Chapter 263: Yu Xiaogang: "You lunatic!"

Chapter 263: Yu Xiaogang: "You lunatic!"

"Yu Xiaogang, don't you know that Tang Hao was already killed by Yu Tiankong?"

Bibi Dong's expression was extremely strange as she spoke. Thinking about it carefully, it actually seemed to be true. If Tang San and Yu Xiaogang had known about this, they wouldn't have participated in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.

It would have been even more impossible for them to stay at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Oh, so you and Tang San really didn't know!"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang froze, his entire demeanor turning dazed and disoriented.

Tang Hao—who was he?

He was the one who had "killed" the previous Pope, Qian Xunji!

How could he possibly have been killed by Yu Tiankong?

Wait, killed by Tiankong?

Emmm…

That didn't seem possible either!

But then, why would Tiankong kill Tang Hao?

Tiankong was the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. By that logic, they were on the same side.

Wasn't this just stabbing an ally in the back?

Why on earth would he kill Tang Hao?

No, wait… could it be that Tang Hao wanted to clear the obstacles for Tang San, so he decided to kill Tiankong, but in the end, he was counter-killed by that purple-haired woman beside Tiankong?

As this thought surfaced, Yu Xiaogang's eyelid twitched, and he let out a helpless bitter smile.

This was truly despairing!

"So, it seems you've accepted this outcome. Speaking of which, Yu Tiankong is still the young master of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—oh, wait, I almost forgot, you've already been expelled from the clan!"

"Haha..."

Yu Xiaogang's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

Damn it!

You don't hit people in the face when fighting, and you don't expose their wounds when insulting them!

Bibi Dong was rubbing salt into his wounds!

"Oh, by the way, I won't kill you just yet. I'll let you watch everything you cherish get destroyed before your very eyes!"

"Tang San is still young—he has plenty of time. Now, let's talk about your so-called theoretical knowledge."

Bibi Dong's lips curled slightly.

What did Yu Xiaogang care about the most?

It wasn't the honor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—that could be ruled out.

It also wasn't whether Tang San would succeed.

It was his theories!

That's right, the thing Yu Xiaogang valued above all else had always been his theoretical knowledge and fantasies.

Most of these theories were actually just knowledge already mastered by the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Xiaogang had simply compiled them and claimed them as his own.

He didn't even know what soul shock was, so how could he possibly determine the precise age limit for absorbing spirit rings?

Yu Xiaogang's books were indeed useful for most commoners since they exposed much of the Spirit Hall's and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's knowledge.

However, he himself wasn't a powerful soul master, which was why he was often mocked.

If you're not even a strong soul master, how did you manage to compile all these books? Weren't they just your wild guesses?

As the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fengzhi would have been fully aware of Yu Xiaogang's theories.

Calling Yu Xiaogang "Master" was simply the original work giving face to Tang San, who had great potential.

Similarly, the Heaven Dou Empire wasn't stupid. Giving some respect to Yu Xiaogang as Tang San's teacher was equivalent to giving face to Tang San himself.

His books did contain useful knowledge—because they were based on the research results of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall.

But at the same time, some of the contents were completely useless—they were nothing more than Yu Xiaogang's baseless conjectures.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically.

In an instant, he became hysterical and roared at Bibi Dong:

"Bibi Dong, you devil! You can't do this! This is my life's work!"

"My theories are unparalleled! Didn't you used to believe in them the most?"

"My theories! My talent—"

"Enough!"

"What do you mean, 'yours'? That knowledge was accumulated by the Spirit Hall over ten thousand years and by generations of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Bibi Dong had no intention of indulging Yu Xiaogang. She scolded him coldly.

If she hadn't been obsessed with training in her youth and neglected reading, she wouldn't have been fooled by Yu Xiaogang, who had merely taken others' knowledge and claimed it as his own.

Did Yu Xiaogang have talent?

He did—but only a little.

After all, he had read so many books. He had to have learned something.

"You… you're a devil…"

"Because of you and Qian Xunji, I've already become a devil! You forced me into this!"

"Oh, I'm not interested in discussing this with you anymore."

"I will now have all your books removed from the Spirit Hall's treasury and burned to ashes!"

"Oh, and as for the ones you've already published, I will make sure the Spirit Hall spreads the word—you are nothing but a complete fraud!"

"You lunatic…"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intensely at Bibi Dong, his molars nearly grinding to pieces!

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

The Heaven Dou team had safely arrived in Heaven Dou City, after which everyone went their separate ways.

Along the journey, they hadn't encountered any danger—not even a single bandit.

Bandits: "You really think too highly of us..."

"What? I graduated?"

Tang San looked at Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and the others with a bewildered expression, asking in confusion.

Others could apply for graduation, or they could choose not to for the time being. Since he was still under thirty, he could continue idling away his days at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

But he had just returned!

He, the third-place winner of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, had just come back!

And now, Meng Shenji was telling him that he had graduated?

The message was clear—pack up and leave Heaven Dou Royal Academy!

"Yes, Tang San. Your strength has already reached the Soul King level. In the history of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, you're among the best."

"Since that's the case, there's no need for you to stay at the academy any longer."

Meng Shenji spoke with a smile, showing no intention of driving Tang San away.

Not once did he say Tang San had to leave, but every sentence was pushing him out the door!

Tang San: "…"

He had brought Heaven Dou Royal Academy third place in the tournament. He was a great contributor!

And now, the academy was kicking him out with a single push?

"Understood, esteemed elders!"

With that, Tang San turned and left. The moment he stepped out of the office, he clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing red!

He would make these old fools regret this—he swore it!

Inside the office, the expressions of the three elders changed, their smiles fading.

"Offending Tang San like this might cause trouble. He is, after all, the successor of the Hao Tian Clan."

"What's done is done. It's not like there's any deep-seated hatred between us—it won't amount to much. At worst, he'll just hold a grudge against us three old men."

"We're already this old. Are we supposed to be afraid of some kid's resentment? A wolf that bites the hand that feeds it can never be tamed!"

"Well said!"

"That aside, our Heaven Dou Royal Academy won the championship this time!"

"And it's all thanks to that kid, Tiankong!"

"What do you two think? Should we show some appreciation?"

"Of course! Our academy's rewards may not be as lavish as the Spirit Hall's, but they certainly shouldn't be too modest either…"
