Yu Luomian held the lowest opinion of Yu Xiaogang, which made him all the more unwilling to believe that the chance for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to ascend to greater heights would actually lie in the hands of this good-for-nothing.
Yu Yuanzhen also furrowed his brows; he could not determine whether the Sky Screen exposing Yu Xiaogang at this moment was a blessing or a curse.
In Martial Soul City, Qian Renxue also frowned deeply.
"Why is it this guy again?"
Due to her hatred for Bibi Dong, she extended that resentment to Yu Xiaogang, loathing him to the very marrow of her bones.
At this moment, Ouyang Kong and Nahida had already arrived in Martial Soul City, and both Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue had spotted them.
The two of them hurried forward to welcome them.
"Qian Daoliu, Grand Elder of the Angel God, pays respects to the Lesser Lord Kusanali and the Grand Sage."
Qian Daoliu kept his posture very humble, and Qian Renxue followed suit.
"No need for such formalities. I believe Scaramouche has already explained our purpose to you."
"Yes, we warmly welcome the Akademiya to establish a branch in Martial Soul City."
"Good, that is well. As for the location of the branch..."
"It has already been arranged. I can take the Lesser Lord Kusanali and the Grand Sage to see it."
"There is no rush; the Sky Screen has updated again."
Everyone looked up, and indeed, the image on the Sky Screen had shifted from Yu Xiaogang to Luo Sanpao, accompanied by a text explanation.
[Luo Sanpao: Originally a Radiant Sacred Dragon. Due to the necessity of adapting to the host Yu Xiaogang's body, it underwent extreme degradation to its current form.]
The implication was clear: it was not the martial soul Luo Sanpao that held Yu Xiaogang back; on the contrary, it was Yu Xiaogang himself who was the failure, dragging down a martial soul that was originally a Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Following this, the Sky Screen played another side of Yu Xiaogang that was previously unknown.
The footage showed Yu Xiaogang summoning his martial soul, Luo Sanpao, while he was alone, venting all the suppressed dissatisfaction and other negative emotions in his heart onto the creature.
At the same time, the Sky Screen displayed Luo Sanpao's two soul skills—though calling them soul skills was a stretch, as they were both just farts.
It also showed scenes of Yu Xiaogang feeding it radishes just to ensure Luo Sanpao had gas to pass.
If Luo Sanpao were truly just a pig, these scenes wouldn't amount to much, but considering its true form was a Radiant Sacred Dragon, this was the ultimate humiliation.
Moreover, this humiliation didn't just target Luo Sanpao; it offended the protective dragon race as well. Even now, certain fierce beasts near the Lake of Life were already contemplating how to tear the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang to shreds.
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang himself was certainly unwilling to admit this. Since childhood, he had brainwashed himself into believing that it was the burden of the Luo Sanpao martial soul that had turned him into a failure.
If his martial soul had been a normal Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, his achievements would surely have surpassed everyone else's.
Yet now, the facts told him that it wasn't the martial soul that had failed him; rather, he was the one who was too incompetent, dragging down his martial soul.
This was something he found impossible to accept, no matter what.
In fact, the three-in-one martial soul fusion skill of Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and Flender had already proven this truth.
The so-called Golden Sacred Dragon was actually Luo Sanpao using the soul power of Liu Erlong and Flender to unlock its original appearance.
"Xiaogang, don't get too worked up. You have never been a failure; Flender and I both know this clearly. Isn't that right, Flender?"
Flender only just snapped back to reality and chimed in, "That's right, Xiaogang. You have your own areas of expertise. Don't pay too much attention to what's on the Sky Screen."
It was easy to say, but if Yu Xiaogang could simply ignore it, he wouldn't be Yu Xiaogang. He had previously been able to deceive himself, but now, he didn't even have an excuse left to do so.
Meanwhile, at the Akademiya branch in Heaven Dou City, Tighnari was using the Sky Screen to lecture his students.
"Regarding this phenomenon of martial soul degradation, what do you think are the possible causes?"
"Teacher, I know!"
"Collei, you must give the younger students a chance to express themselves."
"Oh!"
Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu twitched their lips; they would rather not have this chance to express themselves.
"Xiao Wu, why don't you tell us? Combine what you've learned previously and give a brief explanation."
"The reason definitely lies with Yu Xiaogang himself. He's just too useless. Honestly, I've never liked him."
"Ahem! No personal attacks, please. We are analyzing the problem. Sit down."
Tighnari then began his explanation.
"You have already studied the theory of the trinity: martial soul, spirit, and body.
These three aspects influence one another. The degradation of a martial soul must stem from issues in the other two areas.
Yu Xiaogang is the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan leader; he surely grew up in luxury, so we can largely rule out issues with physical constitution.
Therefore, this problem is likely caused by a mismatch between Yu Xiaogang's mental state and his martial soul.
A person's mental fortitude is often reflected in their daily life; for instance, those with weak mental fortitude tend to avoid facing their problems."
As if in coordination with Tighnari's lecture, the Sky Screen updated with another event concerning Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing the new footage on the Sky Screen, both Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong felt their bodies tremble uncontrollably.
The scene displayed was their wedding, but Yu Luomian appeared during the ceremony, exposing their cousin relationship and interrupting the incestuous wedding.
Yu Xiaogang's choice was also fully revealed: he fled. He dared not face the problem and chose to run, leaving Liu Erlong alone to face her father, Yu Luomian.
This scandal was exposed, and the label on Yu Xiaogang was no longer just "waste," but at least "scum" and "coward" as well.
"Look, this act of avoidance already shows his mental strength is very weak. This kind of person is not worth learning from."
"He actually did something like that, abandoning a woman in that situation. Did he ever consider how desperate that woman must have felt?"
As Zhu Zhuqing said this, she glanced at Dai Mubai, her meaning of criticizing one while referring to another being too obvious.
"That's right, but Dean Liu Erlong still gave her whole heart to that Yu Xiaogang. It's truly incomprehensible."
The speaker meant nothing, but the listener took it to heart. Zhu Zhuqing also had some different thoughts at this moment.
"Ahem! Quiet, this topic ends here. Let's continue the lesson..."
Qian Renxue looked at the scene on the Sky Screen and let out a cold laugh.
"Heh, it really should let that woman see what kind of scum the person she likes truly is."
Ouyang Kong glanced at Qian Renxue, thinking to himself, "Even if Bibi Dong saw these scenes, she wouldn't react much. This 'love brain' thing is truly incurable."
"You two, take us to see the branch campus site."
Hearing Ouyang Kong's voice, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue snapped back to attention and hurriedly led the way.
