Spirit Hall – White World
Seeing Bibi Dong on the Heavenly Curtain with her fists clenched, looking as though she was about to punch someone, and Yu Xiaogang wearing an arrogant, almost ridiculous grin, everyone in Spirit Hall couldn't help but look at the real Yu Xiaogang with strange expressions.
"Dragon God... Your Eminence..."
Hu Liena felt as though her admiration for the Dragon God was beginning to crumble.
Is this really a human being?
When your teacher is clearly upset, instead of comforting her, you laugh right in her face. It's a miracle the two of you still ended up together afterward.
The others shared the same thoughts.
They looked back and forth between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong, unable to understand how the two had managed to stay together after something like that.
Yu Xiaogang simply shrugged.
"Just tell me whether it worked or not."
"Back then, your teacher was obviously feeling down. But the moment I made that expression, she was immediately filled with fighting spirit again."
He spoke as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
To be honest, when he had first seen Bibi Dong's dejected expression, he really had wanted to comfort her.
But for some inexplicable reason, the mixture of unwillingness and frustration on her face made him act a little... strangely.
Unexpectedly, the result had been excellent.
For a long time afterward, Bibi Dong trained with incredible determination.
She came to challenge him for sparring far more often than before.
Although she always looked like she wanted to bite him to death before every match, their relationship actually became much closer afterward.
Those were memories of their youth.
Standing nearby, Bibi Dong shot Yu Xiaogang a sharp glare after hearing his explanation.
However, her eyes soon softened as she quietly drifted into memories of those days.

The Heavenly Curtain Continued...
Yu Xiaogang's teasing caused Bibi Dong to storm off in anger.
After returning to her room, she suddenly remembered that she had originally gone to see how Xiao Long had changed.
But the moment Yu Xiaogang's smug smile appeared in her mind again, her anger flared up once more.
Determined to surpass him and one day return that exact same mocking smile, Bibi Dong immediately entered meditation and began cultivating.
She cultivated continuously for an entire day and night.
She didn't even bother eating.
Every time she remembered Yu Xiaogang's irritating grin, she felt as though she had already lost her appetite.
Over the following days, she maintained this intense cultivation schedule without slowing down.
Seeing how hard Bibi Dong was working, Yu Xiaogang also became nervous.
Having finally surpassed her, he had no intention of letting her catch up again.
He was absolutely certain that if Bibi Dong overtook him, she would mock him mercilessly.
So he also threw himself into cultivation.

Several days later...
One afternoon, a burst of hearty laughter echoed through the residence.
Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder returned together, both beaming with excitement.
The moment Yu Xiaogang saw the expressions on their faces, he immediately knew that their mission had been a complete success.
"Hahaha! Xiaogang!"
"You won't believe how incredible this operation was! The harvest was beyond our wildest expectations!"
Yu Yuanzhen strode over laughing and heavily patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder.
Yu Xiaogang smiled.
"Was it even better than what we found in the Sunset Forest?"
After experiencing the unbelievable fortune they had obtained there, he found it difficult to imagine anything making his father this excited.
Yu Yuanzhen scratched his head awkwardly.
"Well... not quite."
"An opportunity like the one in the Sunset Forest probably exists only once in the entire Douluo Continent."
Yu Xiaogang then shifted his gaze toward the Grand Elder.
"Grand Elder, congratulations on becoming a Titled Douluo."
The Grand Elder's aura had completely transformed.
There was no doubt he had successfully broken through.
"Hahaha!"
"I owe this breakthrough entirely to you, Xiaogang!"
The Grand Elder burst into hearty laughter.
He had long believed he would never reach this realm during his lifetime.
Now that he finally stood among the ranks of the Titled Douluo, his heart was filled with emotion.
After congratulating him, Yu Xiaogang became curious.
"So... what exactly happened during the battle?"
According to the original agreement, his father and the Grand Elder would help A Rou's group eliminate the wolf pack.
In return, the Grand Elder would receive a suitable spirit ring.
They were also supposed to obtain the hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone from the Moon-Devouring Azure Wolf.
However, for his father to describe the rewards as "bountiful," there had to be much more than that.
Sure enough, Yu Yuanzhen smiled and began recounting everything that had happened.

After leaving the residence, Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder headed toward the agreed meeting place.
Upon arrival, they found A Rou waiting for them.
Standing beside her were two enormous figures.
The Titan Giant Ape...
And the Sky Azure Bull Python.
The overwhelming aura radiating from the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts caused Yu Yuanzhen's heart to tremble.
Especially the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Yu Yuanzhen was absolutely certain that if this had been before his trip to the Sunset Forest...
He wouldn't have stood a chance against it.
Fortunately, A Rou greeted them warmly.
The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, however, remained cold and indifferent.
Neither Yu Yuanzhen nor the Grand Elder found this surprising.
After all, A Rou had already transformed into a human and spent years living among people.
She naturally understood how to interact with humans.
The other two soul beasts had lived deep within the Star Dou Great Forest their entire lives.
They knew nothing about human etiquette or social interaction.
Fortunately, this was merely a temporary alliance.
Neither side intended to build any lasting friendship.
With A Rou leading the way, they quickly entered the territory of the Moon-Devouring Azure Wolf.
The battle erupted almost immediately.
According to their plan...
The Sky Azure Bull Python would restrain the Moon-Devouring Azure Wolf.
The Titan Giant Ape would deal with the empowered Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf.
Meanwhile...
Yu Yuanzhen and A Rou would eliminate the remaining wolf pack.
The battlefield quickly became Yu Yuanzhen's personal stage.
Ever since his Martial Soul evolved, he had never experienced a true battle.
This was the perfect opportunity to test his newfound strength.
As the fighting continued...
Even Yu Yuanzhen himself was shocked by how powerful he had become.
Golden-blue lightning surrounded his body.
In full Martial Soul Possession, he charged through the battlefield like the incarnation of a Thunder God.
Everywhere he passed...
Wolves fell one after another.
Not a single one could survive more than a few exchanges against him.
The wolf pack was annihilated at an unbelievable speed.
Before long, Yu Yuanzhen and A Rou had completely finished their part of the battle.
Watching Yu Yuanzhen move across the battlefield like the God of Thunder himself, A Rou's eyes widened in disbelief.
For a brief moment, she wondered...
Had she chosen the wrong person?
Perhaps...
The one truly destined to become a god wasn't Yu Xiaogang...
But Yu Yuanzhen.
After the initial shock, however, excitement quickly filled her heart.
Because whether it was the father or the son who eventually became a god...
It made little difference to her.
She had already formed an alliance with both of them.
As long as either one succeeded, she would benefit immensely.
Ignoring A Rou's thoughts, Yu Yuanzhen shifted his attention after finishing off the ordinary wolves.
His gaze locked onto the Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf.
As fellow users of lightning, the soul beast immediately sensed something terrifying.
Its own lightning...
Seemed to instinctively submit before Yu Yuanzhen's.
It was as though Yu Yuanzhen's lightning was the absolute sovereign of all lightning.
If even its greatest strength had already surrendered...
How could it possibly defeat the monster standing before it?
