Story: The Devoted Saintess and the Hypocritical Scumbag

"My Soul Power is already level fourteen."

"Oh? That fast?"

Old Riven was startled again.

Did an eight-hundred-year Spirit Ring directly provide that many levels of Soul Power?

Ye Mu smiled without answering. The Spirit Ring had raised his Soul Power to level thirteen, but after reading so many books today, he had officially advanced to level fourteen.

He was only one level away from meeting the academy's requirements!

He was not worried at all now.

The Soul Power boost from reading was terrifying. His cultivation speed was incredibly, incredibly fast.

Even transmigrators like Tang San could not catch up even if they rode a horse.

"Good lad, I knew I wasn't wrong about you. Work hard!"

"Oh, right. You don't need to worry about the academy anymore. At your pace, there definitely won't be any problems."

"When the time comes, I'll just bring them a certificate for you."

Old Riven said with a hearty laugh.

Ye Mu shook his head slightly. "I want to handle this matter myself. I want to prove myself in person."

"Fine, do as you like."

Old Riven left as he spoke, while Ye Mu closed the Library doors.

After reading for an entire day, his Soul Power had risen by one level.

Now it was time to go back, practice his writing properly, and write out the story of the devoted Saintess and the hypocritical scumbag.

Thinking of that story left him somewhat dissatisfied.

After returning to his residence, he spent an hour writing ancient poetry before opening the Wordless Heavenly Book and beginning to compose the story.

The Devoted Saintess and the Hypocritical Scumbag

[Long ago in Spirit City, the young Saintess Bibi Xi had been the brightest star.]

[Back then, she possessed extraordinary talent and was pursued by countless people.]

[Yet no matter how many pursued her, she never thought highly of any of them. She knew they had only come for her status!]

[One day, she encountered the man of her destiny in the Library, Yu Xiaogang!]

[Yu Xiaogang's talent went unrecognized. Though he had been born into nobility, his martial soul had mutated, leaving him with only half a level of Innate Soul Power.]

[He blamed Heaven and everyone else, believing fate had treated him unfairly. Yet his father still gave him vast resources, doing everything he could to help him grow.]

[However, Yu Xiaogang, who spent every day complaining about the heavens and lamenting his fate, was too hopeless. Eventually, he realized that if things continued this way, his clansmen's dissatisfaction would become overwhelming and might even affect his father.]

[He chose to leave home and came to Spirit City.]

[After gathering information for many days, he finally "ran into" Bibi Xi, then the Saintess, at the Library.]

[He conquered Bibi Xi with his talent and made her pity him with his melancholy demeanor.]

[As they spent more time together, Bibi Xi let down her guard around him and trusted him with all her heart.]

[Yu Xiaogang knew his chance had come, so he made a request: he wanted to enter the fourth and fifth floors of the Library. Those places stored Spirit Hall's confidential records!]

[Later, some things happened, and the two separated. But no matter what, Yu Xiaogang remained the most beautiful person in Bibi Xi's heart.]

[After their separation, the Saintess began having psychological problems.]

[Not long after leaving Bibi Xi, Yu Xiaogang got involved with another woman, Liu Longlong!]

[Liu Longlong had another identity: Yu Xiaogang's cousin!]

[In truth, Yu Xiaogang knew perfectly well that she was his cousin, yet he kept pretending not to know. He even held a wedding.]

[If Yu Xiaogang's father had not stopped them, the wedding might truly have gone through!]

[Yu Xiaogang wanted to marry Liu Longlong mainly because she also possessed a mutated martial soul, and he needed to study how she cultivated.]

[After fleeing the wedding venue, Yu Xiaogang came to a small city. Through his friendship with the academy's dean, he loafed around here, eating and drinking for free.]

[He called himself the Grandmaster, yet he was never willing to teach students. He claimed to have developed the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, but never publicly admitted that all that material had come from the Spirit Hall Library.]

[Thinking about it, that made sense. He was merely a Soul Grandmaster in his twenties. Why would so many Soul Masters cooperate with his research?]

[After muddling through many years at the academy, he finally encountered the disciple of his destiny, Tang Xiaochui...]

Ye Mu wrote nearly a hundred thousand words in one go, completely immersed in it.

He kept writing until the Soul Master Tournament ended.

He added quite a few of his own insights along the way.

There had been enormous plot holes in the original story of the two of them.

If Yu Xiaogang had truly been so upright and of such noble character, why had he never publicly declared that his materials came from the Spirit Hall Library?

The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul were, bluntly speaking, just a summary.

Many of the so-called theories within were already common knowledge among high-level Soul Masters.

Everyone knew those theories; they just had never taken them seriously, nor had anyone summarized them.

If someone summarized them first, then that person could become the Grandmaster first.

Perhaps no one had summarized them because they were embarrassed to.

After all, everyone already knew those theories. How could anyone shamelessly claim credit for them?

After he finished writing, the golden patterns on the Wordless Heavenly Book seemed even brighter, racing forward on the path of evolution.

When he finished, Storybook updates appeared in real time throughout Douluo Continent.

For many people, following updates at night had already become a habit.

[Pink Rabbit: 'This update is so huge? Reading it now!']

[Glazed Baby: 'Wuwu~ The author is so amazing, there's so much! Following updates, following updates!']

[Angel Without Parents: 'Does reading take that long? Hehe~ I'm already done. @Spider Emperor Douluo, you're blind in both eyes and heart. You don't deserve to be a mother!']

[Spider Emperor Douluo: 'Shut up! I'll deal with you after I finish reading!']

Bibi Dong's state of mind exploded.

She had just been about to follow the update when someone suddenly mocked her. How could she possibly endure that?

But this update was not the story of Hammer King and Beast King.

It was something called The Devoted Saintess and the Hypocritical Scumbag?

It felt rather strange.

The moment she opened it and began reading, her expression changed drastically.

Bibi Xi? Yu Xiaogang?

Without a doubt, this was about her and Yu Xiaogang.

The Storybook's author actually knew?

And even knew about what had happened before!

Although aliases had been used, too many of the events—even the details—were complete.

It simply did not mention the matter of Qian Xunji violating her.

Perhaps that had been deliberate.

This content confirmed her suspicions: the Storybook's contents were real.

Even those things she had yet to experience might happen in the future.

Now she was somewhat curious about what would happen later between herself and Yu Xiaogang.

Would they have a happy ending?

Yet as she continued reading, her mentality was about to explode.

Soul Power surged, and the nine Spirit Rings beneath her could not help but appear as she gritted her teeth.

Slander!

It was absolutely slander!

How could Yu Xiaogang possibly be that kind of person?

[Angel Without Parents: '@Spider Emperor Douluo, why aren't you talking? Did your mentality explode?']

[Angel Without Parents: 'Say something already. Otherwise, why don't you cry for me?']

[Little Fox: 'Trembling in fear. I-I'm going to cultivate. I really wasn't snooping!']

[Spider Emperor Douluo: '@Angel Without Parents, if you have the guts, come back right now!']

[Angel Without Parents: 'Hehe~ Nope!']

The moment Bibi Dong saw that, her mentality truly exploded.

Had this child lost all sense of propriety?

She actually dared defy her!

[Spider Emperor Douluo: '@Little Fox, come to the main hall!']

Hu Liena: "!!!"

What the heck?

She had to go to the main hall again?

Sure enough, she should never have commented. This was truly suffering for nothing.

Now that she knew some of her teacher's secrets, she would not be silenced, would she?
