At that moment.
In the original work timeline.
In the anime timeline.
The Sky Screen suddenly descended.
Gods could not obscure it, and Titled Douluos could not destroy it.
The bewildered faces of the three Yu Xiaogangs and Tang San were broadcast live across the entire Douluo Continent.
"Aren't those Yu Xiaogang and Tang San?"
Flender and Liu Erlong cried out involuntarily.
Beside them, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were dumbfounded.
The other six of the Shrek Seven Monsters wore very strange expressions:
"What exactly is this Sky Screen?"
Pope Bibi Dong said:
"Could this be a revelation from the gods?"
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo charged into the sky, unleashing the strength of a Titled Douluo.
They struck the mysterious Sky Screen with a fierce attack.
Only to discover that they could not damage it at all.
"This is even more terrifying than the power of a god!"
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo exchanged looks, utterly shaken.
Beneath a locust tree.
Tang Hao abruptly rose to his feet, staring straight at the bewildered Tang San in the Sky Screen.
He gripped his wine gourd and shouted:
"Little San, choose Su Chen as your master!"
"Hurry and choose Su Chen as your master!!"
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen exclaimed in astonishment:
"So my son could become this powerful."
"This must be the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul!"
"Xiao Gang is actually a level 99 Titled Douluo."
Yu Yuanzhen jumped for joy like a child.
He paid no attention whatsoever to the useless Grandmaster of this timeline.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi took a sip of tea and said:
"This Su Chen version of Yu Xiaogang is incredibly powerful."
"He looks no older than thirty, doesn't he?"
After a moment of silence, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo said:
"Even if the two of us joined forces against him, we would have no chance of winning."
Ning Fengzhi said regretfully:
"What a shame he isn't a member of our sect."
The three turned their gazes toward this timeline's Yu Xiaogang.
They sneered, "It seems the Grandmaster amounts to no more than this."
"In the end, his own theories shackled his steps."
"He didn't even know he could become Jade Dragon Douluo."
"And a level 99 Limit Douluo at that."
At Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes held a complicated look:
"I've finally seen Yu Xiaogang in his youth."
"This is the man I truly loved so deeply."
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo was stunned:
"This is the first time Her Holiness has ever acted this way toward a man."
At the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao said enviously:
"So the Grandmaster could become a Limit Douluo simply by defying convention?"
"Compared to Su Chen, the Yu Xiaogang of this timeline is nothing but trash!"
On Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes held a strange look:
"How did this Su Chen version of Yu Xiaogang manage it?"
"He became a Limit Douluo before thirty."
"How did Lord Sea God fail to notice him?"
"The Yu Xiaogang of this timeline is far too useless!"
At Shrek Academy.
The Shrek Seven Monsters looked at Yu Xiaogang with peculiar expressions.
They whispered among themselves:
"So the Grandmaster had this much potential."
"Could his own theories really have shackled his steps?"
"Compared to the Su Chen version of Yu Xiaogang from another timeline, he's a minor sorcerer standing before a great one."
Yu Xiaogang looked at the two middle-aged Xiao Gangs in the Sky Screen with a complicated gaze.
Speechless, he thought, So I'm such a fool?
I could have become a Limit Douluo all along.
My theories were actually a cage imprisoning me.
What's going on with the Golden Sacred Dragon beside this Su Chen?
As Yu Xiaogang from the original timeline voiced his question.
A passage of text began appearing on the Sky Screen:
Luo Sanpao's true form is the Golden Sacred Dragon. Because Yu Xiaogang of the original timeline could see no farther than a mouse. He took his martial soul's development in the wrong direction. But the Su Chen version of Yu Xiaogang never adhered rigidly to theory. He never clung to old conventions and repeatedly broke through his limits. He endured every hardship. And ultimately became a Limit Douluo of his generation.
At Spirit Hall.
Tears filled Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. "Xiao Gang, breaking through your limits must have made you suffer so much, didn't it?"
Seeing the pope shed tears, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo sighed:
"So this Su Chen version of Yu Xiaogang endured so much suffering."
"This timeline's Yu Xiaogang passed fifty years old at level 29."
"If he followed Su Chen's methods, Yu Xiaogang would have to suffer a fate worse than death before finally becoming a Limit Douluo."
More text then appeared on the Sky Screen:
Su Chen absorbed a ten-thousand-year Mandala Snake for his first soul ring. He absorbed a ten-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape for his second soul ring. He absorbed a 100,000-Year Ironclad Giant Bear for his third soul ring. ... His remaining soul rings all came from hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
The instant those words appeared.
The entire continent was shocked:
"According to the Grandmaster's theories, isn't the age limit for absorbing a first soul ring four hundred and twenty-three years?"
"This Su Chen is simply insane!"
"Isn't he afraid his body will explode and kill him?"
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed scarlet in an instant.
Tang San understood that Su Chen's appearance had shattered the Grandmaster's composure.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Realization dawned on Yu Yuanzhen:
"So my son endured such suffering."
"He never put things into practice according to his own theories."
"He dared to do what the whole world condemned."
"How could this timeline's Yu Xiaogang compare?"
At Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong stood up:
"He could completely crush me."
"It's just that we're separated by two timelines."
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo heard the regret in Her Holiness's voice.
They each said:
"Your Holiness, that day will come."
At Shrek Academy.
When Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang again, there was a little more mockery in his eyes.
"Xiao Gang, you really are too muddleheaded."
"You prided yourself on your theories every day, only to fall flat on your face in the end."
"If I were you, I wouldn't believe your theories."
The more Liu Erlong looked at Su Chen, the more she liked him:
"This is the spirited, high-spirited Xiao Gang."
On Sea God Island.
"This young Yu Xiaogang is no weaker than I am."
Bo Saixi carefully sensed the powerful aura emanating from Su Chen's martial soul.
She waved her trident and said:
"What a pity. This timeline's Yu Xiaogang is nothing but trash."
In the Divine Realm.
The Sea God repeatedly tried to destroy and obscure the Sky Screen.
Every attempt failed.
The Asura God said, "Forget it. This thing is not something you or I can shake."
The Sea God could only obediently watch the Sky Screen and say:
"Just what kind of existence is this Su Chen version of Yu Xiaogang?"
"Was I blind to choose Tang San?"
The Asura God nodded in agreement as well.
But he threw cold water on him:
"This timeline's Yu Xiaogang is just a fraud who deceives the world to steal a reputation."
"Past fifty at level 29. What a laughingstock."
The Sea God was dumbfounded. "Fifty? Level 29?"
"Are they the same person?"
The Asura God threw cold water on him again:
"The way this timeline's Yu Xiaogang obtained his theories was even less honorable."
"He took advantage of Bibi Dong's affection to pore over all of Spirit Hall's theoretical texts."
"They're nothing but plagiarized theories, cobbled together from here and there."
"I don't know what's wrong with the continent."
"Even someone like that can be called a Grandmaster?"
The Sea God's favorable impression of this timeline's Yu Xiaogang instantly dropped to zero.
Suddenly, at that moment.
The Sky Screen displayed text once again:
Neither timeline's Yu Xiaogang obtained his theories honorably. Both treated Bibi Dong as a pawn, using her status to pore over all of Spirit Hall's theoretical texts. Plagiarized theories, cobbled together from here and there.
The text came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone across the continent fell silent.
With that, they stirred up a towering uproar:
"Grandmaster's theories were plagiarized?"
"Pope Bibi Dong was his pawn?"
"What a fraud, deceiving the world and stealing a reputation."
"No wonder Yu Xiaogang couldn't become someone like Su Chen."
The Yu Xiaogangs in both timelines instantly flushed crimson.
Both clenched their fists tightly, almost digging their nails deep enough to draw blood.
Flender's and Liu Erlong's eyes filled with shock:
"Xiao Gang, what's going on?"
The Shrek Seven Devils also turned their gazes toward the red-faced Grandmaster.
They were all waiting for a reasonable explanation.
Yu Xiaogang roared, "This Sky Screen is fabricating things!"
"These theories."
"They're truths I painstakingly compiled."
"How could they have been plagiarized?"
Spirit Hall.
Pope Bibi Dong stared blankly at the words on the Sky Screen.
Her body suddenly moved.
Then she laughed loudly in self-mockery. "So you never liked me."
"You only approached me for Spirit Hall's books on theory."
"What a Yu Xiaogang. What a Grandmaster!"
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo clenched his fists:
"That fraud who deceived the world and stole his reputation deserves to die!"
The Spirit Hall Golden Generation.
Hu Liena said, "Yu Xiaogang really is no good."
"He even dared to plagiarize Spirit Hall's theories."
Only then did Yan and Xie Yue see the light. "No wonder Tang San and the others are so powerful."
"Everything Yu Xiaogang used to guide them was Spirit Hall's theory."
Before anyone knew it.
The Yu Xiaogangs in both timelines had become targets of a thousand accusing fingers.
They were shaken to the core:
"Just who on earth is this Su Chen?"
"How does the Sky Screen know all this!"
