Shocking! The Legendary Story of Yu Xiaogang!

He was, after all, the illustrious Martial Soul Theory Grandmaster of the Soul Master World...

Who wouldn't show him a little respect?

But today of all days!

A little brat had slandered him again and again!

That would have been bad enough.

But that little brat had actually dared to hit him!

If a face as handsome as his were disfigured...

He would destroy that little brat, whatever the cost!

"Just you wait... Just you wait..."

"Without my guidance on Martial Souls, sooner or later you'll regret this..."

"Boo-hoo..."

Tears streamed down Yu Xiaogang's aged face as he ran.

He was terrified that if he ran too slowly, Yu Fan would hit him with another Way of Jin and Che.

What Yu Fan hadn't expected was that Tang San would actually dare to slap Gangzi.

Could it be that Tang San had been bullied by him for two days straight...

And had become so mentally stifled that he wanted to take it out on Gangzi?

After all, in the original story, Tang San was a good boy who respected his teacher immensely.

Although later on, Tang San gradually became somewhat hypocritical, and even inspired the famous saying: "Better to be Xiao Yan's lackey than Tang San's."

Even though Qian Renxue had spared Tang San time and again, he had never considered letting her leave unscathed. He had even wanted to pull the weeds up by the roots, to prevent the Spirit Hall Empire from rising again.

In the grand finale, only out of consideration for Bibi Dong as she lay dying, as well as Yu Xiaogang and that melodramatic plotline...

Did Tang San finally, reluctantly spare Qian Renxue, whose divine position had been damaged.

But!

Tang San had still been pretty decent early on.

Just imagine...

When Xiao Wu sacrificed herself, he had grabbed a battered old hammer without any rings and charged in to go all out against a bunch of Soul Saints and Titled Douluo!

Who else could have shown that kind of courage?

Without singing his praises to an embarrassing degree, as long as Tang San could successfully develop a sound set of values...

Yu Fan was still willing to spare his life.

Otherwise...

He could only crush Tang San's head.

And put an early end to the Double Standards God King.

"Tang San, you did well this time."

Yu Fan nodded in satisfaction.

"I just found that guy a little annoying, that's all."

Before Tang San met Yu Fan, he had believed the only thing his master could teach him was knowledge.

But now, he felt that without strength like Yu Fan's...

No matter how extensive his knowledge was, he would probably just end up trampled under Yu Fan's feet, kissing the ground.

"Speaking of which... what cultivation level was that teacher, anyway?"

Tang San really wanted to know the answer. Just now, when Yu Fan's slash had cut Yu Xiaogang's face...

He had realized that Yu Fan's strength was already unfathomable.

But he really wanted to know what cultivation level Yu Xiaogang was.

Why hadn't he even dared to put up a little resistance?

And another thing...

When he had slapped Yu Xiaogang just now...

It had felt...

Like Yu Xiaogang was a total weakling!

Surely that couldn't have been his imagination?

Could it be that Yu Fan had broken through Yu Xiaogang's defenses, and that was why he had felt so weak when Tang San slapped him?

Yet Yu Fan merely raised a finger and wagged it.

"Actually, he's pretty damn impressive."

"How so?"

"He once said something: there are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters."

"That's a famous saying."

Tang San suddenly felt that Yu Xiaogang might actually have some substance after all.

After all, the amount of knowledge Yu Fan possessed didn't seem like something a normal human could have.

Only now did it occur to him.

How did Yu Fan know so much about Martial Souls?

Weren't the two of them the same age?

"Heh!"

Yu Fan gave a cold chuckle.

"After all, a genius who can insult himself twice in a single sentence is a rare sight in this world."

"..."

Tang San fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"Yu Fan, could you elaborate?"

He suddenly had a bad feeling, and at the same time felt immensely relieved that he hadn't taken Yu Xiaogang as his master.

Otherwise, he would have regretted it for the rest of his life.

"By the age of forty, he had already broken through to become a rank twenty Soul Grandmaster. Anyone else would have been a mediocrity, but he just happened to be born into an insanely powerful clan."

"This clan ranks as the third-strongest power on the entire continent, and as its eldest legitimate son, by all rights... the Martial Soul he awakened should have been incredibly powerful."

"But!"

"This guy doesn't follow the beaten path!"

"Because he was such trash, he couldn't withstand his Martial Soul's beneficial mutation, and it turned into a harmful one. It went from the top-tier Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul to a pig!"

"How big a gulf is there between a dragon and a pig?"

Yu Fan looked into Tang San's eyes.

Tang San's head was buzzing.

Although he had never seen a dragon, however he looked at it, those were two different species.

So...

How had Yu Xiaogang awakened a pig?

More precisely...

A pig with dragon blood?

"Uh..."

Even Tang San was at a loss for words for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he said,

"You mean..."

"He should have inherited a top-tier Martial Soul and enjoyed the best resources in his sect, with all kinds of powerful elders supporting him. He was bound to become a powerhouse renowned across the continent."

"But because of an innate problem, he couldn't withstand his Martial Soul's beneficial mutation, which accidentally became a harmful one. In the end, his Martial Soul transformed into a strange pig with dragon blood."

"And then..."

"At the age of forty, he broke through to Soul Grandmaster?"

According to the original story's setting,

Yu Xiaogang had already been stuck at Soul Grandmaster for several years.

In fact...

Yu Xiaogang was already in his forties now.

So when Yu Fan said he had broken through to Soul Grandmaster at forty...

There wasn't much wrong with it.

"Mm, that's about right."

Looking at Tang San, whose expression was as though he had swallowed a piece of fly shit,

Yu Fan said in a faint tone,

"Now think back to what he said."

Tang San murmured,

"'There are no trash Martial Souls...'"

"'Only trash Soul Masters...'"

Suddenly, he said, his face full of shock,

"There really is someone in this world who can insult himself twice in one sentence!"

"'There are no trash Martial Souls'-then what's his Martial Soul?"

"'There are no trash Soul Masters'-then what does that make him?"

Hearing Tang San's astonishing words,

Yu Fan knew that Tang San agreed with him too.

"Oh, right, his Martial Soul's skill is farting. I guess that makes him a control-type Soul Grandmaster."

"In a fight, he'd blast you with a fart. Who wouldn't be hard-controlled for a few seconds?"

"..."

His Martial Soul farted?

An image suddenly appeared in Tang San's mind of Yu Xiaogang using Martial Soul Possession with his pig Martial Soul and farting.

He nearly threw up.

Thank goodness... thank goodness he hadn't acknowledged someone like that as his teacher!

If he really had taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, he might well have been smelling farts right now!

Pain...

It was just too painful...

Fortunately, Yu Fan had stopped him in time.

Seeing the gratitude filling Tang San's eyes,

Yu Fan knew it had worked!

"Heh heh heh..."

"That stupid bird Gangzi still wants to raise a god?"

"He'll become a god just fine without you raising him!"

"And you still want to go to the Divine Realm?"

"You can stay down here and smell Luo Sanpao's farts!"

He wore a wicked grin.

Looking at Yu Fan's back,

Tang San couldn't help sighing.

"Yu Fan is a good person!"

It seemed he had been too prejudiced against Yu Fan before.

Yu Fan just acted without using his brain; that didn't mean he was actually an idiot.

Not far away, Tang Hao took in everything that had happened.

Together with the fluctuations from last night's slash, he could now be completely certain that Yu Fan was responsible.

It was just that...

He didn't know why Yu Fan understood so much theory.
