Yu Xiaogang's lips trembled:

"I tried."

"I fed Three-Eyed Demon the meat of an Earth Dragon Lizard..."

"Not only did it not evolve, it threw up..."

Yu Luomian: ...

He had seen useless people before, but this was the first time he had seen someone as useless as Yu Xiaogang.

He was genuinely curious now how the Yu Xiaogang from the other world had become a Titled Douluo.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who had collapsed on the ground, Yu Luomian's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

He had considered many possibilities for failure, such as needing time to digest.

But he never expected the answer to be that it threw up after eating meat!

"Threw... threw up?"

Yu Luomian pointed at the Three-Eyed Demon, which was whimpering and still farting at his feet.

He felt an absurd sense rush straight to the top of his skull.

"Are you a pig? Oh, no, your Martial Soul does resemble a pig..."

"The Heavenly Screen said supplementing dragon bloodline was effective, how could it have thrown up?"

Although Yu Luomian looked down on Yu Xiaogang, he wasn't an idiot.

If even Yu Xiaotian from that world could succeed, it meant this path was viable.

The only variable was the person.

Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged glances, seeing the awkwardness in each other's eyes.

Tang San was greatly shaken.

Was his teacher's theory truly perfect?

If the theory was invincible, why couldn't they even take the first step?

"Could it be..."

A terrifying thought flashed through Tang San's mind:

"Is it because, deep down, my teacher doesn't truly accept Three-Eyed Demon?"

[The Heavenly Screen's footage shifts]

[Yu Xiaogang in the White World also begins to take five-hundred-year Whale Rubber]

[After all, his physical strength is not as good as Yu Xiaotian's]

[Upon taking the first thousand-year Whale Rubber, Yu Xiaogang's Three-Eyed Demon also began to change]

[A faint golden hue started to appear on Yu Xiaogang's Three-Eyed Demon]

[Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed]

[He recalled how anxious he had been the first time he fed his Three-Eyed Demon sub-dragon meat]

[Because his Three-Eyed Demon was very resistant, while his elder brother's Three-Eyed Demon devoured it enthusiastically]

[Yu Xiaogang was so anxious he almost cried: Elder Brother! It won't eat! Am I truly hopeless?]

[Just then, a palm heavily slapped the back of White Xiaogang's head]

[Slap!]

[Yu Xiaotian's voice, filled with disappointment, came through]

[What do you think it is? An animal that only knows how to eat? Or proof of your uselessness?]

[Yu Xiaogang was stunned, clutching his head: It's my Martial Soul.]

[Yu Xiaotian let out a cold laugh, squatted down, and gently stroked Three-Eyed Demon's head]

[Faced with Yu Xiaotian, Three-Eyed Demon actually acted more affectionately than it did towards its master]

[Yu Xiaotian said: Look at it, Xiaogang! Look into its eyes]

[You despise it in your heart]

[You think it's a pig, you think it's a burden, you think it's because of it that you've endured the scorn of your family]

[A Martial Soul is an extension of a Soul Master's soul!]

[You despise yourself, how could Three-Eyed Demon evolve through eating?]

[It felt your disgust, and that's why it rejected it!]

[These words instantly awakened White Xiaogang]

[Yu Xiaotian said: Use your soul to tell it—You are a dragon, not a pig!]

[Don't think about feeding it! Think about symbiosis!]

[Yu Xiaogang, with tears in his eyes, suddenly hugged the dirty Three-Eyed Demon.]

[I'm sorry... Three-Eyed Demon... I'm sorry...]

[As the knot in his heart untangled,]

[a miracle happened.]

[Roar--!]

[The Three-Eyed Demon, which had been refusing to eat, suddenly opened its large mouth and swallowed the basin of dragon meat in one gulp!]

[Even though it was stuffed full and almost choked, it tried its best to swallow!]

White world.

"Is this the Sacred Dragon Douluo's first awakening?"

"So epic! You're a dragon, not a pig! That line was a killer!"

"So the point wasn't what it ate, but its mindset!"

"Lord Yu Xiaotian truly lives up to being the strongest; his understanding of Martial Souls is beyond this era!"

Yu Xiaogang in the white world watched this scene, his eyes slightly red.

He turned his head to look at the Three-Eyed Demon beside him.

It had now become a majestic Sacred Dragon.

"Yeah! If Big Brother hadn't scolded me awake back then, I might have looked down on Three-Eyed Demon my entire life."

He gently patted the dragon's head, and the Sacred Dragon affectionately nuzzled him.

This feeling of soul convergence was something no medicine could replace.

Black world.

Inside Shrek Academy, there was dead silence.

Yu Xiaogang's complexion at this moment could no longer be described as pale; it was ashen.

Every word on the sky screen was like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into his heart.

"You looked down on it in your heart."

"You thought it was a pig, you thought it was a burden."

"I looked down on it?"

Yu Xiaogang trembled as he looked at his Three-Eyed Demon.

The Three-Eyed Demon was currently cowering behind his feet.

Its eyes held a hint of fear and appeasement.

Yes.

He had looked down on it.

Even though he always said, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."

Deep down, he had hated this failed mutated product without end.

He had desperately researched theories just to escape the reality of his useless Martial Soul.

But he had never truly embraced the Three-Eyed Demon.

He had never considered it his proud other half.

"So... I was the one who was wrong all along..."

"It wasn't talent, it wasn't resources, it was me myself..."

Yu Xiaogang spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell backward.

This was not a physical injury; it was the shattering of his Dao heart.

Even the sharp-tongued Ning Rongrong was speechless with mockery at this moment.

Yu Xiaogang had truly played a good hand poorly!

Flender was even more stunned by this scene!

Tang San's reaction was the quickest.

Seeing his teacher spit blood, he quickly helped Yu Xiaogang up.

At this moment, Tang San's heart was also in turmoil.

The Master's theories, which he had always held as his guiding principle, had developed a huge crack at this moment.

His teacher had taught him how to identify Soul Beasts, how to match Soul Rings.

But he had never taught him.

How to love his own Martial Soul.

He had always harbored resentment towards his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

After all, it's a recognized abandoned martial spirit.

But the sky curtain today told him, if he himself didn't acknowledge his Martial Soul, how could it evolve!

"Accept it with your heart!"

Tang San muttered to himself.

He looked at the Blue Silver Grass in his palm, as if he had a new realization.

The Blue Silver Grass seemed to be responding to him as well.

The blue fluorescence became even brighter.

And the most shocked was Yu Luomian.

He looked at the majestic Three-Eyed Demon in the sky curtain.

Then he looked at the useless nephew on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

His mentality collapsed.

Completely collapsed.

Yu Luomian felt speechless.

"If I had known this method earlier, even if I had to break Yu Xiaogang's legs, I would have forced him to love that pig!"

Yu Luomian took a deep breath and looked at the unconscious Yu Xiaogang.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

He no longer cared about face or anything else.

He directly grabbed Yu Xiaogang's collar.

He lifted him up like a chick.

He turned to the Shrek crowd and said:

"I'm taking him away."

"Whether he's willing or not, this time even if I have to chain him up, I will lock him back into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family!"

"Practice according to the sky curtain! If you don't practice correctly, get beaten! Beat him until he develops feelings for that pig!"

Flender opened his mouth, wanting to stop him.

But seeing Yu Luomian's murderous gaze.

He sighed:

"Take him away, perhaps this is best for him."
