Yu Xiaogang felt like he was about to go mad.

This was clearly a theory he had proposed himself, so why was it judged incorrect?

This was his perfect opportunity for Martial Soul Evolution.

If he missed this chance, it was hard to say whether he would ever be selected as an answerer again.

After all, so many people had signed up. The odds were simply far too low.

He had to argue his case and fight for his own interests!

Yet the Sky Screen ignored him and continued with the process.

[The answerer answered incorrectly. The correct option will now be revealed!]

[Correct option: 1. There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless soul masters!]

The correct answer was actually only the first statement?

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded, and the entire continent was bewildered as well.

Something was wrong!

The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul proposed by Yu Xiaogang clearly included the first five options.

How could only the first one be correct?

"It really is rigged!"

"The Grandmaster's theories are all written down in black and white. Could it be that the Sky Screen doesn't know about them and is just fooling us?"

"Don't talk nonsense. That is the work of a god—how could it possibly be wrong?"

"So what exactly is going on? It has to give us an explanation, right?"

The people whose mindsets had collapsed the most were those from Blue Tyrant Academy.

As well as those who had wanted Yu Xiaogang's help.

For example, the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, the Star Luo Empire's royal family, Ning Fengzhi, and others.

They had all believed Yu Xiaogang was exceptionally learned and would surely know the correct answer.

But what was this supposed to mean now?

If the Sky Screen's judgment was correct, then there was a problem with the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul!

Looking carefully at the question, one could actually spot a few issues.

What exactly had the question asked?

Which theory had been researched and put into practice by Yu Xiaogang?

Put into practice!

That was the key point!

Looking over the other theories, it seemed Yu Xiaogang had not had much opportunity to put them into practice at all!

After all, Yu Xiaogang was merely a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster.

Yet he had indeed proposed those theories and even compiled them into a book!

Perhaps only the Sky Screen's next explanation could reveal what exactly was going on.

The Sky Screen had never disappointed anyone.

Since it had announced the correct answer, it would naturally explain the reason.

Everyone looked toward the Sky Screen Scroll.

Several images had already appeared within the scroll.

The images showed Yu Xiaogang in his younger days.

The setting where he stood was unmistakably Spirit City!

And it was the Central Library of Spirit Hall!

Inside the Central Library, Yu Xiaogang stood together with another woman.

Some people recognized that woman.

She was none other than the current Pope, Bibi Dong—the former Spirit Hall Saintess.

Yu Xiaogang had actually been lovers with the former Saintess?

What was even more unbelievable was Yu Xiaogang's manner before Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong was actually the weaker one, even going so far as to try to please him.

So women who fell in love really did lose their minds?

In the image, Yu Xiaogang casually brought up his wish to go to the upper levels and look through other materials.

But because he was not one of Spirit Hall's higher-ups and had not received permission,

he had no way of going upstairs.

As for that matter, Bibi Dong directly led him up.

As the Saintess, naturally no one would stop her.

The following scenes showed Yu Xiaogang browsing through a great deal of material in the library.

He even got his hands on highly confidential records.

The Sky Screen's view zoomed in, making it possible to clearly see that the materials he was reading were precisely the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul!

By this point, everyone had basically understood.

Yu Xiaogang had bragged to the outside world that those were theories he had researched himself.

But according to the Sky Screen's revelation, the materials had clearly come from Spirit Hall's library.

He was not the researcher.

Nor had he gathered the materials himself.

At most, he was an organizer.

He had compiled the materials from Spirit Hall's library, formed them into the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, and then publicly announced that they were materials he had researched himself.

These scenes left the entire continent stunned.

Yu Yuanzhen's expression turned extremely ugly.

He immediately ordered the convoy to stop.

"That idiot! Those materials actually came from Spirit Hall's library?"

He was so furious his lungs were about to explode.

His own son had actually become a man living off a woman?

And those scenes had revealed another issue.

Yu Xiaogang was pretentious and sinister.

Every so often, he brought up his Martial Soul mutation and even claimed his clan had abandoned him because of it.

He played the victim in every possible way!

In the end, Bibi Dong had still been a young girl at the time and had been fooled all at once.

In other words, Yu Xiaogang had toyed with Bibi Dong's feelings.

Even his meeting with Bibi Dong had been a calculated scheme.

Having lived for so many years, how could Yu Yuanzhen fail to see through all this?

"Clan Head, are we still going to Blue Tyrant Academy?"

The clan elder looked embarrassed.

Yu Xiaogang had been exposed like this by the Sky Screen.

To be honest, it was utterly humiliating.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had lost all its face.

"Go? What would we go there for?"

"So the whole world can laugh at us?"

"I thought that brat truly had talent, but... hmph! Return to the clan!"

Yu Yuanzhen gave a heavy snort and decisively ordered their return.

With something like this happening,

even if Yu Xiaogang really had read many books and memorized a great deal of knowledge,

as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's head, Yu Yuanzhen had no face left to go see him.

He did not want others pointing fingers behind his back.

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Yu Tianheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he watched this.

He recalled how he had once respected this uncle of his quite a bit.

But now...

How embarrassing.

Meanwhile, at Blue Tyrant Academy,

many people were completely dumbstruck after seeing the scenes revealed by the Sky Screen.

Flender's glasses fell off.

"Xiaogang, Xiaogang, he actually, actually was..."

He knew Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had once been lovers.

But he had never imagined that Yu Xiaogang had deliberately approached Bibi Dong.

What had it been for?

The materials in the Central Library!

For those materials, he had toyed with Bibi Dong's feelings.

Anyone with a sense of justice would despise such conduct.

He had once believed Yu Xiaogang was truly a man of great talent.

Yu Xiaogang had been able to research such theories and had repeatedly told Flender that he had developed them himself.

And this was the truth?

At that moment, Flender realized that perhaps he had never truly known his close friend.

Beside him, Zhao Wuji scratched his head in confusion. "So the Grandmaster deceived Bibi Dong and deliberately approached her? That's too shameless, isn't it?"

"Zhao Wuji!"

Liu Erlong turned and glared at him furiously.

No matter what had happened between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong,

Yu Xiaogang was still the man she loved!

So what if he had used Spirit Hall's materials?

The fact that he could compile those materials proved his ability!

But Ma Hongjun and the others found it hard to understand.

They could tell that Bibi Dong had genuinely poured her feelings into it back then.

She had truly wanted to be with Yu Xiaogang.

Sadly, from beginning to end, it had all been a scam.

Inside a private room at Moonlight Pavilion, Xue Ke's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets in shock.

"The Pope and Yu Xiaogang actually had such a past?"

Tang Yuehua frowned tightly and said, "To be fair, Yu Xiaogang is utterly heartless! Mr. Ye, did you already know about this?"

There was reason to suspect that Ye Mu had known about it all along.

That was why he had been so disdainful of Yu Xiaogang.

So what exactly was his identity?
