Do You Think You're Worthy of Trading for My Dragon Core, Yu Xiaogang?

However, as he watched the leaders of the various major factions endlessly arguing in the Live Stream Room, Lin Yu had no intention whatsoever of trading away the Dragon Core in his hand.

Although Lin Yu's Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul could not evolve even after consuming the Dragon Core,

he was still quite tempted by the Dragon Core's effects of strengthening one's physique, increasing cultivation, and extending one's lifespan.

After all, a treasure like the Dragon Core was likely even more precious than the most valuable Immortal Herbs on the Douluo Continent. How could he possibly trade it away so easily?

Lin Yu: @Qian Daoliu, @Xue Ye, @Dai Tianfeng, the three of you have offered excellent terms. But unfortunately, as I said before, I do not like placing my fate in someone else's hands. I hope to obtain what I want through my own efforts, so I can only apologize. I cannot agree to your trades.

Lin Yu was very polite.

Although Qian Daoliu, Emperor Xue Ye, and Dai Tianfeng had all offered rather sincere terms,

if Lin Yu agreed to the exchange, then he would certainly have to meet people sent by Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, or the Star Luo Empire to hand over the Dragon Core.

But who could guarantee that, once those people learned his true identity,

they would not develop ill intentions toward him because they considered him weak?

After all, he was currently just an ordinary level-10 Soul Scholar.

Even though he possessed the Chaos Azure Lotus Martial Soul, the External Soul Bone and Thunder Wings, and the Eternal Life Art, he had the means to escape, but his lack of combat strength was a fatal weakness.

And he still could not separate himself from human society.

If Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, or the Star Luo Empire discovered his identity and set their sights on him,

Lin Yu did not want to spend the rest of his life fleeing.

Therefore, before he possessed the ability to completely conceal his identity and sufficient strength to protect himself,

Lin Yu would absolutely never expose who he was.

There was no helping it!

He had already received three consecutive live stream rewards, and there would be even more in the future.

He was practically a massive "treasure vault," yet he lacked the ability to protect himself.

He did not want to entrust the safety of his entire life to other people's moral standards. That would be foolish!

Ah, what a pity!

Seeing Lin Yu's polite reply, Qian Daoliu in Spirit City, the still-arguing Emperor Xue Ye and Dai Tianfeng, as well as the ministers of the two empires who were likewise arguing, could not help but sigh.

It seemed they had no chance of obtaining this Dragon Core!

However, Lin Yu's words made the leaders of the top factions across the Douluo Continent, including Qian Daoliu, Emperor Xue Ye, and Dai Tianfeng, admire him even more and grow increasingly curious about him.

Who knew how old this little fellow was? Yet he was already so cautious!

If he could maintain such a cautious nature and rely on the reward resources from this Live Stream Room, then he would certainly have a place among the future strongest experts of the Douluo Continent!

However, while most of the leaders of the various factions believed Lin Yu was unwilling to trade the Dragon Core because he was cautious,

Yu Xiaogang had a different interpretation of Lin Yu's answer, and hope for a trade rose within him.

In Yu Xiaogang's view, Lin Yu's reply clearly stated that he wanted to obtain what he desired through his own efforts.

This showed that Lin Yu probably did not care for power and status, but instead wanted to improve his own strength.

And as long as he did not care for power and status, the things Yu Xiaogang possessed could potentially be used to make a trade.

After all, the various Martial Soul theory research notes, comprehensive Soul Beast knowledge, and Soul Master cultivation notes that he had spent decades compiling and summarizing...

These were also priceless treasures!

They would be extremely useful to Soul Masters without powerful backgrounds!

More importantly, this Dragon Core was simply too important to him.

So long as there was even the slightest possibility, Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to give up.

Yu Xiaogang: @Lin Yu, please trade your Dragon Core to me. I am willing to exchange everything I have learned in my life, including my Martial Soul theory research notes, comprehensive Soul Beast knowledge, Soul Master cultivation notes, and more!

After speaking, Yu Xiaogang suppressed his anxiety and began waiting.

But when Lin Yu saw Yu Xiaogang @ him and attempt to trade for his Dragon Core using the garbage theories he had compiled and the various knowledge he had plagiarized from Spirit Hall,

Lin Yu was stunned, then immediately laughed in anger.

Was this guy really that shameless?

You took other people's things, added your own ridiculous conclusions and motivational drivel, came up with all kinds of garbage theories, and even stole Soul Beast knowledge from others—yet you still had the nerve to use them in a trade?

What complete shamelessness!

Of course, Lin Yu knew what Yu Xiaogang was thinking.

He had probably seen that the Dragon Core could evolve Martial Souls with dragon bloodlines, so he was unwilling to give up.

But since you were so overconfident and delivered yourself to me to be humiliated,

wouldn't I be letting down your kind intentions if I did not slap you in the face?

Lin Yu could not be bothered with Yu Xiaogang's various garbage theories.

However, the comprehensive Soul Beast knowledge he had compiled should indeed be quite useful.

But unfortunately, all of it had been plagiarized from Spirit Hall.

Lin Yu was already planning to join Spirit Hall and study such knowledge there.

Why would he need things that you, a plagiarist, stole from Spirit Hall?

Thus, Lin Yu naturally held nothing back as he began tearing into Yu Xiaogang, the worthless scumbag he had long despised!

Lin Yu sneered. "Yu Xiaogang, I really have to admire you. You may be ugly, but you sure know how to dream big!"

"The previous live streams already exposed you. All your theoretical knowledge regarding Martial Souls, Soul Masters, and Soul Beasts was stolen from Spirit Hall."

"Otherwise, why would anyone cooperate with a useless person like you in conducting research?"

"With your strength, I doubt you have even visited the Star Dou Great Forest much. How exactly did you get all that data related to Soul Beasts?"

"You want to use other people's things as trade goods? Do you have any shame?"

"Pah! You shameless piece of trash. Keep your theories to yourself and get the hell out of here!"

"You!!!"

At Notting Academy, when Yu Xiaogang saw Lin Yu mercilessly ridicule and angrily rebuke him before the entire Live Stream Room, tearing away every last shred of his facade, his body began trembling uncontrollably with rage.

Humiliated before so many people, even though he had anticipated it, Yu Xiaogang still felt a mouthful of blood surge up his throat. He could not stop himself from coughing out a mouthful of blood with a "Puh!" Then his vision went black, and he collapsed heavily onto the bed.

Liu Erlong angrily said, "How can you speak about Xiaogang like that? Even if Xiaogang's Martial Soul theories came from Spirit Hall, he still spent great effort organizing and summarizing them! Isn't that how all the knowledge we learn is gradually built up?"

That bootlicker Liu Erlong again!

Seeing Liu Erlong step out once more to defend Yu Xiaogang, Lin Yu was utterly speechless.

Lin Yu sneered. "So what if I look down on him? It is one thing to plagiarize other people's work and pass it off as his own, but he even added his own nonsense to it. That so-called Soul Ring Limit Absorption Theory is nothing but a trap for others. And then there's that 'There are no useless Martial Souls, only Soul Masters who do not know how to cultivate!'"

"That theory sounds great! But why have we never seen him prove it?"

"Oh, right. He is useless himself! Never mind, then!"

Lin Yu was not Flender, that bootlicker. Naturally, he would not indulge Liu Erlong.

Besides, Liu Erlong did not know his identity. What, was she going to come bite him?

Thus, Lin Yu did not hold back in rebuking Liu Erlong either!

But just as Lin Yu was tearing into Liu Erlong, an unfamiliar message suddenly @ him.
