For now.
Su Chen ambled back to the dormitory to pack his things, only to realize he had absolutely nothing to pack. All he could do was lie on the bed and wait for Hu Liena to find him a map.
Meanwhile, he kept updating his diary.
[Good.]
[I borrowed money and a map from Hu Liena. Next, I should plan my route... Huh? Why did I suddenly notice that today's diary came with a requirement? I'm supposed to write about Yu Xiaogang?]
And so.
Su Chen had just lain down, but he couldn't help sitting back up.
What the hell?
What does my diary have to do with Yu Xiaogang?
What a useless piece of trash, trying to leech off me.
Su Chen didn't hold back and went straight in:
[Yu Xiaogang can be summed up in four words—useless trash, human scum.]
[There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. Someone who can't break through level twenty-nine is a useless piece of trash. He can't blame his Martial Soul; he's the useless one.]
[Yu Xiaogang was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the son of Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen. His Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, mutated into Luo Sanpao. In the eyes of most people, it was a negative mutation, a degeneration caused by his own uselessness. But! This thing had successfully mutated from a Martial Soul into a real, physical being!]
[If he had any real knowledge and were a true genius Grandmaster, perhaps the continent would have had a Beast Taming Douluo.]
[If my Kun Kun could mutate into a physical being, I can't even imagine how awesome it would be. The whole Douluo Continent and even the Divine Realm would probably collapse.]
[As for the so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, they're full of holes. But that's only to be expected. He shamelessly plagiarized centuries of Spirit Hall's records, then just compiled them and called them his own?]
[Just tell me: how could a Soul Grandmaster who couldn't even break through level twenty-nine understand, test, and verify whether any of this was true?]
[There's no question that Yu Xiaogang is useless. It's not just the approval of netizens everywhere; 99 percent of Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent consider him a useless piece of trash, too. You can tell from the way the elementary school kids at Nuoding Academy react to him.]
[Being useless isn't what makes him detestable. What really makes me sick is that he's human scum! I need a moment before I get into that... On this trip, I have to visit Shrek. If I don't break his dick, I won't be able to face anyone and call myself a transmigrator.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's face darkened, anger in her eyes as she seethed on Yu Xiaogang's behalf!
A hater.
A downright troll.
So what if you're a transmigrator?
You have no idea how hard Xiaogang worked to break through the limits of his Martial Soul. You've never even met him—how would you know how hard he tried?
You called him useless?
And yet.
What made Bibi Dong angriest was that, in the face of Su Chen's assessment in the diary... she was powerless to refute it!
Almost all of Yu Xiaogang's theories came from what he had read at Spirit Hall. They were records accumulated over centuries by Spirit Hall...
The truth was, he had only been given the title of Grandmaster because of Spirit Hall. Nobody said it to his face, but everyone thought of him as a clown.
"Teacher?"
Hu Liena had arrived. Seeing Bibi Dong's dark expression, she hesitated before asking:
"Teacher, is that man named Yu Xiaogang really as useless as Su Chen says in his diary?"
Bibi Dong's face was cold.
"That's utter nonsense!"
"Never mind, let's not talk about that. You came to tell me about Su Chen, didn't you?"
After all, Bibi Dong had been Yu Xiaogang's first love. She certainly couldn't admit it, even if it was true.
Hu Liena was a little puzzled, but seeing that Bibi Dong didn't want to discuss it, she began:
"Yes. I deliberately arranged to run into him early this morning and invited him to dinner. He said he needed my help, borrowed some money from me, and asked to borrow a map of Sunset Forest."
"Teacher, judging by the diary he updated this morning, it seems he got some kind of reward and grew stronger. But Sunset Forest is extremely dangerous, and I'm worried about him..."
Bibi Dong sat on the dais, her long, fair legs stretched out, her expression calm.
"Based on our analysis of the diary's mysteries, whether or not he's still a level-fifteen Soul Master, he won't be in any danger."
"I just don't understand why he's in such a hurry to go to Sunset Forest. After all, since he claims to be a transmigrator, he shouldn't have any family or friends there, right?"
"What do you think, Nana?"
Hu Liena looked up at Bibi Dong and shook her head. "I don't know, either. Maybe he just wants to go out and have some fun?"
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment before speaking.
"If he really is a transmigrator with knowledge of the future, as he says in the diary, then he must have a purpose for this trip. Maybe he's looking for someone, or something else."
"Of course, none of that matters to us. What I want to do next is come up with a reason for you to stay by his side..."
At that, Bibi Dong felt a headache coming on.
Hu Liena's face lit up with joy.
"Teacher, I'm willing."
"I'll go find him in a bit and tell him I want to go with him. After all, he doesn't know the continent well, so I can keep him company and show him around. He shouldn't refuse."
Huh?!
Bibi Dong's expression froze. She didn't even know what to say about her lovestruck disciple.
"Nana, you're just going to go up to him like that? Don't you think you're acting strangely?"
"And besides, Su Chen claims to be a transmigrator who knows the future and the past. How does acting so strangely fit your usual persona?"
Hu Liena didn't answer, but she wondered to herself: Su Chen already called me lovestruck. Doesn't that mean my persona is getting more and more convincing?
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong was also so furious that she clenched her teeth, her chest rising and falling violently.
Damn it!
Absolutely shameless!
Do you know how hard Xiaogang tried?
You were told to write about Xiaogang, and you went and exposed his weaknesses?? When I find you, you little troll, I'll break your damn legs!
Just like Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong was seething, but she couldn't find a single reason to refute anything Su Chen had written in the diary.
The truth hurt the most!
Just then.
Su Chen's diary updated again, and its contents instantly left Liu Erlong stunned, her mind going blank.
Bibi Dong, at Spirit Hall, also went deathly pale in an instant.
[Next, let's talk about why Yu Xiaogang is human scum. He personally ruined two girls' lives. Just thinking about what happened to Bibi Dong makes me want to strangle him!]
[Because of his Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang was bullied and humiliated in every way by his family from childhood, and eventually driven out of the clan. Even if that didn't twist his mind, it must have made him single-mindedly determined to prove himself.]
[Let's start with Spirit Hall. How did he and Bibi Dong get together? From God's-eye view, there are three possibilities.]
