Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Your Death Would Leave a Demonic Flaw in Xiaoxue's Heart!

As Qian Daoliu considered his answer, he was still uncertain. But before he could think of other reasons, Bibi Dong interjected, "Qian Daoliu, I understand you want the best for Xiaoxue, but have you considered the impact your death would have on her?"

"If you sacrifice yourself for Xiaoxue, it might leave a demonic flaw in her heart, creating a weakness that could hinder her future growth and make her vulnerable." Bibi Dong's tone was serious.

Qian Renxue looked at her grandfather and nodded, "Grandfather, Mother has a point. Can we delay the divine trials and find another solution? I don't want you to die."

Qian Daoliu hadn't thought that Bibi Dong would consider such things and sighed, "Alright, let's go with your suggestion."

Though he agreed, he was doubtful. If there were another way, he would have found it long ago.

Seeing his hesitation, Bibi Dong added, "Don't worry too much, Qian Daoliu. There has to be a solution. Once I achieve the position of Rakshasa God, maybe I can use my divine power to help Xiaoxue complete the ninth trial."

Qian Daoliu's eyes lit up. Though he didn't know if another god's power could activate the ninth trial, it was worth a try. Now that Bibi Dong had mended her relationship with Qian Renxue, he was willing to consider her suggestion.

When Qian Renxue saw her grandfather finally relax, she sighed with relief.

"Grandfather, does this mean you'll allow me to participate in the Soul Master Elite Competition now? If I don't participate, Spirit Hall will likely lose."

"Oh? You're referring to the Heaven Dou team?"

Though he usually resided in the Angel Shrine, Qian Daoliu was aware of external events. This year's Heaven Dou team was renowned for their impressive strength.

From what he'd heard, Heaven Dou's team captain, Su Ming, had an unexpectedly close relationship with Xiaoxue—even calling her his sister.

Qian Renxue nodded, "According to Elder Ghost, Su Ming has already reached level 65. The team also includes three Soul Kings, with the rest being Soul Elders."

Qian Daoliu was surprised but thought of Spirit Hall's strength and wondered, "If I recall, Hu Liena should have three spirit bones by now, with her power at level 67. And she can perform a Martial Soul Fusion with Xie Yue. Even so, they can't handle Su Ming?"

He turned to Hu Liena, whose pressure was palpable under his gaze. After Qian Renxue explained, Qian Daoliu finally understood the situation: Su Ming, at level 65, already possessed a Title Douluo's strength.

If that were true, Spirit Hall's team would indeed be at a disadvantage unless Xiaoxue joined the fray.

Luckily, Su Ming planned to join Spirit Hall after the competition. Qian Daoliu was relieved. Such a prodigy was not someone he wished to antagonize.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, he wasn't concerned; Xiaoxue's presence would intimidate their rivals. Spirit Hall could start revealing its ambitions.

With that, Qian Daoliu returned to the shrine.

"Mother, do you think Su Ming will accuse us of not playing fair if I join the competition?" Qian Renxue chuckled.

She wondered how Su Ming would react when he saw her competing.

Bibi Dong smiled, "I doubt he'll say anything. He'd likely enjoy fighting you; with his abilities, it'd be like playing against children otherwise."

Hu Liena felt helpless; her abilities were no match for Su Ming's.

"By the way, Mother, are you planning something soon?" Qian Renxue asked, sensing an air of change in Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong looked at her with a knowing glint. "Yes, you'll see tomorrow. I plan to ruin Yu Xiaogang completely."

Hu Liena could only offer a moment of pity to Yu Xiaogang—half a second, actually. Her teacher was ruthless. Yu Xiaogang was already a broken man, relying solely on his theories. Now, even those were about to be stripped away.

At midnight, a system prompt echoed for Su Ming.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing today's journal entry. Rewards granted: Spirit Evolution Card, First Spirit Ring increased by 50,000 years!]

[The Spirit Evolution Card grants your Wood Element Spirit an evolution opportunity upon obtaining your seventh spirit ring.]

Seeing these rewards, Su Ming felt it had been worth the lengthy journal entry today.

He sensed a major enhancement in his first spirit ring after its advancement to 100,000 years, which now held transformative potential. Due to the system's upgrade, the ring retained only one ability, but its effectiveness increased drastically.

Originally, the passive and active effects of his first ring doubled the durability of wood, a total increase of four times. Now, both aspects enhanced it by 500%, for a total increase of thirty-six times—an astonishing improvement.

And the Spirit Evolution Card filled him with anticipation.

His Wood Element spirit was initially of high quality, and with the system's enhancement and the extreme wood attribute, it was now at the pinnacle of top-tier spirits. Would the evolution transform it into a god-level spirit?

Elsewhere, another system notification appeared:

[Ding! Most-mentioned heroine today: Hu Liena. Award granted.]

[Ding! Critical Hit! Rewards include Spirit Evolution Card, Mental Power Enhancement, and Charm Mastery.]

Hu Liena:

While delighted with her reward, she hoped it would boost her odds in the competition. But the system seemed to be pushing her toward mastery of extreme charm instead.

Though her allure might not affect Su Ming, it would likely work on others. She could fully focus on supporting Sister Xue in the matches.


Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Exposed - Yu Xiaogang Beaten Black and Blue

The next day, Spirit Hall agents strategically posted multiple notices in high-traffic areas, especially around the tournament grounds. As time passed, bulletin boards appeared all over Spirit City, each filled with accusations and details about Yu Xiaogang's history.

With the Soul Master Tournament underway and the semi-finals approaching, the city was packed with curious people discussing the upcoming matches. The sudden appearance of these announcements about Yu Xiaogang piqued their interest.

Many high-ranking and noble soul masters glanced at the postings and quickly left, as they were already familiar with most of the allegations—that Yu Xiaogang's theories were illegitimate and borrowed. What intrigued them more was a newly revealed flaw in his so-called "Ten Core Competencies," which sparked fresh interest. However, they were more curious why Spirit Hall chose this moment to expose him.

Previously, many sects had wanted to capture Yu Xiaogang for leaking valuable theoretical knowledge meant to attract talented commoner soul masters, effectively undermining sect interests. However, Yu Xiaogang had been subtly protected by Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, with some upper-level individuals aware of his past relationship with Bibi Dong, who secretly shielded him.

Otherwise, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan couldn't have stood against the combined ire of the Clear Sky Clan (in seclusion) and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Although this scandal didn't impact elite soul masters much, it struck a severe blow to low-level soul masters and even commoners without spirit power.

They were shocked to discover Yu Xiaogang's true nature. Some clear-headed commoners acknowledged that without his theories, they might have been worse off, but then they read Spirit Hall's corrections, which pointed out flaws, such as the actual age limit for the first soul ring, which varies according to the individual's physical condition. A person with weaker physical strength may risk death with even a hundred-year ring, while those with excellent constitution could exceed the standard limit. "Remember, base your choice on your own ability."

This clarification enraged many who had blindly followed Yu Xiaogang's guidelines, unaware that many soul masters had suffered fatal consequences by following his rigid standards. Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had buried these incidents, but now that Spirit Hall openly acknowledged them, the news quickly ignited resentment among soul masters. Word spread rapidly, and soon, people gathered to confront Yu Xiaogang at his lodging.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong had ensured the scandal spread far and wide. In addition to the public notices, she ordered agents disguised as tavern storytellers to disseminate Yu Xiaogang's misdeeds throughout Spirit City. She intended to make his disgrace known to all, leaving him stripped of his final shred of dignity. Standing at the doorway of the Pope's Hall, she listened to the uproar with a pleased smile.

Across the continent, her preparations had ensured that Spirit Hall branches would act simultaneously, disseminating Yu Xiaogang's history as widely as possible. She would see to it that his reputation was thoroughly ruined.

At the Thunder Academy hotel:

The entrance was packed with angry commoner soul masters, shouting, "Yu Xiaogang, you fraud! Come out!"

"Get out!"

"Come out!"

Conveniently owned by Spirit Hall, the hotel manager had already received instructions to allow the disturbance. Having pieced together the context, he quietly took cover, letting events unfold.

Inside the hotel, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were working on refining the Seven-in-One Fusion Skill, a crucial tactic for their team's battle against the Heaven Dou team. Hearing the escalating commotion outside, they exchanged a confused glance.

Suddenly, the door burst open.

"Yu Xiaogang! You don't deserve to be called a theoretical master of the continent!" shouted an angry mob as they stormed in, filling the room.

Frowning, Tang San quickly reacted. Casting Blue Silver Bind, he restrained the crowd momentarily, then helped his teacher escape through the window. But even as they landed, Yu Xiaogang's face was already bruised and swollen.

They were surprised to find a large crowd gathered at the hotel's entrance, realizing they had only escaped one trap to fall into another.

At his breaking point, Yu Xiaogang shouted in frustration, "Stop! All of you, just stop! Why are you here to beat me? What did I do? If you want me dead, at least tell me why!"

If not for Tang San and the other team members protecting him, Yu Xiaogang would have been beaten to death within minutes. Feeling utterly broken, he wondered if the mob had lost their minds.
