Aside from Yu Xiaogang himself, anyone who knew his circumstances—such as his father, Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—could not help but reveal an incredulous expression upon seeing this comparison.
The impact of this title was simply too great.
Someone they all knew as trash had actually become a Titled Douluo in another world. The difference between the two was no less than that between heaven and earth.
Thus, even before the Heavenly Screen began playing, everyone was already looking forward to seeing exactly how Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang had defied fate and changed his destiny.
Soon, the footage began to play.
[Now playing: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang:] [An estate within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.] ["Waaah!"] [Accompanied by a cry, a newborn infant arrived in Douluo Continent. His father, Yu Yuanzhen, named him Yu Xiaogang with great excitement.] [As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, and also the son of the clan's only Titled Douluo, Yu Xiaogang had been showered with the expectations of everyone in the clan from the moment he was born.] [The elders treated Yu Xiaogang with kindness, the clan's powerhouses showed him respect, and the younger generation constantly sought to please him. It could be said that at that time, Yu Xiaogang was the absolute center of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
Looking at the elders in the footage treating him kindly, the clan powerhouses showing him respect, and the younger generation currying favor with him, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly. Blood veins kept surfacing in his eyes.
What could possibly mock him more deeply than such a scene?
After all, everyone across Douluo Continent now knew what the youth beloved by the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the footage would become in the future.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang trembling all over, Tang San cast a frigid glance at the Heavenly Screen.
"Although I do not know which mighty expert is behind this, you have already chosen the Way of Seeking Death!"
[Yu Xiaogang, adored and fawned over by everyone, naturally developed an arrogant, haughty disposition.] [He took the elders' kindness for granted, and even though he had yet to undergo Martial Soul Awakening, he accepted the respectful attitude of the clan's powerhouses without the slightest courtesy.] [As for the younger members of the clan trying to please him, he directly showed them disdain.] [In his eyes, as the son of a Titled Douluo, he would inevitably become one of the clan's top powerhouses in the future and make a name for himself throughout Douluo Continent. Anyone worthy of befriending someone like him had to be a genius.] [Therefore, he would not even spare a proper glance for anyone trying to please him whose Innate Soul Power was below level seven.]
The moment they saw Yu Xiaogang's attitude toward those trying to curry favor with him, all of Douluo Continent erupted.
"Damn, if anyone below level seven Innate Soul Power does not even deserve a proper glance from him, then do people like us with level two or three Innate Soul Power not even deserve to appear before him?"
"He is the son of a Titled Douluo, after all. If you had a father like that, you would probably be even more arrogant than him."
"Pah! What the hell is he so proud of? I know this guy. He is trash who could not break through level twenty-nine to reach level thirty. Where did he get the nerve?"
"Could not break through level thirty? How is that possible? His father is a Titled Douluo!"
"What does that have to do with anything? Martial Soul Awakening does not care whether you are the son of a Titled Douluo."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Interesting. He is so arrogant now. Once he undergoes Martial Soul Awakening, will those people he looked down on not mock him to death?"
"..."
[Yu Xiaogang's attitude toward the clan members did not go unnoticed. Although some people were dissatisfied with him, because of Yu Yuanzhen, they ultimately said nothing.] [When he reached the age to learn how to read and write, Yu Xiaogang began studying knowledge related to Soul Masters under the arrangements of his father, Yu Yuanzhen.] [Yu Xiaogang was extremely interested in this knowledge, especially matters concerning Martial Souls and Spirit Rings, which often prompted him to think deeply.] ["Why does the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul of our clan need this particular Spirit Ring configuration? Would it be better if we used Spirit Rings from other Soul Beasts?"] [Yu Xiaogang's question left Yu Yuanzhen both amused and helpless. The Spirit Ring configuration for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was the optimal combination established only after countless years of accumulation and the efforts of countless clan members.] [It was precisely by relying on this Spirit Ring configuration that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could steadily produce powerhouses. That was the advantage of a family clan.] [As for those unaffiliated wandering Soul Masters, if they lacked guidance from professionals when obtaining Spirit Rings, it was entirely a matter of luck. They had no idea what Soul Skills they would obtain, either.] [Many Soul Masters with fairly decent talent ultimately failed to achieve anything remarkable for precisely this reason.] [Seeing the puzzled expression on his son's face, Yu Yuanzhen merely smiled and brushed him off, without giving him a detailed explanation.] [In his eyes, Yu Xiaogang was his son, and he would personally keep watch over his path. He would not let Yu Xiaogang, like those wandering Soul Masters, choose the wrong Spirit Ring and thereby delay his path to becoming stronger.]
"Do you understand now, Xiao San? This is why I told you to listen more to your teacher when obtaining Spirit Rings."
"Only someone with abundant experience can arrange your future path for you and prevent you from going astray."
"Never underestimate the acquisition of Spirit Rings. Spirit Rings concern your future and your entire life, so there cannot be the slightest mistake in this regard."
Looking at his father's smile on the Heavenly Screen, Yu Xiaogang forcibly suppressed the hatred in his heart, then turned to instruct Tang San.
Meanwhile, within the Pope's Palace of Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at the still-young Yu Xiaogang in the Heavenly Screen, and her expression had already become somewhat entranced.
"So you had already begun researching Martial Souls from such a young age."
"Unfortunately, everyone in Douluo Continent is nothing but a bunch of blind fools."
Bibi Dong recalled Yu Xiaogang studying in the Library after arriving at Spirit Hall back then, and she could not help but feel a deep longing for him in her heart.
Inside the room of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, Yu Yuanzhen looked at the young Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen, and helplessness flashed through his heart as well.
He had planned out Yu Xiaogang's path, but unfortunately, because of Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul, everything had come to nothing.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Yuanzhen became even more curious about what circumstances had allowed Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang, who was being compared to his son, to exist.
"The Douluo Continent is exactly the same, yet one person's choice caused such enormous changes."
"So what kind of choice allowed Xiao Gang to become a Titled Douluo?"
Yu Yuanzhen was curious.
Of course, his thoughts were actually similar to Tang San's earlier. He believed that perhaps some influence from himself or his wife had allowed Yu Xiaogang to awaken higher-grade Innate Soul Power, which was why everything had changed so drastically.
If Yu Xiaogang's Innate Soul Power had not changed, Yu Yuanzhen did not dare imagine what heaven-defying choice could possibly have turned his son into a Titled Douluo.
The footage continued.
[Soon, time came to the year Yu Xiaogang turned six. He was about to undergo Martial Soul Awakening...]
