Douluo Continent: My strongest soul beast was exposed by the Heavenly Curtain?

As a scholar, especially a master renowned in mainland China!

What Yu Xiaogang feared most was making mistakes in his research on soul beasts.

Often, a single mistake can ruin a master who enjoys the worship of thousands.

And now, this error has occurred.

And it's not "potentially wrong," nor is it "needs further verification."

Instead, it was the sky, the legendary soul beasts, and the entire continent.

Crushed in public.

Yu Xiaogang saw all of this clearly and definitively.

As the sky above receded, Brigitte withdrew her aura, reverting to her gentle and pure appearance.

That faint smile, carrying a hint of victory,

In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, however, it was like a heavy hammer that slammed into his heart.

"Bang—!"

The sound of shattering glass seemed to echo vividly in his mind.

"Blah blah—!"

The originally flawless and self-proclaimed rigorous "Soul Beast Theory"

At that moment, the first crack appeared.

But the crack did not stop.

It is expanding.

It's spreading.

Out of control.

Just as a dam can be breached by an ant hole.

Yu Xiaogang's decades-long cultivation of academic authority

It is collapsing completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Inside Blue Tyrant Academy.

Yu Xiaogang sat on the ground, utterly dejected, his eyes vacant, repeatedly muttering the same sentence:

"It's all over...it's all over..."

His voice was hoarse and low, as if his soul had been ripped out.

Liu Erlong had never seen Yu Xiaogang like this before.

This man, who was always conceited, stubborn, and even somewhat arrogant,

At this moment, however, he seems like a loser abandoned by the world.

"Xiaogang, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't scare me! We can solve anything together!"

Liu Erlong frantically helped him up, her voice filled with an unprecedented fear.

But what can respond to her?

Only Yu Xiaogang's unfocused gaze...

And the murmurs repeated over and over again.

"Wrong... completely wrong..."

"Something I've studied my whole life..."

"It's wrong..."

this moment,

Liu Erlong suddenly realized an extremely cruel truth.

The "master" she worshipped, relied on, and loved...

Reality is gradually stripping away its halo.

Meanwhile—

What truly terrifies Yu Xiaogang the most is...

It finally happened.

The headquarters of the Spirit Hall.

Inside the Papal Palace, the atmosphere was so oppressive it was almost frozen.

"so--"

Bibi Dong sat on the throne, her voice icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

"Now tell me, all the theories about soul beast research left behind by Yu Xiaogang,"

"Is everything wrong?"

"This is your final research result?"

The instant the words fell—

"Bang—!!!"

The papal scepter slammed heavily onto the ground.

A terrifying surge of soul power swept through the entire hall.

The two Spirit Hall scholars in charge of spirit beast research instantly knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

At that moment, they truly understood.

What is meant by the Pope's thunderous wrath?

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!!"

Their voices trembled as they kowtowed almost simultaneously.

But in their hearts,

However, they had already thoroughly vilified Yu Xiaogang.

That damned Yu Xiaogang!

If it weren't for those so-called "authoritative documents" he left behind, how could we have ended up like this today!

Why doesn't he step forward and take responsibility?!

In their fear, one of them finally seized the opportunity, abruptly raising his head, his voice trembling with tears:

"Your Holiness the Pope!"

"It's all Yu Xiaogang's fault!"

"He left behind a large number of research manuscripts on soul beasts, and we are advancing our research entirely according to his theories!"

"Now it seems... that information was completely wrong!"

"He is misleading us, Your Holiness the Pope! Please see the truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person immediately followed.

"That's right! Yu Xiaogang's theory of soul beasts simply cannot withstand scrutiny!"

"Princess and Bear's performance has proven everything!"

"We...are victims too!"

This moment.

Bibi Dong's hand trembled slightly.

Of course she could tell.

These two people are shirking their responsibilities.

But the problem is,

Not everything they said was a lie.

Yu Xiaogang's theory is indeed wrong.

Moreover, it was Tianmu who publicly denied it.

This fact,

That was enough to solidify the "unshakable Yu Xiaogang" in Bibi Dong's heart.

It collapsed completely.

She suddenly felt very tired.

I'm too tired to argue anymore.

I don't want to maintain it anymore.

I don't want to deceive myself anymore.

That's enough.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes, and when she opened them again,

Those eyes held only cold rationality.

"Since Yu Xiaogang's theory has been proven wrong,"

"Then abandon them all."

"From today onwards, the Spirit Hall's research on spirit beasts..."

"restart."

She stood up, her voice resolute.

"I need truly useful intelligence."

"I want to understand soul beasts, especially those legendary soul beasts."

"Otherwise, what will we use to hunt?"

These words were like a pardon to the two kneeling men.

"The Spirit Hall will fully support you."

"Resources, manpower, permissions—give us whatever you want."

"But only one point."

Bibi Dong's gaze was chillingly cold.

Don't let me down again.

"Yes! It is our honor to serve the Spirit Hall!"

The two felt as if they had been given a new lease on life and kowtowed repeatedly.

As for the research results left behind by Yu Xiaogang,

At this moment.

It has already been sentenced to death.

at the same time.

Above the sky, the images shifted once more.

The battle between Brigitte and Bear King has ended.

The glory of the rankings slowly faded.

The next moment—a new scene is loading.

Tian Dou City.

Brigitte's victory ignited the entire city.

"We won! We really won!"

"A female healing-type spirit beast defeats a male combat-type spirit beast in a direct confrontation!"

"This is absolutely a historic moment!"

Tang Yuehua was so excited she almost jumped up.

"That's the meaning of rankings!"

"It can't be wrong!"

Her gaze never left the sky.

The moment the image changed, she noticed it immediately and couldn't help but shout:

"Master! Master!"

"Another legendary soul beast has appeared!"

Li Yannian then slowly opened his eyes and let out a burp.

"belch,"

"Sixth place..."

"As expected, it was her."

His gaze became meaningful.

And at this moment—in the far north.

Amidst endless wind and snow.

Hyotei stood beside Yuki-tei, her little mouth agape.

"Oh my god, sister..."

"Sister Brigitte is so strong!"

"Isn't she my father's student? How can she be so amazing!"

Xue Di remained calm but did not deny it.

"That's how she should be."

Hyotei's eyes lit up, and they moved closer.

"Sister, when are we going to see her?"

"I want to learn too!"

Xue Di gently tapped her forehead.

"Behave yourself."

"We cannot leave the far north without Father's permission."

"This is where he once stayed."

"It's also the safest place."

Hyotei pursed his lips.

"Hmph, Father is probably out there having a good time right now."

"Sister, you're taking this too seriously."

Anyway,

She smiled slyly.

"Once you make the list and get the rewards, we can do whatever we want!"

And at this moment,

The sky shone brightly.

Hyotei's eyes widened suddenly.

"elder sister!"

"Look!"

"now you!"

Snow Emperor looked up.

In the sky,

In the far north, endless blizzards rage.

A dazzling figure.

Emerging slowly from the depths of the wind and snow!
