The Boy Who Saw the Light

Damn Yu Xiaogang, just because you can't do it doesn't mean no one else can!

Why were you so stupid, carelessly adding soul rings to your martial soul, yet calling yourself unbeatable in theory!

You wrote it off completely, called yourself trash. You're the only trash one—you made me suffer so much!

How ridiculous. Because of you, everyone mocked me. They all thought I was trash too!

The moment they saw my martial soul, it was as though they had already seen the end of my life, their eyes full of mockery.

Whether it was Nightmare or Three Puffs, neither of them was a useless martial soul!

As Yu Chenglong controlled Little Dream to absorb the soul ring, unbearable memories surfaced in his mind.

"Useless Yu Xiaogang, I'll prove that Nightmare isn't a useless martial soul!"

Yu Chenglong's face twisted fiercely, his gaze frightening. He wanted to prove that he was right, to prove that Nightmare was not useless!

Very soon.

Yu Chenglong's Nightmare successfully absorbed the seven-hundred-year soul ring of the Demon Tumor Tree.

At that moment, Nightmare's light brown fur gained a faint sheen, its pale blue eyes became brighter, and its aura grew stronger.

As for Yu Chenglong himself, because his martial soul had successfully absorbed a soul ring from a soul beast like the Demon Tumor Tree—something both demonic and monstrous—his temperament changed somewhat.

Yu Chenglong was tall, but his entire frame was lean. His handsome, thin face had sharply defined features, making him seem cold and striking, giving others the impression of someone who had suffered countless hardships since childhood and was weathering the trials of life.

Yu Chenglong looked somewhat disheveled at the moment, but his pitch-black eyes shone brightly, filled with the desire to win. Coupled with the Demon Tumor Tree's soul ring, he now carried a faintly sinister air.

"Nightmare isn't useless!"

Yu Chenglong could not help clenching his fists.

Then, after glancing at Nightmare, Yu Chenglong's resolute, competitive gaze softened.

"Little Dream, you're not useless either!"

Yu Chenglong said gently.

Like Three Puffs, Nightmare was one of the few martial souls that could materialize physically and could be raised like a pet.

Nightmare blinked its large pale blue eyes, as though replying, I'm not a useless martial soul!

Then.

Yu Chenglong and Nightmare, man and beast, began releasing and familiarizing themselves with their newly acquired soul skills.

"Little Dream, let's see how these two soul skills work now."

Yu Chenglong gently stroked Nightmare's little head.

Nightmare nodded and rubbed its head against Yu Chenglong, not minding his bedraggled appearance in the slightest.

"First Soul Skill, Green Tumor Poison Mist, activate!"

As the First Soul Skill was released.

Every tiny, barely visible pore on Nightmare's body opened up, releasing streams of dark green mist.

As the green mist grew denser, it formed a small patch of poisonous green haze that enveloped Yu Chenglong and Nightmare.

This poisonous green haze was toxic and carried an irritating smell. Anyone who inhaled it would suffer diarrhea and vomiting, while their Soul Power would leak away!

However, as Nightmare's master, Yu Chenglong would not be affected by the Green Tumor Poison.

This First Soul Skill came from the one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Green Tumor Tree, and Yu Chenglong was already familiar with it.

"The First Soul Skill, Green Tumor Poison Mist, is still the same, but its toxicity has increased by eighty percent compared to before! Very good!"

Yu Chenglong muttered as he looked at the Green Tumor Poison Mist around him.

Next came the Second Soul Skill.

"Second Soul Skill, Demon Tumor Bomb, activate!"

When activating this Second Soul Skill, Nightmare opened its mouth wide and began gathering strength.

Though Nightmare bared its fangs, it still looked adorably simple and honest.

After a brief buildup, Nightmare spat out a dark green poisonous tumor bomb the size of a basketball. Thick poisonous mist covered its surface as it blasted forward.

Boom—

The tumor bomb blew a recently matured ancient tree into pieces, leaving behind a patch of dark green tumor mist.

It had been the size of a basketball when fired, but it had now spread into a tumor haze covering a quarter of a basketball court.

The Demon Tumor Tree's poisonous mist was denser and more toxic, blurring one's vision within the poison.

It could not only attack, but also interfere with the enemy.

"This Second Soul Skill is powerful. It upgrades upon the foundation of the First Soul Skill. It's a targeted skill that can throw out an area of poisonous mist!"

"The poison in the mist is also much more vicious than the First Soul Skill's. I wonder how effective it would be against a Soul Master."

Yu Chenglong thought to himself. He truly wanted to find a Soul Master to test the poison mist on.

"Little Dream, we've grown stronger!"

Yu Chenglong once again gently stroked Nightmare's adorable little head.

Wagging its tail, Nightmare eagerly responded to Yu Chenglong.

The poisonous mist of the Demon Tumor Tree had the same effect as that of the Green Tumor Tree, making anyone who inhaled it feel as though their stomach were churning violently, causing them to fart and have diarrhea.

It was simply that the Demon Tumor Tree's tumor mist was far more vicious.

Of course, that was only one of its effects.

Its other effect was causing Soul Power to leak away!

The most important thing for a Soul Master was Soul Power. Without enough Soul Power, they would be unable to use soul skills, and their combat strength would plummet.

Both of Yu Chenglong's soul skills could cause Soul Power to leak away.

If the opponent's cultivation was insufficient, they would keep farting and having diarrhea while their Soul Power leaked away, until their body became weak and exhausted.

It was an incredibly disgusting soul skill that could utterly ruin someone's mentality!

However.

"Ah—"

Yu Chenglong thought of something and immediately sighed.

The first soul skill Yu Chenglong had added to Nightmare came from a one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Green Tumor Tree.

He had obtained the First Soul Skill, Green Tumor Poison Mist, at the same time.

Yu Chenglong had carefully considered it at the time.

"Since you all say Three Puffs is a pig-dog that farts, and think my Nightmare is just a pig-dog that farts too, then I'll make all of you fart and have diarrhea!"

"I'll turn you into people who fart and have diarrhea, worse than pigs and dogs!"

Yu Chenglong had originally wanted to make others fart and have diarrhea while leaking Soul Power, greatly reducing their combat strength.

But the toxic effects of the Green Tumor Poison Mist had been disappointing.

Against Soul Masters of the same level, or even a few levels lower, this Green Tumor Poison Mist was simply garbage.

Forget causing their Soul Power to leak away—it could not even make them fart or have diarrhea.

Against those of a higher level than himself, it was even more useless.

At most, it let them smell the peculiar stench of the Green Tumor Poison Mist. That was all.

Only against Soul Masters several levels below him, with a vast gap in strength, could Nightmare's First Soul Skill cause any harm.

But what was the point of fighting Soul Masters weaker and lower-leveled than himself, of bullying those who came after him?

Those of our generation should strive for strength and challenge Douluo beyond our level!

Yu Chenglong's First Soul Skill had not fulfilled his wishes.

Yet now, Yu Chenglong's Second Soul Skill had, by a strange twist of fate, come from a Demon Tumor Tree, a species nobler than the Green Tumor Tree, and it had strengthened the First Soul Skill's effects.

The First Soul Skill, Green Tumor Poison Mist, had become eighty percent more effective, while the Second Soul Skill, Demon Tumor Bomb, was even more powerful than the First Soul Skill!

This allowed Yu Chenglong to see hope.

"I originally thought I had taken the wrong path. I never expected Heaven to grant me this Demon Tumor Tree today. Is it telling me to keep walking this path?"

Yu Chenglong's gaze was firm, as though light had appeared within it.

Beside him, Nightmare wagged its tail with all its might, as though it too had seen the light.
