Xiong Jun staggered back in terror. As he retreated, the voice ringing from the Sky Screen saved his life.

Bi Ji stopped and turned to look at the sky.

"The strongest Martial Soul Theory? Can humans really come up with anything new in their Martial Soul research?"

Bi Ji regretted those words the moment she said them.

Clearly, she had remembered the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

Even a support-type Martial Soul could become an attack-type Martial Soul and wield such formidable power. Perhaps human research into Martial Soul Theory really did have value?

As that question surfaced in Bi Ji's mind, Di Tian was already deep in thought beside her.

A trace of curiosity crossed Di Tian's cold, domineering face.

"Even if their Martial Soul Theory is formidable, it belongs to Huaxia Star. What could little Douluo Star possibly have?"

The disdain in his voice made it clear that Di Tian knew something about the continent's current Martial Soul research.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you need not fear a hundred battles." Di Tian understood the weight of those words.

Di Tian had hardly spent the past years shut away. Long ago, he had traveled the continent and learned all he could about humans.

As the Beast God, he naturally knew which fields revealed humanity's strength. He had not overlooked Martial Soul research.

A name left Di Tian's lips.

"Yu Xiaogang."

"I seem to recall he's currently Douluo Star's foremost Martial Soul researcher. But he appears to be nothing more than a good-for-nothing."

Di Tian thought of the records he had seen on Yu Xiaogang's cultivation. A mere Soul Grandmaster dared to call himself the greatest Martial Soul researcher? Wasn't that just shooting his mouth off?

He had not even figured out his own Martial Soul, yet he had the nerve to study other people's?

Di Tian held him in utter contempt, but he looked forward to seeing Huaxia Star's Martial Soul research.

Like Bi Ji, he was curious about the power that had transformed a support-type Martial Soul like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an attack-type Martial Soul.

Both of them, their curiosity stirred, sank their awareness inward and logged on to the Virtual World Forum.

If they were curious, why not ask?

As the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts began logging on to the Virtual World Forum one after another to question the people of Huaxia Star, the voice ringing from the Sky Screen also caught the attention of everyone in Spirit Hall.

The higher-ups of Spirit Hall quickly searched their memories. Was there really such a thing as Martial Soul Theory on the continent? Even Yue Guan could not think of a single relevant name. Golden Crocodile Douluo, however, quickly recalled one particular person.

"Oh, I remember now. Didn't we once have someone at Spirit Hall who specialized in Martial Soul Theory? His name was..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo was still struggling to recall Yu Xiaogang's name when Qian Daoliu supplied it: "Yu Xiaogang."

"Yes, Yu Xiaogang."

The moment he heard the name, Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded in confirmation. With the two of them backing each other up, Yu Xiaogang became the focus of the Spirit Hall higher-ups' thoughts.

"Yu Xiaogang... I think I've seen his writings in Spirit Hall's library."

"Oh, Yu Xiaogang, the one who wrote about Soul Ring limits and Martial Soul classifications, right? I remember now. He really could be called the leading figure in Martial Soul Theory."

Several Spirit Hall higher-ups spoke up, each adding another piece to the account of Yu Xiaogang's work.

Bibi Dong, who had just left the Virtual World Forum, fell silent.

Clearly, Yu Xiaogang's name had stirred painful memories.

Bibi Dong, who had been chatting so freely on the Virtual World Forum moments ago, began turning the matter over in her mind.

"Yu Xiaogang? He does have some ability."

"He could be considered a master of Martial Soul Theory on Douluo Star."

Bibi Dong's words carried immense weight. With that, the Spirit Hall higher-ups acknowledged Yu Xiaogang's standing.

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang had just emerged from his absorbed note-taking. When he heard the voice from the Sky Screen, he could barely contain his delight.

"The strongest Martial Soul Theory? Isn't that about me? On Douluo Star, I'm the undisputed master of Martial Soul research. Who on Huaxia Star could possibly surpass me?"

Brimming with confidence, Yu Xiaogang made his bold declaration. He thumped his chest and could not resist a sneer.

"I laugh at Huaxia Star for having no one of worth! So what if they can turn a support-type Martial Soul into an attack-type Martial Soul?"

"That can't compare with my Three Martial Soul Laws, much less the results of my research over more than a decade, perhaps even decades."

With that confidence behind him, Yu Xiaogang swiftly sank his awareness inward and began trading barbs online with the people of Huaxia Star.

"I am Yu Xiaogang, Douluo Star's greatest master of Martial Soul research. If you want to defeat me, come and face me."

The moment Yu Xiaogang issued that challenge on the Virtual World Forum, the many people of Huaxia Star, who had been enjoying themselves, took notice. He was like a crab barging into a fishpond, throwing his weight around, and he had caught their interest!

[Oh? Someone actually has the nerve. Douluo Star truly is a shallow pond teeming with turtles.]

[The strongest Martial Soul Theory? Let's see what results you can produce!]

[Douluo Star has someone bold enough to challenge all of Huaxia Star? Everyone, it's time to put what you've learned to the test!]

Excited, the people of Huaxia Star quickly drew on the Martial Soul Theory they had learned in school, ready to take on Yu Xiaogang.

After all, Martial Soul Theory had been a required subject for the people of Huaxia Star!

Even outside the Tianjing Federation Parliament chamber, the federal legislators noticed Yu Xiaogang's challenge on the Virtual World Forum. They exchanged knowing smiles and spoke up.

"He's got guts. I have to give him that."

"It's been ages since I've seen anyone with that much nerve. I can't tell whether he's brave or reckless."

"Speaker, I think it's time Douluo Star got a taste of a blow from beyond the heavens, courtesy of Huaxia Star."

As Zhurong, Gonggong, and the others stepped forward, Xuan Yuan Tian's expression remained calm.

"That's enough, you old-timers. What's the point of picking on a little kid? Let the Sky Screen show them the harsh truth."

As Xuan Yuan Tian finished speaking, Chen Tian, high in the vast sky, sensed Yu Xiaogang's post on the Virtual World Forum.

All he could say was that Yu Xiaogang had truly outdone himself this time. The man had guts, all right—perhaps too much for his own good.

As Chen Tian made that amused remark, the Sky Screen's voice rang out.

The comparison of the strongest Martial Soul Theories had begun!

[The comparison of the strongest Martial Soul researchers begins!]

[First up: Yu Xiaogang of Douluo Star and his Ten Martial Soul Laws!]
