Chapter 133: Exposing Yu Xiaogang!
Hearing these words, Liu Erlong froze on the spot. She desperately wanted to know about Yu Xiaogang's whereabouts now!
Kong actually had information about Yu Xiaogang? This was something Liu Erlong hadn't expected at all.
"Fine, I'll shut up. I'll calm down. Now speak!"
At this moment, Liu Erlong just wanted Kong to finish quickly and tell her about Yu Xiaogang. Twenty years! A whole twenty years! Where exactly had Yu Xiaogang gone?
"Aunt Erlong, before we continue, can you tell me when Yu Luomian gave you this jade pendant?"
Kong pointed to the dragon-shaped jade pendant at Liu Erlong's waist and asked.
"This is my mother's keepsake; it wasn't given to me by Yu Luomian," Liu Erlong replied, puzzled.
Why would Kong suddenly ask about the jade pendant? Liu Erlong had worn this pendant since she was a child. She knew it was related to her biological father and was a keepsake from her mother, so she had always carried it with her.
Hearing this, Kong sighed inwardly. Liu Erlong was indeed deeply obsessed. Even after all he had said, she still hadn't considered that Yu Xiaogang also recognized this jade pendant?
"Aunt Erlong, to be honest, you're beyond saving. I'm beginning to feel like I don't want to waste my time with you anymore."
Kong shook his head and said.
Liu Erlong: "???"
What was this situation?
Liu Erlong's eyes widened in confusion. She didn't understand what Kong was saying at all!
"Ah, I know this jade pendant belongs to your father, Yu Luomian. As Yu Xiaogang is Yu Luomian's nephew, how could he not recognize that it belonged to your father?"
"Aunt Erlong, you're really too naive!"
Hearing these words, Liu Erlong's whole body trembled, her face darkened, and she fell into deep thought.
Yes, even Kong knew this jade pendant belonged to Yu Luomian. Yu Xiaogang had no reason not to know. But how was this related to what Kong was about to say?
So what if Yu Xiaogang knew? What difference did it make?
"You still don't understand."
"It seems I will have to reveal the truth to you myself."
Kong glanced at Liu Erlong before turning and walking to the side.
Seeing that Liu Erlong's eyes were fixed on him, not interrupting him, Kong finally spoke: "Yu Xiaogang, due to his innate spirit power, was destined never to become a strong warrior. Thus, he embarked on another path."
"Theoretical knowledge; you understand that, right?"
Liu Erlong remained indifferent. She knew these things, but what exactly was Kong trying to say?
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a relatively short history, so the theoretical knowledge within the clan is limited. After copying down all the clan's martial soul theories, Yu Xiaogang set his sights on the Spirit Hall."
"Given his status and power, it was impossible for him to access the core theoretical knowledge of the Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Liu Erlong nodded thoughtfully and said, "I know this, but what does it have to do with anything?"
"Please do not interrupt me!"
Kong said sternly, looking displeased. He hated being interrupted while speaking!
"Fine..."
Liu Erlong glanced at Kong, clearly unhappy.
"Since you already know, it will be easier to explain."
"In order to gain access to the knowledge within the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to set his sights on Bibi Dong, who was still a Holy Maiden at the time."
"It was naturally impossible to obtain permission to view that knowledge through normal means. So, Yu Xiaogang had a sudden idea: if he could pursue Bibi Dong, then wouldn't he be able to deceive her into allowing him to access the Spirit Hall's knowledge?"
Kong's words caused Liu Erlong's face to turn pale. She wasn't angry, nor did she interrupt. Instead, she fell into deep thought.
She knew about Yu Xiaogang's past relationship with Bibi Dong, but she had never realized that Yu Xiaogang pursued Bibi Dong primarily to gain access to the Spirit Hall's knowledge.
He shouldn't have stooped so low.
"The details of the pursuit aren't important. After achieving his goal, Yu Xiaogang obtained some knowledge from the Spirit Hall as he had hoped," Kong continued.
"This, however, provoked the displeasure of the then-Pope, Qian Xunji, who banished Yu Xiaogang from Spirit City and secretly told him that Bibi Dong no longer loved him."
"Without a second thought or the slightest hesitation, Yu Xiaogang left. His main purpose in the Spirit Hall was to acquire knowledge, not Bibi Dong's love. Naturally, he didn't care whether she still loved him or not."
"This information is all verifiable within the clan."
"To prove himself, Yu Xiaogang brought the knowledge he gained from the Spirit Hall back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Initially, the clan members couldn't believe that a mere Soul Grandmaster could possess such knowledge."
"As a result, they mocked Yu Xiaogang as a worthless theorist."
Liu Erlong: "..."
"The so-called maximum age limit for absorbing spirit rings—Yu Xiaogang came up with that, didn't he?"
Liu Erlong nodded silently.
"But how could a Soul Grandmaster like him know how many years of a spirit ring could be absorbed by a Soul Elder or even a quasi-Title Douluo?"
Liu Erlong was stunned, but a spark of realization flickered in her eyes. Sure, Yu Xiaogang might have been despicable in claiming the Spirit Hall's knowledge as his own, but he also contributed to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, didn't he? That was something the clan members couldn't deny, right?
Kong: "You...!"
If Kong knew what Liu Erlong was thinking, he probably wouldn't continue this conversation.
"After spending some time in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang couldn't bear the contemptuous gazes and insults, so he decided to roam the Douluo Continent."
"It was around that time he met Flender, who then introduced him to you."
"I don't know what was going through his mind the first time he saw you, but he certainly recognized that jade pendant at your waist."
"And then there's your martial soul, the mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon—the Fire Dragon martial soul."
"Can you tell me what his attitude was towards you before the three of you discovered your martial soul fusion ability?"
"He was hot and cold, acting like a stranger," Liu Erlong answered instinctively.
"And after you three unexpectedly discovered the tri-elemental martial soul fusion ability, how did he treat you then?"
Liu Erlong sank into contemplation: "..."
"He knew you were related to Yu Luomian, yet he still pursued you with a guilty conscience, just to gain dominance in the Golden Iron Triangle."
"With just three people, the horns of wisdom and slaughter join forces, leaving the horn of flight to simply go along with the flow."
"In truth, Yu Xiaogang didn't realize that he was already the dominant one in the Golden Iron Triangle."
"Your so-called Golden Iron Triangle merely uses you and Flender to awaken Luo San Pao's Golden Holy Dragon bloodline. Yu Xiaogang's strength is too weak to accomplish this on his own."
"Furthermore, martial soul fusion abilities do not distinguish between primary and secondary. They inevitably lead to mutual feelings..."
