Chapter 40: A Rotten White Moonlight — Bibi Dong's Utter Disappointment
Hearing this, Bibi Dong froze for a moment, her mind briefly going blank.
If she remembered correctly, Yu Xiaogang was only a Rank 29 Soul Grandmaster.
With such strength, where did he get the confidence to say something so outrageous? Was he relying on her lingering feelings for him to speak so arrogantly?
"Destroy Spirit Hall?"
"What empty bragging. With that Luo Sanpao of yours that only knows how to fart?"
Bibi Dong's words were as sharp as poison. With just a single sentence, Yu Xiaogang was left speechless.
Since Yu Xiaogang refused to give her any face, then she, Bibi Dong would not be polite either.
Her words were like knives, stabbing straight into Yu Xiaogang's heart.
'What's going on? Shouldn't this foolish woman Bibi Dong admire me deeply?'
'Why is she speaking to me so harshly? Damn it, I knew Bibi Dong wasn't a good woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have abandoned me so heartlessly back then.'
Yu Xiaogang slowly clenched his fists, his heart filled with dissatisfaction toward Bibi Dong, along with resentment toward the unfairness of fate.
Why, why did everyone in the world look down on his martial soul and strength? And now, even Bibi Dong, his so-called former lover, was mocking him over it.
Yet he had no way to refute her.
His Luo Sanpao really only knew how to fart.
Even if Sanpao were to launch a furious attack on Spirit Hall, it would only stink up the entire place.
"Hmph, Bibi Dong, don't underestimate me."
"Don't forget my talent. My theories can create countless geniuses. If I wish, I can cultivate endless Soul Master prodigies and make you regret what you've done today."
As if remembering his own "talent," Yu Xiaogang continued threatening Bibi Dong.
That's right, he, Yu Xiaogang, had no cultivation talent and no strength, but he possessed world-shocking intellect, and his theoretical knowledge stood unmatched across the continent.
On the Douluo Continent, he was even honored with the title of Grandmaster.
A wise man like him surely even Spirit Hall would not dare ignore him.
Otherwise, with his theoretical knowledge, he could bring enormous trouble to Spirit Hall.
Theoretical knowledge… Is that really your own talent?
Bibi Dong murmured inwardly, recalling the contents of Lin Chen's diary, as well as the time Yu Xiaogang had browsed Spirit Hall's archives accumulated over thousands of years.
Now, she had to admit that Yu Xiaogang's theoretical knowledge was entirely plagiarized.
Moreover, when she thought about the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls Yu Xiaogang had published, she could easily spot many flaws upon careful reflection.
Yu Xiaogang had not been satisfied with merely copying Spirit Hall's millennium-old theoretical knowledge. His ambition was great — he wanted to claim that knowledge as his own and establish a new school of thought.
That way, Yu Xiaogang's name would be passed down through the ages, and future generations of Soul Masters would admire his brilliance.
What an honor that would be.
But he had overestimated his own abilities. After copying Spirit Hall's theoretical knowledge, he reorganized it into something neither here nor there.
After figuring this out, Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang again and found her heart as calm as still water.
After so many years, meeting Yu Xiaogang again made her realize that her once-beloved white moonlight had already rotted away.
What she now saw was the ugly soul hidden beneath — hypocritical, arrogant, ungrateful, and unbearable.
It filled her with disgust.
'Enough. My only goal now is to realize my grand ambition, become a god, and roam the world.'
After sorting out her thoughts, Bibi Dong became resolute. She would become a career-driven woman, not a foolish girl obsessed with love.
"Yu Xiaogang, your disciple Tang San, I, Bibi Dong, will definitely kill."
"I'd like to see how you destroy my Spirit Hall."
"And next time you see me, please pay attention to your appearance."
Bibi Dong looked disdainfully at Yu Xiaogang's soaked lower body.
'A mere eunuch, yet he dares to bark in front of me. If not for old feelings, this Pope would have already executed you on the spot.'
"Bibi Dong, you…!"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened in anger. His trembling finger pointed at Bibi Dong as he spoke with a shaking voice.
"Yu Xiaogang, address me as Your Holiness the Pope!"
Holding the Pope's staff in her hand, Bibi Dong looked down at Yu Xiaogang with an arrogant expression.
At the same time—
The soul power pressure belonging to a Super Douluo was slightly released. In an instant, Yu Xiaogang, who had just straightened his back and stood upright, was forced to his knees again.
"If there is a next time, you will be severely punished!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong left the place, continuing to search for Tang Hao and Tang San.
Only Yu Xiaogang remained behind, his face twisted with unwillingness as he shouted hoarsely:
"Bibi Dong! One day, I will definitely make you regret this!"
…
After a long while—
Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei gathered once again in the sky above Nuoding Academy.
"Your Holiness, Tang Hao's escape ability is too strong. Gui Mei and I were completely unable to find any trace of Tang Hao and Tang San."
Standing in midair, Yue Guan slightly bowed toward Bibi Dong, his expression somewhat nervous.
Tang Hao was a power-attack system Titled Douluo, and his soul power rank was even lower than theirs. Logically speaking, he should not excel at escaping.
But Tang Hao was different.
The dignified Clear Sky Douluo ran astonishingly fast.
Even with Yue Guan and Gui Mei searching with all their strength, they could not detect any trace of Tang Hao's escape.
The method was unexpectedly skilled, leaving him at a loss.
The moment Yue Guan finished speaking, a powerful soul power pressure descended upon him.
Yue Guan let out a muffled groan and did not dare say another word.
But soon, the pressure disappeared just as quickly as it had come.
"Today's operation ends here. You two return to Spirit Hall shortly."
"Since we failed to eliminate Tang Hao and Tang San today, they will surely become extremely cautious in the future. Eliminating them will be far more difficult."
After saying this, Bibi Dong seemed to recall something and continued:
"Oh, right, increase the bounty on Tang Hao."
"And as for Tang San, send someone to Nuoding Academy to determine his appearance."
"Then issue the highest-level bounty order. Anyone who discovers Tang San's whereabouts will be rewarded."
Even now, Bibi Dong still did not know what Tang San this potentially enormous threat looked like.
"Yes, Your Holiness."
After receiving Bibi Dong's orders, Yue Guan and Gui Mei nodded slightly, and their figures gradually disappeared from the area.
'Lin Chen… today I'll finally meet you.'
'Every time in that diary, you slander this Pope as a foolish woman, a madwoman.'
'Let's see if I don't give you a scare today — something you'll never forget.'
Bibi Dong looked down toward Nuoding Academy, thinking about meeting Lin Chen, the diary owner.
Wasn't Lin Chen quite arrogant when writing in that diary? He showed no respect for her at all, calling her a foolish woman again and again.
Now, she wanted to see what kind of reaction Lin Chen would have when he actually met her in person.
Although she could not harm Lin Chen, giving him a scare shouldn't be a problem.
