Chapter 136 Bibi Dong's Considerations
After a quick shower and change, Yu Xiaogang stepped out of the room. Outside, Ci Xue was still guarding him, seemingly worried that something might happen to him again, or that he might have escaped.
Looking at Gangzi, who had recovered completely, Ci Xue couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If an ordinary Title Douluo were imprisoned and subjected to such torture, it would take at least half a month to recover. Yu Xiaogang truly deserves to be called a master, or rather, a great soul master. Because the backlash was minimal, he recovered in no time.
Ci Xue led Yu Xiaogang, who had changed into the Spirit Hall's attire, to the Spirit Hall and gestured for him to go in.
"After all, His Holiness the Pope wants to see you, not me. My presence would be superfluous," Bloodthirst instructed before turning and leaving.
If this were in the main hall, even if Bibi Dong went crazy again, at least he wouldn't be the one suffering. That's what he actually thought.
Yu Xiaogang straightened his sleeves. He hadn't set foot on this road for over a decade. Back then, he had fled the Spirit Hall in a fit of anger because others mocked his theories, all in an attempt to prove them.
However, along the way, although others pointed fingers at him to some extent, in terms of theory, they mostly just ridiculed his theories as unrealistic. It wasn't until he met Xiao Yan and Tang San that his world seemed to collapse.
He had hoped to shine at Shrek Academy, but Flander, that good-for-nothing miser, had saved up so little money that it wasn't enough for him to squander. Now that the academy had collapsed, with nowhere else to go, he could only think of Bibi Dong as his only option.
The worst part was that he had clearly instructed the gatekeeper to announce that he was Yu Xiaogang, seeking an audience with Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall. However, half an hour later, he was dragged into the prison by several Soul Masters. He didn't know how long he was tortured, but he knew that it must have been at someone else's behest. After all, he had offended some people when he was an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall. But as long as Bibi Dong knew that he was here, he would definitely be able to escape his misery.
What he was unaware of was that this was indeed at the behest of someone else, and it was Bibi Dongqian who did it.
Looking back now, the place I most wanted to leave is actually the place I most longed for.
Yu Xiaogang slowly walked into the main hall. Unlike before when he was waiting for Ci Xue to come in and report, Bibi Dong had already stepped down from the throne and was pacing back and forth in the main hall. When she saw the person who came, she immediately rushed over with a look of anxiety and naturally grasped Yu Xiaogang's hands.
"Xiao Gang, you've finally come to see me?" Bibi Dong looked at the person in front of her with eager eyes.
"Yes, I'm back, Dong'er." After a moment of hesitation, Yu Xiaogang replied warmly, silently reciting the mantra of being flexible and adaptable.
"That's good. I thought you'd be killed by the torturers in the dark dungeon." Bibi Dong looked worried, but her tone remained cold.
"It's alright, it's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up." Yu Xiaogang tried his best to appear magnanimous.
"Back then, besides being your honorary elder, all I wanted was for you to come back to my side. In my eyes, Master Yanxiao was nothing."
Yu Xiaogang nodded. "Dong'er, I've returned now because I intend to use my theories to help the rising stars of the entire Martial Soul realm achieve rapid growth."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong unusually remained silent. It was true that she liked Yu Xiaogang, but she knew exactly what kind of person he was. In any case, you should never listen to him when it comes to matters of martial spirit.
"Xiao Gang, I want to ask you, what are your thoughts on the National Tournament which starts in half a month? Now, I hope that as the instructor of the Spirit Hall team, you can provide them with tactical assistance. After all, their spirit power cultivation is already very high, but they lack some practical combat experience." Bibi Dong said, handing him the list of participants for the Spirit Hall team.
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself that it was easy. After all, he was the best at this kind of theoretical discussion. With his research on various Soul Masters and Martial Souls, he could easily come up with a reasoned explanation. Moreover, in his view, this was a good opportunity for Bibi Dong to give him to prove himself.
Once the Spirit Hall wins the championship, his status as a champion coach will naturally rise under Bibi Dong's guidance. Besides, the Spirit Hall has won the championship in so many previous National Soul Master Tournaments. Now that he has become the coach, defending the title will be a piece of cake.
But when he looked at the list that Bibi Dong handed him, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
"These, these Soul Masters—" Yu Xiaogang was speechless for a moment.
The first three members of this team are all Soul King level cultivators. What's even more outrageous is that the captain and vice-captain, a brother and sister, actually possess a Soul Fusion Skill. This Soul King level Soul Fusion Skill is probably as powerful as a Soul Saint.
The remaining four members of the team had all reached the Soul Master level. Is this the foundation of the Spirit Hall?
Yu Xiaogang was shocked. If he had stayed in that godforsaken Shrek Academy, even if Shrek Academy could assemble a team, none of them would be Soul Masters.
If he could really go to Tian Dou to coach, it seemed that only his nephew Yu Tianheng in the Royal Fighting Team was a Soul Master. Although he had heard that Xiao Yan defeated his nephew in the selection competition, Yu Xiaogang thought that he mostly relied on strange skills. However, the members of the Spirit Hall team were all at least Soul Master level, which was terrifying.
Seemingly anticipating his reaction, Bibi Dong appeared composed, reaching out to touch Yu Xiaogang's delicate face. She had instructed the prison soldiers not to attack his face, otherwise, leaving scars would be unsightly.
Bibi Dong released her grip, and to her surprise, the elderly Yu Xiaogang blushed because of her teasing. She then took out three soul bones.
"These three are all from our Spirit Hall's Golden Generation. I originally intended to bestow three spirit bones from the Spirit Hall upon them, but the Elder Hall and the Hall of Offerings forbade it. After all, these Title Douluo don't even have many spirit bones themselves, but these old fogies are not worthy of spirit bones."
The golden generation?
While Yu Xiaogang was shocked, he was even more impressed by Bibi Dong's courage in taking out three soul bones.
"Xiao Gang, do you think the Spirit Hall team can win the championship this year?"
"As long as they practice together more before the competition, listen to my instructions, and hide their strength, this championship will be a piece of cake."
"I think so too, so the prize for this year's national championship team will be these three soul bones," Bibi Dong said, putting them back into her hand.
"However—" Yu Xiaogang hesitated, as if he had thought of something.
"But what?"
"There's a member in the Royal Fighting Team named Xiao Yan. I heard at the beginning of this year that he already had strength approaching that of a Soul Master."
"Soul Master?" Bibi Dong felt that Yu Xiaogang had really messed up his brain after being away for so long. The members of her Spirit Hall team were all at least Soul Masters, and even two of them were Soul Kings. At the beginning of the year, they were Soul Masters, and now, no matter how strong their cultivation was, they were only a few levels higher than Soul Masters. What kind of threat could they be?
"But Xiao Yan is only fourteen years old." Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong couldn't help but frown.
This generation of Royal Fighting Team may not be a match for the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, but what about the next generation?
In that case, Bibi Dong suddenly remembered why the name Xiao Yan sounded so familiar. Wasn't he the disciple of Yan Xiao, who had always been at odds with Yu Xiaogang?
