In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 335 Memories

"I told you, your life no longer belongs to you." Zhu Wu said calmly, waving his hand lightly, causing waves of azure light to ripple.

It was very thin, not concentrated, and reflected directly onto Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong immediately sensed that her internal injuries were healing themselves, but very slowly. The itching sensation continued as the wounds healed, and the excruciating pain in her brain caused her body to react instinctively, which in turn aggravated the tearing of the wounds.

For a time, pain and itching coexisted.

The wound teeters between healing itself and tearing open again.

"Kill me, kill me!" Bibi Dong covered her head with one hand and scratched her chest with the other until blood was gushing out.

"Heh, your will doesn't seem as strong as I thought," Zhu Wu said with a mocking expression.

"That's true. How much suffering must a pampered girl like you, raised in the Spirit Hall since childhood, have endured?" Ignoring Bibi Dong rolling on the ground, she said calmly, "That's why, after meeting Yu Xiaogang, you chose to betray the Spirit Hall, which raised you for over ten years and gave you everything, without hesitation. Of course, in your eyes, perhaps this isn't betrayal, but rather the courage of love."

"To be honest, I feel quite sorry for Qian Xunji."

"My personal disciple, whom I regarded as the future heir of the Spirit Hall, whom I had painstakingly nurtured for over ten years, couldn't even compete with an outsider who suddenly appeared after a few months of interaction. In the end, he even said that he would rather leave the Spirit Hall and elope with the outsider. All those years of cultivation have gone to waste. He must have been heartbroken at the time, right? So, since the genius I've painstakingly cultivated wants to leave, then in exchange..."

"Naturally, we must create another genius for the Spirit Hall."

"From the perspective of investment and return, I don't see anything wrong with Qian Xunji's actions. He's already said he'd rather leave the Spirit Hall, and if he leaves, he'll be an outsider, so why worry about the so-called master-disciple relationship? Besides, he has no children of his own, so he can help this genius have a child. Surely a biological child wouldn't run off with someone else, right?"

"Of course, from the perspective of status and position, doing this is somewhat disrespectful to elders and shameless."

"Actually, we could have chosen another genius."

"If I were Qian Xunji, I think I would probably seal your cultivation, find a few geniuses in the clan, have ten or eight children with you, and then kill you when the children reach the age of six and awaken a satisfactory martial soul, so as to avoid any subsequent impact on the children."

"Or perhaps I could cripple your cultivation and discard you, letting you experience what it's like for a saintess to fall to the mortal realm. With your beauty, surely many would be willing to take your touch? Would it be nobles, ordinary soul masters, commoners, or a group of beggars dragging you away?"

"Of course, I can also send you to Yu Xiaogang's side and see if he will still be interested in you now that you've become a cripple."

"Bibi Dong, do you think he will?" As she spoke, she had a thought that accelerated the healing process while stopping the activation of the enslavement mark.

"Huff, huff." Bibi Dong's body relaxed, and she lay weakly on the ground, panting heavily.

A moment later, he looked up at Zhu Wu and said through gritted teeth, "Xiao Gang will never give up on me!"

"Is that so?" Zhu Wu chuckled.

"Bibi Dong, do you really understand him?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand lightly again, and the stains on Bibi Dong's body disappeared, leaving her clean and white once more. At the same time, a stone chair rose from the ground behind him. As he sat down, he beckoned, and Bibi Dong's body floated over uncontrollably, turning her back to him midway.

"Let me go!" Bibi Dong shouted in terror, but found that her body was completely out of her control.

A short while later, it slammed down heavily, causing excruciating pain, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Long Yingtian, you deserve to die, you deserve to die. Ah!" A red light flashed between his brows, the blood-red mark was activated, and the pain intensified.

"Heh!" Zhu Wu reached out and grabbed Bibi Dong's long hair, pulling it down sharply to make her look ahead. Then, with a thought, a stream of light shot out from between his brows, illuminating the dark void in front of him. "I just happened to have copied Yu Xiaogang's memories, so let's take a look together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly rippled, and then an image appeared—a true image presented from Yu Xiaogang's perspective, including his inner thoughts. This image was directly connected to Bibi Dong's consciousness, allowing her to experience it intuitively. Humiliation combined with psychological attack is far more painful than simply killing someone.

As she pondered this, two chains rose up on either side of the seat, binding and suspending Bibi Dong's wrists to prevent her from concealing her presence.

Then, release control of the body.

Bibi Dong struggled frantically, but she couldn't break free from the chains. Instead, the pain made her face turn even paler.

Finally, tears welled in her eyes, she stopped struggling, and stared at the image. Looking at that familiar figure, it seemed that a sliver of hope still lingered in her heart.

Zhu Wu chuckled, looking at the video, enjoying the process, occasionally offering his critique and commenting on Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong, however, remained clenched her teeth, displaying an unyielding demeanor.

The footage continues. Within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, Yu Yuanzhen has always treated Yu Xiaogang well and taken good care of him, never failing to provide him with the necessary cultivation resources. However, many of the surrounding clan members have shown indifference towards Yu Xiaogang, even giving him the cold shoulder.

"Watch closely, even without my father's help, I, Yu Xiaogang, can overcome my martial soul's flaws with my own wisdom, become a great soul master, reach the pinnacle of the soul master world, and prove that I am not a waste!" In the end, Yu Xiaogang could no longer bear it and left the sect alone. Indeed, Yu Xiaogang's initial idea was to overcome his martial soul's flaws on his own and cultivate into a powerful soul master.

"Perhaps the solution can be found in Wuhun City." He rushed to Wuhun City as soon as he left the sect.

Holding the family token.

Midway through, he re-certified his martial soul under the name Yu Xiaogang at a martial soul branch hall and received the soul master subsidy.

Because his martial soul wasn't in dragon form, he was treated as a relative of a small family, and his martial soul awakened within the family. The surname Yu wasn't unique to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. After a long journey, they finally arrived at Martial Soul City.

"As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, how could I join the Spirit Hall?" With this thought in mind, he neither chose to join the Spirit Hall nor dared to.

Because the Spirit Hall conducts rigorous screening of those who join, their identities will be discovered sooner or later.

They could only say they had come on a pilgrimage to pray to the angels.

In fact, Yu Xiaogang did pray to the Angel God. He hoped, with a glimmer of hope, that the deity would bless him and help him find a way to resolve the flaws in his martial soul.

Then he realized that he wasn't a Spirit Master from the Spirit Hall, and his strength was too low to be qualified to enter the Spirit Hall Academy's library to access information, let alone the even more confidential Papal Palace. He also didn't have much money and couldn't stay at the Spirit Hall for long.

"I have no choice but to reveal my identity." With a helpless and uneasy heart, he showed his family identity token at the gate of the Spirit Hall Academy.

At that time, the Spirit Hall had a relatively harmonious relationship with the three upper sects, and the gatekeepers politely let people go on the spot and helped introduce them to the dean.

After revealing his identity, Yu Xiaogang said that he was there to exchange and learn from his father.

Although the dean was puzzled as to why the Blue Lightning Tyrant family hadn't sent someone to talk to the Pope and then brought him over, he still politely arranged accommodation for Yu Xiaogang, who was Yu Yuanzhen's son, and then went to report to the Pope immediately.

"Yu Yuanzhen's good-for-nothing son?" Bibi Dong suddenly remembered this sentence, which was Qian Xunji's first reaction at the time.

Outsiders may not know Yu Xiaogang, but the Spirit Hall has already investigated him thoroughly.

At that time, she was also studying at the Spirit Hall Academy, and she happened to come to the Pope's Palace to ask Qian Xunji about cultivation matters.

"Yue Guan, go to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan and ask Yu Yuanzhen if it's true." Qian Xunji turned to look at Chrysanthemum Douluo, and then at the Dean.

"For now, let him stay at the academy, except for certain important locations. Let him be."

"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll head back to the academy." Bibi Dong clearly remembered her reaction at the time. It was also the first time she had felt curious about Yu Xiaogang. A mutated martial soul, with an innate soul power of 0.5—what could he possibly learn at the Martial Soul Academy?

Later, Chrysanthemum Douluo sent word that Yu Yuanzhen had admitted that Yu Xiaogang had come for an exchange and learning experience.

"Father." Yu Xiaogang was deeply moved upon hearing the news, and he knew in his heart that his father was covering for him.

So Yu Xiaogang stayed at the Spirit Hall Academy, but he didn't train his body. Apart from cultivating his soul power at night, he spent all his time in the academy library.

Later, he met Bibi Dong, who was reading at the library, and his heart fluttered as he developed the desire to befriend her.

During his time at the academy, he had learned that Bibi Dong was the Pope's personal disciple.

"After all, I'm not a member of the Spirit Hall, so I have no right to enter the Pope's Palace to look through the classified information on spirit masters. But Bibi Dong is the Pope's personal disciple, so perhaps I can get in through her." With initial affection and selfish motives, Yu Xiao began to secretly peek at the books Bibi Dong was reading. Later, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation by using the contents of the books. Because of her inferiority complex, she deliberately acted very indifferently.

"Although he may have been trying to take advantage of me, Xiao Gang does genuinely like me," Bibi Dong thought to herself.

"Hmm," she murmured softly, momentarily losing her composure. Her face flushed and she clenched her teeth.

"Heh." Zhu Wu just chuckled lightly.

Bibi Dong, however, felt that Zhu Wu was mocking her, and clenched her teeth even tighter.

The video continued, and she struck up a conversation, expressing her curiosity about Yu Xiaogang by asking questions about the Soul Master theory she had heard in class that day, and the issues she had connected those theories to. She pointed out that weapon spirits, such as swords, spears, and clubs, could absorb both animal and plant spirit rings, but why were plant spirits rarely used to absorb animal spirits?

"Because most weapon spirits are inanimate objects, and inanimate objects don't have attribute compatibility issues," Yu Xiaogang said. "Plant spirits, on the other hand, have active characteristics similar to plant-type spirit beasts, making them like living things, and thus more difficult to be compatible with different attributes. An iron sword, whether forged by flames or covered by ice, will not change its essence. But a plant, whether it's flames or ice, will die quickly."

"In addition, weapon spirits generally do not inherit alien energy from spirit rings."

"But plant-based martial spirits, such as the Poison Soul Ring."

"If absorbed, it is very likely that the toxins will be absorbed into the body, just like with beast spirits, causing harm to the spirit master."

In the video, Bibi Dong is lost in thought, casually revealing an innocent smile, "A good idea."

"You're quite good at making that connection," Yu Xiaogang nodded calmly.

"If you have any further questions, feel free to come and discuss them with me."

"Okay." Bibi Dong nodded gently.

Thus, their paths crossed, and their feelings for each other quickly intensified.

"You're just ignorant." Zhu Wu shook his head, his fingers clenching so tightly that Bibi Dong gritted her teeth. "Bibi Dong, I have to say, Qian Xunji protected you too well in your early years. These theories, which only withstand conjecture and are completely detached from reality, actually fooled you. Tell me, when you were discussing these theories, didn't you ever think about putting them into practice?"

Bibi Dong's face was flushed, and she was sweating profusely, but she remained silent. Looking back now, these theories are indeed full of flaws. However, they were all young then, and hadn't yet ventured out to gain experience; wasn't that perfectly normal?

Seeing that Bibi Dong ignored him, Zhu Wu said no more and continued to look at the images.

As a result, with Bibi Dong's help, Yu Xiaogang successfully read through most of the Spirit Master information in the Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong secretly copied the information and even used a spirit tool to take the books directly out of the Papal Palace, all in an effort to help Yu Xiaogang solve his spirit defect.

Afterwards, Yu Xiaogang published the Soul Master training materials that the two of them had researched and compiled in his own name. Bibi Dong had no complaints. Later, she even took Yu Xiaogang with her to join the team to attack Seagod Island. It was after this incident that Qian Xunji discovered the unusual relationship between the two.

Then, without a doubt, the couple was brutally broken up. To save Yu Xiaogang's life, Bibi Dong cruelly broke up with him. Then, Yu Xiaogang immediately ran away.

Zhu Wu found it amusing; such unusual behavior—running away without even asking a question—was quite something.

Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang's sadness, tears welled up in her eyes, and her already exhausted body went limp.

Zhu Wu reacted quickly, blocking the attack with both palms and firmly holding the position.

"You can't handle this? There's still a long way to go before you've seen all the memories?"

Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, but she had no strength left and could only let Zhu Wu restrain her.

In the somewhat blurry vision, Yu Xiaogang left Wuhun City, first meeting Flander, then Liu Erlong. He was quickly attracted by Liu Erlong's generosity and fell in love with her involuntarily. Even after realizing he liked her, he kept trying to convince himself of his feelings.

"It was Bibi Dong who betrayed me first; I should have forgotten her long ago." At this time, it had only been a few months since he left Wuhun City.

"Xiaogang, it's not like that, it's not like that." Bibi Dong looked panicked and struggled instinctively.

"Good, continue!" Zhu Wu raised an eyebrow.

“…” Bibi Dong’s body stiffened, then she gritted her teeth and said, “Long Yingtian, I won’t have a good ending, and you will too!”

"We'll see!" Zhu Wu said calmly, then smiled and said, "At least for now, things are going well."

Bibi Dong was speechless; she couldn't even get the words to her throat before she choked.

"Why, why?" In the video, Yu Xiaogang escaped once again, at the wedding.

Afterwards, he fled to Notting City and enrolled in the Junior Soul Master Academy. He didn't teach, but instead lived off the school, receiving a stipend and focusing solely on researching data on commoner Soul Masters. It wasn't until Tang San and Zhu Wu arrived and he saw their credentials that his indifference towards Zhu Wu became blatant, revealing his double standards.

What followed was his teaching career at Notting Academy, and his subsequent move to Shrek Academy.

Even now, Bibi Dong is still trying to convince herself.

Until Tang San proposed the idea of ​​a spiritual marriage.

"That's right, my love for Erlong is sincere and pure." These inner thoughts directly broke Bibi Dong's defenses.

The inner monologue of Tang San coming to Wuhun City to seek a soul bone is even more intense.
