After the groundwork laid in the first three sections, coupled with the bombshell revelations in the fourth, by the time readers reached this point, their perception of Yu Xiaogang had plummeted to rock bottom, including the fans who had been successfully hoodwinked by him and felt sorry for him during this period.
His twisted values, vicious thoughts, and hypocritical facade made him a remarkably explosive figure, even in the world of scandalous revelations.
Many people hadn't even finished reading the article before they started furiously commenting below.
You must know, most of those who hold the Star Picking Token are Spirit Saint experts or young, talented students, and these people often come from extraordinary backgrounds.
And Yu Xiaogang's claim that Spirit Hall's subsidies to low-level spirit masters were a way to buy people's hearts offended the vast majority of ordinary spirit masters the most.
"To say that Spirit Hall's subsidies are to buy people's hearts? Then why don't you try to buy them too? You're not even willing to try."
"I know this guy; I can't reveal his real identity, but he's always the fastest and most eager to collect Spirit Hall's subsidies every month."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a genius with twin spirits and innate full soul power, taught and screwed up like this, and he still has the nerve to call himself a Theoretical Grandmaster? More like Theoretical Da Shi, right?"
"Doesn't anyone at that Shrek Academy care? Are the Two Great Empires and Spirit Hall just twiddling their thumbs?
Recruiting such talented students and then trying to screw them over or ruin their potential futures makes my scalp crawl."
"Others save you to seek repayment for their kindness? But if they hadn't saved you, you would have died!"
"I felt something was off before. If a student doesn't have deep-seated hatred, how could they possibly risk the world's condemnation to commit such a thing as assassinating their teacher?"
"Actually having Blue Silver Grass absorb poison snake spirit rings, what a talent, let me laugh for a while first."
… …
After successfully destroying Yu Xiaogang's reputation in the fourth section and giving everyone a clear understanding of this guy's character,
Qin Feng pulled off a major stunt in the following fifth and sixth sections.
He pinned three things—Shrek Academy's inhumane teaching philosophy, Tang Hao's death, and Tang San's killing of his own brother—all on Gangzi's head.
Flender, the dean of Shrek Academy, was Yu Xiaogang's best brother and was known as part of the Golden Triangle.
The reason why this precious academy has such bizarre and creepy teaching philosophies,
such as pampering prevents talent, they must be placed in the harshest environment to sift through the sand, and only those who successfully survive the most brutal tests can be considered geniuses,
was all because of Gangzi's influence and instigation.
The purpose was also very simple: to do everything possible to stifle the talents of commoners and other forces without top-notch backgrounds,
ensuring that the great sects and large families always remained in a stable ruling position, unchallenged.
To avoid affecting the reputation of Liu Erlong, the other member of the Golden Triangle, Qin Feng specifically used Blue Tyrant Academy's style as a comparison.
Both are willing to recruit students from commoner backgrounds, but Blue Tyrant Academy treats geniuses and ordinary students equally, and its admission standards are very lenient.
Moreover, the teaching environment is extremely favorable, and sufficient teachers are dispatched for each hunting soul forest to ensure that no accidents occur.
In addition, regarding Tang Hao's death.
Although everyone knew that he was killed on the spot by Qin Feng for hunting down members of the Star Plucking Tower,
in the article, this was only a superficial reason; the real cause of death was due to Yu Xiaogang's constant sowing of discord behind the scenes.
And it wasn't just the incident two years ago but had been secretly planned long before, after learning of Mei Jie's existence.
Starting from the entrance of the Hunting Soul Forest, Tang San was instigated to repay kindness with hatred, turning against Qin Feng, his life-saving benefactor,
and then Tang San was tricked into initiating a special spirit duel that did not allow the use of spirits, causing Tang San to completely offend Qin Feng and himself to be seriously injured, lying in bed for half a month.
Finally, he subtly instilled the theory that Qin Feng was a threat into Tang Hao's mind.
Instances like these were countless.
On the one hand, he alienated Tang San and Qin Feng, and on the other hand, he stirred up hatred between Mei Jie and Tang Hao behind them.
Yu Xiaogang used six years to gradually tilt the balance in Tang Hao's heart, ultimately causing him to commit an irreparable mistake.
To increase credibility and authenticity,
Qin Feng also fabricated a large number of words that looked like Yu Xiaogang would say, and then had Tang San retell them in the form of memories.
Shrek Academy and Tang Hao's death were all part of the fifth section.
The sixth section, which served as the final ending, told the story of Tang San cutting off his own brother with great perseverance to restore his spirit, only to find that he had been deceived and then sought revenge on Yu Xiaogang.
In terms of content, this section was even more outrageous than the previous one, and Gangzi was indeed wronged.
Even cultivating a second spirit in advance and adding fire attributes to the Clear Sky Hammer were said to be because of Yu Xiaogang's deception.
However, because Tang San tortured Gangzi, extracted a lot of information, and inserted many video clips as evidence after editing, it looked even more credible.
Finally, Tang San took it upon himself to add several special spirit duel recordings,
with one side being the Tang San who was screwed over in reality, and the other side being the fantasy Tang San simulated in the virtual world, after all spirits had developed normally.
The entire article totaled more than 20,000 words, interspersed with a large number of pictures and video materials.
It would be basically impossible to read it completely in less than an hour.
But the article had only been published for a short time, and a terrifying craze immediately swept through the forum.
The topic of great sects deliberately harming, stifling, or even directly hunting down commoner geniuses was too shocking and struck a chord with many people.
Including Spirit Hall, the Two Great Empires, and the Upper Three Sects, many people had done this, and it had even become a tacit habit among the upper echelons.
The real world is far more cruel and dark than what is presented in novels.
Not to mention ordinary small families and forces, how many people within the Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall have been coerced and lured into joining?
Perhaps in the past, because of fear of retaliation, everyone could only dare to be angry but not dare to speak, silently burying their hatred in their hearts.
But now that the forum allows anonymity, if they don't strike hard now, when will they?
One new post after another, one buried past event after another, was instantly revealed.
