Thinking of this, Bibi Dong truly couldn't sit still.
She wished she could directly raise her hand and seal the heavenly curtain in front of her right now.
However, after the precedents of Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, and truly feeling the gap in strength between herself and this heavenly curtain, although her heart was anxious at this moment, she didn't really do anything radical.
She could only look up and continue to focus on the heavenly curtain, hoping to see if there would be a turn for the better later, or if the heavenly curtain would gloss over this matter.
At this moment, the heavenly curtain was not affected by Bibi Dong's emotions in the slightest.
It continued to broadcast relevant content on its own.
… …
[After a brief appeasement, Bibi Dong's emotions finally stabilized. She even went out with Yue Guan and personally led Yu Chen and his party to the Spirit Hall's library.
Along the way, Bibi Dong enthusiastically acted as a guide, actively introducing the books obtained from the library to everyone.
She also pointed out that Spirit Hall had specially prepared a room for Yu Chen, laughingly saying that this room would allow Yu Chen to live here peacefully for more than 10 years.]
"Ten years?"
Yu Chen, who had not spoken much since the beginning, showed a slight change in his eyes when he heard Bibi Dong say this.
After turning to look at Bibi Dong beside him, he couldn't help but smile again.
He shook his head solemnly and corrected her, "It doesn't need that long. Half a year is enough."
"Half a year?"
"Is Young Master Chen only planning to stay in Spirit Hall for half a year this time?"
Bibi Dong was stunned.
She was somewhat disappointed in her heart.
However, after calming down and thinking about it again, she felt that this matter was very reasonable.
After all, Yu Chen was not a member of their Spirit Hall, but the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Given his status, it was already quite difficult for him to stay in Spirit Hall for more than half a year.
As Bibi Dong thought this, she felt a bit of reluctance.
However, she didn't expect Yu Chen to speak up the next moment, and with just one sentence, he completely shattered her illusions.
He calmly corrected her, "No, what I mean is that half a year is enough to finish reading all the books here. There's no need to stay for 10 years."
As soon as he said this, the scene instantly fell silent.
A moment later, before Bibi Dong could even speak, the accompanying Yue Guan couldn't help but laugh out loud and raise a question.
After all, Spirit Hall had a collection of over thirty thousand books.
Even if one could read three books a day, reading a thousand books a year would be considered good.
Yu Chen actually hoped to finish reading all the books in half a year.
In Yue Guan's eyes, this was naturally a fool's dream.
Pure bragging.
Hearing him say this, Yu Chen wasn't angry, he just calmly explained, "It's different. I read books relatively quickly.
Moreover, although there are thirty thousand books here, I have already read half of them in my clan, so for me, the collection is not as vast as thirty thousand."
However, his explanation did not convince Yue Guan.
Instead, he sneered and continued to remind Yu Chen.
He clearly stated that even if Yu Chen had already read half of the books here, the remaining ten thousand-plus books could not be finished by him within half a year.
He hoped that as a young man, Yu Chen should be more cautious in his words and not be overly ostentatious.
"There's no need for that. It's not shameful if you can't finish them. No one will mock you for it.
Let alone you, even my master, Lord Qian Xunji, wouldn't be able to finish all the books within half a year."
Bibi Dong also recovered and finally spoke, adding a sentence from the side.
In her opinion, she was truly considering Yu Chen's well-being and giving him a way out.
However, she didn't expect Yu Chen, upon hearing Bibi Dong say this, not only didn't appreciate it, but instead reached out, randomly pulled out a book from the bookshelf in front of him, and handed it to Bibi Dong, saying.
He asked Bibi Dong to test him casually to prove that he hadn't lied just now.
He was full of confidence, his smile still gentle and approachable.
But Bibi Dong, upon seeing this, felt somewhat disappointed.
As someone born into humble circumstances, Bibi Dong had endured many cold stares and discriminatory treatments on her journey to where she was now.
Precisely because of this, she usually despised those noble young masters who were born with excellent resources but were unwilling to cultivate diligently, only boasting endlessly.
Previously, Yu Chen's calm demeanor when facing Qian Xunji in Spirit Hall made her feel that this person was different from ordinary noble young masters.
But his current actions made Bibi Dong feel disappointed again.
She suddenly realized that this jade-like young man was merely outwardly splendid but inwardly rotten.
In essence, he was no different from those people.
With this thought, Yu Chen's favorability in her heart greatly decreased. When she looked up again and spoke, her voice was somewhat colder than before.
At this moment, she proactively suggested conducting a special examination on him in half a month.
However, this time, she wasn't actively giving him a way out.
Instead, she wanted to expose Yu Chen's true colors in public and make him lose face.
And she even specifically made a bet with Yu Chen for this matter.
As long as Yu Chen could perfectly pass the assessment, she would agree to one of Yu Chen's requests, and vice versa.
Seeing her so enthusiastic, Yu Chen didn't dampen her Spirits.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded very simply, which was considered an agreement to Bibi Dong's request.
However, he then spoke again, emphasizing that there was no need to postpone the assessment for half a month; today would be sufficient.
"Alright, if you're not afraid of making a fool of yourself in public, then neither am I."
Bibi Dong, seeing Yu Chen's insistence, naturally got annoyed.
To prevent him from picking books Yu Chen had already read, she proactively went to the secret room of the library and took out several Titled Douluo's Spirit research notes treasured by Spirit Hall, placing them in front of Yu Chen.
She told him to finish reading them tonight, and she would come to test him tomorrow morning.
"Since Young Master Chen confidently claims he can finish all of Spirit Hall's collection in half a month, then finishing three note-filled books in one night shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Bibi Dong was triumphant, feeling that she had found Yu Chen's Achilles' heel.
Upon seeing this, Yu Chen merely smiled slightly.
Then, without further ado, he directly picked up the three books, found a nearby seat, and began to read them carefully.
However, in his own view, this was careful reading.
But in the eyes of Bibi Dong and the others, the situation was not so.
Everyone only heard the rustling sound of pages turning.
Not to mention one night, not even half an hour had passed, and a thick notebook had already been flipped through by Yu Chen.
In just one hour, all three books had been successfully flipped through by him.
"Done."
After finishing all of this, Yu Chen straightened up and let out a long breath of stale air.
"Done, what does that mean?"
And seeing his confident demeanor, Bibi Dong only belatedly realized that something was amiss.
She stammered and asked Yu Chen again, "You… you're finished? You just… are you sure you were reading?"
"Just test me, Miss Bibi Dong. If there's any part I can't answer, I, Chen, am willing to accept punishment!"
Yu Chen saw this and didn't explain further.
He simply cupped his hands and made a gesture of invitation.
His tone remained calm throughout.
