Chapter 388 Break His Legs
Few people in Wuhun City know the name of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang anymore.
Even people of similar age wouldn't remember this good-for-nothing.
However, the appearance of the papal decree quickly alarmed the commander of the city's garrison knights in charge of city defense.
The papal decree is of great importance.
It symbolizes the Pope's presence and represents supreme power.
All those under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall and below the Pope must respectfully bow upon seeing the Pope's decree, treating it as if the Pope himself were present.
There are only four Papal Decrees in the entire Douluo Continent, one each held by the Spirit Hall and the three upper sects, and each one is specially made and, in principle, cannot be used lightly.
But now one has appeared in Wuhun City.
The commander of the city's garrison knights dared not be negligent. He personally went out to carefully check and verify the token. After confirming that it was correct, he also checked Yu Xiaogang's identity and background before letting him pass through and enter Wuhun City.
Then.
The commander of the city's garrison knights personally went to the Papal Palace to inform Pope Bibi Dong that the papal decree had appeared in Wuhun City.
…………
The Papal Palace, the council chamber.
"Your Holiness the Pope, a Great Soul Master named Yu Xiaogang has just entered Spirit City carrying a Papal Decree."
The commander of the city's garrison knelt on one knee in the center of the council hall and respectfully reported.
"Yu Xiaogang?"
Upon learning that it was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang who had come to Wuhun City with the Pope's decree, Bibi Dong frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Where did that good-for-nothing get the papal decree?
Could it be the one from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan?
But wasn't that good-for-nothing expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Why would they hand over the Papal Decree to him?
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Bibi Dong asked in a cold voice:
"Do you know where that papal decree came from?"
The commander of the city's garrison knights immediately responded respectfully:
"Reporting back to Your Holiness the Pope, judging from the martial spirit characteristics engraved on the token, it is the one held by the Clear Sky Sect."
"The one from the Haotian Sect?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
This piece of trash, is he looking for death?
They've somehow gotten involved with the Haotian Sect?
However, how did he obtain the papal decree held by the Haotian Sect?
Rumor has it that the papal decree is in Tang Hao's hands. Could it be that he is colluding with Tang Hao?
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's narrowed eyes flashed with a cold light, and her expression became even colder.
Where are they?
Bibi Dong asked in a cold voice, the chill in her tone seemingly intensifying.
"We went to the archives room."
The commander of the garrison knights quickly returned.
"A collection room?"
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, then realized what was going on, and her expression became somewhat subtle.
"Your Holiness, shall I go and bring him here?"
The commander of the city's garrison knights thought for a moment and then made a suggestion.
"Never mind, let him be."
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment, her slender, jade-like fingers lightly tapping the edge of the papal throne. After a instant, she exhaled, raised her hand, and gently waved it:
"I am aware of this matter. You may leave now."
"Yes, I'll take my leave!"
After the commander of the city's garrison knights withdrew, Bibi Dong, seated on the papal throne, rubbed her temples.
"Yu Xiaogang, this is the last time I, the Pope, will indulge you."
"Next time."
"hehe!"
…………
After entering Wuhun City.
Yu Xiaogang didn't linger in the city at all, heading straight for his destination—the Spirit Hall's Archives Room.
The Spirit Hall Archives is located in the core area of the Spirit Hall, just like the Pope's Hall and the Elder's Hall, standing on the mountainside of the central mountain in the center of Spirit City.
With the papal decree in his possession, Yu Xiaogang moved freely through Wuhun City, directly reaching the core area of the Wuhun Hall. He even used his former status as an honorary elder of the Wuhun Hall to enter the archives.
Then he quickly flipped through ancient texts, trying to find a way or clue to resolve the conflict between the twin martial souls.
When encountering new martial spirit theories that one does not know, understand, or have never seen before.
Yu Xiaogang would also quickly copy them down for later summarization and compilation.
Hehe, it becomes his own knowledge.
…………
As one classic book after another was turned over.
Yu Xiaogang had not found a solution to the conflict between the twin martial souls, nor even a single clue.
However, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the Spirit Hall's archives had been filled with many new books on spirit theory.
Importantly, the martial spirit theories recorded in those classic texts are unique and distinctive.
His knowledge is novel and his understanding is unique, which is unprecedented in Yu Xiaogang's life.
Even someone who had read countless books and plagiarized countless works couldn't help but be amazed by its extraordinary talent.
Upon seeing the unique knowledge recorded in those ancient books, Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed and hurriedly began to copy it down. He became so engrossed that he forgot even his original purpose for coming to the archives.
Originally, he was looking for a way to resolve the conflict between his twin martial souls for the sake of his good disciple Tang San.
However, at this moment, he had completely forgotten about it and couldn't remember it at all.
Tang San's own theory of martial soul is far more important than anything else.
As long as Tang San doesn't add a spirit ring to his second spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer, there won't be any spirit conflict issues.
There's still plenty of time; we can find a solution to the conflict between the twin martial souls later.
If all else fails, just go to Bibi Dong and ask her directly; I'm sure she'll give it to you.
With this knowledge of martial spirits, one's theories might reach a higher level, making a name for oneself in the world of spirit masters and reaching the pinnacle of life.
At that time, who can still call themselves a loser?
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.
Therefore, he devoted all his attention to copying the classics.
However, what Yu Xiaogang didn't know was...
In fact, these newly added martial spirit theory classics record some unique understandings of martial spirit knowledge that Ye Qifeng has mentioned, spoken about, and researched.
It was Bibi Dong who sent people to collect and record them into a book, which was then sent to the archives for safekeeping.
Of course, the theoretical knowledge recorded in these classic texts is not actually that valuable.
The truly precious theoretical knowledge of martial spirits has been personally selected by Bibi Dong and classified as top secret, not to be viewed or borrowed by outsiders.
…………
While Yu Xiaogang was so engrossed in copying down the theoretical knowledge of martial spirits that he couldn't extricate himself.
A handsome young man, with a refined and elegant appearance, a tall and straight figure, gorgeous clothes, a gentle and easygoing temperament, and a height of just over 1.8 meters, with a full head of black hair casually tied back with a purple women's hair ribbon, as handsome as a lotus bathed in moonlight and as radiant as the sun, also came to the Spirit Hall's archives room.
This handsome young man is none other than Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, who has already turned sixteen and passed his coming-of-age ceremony!
The reason he was here was because he was entrusted by Lou Gao, the director of the Soul Guidance Device Research Institute, to find and borrow some information about soul guidance devices.
The Spirit Hall has made great progress in the research of soul tools. Many small-shaped, simple-made soul tools with low material requirements have long been replicated, mass-produced, and equipped by the troops.
As for those large soul tools with complex manufacturing processes and extremely high material requirements, they have now entered the most critical stage of tackling key problems, which is precisely the time when data and theoretical support are needed.
Ye Qifeng came to the archives hoping to find some valuable information about soul tools in the books there to support Lou Gao's team's intensive research.
The books collected in the Spirit Hall's archives are the culmination of tens of thousands of years of collection since the Spirit Hall's founding.
The collection contains a wide variety of books, and the quantity is enormous and countless.
Even Yoruichi, who loved reading and had a photographic memory, had never been able to read all the books in the collection.
The origins of many of the books in the archives are long lost to history.
Besides complete books, there are also many incomplete ancient texts, some of which are only a few pages or fragments, and it is impossible to tell who wrote them or when.
However, their value cannot be ignored.
It was precisely because of their immense value that the Spirit Hall collected them.
However, in terms of classification, these classic texts are often difficult to annotate due to their incompleteness.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to find their exact location in the catalog of the collection room.
Usually, one can only find and browse through the books on the bookshelf in person.
Ye Qifeng pinned his hopes on finding some valuable information about soul tools from these incomplete ancient texts.
…………
After entering the archives room.
Ye Qifeng greeted the old scholar who managed the archives.
Upon hearing Ye Qifeng's arrival, the old scholar hurriedly stood up, a joyful smile on his face, and respectfully greeted him.
Now, Ye Qifeng's identity as the Holy Son has long been made public, and his reputation is excellent and deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even every resident of Wuhun City knows his name.
Even old scholars are no exception.
As a researcher of martial spirit theory, he devoted his life to the study of martial spirit theory and achieved remarkable results. However, after reading Ye Qifeng's martial spirit theory, he was inevitably shocked by it.
The old scholar held the gentle and approachable Holy Prince before him in the highest esteem and held him in the deepest respect and admiration.
After exchanging greetings.
Under the respectful gaze of the old scholar, Ye Qifeng walked towards the area where incomplete scrolls and ancient books were stored.
"Um?"
As he passed the area where the theoretical knowledge of martial spirits was stored, Ye Qifeng suddenly stopped, gave a soft "hmm," and seemed to have discovered something that surprised him.
That's right, what Ye Qifeng saw was none other than Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.
It was mainly that buzz cut that was so eye-catching, it immediately caught his attention.
In the Douluo Continent, most people, whether women or men, prefer to have long hair. Those with short hair are a very small minority, and those who deliberately shave their heads like Yu Xiaogang are even rarer.
Ye Qifeng glanced at him briefly and immediately recognized the buzz-cut man as none other than the useless master Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's appearance has hardly changed. He looks exactly the same as he did six years ago in Nottingham City—just as slovenly, just as unkempt, and just as repulsive.
"Judging from the timeline, Yu Xiaogang should already be on his way to Shrek Academy at this point, so how did he end up in Wuhun City? Wait, Yu Xiaogang seems to have disappeared for a period of time before going to Shrek Academy, could it be..."
Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang again, Ye Qifeng was initially puzzled, but then he suddenly understood:
"I see."
"This guy actually sneaked into Spirit City and even slipped into the Spirit Hall's archives."
"Is he trying to find a solution to the conflict between Tang San's twin martial souls? Hmm? Is he copying from ancient texts? You're truly a master of plagiarism!"
Ye Qifeng's smile was somewhat cold.
"Not just anyone can enter the Spirit Hall's archives. That bastard Yu Xiaogang was able to get in here. Hmm, I remember he had the Pope's Decree given to him by Tang Hao."
"Heh, a papal decree?!"
"Yu Xiaogang appeared in Wuhun City carrying the Pope's decree. The teacher probably knew all along, but he didn't do anything about it. It seems he was intentionally condoning it. What a headache."
"Does the teacher still have feelings for this good-for-nothing?"
Thinking of this, Ye Qifeng's eyes narrowed dangerously, and a murderous aura involuntarily surfaced on his body:
"In that case, I might as well be the bad guy!"
…………
At this moment.
Yu Xiaogang was diligently copying down the theoretical knowledge of martial spirits recorded in a classic text.
Because his back was to Ye Qifeng, he didn't notice Ye Qifeng staring at him coldly from behind.
Suddenly, Yu Xiaogang felt a chill on his neck and shivered.
He felt a chill behind him, as if it were freezing his very bones.
"Oh no, have I been discovered?"
Yu Xiaogang felt a sudden panic and stiffly turned his head to look behind him.
"Huh? Nobody's here? Is it just my imagination?"
There was no one behind him, nothing but air.
"It seems I was too tense and was hallucinating. There's no need to be so nervous. Anyway, with the papal decree in hand, no one can do anything to me. I can completely relax."
"Never mind, let's just keep copying."
Yu Xiaogang shook his buzz cut, consoled himself, and continued copying, silently muttering to himself:
"These theories about martial spirits are really good, they're a real gem!"
…………
Just a second before Yu Xiaogang turned his head to look back.
Ye Qifeng turned around and went back to the old scholar who managed the archives, whispering a few words in his ear.
The old scholar's gaze immediately changed.
However, he didn't say much, seemingly agreeing with what Ye Qifeng was going to do next.
After all, the knowledge in the Spirit Hall's archives should not be desecrated by petty people.
Then, Ye Qifeng walked out of the archives.
Upon exiting, they saw a patrol of knights, led by a Soul Emperor, approaching from a distance.
"Your Highness!"
As they passed Ye Qifeng, the group paused briefly, their right hands clasped together against their left chests, and they bowed slightly to Ye Qifeng in a simple knightly salute.
"Um."
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly in response, then smiled and said:
"You've come at the right time. I have something I need you to do."
The knight leader, who was a Soul Emperor, had his eyes light up and immediately said respectfully:
"Your Highness, please give your orders!"
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly, walked to the knight leader's side, and repeated what he had said to the old scholar to the knight leader.
As expected, after hearing this, the knight leader's face visibly changed color, and his eyes instantly filled with anger.
"What does His Highness require of us?"
He immediately asked.
"Come with me, I'll tell you in a bit."
Ye Qifeng said calmly.
"Keep up!"
The knight leader called out to those behind him and led his men to follow.
Not long after.
Night Wind led the knights back to the entrance of the archives.
"You choose two people to come in with me, the rest of you wait outside."
Ye Qifeng turned to the knight leader and gave him an order.
"You, you, come inside with me and His Highness the Holy Son. The rest of you stay outside and keep watch!"
The knight leader selected two team members and followed Ye Qifeng into the archives.
After greeting the old scholar, Ye Qifeng led the knight leader and two knights back to the spot where Yu Xiaogang had been found.
"See that guy with the buzz cut inside?"
Ye Qifeng pointed to Yu Xiaogang, who was standing not far away with his back to the group.
"I saw it."
The knight leader and the two knights nodded in unison.
A dangerous smile immediately appeared on Ye Qifeng's face:
"Go, break his legs and throw him out of Wuhun City!"
"Oh, and remember to take back the papal decree from him, so he can't continue to use it to swindle people. This kind of fame-seeking good-for-nothing doesn't deserve to possess a papal decree."
The knight leader and two knights answered in unison:
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Thank you to [The Shackles of Destiny] for the 15000 book coins!
