Flender Fainted from Rage

"Hey, it's been a whole day and night. Can you give us a definite answer already?"

"Master, did you just stand us up?"

"Damn it, refund our money!"

"Wait, what money are you refunding?"

"Oh, I'm not from your academy. I bought a ticket to get in."

"???"

Inside the room, Yu Xiaogang quietly lifted the curtain and peered outside through a crack. All he saw was a vast crowd, worked up with excitement.

His face was haggard, as though he had fired off dozens of rounds in one night. He even wanted to die.

There were so many people outside. If he went out and said he had only been joking, would they beat him to death?

But he couldn't just keep silent either. He had already locked himself in his room for a day and night. He couldn't lock himself away until he died, could he?

At worst, his reputation would be ruined. Anyway, Yu Xiaogang no longer cared about this old face of his!

Gritting his teeth, Yu Xiaogang pushed open the door and walked out. A burst of cheers immediately rose outside from the spectators eager to see the chaos unfold.

"Master, have you figured out your Great Core Theory?"

"Master, let us mediocrities hear it, will you?"

"Master."

Yu Xiaogang broke out in a cold sweat!

He wished he could burn this entire group to death so he would not have to lose face!

But that was impossible. Unless he wanted to starve to death in his room, he had no choice but to admit it.

Still, who said he had to lose all reputation to muddle through this? I can say there was a thief! Yu Xiaogang, you're a genius!

[Plot: Yu Xiaogang is desperately clinging to his pride and prepares to say that a thief stole his Great Core Competition Theory]

Bai Yu thought about it. The basic opportunity could only change one character. If he exchanged for three uses, could he change three characters at once?

He gave it a try and successfully changed "a thief stole" into "Spirit Hall."

System: [???]

Fuck, a bug had been exploited!

From now on, seal this bug immediately!

However, Bai Yu had already completed the modification. Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and announced in a loud voice:

"Everyone, I have bad news. I searched my room for an entire day and night, but I still could not find my manuscript, because my manuscript..."

"Was stolen by Spirit Hall!"

The moment those words came out, the crowd erupted.

Within the crowd, the Martial Soul Hall Envoy was utterly dumbfounded.

Nuoding Academy's Dean sternly rebuked him.

"Yu Xiaogang! Do you know what you're saying?"

Yu Xiaogang spoke with righteous indignation.

"I do! Spirit Hall stole my manuscript! As for why... someone in Spirit Hall definitely knows. It's just that ants like you don't know!"

After Yu Xiaogang said that, the crowd exploded into an uproar.

Ants? You were a level 29 Soul Grandmaster whose theories had never been put into practice, yet you called us ants?

Seeing the crowd grow increasingly agitated, Nuoding Academy's Dean hurriedly said, "Everyone, Master may be having some mental problems. His cultivation must have gone wrong. I'll take him to see a doctor right away!"

As he spoke, the Dean flew toward Yu Xiaogang.

He had no choice but to smooth things over. Yu Xiaogang was now an honorary guest of the academy. If he publicly slandered Spirit Hall and Spirit Hall sent people to retaliate against the academy, what then?

Even taking ten thousand steps back, even if Spirit Hall really had stolen it, you fucking couldn't say it out loud!

Besides, did you really have ten thousand theories? What bullshit!

However, Yu Xiaogang suddenly summoned Luo San Pao, whose fart blasted the Dean backward.

"I said it was Spirit Hall that stole it!"

The Dean was completely baffled. Yu Xiaogang had actually attacked him?!

The crowd staggered back again and again from the stench. Then, the Martial Soul Hall Envoy flew out from among them. Soul Power erupted from his body, dispersing Luo San Pao's fart as he said coldly:

"Yu Xiaogang, are you slandering Spirit Hall?"

Yu Xiaogang met his gaze proudly.

"I am Master. Go ask the higher-ups of Spirit Hall whether they know me. Your standing is too low. The struggle between us is not something a little nobody like you can participate in."

Martial Soul Hall Envoy: "...?"

Don't tell me you really have mental problems?

If a Soul Emperor slandered Spirit Hall, he would think that Soul Emperor was deliberately picking a fight.

If a Soul Ancestor slandered Spirit Hall, he would think that Soul Ancestor was a pawn sent by Heaven Dou or Star Luo.

But a Soul Grandmaster, and a useless one at that, slandering Spirit Hall... The Envoy could think of no other possibility besides him being insane.

But Spirit Hall had been smeared for no reason, so he could not simply ignore it.

"Yu Xiaogang, do you have any evidence?"

Yu Xiaogang answered as though it were only natural.

"Evidence? Go ask your Spirit Hall higher-ups for it!"

The Martial Soul Hall Envoy flew into a rage.

"Yu Xiaogang! You have slandered Spirit Hall without cause and cannot produce any evidence. Are you trying to cause trouble?"

"According to the law, I will arrest you and throw you into prison to await judgment!"

As he spoke, the Martial Soul Hall Envoy reached for Yu Xiaogang.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly regained his senses. Seeing the Martial Soul Hall Envoy charging toward him, his face changed drastically.

"No! That's not what I meant!"

"Too late. Explain yourself in the dungeon!"

Just as the Martial Soul Hall Envoy was about to seize Master, a fierce wind suddenly rose across the scene. It was no ordinary wind, but Gale Force, blasting the Martial Soul Hall Envoy back again and again.

When he opened his eyes again, Master was gone.

The Martial Soul Hall Envoy exploded with rage.

"Bastard! Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I'll drag you out!!"

Everyone present stood dumbstruck, and the scene fell completely silent.

Bai Yu lightly nudged Tang San with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Little San, what exactly does your teacher mean by this?"

After speaking, Bai Yu froze.

Because he saw that Tang San was clearly not in a normal state. Tang San's fist, hidden behind his back, was clenched tightly. He frowned and gritted his teeth, and his expression practically spelled out:

Spirit Hall has earned its death sentence!

Tang San's heart burned with rage.

My teacher is such a learned and reasonable man. He would never make up nonsense. So Spirit Hall stole my teacher's manuscript and made him embarrass himself. It's all Spirit Hall's fault. Spirit Hall has earned its death sentence!

Bai Yu fell silent.

As expected of Brother San.

Inside a mountain cave, Flender set Yu Xiaogang down and roared, "Yu Xiaogang, have you lost your mind?!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was pale. His lips moved, but he could not utter a single word.

Flender cursed furiously, "If I hadn't been there just now, Spirit Hall's people would have dragged you off and locked you in prison! You dared to say Spirit Hall stole your things without any evidence. Even if your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent people over, they wouldn't be able to save you, understand?!"

Yu Xiaogang was bloodless with fear. Of course he knew the consequences, but at the time, he had inexplicably believed that Spirit Hall had stolen it. For some reason, he had been more certain that "Spirit Hall stole his things" than that "he was a man"!

After venting his anger, Flender asked in a deep voice, "What are you going to do now?"

Yu Xiaogang looked lost. He shook his head and said pitifully, "I... I don't know."

"You don't know? Don't you have ten thousand theories? Even if the manuscript is gone, you must remember some of them. Make the part you remember public, then go to Spirit Hall and beg for forgiveness. Maybe this matter can still pass."

Flender sighed. This might be the best solution.

Otherwise, even as a Soul Saint, he could not protect Yu Xiaogang for the rest of his life.

Yu Xiaogang's face turned ashen. For a long time, he could not say a word.

Seeing that something was wrong with his expression, Flender guessed the truth and demanded, "Xiaogang, don't tell me... Don't tell me your Great Core Theory was all just boasting? You can't make up even one of them?!"

Yu Xiaogang did not want to admit it, but he truly had no idea how to make them up.

It's obviously ten thousand, so why can I only think of ten? Bibi Dong must have ordered her subordinates to steal my inspiration. Right, it can't be my fault!

Thud!

Flender fainted from rage!

Yu Xiaogang's face changed drastically.

"Old Owl, Old Owl, wake up!"

My personal safety still depends on you! If you leave, what am I supposed to do?!
