Wang Dong was very excited in the chat group and called out to everyone. She said there was so much gossip to talk about. Dark Avenger asked a question, remembering that Dugu Yan did not have much gossip around her. Shui Bing'er asked if they were talking about Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan changed her username to her real name and called out to Su Yan.
She told him to start his performance right now. Everyone in the chat group sent messages to cheer for her. Huo Wu looked at the chat and asked if Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff was inside the group. Bibi Dong responded with three question marks because she was confused by the sudden tag.
Over at Blazing Academy, seeing Bibi Dong appear in the group chat, Huo Wu instantly became nervous. She spent the entire night reading through all the chat history, and this Bibi Dong was real! She was her idol, the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong! Huo Wu typed into the chat group with excitement, greeting Her Holiness and introducing herself. She meant to say she was a big fan who admired her power, but her nervous typing made her mix up her words completely.
Inside the Crown Prince Mansion, Qian Renxue saw Huo Wu's post in the chat group and her expression became a bit strange. Admiring Bibi Dong? You really have great taste, she thought to herself.
I Am an Orphan sent a message to Liu Erlong about Huo Wu, telling her that Huo Wu admires Bibi Dong and that she knows what to do. Liu Erlong replied that she understood completely. She greeted Student Huo Wu and told her she had been granted qualification to join the Blind Douluo group without an assessment. If she had no objections, she would officially become a member of their Blind Douluo from now on.
Everyone in the chat group started laughing out loud. Huo Wu was confused and asked why this was happening. Shui Yue'er said she really envied Huo Wu because she found such a powerful organization as soon as she joined! Dugu Yan laughed hard and asked if Huo Wu had read the chat history. Considering Bibi Dong as an idol meant she was definitely a Blind Douluo.
Group Member No. 9 said this was called emotional intelligence. Joining the strongest organization in the chat right away and getting looked after by veteran members like Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, Bo Saixi, and Xiao Wu was incredibly smart! Hu Liena asked if Huo Wu also wanted to take her teacher as her master, just like Tang Ya did. Shui Yue'er laughed loudly again at the comment.
At Blazing Academy, Huo Wu was now speechless. Why were these people like this? She sent a message asking what was wrong with admiring Her Holiness. She explained that Bibi Dong became the Pope of Spirit Hall as a woman and possessed such great strength. Many female Spirit Masters on the continent viewed Her Holiness as an idol. It was clearly those bastards who had no taste!
Bibi Dong replied to Huo Wu, saying she thought Huo Wu was absolutely right. She told the young lady that this Supreme Pontiff had high hopes for her! Ning Rongrong sent a message praising the moment. Zhu Zhuqing mentioned that although what Huo Wu said made sense, they still would not support her.
I Am a Little Bird said she supported her because she thought Student Huo Wu had excellent taste and that Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff was a role model for female Spirit Masters to strive toward. Liu Erlong told her to give it a rest. Bo Saixi said that this Spirit Hall Elder was too eager for advancement! Everyone in the chat laughed again at the comment.
Sea Maiden Douluo said she did not know Bibi Dong, and that her idol was the High Priest of Sea God Island. Group Member No. 9 asked if she also liked the Hundred-Level Covenant. Bai Chenxiang said no, but just like Auntie Lingyuan, she was too eager for advancement! Everyone laughed at the situation.
At the Crown Prince Mansion, after finishing his meal, Su Yan looked at Qian Renxue and told her he planned to head out today to pick up Zhuqing and the others. He explained that if they were to come on their own, it might take several days, but if he took the Little Monkey with him, it would be done in about half a day. Qian Renxue nodded slightly upon hearing Su Yan's words and did not say anything.
Su Yan typed in the group chat, saying that yesterday, due to a tiny accident, they missed out on a day of gossip, but they were continuing today! Liu Erlong replied that it was indeed a tiny accident, but ended her message with a painful scream.
A sudden slap hit Liu Erlong's buttocks. She looked at Bibi Dong with a hint of resentment. Damn it! Just wait until they get back to Spirit City, and then she would see how she would mock her!
The members in the chat group sent messages saying they were ready to eat melons. Dugu Yan sent messages saying she was also ready to eat melons. Huo Wu felt surprised and asked why Dugu Yan was so brave and so impatient to face her own gossip. Xiao Wu explained that it was mainly because she knew she did not have much gossip, so she was fearless!
Group Member No. 9 said that was wrong, and even if she had gossip, she would not care because she was a veteran gossip-eater. Bo Saixi reminded Ye Lingling that it would be her turn tomorrow, and to see if she could still laugh then! Shui Yue'er asked Senior Bo Saixi if tomorrow's gossip was really that good, saying she felt the day after tomorrow's gossip would be the sweetest and biggest!
Gu Yuena asked about the day after tomorrow. Red Dust Dream Dream Dream felt confused. Xiao Xiao is the Cutest sent a confused message as well. Ma Xiaotao said the three great love brains of Spirit Hall were about to be fully assembled. I Am an Orphan sent question marks to express her confusion.
Inside the Crown Prince Mansion, Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded. Oh no! The Administrator's side effects were coming. Today was Dugu Yan, tomorrow was Ye Lingling, but the gossip for the following Ah Yin and Bibi Dong had already been consumed. It really was her turn. Damn it!
Su Yan typed into the chat, saying since Yanzi was really impatient, they should begin now! He explained that as he mentioned before, Yanzi actually did not have much gossip. Compared to the three tools of Shrek and the three love brains of Spirit Hall, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Shui Bing'er were extremely rare normal people.
The chat members sent question marks in response. Gu Yuena asked what he meant by extremely rare normal people. Another Gu Yuena said there seemed to be something wrong with what he was saying. Liu Erlong laughed and said the three tools of Shrek had already gathered, and now they were just missing the last love brain from Spirit Hall.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest asked what was so rare about being normal when a normal person is just a normal person. Wang Dong said she did not quite understand either, asking how normal people could be extremely rare. Zhu Zhuqing asked if there was some special meaning behind this extremely rare tag.
Su Yan was amused now. Qian Renxue could not help but ask why he was laughing. Su Yan typed in the chat that he was really laughing. He told everyone they might feel there was something wrong with how he was talking, but what if he told them that on this Douluo Continent, almost everyone was abnormal?
The chat filled with question marks once more. Huo Wu told Su Yan not to be so hyperbolic, asking how something as ridiculous as almost the whole continent being abnormal could be possible. Call Me Her Majesty the Empress said luckily she was a Spirit Beast, not a human! Group Member No. 9 asked Her Majesty not to make him laugh.
Shui Yue'er pointed out that every generation of Spirit Beasts had its Empress, and every generation of Spirit Beasts married a King of Hammers. Wang Dong joked about bringing a lover back to life. Su Yan sent question marks. Ning Rongrong teased that Her Majesty the Empress was not laughing anymore.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest asked the Empress why she was not laughing, asking if it was because she naturally did not like laughing. Xiao Wu and Ah Yin both sent dots to show their silence. Zi Ji told everyone not to go too far. Bi Ji said that in their Spirit Beast Clan, only Ah Yin and Xiao Wu were like that! Both versions of Gu Yuena agreed with her statement completely.
Su Yan was really laughing his head off right now. As a professional gossip-gathering Group Owner, he had professional training, and normally he would not laugh unless he could not help it!
Su Yan typed into the chat, asking everyone a question. Since they thought he was exaggerating, he pointed out that they had been gossiping in the Group Chat for so long. Setting aside Tang Hao, Tang San, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, or Qian Daoliu, he asked them to just take the people in this Group Chat as an example. Aside from Yanzi and the other two he just mentioned, he asked who dared to come out and tell him she was a normal person.
Huo Wu stepped forward and claimed she was normal, but Su Yan immediately called her a love brain, leaving Huo Wu full of question marks. I Am a Little Bird claimed she was normal too, but Su Yan called her the First Merit Douluo, which confused her just as much. Wang Dong then claimed she was normal, which caused Su Yan to burst out laughing. Wang Dong asked what he meant and if she was really that funny.
When Xiao Xiao is the Cutest said she was normal, Su Yan revealed that she once liked Wang Dong, leaving Xiao Xiao stunned. Red Dust Dream Dream Dream asked about herself, and Su Yan told her that she also liked Wang Dong, which shocked her completely.
In the second Douluo World at Shrek Academy, Xiao Xiao had just finished eating with Wang Dong and stepped out of the academy cafeteria. Seeing Su Yan's reply in the Group Chat, she was completely stunned. She gave Wang Dong's arm a hard pinch and asked why she had to dress as a boy, complaining that Wang Dong made her one of those abnormal people too. Wang Dong was also stunned, coming to terms with the fact that she really was not a normal person!
Zi Ji asked about their two Dragon Lords, and Bi Ji agreed with her. Su Yan just laughed out loud continuously, leaving both versions of Gu Yuena filled with question marks.
Su Yan then brought the conversation back to the main topic. He explained that Yanzi was the granddaughter of the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo. She was a real princess, pampered by her Titled Douluo grandfather since childhood, and everything had always gone smoothly for her. Even when she later encountered the protagonist Tang San, she did not trigger a love brain and fall for him just because she was defeated. Instead, like a normal person, she wanted revenge after falling out with him.
Su Yan expressed that he had to give her special praise here because before Tang San's Blue Silver Emperor Awakening, his looks were quite average! On the other hand, he noted that people like Huo Wu, Meng Yiran, Qian Renxue, and Ning Rongrong deserved a serious critique, stating they were qualified to apply for the Blind Douluo Combination. Both Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong reacted in shock.
At the Crown Prince Mansion, Qian Renxue was also stunned, wondering if Su Yan was starting to lay the groundwork to roast her now. Liu Erlong laughed loudly and asked Su Yan if he held back on Ning Rongrong during the last gossip session. Su Yan replied that he forgot at the time, but without his intervention, the Little Princess did indeed have feelings for Tang San early on.
Su Yan continued by explaining that speaking of Yanzi, they had to mention her Spirit, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, which produces toxins that severely torture its master. He admitted that speaking of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, he really did not know how to roast it. Douluo Continent was supposed to be a fantasy world, but it was really trash in terms of logic!
He detailed that without his intervention, Yanzi would have stayed at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and served as the vice-captain of their team. Their teacher, Qin Ming, actually came from Shrek Academy. Under Qin Ming's leadership, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team used the Great Spirit Arena matches as training, reaching the Silver Spirit rank within a year. Some nobles in Suotuo City invited their team to the Suotuo City Great Spirit Arena for a match and placed heavy bets on them.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy team won match after match, causing huge losses for the Great Spirit Arena. So, they found the Shrek Academy team, the protagonist group led by Tang San, to deal with them. It was during this match that the two sides met and fought, and something ridiculous happened. Yanzi's final move, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, was actually neutralized by Tang San using ignited Strong Realgar Wine!
Su Yan asked them all if they could imagine his feelings. Dugu Yan was left filled with question marks. Group Member No. 9 remarked that playing with poison would not end well. Bibi Dong asked if Su Yan had mentioned last time that Tang San's original world was just a low-level martial arts world. Bo Saixi noted that regardless of what world it was, neutralizing the poison of a Jade Phosphor Serpent Spirit with ignited realgar wine just did not seem right no matter how anyone looked at it.
In Suotuo City, Yanzi was fuming. She slammed the table, declared she was not eating anymore, and suggested they go to Shrek Academy so she could see for herself exactly how that bastard Tang San could neutralize her Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison! Zhu Zhuqing and the others were also caught between laughter and tears, noticing that every day after the gossip session, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were always the ones getting hurt!
Su Yan added that he did not know what to say either, but in short, this match cemented the fact that Douluo Continent belongs in the sewer of fantasy worlds. The final result of the match was that Heaven Dou Royal Academy lost, and Yanzi was severely affected by this defeat, being beaten to tears. But there was no helping it, as her mindset was bound to collapse when her proudest Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison was so easily countered by Tang San.
Su Yan advised Yanzi not to be in a hurry to cry yet, suggesting she go home and cry with her grandfather instead, because Tang San told him to his face that his poison was all trash! He asked her if that made her feel better, since her grandfather's Spirit was the Jade Phosphor Serpent and he played with poison his whole life, yet it was all trash in Tang San's eyes, making her little setback look small in comparison. Everyone in the chat praised his statement.
Yanzi was completely stunned now, wondering if he was trying to comfort her or kick her while she was down. She resolved that when she saw him in Heaven Dou City, she would make sure Ye Lingling got another taste of what the Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison felt like, which left Ye Lingling thoroughly confused.
Su Yan concluded that he really did not know how to roast this, questioning how Tang San, a guy from a martial arts world, could say the poison of Douluo Continent's Poison Douluo was all trash, and asking if that meant poisons in a martial arts world were more powerful than those in Douluo Continent.
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress asked if that was really so. Su Yan answered that it was not, explaining that hardly any experts in a martial arts world used poison because those with powerful internal energy could use it to expel poison from their bodies. Besides, hidden weapons and poison were considered low-life tactics in the martial arts world, and only Tang San, in his pure and noble self, could use hidden weapons and poison while still thinking of himself as a gentleman.
