Yu Xiaogang's Theory Was a Joke Before En Ci!

Xu Xiaoyan of the Dragon King Era burst out laughing the moment she saw that sentence.

[Xu Xiaoyan: It's hard enough to kill a Soul Master with hidden weapons nowadays, and making them wastes so many resources. Only an idiot would make hidden weapons.]

[Tang San: Who are you calling an idiot?]

[Xu Xiaoyan: Whoever admits it is the idiot.]

Xu Xiaoyan typed while laughing.

"Who exactly is this idiot? He's hilarious."

Besides Xu Xiaoyan, Yue Zhengyu, Ye Xinglan, and the others all expressed in the chat that hidden weapons really were not very useful.

[Yue Zhengyu: Who still uses hidden weapons these days? They're ancient.]

[Ye Xinglan: Hidden weapons, useless.]

Tang San flew into a rage when he saw those comments!

"What do you know about hidden weapons? Just wait. I'll make Tang Sect hidden weapons resound across the entire Douluo Continent."

Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen,

After parting ways with Tang Ya and the others, Ye Chen arrived in Shrek City.

Bibi Dong also came to Ye Chen's side once more.

"Why does Shrek City look a little familiar?" Bibi Dong asked doubtfully.

"..." Ye Chen thought for a moment before truthfully saying, "Shrek City was built upon the foundation of what used to be Spirit City."

"Then Shrek Academy, surely it isn't...?"

"Shrek Academy was built where Spirit Hall used to stand," Ye Chen said.

Outside the Sky Screen, Qian Daoliu lost his composure upon hearing that.

"Good, good, good! What a Shrek Academy! What a Tang San!"

Qian Renxue was equally furious, but Spirit Hall's destruction was not the only thing enraging her.

Bibi Dong's indifference enraged her as well!

She had not seen even the slightest trace of grief from Bibi Dong over Spirit Hall's destruction!

She could not even understand why Bibi Dong had become Ye Chen's guardian!

Bibi Dong had treated her daughter like this in the past, and now she treated Spirit Hall the same way!

"Since you don't care, then I'll take the Pope's throne in your place!"

Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Ye Chen brought Bibi Dong into a clothing store in Shrek City.

"Teacher, how about changing into another outfit?"

Ye Chen looked at Bibi Dong before him, dressed in a black Pope's robe embroidered with golden patterns and wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown.

She was simply too conspicuous.

"Alright." Bibi Dong nodded. Since Spirit Hall was gone, there was no point in wearing the Pope's robe anymore.

Afterward, Ye Chen used his few remaining Gold Soul Coins to buy Bibi Dong a more casual outfit.

Outside the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang's eyes went wide as he looked at the refreshed Bibi Dong.

Liu Erlong, standing behind Yu Xiaogang, did not hesitate to punch him.

"You like her that much? Why don't you go back and find her, then?"

Liu Erlong said angrily.

Within the Sky Screen, after helping Bibi Dong change clothes, Ye Chen planned to head for Shrek Academy.

Shrek Academy's admission process was fairly simple, just as it had been ten thousand years ago.

Pay Gold Soul Coins, test one's age, and test one's Soul Power.

Those whose Soul Power met the standard could join.

But exceptions always appeared.

Sure enough, before long, a Soul Master who exceeded the admission age limit was driven out by Shrek Academy.

The expelled Soul Master wanted the registration fee back.

Yet Shrek's admissions teacher refused to return it.

Bibi Dong was deeply puzzled by what she saw.

By then, Ye Chen had already completed his registration and successfully joined Shrek Academy.

She came to Ye Chen's side and asked, "Why would an academy as large as Shrek make things difficult for a student?"

"Who knows? Shrek Academy just likes throwing its weight around and bullying people."

"Relying on its great reputation, it claims that it only admits monsters, not ordinary people. But isn't that just training geniuses into geniuses?"

"Especially someone who goes around saying that there are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters. As far as I'm concerned, he's the least qualified person to say that," Ye Chen said.

What right did Yu Xiaogang, who had remained at level 29 past the age of fifty, have to say that?

On one hand, he said his martial soul was flawed and that he could not break through level 30. On the other, he said only Soul Masters could be useless. He insulted himself twice in a single sentence. That was truly something.

In Ye Chen's eyes, only two people were genuinely qualified to say that. One was Ji Juechen of this era.

His Innate Soul Power had only been level 3, and his martial soul was merely an ordinary mundane sword. He had no special talent and had been regarded as trash by his family since childhood.

At the age of eight, he had entered the soul beast forest alone to hunt a Hundred Year Soul Ring. After years of arduous cultivation, he had even comprehended a domain on his own.

In the end, he reached the realm of nine rings.

The other was En Ci of the Dragon King Era. Compared with Ji Juechen, En Ci's experiences were even more extraordinary.

His martial soul had likewise been a useless one with only a trace of Light Sacred Dragon bloodline. His Innate Soul Power had been less than half a level, and every Soul Master had regarded him as utterly worthless.

He only broke through to Soul Elder at the age of thirty, then fought every four-ring student of Monster Academy alone. After that, his martial soul completely evolved into the Light Sacred Dragon.

The rest of his life was practically like cheating. At thirty-five, his Soul Power leapt thirty levels in succession, and he advanced to become a six-ring Soul Emperor.

At forty, he broke through to the nine-ring Titled Douluo realm after another five years, receiving the title Sacred Dragon.

At forty-five, he stepped into the ranks of level 95 Super Douluo.

At fifty, he reached level 98 Super Douluo, only one step away from Limit Douluo.

After turning fifty, he devoted himself to forging Battle Armor. The Star Luo Empire had no Divine Craftsman and no Heaven-Forged rare metals.

He handled every step himself: design, forging, and tempering. In five years, he completed a Three-Word Battle Armor, then spent another ten years continuously nurturing it with his own Soul Power and spiritual power.

He forcibly gave the metal sentience, completing pseudo-Heaven Forging. Sacrificing ten years of his lifespan, he created Star Luo Continent's only Four-Word Battle Armor, the Peerless Sacred Dragon.

Years later, he broke through to level 99 Limit Douluo.

Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Bibi Dong nodded at first, then realized something was wrong.

She seemed to have heard that sentence somewhere before.

But Shrek Academy's attitude toward commoner Soul Masters truly displeased her.

Spirit Hall awakened martial souls for Soul Masters free of charge and even provided Gold Soul Coin subsidies, yet it had been branded evil!

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy refused to refund a student's registration fee, yet it was labeled righteous!

Within the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang was displeased by those words.

"I'm just quickly screening for talents worth cultivating!"

At this moment, everyone in the chat began discussing Ye Chen's statement that there were no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters.

[Ning Rongrong: Useless martial souls don't even have Soul Power. How are they supposed to cultivate? What does that have to do with the Soul Master?]

[Yu Xiaogang: Why can't they cultivate? There are no useless martial souls, only useless Soul Masters! Even Blue Silver Grass can cultivate into godhood!]

Yu Xiaogang quickly retorted in the chat.

At that moment, Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have found something interesting online.

She typed into the chat.

[Xu Xiaoyan: I found the person who said that. He was still level 29 after turning fifty. What right did he have to say that?]

[Xu Xiaoyan: If he could truly understand martial souls, he wouldn't have been stuck at level 29 for so long.]

[Yu Xiaogang: His martial soul was merely flawed!]

[Ning Rongrong: He had a flawed martial soul and still had the nerve to say that? He was just consoling himself. Insulting himself twice in one sentence—there really was no one else like him.]

Targeted by the two witches, Ning Rongrong and Xu Xiaoyan, Yu Xiaogang did not even know how to retort.
