Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Truth Doctor, Son-in-Law of the Spirit Hall

As evening fell, all the buildings and streets in Wuhun City were lit up.

Under the cover of the dark starry sky, the city was as bright as day.

There are even more pedestrians on the streets; their enthusiasm for conquering the night is unlikely to diminish for at least another year or two.

Almost all the shops were still open, and Flanders and his companions were eating at a restaurant.

When his dream girl Liu Erlong arrived, Flander suffered a major financial loss, going straight to the most popular restaurant in the outer city of Wuhun City and requesting a private room on the second floor.

Liu Erlong leaned against the window, gazing at the dazzling lights outside, a look of longing on his face.

"This is really unexpected. I remember the last time I came to Wuhun City was four years ago. It's completely different now."

Flander laughed, "Of course! This is the era of soul tools. Under the leadership of Saint Master Radio, the changes will only get bigger and bigger. I've heard there will even be flying soul tools in the future..."

"And what is that?" Liu Erlong asked Flander curiously.

Flander had specifically looked into the relevant information, invited Liu Erlong to sit down, and then began to show off his knowledge.

The aviation consortium, facilitated by soul beasts, will launch a manned flight plan using soul-guided vehicles in the future.

From now on, even ordinary people will be able to enjoy the benefits of soul tools.

It is said that the speed is a thousand miles a day, and it can take a day to go directly from Tiandou City to Xingluo City!

"This...this is simply unbelievable! Flander, no wonder you all rushed to Wuhun City. It seems that only here can you get so much information." Liu Erlong exclaimed repeatedly.

Flander smiled smugly, "Just as I expected, Spirit City will be the center of the Douluo Continent in the future, no, from this moment on."

"I also heard that the Spirit Hall is going to collaborate with Seagod Island to launch a transportation soul tool! I heard it's called the Soul Guiding Vehicle."

Flanders then began to speak at length again.

Liu Erlong's eyes lit up with surprise as he listened.

A woman like her who loves novelty is full of enthusiasm for these things.

Yu Xiaogang, who was listening nearby, didn't feel so good. He considered Ladio his nemesis.

Now that Flanders is praising the changes Latio has brought, can he be happy?

His face was grim. He coughed twice and said:

"They're just some basic applications. Nothing much to say. Flander, are you like those ordinary, mundane people, marveling at these trivial things?"

"..." Flander's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "Yu Xiaogang, you really are a spoilsport!"

Everyone else is happily gossiping, why are you the only one being different?!

You're so amazing, yet I haven't seen you produce any research results!

The manuscript I submitted yesterday was returned by the Scholars' Alliance again. How dare I even tell them?

Liu Erlong only then realized that Yu Xiaogang was right beside her, not because she had no feelings for him anymore.

Rather, it's because these things are all too novel.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang has changed his appearance, making it difficult for her to identify with his identity.

"Let's talk about something else then. Latio's reputation is so good right now; almost everyone in the world is grateful to him, right? The students of our Blue Tyrant Academy all adore him..."

Liu Erlong then began to recount the situation in Tiandou City.

Although not all of Latio's deeds could be told there, and only half of them were true, it still attracted many worshippers.

Of the ten people, at least half are fans of the Holy Master Ladio.

"It's only natural that Saint Master Radio is respected. I admire him greatly; he truly serves his country and its people. I've seen four or five orcs appear in Heaven Dou City, and now the mainstream is using the spirit rings he mentioned..."

When Liu Erlong mentioned Ladio, his words were full of admiration.

"..." Yu Xiaogang's face darkened even more. Good heavens, she's cheating on him right in front of him, isn't she?

Even though I can't take you in and even ran away from the wedding, you shouldn't like someone else!

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, intending to cough a couple more times, and then casually mention that the Holy Master Latio was nothing special, so that Liu Erlong could dispel his enchantment.

"Flander, did the Holy Master Latio really kill a god?" Liu Erlong looked at Flander expectantly.

Flander nodded and said, "It's true! And that was back then with Haotian Douluo... Now, there are almost more than ten gods in Wuhun City, right? That's really impressive! Saint Master Radio is even more than a god..."

"Cough cough..." Yu Xiaogang coughed again, clenching his fist.

However, he dared not speak ill of the Holy Master Latio any further.

If Latio's die-hard fans hear this, he might get beaten up!

Liu Erlong's attention finally returned to Yu Xiaogang.

Actually, after so long, she doesn't know how to face Yu Xiaogang now.

According to the original plan, she wanted to throw herself into Yu Xiaogang's arms.

But now that Yu Xiaogang has changed his image, she simply can't do it.

The joy of seeing each other again after more than a decade could only be kept inside, unable to be expressed.

"Xiaogang, what's wrong?" Liu Erlong asked with concern.

Yu Xiaogang sighed and gave Flander a look, signaling him to speak.

"Little Gang..." Flander began to recount.

He doesn't hold back when he speaks, and he doesn't want to create a positive image for Yu Xiaogang, so he just says whatever comes to mind. Yu Xiaogang didn't hear about his image as a suffering scholar.

Instead, he's increasingly resembling a clown who can't stand being alone.

He glared at Flander, then snapped angrily, "Flander! What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Liu Erlong looked surprised. Although she was love-struck and idealized Yu Xiaogang, it was hard for her to speak up for Yu Xiaogang based on Flander's description.

Left with no other option, Yu Xiaogang could only try to save face by continuing, "It's like this..."

Flander drank his wine in silence, and as he heard Yu Xiaogang's version of the story, his face twitched from time to time. Good heavens, this old man is truly shameless!

No wonder he won Erlong's heart. If I were to boast like him, would Erlong fall for me too?

After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Liu Erlong believed him completely and looked at Yu Xiaogang with heartache.

"Xiao Gang, I never imagined you'd suffered so much. It's truly a cruel twist of fate. If it weren't for this twist of fate, and that woman Bibi Dong's schemes against you, you'd probably be in the same boat as Saint Ladio..."

"Pfft...!!!" Flander couldn't hold it in and spat out all the wine in his mouth.

He sprayed Yu Xiaogang's face with water.

"Hahaha……!"

Flanders slammed his fist on the table and burst into laughter.

Liu Erlong glared at Flander with displeasure. "What's so funny?!"

Flander wiped his mouth. "It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Yu Xiaogang didn't argue with Flander. He knew that there were some parts that embellished his own image, which made Flander laugh. It wouldn't be good if he questioned Flander and exposed him.

Liu Erlong continued, "It's hateful that the Scholars' Alliance doesn't even know who the real masters are!"

"Not only did they suppress Xiaogang's talent, but they'd rather promote a child than let Xiaogang shine? Is this Ning Fengzhi? Let's go settle the score with him! And he even said he respected Xiaogang!"

Liu Erlong slammed his fist on the table in anger and stood up, about to turn around and confront Ning Fengzhi.

Flander and Yu Xiaogang quickly grabbed Liu Erlong.

Going to settle scores with Ning Fengzhi? Do they really not know the meaning of death?

Besides, Flander had already read the scholars' alliance's reply; it was clear that Yu Xiaogang's paper was utter nonsense, and it was normal for it to be returned.

Moreover, Yu Xiaogang always used a pseudonym when submitting his articles, so no one knew that it was Yu Xiaogang who submitted them.

"Erlong, there's no need to rush. Jixiang will be holding a temporary lecture tomorrow, and I will publicly raise my questions to prove my theory!" Yu Xiaogang said proudly, tilting his head back.

Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang with heartache in her eyes.

"Xiao Gang, I'm so sorry to have put you through this..."

……

The next day.

Academic building.

In the large conference room on the first floor, Ji Xiang began to give a lecture. This lecture was added at the last minute and was not of a high standard, but thousands of people still came. Flanders and his two companions were in the audience.

At the beginning, Ji Xiang bowed and apologized.

He said that his published theory still has problems and needs further consideration and improvement.

Then he said he would figure out the key to the problem in a short time.

In short, this was a public apology. Not only this lecture, but the Scholars Alliance also issued a statement pointing out the flaws in the auspicious version of the core magic array.

Because Jixiang was just a teenager, and he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and no loss was caused.

Although the core magic array has significant drawbacks, it is not unusable, so not many people truly blame Ji Xiang.

They even maintained his status as a researcher, hoping he could figure it out as soon as possible.

Ji Xiang cried on stage; she was deeply moved.

Down in the audience, Yu Xiaogang was so angry that his face turned red. He was going to publicly deliver a fatal blow to Ji Xiang, but Ji Xiang actually admitted his mistake first!

Moreover, these people didn't act as aggressively towards him as they had towards him; instead, they forgave Jixiang.

This almost made Yu Xiaogang explode with anger!

Liu Erlong sighed, "This boy looks very honest, it's definitely not his fault. Besides, he also noticed the problem. Xiao Gang, don't take it to heart."

Flanders nodded slightly and said, "To know one's mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue."

"..." Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his chest trembling violently.

forgive?

This is not a question of forgiveness or not.

Instead, he wants to rise to power by stepping on auspicious stars!

Now that Jixiang is behaving himself, what leverage does he have left?

"No...it's not over yet, Erlong, you have to help me..."

Yu Xiaogang said through gritted teeth.

……

As the lecture ended, Ji Xiang's eyes were still filled with tears.

He was still just a teenager, and he felt guilty for making a huge mistake.

He was surprised that those people still thought highly of him, which made him feel even more guilty.

Ning Fengzhi patted him on the shoulder and led him back to his room, comforting him as he said, "Jixiang, if you really feel bad about it, then try to figure out the correct ratio as soon as possible. This is the best era for scholars..."

Jixiang nodded vigorously. He had only slept two or three hours a day for the past few days in order to find out the truth as soon as possible.

"Squeak..."

The two pushed open the door and entered.

Inside the room, Ladio was sitting at the table, writing something.

Upon seeing that Master Latio had returned, Ji Xiang became excited.

Now, knowing even more about the achievements of the Holy Master Ladio, his reverence for him grew even stronger.

"Holy Master Latio, you have arrived..."

Ladio beckoned to him, his words brief and to the point: "Come here, sit down."

Ji Xiang quickly sat down opposite Ladio, like a student.

"What's the problem?" Latio asked.

"Yes, when I was researching the proportions of metallic materials..."

Ji Xiang quickly pointed out the problem.

The current problem is actually quite simple: how can we ensure that the materials used to write the inscriptions can maintain their effectiveness for a long time?

Besides metal powder, what else can be added?

Ladio listened patiently, and then began to comb Jixiang's hair.

Actually, Jixiang is currently stuck in a rut. What she should do most is relax, instead of overthinking.

Afterwards, filled with auspicious gratitude, Ladio used Phase Flame to depart.

……

The scene shifts, and Ladio returns to the laboratory.

In the lab, Xiaobai was fast asleep, slumped over the table.

Sensing his presence, she immediately woke up and sat up, her eyes filled with curiosity as she looked at Ladio.

"Friend! Oh no, I mean, Master Latio, you're finally back! Do you know how many times I've come looking for you?" Little White's tone carried a hint of resentment.

"Hmm?" Latio asked, puzzled.

"Master Latio, you really tricked me so badly! Hmph..." Little White circled around Latio, looking annoyed.

"What did I lie to you about?"

Ladio asked.

"You never told me you were the Holy Master Latio!" Little White said, feigning anger.

If it were anyone else, they'd probably be secretly thrilled right now. To be friends with the Holy Master Latio is such a blessing!

Ladio said, "I have never denied my identity."

"..."

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment. "That's right," he thought. "Ladio has never lied to me."

Moreover, normally, having encountered Latio here, one would surely guess that he is Latio the Master.

Little White muttered and snorted, "Then I was wrong, okay..."

Ladio hummed in agreement, looked Little White up and down, and then asked, "Can you sense any change in your soul power?"

Xiao Bai nodded and replied, "Yes! I felt it. I later found out that what you put into my stomach was actually a divine throne! By the way, our High Priest asked you if you needed anything else..."

"No need." Ladio raised his hand and placed it on Little White's belly.

Her fair face flushed slightly, but she didn't flinch. She scoffed, "Even though I'm a soul beast and don't care about these things, you should know I'm a woman..."

The next second, Ladio withdrew his hand, and a red ball of light followed.

A look of pain appeared on Xiaobai's face. "Ouch, that hurts a little..."

Ladio said, "I'm sorry, it's because it's starting to merge with your soul."

Ladio placed his other hand on Little White's shoulder, beginning to soothe her pain.

Soon, the white-faced boy regained his color and looked at the divine throne in Ladio's hand. "So this is the divine throne they wanted. It doesn't look particularly special..."

Ladio observed the changes in the divine position and Little White, and from these changes, he grasped a new theory.

"The source of soul power... perhaps, it's time to activate the cultivation technique." (End of Chapter)
