"Rongrong, did you forget something? When this was previewed, wasn't it mentioned already?"
"Ah? Was it? There were too many preview scenes at the time, I didn't pay attention to that at all. So... the Soul Power Ten Core Theories, was it really copied by Grandmaster...?"
Ning Rongrong was stunned. When she spoke again, mentioning the word Grandmaster, she felt a strange sense of shame from the bottom of her heart.
Even the core theories he relied on for his fame were plagiarized from others.
So, Gangzi really just relied on his mouth to swindle people outside, without any real substance?
No wonder he's been stuck at level twenty-nine after so many years.
Ning Rongrong thought.
Many of her original doubts about Yu Xiaogang were resolved accordingly.
At the same time, she grew to agree even more with Yu Xiaogang's famous saying:
There are no useless Spirits, only useless people.
Grandmaster might have said problematic things otherwise.
But this saying, it was truly too accurate.
He had proven the correctness of this statement with his own life.
At this moment, it wasn't just Ning Rongrong.
Most of the Shrek Seven Devils had similar thoughts.
Only the love-struck Liu Erlong still held the opposite view.
Hearing everyone say this,
she immediately spoke up, still arguing for Yu Xiaogang.
"Copied what? Can a scholar's work be called copying? Really. Besides, what's written on it is the Soul Power Ten Core Theories, who knows what the content inside is.
Is it possible that it wasn't plagiarism, but rather Xiaogang deduced and improved upon these core theories?
Flender, do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"
Liu Erlong said, then turned her head to ask Flender beside her.
Flender, who had intended to play dead, sighed helplessly upon hearing this.
Thinking of the friendship between himself and Yu Xiaogang, he could only cough and echo with some reluctance:
"This is true..."
"After all, no theories are born out of thin air. They are all deduced by standing on the shoulders of predecessors..."
So the result of the deduction
was to claim these "Soul Power Ten Core Theories" as his own?
In fact, the Shrek Seven Devils at this moment were somewhat skeptical of Flender's current viewpoint.
However, they couldn't really refute anything.
After all, they hadn't seen the original content of the "Soul Power Ten Core Theories" treasured by Spirit Hall.
Without the original for comparison,
there was no proof.
Thinking this, their attention shifted away from the matter.
They looked up again, casting their gaze back to the heavenly curtain above, muttering softly:
"I wonder if Yu Chen will make the same choice as Grandmaster after seeing this book."
"Probably not. I feel... Yu Chen is quite principled."
Xiao Wu thought for a moment after hearing the question.
Finally, she couldn't hold back and quietly added a sentence.
However, although her voice was soft,
Yu Xiaogang, who was leaving his dormitory and on his way to meet them, heard it clearly.
...
??!
What do you mean Yu Chen is quite principled?
So, I'm the one without principles, right?
...
Yu Xiaogang leaned against the wall.
At this moment, he felt like he had taken tons of critical damage.
However, he didn't lose heart because of it.
Looking up at the heavenly curtain, his eyes still held a hint of defiance.
He mumbled again:
"This is an opportunity to make a name for oneself across the entire Douluo Continent. This Yu Chen is also obsessed with Spirit research. I don't believe he can refuse such a temptation!"
On the light screen,
the scene continued.
...
[After quickly finishing his notes,
Yu Chen quickly noticed the gold-embossed book titled "Soul Power Ten Core Theories."
After casually flipping through two pages,
he looked up, a hint of surprise in his voice, and asked Bibi Dong:
"This book is quite interesting."
"But it doesn't seem to be within the scope of the Spirit Hall's library collection, does it?"
"Of course not. This is a collection of insights and notes from the Spirit research of successive Supreme Pontiffs of my Spirit Hall. How could such an important item be casually placed in the Spirit Hall's library?"
Bibi Dong explained.
When she said this, her chin was slightly raised.
There was pride and arrogance in her brows.
"Is that so...?"
Yu Chen hummed.
He lowered his head again to look at the book in his hand, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
After a long while, he looked up and asked Bibi Dong again, "Can I borrow this for a few more days?"
"Go ahead, I brought it over for you to see."
Bibi Dong waved her hand in reply.
At this moment, she appeared incredibly generous and decisive.
And while she was being decisive,
as soon as her front foot stepped out of the library,
Yue Guan immediately approached, reminding her:
"Holy Maiden, the Supreme Pontiff instructed that these insight notes should not be shown to others casually, right? Why did you give them to Yu Chen...?"
At this moment, he spoke with confusion and a hint of worry.
"Master also said that Yu Chen can borrow any books from Spirit Hall. It's fine, Yue Guan. This matter is known only to you, me, and Yu Chen. As long as you don't speak, and I don't speak, the Supreme Pontiff won't know."
Bibi Dong had clearly thought of a countermeasure long ago.
At this moment, she turned to look at Yue Guan, her eyes carrying a hint of plea.
"Yue Guan, you'll help me keep it a secret, won't you?"
Seeing her like this,
Yue Guan fell silent.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and nodded solemnly, saying, "But... alright, I understand."
]
...
The image froze again.
Yu Xiaogang watched, then excitedly jumped up from the spot.
It's here!
It's here!
This guy, as expected, also wants to claim these "Soul Power Ten Core Theories" as his own!
I knew it.
You are essentially the same kind of person as me!
...
Yu Xiaogang thought, taking a deep breath.
He had already prepared his words in his mind.
He had thought about what to say next in front of the Shrek Seven Devils.
to help him rebuild his Grandmaster prestige.
However, this time,
he had just taken one step.
Next to Yu Chen, his own section of the heavenly curtain lit up again.
It began to play related content from the past.
And what was playing was nothing else.
It was also the scene of Yu Xiaogang studying the "Soul Power Ten Core Theories"!
Seeing this scene,
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned pale.
His right foot, which had just stepped out, immediately retracted.
He hadn't expected the heavenly curtain to come so timely and quickly.
"Damn it, this heavenly curtain... is it really not going to let me off?"
"How much hatred is this, exactly?"
Yu Xiaogang was filled with grief and indignation.
At the same time,
Ning Rongrong and the other girls, who had been silent, saw this scene and their eyes lit up.
They clapped their hands excitedly, saying,
"It's here! It's here!"
"The heavenly curtain is truly humane; it's actually starting to compare the matter of the Soul Power Ten Core Theories.
This is great; whether Grandmaster's theory was an improvement or plagiarism.
The truth will be revealed soon."
