The female characters quickly shifted their focus to another major revelation—Bibi Dong, the current Pope, was described as a "love-struck fool"! This was explosive news!
Meanwhile, far away in Wuhun City's Wuhun Hall, Bibi Dong was glaring at her journal with a frosty expression. Next to her stood the future Saintess of Wuhun Hall, Hu Liena.
Hu Liena was trembling, too scared to even move.
Both Bibi Dong and Hu Liena possessed journals, and they knew that the other had one as well. This was something they had discovered by accident. It seemed that if two people had the journals, they could see each other's ethereal black journal without any consequences.
At this moment, Bibi Dong was gripping her Pope's scepter tightly, trying her best to control herself.
Seeing Bibi Dong mentioned in Su Ming's journal, Liu Erlong's feelings were complicated. She had learned much later that Bibi Dong was Yu Xiaogang's first love. Although they no longer had any connection, Liu Erlong still felt jealous.
Just when the female characters thought Su Ming would dive deeper into Bibi Dong's love-struck past, he didn't. Instead, he continued writing about Yu Xiaogang.
[Deep down, I somewhat agree with Yu Xiaogang's decision to publish his theories. At the very least, it provided commoners with more information on martial soul cultivation, reducing the chance of them being controlled by the sects.]
[However, I despise how Yu Xiaogang claimed these theories as his own. These theories were simply copied from Wuhun Hall's archives thanks to Bibi Dong's love for him. At most, he added a few of his own ideas, but the originality was extremely low!]
[With Yu Xiaogang's weak strength, all he could really research were things like whether soul masters with Blue Silver Grass martial souls had soul power and what their typical innate soul power level was. Would anyone else waste their time researching this?]
[As for higher-level theories, those were beyond his reach. For example, regarding the absorption of ten-thousand-year soul rings, soul masters must withstand the resentment of the ten-thousand-year soul beast during the absorption process. Yu Xiaogang wouldn't know about this!]
[And since Yu Xiaogang dared to publish the theories he copied from Wuhun Hall, he should have been prepared to be targeted by the major sects on the continent.]
[In fact, if it weren't for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan protecting him, Yu Xiaogang would likely have been beaten to death by now.]
[That was the speculation of people in my previous life about why Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
[Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang is the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even if his martial soul mutated and he was stuck at level 29, that wouldn't be enough to get him expelled.]
[So, it's highly possible that Yu Yuanzhen was forced to have Yu Xiaogang leave the clan.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang doesn't understand why he was expelled. He thinks it's because he's a useless soul master who didn't awaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul and instead awakened a pig-like martial soul called Luo San Pao, which wasn't recognized by his clan.]
[And that's why he's so desperate to find a prodigy to train as his disciple. He believes that if his disciple one day becomes a Titled Douluo, he'll be able to prove to the world—and to his family—that he's not useless and that the disciple he trained surpassed most of them.]
In Wuhun Hall, Bibi Dong sighed in relief when Su Ming didn't delve further into her past. She really didn't want her old history to be exposed in the journal.
Now that she knew Hu Liena also had a journal, it seemed likely that many other female characters mentioned in the journal possessed one as well. Bibi Dong had no desire to be publicly humiliated!
If Su Ming did reveal her past, Bibi Dong feared she might be tempted to kill him, although she knew it was an impossible fantasy. The power of the journal was beyond her control.
Even now, Bibi Dong still didn't fully understand the purpose of the journal or why she had one. But one thing was certain—the regular soul power rewards from the journal were irresistible!
Although Bibi Dong had only received a boost of one-thousandth of her soul power in the last reward, her power level was already high. That small increase had greatly aided her recovery during the lengthy Rakshasa God Trial, which had caused a temporary drop in her strength.
(At this point, Bibi Dong is undergoing her God Trial for the Rakshasa God, which is known to be an incredibly long process.)
Hu Liena, standing nearby, also let out a quiet breath of relief. Bibi Dong's aura moments ago had been terrifying.
At that moment, the journal updated again.
[Now that Tang San has appeared as a twin martial soul holder, he fits Yu Xiaogang's expectations perfectly—perhaps even exceeding them!]
[That's why we have the scene today where Yu Xiaogang tries to take Tang San as his disciple, hoping that one day Tang San will redeem him.]
[But here's where I have to harshly criticize Yu Xiaogang. Tang San has twin martial souls, extraordinary talent, and his father is Tang Hao. He even has half the bloodline of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. Even without Yu Xiaogang's teachings, as long as he survives, Tang San's future is guaranteed to start at Titled Douluo. Why would he need Yu Xiaogang's help?]
[As for teaching Tang San theoretical knowledge, if Tang Hao brought him back to the Clear Sky Sect and showed his twin martial souls while sincerely apologizing, the sect's elders would certainly go all out to train this prodigy. And the sect master is Tang San's uncle!]
[So theory wouldn't be a problem at all. Even if that didn't happen, Tang San could learn all the necessary theory at the academy. Without Yu Xiaogang, Tang Hao would still step in to ensure Tang San's future.]
The female characters reading the journal found Su Ming's analysis very logical. If Yu Xiaogang truly wanted to prove himself, he shouldn't be looking for a prodigy to train.
Because these prodigies would have extraordinary achievements even without him!
For example, take Bibi Dong, who also had twin martial souls. With all of Wuhun Hall's resources at her disposal, she still reached the level of Titled Douluo. Not only that, she even figured out how to solve the conflict between her twin martial souls. Later, Yu Xiaogang went to beg Bibi Dong for help in solving Tang San's twin martial soul problem!
If Yu Xiaogang were truly capable, he should have found a way to solve the issue himself instead of shamelessly asking Bibi Dong for help!
The female characters agreed—if Yu Xiaogang really wanted to prove himself, he should find a disciple with similar talent to his own and train them to greatness. Or, he should break through his level 29 bottleneck and shed his reputation as a useless soul master. Only then could he truly redeem himself!
