Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 27 Master Yu's Five Hundred Fabricated Theories

The weather was clear and cloudless that day. The teachers and students of Notting College were busy on campus, doing their own things, and everything was normal, until a man with less hair, heavier eye bags, and a more haggard appearance walked in.

A sharp-eyed teacher spotted him and exclaimed in surprise:

"Yu Xiaogang? Oh no, Master Yu is back!"

"The master is back!"

Soon, the news spread throughout Notting College, and a large number of teachers and students rushed to the school gate, which was soon packed with people and unable to move.

Some people commented:

"Why is he back?"

"Nonsense, the Spirit Hall only gave him three months. If it drags on any longer, he'll become a wanted criminal!"

"Do you think he can afford 10,000 gold soul coins? Don't come asking me for money later, I don't have any."

"Whatever, let's watch the show!"

Yu Xiaogang stood there, looking at the crowd, without saying a word, only clenching his fists.

But when he thought about how all his Soul Master subsidies would be used to pay fines and how he would have to rely on Dean Wu for food, he loosened his fist again.

Soon, Dean Wu arrived, followed by the envoy from the Spirit Hall, who got straight to the point:

"Yu Xiaogang, I believe you already know that you slandered the Spirit Hall and are fined 10,000 gold soul coins in compensation. Can you afford to pay it now? If not, you can pay in installments."

Yu Xiaogang's face twitched, and he bowed slightly, saying:

"Respected Spirit Hall Envoy, please forgive my previous offenses."

The onlookers were not surprised at all; if he didn't back down, the master's head would be smashed.

Yu Xiaogang continued:

"However, my manuscript was indeed lost, but for the past three months, I have been rewriting it from memory, and I have now written five hundred lines. Do you think that can offset the fine?"

The Spirit Hall envoy asked in surprise:

"Really? Let me see it first."

Yu Xiaogang took out a large stack of papers from his bundle and handed them over. The Spirit Hall envoy glanced at them and hesitated, saying:

"I need to report this to my superiors."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said:

"Thank you for your help."

After saying that, Yu Xiaogang strode forward, and the onlookers made way for him. They watched him walk back to his office before bursting into laughter.

"Haha, more than 500? To be honest, it's not easy to come up with more than 500 in three months. I just don't know how well it's done."

"That's just ridiculous. He's a master; he spent three months making this up. Do you even understand it?"

"Haha, that's true, that's true. I don't want to be some kind of master!"

In the office, hearing the faint sounds of laughter, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist and slammed it hard against the door.

The next moment, two teenagers walked out of the office. Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, quickly composed himself, and asked:

"Xiao San, Xiao Yu, what are you doing here?"

Tang San said:

"Teacher, I heard you're back. I was going to go straight to you, but Xiaoyu reminded me that I could just come to your office and wait for you."

Yu Xiaogang gave the two of them an appreciative look and said:

"Hmm, not bad. Xiao San, you should learn this from Xiao Yu. Although we, master and disciple, have encountered a great setback this time, we must not let it disturb our Dao heart."

"Yes, teacher, I will definitely remember it."

Looking at the two wet patches, Bai Yu suppressed his speechless feelings and said to Yu Xiaogang:

"Master, where have you been for the past three months?"

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched involuntarily. Bai Yu's words struck a chord with him. He had been hiding in the cave for three months, living on air and dew, like a savage. How shameful!

However, he couldn't say that aloud. Yu Xiaogang coughed twice and said:

"I'm staying at a friend's house. Cough cough, let's not talk about that. Mistress, come here."

Tang San followed the master, and Bai Yu followed as well. The master glanced at Bai Yu, took out a belt from his box, and said:

"I originally intended to take it out after you became my disciple, but things happened so suddenly that it was delayed for three months. This is a soul tool that can store things; each compartment can provide one cubic meter of space."

Upon hearing this, Tang San's eyes lit up. "With this, I can store my hidden weapons!"

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly asked:

"Master, may I take a look?"

Yu Xiaogang glanced smugly at Bai Yu and generously handed it to him.

Look all you want, it's not for you, it's for the mistress. After all, she's my apprentice!

If you become my apprentice now, I can consider getting you some good stuff!

Yu Xiaogang wanted to use this to lure Bai Yu into becoming his apprentice, but he didn't know that Bai Yu had already started making changes.

[Plot: Yu Xiaogang shows you the soul tool belt]

Bai Yu simply replaced "see" with "use".

It's worth mentioning that in these three months, the system has been upgraded to level 2, and he can now change, add, and delete the narration.

The number of words that can be added or deleted is related to the level of modification opportunity. Basic opportunities allow for 1 word addition or deletion, low-level opportunities allow for 2 words, intermediate opportunities allow for 5 words, and advanced opportunities allow for 10 words.

In addition, he now gets 2 points for each modification.

Seeing that Bai Yu was watching with great interest, Yu Xiaogang was about to paint a rosy picture for Bai Yu, telling him that there would be good things to receive after becoming his disciple, so he spoke up:

"Xiaoyu, do you like it? If you like it, you can use it."

Bai Yu exclaimed in surprise:

"Really, Master?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded and said:

"Take it. It's just a soul tool, nothing to me."

Tang San, standing nearby: "???"

Old Biden, what the hell do you mean?

Didn't you agree to give it to me? I'm your apprentice, why did you give it to Bai Yu??

Yu Xiaogang met Tang San's incredulous gaze and instantly snapped out of his daze. Looking at Bai Yu, who was adjusting his belt, he quickly said:

"Xiaoyu, um..."

Bai Yu interrupted:

"Wow, that's perfect! Thank you so much, Master. There aren't many teachers as generous, handsome, wise, and loyal as you. You are truly my role model. If I can learn from you, I'm sure I'll become an outstanding person."

One compliment after another was bestowed upon Yu Xiaogang, making him somewhat conceited and embarrassed to ask for his belt back.

Looking at Tang San, who was eagerly waiting, Yu Xiaogang said:

"Little San, it's just a soul tool, right? Follow your teacher, and you'll have plenty of good things in the future! Don't worry about the immediate gains and losses; your teacher was once a prodigy himself."

As Yu Xiao began recounting the past, Tang San felt like crying but had no tears.

I don't want your empty promises, I just want the sesame seeds right in front of me!

But seeing Bai Yu's delighted expression, Tang San, who had always regarded Bai Yu as a brother, felt a little embarrassed to ask for it.

"Fine, I'll find a chance to trick Xiaoyu into giving it to me in a few days. What use would a support-type Soul Master like him have for this? It's better to give it to me so it can be used to its fullest potential!"

Tang San thought to himself, as if he had already decided that the belt was his, and that he was just leaving it with Bai Yu.

At this moment, Bai Yu quickly changed the subject:

"Master, I got my first spirit ring three months ago. When are you going to take Xiao San to hunt for spirit rings?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San quickly looked at Yu Xiaogang, his eyes filled with longing.

Yes, I've been waiting for three months, isn't this what I've been waiting for?

I want spirit rings too! Very, very powerful spirit rings!

It will be available tomorrow night, with a massive 10,000-word update!
