Confessing His Second Martial Soul
Liu Erlong had her head down, but Yu Xiaogang qi and blood were just beginning to mature, immediately noticed that Liu Erlong's neck had turned pink. However, seeing Liu Erlong's tightly clenched, white fists, Yu Xiaogang still didn't dare to tease Flender or Liu Erlong.
But Flender and Liu Erlong making such a quick move? It seems Liu Erlong has moved on from that painful time. Yu Xiaogang leaned close to Flender's ear and whispered his demands:
"Boss Flender, you have to treat us to dinner when we get back! A private room at Seven Treasure Tavern, see you there!"
The best way to deal with a miser is to make him treat you to a meal. Flender's face twitched as he released Yu Xiaogang, patted his shoulder, and said through gritted teeth, "Sure! Go back and give your disciple a welcome-back dinner! After all, absorbing the First Soul Ring beyond his age limit deserves a proper celebration! By the way, what powerful enemy did you encounter? You look so disheveled, and you still smell of blood! Are you alright?"
After speaking, Flender patted Yu Xiaogang's body, checking for any injuries. Yu Xiaogang slapped Flender's hands away and said helplessly, "Alright, Boss Flender, I'm fine now. I just encountered the Spirit Hall Pope Qian Xunji with two Titled Douluo hunting Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for their Spirit Bone. But I also benefited; I'm now level 49 and will soon break through to the Soul King realm."
Flender's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise, raising his voice, "What! Three Titled Douluo? Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Xiaogang, you've leveled up to 49 and are about to break through to Soul King? Am I dreaming? Didn't you say you were only level 38 when we were eating yesterday?"
Yu Xiaogang sighed with a touch of melancholy, and explained to the bewildered Flender and Liu Erlong, who looked up in shock upon hearing about his leapfrog advancement in cultivation:
"She was a great mother, and I owe her a huge favor. Bibi Dong and I had already helped my disciple hunt for a soul, but then we ran into Qian Xunji, who was leading two Titled Douluo to hunt down a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and take its bones."
Liu Erlong asked Yu Xiaogang with great concern, "Xiaogang, how did you get rid of Qian Xunji? After all, three Titled Douluo are too dangerous! Xiaogang, are you alright?"
Bibi Dong stepped forward and blocked Liu Erlong's view, saying
"Thank you for your concern, Second Dragon Sister Xiaogang I are staying here safely now, aren't we? But that Ah Rou is really decisive. In order to give us the ability to fight back and retreat, she directly sacrificed herself to Xiaogang."
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrifice? I've only ever seen that in ancient books, and I thought it was just a legend. I never imagined you'd actually encounter it, Xiaogang. But what exactly happened? We can feel such intense Soul Power fluctuations even here, and there was just a loud bang and a huge gust of wind!"
Flender was now itching to know how Yu Xiaogang had escaped. Yu Xiaogang, in turn, wanted to use this opportunity to teach his apprentice a lesson—there are always people more capable than you!
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong nodded, after all, Flender and the others would find out in the future, so this was to let Flender and the others know the true face of the Spirit Hall 'Qian Family.
After receiving Bibi Dong's permission Yu Xiaogang looked at the group of people who were eager to learn, and casually asked Yun Lan to check if there were any outsiders around. Once he confirmed there were no outsiders, he said to Flender and the others:
"Language is too one-sided. I will extract the memories through my Second Martial Soul and project them for you to see! In the future, when you encounter people from the Spirit Hall, be careful. The Spirit Hall has changed and deviated from its original purpose."
Flender reached out and interrupted Yu Xiaogang, who looked confused and bewildered, asking:
"Wait! Xiaogang, didn't you only have Luo Sanpao as your Martial Soul? How come you have another Martial Soul? You didn't show it when we traveled the continent together before! Can Martial Soul be awakened later in life?"
Yu Xiaogang actually wanted to use this opportunity to reveal his true colors, since everyone involved was from his own team and close associates. Then, when Flender asked a question he already knew the answer to, he replied knowingly, "No? I have Twin Martial Souls!"
Flender wasn't about to tolerate this. He stepped forward, hooked his arm around Yu Xiaogang's shoulder, and said through gritted teeth:
"Xiaogang, when did you say that! Tell the truth! What happened!"
After a great commotion and tug-of-war, Yu Xiaogang, seeing Bibi Dong's bright, sparkling eyes, coughed lightly and explained:
"Actually, Martial Soul is the embodiment of a person's soul and bloodline. In my research, it is the most amazing aspect of the Soul Master cultivation system. It allows one to come into contact with the laws from the First Soul Ring. However, it seems that no one on the Douluo Continent has studied it in depth."
Most Soul Master only know how to use it but not the underlying principles. My Second Martial Soul can be considered an accidental creation, a man-made Martial Soul.
Yu Xiaogang finished reading the introduction and began summoning his Martial Soul, four Spirit Ring flashing beneath his feet. The fourth, Blood-Red Soul Ring, in particular, shone brightly, prompting Liu Erlong to exclaim in amazement:
"It really is Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Xiaogang, is your physical strength that abnormal? Soul Ancestor can actually withstand Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? How did you cultivate?"
Yu Xiaogang didn't reply, but silently instructed Deep Blue and Luo Sanpao in his mind, "Come on! Come out and meet them! Luo Sanpao and Deep Blue!"
Behind Yu Xiaogang, a flash of Soul Power appeared, accompanied by a dragon's roar and the sound of silver bells. Bibi Dong then saw Yu Xiaogang 'Yu Xiaogang Martial Soul: a cute, doll-sized little girl riding a Golden Divine Dragon appeared beside him.
Deep Blue spread its transparent wings and danced around Yu Xiaogang and the others, scattering starlight and leaving beautiful light and shadow. It landed on Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and greeted Bibi Dong and the others, saying, "Hello everyone! I am Deep Blue, my master's Second Martial Soul, an intelligent spirit. I represent my master's wisdom and am the head butler! I manage many of my master's affairs!"
Flender and the others felt the suppression from their Martial Soul bloodlines, especially Liu Erlong, whose Fire Dragon Martial Soul. She was even more sensitive to the suppression from the Light Holy Dragon bloodline. Xiaogang's Martial Soul was definitely a top-tier dragon-type Martial Soul. Liu Erlong sighed inwardly at Yu Xiaogang Gang's good fortune.
Even after his Martial Soul Second Awakening and evolution, Luo Sanpao still affectionately nuzzled against Bibi Dong, just like before. His two dragon eyes sparkled as he gazed at Bibi Dong, waiting to be fed. Back when he was with his master in the Spirit Hall, it was Bibi Dong who often fed him delicious food.
Bibi Dong, looking on in amazement, patted Luo Sanpao's big head and, as before, took out some snacks from her Storage Soul Tool to feed Luo Sanpao. While feeding Luo Sanpao, Bibi Dong began to reminisce about the happy times of the past.
Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang with a strange expression, circled around him, and even reached out his finger to poke Deep Blue's little cheek, only to be hit hard by Deep Blue's little hand with her Soul Power.
"Hiss! Xiaogang! Your Martial Soul has quite a temper! But Xiaogang, your Martial Soul is really unique. It's a physical Martial Soul, and your Second Martial Soul represents wisdom. So, are all those amazing Soul Tool you have made possible by this little guy?"
Deep Blue huffed angrily, turned his head away, and ignored Flender. Yu Xiaogang, trying to suppress a laugh, said to Flender, "I'm being cheeky."
"Alright, Boss Flender, who told you to act recklessly? Don't blame me if you suffer a loss. Deep Blue is my trusted assistant. I rely on Deep Blue for a lot of things, including Soul Tool and my new cultivation path. When we get back, Flender, you guys can also specialize in cultivation with me! And now I can Self-Condensed Soul Ring! If it weren't for this incident, I would have confessed everything to you when we got back."
Flender's eyes widened instantly, his glasses nearly falling off his nose, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What? Xiaogang, did I hear that right?! Self-Condensed Soul Ring! How is that possible! Xiaogang, you're not kidding me!"
