In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 435 Xiaobai is out of prison

"To practice this skill, one must castrate oneself."

In the dormitory, Yu Xiaogang stared wide-eyed at the contents of the book with a grim expression.

He had already eagerly flipped through several pages of the booklet that Wang Zhao had given him. The beginning was all scattered content, and it was clear that it was indeed the notes that the Dragon King Palace Master had taken during his cultivation.

He was completely engrossed in reading. Although he didn't understand many parts because the content was so far-fetched. If it weren't for the fact that the content on the pages seemed so serious, and he was certain that Wang Zhao had no reason to tease him... anyway, even if the content was profound (and absurd), he would still be completely absorbed in it.

Unexpectedly, as he flipped through the book, when he was about halfway through, he suddenly came across this sentence.

Yu Xiaogang: "???"

Castration... Seriously?!

His expression instantly turned incredibly strange, mixed with a hint of gloom from feeling like he'd been tricked.

In his mind, the image of Wang Zhao, who was eight feet tall and had a magnificent appearance, appeared.

That looks like someone who has been castrated?

Yu Xiaogang's face grew increasingly grim. Combined with the unease he had sensed while reading the previous passages, he immediately realized that Wang Zhao was probably just making fun of him...

Yu Xiaogang's fingers gripped the pages tightly, as if he were about to tear them to shreds at any moment, but after a while, he calmed down.

Because there's still half a book left to read.

Besides, after calming down, a little curiosity also began to arise in his heart.

He was genuinely curious to see a cultivation technique that required self-castration. Even if the content was all nonsense, he wanted to know how Wang Zhao was going to concoct the remaining half-book's contents.

While pondering, Yu Xiaogang turned the page that contained only the sentence, "To practice this skill, one must castrate oneself."

Next page...

There's still only one sentence.

"Success is possible even without castration."

"..."

Yu Xiaogang's tense expression relaxed slightly. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the previous sentence was just a joke played on him by the Dragon King Palace Master?"

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang became serious again.

Skip this page, and next to it is some relatively neat and orderly content.

The text is arranged in paragraphs, and the wording is standard and appropriate.

Yu Xiaogang looked at it cautiously for a while, and her expression became more and more serious.

There's something real!

...After a short while, Yu Xiaogang closed the book, having already skimmed through the remaining contents.

Why is it described as rough?

Because the remaining content was quite extensive and somewhat difficult to understand, he didn't expect to finish reading and fully comprehend it that night. Therefore, he decided to first skim through the remaining material to see if the general knowledge and viewpoints were reasonable.

Otherwise, if you really have to read through each page in detail, only to suddenly see a sentence at the end saying "The content is purely fictional, please do not apply it to reality (laughs)," wouldn't that be a complete waste of time?

Yu Xiaogang gave herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Finally, the proven fact is...

There's definitely something real in this booklet!

At least, it shouldn't be a joke.

Yu Xiaogang also understood the meaning of the two pages in the middle that read "To practice this skill, one must castrate oneself" and "If one does not castrate oneself, one can still succeed."

It turns out that the booklet Wang Zhao gave him had a lot of scattered notes in the first half, which looked like rough drafts when doing math problems; while the second half looked like... two methods of solving the problem!

In other words, it's a way to enable his martial soul, Luo Sanpao, to defy fate!

According to the book, there are two methods.

One option is that he would have to castrate himself.

Another option is one that doesn't require him to castrate himself.

The description of changing one's fate by self-castration is less extensive, while the description of changing one's fate by other means is more extensive, with some overlap between the two methods; however, if one does not castrate oneself, the conditions required to change one's fate against all odds are more numerous and difficult to fulfill.

In short, according to the records in this book, as long as he castrates himself, he can relatively easily and effortlessly change his fate!

Without castrating himself, he would have to walk a difficult path!

Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought.

He sorted out his thoughts and started thinking from the beginning. The first thing that came to mind was:

If the entire contents of this booklet were simply in the form of messy, illegible notes, like the first half, then it would align with what Wang Zhao told him: that it was just a simple record of some insights and experiences.

However, this is not the case.

The latter half of the content was like a professional textbook, clearly prepared by Wang Zhao.

The reason why Wang Zhao made such meticulous preparations, apart from him being bored or wanting to leave behind a legacy after his death, is probably only—Liu Erlong!

Yu Xiaogang was already vaguely convinced that it was definitely Liu Erlong who asked Wang Zhao to compile this booklet and give it to him!

As a legendary figure with similar circumstances but vastly different achievements, Yu Xiaogang had a detailed understanding of Wang Zhao's experiences.

Several years ago, Liu Erlong probably had little interaction with Wang Zhao, so it's unlikely she would casually abandon her long-established Blue Tyrant Academy to work at Hidden Dragon Academy. Therefore, while it's unclear why Wang Zhao took a liking to Liu Erlong, he must have promised her some conditions to recruit her, and those conditions were undoubtedly…

Yu Xiaogang's gaze grew brighter, his eyes sparkling with a light called "wisdom." But soon after, his mood suddenly plummeted.

He stared silently at the booklet in his hand, lost in thought.

……

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

From that night on, the group of teachers and students of Shilake made up their minds to join Blue Tyrant Academy.

As expected, Tang San and the others became members of the academy's representative team and began preparing for the Soul Master Competition, which would take place approximately two years later.

Tian Dou City.

On a deserted and quiet road.

Dai Mubai clutched his buttocks, his gaze vacant, and he walked along with a numb expression.

Suddenly, he turned his head.

Looking back, there was a closing door. Through the crack, one could vaguely see soldiers, prisoners, and a few well-dressed people inside.

"Scar giegie... no, ptooey! Scar, scar..."

"And there are avalanches..."

"How dare you bully and humiliate me like this!"

Gradually, Dai Mubai's eyes turned bloodshot.

"you……"

"You guys have gone too far!!!"

Snapped!
