Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 291, Question 310: Gangzi's Multiple Choice

Yu Xiaogang was not only using Bibi Dong as a bargaining chip, but also using her to threaten the judge of the Elder Hall to hand over the Golden Dragon Fruit.

That's right, Yu Xiaogang is that confident.

He knew very well what a fake papal decree meant, but he was only imprisoned in the Spirit Hall prison for a month before being released. From this, Yu Xiaogang could infer that Dong'er still held a place for him in her heart.

This is why the elders in the Hall of Elders hate him so much, yet they dare not lay a hand on him.

Yu Xiaogang speculated that the people in the Elder Hall wanted Bibi Dong to settle down and focus on being the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang felt that his asking price was too high. He promised that he would not bother Dong'er anymore, so that she could focus on being the Pope of the Spirit Hall and retain a genius with twin spirits for the Spirit Hall. With such good conditions, you should at least show your appreciation, such as with that Golden Dragon Fruit or something.

Of course, for Yu Xiaogang, it was impossible to give up such a good pawn as Bibi Dong. After obtaining the Golden Dragon Fruit, it did not prevent him from secretly contacting Bibi Dong, planning her twin martial soul cultivation method, and learning more about the secrets of the Spirit Hall through her, thereby updating his martial soul theory.

"Hehe." The masked woman chuckled and said, "Yu Xiaogang, you really know how to joke. You think you can get this celestial item from me in exchange for not contacting the Pope?"

"Isn't it enough to exchange a Golden Dragon Fruit for a Pope who is completely loyal to your Spirit Hall?" Yu Xiaogang retorted, sticking out his neck.

"If that's what you think, then Yu Xiaogang, this Golden Dragon Fruit is not for you, and you won't see His Holiness the Pope today either. So, see you out—" the masked woman said coldly.

Seeing the armored soldiers behind the masked woman approaching to drive him away, Yu Xiaogang lost his composure and quickly shouted, "Wait, I have something to say—"

The masked woman waved her hand, and the armored soldiers withdrew.

Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the golden dragon fruit. This was his chance to turn his life around and completely escape Fei Wu's clutches. How could he possibly miss it? It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it yet, but now that he had, he was determined to eat it. He took a deep breath and said, "You know this is very important to me. You didn't bring it out just so I, Yu Xiaogang, could see it, did you?"

“You’re right, this Golden Dragon Fruit was brought out for you to see. Now that you’ve seen it, you should leave,” the masked woman said.

Yu Xiaogang became even more anxious: "I need that Golden Dragon Fruit, really, give it to me."

"Yu Xiaogang, is this how you ask for Elder Judgment's Golden Dragon Fruit? Is this how you beg for help?" the armored soldier said.

Without any prompting, Yu Xiaogang knelt down on the spot, pleading humbly, "Please, Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me that Golden Dragon Fruit. I will grant you whatever it takes, as long as I can." With that, Yu Xiaogang kowtowed three times in the direction of the Judgment Elder.

You must understand that Yu Xiaogang is a sensitive, strong-willed, and dignified person. Don't be fooled by his current humble and obsequious demeanor; deep down, he feels profound humiliation, and his hatred for the Spirit Hall has intensified. His inner voice roars with fury: "Damn Spirit Hall! Why didn't you just give me the Golden Dragon Fruit directly? Why make me beg like this? You wait! The day I obtain the Golden Dragon Fruit and nurture my disciple Tang San to perfection will be the day your Spirit Hall is destroyed!"

"Can you agree to anything?" the masked woman asked.

Yu Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

"What I want you to do is actually quite simple." The masked woman took out a book titled "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" and said, "We need your cooperation to hold a theoretical conference for the Soul World. We will check every piece of information in your work for plagiarism. And what you need to do is very simple: just admit that you plagiarized."

Yu Xiaogang fell silent. At this moment, he felt a deep sense of malice.

The theoretical master is Yu Xiaogang's current capital for living in the world. Although the mainstream soul world no longer recognizes Yu Xiaogang's status, in Yu Xiaogang's world, he still considers himself that knowledgeable master.

However, the Spirit Hall is forcing him to deny himself.

If even he himself admits that his work is plagiarized, then his reputation as a theoretical master will be completely irreparable (of course, it has long been utterly tarnished anyway).
With a flushed face and a stiff neck, Yu Xiaogang questioned, "Isn't your Spirit Hall going too far? This is my painstaking work, a culmination of my hard work. How can you say it's plagiarism and make me admit to plagiarism?"

The masked woman didn't respond, but instead ordered someone to bring over several recording stones. The moment the images from the recording stones played, Yu Xiaogang's face turned green.

The scene shows Yu Xiaogang completing "The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul". In the scene, a man with a crew cut is working hard in his study. He opens a book and looks at the contents. There is a theory in the book that satisfies him. So, he casually copied the theory into his own book.

"The process of completing your Spirit's Ten Core Competencies was all done within our Spirit Hall. Therefore, we have a record of the entire process of you completing this work. Whether you admit to plagiarism or not is no longer of much significance," the masked woman said.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to say it was fake, it was fake, but the scene depicted in the memory stone perfectly matched Yu Xiaogang's memory. It was as if he was looking in a mirror. He originally thought he was an incredibly handsome man (a respected master), but when he looked in the mirror, he found that he was an ugly monster (a shameful plagiarist).

Yu Xiaogang said bitterly, "You have a recording stone, why do you need me?"

“Our elders wish to give an explanation to the sages you have plagiarized, which is why we need you to stand up and admit that you are a plagiarist,” the armored warrior said.

The masked woman said, "Now you have two choices: either admit that you are a shameless plagiarist and you can get the Golden Dragon Fruit, or leave this place and never have the chance to get the Golden Dragon Fruit again in this life. The choice is yours."
