Background / History

Yu Xiaogang was born into a major sect and was originally known for his theories despite possessing a malignantly mutated, widely derided Martial Soul. He spent three years as a librarian at the Martial Soul Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy, organizing cultivation knowledge and publishing the Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of Martial Souls. The work earned recognition among common and rogue Soul Masters, while major powers dismissed him as a joke. His relationship with Bibi Dong was forcibly ended by her master, and his planned marriage to Liu Erlong collapsed when their familial connection was revealed. 2

After fleeing for three days, the exhausted original Yu Xiaogang encountered the transmigrating soul of modern college student Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang absorbed the weakened soul, inherited Yu Xiaogang's memories and Luo Sanpao, and continued living under the name Yu Xiaogang. He resolved to use modern knowledge, his familiarity with stories and technology, and a newly manifested Phone Martial Soul to overturn his former reputation. 2

He joined Notting City Junior Soul Master Academy as an instructor, where he tested cultivation methods, established an Elite Class that included commoner students, and began taking disciples. His work expanded from martial-soul theory into Soul Tools, artificial Soul Rings, medicinal cultivation, communications, transportation, and the Blue Silver Grass Network. 12 39 54 58

Yu Xiaogang founded the Dragon Gate Sect around Notting City and developed its Ice Fire Yin Yang Well into a core cultivation resource. He later recruited Dugu Bo and the Four Single Attribute Clans, turning Dragon Gate into a leading power while building Notting City, Dragon Gate, and Shrek Academy into an interconnected base of influence. 86 130 174 266

After uncovering evidence that the Douluo Gods had altered humanity and Soul Beasts, he chose to accumulate strength, unify the continent through his disciples, and eventually challenge the God Realm. He later discovered parallel worlds and intervened in the Peerless Tang Sect era, where he brought Huo Yuhao under his protection and sent Tang San forward in time for training. 138 313 367

Appearance

Following his False Core breakthrough, Yu Xiaogang's appearance changed so drastically that even Bibi Dong initially struggled to recognize him by sight. His aura remained identifiable, but his former appearance was largely replaced by an immortal-like visage. 268

• Long golden hair, acquired after awakening his second Martial Soul. 268
• Handsome, elegant appearance described as spotless and otherworldly. 268
• An intangible current of energy seems to move his hair and sleeves after his cultivation breakthrough. 268
• Can float cross-legged in midair without visible external support. 272

Personality

Yu Xiaogang is intensely curious, pragmatic, and ambitious. He treats the Douluo Continent's existing conventions as problems to be tested rather than rules to be accepted, repeatedly combining cultivation, Soul Tools, artificial Soul Rings, medicine, and modern ideas into new systems. His long-term goal is not merely personal power: he wants to overturn the noble Soul Master order, modernize civilization, and prepare humanity to resist the God Realm. 2 54 138

As a teacher, he is attentive to individual potential and adapts instruction to each student. He supports commoners such as Su Yuntao, personally provides disciples with cultivation resources and Soul Tools, and corrects their work rather than accepting superficial success. 25 61 211 273

He can also be calculating. He monitors Tang San's development through Yun Lan, treats disciples’ growth as part of his greater plans, and intends to use Tang San and Huo Yuhao against the God Realm's influence. 163 182 313 368
