The attention of the female protagonists soon shifted to another shocking revelation: the current Pope, Bibi Dong, was actually a love-struck woman!
This was groundbreaking gossip!
At that moment, far away in Spirit Hall within Spirit City, Bibi Dong's face was ice-cold as she stared at the diary before her. Standing nearby was the future Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena.
Hu Liena, trembling with fear, didn't dare to move an inch.
Both Bibi Dong and Hu Liena owned diaries and were aware of each other's ownership, something they had discovered by accident.
It seemed that if two people both had a diary, it wasn't much of an issue even if they found out about each other. They could even see the virtual black diary in front of the other person.
At that moment, Bibi Dong gripped her Pope's scepter tightly, trying to suppress herself.
Meanwhile, when the diary mentioned Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong's feelings were very complicated. She had learned later that Bibi Dong was Yu Xiaogang's first love. Even though they no longer had any relationship, Liu Erlong still felt jealous in her heart.
Just when the female protagonists thought Su Ming was going to dive deep into Bibi Dong's love life, he surprisingly decided not to continue in that direction, instead focusing on Yu Xiaogang.
[Deep down, I somewhat agree with Yu Xiaogang's decision to make these theories public. At least it allowed commoners to learn more about martial soul cultivation, which helped reduce the likelihood of them being restricted by clans.]
[However, I despise how Yu Xiaogang claimed these theories as his own. In reality, they were just theories he copied from the Spirit Hall archives, taking advantage of Bibi Dong's affection. He only added a few of his own ideas, and his originality is extremely low!]
[With Yu Xiaogang's abilities, all he could do was research trivial matters like whether people with Blue Silver Grass martial souls had innate soul power, and if so, what their initial soul power levels were. Who would seriously study this stuff?]
[As for more advanced theories, they're beyond his reach. Take, for instance, the process of absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, where the soul master has to withstand the resentment of the ten-thousand-year soul beast after its death—he knows nothing about that!]
[Since Yu Xiaogang dared to make public the theories he compiled in Spirit Hall, he should have been prepared to face opposition from the major clans across the continent.]
[In fact, if it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's protection, Yu Xiaogang might have already been killed by people from those clans.]
[This was the speculation of netizens in my previous life regarding why Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
[After all, Yu Xiaogang was the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even if he was a mutated martial soul failure stuck at rank 29, it wouldn't have been enough reason to expel him from the clan.]
[So, it's highly likely that Yu Yuanzhen was forced to send Yu Xiaogang away.]
[But Yu Xiaogang didn't understand the real reason for his expulsion. He thought it was because he was too weak, that he didn't awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and instead awakened a pig-like martial soul called 'Luo Sanpao,' which wasn't recognized by the clan, leading to his exile.]
[This is why he was so determined to find a monstrous disciple, have them acknowledge him as their master, and pass on his theories. When his disciple eventually became a Titled Douluo, he could finally prove to the world—and his family—that he wasn't useless, and that the disciple he trained surpassed most of them!]
In Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong felt relieved when she saw that Su Ming hadn't continued to write about her past. She really didn't want her previous history to be revealed in the diary.
Now that she knew Hu Liena also had a diary, she realized that many of the girls mentioned in the diary likely had one too. The thought of her past being exposed to them made her dread a social death!
If Su Ming truly wrote about her past, Bibi Dong feared she wouldn't be able to stop herself from killing him. Of course, that was just a fleeting thought. The power of the diary was beyond her control!
To this day, Bibi Dong still hadn't figured out the purpose behind the diary's appearance or why she had one. However, she couldn't deny that the soul power rewards every seven days were incredibly tempting!
Although Bibi Dong had only gained a thousandth of her soul power from the diary so far, given her already high level, that boost was not insignificant. It had helped restore some of the strength she'd lost during the Rakshasa God's trial.
(Bibi Dong was currently undergoing the God Trial of the Rakshasa God, which was taking an exceptionally long time without external help.)
Hu Liena, standing beside her, also breathed a sigh of relief. Bibi Dong's aura earlier had been terrifying.
Just then, the diary continued to update.
[At this point, Tang San appeared. Not only that, but he was a twin martial soul wielder, meeting Yu Xiaogang's expectations and even surpassing them!]
[Thus, we saw what happened today—Yu Xiaogang wanted to take Tang San as his disciple to clear his own name!]
[But here, I have to harshly criticize Yu Xiaogang. Tang San had twin martial souls, a heaven-defying talent, and his father was Tang Hao, a man with half the bloodline of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. Even without Yu Xiaogang's guidance, as long as he didn't die young, Tang San would start at Titled Douluo. He doesn't need any teaching from Yu Xiaogang!]
[As for theoretical knowledge, if Tang Hao had taken Tang San back to the Clear Sky Clan earlier, revealed his twin martial souls, and sincerely apologized, the elders of the clan would have fully supported this genius. The clan leader was Tang San's uncle!]
[So, there was no need to worry about theory. Even if that didn't happen, Tang San could slowly learn the knowledge from his academy. Without Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao would have stepped in to ensure his son's future.]
The female protagonists reading Su Ming's analysis agreed with him. If Yu Xiaogang really wanted to prove himself, he shouldn't be trying to raise a prodigy.
These prodigies would achieve great things with or without him!
For example, Bibi Dong herself, also a twin martial soul wielder, had reached the Titled Douluo level with the vast resources of Spirit Hall. She even figured out how to resolve the conflict between twin martial souls. Later, when Yu Xiaogang wanted to solve Tang San's issue with his twin martial souls, he had to go to Spirit Hall to beg Bibi Dong for help.
If Yu Xiaogang truly had the ability, he should have found a way to solve the problem himself, instead of shamelessly going to Bibi Dong for help!
The female protagonists also believed that if Yu Xiaogang really wanted to prove himself, he should find a disciple with a talent similar to his own and train them to success, or break through his own rank 29 limitation, shedding the title of a useless cultivator. Only then could he truly clear his name!
