Yu Xiaogang Can Fly

Early morning.

Qian Xunji brought Yue Guan and Gui Mei before Lu Jin.

"Senior, we've sent people to take over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as you arranged. Do you have any further instructions?"

"Not for now." Lu Jin thought for a moment. "Oh, right. You can start recruiting some master carvers. The owner of those statues should arrive in a few days."

From beginning to end, the materials for those statues had all been prepared for Bo Saixi.

The divine position Lu Jin wanted to create for Bo Saixi was a simple one: River God.

Bo Saixi's own Martial Soul was naturally suited to water, so she could not have been better suited to becoming the River God.

As for how powerful the divine positions would be, Lu Jin was not concerned for the time being. As long as he was around, they would be absolutely stable once created.

"As you command, Senior!" Qian Xunji gave Yue Guan and Gui Mei a meaningful look. Only after the two had left to carry out their tasks did he continue, "Senior, Ling Yuan and I have set a wedding date. Might you honor us with your presence at the engagement banquet?"

"Sure. It's being held at Spirit Hall anyway, so I'll come by when the time comes." Lu Jin thought for a moment. "Since there's nothing else to do today, let's continue the story."

Qian Xunji immediately gave him his full attention.

Lu Jin picked up where he had left off. "Last time, I said that Tang San would meet Xiao Wu in the future. After becoming a Soul Master, the first thing he had to do was something every Soul Master must go through: hunt for a Soul Ring."

"The person who guided Tang San in obtaining his Soul Ring was Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. Now, Yu Xiaogang is an interesting case. Last time, I mentioned that the first Soul Skill attached to the Soul Ring Yu Xiaogang picked out for Tang San was Entanglement. But before that, something even more ridiculous happened."

"Right from the start, Yu Xiaogang decided that Tang San's Blue Silver Grass could only follow the control path, overlooking its own formidable vitality. Spirit Hall really ought to thank Yu Xiaogang."

Qian Xunji asked in confusion, "Thank him? Why?"

Lu Jin stifled a laugh. "If it weren't for Yu Xiaogang's misguided instruction, Tang San might have become a god at twenty."

Qian Xunji's composure cracked a little. "Put it that way, and we really do seem to owe him thanks."

Lu Jin suppressed his smile. "In any case, you already analyzed this last time. The support path was best suited to Tang San's Blue Silver Grass. He had the Clear Sky Hammer for powerful assaults. If he also had a Martial Soul focused on recovery, his upper limit would be raised considerably."

Hearing Lu Jin acknowledge him, Qian Xunji could not help straightening his back.

Lu Jin continued, "And when Yu Xiaogang was picking out a Soul Ring for Tang San, his first choice was a ten-year-old Lone Bamboo. In his view, Blue Silver Grass was very fragile and needed greater toughness."

Ah Yin, who stood nearby, could not hold back. "Bullshit! Blue Silver Grass is among the toughest of all Plant-type Soul Beasts. How could it possibly lack toughness?"

Lu Jin shrugged. "Luckily, Tang San had the protagonist halo and didn't choose the Lone Bamboo. Otherwise, just imagining his first Soul Skill being Blue Silver Pole Vault is enough to make someone die laughing."

Qian Xunji had to bring up the sore subject, sighing, "How did Dong'er ever fall for such trash?!"

"Heh... so that's your reason for being the Secret Chamber Douluo?"

"I'm your teacher!"

"I sleep in the same room as Senior!"

Qian Xunji's face twitched. He understood now: Bibi Dong really did have a rebellious streak.

Lu Jin coughed, interrupting the exchange between teacher and disciple. "Later, Tang San encountered a hundred-year Mandala Snake. That Mandala Snake became his first Soul Ring, and it was lucky that it was a Mandala Snake. If another Soul Beast had given him the Entanglement skill, I wouldn't dare imagine how weak it would have been."

Qian Xunji asked, "Senior, Tang San was only level ten, and Yu Xiaogang was nothing but level twenty-nine trash. How could they have been a match for that four-hundred-year Mandala Snake?"

Lu Jin said, "You're right. Yu Xiaogang, as his teacher, only had a negative effect throughout the whole process. His Luo Sanpao could only fart; trying to confuse the Mandala Snake with the sound of its farts was pure wishful thinking. And sure enough, he was poisoned by the Mandala Snake."

Bibi Dong exclaimed, "Senior, do you mean Tang San killed the Mandala Snake on his own?"

Lu Jin nodded. "Yes. Tang San combined Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Purple Demon Eye, and Mysterious Jade Hand, then added a sneak attack with a Hidden Weapon and killed the Mandala Snake outright."

"Six years old, and he killed a four-hundred-year Mandala Snake on his own?"

Everyone drew a sharp breath. Tang San truly was the chosen one.

Lu Jin continued, "As a Tang Sect disciple, Tang San was already an expert in poisons. He cured Yu Xiaogang's poisoning; otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would have met his end right there."

After hearing this, Ah Yin exclaimed, "The Tang Sect's cultivation techniques really are terrifying!"

"Actually, the Tang Sect was only a third-rate force in Tang San's world." Lu Jin smiled. "Ah Yin, the Great Compassion Rhapsody you and Yuehua cultivate is more than a level above the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record."

A cultivation technique even stronger than the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record?

Qian Xunji was tempted, but he did not dare ask for it, so he could only look at Bibi Dong in inquiry.

In response, Bibi Dong shrugged, showing her white front teeth. "Hee-hee~"

Hee-hee, my... Qian Xunji felt a headache coming on. Fortunately, Bibi Dong now followed Senior around every day. If she were still following him as she used to, he figured his life would be shortened by several years.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Luomian had already set out. Just thinking of his eldest nephew made him angry.

How could a perfectly normal person writhe around while hugging a dog?

He had utterly disgraced the Yu family!

The more Yu Luomian thought about it, the angrier he became. "That bastard! When I find him, I'll break that brat's legs!"

One of his subordinates asked, "Vice clan leader, where should we look for the young master?"

Yu Luomian's head ached. The Douluo Continent was so vast; how was he supposed to know where to look?

But since he had finally had a chance to get away, he remembered that he had an illegitimate daughter living outside the clan.

Yu Luomian thought of Liu Erlong. He felt deeply guilty about this illegitimate daughter of his.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan valued its reputation, and Liu Erlong's mother was of far too low a status. If he brought Liu Erlong into the clan, she would face rejection from the entire clan.

"Search near the place where the young master disappeared. I have something to do; I'll come find you when I'm finished."

"As you command!"

Yu Luomian left the group and headed straight for Liu Erlong's home.

It's been so many years. I wonder how Erlong is doing. She must hate me, her father, to the core.

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang sought out Liu Erlong.

Liu Erlong frowned at the crew-cut man before her.

At first glance, a favorable impression of him inexplicably welled up in her heart. But it did not last long, as though a hand had smacked her head and brought her to her senses.

She looked at Yu Xiaogang again.

Ew, this guy is so ugly!

Only out of politeness did Liu Erlong refrain from throwing him out at once. "You said you came specifically to find me? Do we know each other?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled. "We didn't know each other before, but we will from now on. You, Flender, and I can use a Martial Soul fusion skill to summon the Golden Sacred Dragon!"

A three-person Martial Soul fusion skill? Is there something wrong with this guy's head?

And I don't even know you. Why should I use a Martial Soul fusion skill with you?

The first requirement for a Martial Soul fusion skill was for their hearts and minds to be in harmony.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, she found him hideously ugly, let alone felt any harmony of heart and mind.

Liu Erlong stood up to see him out. "I don't want to use any Martial Soul fusion skill with you. Please leave my home at once."

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded. This was wrong. The plot was not supposed to go this way.

Weren't you supposed to throw your arms around me, then we'd kiss, and then roll into bed together?!

Yu Xiaogang stood up, his loving gaze enough to make even a dog recoil. "Erlong, I know you love me. I'm not afraid of how the world sees us. I love-"

Bang~

A dark figure went flying out of Liu Erlong's house.

Yu Xiaogang could fly. This had been mentioned before.

"How disgusting. Where did that fucking idiot come from?" Liu Erlong's voice grated on Yu Xiaogang's nerves.
