Kind Words Cannot Save the Doomed

As for the issue of Soul Skills that Bibi Dong had mentioned.

Qian Mo considered it the same problem and calmly spoke up.

"Your Highness the Saintess, it is true that this gentleman's vision for Soul Skills and cultivation direction is quite good.

But you have both overlooked a core and very fundamental issue.

That is, when Soul Masters obtain Soul Skills, there is a certain degree of randomness involved. It is not a matter of obtaining whichever Soul Skill one wants.

This should be basic knowledge that every Soul Master learns when first starting out."

At this point, an appropriately puzzled look appeared on Qian Mo's face.

He seemed unable to understand why these two did not even know such basic Soul Master common sense.

In an instant, Bibi Dong broke out in a cold sweat, feeling the awkwardness of having her carefully maintained image crumble and her status as a poor student exposed.

Yu Xiaogang, meanwhile, had bloodshot eyes and breathed heavily, his gaze filled with disbelief.

Because this was the theory he had painstakingly researched!

Yet it had been wrong from its very foundation?

How could Yu Xiaogang, whose cultivation talent was lacking but who prided himself on possessing peerless wisdom, possibly accept that!

Yu Xiaogang wanted to argue back, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say.

Because, just as Qian Mo had said, his theory had been wrong at its root. How could he refute it? Could he claim that when Soul Masters absorbed Soul Rings, they could obtain whichever Soul Skill they wanted?

If he really said that, he would become a complete madman and idiot!

Seeing the two like this, Qian Mo smiled inwardly, thinking that the first stage of exposing Yu Xiaogang's scheme had succeeded.

Even if Bibi Dong was foolish, once she discovered that Yu Xiaogang was not only worthless in cultivation but also lacking in brains, she probably would not be as hopelessly infatuated with him as in the original story.

But after quite a while.

Qian Mo saw that the two had not fallen out over this, and he could not help frowning slightly. He decided to turn up the heat.

"Furthermore, based on this theory of obtaining Soul Skills.

It is destined that no Soul Master anywhere on Douluo Continent can one hundred percent follow the Extreme Style or Balanced Style this gentleman mentioned.

As for this gentleman's claim that Martial Soul Hall secretly follows the Fusion Style, that is even more baseless.

Because this is something all the other major powers already know perfectly well. There is no need to research it further."

As soon as those words fell, Yu Xiaogang completely lost his composure. He slammed his hand on the table, rose to his feet, and roared.

"Impossible!

How could the other powers possibly know this secret besides me!"

Bibi Dong seemed to snap back to her senses as well, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

"Yes, yes! I watched Xiao Gang gradually summarize the theory of the Fusion Style bit by bit. How could the other powers possibly know it?"

"...Sigh."

Qian Mo suddenly sighed and looked at Bibi Dong with a helpless gaze, as though he were caring for someone with special needs.

Bibi Dong's heart immediately skipped a beat!

A bad feeling rose within her.

Qian Mo then explained blandly.

"This gentleman, you yourself said that this was the secret behind Martial Soul Hall's long-term victories.

So do you think the major powers would not study it? Or do you think you are the only intelligent person in this world?

You should know that the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament has already been held for over a thousand years."

Qian Mo's final words carried deep meaning.

But their effect was no different from a great bell resounding beside Yu Xiaogang's ears!

Yu Xiaogang stood there blankly, his eyes vacant.

At the same time, he kept questioning himself.

That's right. The Soul Master Tournament has been held so many times, and Martial Soul Hall never hid anything. Their battles all took place in public. How could the major powers possibly fail to figure it out?

Wasn't this another case of facts speaking louder than words...

Yet Qian Mo was not pleased by the sight.

Because Bibi Dong still remained unwaveringly devoted to Yu Xiaogang, with no intention of distancing herself from him at all.

Qian Mo gritted his teeth inwardly and decided to increase the dosage again!

"Moreover, Your Highness the Saintess, the greatest mistake in this gentleman's theory lies precisely in his proposal of the Fusion Style.

From what I heard this gentleman say earlier, the Fusion Style is a Soul Master development model based on individual extremity and team balance, intended to maximize the strength of Soul Master groups."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang instantly became alert.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang had also figured it out.

Indeed, someone must have noticed the Fusion Style before him. He was definitely not the first person to propose it.

But he was the first to organize it into written form, and this team coordination model was absolutely the model that allowed Soul Master groups to unleash their greatest combat power.

He was absolutely not wrong about that!

In an instant, Yu Xiaogang straightened his back, intending to debate Qian Mo over exactly where his Fusion Style theory was wrong and thereby salvage his earlier embarrassment.

But how could Yu Xiaogang have known that Qian Mo had no intention of wasting time in a lengthy argument? He went straight to the point.

"This theory sounds fine at first.

But Your Highness the Saintess, do you truly believe that the members of a Soul Battle Team can really stay together for a lifetime?

Take yourself as an example. Now that you have just finished participating in the Soul Master Tournament, how much contact do you still have with your teammates? Will you remain together for life?

And even setting aside these emotional matters.

Your Highness the Saintess, with your talent, the gap between your future cultivation and theirs will only grow wider.

Tell me, once you become a Title Douluo, will you still need the help of companions who can at most become Soul Douluos in the future?

So while this theory sounds reasonable, it is actually only suitable for Soul Masters who are still growing or who possess low to middle cultivation. It is truly useless to you.

Otherwise, if Your Highness the Saintess becomes bound by these so-called teammates, then even at the very least, they will slow your cultivation speed. I will not explain the other harms one by one.

I wonder, Your Highness the Saintess, are you satisfied with my answer?"

Hearing Qian Mo's final, reasoned rebuttal, Yu Xiaogang froze completely where he stood and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Because although Qian Mo had not completely denied his theory, he had denied the one aspect Yu Xiaogang cared about most.

That was its effect on Bibi Dong!

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was filled with terror, afraid that Bibi Dong would be completely disappointed in him because of Qian Mo's explanation and stop paying attention to him.

If that truly happened, how could he gain access to Martial Soul Hall's most core materials?

How could he use them to change the malignant mutation of his Martial Soul?

And thereby defy fate and change his destiny!

Just as everyone around them nodded in agreement and praise at Qian Mo's explanation.

Bibi Dong's soft, warm hand covered the back of Yu Xiaogang's hand.

Seeing this, Qian Mo immediately felt that something was wrong. His brows twitched wildly, and inwardly he screamed.

No, I've already said this much, Bibi Dumb, what the hell are you trying to do!

Do you have some kind of fetish for useless men? If you want one, you can have me too! I only have innate Soul Power level three, but I'm still trash to you!

Stop simping for Yu Xiaogang already!
