The anime actually cut this part-what Dai Mubai said to Ning Rongrong in the original wasn't this

"Take Tang San, the protagonist of Douluo Continent, for example. Everything he did was self-serving, too. Even some fanfic protagonists weren't as generous as Tang San," Jiang Yan added.

"Spirit Hall raised Bibi Dong. How could they possibly agree to let her date Gangzi? Especially when Gangzi was trash. If you really want to dig into who was right and who was wrong, blame Gangzi. Who told him to be so weak?"

After all, on the Continent of Romance, being weak was the original sin.

"For example, take the Sun Moon Federation twenty thousand years later. The federation raised Ya Li, but didn't Yun Ming still whisk her away in the end? The federation could only stand by and watch. Wasn't that because Yun Ming was the strongest person on the continent?" Jiang Yan said.

Hearing this, Ye Guyi had another question. "Then if Yun Ming and Tang San were both Limit Douluos, along with Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin-if all four were Limit Douluos-who would be stronger?"

"Well? That's really hard to say. We'd only know after they fought," Jiang Yan said with a smile. "Readers argue about these power-scaling questions in all the comment sections every day. Some think Yun Ming would be stronger, since he created his own demigod divine seat and possessed Four-Word Battle Armor."

"Created his own demigod divine seat? That powerful?" Ye Guyi froze slightly.

"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded.

"Others think Tang San as a Limit Douluo would be stronger. After all, Tang San had the Sea God Trident at that point, and he could also use the Tang Sect's top-tier throwing-technique Hidden Weapon, Guanyin's Tears," Jiang Yan said.

"Can Hidden Weapons really be stronger than Four-Word Battle Armor?" Leng Yaozhu asked then.

"Ordinary Hidden Weapons certainly can't, but Guanyin's Tears can, because Tang San nearly used Guanyin's Tears to slay a god," Jiang Yan said.

At that moment, in the Sky Screen Livestream Room, Tang San finally perked up.

[Tang San: You heard that! I told you, top-tier Hidden Weapons are definitely stronger than your Battle Armor and Fixed Soul Cannon Shells!]

[Meng Hongchen: Then why did the Tang Sect decline?]

[Tang San: Well...]

Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Ye Guyi asked the same question.

"What? Hidden Weapons are that powerful? Then why did the Tang Sect decline?"

"Because the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record Tang San left behind was an abridged version. Top-tier throwing-technique Hidden Weapons like Guanyin's Tears and Bodhi Blood weren't recorded in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record at all," Jiang Yan answered.

"Of course, the emergence of Soul Tools did affect Hidden Weapons. It just didn't affect top-tier throwing-technique Hidden Weapons like Guanyin's Tears and Bodhi Blood," Jiang Yan added.

At that moment, in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.

[Meng Hongchen: So the Tang Sect brought its decline on itself.]

[Tang San: What do you mean by that? I definitely had my reasons for doing that!]

Within the Sky Screen, Jiang Yan continued going over the earlier question. "Some readers also think Huo Yuhao as a Limit Douluo would be stronger, because Huo Yuhao was the only one with three Soul Cores with Yin-Yang Complementarity. At that point, Huo Yuhao also possessed a Super Divine Artifact, the Ghost Carving Divine Knife."

"Tang Wulin was likewise powerful after becoming a Limit Douluo. The strength of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline isn't something ordinary Martial Souls can compare to."

"So unless we have them fight, it's hard to say who's stronger and who's weaker," Jiang Yan said.

At that moment, in the Sky Screen Livestream Room, Yun Ming posted his stance.

[Yun Ming: It's still not too late now, is it? I'll wait for you to truly grow into your strength!]

[Tang San: No problem.]

[Huo Yuhao: All right!]

[Tang Wulin: I'll work hard.]

At that moment, during the Dragon King era, inside Shrek Academy, Ya Li sat beside Yun Ming and teased him. "Brother Ming, judging by their descriptions, it'll take them another ten-odd years to grow into their strength. Can you really keep waiting?"

"Of course. It's only ten-odd years. I can afford to wait that long," Yun Ming said with a smile. "The situation on Douluo Continent has stabilized now. A mere ten-odd years is nothing. I could even wait a hundred years!"

What left Yun Ming somewhat puzzled, however, was that he and Tang Wulin should have been powerful figures of the same era.

Had they never sparred?

"Is it because we both belong to Shrek Academy that we've never sparred?" Yun Ming murmured to himself.

Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue, who had been working up to it for a long time, suddenly turned toward Jiang Yan and asked.

"Then has Bibi Dong already become someone who doesn't care about anything?"

"No, Bibi Dong still cares about you," Jiang Yan suddenly said.

This startled everyone watching the Sky Screen.

From the earlier description, Bibi Dong had already gone mad, yet she still cared about Qian Renxue?

Outside the Sky Screen, during the Spirit Hall era, Qian Daoliu let out a deep sigh of relief upon hearing this answer.

Bibi Dong, who also heard this answer, had various emotions struggling in her eyes.

At that moment, within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue challenged this.

"Cares about me? That's impossible."

"In the final battle between gods, Bibi Dong used her own body to take Tang San's killing sword strike for you, to protect you," Jiang Yan said.

"Bibi Dong cares about you. She just doesn't know how to face you," Leng Yaozhu said.

"Exactly," Jiang Yan agreed. "Bibi Dong hated Qian Xunji so much, yet she never did anything to hurt you. Tang San loved Xiao Wu so much, but didn't he still split Xiao Wu's daughter into three parts in the end? So by comparison, what Bibi Dong did wasn't all that terrible."

At that moment, in the Sky Screen Livestream Room, everyone began poking fun at Tang San again.

[Meng Hongchen: Tang San really is ruthless. He could be that heavy-handed even with his own daughter!]

[Wang Dong'er: What daughter? Who's his daughter!]

[Tang San: ????]

At that moment, in the Modern Era, the anime happened to reach Ning Rongrong's moment of arrogance.

"Flender, who do you think you are? You're just a mere Soul Saint!"

Afterward, Flender began giving Ning Rongrong a thorough scolding, even belittling her as utterly worthless.

Outside the Sky Screen, only upon seeing this did Ning Rongrong suddenly see the light.

"Well, well! I was wondering how a mere Soul Saint like Flender dared to scold me back then. So he'd gotten Dad's permission!" Ning Rongrong now watched her former Little Demoness self.

That part of her nature belonging to the Little Demoness seemed to return to her heart.

As the anime continued playing, the plot soon reached the point where Flender took Tang San and the others to the Great Soul Arena and had them participate in Soul Fighting.

When Tang San and the others finished their Soul Fighting and were returning to the academy.

They happened to run into Dai Mubai and Ning Rongrong arguing.

"This is Shrek Academy, not your home," Dai Mubai said furiously.

"Oh, you suffered a setback yourself, and now you won't even let anyone mention it? You can't even handle a little girl. How useless," Ning Rongrong said haughtily.

"I'm warning you, other people might fear your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but I don't. Anger me, and I'll kill you!"

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Ning Rongrong taunted.

"You!" As Dai Mubai spoke, a streak of golden light gathered in his hand, sending Ning Rongrong flying in the process.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan suddenly cleared his throat twice.

"Actually, this part was cut. What Dai Mubai said in the original wasn't this."

"What did Dai Mubai say?" Ye Guyi asked curiously.

"I'll find the original text for you," Jiang Yan said.
