"I can't believe it. Dai Mubai really knows how to have fun."
"He's got a tigress at home, so he sneaked out. There's nothing wrong with that."
Everyone simply ignored Ye Tianyun and Tang San.
Those two were far too serious about their work. There really wasn't anything worth watching, whereas Dai Mubai's life was full of flavor.
Dai Mubai's expression changed. He wanted to explain, but he was also afraid of the Live Broadcast Room.
The Live Broadcast Room's previous lesson had been brutal.
Liu Erlong was furious and scolded him sternly:
"Dai Mubai, I never expected you to be such a wild one. I'll have to keep a close eye on you. Your lifestyle is shockingly debauched."
Dai Mubai was under a lot of pressure, especially when he saw the disappointment in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes. That only made his pressure worse.
"Zhuqing, listen to my explanation. They seduced me. I kept turning them down."
Unfortunately, Dai Mubai's explanation only made Zhu Zhuqing more disappointed.
Even Liu Erlong couldn't help sighing. She really wanted to kick this brat, Dai Mubai, out of the academy.
He'd done something wrong and still refused to admit it.
"Young Master Dai Mubai, what's so good about that woman? Could she possibly be as considerate as us?"
"Ah, of course you're more considerate. But her Martial Soul can help me. Once I'm done using her, you'll still be my little darlings."
Dai Mubai's face turned green. He was done for. The Live Broadcast Room had aired it, and he knew better than anyone whether it was true.
Everything the Live Broadcast Room showed was real.
In the Parallel Timeline, Ye Tianyun chuckled:
"I never expected Dai Mubai to be that kind of person. What a scumbag."
Below him, his capable subordinate Zhu Zhuqing stayed silent. She had long since forgotten about Dai Mubai.
Meanwhile, in the Main Timeline.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew even uglier. She gave a self-mocking laugh.
"So he was just using me, all because he wanted my Martial Soul Fusion Skill. I finally see it clearly."
Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and the others felt that something was very wrong when they saw Zhu Zhuqing's expression.
Given the current situation, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's relationship had fallen apart. How could they perform their Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the future?
Without their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, how could they face those powerful academies?
"Mubai, listen to my excuse—no, listen to my explanation. This is all because of the Live Broadcast Room..."
Dai Mubai was halfway through making excuses when he stopped, too afraid to continue. Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, ready to punish everyone present at any moment.
The others glared at him, murder in their eyes. They'd been dragged into it last time. If Dai Mubai caused trouble again, they'd kill him.
Dai Mubai hated the Live Broadcast Room to death.
In response, the Live Broadcast Room seemed to say, "You shouldn't have cursed me. Don't blame me for exposing all your dirty secrets."
But the Live Broadcast Room didn't care about Dai Mubai and continued the broadcast.
[Leaving the other matters aside, on this particular day, Ye Tianyun was training with the second team when he suddenly heard one of its members mention Spirit Bones.]
[Someone had been killed over a Spirit Bone, which had then been stolen. Ye Tianyun suddenly had an idea. He had a Spirit Bone himself, so he naturally understood its advantages. If he could create Artificial Spirit Bones, he'd be one step closer to crushing Little Scumbag.]
???
Tang San's expression changed again. He questioned it in front of everyone:
"Can Spirit Bones really be artificially created? How is that possible?"
After what happened yesterday, he'd looked into Spirit Bones. They were a miracle of nature, with an incredibly low chance of appearing.
It wasn't as if no one had tried to create Artificial Spirit Bones, but no one had ever succeeded.
Now, even Tang San wasn't the only one questioning it. Yu Xiaogang joined in:
"Impossible. The Live Broadcast Room must just be making things up. How could he possibly develop Artificial Spirit Bones? Throughout history, so many geniuses—people considered the wisest of their age—have failed. How could Ye Tianyun succeed?"
Beside them, the eldest of the Soul Saint Brothers was very clever.
He was the first to think of a reason. Nudging Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, he grinned and asked:
"That wisest person of the age you mentioned—wouldn't happen to be you, would it? Have you studied Artificial Spirit Bones?"
Yu Xiaogang: "..."
He hated clever people most of all, especially those even cleverer than him. The eldest brother had immediately understood what he'd meant.
That's right. The peerlessly clever man of his age who had also studied Spirit Bones was him.
Back then, his Martial Soul had been low quality, and his strength had improved slowly. So he'd wondered whether he could develop Spirit Bones to increase his own power.
But after reading through the Spirit Hall's records and spending a good deal of money, he hadn't developed a single thing. In the end, he'd had no choice but to give up.
Then the Live Broadcast Room told him that Ye Tianyun was also researching Artificial Spirit Bones—and that he'd most likely succeed.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's sorrow, Liu Erlong offered him some comfort:
"Brother Xiaogang, don't think too much about it. I've always believed in you. You'll definitely be able to develop Artificial Spirit Bones. Ye Tianyun won't succeed."
Unfortunately, whether Ye Tianyun succeeded was hardly up to Liu Erlong.
Elsewhere, Spirit Hall Pope Bibi Dong was having a headache. She still hadn't figured out the Guidance Method, Battle Armor technology, or the Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Method. She didn't have a single clue.
And now Ye Tianyun had started a new research project.
Artificial Spirit Bones.
Just hearing the name made it sound impressive.
Bibi Dong immediately looked down at the Platinum Bishops, the Spirit Hall scholars, and the Offering Pavilion Scholars.
"You..."
Before Bibi Dong could finish asking, the scholars all spoke up at once.
"Your Holiness, we can't do it."
"Exactly. Many people have researched Artificial Spirit Bone technology, but no one has ever succeeded."
Bibi Dong fell silent. Sure enough, there was a gulf between people.
Ye Tianyun was an absolute genius. The people under her command might be geniuses when it came to cultivation, but they were far behind in every other area.
"Fine. I'll provide you with plenty of funding. Do your research properly. If you manage to develop it, I won't let you down."
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."
Above them, the Live Broadcast Room continued.
[Ye Tianyun suddenly realized he was running out of time. There was too much to research. Sometimes, being too clever was a burden, because there were so many courses to take.]
"..."
Everyone fell silent.
Being too clever was a burden? They felt they weren't clever enough.
[So Ye Tianyun decided to hurry up with his research. He focused his mental power on his Evil Eye Spirit Bone, hoping to unravel the secrets of Spirit Bones.]
[Besides that, he caught a few Spirit Beasts and studied their bones, hoping to unravel the secrets of Spirit Bones.]
In the scene.
Ye Tianyun had become a scientist. He held several bones in his hands and studied them.
If this were the real world, he'd definitely be considered a lunatic.
But countless people on Douluo Continent admired Ye Tianyun's dedication to research, as well as his intelligence and talent.
[Meanwhile, while Ye Tianyun was researching Spirit Bones, Tang San was studying Battle Armor.]
[Tang San had always believed himself clever, so he devoted his efforts to researching Battle Armor. He wanted to develop his own Battle Armor and use it to defeat Ye Tianyun.]
Outside the scene.
Tang San in the Main Timeline was very pleased. He muttered to himself:
"I believe the other me will definitely develop Battle Armor."
This confidence mainly came from his earnest hopes for himself.
