Chapter 22: Confrontation, Exchange

Zhou Heng's words left Bibi Dong speechless.

The students in the classroom, having heard Zhou Heng's words, began to discuss among themselves, all thinking about asking the high-level Soul Masters they knew after school whether these theoretical points were true.

Regarding the flaws in Yu Xiaogang's Ten Great Core Competencies of Spirits theory that Zhou Heng had pointed out, Bibi Dong thought about it carefully but could not find any point to refute.

"How is this possible? Xiaogang cannot be wrong. I was the one who gave those ancient texts to Xiaogang back then; how could these theoretical points have problems! These theories should be perfect! There must be something wrong."

Bibi Dong looked at Zhou Heng's calm face with anger and said in a deep voice: "Who told you to say these things? These theoretical points could not possibly have been deduced by a six-year-old child like you. Who is your teacher?"

Zhou Heng looked at the angry Bibi Dong speechlessly and said disdainfully: "Do you think everyone is a plagiarizing dog like Yu Xiaogang? Can't I just be naturally gifted? I have read the vast collection of ancient texts in the Spirit Hall's library regarding martial soul theory, and I have seen those exact same theoretical points of Yu Xiaogang's in the Spirit Hall's library."

"Those texts were published over a dozen or even decades ago and were misappropriated by Yu Xiaogang for his 'Ten Great Core Competencies of Spirits' theory."

"Do you need me to list the books Yu Xiaogang plagiarized one by one?"

Zhou Heng's words silenced Bibi Dong, because Bibi Dong remembered when she had given the Saint Token to Yu Xiaogang, allowing him to enter the Spirit Hall's library to peruse various ancient texts and perfect his theories.

But after she had her incident, Yu Xiaogang had simply run away, and from then on, Yu Xiaogang had never returned to see her.

When Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang first met, Bibi Dong had been attracted by Yu Xiaogang's charm as he was devoted to martial soul research.

Even now, after experiencing so much persecution, Bibi Dong had not shaken off Yu Xiaogang's influence.

Otherwise, no normal person would have ordered the teachers of the Spirit Hall Academy to teach students the Ten Great Core Competencies of Spirits theory.

From this, it is evident that Bibi Dong is a pure romantic fool, and a super big sycophant at that—a sycophant who has been fawning over a piece of trash for over a dozen years.

Although Bibi Dong now knows about the Ten Great Core Competencies of Spirits published by Yu Xiaogang, she cannot accept that the man she is obsessed with has become a guy who plagiarizes others' work.

The aura that Bibi Dong had originally suppressed on her body was instantly released, and a cold, malicious pressure weighed down on everyone in the classroom.

It caused everyone except for the Ghost Douluo, the Hu Liena siblings, and Yan to sink, falling directly to the ground, their entire body's soul power suppressed by the pressure, making it impossible for anyone to circulate their soul power to resist Bibi Dong's pressure.

A murderous intent rose in Bibi Dong's heart; in order to prevent Yu Xiaogang from bearing the label of a plagiarist, Bibi Dong decided to directly erase these people's existence so that Yu Xiaogang's theoretical points would not be overturned by others.

Zhou Huan felt Bibi Dong's murderous intent toward him, but he did not take Bibi Dong to heart at all, not to mention the guards who might be following him.

Just the fact that Bibi Dong was releasing her pressure so wantonly would certainly attract the few Honorary Elders in the Offering Hall, and given the location where Bibi Dong released her pressure, it would be easy for his seven masters to associate it with him; how could they not come over to check?

Therefore, Zhou Huan was not worried about his own life safety, but he was worried about whether Bibi Dong would secretly make a move to assassinate him later.

After Bibi Dong released her pressure, seeing Zhou Huan's expressionless, calm aura, she also thought of the existence of the Offering Hall, and subsequently, Bibi Dong retracted her pressure.

Just as Bibi Dong was retracting her pressure, her body stiffened abruptly for a moment, and then returned to normal; however, this momentary stiffness of Bibi Dong's was still noticed by the Ghost Douluo and the guards protecting Zhou Huan in the dark, as well as other high-level individuals.

Zhou Huan watched Bibi Dong silently retract her pressure, feeling very speechless in his heart; he really could not imagine how such a romantic fool could become a Level 1 God?

After Bibi Dong completely retracted her pressure, she said nothing and directly channeled her soul power to disappear from the spot; seeing Bibi Dong leave, the Ghost Douluo also said nothing and left directly.

However, before the Ghost Douluo left, Guimei gave Zhou Huan a look with his cold eyes.

Guimei's gaze was extremely sharp, stinging Zhou Huan's skin with pain.

Zhou Huan did not care about the Ghost Douluo's gaze; mainly because the Ghost Douluo had already left, and anything Zhou Huan did would be useless, so he could only swallow this bitter pill.

After Bibi Dong and the Ghost Douluo both left, everyone in the class finally reacted and cast their gazes toward Zhou Huan; emotions like curiosity, inquiry, admiration, and alienation were in their eyes, and these emotions made Zhou Huan a bit unable to stand it, so he went straight back to his seat and sat down.

Sitting in his seat, Zhou Huan felt his weak and powerless body after enduring Bibi Dong's pressure, but fortunately, the soul power in his body was still intact, and with the help of his soul power, Zhou Huan quickly recovered his strength.

Just as Zhou Huan was recovering his strength, a boy wearing a school uniform turned his head to look at Zhou Huan: "Classmate Zhou Huan, your knowledge of Soul Master theory is truly profound. I wonder how you know so much about Soul Master theory? Could you teach us?"

Zhou Huan looked at the boy, and after thinking slightly, he realized who the other person was. This boy was named Tie Ying, a commoner Soul Master in the class, whose martial soul was a Giant Strength Bear, with an Innate Spirit Power of seven, and he was now a twelve-level First-Ring Spirit Master.

Tie Ying's words carried a tone of curiosity. Zhou Huan did not respond directly to Tie Ying's words, but instead said: "If you read more books, you will also be able to understand these theoretical points. I would also like to teach you Soul Master theory."

"However, I have offended the Pope, and if I get too close to you, I am afraid it will affect your future academy life."

Zhou Huan did not refuse to teach Tie Ying Soul Master theory, but he did not agree to teach him either.

Instead, he chose to use a bigger problem to counter Tie Ying's desire.

I did not refuse, but if you do not come to me to learn Soul Master theory again for some reason, then you should not blame me.

It was not that Zhou Huan was unwilling to impart his knowledge; it was mainly because it was his first day of school, and someone had already come to him saying they wanted to learn Soul Master theory. Zhou Huan really did not want to impart his knowledge without understanding the other person.

After some time, once Zhou Huan understood the classmates in this class, Zhou Huan would naturally impart his knowledge to those who were trustworthy.

Zhou Huan only worried about his knowledge falling into the hands of ingrates, doing the work for others for nothing.
