Su Yan looked at the chat interface and sighed. He sent a message to the group, saying that being a happy person is what matters most in life. He explained that Tang San naturally likes using poison because he already focuses on hidden weapons and toxic substances. Since he paired up with Yu Xiaogang, that so-called great genius, this was the specific path that was created for Tang San to follow.
The Cat in the Shadows asked if Tang San's choice to use Blue Silver Grass for poison control was actually a mistake. Ah Yin replied quickly, stating that the choice was so wrong it was almost laughable. She felt it was a complete mess created by Yu Xiaogang.
Bibi Dong joined the conversation with a more serious tone. She told the group that as the Supreme Pontiff, she would eventually teach them how to choose the right spirit rings. She explained that the most important thing for a spirit ring and its spirit ability is how well it fits with the actual spirit of the user.
Bibi Dong decided to give a simple example to make her point clear. She said that if a person has a beast spirit like a monkey, it is better to get a ring from a monkey spirit beast. Even if you find a fierce beast spirit ring that is 1,200 years old, it might not be as good as a 1,000-year-old monkey spirit ring. Matching the species is often better than just picking a stronger random beast.
She added that sometimes people do not have a choice because finding the perfect spirit beast requires a lot of luck. If a spirit master cannot find the perfect match, they have to settle for something else that matches their attribute and age limit.
The user named Yanzi is not a Swallow remembered something her grandfather told her. She mentioned that one should chase the ultimate spirit match rather than just the highest age limit.
Bibi Dong agreed with her. She explained that picking the right path makes everything twice as easy. If you pick the wrong path, you will always be at a disadvantage. While the age of a spirit ring matters, it cannot show its true power if it does not match the spirit of the person using it.
Liu Erlong became very angry at these words. She shouted at Bibi Dong, asking how she dared to question the philosophy of Yu Xiaogang.
Tang Yuehua felt confused by the situation. She wondered if Bibi Dong knew all along that Yu Xiaogang's theories were a mess. If she knew his ideas were bad, why did she still think he was a talented man?
The user named I Am an Orphan commented that Bibi Dong was simply blinded by her feelings for Yu Xiaogang. He felt there was nothing anyone could do about a person in love. The Cat in the Shadows agreed, saying that a person with a love brain really cannot be saved. Bo Saixi simply sent a message saying she agreed with that statement.
In Spirit City, inside the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong was shaking with anger. She could not believe what she was reading. She muttered to herself about how she was trying to share useful spirit knowledge, but the others only wanted to talk about her past. She wondered if they had any respect for her at all.
Hu Liena was sitting nearby and saw her teacher's reaction. She could not hold back her laughter and let out a loud giggle. Bibi Dong's face turned cold. She called Hu Liena a little white-eyed wolf and told her to get ready for a punishment. A loud smack followed as Bibi Dong expressed her frustration.
Meanwhile, in the timeline of Soul Land 2 at Shrek Academy, Ma Xiaotao was feeling very stunned. She realized that Tang Ya seemed to be following the exact same path as Tang San. She worried that Yu Xiaogang had caused a problem that was still affecting people ten thousand years later.
Ma Xiaotao asked the group a question. She said she had a friend who also had the Blue Silver Grass spirit. Her friend followed Tang San's example and was currently looking for her third spirit ring. She wanted to know if there was still hope for her friend.
Su Yan gave a blunt answer. He told her that her friend should just join the Holy Spirit Cult and she would become powerful immediately. Ma Xiaotao sent back three question marks, clearly confused.
Liu Erlong was upset by the suggestion. She told Su Yan that Xiaotao was asking a serious question and that he should not recommend joining the ranks of an Evil Spirit Master. Another group member asked if the girl was beyond saving.
Su Yan replied by asking if they thought he was joking. He said the topic was too long to explain right now and suggested they skip it. He mentioned that he was hungry and asked if anyone wanted to arrange some late-night snacks.
Back in the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong reacted quickly. She gave Hu Liena another smack. Hu Liena made a small crying sound. Bibi Dong called her a blockhead and told her to pay attention to what Su Yan said. She wanted Hu Liena to show some initiative and offer him food.
The user I Am an Orphan immediately messaged the group saying he would have someone prepare food. Bibi Dong was furious that she was too slow. She yelled at Hu Liena for letting the orphan get ahead of them again.
Tang Yuehua then offered to have some local delicacies made for everyone to try. Bibi Dong was so angry that she smacked Hu Liena again. She complained that even Tang Yuehua was being smarter than her student.
Hu Liena finally sent a message to Su Yan saying she would arrange the snacks immediately. She got up and went to the door to give orders to the servants. When she came back, she looked at Bibi Dong with a sad face. She asked why her teacher always made her do the talking if she was the one who cared so much.
Bibi Dong snapped back, saying that she was the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall. She felt that if she personally offered him food, she would lose her dignity. Hu Liena felt helpless. She realized that in this group chat, she was the one who had the least amount of respect anyway.
Su Yan told the group that they could talk about Ma Xiaotao's friend later when the friend actually appeared. He liked the tradition of the group where they discussed things in front of the people involved.
Liu Erlong said that while that was fun, she wanted to know more about Su Yan. She wanted to hear about his life before he got his special powers. Bibi Dong liked the idea and told everyone to vote on it.
The Cat in the Shadows was the first to agree. I Am a Little Bird was surprised and asked if the kitty had changed her mind about Su Yan. The Cat in the Shadows explained that she just wanted to understand him better.
The rest of the group stayed silent for a moment. Bibi Dong suddenly said she was bored and didn't want to hear about him anymore. Bo Saixi said the sea was cold and she wanted to sleep. Tang Yuehua also said she lost interest.
Ma Xiaotao felt bad for the ancestor Zhu Zhuqing, saying the situation made her want to cry. Yanzi is not a Swallow joked that the kitty was being too thoughtful and didn't leave any room for the other girls.
Su Yan's friend, the Orphan, simply said he wasn't eating. Ah Yin was disappointed because she actually wanted to learn more about Su Yan.
Xiao Wu, who goes by the name Loves Eating Carrots, said she didn't need to eat the snacks because she already knew what Su Yan was like before his awakening. Bai Chenxiang thought that was perfect and asked for a bedtime story about him.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, the group was sitting around a bonfire. Xiao Wu looked at Su Yan and then at the others. She saw how much they wanted to hear a story and started to think back to their time at the academy.
Xiao Wu admitted that she actually didn't have much to say. She explained that Su Yan never paid attention to her in the past. She was always the one who had to go find him, and he seemed to be avoiding her on purpose.
Su Yan spoke up and asked if she thought he was as brainless as Yu Xiaogang. He said it was important to know your own limits. Before he had his golden finger, he knew better than to offend powerful people like Tang Hao or Tang San. He joked that if he had acted the way he does now back at Nuoding Academy, he would probably be dead and buried by now.
The user I Am a Little Bird agreed that he was right to be careful. Hu Liena added that it was lucky he was a transmigrator. If he didn't know the full story of Tang San and the others, he probably would have died without knowing why.
Liu Erlong mentioned that compared to the current situation, the older generation like Qian Daoliu seemed better. She noted how Yu Xiaogang and his clan managed to survive for a long time.
Su Yan then made a surprising claim. He swore he wasn't bragging, but he said that when he was four years old, he created a weapon that could have unified the entire continent. At that time, he thought he was going to be rich and famous forever.
However, he realized he was in trouble because the Douluo Continent is full of powerful spirit masters. He had the knowledge to build things, but he had no powerful people to protect him.
The whole group was shocked. Bibi Dong immediately asked him to describe the weapon. She told him that she was willing to invest in his project right away.
