Pulling the Rug Out From Underneath! Bibi Dong: Your Theory Is Wrong!
With the joint testimony of Ning Fengzhi, Dai Tianfeng, and Xue Ye, the last Sisi of doubt about the Spirit Hall in the square completely vanished.
Instead, there was a deafening roar of anger and curses!
"This Yu Xiaogang is utterly shameless! The evidence is irrefutable, yet he still dares to argue!"
"I was just wondering if the Spirit Hall was framing him; I must have been blind!"
"Let's just kill this guy!"
The crowd's condemnation coalesced into a terrifying wave of sound, as if it would tear that tiny figure on the cross to shreds.
Hearing the crowd's roar, a smile flashed in the cardinal's eyes. He raised his hand, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
"Everyone!"
"I can understand your anger at being deceived by Yu Xiaogang!"
He paused, then his voice suddenly rose, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"However, what I want to announce regarding Yu Xiaogang's crimes... is not over yet!"
What?
Besides?
The entire hall fell silent instantly, and hundreds of thousands of eyes were fixed on the bishop, each face filled with shock and astonishment.
Could this level 29 trash have committed any other crimes besides attempting to assassinate the Pope?
Amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd.
The bishop slowly and deliberately took a thin book out of his pocket.
On the book's cover, several large characters were written in a flamboyant style.
<The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul>.
The moment Yu Xiaogang saw the book, his pupils suddenly contracted, as he had just been somewhat numb from the pain and despair!
A chill more terrifying than death shot straight up from his tailbone to the top of his head!
No!
It shouldn't be this!
An unprecedented sense of foreboding rose in his heart, and he immediately began to struggle frantically on the cross, the menacing iron chains rattling loudly as he pounded against them.
He didn't even bother to defend himself against the charge of "assassinating the Pope," and with all his might, he let out a hoarse roar.
"What do you want?! What exactly do you want?!"
What are you doing?
The bishop, seeing his panicked state, let out a cold sneer.
"Naturally, I am acting on His Holiness the Pope's orders to expose your disgusting and shameless act of plagiarism!"
Then, he raised the book high in his hand, facing the hundreds of thousands of spectators below, his voice booming like a bell.
"I'm sure you've all heard of this so-called 'Grandmaster,' Yu Xiaogang, and his 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,' right?"
Upon hearing this, at least half of the commoner Soul Master in the audience nodded subconsciously.
After all, thanks to the tireless efforts of Bibi Dong, who was once obsessed with romance, the name "Grandmaster" Yu Xiaogang was indeed renowned and influential among ordinary Soul Master.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, the bishop's sneer deepened.
"Do you all know that this theory, which you regard as the gold standard, was all shamelessly plagiarized by Yu Xiaogang from the Spirit Hall's archives!"
However.
What happened was completely unexpected.
After he delivered his resounding accusations, the audience did not erupt in a new wave of anger as he had imagined.
There wasn't even the slightest ripple.
They paused for a moment, then whispered among themselves, their faces showing more confusion and bewilderment than anything else.
It's as if... they don't care at all whether Yu Xiaogang plagiarized or not.
No!
It's not just a guess.
In fact, they really don't care!
In a sense, if Yu Xiaogang hadn't "published" the so-called "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul," it wouldn't have been possible.
These commoner Soul Master without any background will never have access to this precious knowledge that is monopolized by powerful forces in their entire lives!
Who cares if it's plagiarism or not?
We benefited, and that's enough!
This eerie calm instantly turned the bishop's expression somewhat unpleasant.
Yu Xiaogang, on the cross, after his initial shock, also keenly sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere.
He was stunned at first, then a surge of joy welled up inside him!
He understood!
He understood!
"Hahaha... hahahahahaha!"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his head and let out a maniacal and triumphant laugh!
He looked at the Spirit Hall members on the viewing platform, whose faces were already showing signs of embarrassment, and laughed until tears streamed down his face.
"Did you see that?! Did you see that?!"
With the air of a victor, he hurled the most arrogant taunts at the bishop and at Bibi Dong.
"Let your Spirit Hall smear me however you want!"
"The eyes of the masses are discerning!"
"They will always stand on the side of justice!"
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, the bishop's face turned pale and then red, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his whip to teach this ignorant fool a lesson.
However, a slender hand stopped him.
Bibi Dong slowly stood up.
The moment she stood up, it was as if an invisible force instantly enveloped the entire room.
The noisy discussions in the square came to an abrupt halt.
Even Yu Xiaogang's maniacal laughter seemed to be choked by an invisible hand, stuck in his throat.
All eyes were involuntarily drawn to that stunningly beautiful figure.
She didn't shout like the bishop.
He did not show any anger or dissatisfaction.
She simply stood there quietly, her noble amethyst eyes calmly sweeping across the entire room.
Finally, her gaze fell upon the group of commoner Soul Master who, because they "benefited" from the plagiarism, chose to tacitly condone it.
"I know."
She spoke, her voice clear and cool, yet possessing a strange, comforting power.
I know what you're thinking.
"As commoner Soul Master, we usually have no opportunity to come into contact with this kind of knowledge."
"You all feel that, regardless of where this knowledge comes from, at least everyone has a direction now, right?"
Below the stage, countless ordinary Soul Master nodded subconsciously, their faces showing expressions of understanding.
On the viewing platform, Ning Fengzhi's eyes twitched slightly.
Good tactic!
In a single sentence, he instantly bridged the gap with the public, placing himself on an equal footing to engage in dialogue with them.
This is a hundred times better than any harsh reprimand!
On the cross, Yu Xiaogang's unease began to frantically grow once again.
Really.
After gaining the silent approval of the people, Bibi Dong abruptly changed the subject, her cold voice now tinged with pity and sorrow.
"But have you ever thought about this...?"
What if this so-called 'knowledge' is itself wrong?
Boom!
These words were like a bombshell, exploding loudly in the crowd!
What?!
Wrong?!
"The most deadly lies are often nine parts truth and one part falsehood."
Bibi Dong's voice was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts again and again.
"What Yu Xiaogang copied was indeed the theoretical foundation of my Spirit Hall, but it was due to his own negligence."
"Those Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul contain numerous oversights, even fatal flaws!"
