Grandmaster: Luo Sanpao Was Definitely a Pig-type Martial Soul!

The night passed quickly.

When the next day arrived, the higher-ups of every faction across the Douluo Continent had finished handling the day's affairs early in the morning.

Once they were done, most of them happily picked up their teacups and quietly waited for the Heavenly Screen to activate.

Soon, the time when the Heavenly Screen had begun playing yesterday arrived, and it finally stirred.

[The comparison between the two Douluos will now continue.]

[Subject of playback: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang of the Dark World.] (From this point onward, Grandmaster's name would be changed to Yu Xiaogang to distinguish him from the protagonist.)

As they watched the Heavenly Screen prepare to play footage of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, most people showed dissatisfied expressions.

"Why play that Grandmaster? Is he even worthy of appearing on the Heavenly Screen? They might as well directly show the life of that Dragon God Douluo."

"Exactly! What is there to see in a useless Level 29? We want to see exactly how that Dragon God Douluo defied fate and changed his destiny!"

"Just from what was shown yesterday, you could already see how enormous the gap between them was. And that gap will only keep growing wider."

"I really feel bad for the Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Having a son like that would be worse than giving birth to a slab of cured meat."

"All I can say is that the Thunder Douluo probably threw away the baby back then and raised the placenta instead."

"..."

Before the Heavenly Screen had even started playing, people everywhere began protesting.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Screen did not accept complaints. The scene shifted, and the footage appeared.

[Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power reached Level 10.]

[At fifteen years old, he was Level 10.]

[If Yu Xiaogang had been a commoner with no background whatsoever and only half a rank of innate Soul Power, reaching this level at fifteen would have been worth celebrating.]

[But Yu Xiaogang was not a commoner. He had also drawn upon the cultivation resources of his father, the Titled Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.]

[All that could be said was that Yu Xiaogang's talent was just that poor.]

[Having finally reached Level 10, it was time for him to obtain his first Spirit Ring.]

[According to Yu Yuanzhen's original plan, Yu Xiaogang's talent might have been poor, but his Martial Soul was highly unusual.]

[An External Beast Martial Soul. Its imposing presence during awakening proved that this Martial Soul, which Yu Xiaogang had named Luo Sanpao, was anything but ordinary.]

[Therefore, Yu Yuanzhen spared no expense in giving his cultivation resources to Yu Xiaogang, hoping to forcefully build him up and confirm all of this.]

[And in this process, obtaining a Spirit Ring was the most important step.]

[According to Yu Yuanzhen's plans, he intended to add a Dragon-type Soul Beast Spirit Ring to Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul.]

[After all, his own Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. No matter how much Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul had mutated, it could not possibly have nothing to do with dragons.]

[However, Yu Xiaogang had his own thoughts on the matter.]

["What did you say? You want a Spirit Ring from a Pig-type Soul Beast?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang in utter disbelief. He truly could not understand why Yu Xiaogang would have such an idea.]

["That's right, a Spirit Ring from a Pig-type Soul Beast."]

["You can tell from Luo Sanpao's appearance that it is clearly a Pig-type Martial Soul."]

["Adding a Spirit Ring from a Pig-type Soul Beast is what suits it best."]

[Yu Xiaogang said this while holding a thick illustrated guide.]

[During the years before reaching Level 10, Yu Xiaogang had constantly studied Martial Souls, Spirit Rings, and Soul Beasts.]

[Thus, he was now confident that his understanding of Martial Souls had surpassed that of many others.]

[At first, when he began researching Martial Souls and Spirit Rings, Yu Xiaogang had felt deeply dejected.]

[After all, his clan's inherited Martial Soul was a dragon, while his own Martial Soul was a Pig. The difference was so great that he could not accept it.]

[But as he researched Pig-type Soul Beasts, Yu Xiaogang gradually became excited.]

[Because he discovered that Pig-type Soul Beasts were not as weak as he had imagined.]

[In many Spirit Beast Forests, what kind of Soul Beast was usually the most feared?]

[Large Soul Beasts such as tigers, lions, and bears?]

[Or hunters lurking in the shadows, such as venomous snakes, scorpions, and spiders?]

[Or perhaps rare but exceptionally powerful creatures such as flood dragons and dragons?]

[None of them. In many Spirit Beast Forests, the most feared Soul Beasts were often Pig-type Soul Beasts!]

[Yu Xiaogang had read a report stating that during the annual soul-hunting expeditions in major Spirit Beast Forests, the greatest number of Soul Masters often died at the hands of Pig-type Soul Beasts.]

[When Yu Xiaogang saw this information, he was overjoyed.]

[Since Pig-type Soul Beasts were so formidable, did that not mean he, who possessed the Pig-type Martial Soul Luo Sanpao, had a promising future?]

[Thus, Yu Xiaogang thoroughly researched Pig-type Soul Beasts and selected one that he liked.]

["The Thunder Fang Pig. This is the first Spirit Ring I selected for myself."]

["It matches Luo Sanpao's species, and since your Martial Soul is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Father, I believe Luo Sanpao must possess the Thunder Attribute."]

["I also looked through the records of many Soul Masters who obtained Thunder Fang Pigs as their first Spirit Rings. The soul skills they gained were all quite good."]

["Their combat power in the early stages was extremely strong!"]

[Yu Xiaogang confidently told his father about the Soul Beast he had chosen and waited for him to praise him.]

[Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang waited for a long time but did not receive Yu Yuanzhen's praise.]

[Confused, he looked at Yu Yuanzhen and saw him staring at the information he had provided, his brows tightly furrowed.]

["Xiaogang, I still think it would be safer for your first Spirit Ring to come from a Dragon-type Soul Beast."]

["The difference between a Pig and a dragon is far too great. Are you really sure your Martial Soul is definitely a Pig?"]

[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao.]

[Looking at the Martial Soul that had caused him to be mocked for so many years, Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly.]

["Father, you have always believed Luo Sanpao is a dragon, but where does it have even the slightest dragon-like trait?"]

["On the other hand, it has traits similar to a Pig: its cry, those large ears, and its body shape."]

["With all those traits as proof, how can you still say it is a dragon?"]

[As Yu Xiaogang watched Luo Sanpao wander around on the ground, he could not help clenching his fists.]

[If he could, Yu Xiaogang also wanted Luo Sanpao to be a dragon. But all of its characteristics told him that Luo Sanpao was not a dragon. It was a Pig.]

["...Even so, couldn't a Pig-type Martial Soul still be given a Spirit Ring from a Dragon-type Soul Beast?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen still wanted to persuade Yu Xiaogang. Once again, he recalled the time when Yu Xiaogang underwent Martial Soul Awakening.]

[That roar—no matter how he thought about it, it did not sound like it could have come from a Pig.]

["Father, the Thunder Fang Pig is the Soul Beast I selected after years of thought and research."]

["I believe my choice cannot be wrong."]

[Yu Xiaogang looked directly at Yu Yuanzhen, with no intention of yielding in his eyes.]

[He had already made up his mind about his first Spirit Ring. No matter how others tried to persuade him, he would not change it.]
