Chapter 30: A Repeated Fate? Bibi Dong Is Too Excited!

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was about to confront Zhou Sheng'an, a scene played out in Bibi Dong's mind—all of Zhou Sheng'an's honors would be taken over by Yu Xiaogang!

The white moonlight in her heart, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, was the most outstanding!

Yu Xiaogang would publicly crush Zhou Sheng'an!

"I knew it, I knew it! Xiaogang is far superior to Zhou Sheng'an! How could I have ever doubted Xiaogang back then? I was just blinded by anger because of Zhou Sheng'an!"

Bibi Dong paced back and forth in her room, her face glowing with excitement.

At that moment, the simulation text updated again.

[On the eve of Yu Xiaogang's challenge against Zhou Sheng'an, Qian Renxue seeks you out for a conversation, which ends on bad terms.]

The scene shifted, and Bibi Dong appeared in the Martial Soul Hall of Heaven Dou City, meeting with Qian Renxue in her disguise as Xue Qinghe.

Once again, there were only the two of them in the grand hall.

Qian Renxue stared coldly at Bibi Dong and asked in a frosty voice, "That guy, Yu Xiaogang, suddenly announced his challenge so boldly. Are you backing him up behind the scenes? Did you give Zhou Sheng'an's theories to Yu Xiaogang?"

Bibi Dong let out a sneer. "Ridiculous! Who does Zhou Sheng'an think he is? Does he deserve my special favor toward Yu Xiaogang?"

"A fraud who built his reputation on lies! Do you really think the Martial Soul Supplementation Theory was researched by Zhou Sheng'an? How old is he? I've investigated—Zhou Sheng'an once made a deal with Yu Xiaogang back when he was in Nuoding Academy."

"Take a guess—what was that deal?"

Bibi Dong sneered again and again. She didn't even need to think about it—Zhou Sheng'an must have stolen Yu Xiaogang's theoretical achievements!

Qian Renxue, however, also smiled. She didn't know what deal had been made, but in the last simulation, Zhou Sheng'an had independently developed a theory that expanded soul power several times over!

The Soul Power Expansion Theory was in no way inferior to the Martial Soul Supplementation Theory.

Bibi Dong could claim credit for the Martial Soul Supplementation Theory on Yu Xiaogang's behalf, but she couldn't do the same for the Soul Power Expansion Theory. And that alone was enough to prove Zhou Sheng'an's talent!

Looking at Bibi Dong's smug expression, the corners of Qian Renxue's lips curled up. 'Go ahead and be proud. Soon, you'll be slapped in the face.'

"This had better not be the case."

Qian Renxue turned and left.

…

The next day.

Bibi Dong personally mobilized the Martial Soul Hall's resources to provide a venue for Zhou Sheng'an and Yu Xiaogang's debate, inviting representatives from various factions and ensuring order was maintained.

This level of privilege was something only Yu Xiaogang could enjoy.

On the high platform, Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.

Compared to Zhou Sheng'an's youthful handsomeness, his appearance was far from impressive.

Yet, seeing Yu Xiaogang put on his solemn facade, Bibi Dong was delighted—she just loved his cold and serious expression!

Bibi Dong sat in the audience, her entire body hidden under a cloak, unwilling to reveal her identity.

Beside her sat Spirit Kite Douluo.

Bibi Dong chuckled and said, "Lingyuan, even if Zhou Sheng'an's reputation is ruined, don't show your disgust toward him. Just follow the original plan. Understood?"

"Ah… alright." Spirit Kite Douluo nodded, looking at Zhou Sheng'an seated on the high platform, a trace of concern flashing in her eyes.

The other spectators in the audience had mixed thoughts as they watched the scene unfold. Those who believed in Zhou Sheng'an and those who believed in Yu Xiaogang were evenly split—after all, Zhou Sheng'an was simply too young!

Moreover, with that seductive face of his, it was hard for people to associate him with the title of Grand Sage Master.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, had a dignified and mature appearance. Just from looks alone, he seemed far more fitting for the title of Grand Sage Master!

At precisely ten o'clock, Yu Xiaogang suddenly opened his mouth and declared in a loud voice, "Let's begin. It's time for proof!"

He stared at Zhou Sheng'an, his expression unreadable, exuding a calm demeanor.

For this moment, he had prepared for so long.

Although he felt a little guilty toward Zhou Sheng'an, he couldn't endure anymore. Waiting for Tang San to rise to prominence would take decades!

But now, with the Martial Soul Supplementation Theory he had obtained from his past deal with Zhou Sheng'an, he could turn his life around immediately!

As for Zhou Sheng'an… young people need to suffer setbacks!

Hadn't he walked this same path before?

Yu Xiaogang took the initiative and said, "The Martial Soul Supplementation Theory was developed by both of us together. Zhou Sheng'an, do you acknowledge this? If not for me, you wouldn't have been able to come up with this theory!"

"No." Zhou Sheng'an flatly shook his head.

One was one, and two was two. If he hadn't used Yu Xiaogang's help, then he hadn't.

"Then tell me, how could someone as young as you have such insights? Yes, you have wild creativity, but you lack the foundation. And that foundation was provided by me!"

"Now, I will present my deductions on the Martial Soul Supplementation Theory. Over the years, I have never stopped my research!"

"If the theory's development was a hundred-step journey, you took the final step—but the ninety-nine steps before that were all mine!"

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, he displayed his so-called evidence.

Over the years, he had struggled to break through his cultivation limits, constantly making deductions—all failures, but still perfect to use as proof.

The documents he laid out on the platform clearly showed they had been written years ago.

The uninformed spectators, seeing this evidence, leaned toward believing Yu Xiaogang.

Ning Fengzhi nodded. "The title of Grandmaster is truly well-deserved. He only fell from grace due to some unforeseen circumstances. Compared to Zhou Sheng'an, I actually trust Grandmaster more."

"The evidence he provided is quite convincing," Sword Douluo agreed.

Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen's lips curled up slightly. If this truly was Yu Xiaogang's work, then they could rightfully reclaim him as part of the Yu Clan!

This was a monumental achievement!

Why was Zhou Sheng'an given the honor of the 'Sage' title? It was precisely because of the gratitude of all low-talent soul masters.

"If it was Xiaogang who did this, then our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will gain tremendous prestige." Yu Luomian chuckled.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly.

Bibi Dong clenched her fists tightly, watching the scene on the platform with tension. As expected, Xiaogang did not disappoint her!

No matter how deep in the mud he fell, he had never given up on the light!

Today was the day Yu Xiaogang would prove himself!

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red with excitement, his entire body trembling.

At this moment, he could already see his glorious comeback!

"Zhou Sheng'an! You are still young! You have a bright future ahead, and one day, you will surpass me. But you cannot, and should not, erase my contributions. You are not at fault, you are just too young, too self-centered…"

Yu Xiaogang spoke urgently.

He had to make this claim a reality!

Zhou Sheng'an quietly gazed at Yu Xiaogang, then swept his eyes across the audience, observing their varied expressions.

"The Martial Soul Supplementation Theory was entirely completed by me alone. Yu Xiaogang had no part in it whatsoever. As for the so-called theoretical foundation he speaks of—I merely traded him for his collection of books, which originally came from the Martial Soul Hall's archives…"

Zhou Sheng'an's voice was unhurried and calm.
