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

Chapter 377 I, Yu Xiaogang, am not a waste.

Before long, footsteps were heard, and Bibi Dong stepped in.

Yu Xiaogang, who had just picked out a few books and stepped off the bookshelf, was immediately stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Bibi Dong noticed Zhu Wu immediately, her gaze fixed on him, completely ignoring Yu Xiaogang, and even took the initiative to get closer.

"Hello, are you a new student? I haven't seen you before." He greeted her in a gentle tone.

Yu Xiaogang felt resentful and indignant, thinking to himself, "No matter where you go, there will always be people who judge others by their appearance."

In his opinion, Bibi Dong must have ignored Zhu Wu because he was handsome, and even took the initiative to approach him and greet him.

Then Zhu Wu opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Bibi Dong, and smiled slightly.

"You're Bibi Dong?"

Lying is not a good quality.

Bibi Dong's pretty face flushed instantly, realizing that Zhu Wu had guessed her identity and that she already knew about her from the teacher. After all, even if she was an outgoing girl, she wouldn't initiate conversation with a boy for no reason.

In particular, she is a direct disciple of the Pope.

In addition, Zhu Wu's eyes were closed just now, so she was probably really asleep. It was somewhat impolite for her to ask him questions at that time.

Given this unusual behavior, it's no wonder Zhu Wu suspected that he had indeed been careless.

Thinking of this, he bowed slightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was too abrupt just now and disturbed you."

Bibi Dong in her teenage years was truly pure and innocent, Zhu Wu sighed.

It's a pity she was too well protected by the Spirit Hall in the early stages, and her involvement in affairs was too naive; she was just a simple-minded naiveté. However, the feeling of being in love, especially first love, can indeed easily make people lose their minds and become infatuated. Like the fat cat in her previous life, she even paid for it with her life. Thinking of this, she nodded slightly, "It's alright!"

Judging from his actions just now, Qian Xunji probably didn't reveal his identity, but only told Bibi Dong to try to befriend him.

"Is there something you need?" he asked again.

"Can I ask you about cultivation matters in the future?" With her identity exposed, Bibi Dong no longer concealed her purpose, revealing her honesty.

The smarter a person is, the less they like to be deceived, and she was no exception.

Treat others with sincerity, and they will reciprocate with sincerity.

"On the last afternoon of each week, we'll collect them all and ask together," Zhu Wu said calmly.

Bibi Dong immediately smiled and said politely, "Thank you for your guidance!"

Zhu Wu's expression remained unchanged. "Go do your work."

Bibi Dong had some doubts about her appearance and charm, but she still nodded slightly and hummed in agreement, then turned around and waved lightly.

She walked straight to the second floor of the library, glancing at Yu Xiaogang along the way before ignoring him. Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, with level 25 soul power—she couldn't think of any reason why she would need to approach him.

Moreover, strangers don't need to greet each other.

With so many students in the academy, she couldn't possibly smile at every single one of them.

Yu Xiaogang felt his pride had been hurt, and felt that Bibi Dong was looking down on him.

He was no stranger to the name Bibi Dong. As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, he naturally knew that Bibi Dong was the personal disciple of Qian Xunji, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

As the Pope's personal disciple, how could he not have received the news on the second day after the Pope arrived at the academy? Clearly, they thought his cultivation level was too low and not worth befriending.

Thinking of this, his face flushed slightly, and his fingers tightened around the book.

"Sooner or later, I will prove to everyone that I, Yu Xiaogang, am not a loser!"

He made a silent vow in his heart.

The next second, she took a deep breath, her expression returned to calm, she glanced at Zhu Wu indifferently, and turned to walk towards the desk on the other side.

"This hurts your pride? You're really sensitive." Zhu Wu said calmly, leaning back to continue pretending to sleep.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the window gradually waned in the west.

"Time to go home!" Zhu Wu straightened up abruptly, stretched comfortably, and strode towards the door.

"Willingly degenerate!" Yu Xiaogang once again commented in his heart.

He really couldn't understand how such a lazy person could receive such preferential treatment from Bibi Dong, who was a direct disciple of the Pope, and even ask her to inquire about matters of cultivation.

Without reading books or practicing, how can one acquire knowledge or strength? What can one learn even if one seeks guidance?

He shook his head and continued reading.

Tap tap tap, footsteps soon approached. Turning my head, I saw Bibi Dong lightly moving downstairs.

Instinctively, Yu Xiaogang quickly lowered his head and pretended to be reading a book, maintaining his image while avoiding direct eye contact with Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong ignored her and walked straight to the library door, quickly disappearing from the entrance.

Yu Xiaogang then raised his head, his brows furrowed slightly, as if deep in thought.

"The books in this library mostly record theories about Soul Masters that can be openly discussed, but they don't contain specific data on the martial souls of the academy's students. This information has most likely been sealed up by the academy and handed over to the Papal Palace. It's extremely difficult to access it."

"Unless they hold a high position of power or have a special status."

"For example, Bibidon, who was a disciple of the Pope."

These are the people he can most easily reach right now. As for those older, powerful figures, they are all cunning old foxes, not easy to deal with. One wrong move, and he might be expelled from Spirit City, or even framed by Spirit City for plotting treason and trying to steal secrets.

If that got out, his family would definitely not let him off the hook. Thinking of this, his expression suddenly turned serious.

He had no chance of getting close to Bibi Dong through strength alone; the only way was to win her over with his profound knowledge.

"Ideally, we could summarize a complete and novel theory of Soul Masters," he thought to himself.

He can read the books in this library, and Bibi Dong can read them too. Simply copying them won't impress Bibi Dong. Only by innovating based on them will there be a chance.

Bibi Dong only knew one aspect, but he was able to apply that knowledge to other situations, thus winning her over by focusing on areas she was familiar with.

Thinking of this, a confident look appeared on his face.

Perhaps he was far inferior to Bibi Dong in terms of martial spirit and soul power cultivation, but in terms of theoretical learning, he believed he could easily surpass all others. What did it matter if his martial spirit talent was amazing? What did it matter if he was a disciple of the Pope? Some talents are innate and cannot be made up for later in life.

And he is a theoretical genius, one in a million!

He could read at the age of three and had a photographic memory. He awakened his martial spirit at the age of six and was scorned by his clan. However, after only three years, at the age of nine, he had read through all the books in the clan's collection. Even his father, Yu Yuanzhen, praised him for his talent in reading.

Lost in thought, he closed the book, stood up, put it back on the shelf, and strode towards the door with his head held high.

As he stepped outside, the setting sun shone on his face, and Yu Xiaogang looked up towards the direction of the Papal Palace.

"Dad, just you wait and see! I'll prove to the world that your son isn't a good-for-nothing!"

If he could use the data and materials collected by the Spirit Hall to find a way to resolve the malignant mutation of his own spirit, he believed that with his own wisdom, he would be able to gradually reach the pinnacle of the spirit master world and become a powerful spirit master.

With firm steps, I walked straight towards the dormitory, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After dinner, I sat at my desk in the bedroom and began to summarize and record what I had learned that day.

As for cultivation, it's too slow due to his martial soul talent, which only has 0.5 level innate soul power.

Time is of the essence, and the Spirit Hall cannot allow him to stay in the academy indefinitely. He must seize the time to finish reading the books in the academy library and summarize a set of soul master theories that can impress Bibi Dong, and then obtain the opportunity to read the Spirit Hall's sealed materials through Bibi Dong.

Therefore, the cultivation of soul power had to be postponed.

If things go smoothly, it will take at most one or two months. Once the problem of malignant mutation of the martial soul is resolved, he is confident that he will be able to catch up.

The next morning, I went to the library early to read books, but I didn't attend classes or go for a morning run.
