spirit, he felt that all the resentment he had suffered in the past had vanished. He immediately said, "Come test your Innate Soul Power!"]

[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately came back to his senses, and a trace of hope flashed through his eyes again. "Maybe my spirit only looks unimpressive, but is actually an extraordinarily rare peerless spirit. After all, no one has ever heard of a detached beast spirit like this before!"]

[The more Yu Xiaogang thought about it, the more excited he became. His expression gradually changed from panic, embarrassment, and helplessness back into its former arrogant look. Without another word, he placed his hand on the Soul Power testing crystal ball.]

[The next instant, a faint glimmer lit up within the crystal ball. If the clan elder had not been standing so close and looking carefully, he might not even have seen that trace of light.]

[At that moment, the clan elder only wanted to laugh aloud. But with Yu Yuanzhen watching from above, he ultimately did not dare act out. Still, he played a little trick, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Innate Soul Power: half a level!"]

[The square fell silent for a brief moment.]

[Then, with a snort, someone in the crowd was the first to lose control and laugh.]

[That laughter seemed to flip some kind of switch. In an instant, the entire square erupted in jeering laughter.]

[Listening to the mockery around him, Yu Xiaogang's entire body trembled uncontrollably. Every one of his fantasies had been utterly shattered by this Innate Soul Power test.]

[Yet even at such a moment, Yu Xiaogang still could not believe that he had truly awakened a Piglet and possessed only half a level of Innate Soul Power. "How could this happen? It's fake, it must be fake. That's right, I'm still dreaming!"]

[Clinging to his final shred of hope, Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and slapped himself across the face.]

[Slap!]

[With the crisp sound of the slap, a burning pain spread across Yu Xiaogang's cheek. Seeing that he had made a fool of himself once more and had become a complete clown, Yu Xiaogang simply shut his eyes, fell stiffly to the ground, and chose to pretend to faint, acting as though none of this had happened!]

[Shui Yue'er: Hahaha! I can't take it anymore! This Yu Xiaogang is way too funny, isn't he? He couldn't handle the blow and actually pretended to faint on the spot?]

[Tai Long: He only has half a level of Innate Soul Power? This Grandmaster's spirit really is that Piglet!]

Shrek Academy training ground.

Yu Xiaogang's face was deathly pale. Looking at himself pretending to faint and making a fool of himself on the Sky Screen, then at the barrage comments filling the screen with mockery, he wished he could also pretend to faint like his counterpart in the footage.

But the restraints on him made it impossible for him to pretend to faint.

Yu Xiaogang could only stand where he was, forced to remain awake as he listened to Ma Hongjun and the others' suppressed snickering, along with all the mockery in the barrage comments.

At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing, who had remained silent the entire time, suddenly spoke.

"Dean Flender, forgive my bluntness. This Grandmaster probably... is not qualified to be our teacher at all!"
