Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 25 The Value of Yu Xiaogang

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and tightened her grip on the scepter, sensing that Su Cheng's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing," Su Cheng said, spreading his hands. "This is a secret technique I developed specifically for my own unique situation, so telling you wouldn't be of much use. Besides, to be honest, this technique concerns my martial soul, and I don't think anyone would want to reveal the weakness of their martial soul to the public, would they?"

He wouldn't mention anything about Yu Xiaogang; he was a good pawn, to be used only at crucial moments.

Saying it now is pointless and will only alert the other party.

Bibi Dong was somewhat suspicious of this explanation, but she never expected that Su Cheng would know about her and Yu Xiaogang's past, and was even less willing to give up this only hope at this stage.

"Just tell me directly, what benefits do you need for me to hand over the method to remedy the malignant mutation of your martial soul to the Spirit Hall?"

Even though Su Cheng had emphasized that this was a secret technique applicable only to individuals, she still had full confidence in Yu Xiaogang.

In Bibi Dong's mind, that person was strong and confident, a first-rate sage in the world, and now all he lacked was a way of thinking.

"Oh?" Su Cheng scrutinized Bibi Dong upon hearing this, and said with a hint of amusement, "Then, Your Holiness, what price are you prepared to pay? This secret technique is extremely valuable to me, but I'm afraid the other elders of the Spirit Hall won't think so. How do you plan to pay the difference?"

Bibi Dong frowned even more deeply.

She could easily kill this person with her strength, like crushing an ant, but his gaze seemed to see right through her.

"Tell me what you want first."

"A hundred thousand-year soul ring." Su Cheng said, holding up three fingers. "Three."

"What?!"

Bibi Dong's eyes widened in shock, and she gasped in astonishment at his shamelessness and greed.

Not to mention Bibi Dong, even Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, who were in the offering hall at this moment, were speechless.

What does a 100,000-year soul ring even mean?

For any Title Douluo, it is an existence that is unattainable. With a 100,000-year soul ring, fighting against opponents of higher levels is a piece of cake.

He immediately shouted sternly, "Impossible! Don't even think about it!"

Bibi Dong realized that she had acted rashly and impulsively out of concern. She believed that Su Cheng had seen her extreme desire for the secret technique and was therefore making exorbitant demands.

But three 100,000-year soul rings are obviously impossible; she's not that crazy.

"Then it seems there's no point in talking."

Su Cheng shrugged and said casually.

To be honest, he doesn't really need the Spirit Hall anymore. He has already obtained most of the resources he needs, and everything else is dispensable.

"Your Holiness, I shall take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

At this moment, Bibi Dong called out to him with a gloomy expression, "At most one."

"What?"

"You're offering a 100,000-year soul ring in exchange for your secret technique? I advise you not to go too far," she said through gritted teeth.

Su Cheng was somewhat surprised.

His words just now were mostly a test; he didn't actually expect to get a single spirit ring.

After all, it had been clearly stated before that this method was only suitable for him.

I didn't expect this woman to be so willing to spend so much.

However, it is clear that we cannot refuse now, as refusing again would be tantamount to provocation.

He didn't want to completely enrage Bibi Dong, because if she really went berserk, things would get very difficult.

As for Qian Daoliu, Su Cheng wasn't confident that he would completely break ties with the utterly insane Bibi Dong for his sake.

I'm not very familiar with him.

Given Qian Daoliu's temperament, it's hard to say what choice he would make if things truly became unmanageable, all for the sake of "putting the overall situation first."

It should be noted that Bibi Dong has been undergoing divine trials for several years now, and her strength is difficult to fathom.

That level 99 Grand Elder could only serve as a deterrent; Su Cheng never truly considered him his trump card.

Besides, Su Cheng wasn't planning to refuse; he'd made a killing on this deal.

He immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth secretly, but said disdainfully, "I'm afraid you won't have the ability to absorb it then."

"Whatever, it wasn't prepared for me anyway."

"?" Bibi Dong's expression immediately darkened. "You prepared this for Qian Renxue?"

"Obviously."

As Su Cheng stepped out of the palace, he glanced back at the Papal Palace and scoffed inwardly.

He found Bibi Dong's blind confidence and worship of Yu Xiaogang quite laughable.

Su Cheng's earlier statement was not an excuse. This method of harmonizing attributes is currently only suitable for himself; as for other martial souls, a different approach is needed for each specific condition.

The malignant mutation of a martial soul is caused by the accumulation of attributes that clash with the main body. The principle is easy to explain, but how easy is it to see how the attributes of different martial souls change?

Moreover, the difference between beast spirits and weapon spirits is vast. It would be a miracle if Yu Xiaogang, with his level of expertise, could even understand it. Not to mention that his spirit, Luo Sanpao, is inherently unique, not simply a case of malignant mutation.

What truly surprised Su Cheng was Bibi Dong's current mindset.

Her attitude was nothing like that of someone treating a first love who left her with regrets in her youth; it was more like she was worshipping a deity in her heart.

Did Bibi Dong really love Yu Xiaogang?

It was probably love at one time.

A naive and inexperienced young saint falls in love at first sight with a learned but frustrated theoretical master, and spends several months with him, filling the void in her heart.

But after so many years, what kind of love can last so long?

It's important to understand that at the time, one was a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the other was an outcast of the three upper sects. Given their completely unequal status, it was impossible for them to openly and legitimately fall in love.

If you calculate it this way, how long have we actually spent together? We don't even really know each other well enough.

After so many years apart, Bibi Dong probably has to fill in the blanks in her mind to imagine what Yu Xiaogang looks like.

Even if Yu Xiaogang himself was as great as he appeared to Bibi Dong back then, he probably wouldn't fit the perfect image she envisioned today.

Not to mention that Yu Xiaogang simply doesn't have that ability.

Su Cheng's speculation was not without basis.

Logically speaking, even if there are still lingering feelings, it shouldn't be twisted to this extent.

For a vague and uncertain possibility, one would sacrifice a 100,000-year soul ring.

After all, Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong are not the same.

One is a naive foolishness resulting from inexperience in the ways of the world, and the other is a genuine lack of common sense; the difference between the two is quite significant.

In retrospect, this feeling seems more like an obsession.

Her hatred for Qian Xunji and her love for Yu Xiaogang were perhaps also influenced by the divine thoughts of the Rakshasa God.

Yu Xiaogang has become a symbol in Bibi Dong's heart, her spiritual pillar and emotional support.

In this state, if faith is shattered, it's unknown what the consequences will be.

"What a lunatic..."

Su Cheng shook his head and sighed, but a smile appeared on his lips.

He was extremely pleased with today's discovery, and in an instant, even more ideas flashed through his mind.

In the final stages, relying solely on Qian Renxue might not be enough; Yu Xiaogang's role might be far greater than expected.

Moreover, someone like Yu Xiaogang is actually very easy to manipulate because his desires are so obvious.
