Chapter Summary

Yu Xiaogang proudly rebrands his original “Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Soul” as the “Ten Thousand Core Competitiveness Theories.” However, after listing the original ten, he cannot think of an eleventh point. Embarrassed but unwilling to admit the truth, he retreats to his room under the pretense of consulting his research materials.
A teacher overhears Yu Xiaogang claiming that the ten theories were merely a simplified version intended for “mediocre fools” and that he will soon reveal all ten thousand. The teacher spreads the story throughout Nuoding Academy, exaggerating it into a momentous event. Students and teachers abandon their activities and gather outside Yu Xiaogang’s room, expecting either a revolutionary scholarly presentation or a spectacular humiliation.
While the crowd waits, Tang San and Bai Yu attempt to complete Tang San’s enrollment. Even the enrollment teacher abandons his post to watch Yu Xiaogang’s impending “great achievement,” forcing the two boys to continue searching for the enrollment office themselves. Bai Yu sarcastically reminds Tang San that his teacher is supposedly about to “rise to greatness,” while Tang San remains confused and embarrassed by the situation.
News of the supposed ten thousand theories spreads rapidly across the continent. Zhao Wuji informs Flender, who is horrified because he knows Yu Xiaogang’s original ten theories were already difficult to fabricate. Nuoding Academy becomes a spectacle and even a tourist attraction. At Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong hears the rumors and reacts strongly, presumably preparing to investigate. Yu Yuanzhen, head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, is enraged that Yu Xiaogang is once again damaging the family’s reputation and declares that he no longer considers him his son before fainting from anger. Bibi Dong, hearing the report at Spirit Hall, is equally bewildered and questions whether this absurdly arrogant figure is truly the Yu Xiaogang she knows.
By evening, thousands of spectators—including spies from Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou royal family, and various academies—have gathered outside Yu Xiaogang’s room. Some even begin selling snacks and drinks as though attending a public performance. When the crowd grows impatient and calls for him to come out, Yu Xiaogang is revealed to be inside, sobbing helplessly at his desk because he cannot invent the remaining 9,990 theories.
