Seeing the girls like this, Liu Erlong immediately frowned and reminded them, annoyed,
"The heavenly curtain is comparing this content, why are you so excited? Xiaogang is your teacher, after all. Do you really want to see him make a fool of himself?"
As soon as she spoke, the scene instantly fell silent.
However, this question didn't stump Xiao Wu and the others, who had quick minds.
A moment later, they came back to their senses.
The girls then spoke, eagerly arguing for themselves.
"No, we hope the heavenly curtain will prove Grandmaster right."
"That's right, it's said that facts speak louder than words. There must be many people who, after seeing the heavenly curtain just now, have questioned Grandmaster's authority in the Spirit research Domain.
We are excited at this moment because we want to see Grandmaster prove himself with facts. Liu Erlong, why do you assume we want to see Grandmaster make a fool of himself?"
"I..."
Hearing the girls say this, Liu Erlong was speechless for a moment.
She wanted to explode but didn't know what to say.
After a cold snort, she could only look up and cast her gaze back towards the heavenly curtain above.
Of course, though her words were firm, when she truly looked up at the heavenly curtain, a sense of worry inevitably arose in her heart.
She murmured in a voice only she could hear,
"Xiaogang, your Soul Power Ten Core Theories must be your original creation. Even if it's not original, it must at least be your own improvement..."
As Liu Erlong spoke, she looked up at the heavenly curtain, her eyes filled with anticipation.
However, the facts once again proved that holding hope for someone like Yu Xiaogang was a grave mistake in itself.
The heavenly curtain began to play forward.
Just the first sentence was like a bombshell, directly dropped into everyone's hearts.
...
[Yu Xiaogang not only completely plagiarized the content from the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff's Experience Manual, but the entire process was also extremely despicable.
In order to make Bibi Dong willingly hand over these experience notes for him to review, he even deliberately used a bitter trick.
He hired people to impersonate members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to humiliate him in the street, so as to bring up his past. His methods were both despicable and lowly.
Anyone with some social experience would generally not fall for it. However, Bibi Dong still fell for it, not because she was foolish, but because she trusted Yu Xiaogang too much. She didn't even think that Yu Xiaogang was using her.
Coupled with her commoner background, when she heard that Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, she felt even more empathetic.
As a result, later, when she heard Yu Xiaogang suggest that she steal relevant Spirit Hall classics for him to read, Bibi Dong responded very straightforwardly. She nodded without hesitation and agreed to the matter.
However, agreeing was one thing. Taking the Supreme Pontiff's handwritten notes out of Spirit Hall was another. Even though Bibi Dong was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she clearly went through a lot of trouble for it.
After planning back and forth for more than half a month, Bibi Dong finally secretly brought the "Soul Power Ten Core Theories" out of Spirit Hall and placed it in front of Yu Xiaogang.
Seeing the Spirit Hall manual that had taken so much effort to finally obtain, Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited. He became even more convinced of the correctness of his previous thoughts.
Compared to Yu Xiaogang's excitement at this moment, Bibi Dong's face showed a bit of apprehension.
"Xiaogang, can this thing... really help you?"
"Of course!" Yu Xiaogang nodded.
"That's good!" Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then remembered something and immediately added a reminder, "But Xiaogang, you have to read it quickly. I can't just borrow this thing casually."
"Don't worry," Yu Xiaogang smiled and promised, "I'll only read it for two days, three days at most. I'll definitely return it to you then. How could I make things difficult for you, Bibi Dong?"
"Mhm, mhm." Bibi Dong nodded obediently, then thought of something and said with anticipation in her eyes, "Oh, right, Xiaogang, when are we going to Yelin City again? I heard..."
However, before she could finish speaking, she was rudely interrupted by Yu Xiaogang, who said, "Let's talk about it later, Bibi Dong. I need to seize the time to study. Can we talk about anything else later?"
"Eh? You're going to study as soon as you get it? Didn't you say you'd go shopping with me today?"
Bibi Dong said, pulling at her clothes, her expression showing a hint of disappointment. Her expression was truly pitiable.
Yu Xiaogang looked at her, and a burst of dark desires surged in his heart. He instinctively reached out to pull Bibi Dong's hand.
However, as soon as he touched her, a dense electric current immediately shocked his hand away. This was one of Spirit Hall's sacred artifacts, designed to prevent outsiders from harming the Holy Maiden.
Since putting on this artifact, Yu Xiaogang couldn't even dream of going further, let alone holding Bibi Dong's hand as they did in Yelin City.
Therefore, although Yu Xiaogang was nominally Bibi Dong's boyfriend this time, their relationship had not made any substantial progress. Three or four months had passed, and Bibi Dong was still a virgin.
Such a beauty was placed before him, yet he could only admire her from afar and not get close. Whenever he thought of this, Yu Xiaogang would feel extremely depressed. Over time, as his interest in Bibi Dong faded, only annoyance remained.
However, Yu Xiaogang concealed this annoyance extremely well. It was not discovered by Bibi Dong, who had fallen in love. After all, Bibi Dong was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, almost an open secret as the future heir of Spirit Hall. She was the most powerful connection Yu Xiaogang could currently rely on.
In order not to anger Bibi Dong and to prevent his future great plan of retaliating against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from falling through, Yu Xiaogang began to make grand promises to Bibi Dong, even enduring his annoyance. He spoke of planning their future together, one promise after another, and sent Bibi Dong away in advance.
Bibi Dong knew nothing of this. When she left, her heart was filled with fantasies and longing for their beautiful future together.
On the other side, Yu Xiaogang, who was verbally working hard, watched Bibi Dong walk away. However, he didn't actually begin to diligently study any Spirit knowledge. He simply copied down all the Spirit-related knowledge recorded in the Supreme Pontiff's notes.
After changing "Soul Power Ten Core Theories" to "Soul Power Ten Core Competencies" and rewriting the author's name to his own, he felt that everything was fine. He tossed the book aside and lay directly on the bed, beginning to snore loudly.
Regarding the plagiarism, he felt no burden in his heart; instead, he appeared very relaxed and natural. After all, in his opinion, he had already completely entered Bibi Dong's heart. Since he was going to become the man behind the Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff in the future, what was the big deal about him altering the experience notes compiled by successive Supreme Pontiffs on Spirit research?
After all, by then, the entire Spirit Hall would be his. Can taking things from one's own home be called plagiarism?
The more he thought about the future, the more delighted Yu Xiaogang felt. This time, lying on the bed, he couldn't help but let out a series of giggles.
He drifted off to a deep sleep in a daze.
In his dream, he saw himself standing hand in hand with Bibi Dong at the highest point of Spirit Hall Holy City, commanding the world.
He also saw those who had once looked down on him within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan kneeling on the ground, respectfully bowing in submission.
This dream was too beautiful. It was so beautiful that Yu Xiaogang, lying on the bed, couldn't help but giggle out loud. The drool flowing from the corner of his mouth directly soaked the pillowcase.]
