Exposing Yu Xiaogang

(Weekend bonus update, please read and vote!)

"Qian Daoliu, what exactly do you want to do!"

Bibi Dong said word by word through gritted teeth.

She thought Qian Daoliu was up to something.

Lin Huai spoke in time:

"It has nothing to do with my teacher. You just need to answer me."

Bibi Dong saw that this damned thing actually dared to smile at her.

So angry she wanted to laugh, she said coldly:

"Tell me what's wrong with Xiao Gang's theory. If you can't convince me, even if you are Qian Daoliu's disciple, I will kill you!"

Lin Huai sighed inwardly, he had already said it, and she still wanted a detailed explanation.

What a brainless lunatic.

But that saying was good, 'Hysteria is collapse, and selecting silk in the field is delicious!' (A double entendre, did you all understand?)

"His theory begins with two core viewpoints. First, there are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters; second, innate soul power is directly proportional to the strength of the martial soul."

"The most obvious argument for the first is himself, a pig-like martial soul with innate level 0.5 soul power, who has not yet broken through to Soul Grand Master. Does the Pope think he is trash, or is his theory wrong?" (See Author's Notes)

Lin Huai paused, signaling Bibi Dong to refute.

"You're talking nonsense!"

"Xiao Gang clearly meant that even if the martial soul is not good, as long as the soul master is willing to cultivate diligently, they can still break through the talent bottleneck."

"Okay, let's assume he hasn't studied culture and his semantic expression is unclear.

Let's look at his second core viewpoint."

Bibi Dong quickly said:

"What's wrong with the second one?"

"This is a conclusion that everyone has recognized."

Brat, you're finished now, let's see if I don't deal with you later!

Noticing Bibi Dong's somewhat smug eyes, Lin Huai sarcastically said:

"I take back my previous praise for your memory."

"Please, Your Holiness, pick up a pen and write down what I say. I'm afraid you won't find it and will complain to me again."

"In the library, on the first floor, in bookcase number twenty-one, counting from the bottom up, there is a rubbing of an ancient book from a thousand years ago. In it, Master Tang formally proposed that the higher the innate soul power, the stronger the martial soul. On the third floor, in bookcase number three, the sixth row, there is an autobiography of a Soul Ancestor named Taifei. The first sentence is 'Indeed, the higher the innate soul power, the more powerful the martial soul! This Soul Ancestor was from over two thousand years ago.'"

Ignoring Bibi Dong's increasingly dark expression.

Lin Huai continued to speak.

"So, does Your Holiness think Yu Gang has lived for thousands of years, or did he travel back a thousand years to promote his theory and then return?"

"You became Pope from a Saintess, are you truly stupid, or are you lowering yourself to cater to that scumbag?"

Bibi Dong's face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

Her tone carried a sense of madness.

"Xiao Gang wasn't like that!"

"At least he told the commoners the limit of absorbing soul rings, allowing them to absorb soul rings of higher ages as much as possible!"

Lin Huai pondered in his mind.

She didn't refute my words. It seems Bibi Dong still knows that Yu Gang's theory has problems, but the Rakshasa's divine sense is affecting her thinking.

Seeing that Lin Huai didn't speak, Bibi Dong continued to pour out her anger.

"How can a brat like you understand Xiao Gang? He let common soul masters know knowledge that has been blocked by various forces!"

Oh, you're getting addicted?

"Then abdicate."

"Anyway, this position of Pope is not indispensable for you; others can also do it."

Bibi Dong slapped the table and stood up, her expression turning frantic.

"On what grounds! You're just guilty. Qian Daoliu, look at your 'good disciple'."

"I said not to bring my teacher into this. Look, you can't even agree with what you just said."

"Similarly, why should the knowledge of my Martial Soul Hall be promoted by him? Are all our scholars dead?"

Lin Huai looked at Bibi Dong's trembling shoulders, which caused her two watermelons to rise and fall together.

So fierce, so fierce.

"Moreover, doesn't the color of your soul rings prove that his theory is not comprehensive?"

"The library's compilation clearly states that absorbing soul rings should be done within one's capabilities."

"You can't even copy correctly!"

Lin Huai took out Yu Gang's book and tossed it onto the floor.

"Do I need to explain the origins and flaws of these later theories to the Pope one by one?"

"It's only because his old man is barely passable; if that old dragon of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon were to die..."

"He would have been killed by other factions long ago!"

Bibi Dong slowly slumped back into the Pope's chair.

"Speak, what do you want?"

Lin Huai wore a smile.

"I just want the Pope to see the true nature of Yu Gang and stop deceiving yourself."

"I read in a book once that when you desperately want something but can never obtain it, you will involuntarily keep beautifying it, which only makes you want it more."

"In reality, that thing might just be trash!"

Seeing that Bibi Dong still didn't have much of a reaction, Lin Huai sprinkled some more salt on the wound.

"You should know that not even a year after he left you, he was already with his own cousin and nearly married her, too."

"As for his 'righteousness,' just find a soul master with average talent, an average martial soul, but who works very hard."

"Ask him to take Yu Gang as a master and see if he would even accept him."

Bibi Dong sat up straight, her tone heavy.

"I will verify this myself. If there is nothing else, you may leave."

Instead, Lin Huai walked closer to Bibi Dong, stopping only when he reached her desk.

She furrowed her beautiful phoenix brows: "What are you doing?"

"The following conversation is better held at a closer range."

Bibi Dong's brows knit even tighter; she hadn't expected this kid to have such terrifying talent and to have even awakened an Innate Domain.

Lin Huai did not summon Malenia, choosing instead to release his Scarlet Rot Domain directly.

The entire Pope Palace instantly transformed into a temple of blood, with iridescent phantom butterflies fluttering about.

Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu's gazes sharpened; this bizarre domain could actually affect them?

"I will tell you a story."

"Decades ago, a girl with peerless talent appeared in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one who even had the potential to break the sect's curse. Under careful cultivation, she grew into adulthood."

"But one day, she suddenly declared that she was going to run away with a man from another faction."

He looked at Bibi Dong's beautiful, flickering face.

"Does it sound familiar? Don't be impatient; she was far more pitiful than you."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect directly pressured the man's faction until it disbanded, and that genius girl was imprisoned."

"Then, she was treated as a breeding machine, forced to give birth to children continuously—and these children had different fathers, you know."

Bibi Dong immediately activated Martial Soul Possession and lunged at Lin Huai.

Qian Daoliu acted as well, directly using his ninth soul skill to suppress Bibi Dong, rendering her unable to move.

"You old thing, if you have the guts, let me go!"

"I will make this brat wish he were dead!"

Lin Huai reached out and stroked Bibi Dong's pretty, soft cheek.

"Although you are in your spider form, you are still quite beautiful; there is a certain exotic charm to it."

Qian Daoliu's expression turned strange; this kid didn't seem like a good person at all.

He suddenly found his previous intention to play matchmaker between this boy and his own granddaughter wavering.
