Hearing Bi Bi Dong's threat, Ye Tian's tightly closed eyelids trembled noticeably.
Cold sweat broke out on his back.
What he had given Bi Bi Dong was actually the latter half of the Law of Heredity.
He wasn't sure if it would be enough to intimidate her.
Otherwise,
he would likely suffer some physical punishment.
The air remained silent for a long time as Ye Tian awaited judgment.
But Bi Bi Dong was holding the notebook,
her eyes wide with shock.
Rustle—rustle—rustle—
The frantic flipping of pages made Ye Tian feel relieved.
He couldn't help but pat his chest in relief.
"!!!"
Bi Bi Dong stared blankly at the booklet in her hands, her pupils shaking.
She finally understood why Yue Guan had been so obsessed.
This thing that pointed directly to the essence of life—even she, an outsider, found it astonishingly profound!
How did this kid Ye Tian manage to do this?!
She hadn't thought much of it before,
but now,
looking at the surroundings, Bi Bi Dong felt as if everything was imbued with the fundamental principles of heaven and earth.
Could someone Ye Tian's age really accomplish such a thing?
"Hoo—"
Bi Bi Dong adjusted her breathing,
and as she looked at Ye Tian's back, she actually felt an urge to worship him.
The title of "Theoretical Master"—
Ye Tian truly deserved it!
He was even more worthy of being called the strongest theorist in the Soul Master Realm!
Bi Bi Dong's prolonged silence
made Ye Tian's recently calmed heart start pounding again.
Unable to resist, he lifted his right eyelid and rolled his eyes,
glancing at Bi Bi Dong.
He even reached out to scratch his little butt.
This comical movement
completely shattered the imposing aura he had just built up.
Their eyes met for only a moment.
Ye Tian hurriedly closed his eyes, feeling smug, and asked lightly,
"What does Teacher think of this theory?"
"..."
Looking at Ye Tian's overly mature demeanor, Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but curl her lips into a cold smile.
Her earlier expression had been completely unnecessary!
To have been seen through by Ye Tian...
She felt the shame of a teacher being surpassed by her student!
"Ye Tian!"
Bi Bi Dong growled softly and slowly raised her foot.
"Who's the teacher here, you or me? You've got quite the attitude!"
"!!!"
Ye Tian's body swayed,
as if suddenly bearing a thousand-pound weight, his heart nearly stopping.
Clearly,
his little antics had been noticed by Bi Bi Dong.
This was really bad!
Ye Tian inwardly groaned, but on his face, he put on a standard toothy smile.
"Hehe..."
Ye Tian laughed.
Turning his head to look at the jade-like foot stepping on his right shoulder, he said with a hint of humility,
"Teacher, could you be a little gentler?"
"Heh~"
Bi Bi Dong wore a gentle smile.
"Of course, no problem. After all, you are my dear disciple~"
Before she finished speaking,
the slender, beautiful foot on Ye Tian's shoulder—amidst those soft, gentle words—
suddenly began to exert force!
Ye Tian grinned, smiling as he accepted his impending fate.
His body uncontrollably began to flip over.
"Ah—ouch!"
Ye Tian tumbled all the way to the side of the screen.
The Dust Whisk behind him burst out
and landed at Bi Bi Dong's feet.
"??!"
Bi Bi Dong was stunned; her foot hadn't even fully landed.
She hadn't used much force at all.
She only meant to kick this unfilial disciple down, so how did he end up rolling away?
"Ouch—that really hurts!"
Ye Tian clutched his lower back, curled up on the ground, scratching incessantly.
"How much medicine would it take to cure this!"
Hearing this.
Bi Bi Dong understood immediately.
This scoundrel was trying to extort her!
"Stop pretending with me!"
Bi Bi Dong instantly snapped coldly, having no patience for such tricks.
She kicked Ye Tian's Dust Whisk over to him.
Issuing her command without waiting for a response:
"You get one day off today. Rewrite the first half of this theory. As for the second half, I'll extract it myself and return it after I finish copying."
With these words.
Bi Bi Dong turned and left without caring whether Ye Tian agreed or not.
Only when opening the door did she suddenly remember something.
With a graceful flick of her wrist—
Thud—!
The money pouch Bi Bi Dong casually tossed toward Ye Tian landed on the floor.
"Here are two thousand Gold Soul Coins."
"Aside from these iron tools, your teacher will cover everything else!"
Swish—
Hearing the clinking of coins inside the pouch.
Ye Tian immediately rolled over and scooped it up.
His face lit up with joy.
Acquiring these items had depleted over ninety percent of his assets.
This was truly a godsend!
"Thank you, Teacher!"
"Hmph!"
Bi Bi Dong snorted coldly, slammed the door shut, and vanished.
"Haha... Those who know how to play the game eat well!"
Ye Tian gazed triumphantly at the golden gleam in the money pouch, unable to put it down.
Click.
Ye Tian instinctively glanced toward the door.
"Huh?"
Under his gaze, the door cracked open slightly.
A delicate hand reached in,
retrieving the shoes she had taken off earlier.
Followed by a frustrated scolding that drifted into the room:
"Hmph! Shameless!"
Slam!
As the voice faded, the door shut firmly.
"Heh... So what if it's shameless? Doesn't that prove I have ambition?"
Ye Tian chuckled dismissively.
Back in the day, though he hadn't entered the workforce yet, he understood the principle:
Anyone with ambition
would inevitably do shameless things.
Ye Tian found this reasoning quite sound—close enough to the truth.
"Sigh—"
Ye Tian picked up the Dust Whisk and rested it on his arm, slowly exhaling.
Looking at the gold and silver in his hand,
he couldn't help but laugh.
"This treasure has a connection with this humble Taoist~ Haha!"
With money,
he could invest more effectively, especially while others were still inexperienced.
—
As the minor commotion ended, the morning sun grew intense.
Rarely having free time.
Ye Tian didn't go out but instead buried himself at his desk.
While refining Marrow Cleansing Pills.
After duplicating the first half of the theory.
He began drafting feasible weapon blueprints, preparing to develop his own firepower.
The designs weren't overly complex.
But Ye Tian had little prior exposure, having only glimpsed some flowcharts.
He had a general idea.
He could start with something simple, like the Raby Gun.
With Soul Power enhancement,
it could launch projectiles hundreds of meters!
Still, since it was self-developed,
Ye Tian didn't expect exceptional power.
He didn't aim to rival Spirit Saints, but it should at least outperform that Zhuge Crossbow, right?
Otherwise, how embarrassing would that be...
"..."
As Ye Tian sketched his designs, planning to surprise Bi Bi Dong and the others again,
Bi Bi Dong was busy transcribing the genetic theory.
Meanwhile, atop the Central Divine Mountain.
A certain young girl in the Hall of Worship was growing restless.
Jin Yue'er had already finished her medicine.
Qian Renxue's supply was also nearly depleted due to her persistent pestering.
If she went without it for even a moment—
Jin Yue'er felt uncomfortable all over.
"Sister Xue, are you done with your cultivation? How about we go find Ye Tian to play later?"
"..."
