"Little Tiantian, why do you think Yu Xiaogang came looking for me?"

"Could he still be unwilling to give up? Didn't you say he was a scumbag?"

After Chrysanthemum Douluo left, Bibi Dong looked at Ye Tian in confusion.

"I don't know either. Maybe you didn't make things clear eight years ago. You only slapped him, so he never gave up."

"Perhaps we should see what he wants."

Ye Tian was puzzled too. This had gone beyond the original story's outline, leaving even him at a loss.

"All right. I can use this chance to settle things once and for all, so he'll stop bothering me and Qian Xunji can rest easy."

Bibi Dong urgently needed to cultivate and raise her strength.

Over the past eight years, her cultivation had advanced quickly. At most, she needed only a few more years for her Soul Power to reach Level 90.

Once she became a Titled Douluo, she would no longer need to fear Qian Xunji. She would have a measure of say in matters, too.

Even if she secretly arranged Qian Xunji's death, she would have enough strength to hold the position of Pope.

"Let's not waste time. We'll go now."

Bibi Dong took Ye Tian's little hand, left Spirit Hall, and found the hotel where Yu Xiaogang was staying.

"D-Dong'er, what brings you here?"

Yu Xiaogang's face lit up when he saw Bibi Dong.

If Bibi Dong had come to see him, she must still have a place for him in her heart.

The thought filled Yu Xiaogang with joy.

"Yu Xiaogang, I told you not to call me Dong'er. You have no right. Don't make me slap you!"

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang still hadn't learned his lesson, Bibi Dong raised her hand as if to slap him.

It wasn't that she couldn't bring herself to do it. She just found Yu Xiaogang filthy.

Having Ye Tian alone in this life was enough for her. No other man even deserved to touch her.

"O-okay."

When Yu Xiaogang saw her raised hand, he instantly remembered the slap from eight years ago. Frightened, he dared not call her Dong'er again.

Seeing him behave, Bibi Dong asked, "Well? What did you come to Spirit City for?"

"I-I came to find you."

"I wrote this theory. Take a look."

Seeing Bibi Dong's cold attitude, Yu Xiaogang handed her the first volume of his theories, which he had paid to publish himself.

"'Theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul'? What kind of rubbish theory is that? Who'd read it?"

The moment Ye Tian saw what Yu Xiaogang had handed over, he understood what the man had been doing for the past eight years.

After that blow, Yu Xiaogang had spent eight years finishing his theory ahead of time.

Well, would you look at that. The original story really had changed.

Didn't that mean Yu Xiaogang hadn't met Liu Erlong yet?

Even better. Liu Erlong was free, spared from falling into Yu Xiaogang's clutches.

"Huh? Where did this little brat come from?"

"You haven't even read it. What gives you the right to call my theory rubbish?"

Only when Yu Xiaogang heard Ye Tian's criticism did he look down and notice him.

Until then, all his attention had been on Bibi Dong.

"Shut up! You have no right to insult him!"

When Bibi Dong heard Yu Xiaogang insult Ye Tian, she slapped him across the face.

However much Yu Xiaogang disgusted her, she would not tolerate his disrespect toward Ye Tian.

"Y-you hit me?"

"Bibi Dong, why are you treating me like this?"

"I spent eight whole years perfecting and writing this theory to prove myself to you."

"That's how devoted I am to you. That's how steadfast I've been. You can't treat me this way."

"Did that little dog cloud your judgment? Is that why you're treating me like this?"

"It's been eight years. Why haven't you changed for the better?"

Clutching his cheek, Yu Xiaogang stared at her in disbelief, his face full of hurt.

"Enough, Yu Xiaogang!"

"You call that devotion? Steadfastness?"

"You approached me because you wanted me to help spread your useless theories."

"Do you think I'd still believe your lies?"

"Get out of my sight right now, or don't blame me for what happens next!"

Bibi Dong was furious. She slapped him again.

Yu Xiaogang disgusted her.

If Qian Xunji hadn't told her to come, she would never have bothered meeting Yu Xiaogang.

"No! I didn't plagiarize my theories, and they aren't useless. This book will change the age of Douluo Continent."

"Bibi Dong, whatever you think of me now, please read it."

"Once you do, I'm sure you'll see my talent in a new light."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't bear to hear Bibi Dong disparage his work like that.

Anyone else on Douluo Continent could question him. Bibi Dong alone could not.

After all, his theories were what had won her favor back then.

He believed that if she read them, she would take a liking to him again.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent eight years perfecting them.

"Sister Dong'er, I took a look. Most of what's in here is useless, and much of it is plagiarized."

"There's nothing wrong with drawing on others' work. If you admit it and put it together, that's an achievement too."

"But some people crave an empty reputation. To make a name for themselves, they insist they discovered it all on their own. Their skin is thicker than the city walls."

Ye Tian had skimmed the theory. Just as in the original story, it didn't hold up under scrutiny.

It sounded reasonable on the surface, but in practice, it was no use.

"What would a little brat like you understand?"

"Don't think you can slander my work just because Bibi Dong is protecting you."

"My theory is unbeatable. Once it's released, it's bound to be a sensation."

Confident in his theory, Yu Xiaogang sharply rebuked Ye Tian for questioning it.

"Yu Xiaogang, you're asking for it!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang disrespect Ye Tian again, Bibi Dong angrily raised her hand, ready to beat him senseless.

"Sister Dong'er, don't be angry. Someone this shameless isn't worth it."

Ye Tian stopped Bibi Dong, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

Beating Yu Xiaogang would only offer momentary relief. Ruining his reputation completely—that would be satisfying.

Wasn't Yu Xiaogang so confident in his theory?

Then he could lose face before every Soul Master under heaven and become a rat everyone wanted to chase from the street.

Only then would Yu Xiaogang understand just how useless his theory was.

"Yu Xiaogang, you're confident in your theory, aren't you?"

"Do you dare present it publicly in Spirit City's central square, before everyone, and let the world judge whether it's useful?"

Ye Tian liked Yu Xiaogang's blind confidence. It was why everyone wanted to see him brought low.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Yu Xiaogang replied boldly.

"Good. You've got nerve."

"Here are one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins. You have three days to print as many copies as you can."

"Spirit Hall will gather every Soul Master in the city at the central square."

"If your theory holds up, you'll make a name for yourself. You won't need to prove yourself again."

"If it doesn't, stop boasting about it everywhere."

"Whether you become famous depends on how sound your theory is!"

Ye Tian took a draft for one hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins from his clothes and handed it over.

He had prepared it before they came.

"Fine. We'll settle it in three days!"

"I'll have everyone on Douluo Continent witness my theory."

Yu Xiaogang was only too happy to accept Ye Tian's help.

In three days, his name would be known throughout the world.

"Little Tiantian, are you really sure Yu Xiaogang's theory is completely useless?"

As soon as Bibi Dong and Ye Tian left the hotel, she asked him.

To be honest, she was a little worried.

Yu Xiaogang's theories did have some use at times.

"Sister Dong'er, some of his theories are useful, but not all of them."

"The useless ones are based on conjecture. They'll be easy to refute."

"As for the useful ones, he copied them from elsewhere and put them together."

"So in three days, we won't just test whether his theories work. We'll expose the plagiarism too."

"When the time comes, follow my lead. I'll make Yu Xiaogang infamous—a rat everyone wants to chase from the street. He'll never have the face to bother you again."
