Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Yu Xiaogang: If I Can Train a Genius, I Can Redeem Myself!

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!


Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Becoming the Boss of Dorm 7, Su Ming’s Promise

Su Ming quickly arrived at Dorm 7, the dormitory assigned to him at Notting Academy. Dorm 7 was specifically for work-study students. With Su Ming's current wealth, he could easily afford to pay for a private room, but he chose not to.

One reason was that Xiao Wu would most likely be assigned to Dorm 7 as well. Another reason, of course, was Tang San.

Since both Su Ming and Tang San were from Holy Soul Village, it wouldn't make sense for Su Ming to have so much money. If Su Ming moved to a private room, it would raise suspicions.

Tang San would wonder where Su Ming got the money and why he would still take the work-study spot if he had enough wealth to live comfortably.

Su Ming didn't want to provoke Tang San yet—not because he feared Tang San's hidden weapons. At the moment, Tang San's hidden weapons were still relatively low-level, and with Su Ming's current strength, he could easily avoid them or even defeat Tang San.

What he was truly wary of was Tang Hao, hiding in the shadows. Su Ming didn't yet have the power to contend with a Titled Douluo. A simple burst of pressure from Tang Hao would be enough to immobilize him.

For now, Su Ming's focus was on writing his daily journal entries to earn rewards. Of course, he also needed to continue his soul power cultivation and practice his wood release abilities. He wouldn't let the presence of the system make him complacent.

With the system's support and his own effort, Su Ming was confident he could quickly increase his strength. After all, he knew that conflict with Tang San was inevitable at some point, and he needed to be fully prepared.

Another important reason for staying in Dorm 7 was that he didn't want Xiao Wu and Tang San to sleep in the same bed for six years!

Since he had crossed into the world of Douluo, those beautiful female characters wouldn't have any connection with Tang San.

Xiao Wu would be easy to approach. Even though she was a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, she was quite innocent, having lived in the heart of the Star Dou Forest under the protection of her mother, Da Ming, and Er Ming.

The door to Dorm 7 opened.

As Su Ming entered, he immediately caught the attention of the other boys in the dorm.

Everyone stared at him for a moment before one of them stood up and said, "You must be the new work-study student. Let's have a fight."

Su Ming guessed that this boy was Wang Sheng, but he politely smiled and asked, "This is our first time meeting. My name is Su Ming. What's yours, and why do we need to fight?"

Wang Sheng, seeing how polite Su Ming was, responded, "My name is Wang Sheng. I'm currently the leader of Dorm 7. We have a rule here—every new person has to fight the dorm leader. If you win, you become the new leader."

"We have this rule because we're work-study students, and we need a strong leader to protect us from the noble students."

Su Ming nodded in understanding. In the original story, the head of the noble students was a character named Xiao Chenyu, whose father was the lord of Notting City. Soon after Tang San's arrival, Dorm 7 clashed with him.

Tang San eventually defeated Xiao Chenyu and made Xiao Wu the new leader of Notting Academy.

Su Ming thought about it for a moment and agreed. Becoming the leader of Dorm 7 had its benefits.

First, he would gain Wang Sheng and the other boys as underlings. Although they weren't strong, they could at least run errands. More importantly, as the leader, he'd have a reason to spar with Tang San and gauge his current strength. It was important to test the waters and see what he was dealing with.

Besides, Su Ming had received body technique mastery from the system and hadn't yet had a chance to practice it properly. Wang Sheng could be his warm-up.

Wang Sheng: "Thanks a lot!"

The two prepared for their match, and Su Ming said, "Go ahead, attack first. You won't get another chance."

Wang Sheng scoffed, "Arrogant!"

He then charged at Su Ming, aiming a punch at Su Ming's stomach.

"Come on, leader, get him!" the other boys in Dorm 7 cheered.

It was clear that Wang Sheng was well-liked among the work-study students, as they all encouraged him.

But Su Ming thought to himself, Unfortunately for them, they're about to get a new leader.

Remaining calm, Su Ming sidestepped Wang Sheng's punch and grabbed his arm. He bent slightly and, with a quick motion, performed an over-the-shoulder throw.

"Bang!"

Wang Sheng landed heavily on the ground.

"Cough, cough."

Su Ming helped Wang Sheng up and said, "Looks like I won."

Wang Sheng was shocked by Su Ming's physical prowess. This kid had just awakened his martial soul, but his physical strength was even greater than mine, who's been training for years!

Wang Sheng, holding his chest, where the throw had left him sore, asked, "Su Ming, what's your innate soul power and your martial soul? How are you so strong?"

The rest of the boys were equally curious.

When martial souls awaken, they give a small boost of energy to the soul master. Although it's not much, the higher the innate soul power, the greater the benefits, especially for those with beast-type martial souls, who receive the most enhancement to their physical attributes.

Su Ming didn't feel the need to hide anything and responded honestly, "My martial soul is the wood element, and my innate soul power is level seven."

Wang Sheng and the others were stunned. A level-seven innate soul power—this guy's a genius! No wonder he's so strong!

Wang Sheng conceded defeat, telling the others, "From now on, Su Ming is our new leader. Call him 'boss'!"

Wang Sheng led the way. "Boss!"

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

It was Su Ming's first time being addressed as a leader, and he couldn't deny that it felt good.

Su Ming then made a promise to the group: "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let any nobles bully you."

Since he was now the leader, he would take on the responsibility. He wasn't afraid of Xiao Chenyu or any of the other minor nobles.

Xiao Chenyu was only an eleventh-level soul master with a mere ten-year soul ring. Even without a soul ring, Su Ming wasn't afraid of him!

Still, Su Ming needed to find a time to test what level of wood release techniques he could currently use and how much soul power and mental strength they consumed. He really hoped the system would reward him with a cultivation technique for mental strength; otherwise, improving his mental power would be difficult.

Su Ming knew of two methods to enhance his mental strength. One was to secretly copy Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes with his Sharingan and use the early morning purple energy to cultivate his mental state.

The second method was to acquire a soul bone that increased mental strength, but that was far beyond his current reach.
