Lin Yu sneered, "When you, Yu Xiaogang, were young, you hooked up with Bibi Dong, who was then just a naive Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, and used her status and position within Spirit Hall."
"From the Spirit Hall library, which possessed the most extensive collection of Spirit Master knowledge on the entire Douluo Continent, you secretly stole a large amount of Spirit theory knowledge."
"Yet, you claimed the knowledge you plagiarized from the Spirit Hall library was the result of your own many years of research."
"In this World, where Spirit Master theoretical knowledge is not widely circulated and most knowledge is held by only a few, you published the theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Spirits, gaining immense fame and earning the title of Grandmaster Yu."
"Do you dare to say that your knowledge was not plagiarized from Spirit Hall?"
The Douluo ContinentWorld was indeed like this; a vast amount of Spirit Master knowledge was held by a select few.
Knowledge is wealth!
Even major powers would not casually share knowledge with the entire continent.
Yu Xiaogang published the theory of the Ten Core Competencies of Spirits, which he plagiarized, but any larger SpiritSect or clan already understood it.
It was only some smaller clans, minor powers, or low-level Spirit Masters and civilian Spirit Masters who didn't quite understand.
This was also one of the main reasons why Yu Xiaogang was called Grandmaster Yu, invincible in Spirit theory, yet also mocked, ridiculed, and widely questioned.
Another main reason was that Yu Xiaogang was only a Spirit Grandmaster at level 29.
"You! You!" Yu Xiaogang's hand trembled slightly as he pointed at Lin Yu, his face growing increasingly unsightly, clearly panicking: "How is this possible! How is this possible! How does this kid know all this!"
A painful memory instantly flooded Yu Xiaogang's mind.
It was a memory from Yu Xiaogang's youth; he encountered Bibi Dong during a journey and, after learning she was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, he harbored malicious intentions to use her identity to steal and plagiarize knowledge from Spirit Hall.
He, Yu Xiaogang, had an excellent background, being a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
However, he was merely a useless individual with innate spirit power of half a level, and his Spirit had mutated, awakening into the Luo San PaoSpirit, which was considered an extreme disgrace by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He became the shame of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
At 18, he was expelled from the clan by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
Knowing that it would be difficult for him to cultivate into a powerful individual, Yu Xiaogang had long harbored the idea of pursuing the path of researching Spirit theory.
Thus, after meeting Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang went to great lengths to try and curry favor with her.
He wanted to use Bibi Dong to enter the Supreme Pontiff Palace to steal knowledge, to make a name for himself in Spirit theory, and to prove to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan that he, Yu Xiaogang, was not a complete waste!
At that time, Bibi Dong was still an innocent, naive simpleton.
This allowed Yu Xiaogang to successfully win Bibi Dong's heart, and then he infiltrated the core of Spirit Hall.
With Bibi Dong's assistance, Yu Xiaogang secretly entered the library every day to steal knowledge.
He eventually published his Spirit theory, successfully gaining immense fame across the continent, becoming renowned, and acquiring a great deal of recognition.
It was also because Yu Xiaogang secretly entered the library to plagiarize that the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall were unaware that Yu Xiaogang was stealing knowledge from their own Spirit City library.
They even thought Yu Xiaogang had some genuine insights and had researched them himself.
So, under Bibi Dong's strong recommendation, Yu Xiaogang later became an honorary Elder of Spirit Hall, gaining an extremely high status and position!
However, because Qian Xunji did not approve of Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang being together back then.
After becoming famous, Yu Xiaogang, fearing being eliminated by Qian Xunji, quickly left the spirit power. (This will be explained in detail in tomorrow's chapter.)
Few people on the continent knew that he had once joined Spirit Hall, and Yu Xiaogang never publicly declared that he had joined Spirit Hall or was an honorary Elder.
He was worried that if he spoke out, others might say that his theoretical knowledge was not his own research but was learned or stolen from Spirit Hall, which would inevitably affect his reputation as a Grandmaster.
Therefore, when Lin Yu revealed these matters, although there was no concrete evidence to prove he plagiarized, it made the already guilty Yu Xiaogang begin to panic.
"If I let this kid keep talking, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will ruin my reputation!"
"Shut up! You shut up!!!" Yu Xiaogang became anxious, losing control of his emotions for a moment, and yelled out in extreme distress.
He was not a person who easily became impulsive, distressed, or irrational.
But Yu Xiaogang had always harbored a desire to one day silence everyone who questioned and mocked his Spirit theory, to become a true Grandmaster of Spirit theory!
To slap everyone in the face and reach the pinnacle of theory!
However, his talent and ability were limited, and he lacked that high level. Despite possessing a large amount of stolen Spirit Hall knowledge, it was difficult to change the current situation of being mocked and questioned.
But Tang San's appearance gave Yu Xiaogang hope and an endless craving!
Tang San had innate full spirit power, extremely high talent, and his Spirit happened to be the so-called useless Blue Silver GrassSpirit.
This was simply the perfect tool for him, Yu Xiaogang, to break all doubts, reach the pinnacle of Spirit Master theory, silence everyone, and prove himself!
As long as he successfully helped Tang San develop and become a powerful individual!
Then all the mockery and doubts would crumble on their own, allowing him to reach the pinnacle of Spirit theory, become a true Grandmaster, be revered and respected, and no one would dare to belittle him again!
Thus, he would finally feel vindicated and achieve his ambitions.
Therefore, face, reputation, and dignity were what Yu Xiaogang cared about most at the moment.
If others knew that his Spirit theoretical knowledge was not his own research but plagiarized, his future would be ruined, and he would be cursed!
It was precisely because he cared so much that Yu Xiaogang was so flustered. His anxious desire for Lin Yu to shut up clearly revealed his panic and the hypocrisy of wanting to cover up the truth, exposing his true colors.
Although Yu Xiaogang quickly realized his Gaffe, his earlier reaction had been fully observed by the onlookers.
"Holy cow! Could it be that this Yu Xiaogang's Spirit theoretical knowledge was really plagiarized from Spirit Hall and then claimed as his own research?"
"If that kid was talking nonsense, why was Yu Xiaogang so flustered? This Yu Xiaogang definitely has a problem!"
"If he really plagiarized knowledge and claimed it as his own many years of research, then this Yu Xiaogang is too shameless!"
"My goodness! I didn't expect this Yu Xiaogang to be such a shameless person!"
"What kind of 'Grandmaster Yu' is he! If a plagiarist dog can claim knowledge as his own and become a Grandmaster, then wouldn't everyone be able to become a Grandmaster!"
The onlookers at the scene immediately erupted in a chorus of insults.
"Could it be that Teacher really..." Tang San wasn't a fool either; from Yu Xiaogang's expression and reaction just now, he could tell that what Lin Yu said might all be true.
