25 Xiao Gang's First Soul Skill

Xiao Gang's First Soul Skill

Yu Yuanzhen captured the soul beast and examined it closely, only to discover that it was merely a two-hundred-year soul beast.

"Although I don't know how the Golden Sacred Dragon cultivates, are you sure you want to absorb this soul beast?" Yu Yuanzhen asked suspiciously.

Yu Xiaogang said solemnly, "The Golden Sacred Dragon is a soul beast formed from the Martial Soul Mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Its attribute should be compatible with lightning. The Thunder Skunk is a lightning-attributed soul beast. If I can absorb the Soul Ring it produces, its lightning attribute will surely activate the bloodline within my Three-Eyed Blazing Demon and grant me a powerful soul skill."

"Since you've made up your mind, kill this soul beast." Yu Yuanzhen said no more.

Yu Xiaogang killed the soul beast, and a bright yellow Soul Ring emerged from the skunk's body. He eagerly drew the Soul Ring over and absorbed it.

Although the absorption process was painful, it remained within Yu Xiaogang's tolerance. Before long, he had completed the absorption.

Excitement welled up within Yu Xiaogang. With Innate Soul Power like his, most people on the Douluo Continent could never become Soul Masters. Yet he had finally entered the realm of Soul Masters. Though he was still trash, there was a world of difference between a Soul Master and an ordinary person. Soul Masters were naturally superior to others, and Yu Xiaogang was confident that, with two hundred times the effort in cultivation, he would one day activate the Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline and break through to Soul Grandmaster, Soul Elder, Soul Ancestor, and even... Title Douluo!

"Enough congratulating yourself." Yu Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back. "Summon your Martial Soul and use your first soul skill on me. Let your father properly test its strength."

"Got it, Father." Having absorbed his first Soul Ring, Yu Xiaogang was still intoxicated by the experience and had not even had time to test his first soul skill. Hearing his father's words, he immediately rose to his feet and let out a majestic shout. "Three-Eyed Blazing Demon!"

With a puff, the purple little beast that looked like a pig-dog hybrid appeared before them. A bright yellow Soul Ring circled Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's body.

Yu Yuanzhen looked Three-Eyed Blazing Demon up and down, somewhat disappointed. He could not see any changes in it after it absorbed the Soul Ring.

"First soul skill—"

The Soul Ring flashed. Three-Eyed Blazing Demon put on a serious expression, then leaped into the air and floated until it was face-to-face with Yu Yuanzhen.

What was its first soul skill? A lightning-attributed offensive soul skill, or perhaps an agility-type soul skill? Yu Yuanzhen stared at Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's ugly yet adorable face and guessed.

Suddenly, Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's pig face scrunched up as though it were holding something in.

Yu Yuanzhen was baffled.

Suddenly, Three-Eyed Blazing Demon turned around and aimed its fat purple rear at Yu Yuanzhen.

What was it doing? Did it want to use some kind of lightning-infused charge, a high-speed ramming soul skill? Yu Yuanzhen guessed.

As if by instinct, Yu Xiaogang suddenly roared boldly, "A fart like thunder, shattering heaven and earth—Three-Eyed Blazing Demon!"

Pfft! Dense, viscous yellow gas visibly sprayed from Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's rear, blasting straight at Yu Yuanzhen's face.

The thick yellow fog struck Yu Yuanzhen in the face. The powerful impact blew off his jade hairpin, leaving his hair disheveled in the gust of fart wind. Yellow smoke spread in all directions, giving off a foul stench.

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head, his expression hidden from view.

Amid the pungent fart cloud, Yu Yuanzhen also lowered his head, his expression hidden from view.

The two fell into an eerie silence. At this moment, silence spoke louder than words!

When the smoke gradually dispersed, Yu Yuanzhen broke the silence between them. "Say... Xiao Gang, now that you've officially become a Soul Master, isn't that enough? Go back and learn some business skills. In the future, your father can entrust the sect's merchant guild and other enterprises to you."

Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked upon hearing this. He understood the implication behind his father's words—his father intended to give up on him. If even his father, the Sect Leader, gave up on him, then without the sect's triple cultivation resources and without his father's Power Transmission to aid his cultivation, his path as a Soul Master would end here.

To remain forever an eleventh-level, one-ring Soul Master for the rest of his life, watching Yu Xiaomen—the one he had once looked down on—cultivate step by step until he became a Title Douluo and reached the pinnacle of the continent, while Yu Xiaogang could only forever gaze up at his retreating back... that would be worse than killing Yu Xiaogang.

No, Father, you can't give up on me. You can't! I'm still counting on the sect's resources and your Power Transmission to help me cultivate, improve step by step, awaken my bloodline, become a Title Douluo, and surpass that bastard Yu Xiaomen.

Yu Xiaogang had a sudden idea and said, "Father, I don't want to give up halfway. Perhaps my first soul skill is not ideal, but I can feel that Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's bloodline has awakened slightly. I believe that as long as I keep cultivating and keep adding Soul Rings, one day my Three-Eyed Blazing Demon will advance into a Golden Sacred Dragon."

Of course, Yu Xiaogang was talking nonsense with a straight face. After absorbing the Thunder Skunk's Soul Ring, Three-Eyed Blazing Demon was still the same Three-Eyed Blazing Demon. It had absolutely nothing to do with the Golden Sacred Dragon.

"What did you say? Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's bloodline has awakened?" Yu Yuanzhen looked at Three-Eyed Blazing Demon in surprise, examining it from head to toe, yet he still could not make out anything unusual.

Yu Xiaogang continued fabricating. "Father, Three-Eyed Blazing Demon's bloodline has only awakened ever so slightly. Only I, the owner of this Martial Soul, can sense it. I believe that as long as I persevere, Three-Eyed Blazing Demon will eventually transform into a Sacred Dragon."

"Are you sure? I told you, this road will be very difficult." Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang with a scrutinizing gaze.

In Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, that stubborn Flat-top stood with his hands behind his back, chin raised proudly. "No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I, Yu Xiaogang, will continue cultivating. My talent is inferior to others', so I will make up for it with hard work. If onefold effort isn't enough, then I'll put in a hundredfold, two-hundredfold effort. But I firmly believe there are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."

"Hahaha!" Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and laughed heartily, sweeping away the gloom in his heart. He walked over to Yu Xiaogang, patted him on the back, and said, "Good, good, good! You have ambition, truly worthy of being my, Yu Yuanzhen's, son. Don't worry. Charge forward bravely. Wherever your father can help, I will give you all the support you need. But don't let me down either."

Yu Xiaogang said with a serious expression, "Don't worry, Father. I won't let you down."

Thus, after obtaining his first Soul Ring, the father and son returned to the sect. News that Yu Xiaogang had become a Soul Master did not diminish; instead, it spread even further. Why? Because his first soul skill was actually farting?

Faced with the humiliation of those around him, Yu Xiaogang could only endure it in silence. Every month, he consumed three times the resources allotted to a Core Disciple, along with his old father's Power Transmission to assist his cultivation—no, strike that—through two hundred times more effort than others, he steadily increased his strength. He believed that hard work would be rewarded. One day, he, Yu Xiaogang, would make those who looked down on him pay the price.
