Tang Yuehua had every reason to suspect that Ye Mu had known the truth all along.

When everyone in the world believed it was Yu Xiaogang's theory.

Ye Mu had dismissed it with scorn.

Though he had not stated the answer outright, what difference was there from stating it outright?

There was no difference at all!

Ye Mu's actions had already made it clear that he knew the truth.

"How would I know about Spirit Hall's affairs?"

"But whether someone is full of it or not, can't you tell with one look?"

Ye Mu answered calmly.

Naturally, he knew all these things.

From Spirit Hall's founding to everything it had experienced up to the present.

He knew all of it!

As long as there was something in this world he wanted to know, nothing could escape his eyes.

Tang Yuehua fell into thought.

He could tell with a single glance?

Perhaps it was due to some special ability of Ye Mu's.

Or perhaps his insight was simply that sharp.

That he could see through the truth at a glance.

And know that Yu Xiaogang possessed no real talent.

Looking at it from another angle, it did seem understandable.

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

At such a level, how could he have high-level Soul Masters cooperate with his research?

Some of the research materials he had produced were accessible only to Title Douluo.

A level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster asking Title Douluo to cooperate?

What a joke!

That was simply impossible.

Even if he belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he could not make Title Douluo obediently cooperate.

Therefore, there was something suspicious about the source of his research materials.

"This Sky Screen is determined to expose Yu Xiaogang completely this time."

Ye Mu glanced at the Sky Screen Scroll.

At that moment, the Sky Screen Scroll seemed to have been enraged by Yu Xiaogang's words.

More images appeared.

Those images showed Yu Xiaogang's cultivation journey.

From his half-level Soul Power upon awakening, to his diligent cultivation that never brought him significant improvement.

Even his Martial Soul was utterly disgusting.

Once he reached level twenty-nine, he could no longer advance.

He had tried various methods, but he had never managed to break through.

The Sky Screen Scroll was so direct and decisive, as though it were proving something to the world.

Yu Xiaogang truly had no ability!

This confirmed the correct answer.

There were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters.

Everything he had gone through.

His entire cultivation process.

Seemed to prove that he really was useless.

Yu Xiaogang's face in the scroll had turned pale.

He had never imagined that the Sky Screen would expose all of his experiences.

Watching himself in the scroll cultivate desperately yet fail to break through level twenty-nine no matter what he did.

He was so furious that he nearly spat blood.

"Damn it, this is aimed at me!"

"Sky Screen!!!"

"I may be unable to break through, but what right do you have to expose me?"

Yu Xiaogang roared in a low voice.

But he had forgotten that he was currently inside the Sky Screen Scroll.

Every sound was transmitted clearly throughout the entire Douluo Continent.

Everyone could hear his voice.

Such remarks left people dumbfounded.

"This... the Sky Screen was only verifying the correct answer. What did he mean by that?"

"So those theories all came from Spirit Hall?"

"Using Spirit Hall's materials and claiming them as his own research results—how could he have the nerve?"

The common people did not care about all that.

From what they could see now.

Yu Xiaogang was a hypocritical man.

He had deceived the feelings of the former Saintess, Bibi Dong.

Then shamelessly claimed those theories as his own.

Someone like him deserved to be hanged and drowned in a pig cage!

Most of the Soul Master world shared the same attitude.

"He really is shameless!"

"I can't understand it. Bibi Dong had loved him so deeply back then, so why did he run away in the end?"

"Wasn't holding the Saintess close enough? She's the Pope now!"

"If it were me, I'd have worshipped Bibi Dong long ago. I'd be afraid of dropping her if I held her in my palm, afraid of melting her if I kept her in my mouth."

Ning Fengzhi, who was on his way to Blue Tyrant Academy, sighed helplessly.

"I never expected the truth to be this."

He had admired Yu Xiaogang's talent.

Because Yu Xiaogang had raised a prodigy like Tang San.

He truly had seemed like a capable man.

But Ning Fengzhi had never expected those abilities to have been stolen from Spirit Hall.

Sword Douluo beside him remained calm.

"Couldn't you have seen the clues long ago? Those theories were already known to all the major Soul Master factions."

"And he is only level twenty-nine."

With Sword Douluo putting it that way, Ning Fengzhi understood what had happened.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that Tang San had shocked him so greatly before.

Now that Yu Xiaogang had been exposed and Tang San had also lost his Hidden Weapon ability.

Was Blue Tyrant Academy still worth visiting?

He would definitely still go.

But he was going to settle an important matter.

His daughter, Ning Rongrong, was still at Blue Tyrant Academy.

If she continued following Yu Xiaogang and the others, she would likely be ridiculed.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would also become a disgrace.

Furthermore, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the other factions that had sent people to Blue Tyrant Academy.

Were now all reconsidering carefully.

They had previously believed Yu Xiaogang was talented and learned.

They had thought that at Blue Tyrant Academy, they might have a chance to obtain the correct answers.

And thus earn rewards.

Yet now, Yu Xiaogang's own answer had been wrong.

And Dai Mubai and Tang San's earlier answers had also been wrong.

Could Yu Xiaogang really help them obtain the correct answers?

That was hard to say!

They might as well consider seeking out other truly talented people.

Perhaps someone would know the Sky Screen's answers.

Inside Blue Tyrant Academy.

Flender finally came back to his senses after his shock.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang in the Sky Screen Scroll, his heart felt unbearably heavy.

Having been mocked by the Sky Screen before everyone, Yu Xiaogang was finished.

A wrong answer meant punishment!

Given the Sky Screen's severity, this punishment would definitely be a devastating blow to Yu Xiaogang.

"Boss Flender, Xiaogang, Xiaogang, he..."

Liu Erlong swayed unsteadily.

The Sky Screen had exposed Yu Xiaogang's past, filling her with heartache and despair.

They had finally gained a chance to defy fate and change their destiny.

Yet he had answered incorrectly.

She did not dare imagine how cruel this would be for Yu Xiaogang.

Could he endure such a blow?

In the future, could he still claim that the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul were theories he had researched himself?

Having lost those halos.

And his reputation.

Yu Xiaogang would likely be in unbearable agony.

Back then, he had run away, and she had not seen him for decades.

Now, would he find another place to hide and refuse to see anyone for the rest of his life?

Flender shook his head and said, "Don't think about that yet. Xiaogang... is mature and steady. He can withstand a blow."

In truth, he had already begun to harbor doubts about his close friend.

Had he trained an outstanding disciple?

No, that was not Yu Xiaogang's credit.

Perhaps he had played some part, but Tang San's strength had come through his own efforts.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill, Hidden Weapons, and so on.

Tang San had brought them with him when he transmigrated.

Thus, the one who had truly helped Tang San grow was not Yu Xiaogang.

In other words, Yu Xiaogang had not actually cultivated any outstanding talent even now.

As countless people entertained different thoughts, the Sky Screen's voice rang out once more.

[Answerer Yu Xiaogang gave an incorrect answer. The punishment is as follows...]
