A few hours later, as the sky grew dim, Bibi Dong's complexion regained a hint of rosiness. She paused her cultivation and opened her eyes, only to see Yu Xiaogang beside her, completely absorbed in his theoretical research and oblivious to the world around him. Her gaze turned incredibly tender.

It was precisely this passion for research, this focus, and his wisdom and talent in theory that had drawn her in, causing her to fall deeply in love with Yu Xiaogang.

"Xiaogang."

Yu Xiaogang snapped back to reality, turned his head, and asked with concern, "Dong'er, how are you? Is your body feeling better?"

Bibi Dong nodded. "Much better."

Yu Xiaogang gripped his thigh, his expression filled with intense fury. "Dong'er, it's all my fault. My martial soul is flawed, leaving me unable to break through as a Soul Grand Master for the rest of my life. If not for that, you wouldn't have suffered so much! That heartless, unrighteous wretch Qian Xunji—he actually forced you to cripple your second martial soul!"

A few days ago, when Yu Xiaogang learned that Bibi Dong had brought Hu Liena to Nuoding Academy to find him, he was initially incredulous. After meeting her, he learned from Bibi Dong that she had severed ties with Martial Soul Hall at the cost of self-crippling her second martial soul.

Regarding this slightly fabricated story from Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang believed it immediately.

Years ago, Bibi Dong had been sweet and affectionate one day, planning to elope with him and leave Martial Soul Hall, only to turn cold and indifferent the next, claiming he wasn't good enough for her and telling him to get lost.

Over the years, Yu Xiaogang had long suspected there was something fishy about it; her sudden 180-degree change in attitude was likely due to coercion from Qian Xunji.

Therefore, hearing Bibi Dong's sincere words, how could he not believe her? Learning that she was willing to pay such a heavy price—crippling her second martial soul—just to find him, he felt both moved and enraged. The two quickly reconciled.

As for the humiliation she suffered and the matter of their daughter, Bibi Dong did not tell Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong hurriedly said, "Xiaogang, you cannot blame yourself. It is all Martial Soul Hall's fault—Qian Xunji is filthy, shameless, and no better than a beast."

Yu Xiaogang replied, "That's right, Dong'er. Martial Soul Hall caused us to be separated for over a decade and crippled your second martial soul, severely damaging your talent. If I, Yu Xiaogang, do not avenge this, I am not a man!"

"From this moment on, I, Yu Xiaogang, will spare no cost to destroy Martial Soul Hall!"

After Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong vented for a while, Bibi Dong faced reality. "Xiaogang, my second martial soul is crippled and my talent is damaged. Even if I could reach the 99th-level Limit Douluo again, the Six-Winged Angel has a restraining effect on my Death Spider Emperor martial soul. I fear I would still be no match for Qian Daoliu."

"If only I could initiate the Rakshasa God trials and embark on the path to godhood. Unfortunately, having left Martial Soul Hall, it was already difficult to kill Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu, and now it has become even harder."

Yu Xiaogang was stunned. "Dong'er, what is the Rakshasa God trial?"

Bibi Dong trusted Yu Xiaogang implicitly and told him everything about the Rakshasa God trials, the path to becoming a god at level 100, and the requirement to devour the angel soul of a Six-Winged Angel martial soul user.

"Dong'er, you were actually chosen by a god! In terms of talent, you are even superior to Tang Hao!"

Yu Xiaogang was filled with surprise, a deep sense of pride rising within him. A woman capable of becoming a god was his lover; he, Yu Xiaogang, was no failure!

Immediately after, a look of dejection appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. Killing Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu was an immense challenge; even his idol, Tang Hao, had failed to do so, and Tang Hao possessed the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one tool martial soul on the continent.

Yu Xiaogang believed Bibi Dong's talent surpassed Tang Hao's, but she only had one martial soul left. He assumed the Death Spider Emperor would be no match for the Clear Sky Hammer, meaning that at the same level, Bibi Dong would be no match for Tang Hao.

If Tang Hao couldn't take down Qian Xunji, it was even less likely for Bibi Dong to do so in a head-on fight.

A flash of wisdom crossed Yu Xiaogang's eyes. "Dong'er, we have plenty of time. If one person isn't enough to oppose Martial Soul Hall, then two will do; if two aren't enough, then three. I have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind me. Furthermore, we can cultivate geniuses."

"That girl Nana has excellent talent and possesses a rare spirit attribute. I believe that under my theoretical guidance, that child will eventually achieve heights that rival Tang Hao."

"I believe in you, Xiaogang. Sooner or later, we will destroy Martial Soul Hall and uproot the Qian family, the Angel Clan—that hypocritical, filthy, disgusting family that is no better than beasts!"

After finishing dinner at the Nuoding Academy cafeteria, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang returned to their respective dormitories; the two did not live together.

Bibi Dong felt her body was tainted and could not bring herself to touch the pure Yu Xiaogang, lest she make him dirty as well. For her, being spiritual companions for now was enough.

Moreover, she worried that the beast Qian Xunji might have people secretly watching the area. If she and Yu Xiaogang were to do anything, and that perverted beast found out, he might descend upon Nuoding Academy and kill Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang shared the same concern. After all, Bibi Dong was the former Saintess of Martial Soul Hall, and he was aware of the ten Title Douluo in Martial Soul Hall. If they used him as an excuse, Martial Soul Hall could easily flatten the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

If he were the cause of the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, his father, his clansmen, and his brothers and sisters, ruining centuries of ancestral heritage, then he, Yu Xiaogang, would be guilty of a crime that death could not atone for.

Star Dou Great Forest, Life Lake.

"Big Sister Xiao Wu, are you truly ready?"

The Titan Giant Ape asked, his face full of reluctance and worry. His Big Sister Xiao Wu was going to transform. This meant that in six years, when she awakened her martial soul and needed to cultivate, she would have to go to the human world and interact with humans, leaving him, a lone gorilla, at the Life Lake.

Deep hatred filled Xiao Wu's eyes. "Er Ming, I must transform. Mother was taken away, Da Ming was killed, and the Beast God sat by and watched as the spirit bones of Mother and Da Ming were taken away by the people of Martial Soul Hall. He is completely unreliable; he will not avenge us."

"If we stay here, sooner or later we will be killed by Martial Soul Hall one by one, just like Da Ming. Only by transforming into a human and cultivating to become a god can we live securely! I must find Mother and avenge Da Ming!"

Ever since Ah Rou was taken away and the Sky Azure Bull Python died, the Titan Giant Ape had looked to Xiao Wu as his leader. Seeing the logic in her words, his simple mind agreed. "Then, Big Sister Xiao Wu, transform! I believe you will definitely be able to cultivate to godhood."

Xiao Wu closed her eyes and transformed into a ball of pink light. Within the light, a pink silhouette gradually emerged.

Xiao Wu began to shape her face and figure, using the human image of her mother, Ah Rou, as a reference. If Ah Rou's style was that of a mature woman, Xiao Wu's overall style and temperament leaned toward that of a lively and cute young girl, with long hair reaching her feet.

She had not forgotten what Ah Rou said: a girl's hair should only be groomed by her beloved. She would go to the human world to cultivate hard, seek revenge, and perhaps find a sweet romance.
