Because this time, the reward given by the heavenly curtain was none other than the Spirit's Ten Core Competitiveness Theories, as improved by Yu Chen!
… …
[After Yu Chen's revisions, the logic of the 'Core Competitiveness' theory is much smoother.]
[For you, who are devoted to Spirit Master theory, it can be said to be the best supplementary material.]
… …
Above the heavenly curtain, light flowed.
This time, the reason given was so righteous and confident.
And seeing the reward given by the heavenly curtain, as well as the related reasons, the onlookers of Douluo Continent couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"!!!?"
"Holy cow, Yu Chen's revised core theory? Is the heavenly curtain really giving a reward, or is it openly mocking him? Isn't this just stomping Yu Xiaogang's face into the ground?"
"Is there still a need for mockery? What else is there about Yu Xiaogang that's worth mocking?"
"Indeed, both are eighteen years old, both studied at Spirit Hall. One directly plagiarized without changing a single word, shamelessly claiming the theory as his own. The other not only modified it based on the original, making the Spirit core theory more complete, but also asked for no reward throughout the entire process. The difference between the two is truly too great. To say it's a World of difference is not an exaggeration at all."
"Sigh, why doesn't our World have a figure like Yu Chen? Forget about him promoting spirit tools for the benefit of the common people later; even just perfecting the Spirit's Ten Core Competitiveness and then spreading it throughout the entire Douluo Continent would be considered immeasurable merit, wouldn't it?"
"From that perspective, the reward given by the heavenly curtain is indeed quite fitting."
"If Yu Xiaogang truly comprehends the theoretical knowledge revised by Yu Chen and then spreads it, even if it's not immeasurable merit, he would at least be worthy of the title of Grandmaster."
Some Spirit Masters whispered.
After speaking, they looked up at the heavenly curtain, their eyes filled with anticipation.
And they were anticipating.
In Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong frowned, instead falling into deep thought.
"spirit tools… benefitting commoners? Can that really be done?"
"In the parallel World, did Yu Chen ultimately unify the entire Douluo Continent by relying on the terrifying power unleashed after the large-scale popularization and civilian use of spirit tools?"
At this moment, Bibi Dong no longer paid much attention to Yu Xiaogang appearing on the heavenly curtain.
Instead, she became extremely curious about Yu Chen's previous mention of spirit tools benefiting the masses.
Having governed Spirit Hall for so many years, she was no longer the young girl whose heart was full of love.
The memories she once shared with Yu Xiaogang, while undoubtedly a pure land in her heart, power was now the main axis of her life!
Especially after repeated exposures from the heavenly curtain, which allowed her to thoroughly see Yu Xiaogang's true colors, the position of this former 'white moonlight' in her heart began to decline sharply.
Although due to some beautiful past memories, she ultimately chose not to directly act against Yu Xiaogang, she clearly wouldn't actively change her plans for his sake anymore.
For Bibi Dong at this moment, nothing was more important than Spirit Hall's ambition to unify the World.
With this thought, and considering the related functions of spirit tools, her heart was also filled with fervor.
She immediately instructed her subordinates to pay close attention and conduct relevant research.
She had a premonition that Yu Chen and the spirit tools he was about to invent would definitely bring earth-shattering changes to the Douluo Continent of the parallel World!
While she had the presence of mind to focus on the changes spirit tools brought to Douluo Continent, Yu Xiaogang had no such inclination.
Listening to the constant discussions from all sides, and looking at the gilded notebook slowly descending before him with the heavenly curtain's light, his usually thick skin began to visibly redden at an alarming speed.
For the first time in his life, he truly understood what it meant to be triggered.
At this moment, he no longer possessed the Grandmaster's composure, nor did he have any interest in the advanced Spirit Master knowledge contained within the book before him.
Upon receiving the book, he had only one thought: to tear it to shreds!
Seeing his appearance, everyone around him changed color.
"Xiaogang, you're too impulsive!"
"That's right, this book is so precious; it would be too much of a waste to just destroy it so casually."
Let alone Flender, even Liu Erlong immediately spoke up to persuade him when she saw his actions at that moment.
However, their persuasion could not stop Yu Xiaogang, who had already made up his mind.
At this moment, hearing everyone speak, his hands still moved without any hesitation.
In just a few moments, he tore the reward that the heavenly curtain had just issued into pieces!
Looking at the pitying gazes everyone cast upon him, he showed no shame.
He held his head high, looking righteous, and replied firmly, "A pity?"
"What's there to pity?"
"It's merely a 'dog's tail adding to a snake.' Reading too many such books will only mislead people. Moreover, this is, after all, Douluo knowledge from another World.
Although the two Worlds appear largely similar, who knows if there are subtle differences?
If one rashly follows what's written here to cultivate and makes a mistake, or goes berserk, whose fault would that be?
Therefore, the only correct way to deal with such a notebook is to destroy it immediately!"
His words this time were utterly convincing.
However, everyone's focus was no longer on him. Instead, they looked down at the book on the ground, revealing expressions of regret and heartache.
All Spirit Masters knew how valuable that book was.
For this reason, even Flender and Liu Erlong, who had the best relationship with him, couldn't speak up to defend him.
While they could remain silent, the surrounding onlookers could not.
At this moment, after seeing Yu Xiaogang's actions through the heavenly curtain, they were truly enraged.
They all spoke up, angrily denouncing Yu Xiaogang's shamelessness and narrow-mindedness.
They felt that such a person was not qualified to be called a Spirit theory Grandmaster.
Because deep down, he had no respect or curiosity for Spirit-related theoretical knowledge.
His so-called lifelong immersion and research into Spirit theory were merely a more dignified reason and excuse for his inability to evolve Luo San Pao and go further on the Spirit Master path.
The more people spoke, the angrier they became.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yu Xiaogang inexplicably felt a bit panicked.
Finally, thanks to the flowing light above the heavenly curtain, which once again played various scenes related to Yu Chen, everyone's attention was drawn away.
This barely allowed Yu Xiaogang to escape the crisis of being verbally attacked.
After all, compared to denouncing the useless Yu Xiaogang, everyone was more interested in Yu Chen's situation.
They wanted to see if his previous statements about spirit tool research to Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji were truly substantial and if they were realized later.
They also wanted to see to what extent he could eventually evolve his Spirit Luo San Pao, and how his relationship with Bibi Dong in that parallel World would develop.
Along with various curiosities and doubts, everyone collectively looked up, directing their gaze towards the heavenly curtain in the sky.
And as everyone's gaze fell at the same moment, ripples surged across the heavenly curtain, and Yu Chen's image reappeared before everyone.
