[Yu Xiaogang spent his entire life trying to prove that he wasn’t a failure—but in the end, he still was.]
[People need to understand their own limits.
His so-called Ten Core Theories of Spirit Masters are laughable to anyone with real experience.
They can only deceive a novice like Tang San, someone who has never systematically studied Spirit Master knowledge.]
[Yu Xiaogang’s true crime lies not in his plagiarism or incompetence, but in his deception.]
[Because he lacked talent, Yu Xiaogang poured all his effort into studying Spirit Master theory.
As a result, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan grew increasingly disdainful of him.
Surrounded by ridicule and gossip, Yu Xiaogang eventually ran away from home.]
[After leaving, he arrived in Spirit Hall City.
And his arrival brought a great calamity upon Bibi Dong, who was then the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.]
[In order to plagiarize knowledge from the Spirit Hall’s library, Yu Xiaogang deliberately approached Bibi Dong, gained her trust, and even made her fall in love with him.]
[I’m truly speechless.
It seems Qian Xunji only taught Bibi Dong how to cultivate—and nothing else.
Otherwise, how could the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, the future Supreme Pontiff, fall for such a worthless man?]
[Isn’t that absurd?
Clearly, Qian Xunji didn’t know how to teach disciples either.]
[Later on, Yu Xiaogang copied large amounts of knowledge.
Qian Xunji didn’t care about that—but he did care about his disciple.
Bibi Dong even planned to abandon her position as Holy Maiden and leave with Yu Xiaogang.]
[This is outrageous.
I truly don’t understand how someone as plain and mediocre as Yu Xiaogang could deceive Dong’er to such an extent.
It’s completely ridiculous.]
[In order to stop Bibi Dong from leaving with Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji committed unforgivable acts—and that was the true beginning of Bibi Dong’s descent into darkness.]
[Sigh… Yu Xiaogang is truly despicable.]
[To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang never cared about Bibi Dong at all.
His only reason for approaching her was to obtain knowledge.]
[In all the decades he disappeared, did he ever send her even a single message?]
[Dong’er, you were truly blind when you were young.]
Fortunately, Dong’er eventually repented—and even killed Yu Xiaogang, which could be considered a form of revenge.
Heaven Dou City.
Qian Renxue quietly stared at the notebook in her hands, her expression dazed.
“So… the source of that woman’s fall into darkness is connected to my father?
She was originally his disciple.
How could this have happened—how did she end up hating him so deeply?”
“Why does everything seem to come back to me…?”
Qian Renxue muttered softly, as if a terrible realization had just dawned on her.
Her face instantly turned pale.
“No… no!
“Yu Xiaogang!
Yu Xiaogang!!!
This is all because of you!!!”
Her face twisted with fury, her eyes reddened, and her fists clenched so tightly they trembled.
She wished she could drag Yu Xiaogang out and torture him to death with her own hands.
If it weren’t for him… she might have had a complete family.
Yu Xiaogang—you chose your own path to death.
Spirit Hall.
An oppressive atmosphere hung over the Papal Palace.
Ling Yuan Douluo and Hu Liena stood side by side in the center of the hall, both keeping their heads lowered, their expressions tense, not daring to look at the figure seated above.
Bibi Dong sat upon the papal throne.
Her face was deathly pale, and the aura radiating from her body was terrifying—as if she were on the verge of killing someone.
Hu Liena had never seen her teacher like this before.
She swallowed hard, hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered the courage to ask softly, “T-Teacher… are you… alright?”
Bibi Dong slowly raised her head.
In that instant, both Hu Liena and Ling Yuan felt a chill race down their spines.
They saw her eyes.
Once a deep violet, they were now filled with terrifying bloodshot veins.
Bibi Dong’s gaze settled on the two of them.
“Do you think Xu Fan’s words are believable?” she asked slowly, each word heavy with fury.
She seemed to be asking them—but it felt more like she was questioning herself.
Hu Liena and Ling Yuan remained silent, too afraid to respond.
What if the wrong answer meant death?
But Bibi Dong didn’t seem to need an answer.
Her eyes gradually lost focus.
Yu Xiaogang… he had insisted on going to the library every day.
And once he went, he would stay there all day long.
She had once believed it was his thirst for knowledge—his ambition and dedication.
But now, recalling those details alongside Xu Fan’s words… everything seemed to point to a different truth.
She was nothing more than a tool.
She—the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, the once peerless genius Bibi Dong—was perhaps nothing more than a… tool in that man’s heart.
“Heh.”
Her laughter was cold and chilling.
Did she believe it?
Perhaps there was still doubt—but more than that, there was suspicion.
A desperate desire to see Yu Xiaogang’s true, despicable nature with her own eyes.
“Perhaps… I really was blind.”

Deep in a forest.
Boom!
A massive tree exploded apart.
Liu Erlong stood amid the chaos, her spirit power raging violently.
Her fists clenched as she roared hoarsely, “Fake… it’s all fake!”
Her voice echoed through the forest, as if she were trying to convince herself.
“How could Xiaogang be that kind of person?!
Cowardly?
Scheming?
Using women?!”
With each question, the flames within her burned brighter.
Boom!
A blazing torrent of fire erupted from her palm, instantly engulfing a hundred-year-old Wind Baboon in front of her.
At this moment, killing was her only outlet.
If she saw a spirit beast—kill it.
If she saw a tree that displeased her—destroy it.
Her figure shot through the forest like a raging inferno, flames trailing behind her, splinters flying, spirit beast corpses littering the ground.
She tried to use raw, unrestrained violence to erase Xu Fan’s words from her mind.
How could the man she chose—
The man she had waited for decades—
Be such a despicable hypocrite?
Xu Fan must be lying!
She smashed her fist into a nearby rock wall.
She didn’t know how much time passed.
Eventually, Liu Erlong’s movements slowed.
She stood still, chest heaving, gasping for breath.
Slowly, she lowered her head and looked at her hands.
Was it really… all nonsense?
Just as confusion overwhelmed her, Liu Erlong’s pupils suddenly contracted.
[The second person Yu Xiaogang deceived was Liu Erlong.
Erlong should now be the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy.]
[This time, Yu Xiaogang went even further.
Liu Erlong is Yu Luomian’s illegitimate daughter—making her Yu Xiaogang’s cousin.
He actually disregarded ethics and blood ties to deceive her.
Absolutely despicable.]
[After leaving, Yu Xiaogang later encountered Erlong in Heaven Dou City.
The moment he saw her martial spirit, he knew she was from the same clan.]
[Yu Xiaogang had studied all the records of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Naturally, he knew that one of the mutated martial spirits of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was a Fire Dragon—and Liu Erlong’s martial spirit was exactly that.]
[He knew it from the very beginning.]
