Yu Xiaogang: To Release a Soul Skill for the First Time, One Must Naturally Choose a Solemn Occasion

"I choose this one!"

The Soul Hunting Squad members looked at one another in bewilderment at Yu Xiaogang's choice.

"Er, sir, given your physique, you can completely try for a four-hundred-year Spirit Ring. You're different from that Spirit Master who exploded and died earlier."

Seeing how generously Yu Xiaogang had paid, the Soul Hunting Squad's captain rarely offered him a couple words of advice.

Unfortunately, whenever Yu Xiaogang looked at that four-hundred-year Thunder Fang Pig, he recalled the scene of that commoner Spirit Master exploding and dying.

He couldn't die. If he died, how could he become a powerful expert in the future, prove himself, and slap the faces of those who mocked him?

Besides, the Thunder Fang Pig he had chosen was also nearly three hundred years old.

Who knew how many Spirit Masters' First Spirit Rings were less than a hundred years old? Yet in the end, they had still become powerful experts.

A three-hundred-year Spirit Ring wasn't bad!

Thus, Yu Xiaogang firmly pointed at the Thunder Fang Pig whose age was just shy of three hundred years. There wasn't the slightest hesitation in his voice.

"This one!"

White World, Spirit Hall.

"My heavens. To be this afraid of death? For someone like this, you might as well not become a Spirit Master at all. Staying home under his father's protection and living as a good-for-nothing who eats and drinks while waiting to die would be better."

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen with a face full of disdain, his voice brimming with contempt.

Among people like them who had managed to become Titled Douluos, which one hadn't tried to raise the age of their Spirit Rings as much as possible?

When searching for Soul Beasts, they always chose ones whose ages were close to their own limits, or even slightly beyond them.

This was the first time Golden Crocodile Douluo had seen someone like Yu Xiaogang, who could clearly absorb a four-hundred-year Spirit Ring but chose one under three hundred years because he was afraid of dying.

And someone like this still claimed he wanted to become a powerful expert?

If even someone like Yu Xiaogang could become a powerful expert, then what did that make all of them, who had cultivated so hard?

The other Elders nearby also wore expressions of agreement after hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words.

If he was so afraid of death, why bother cultivating?

Being an ordinary person would be much better. With Yu Yuanzhen's status, he could have let him live in comfort for his entire life.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing cautiously glanced at Yu Xiaogang. Only after seeing that he showed no signs of discomfort did they sigh in relief.

"Having an incarnation like this is truly humiliating for you, Xiao Gang."

"If you ask me, he should just die early. With his personality, who knows how many more embarrassing things he'll do in the future?"

Bibi Dong stared frostily at Yu Xiaogang on the Heavenly Screen.

If she could, she truly wanted to travel to the Parallel World and kill the Yu Xiaogang over there.

The thought of someone who embarrassed her husband living safely in the Parallel World made the killing intent in Bibi Dong's heart surge uncontrollably.

"Alright, alright. His embarrassment won't affect me. After all, my video will be shown afterward."

"Or could it be that you don't have confidence in me, Dong'er?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled as he pulled the frost-faced Bibi Dong into his arms and gently comforted her.

However, when he looked toward the scene on the Heavenly Screen, his eyes narrowed as well.

He had expected Grandmaster to embarrass himself, but he hadn't expected him to be this pathetic.

"It really wasn't a waste that, before I transmigrated, all the edited videos I saw were filled with mocking comments about him."

[The video continued...]

Under Yu Xiaogang's insistence, the Soul Hunting Squad members ultimately said nothing. They let Yu Xiaogang finish off that Thunder Fang Pig and absorb the nearly three-hundred-year Spirit Ring.

As Yu Xiaogang absorbed the Spirit Ring, the Soul Hunting Squad members nearby watched his figure, contempt flashing through their eyes.

"As expected of someone born into a major clan. He's really delicate."

"Hmph. There are extraordinary people born into major clans too. Someone as afraid of death as him? This is my first time seeing one."

"What a waste of that excellent body. If I'd had his physique back then, I definitely would've chosen a First Spirit Ring of at least four hundred years!"

"Ah, even if he's afraid of death and chose a lower-year Spirit Ring, it's still nearly three hundred years old. That's far better than what we have."

"All I can say is that Heaven is unfair, giving someone like this a starting point far beyond ours."

"..."

The Soul Hunting Squad members discussed it among themselves, their words mostly filled with disdain for Yu Xiaogang and anger at Heaven's unfairness.

Before long, Yu Xiaogang finished absorbing the Spirit Ring. He summoned Luo Sanpao and called forth his own Spirit Ring.

A yellow Spirit Ring appeared around his body. Looking at it, Yu Xiaogang's face filled with satisfaction.

"Excellent. The first step is complete. Next, I just need to keep cultivating and continue my research."

"With my intelligence and talent, I believe I'll definitely be able to walk a bright path!"

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, his eyes filled with ambition.

"Sir, now that you've obtained your First Spirit Ring, would you like to test your First Spirit Skill?"

The Soul Hunting Squad's captain stepped forward and asked with a curious expression.

This was the first time he had seen Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul, so he was surprised that this thing was actually a Martial Soul. Then curiosity took over. What kind of Spirit Skill could a Martial Soul like this possess?

"Test my First Spirit Skill?"

The Soul Hunting Squad captain's words stirred Yu Xiaogang's heart. He would only be able to understand a Spirit Skill's effects after using it himself.

At present, Yu Xiaogang was also quite curious about what his First Spirit Skill was.

However, after glancing around—especially at the faintly disdainful looks in the eyes of the Soul Hunting Squad members—Yu Xiaogang immediately lost the desire to use his First Spirit Skill.

"No need. I'll study it slowly after I return."

Yu Xiaogang refused the Soul Hunting Squad captain and gave everyone an arrogant look in return.

"This is my Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Skill. For its first release, of course I have to find a sufficiently grand occasion."

"When the time comes, I must call Father over. He's always thought that Luo Sanpao was a dragon-type Martial Soul."

"Hmph. This time, I'll prove that my Yu Xiaogang's idea is the correct one. My theory is the true path that can allow Luo Sanpao to grow stronger."

Yu Xiaogang snorted inwardly.

He had already decided to use his First Spirit Skill in front of his father and give him a tremendous shock.

He would use the facts to tell him that his research on Luo Sanpao was correct!

That he possessed an extraordinary talent on the path of Martial Soul research!

Yu Xiaogang had even imagined the look on his father's face when he displayed his First Spirit Skill before him—the shock, followed by excitement that would flush his face bright red.

When that happened, his father would definitely share his news with everyone in the clan.

Then, everyone would understand that he was no longer a good-for-nothing, but a future Grandmaster of Martial Soul research.

Those who had once mocked him would definitely regret offending him.

At the thought of that scene about to unfold, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but feel his heart surge with excitement.

"I really can't wait to see what expressions everyone will have when the time comes."
