• Ye Tian dismisses the theory as largely useless and plagiarized. Yu Xiaogang insults him, prompting Bibi Dong to slap Yu Xiaogang twice—first for insulting Ye Tian, then for insisting his work deserves her respect.
• Instead of letting Bibi Dong settle the matter with more violence, Ye Tian proposes a public test. He gives Yu Xiaogang funds to print copies and arranges for Spirit Hall to gather the city’s Soul Masters in three days, where the theories will be judged.
• Yu Xiaogang eagerly accepts, believing the event will make him famous. Afterward, Ye Tian explains to Bibi Dong that he plans to expose both the theories’ flaws and their borrowed material, leaving Yu Xiaogang disgraced.

Character developments and interactions

• Bibi Dong remains firm in rejecting Yu Xiaogang and is fiercely protective of Ye Tian. She wants to focus on cultivation and eventually gain enough power to act independently of Qian Xunji.
• Ye Tian takes a strategic approach: rather than simply punish Yu Xiaogang, he intends to use the man’s confidence to ruin his reputation publicly.
• Yu Xiaogang mistakes Bibi Dong’s meeting for lingering affection and sees his book as proof of devotion. His pride and certainty make him vulnerable to Ye Tian’s challenge.
• The central conflict is a clash between Yu Xiaogang’s belief in his own talent and Bibi Dong and Ye Tian’s contempt for his conduct and work.

Significant themes

• Reputation and public judgment: Ye Tian aims to defeat Yu Xiaogang through public scrutiny rather than force.
• Pride and self-deception: Yu Xiaogang interprets rejection as misunderstanding and expects his theories to restore his standing.
• Protection and loyalty: Bibi Dong’s immediate defense of Ye Tian contrasts with her hostility toward Yu Xiaogang.
• Changed fate: Ye Tian notes that Yu Xiaogang completed his theories earlier than in the original story, suggesting events have diverged from their expected course.

Plot points

• Yu Xiaogang distributes 10,000 free copies in Spirit Hall’s central square. At first, readers split between praise and skepticism.
• Bibi Dong publicly introduces Yu Xiaogang and invites the crowd to judge his work. Early supporters praise the theories, and Yu Xiaogang assumes he is on the verge of fame.

• The crowd mocks Yu Xiaogang’s low cultivation and scrutinizes the book. They accuse its claims of being obvious, unsupported, poorly classified, or implausibly precise. Some recognize passages as material from other books and accuse him of plagiarism.
• Yu Xiaogang denies copying and says some theories still need testing. The crowd interprets this as a plan to use them as test subjects and turns furious, calling for him to be beaten.

Character developments and interactions

• The crowd shifts from curiosity and mixed opinions to ridicule and anger as it questions Yu Xiaogang’s expertise and the book’s originality.

Significant themes

• Ideas must withstand scrutiny: stirring claims lose credibility when they lack evidence or practical support.
• Reputation versus competence: public attention and early praise cannot compensate for a mismatch between a person’s claims and demonstrated ability.

• Manipulation of public opinion: Ye Tian steers the confrontation, while the crowd’s judgment changes rapidly as new information emerges.

• Yu refuses to accept her rejection, insisting she still loves him and is being controlled. His words further enrage the audience, and the crowd attacks him again.

• The crowd praises Bibi Dong’s mercy and proposes a “line” so each person can hit Yu once without striking vital areas.

• Ye Tian argues that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are not truly trusted by Pope Qian Xunji: as outsiders, they are useful tools rather than respected allies.

• In the forest’s Core Circle, Ye Tian senses a powerful evil aura and identifies its source as a sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Its Evil God Bloodline, devouring ability, and multiple attributes make it exceptionally dangerous—and potentially valuable as Bibi Dong’s Soul Ring.
