Luo Sanpao Became Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul

Yu Gang groggily felt as though he had had a dream.

In that dream, he had taken in another disciple.

Not only had that disciple revived him,

but after becoming a god, he had promised to bring him to ascend to the God Realm.

But just as he was about to ascend, the dream ended.

A scrawny youth and a huge, fat worm appeared before him.

"It's you, you big fat worm."

Yu Gang recognized Sky Dream Ice Silkworm at a glance—the one who had stood by and watched him die—and his eyes instantly bulged with rage.

"Farts strike like thunder, shaking heaven and splitting earth—Luo Sanpao!"

With a furious roar, Yu Gang summoned Luo Sanpao.

"This is bad—it's a fart! Yuhao, cover your mouth and nose!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm hurriedly warned Huo Yuhao.

The last time Luo Sanpao had farted, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had not supplied Yu Gang with spiritual essence.

But now that he was continuously supplying it, this fart was bound to be earth-shattering.

Yet Yu Gang's lips suddenly curled upward. Luo Sanpao's body abruptly expanded, and he opened his enormous jaws to bite the two of them.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reacted swiftly. With a slippery twist, he floated aside and dodged.

But Yu Gang shouted, "Sanpao, bite that kid beside him!"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm instantly realized what he intended.

"Don't!"

Amid his cry of alarm, Luo Sanpao unhesitatingly swallowed Huo Yuhao in a single bite.

Yu Gang sneered. "Did you really think this Grandmaster would make the same mistake twice?"

"This Grandmaster said he would destroy you at any cost, just as he once said he would destroy Spirit Hall at any cost."

"Now that your helper has been eaten by Luo Sanpao, it's your turn."

He had already had Luo Sanpao fart earlier, but it had been a silent one. Having learned his lesson, Yu Gang chose to enlarge Luo Sanpao instead.

After all, in his previous life, he had cultivated beyond the realm of a Spirit Sage.

As long as he had enough power, it was still possible to enlarge Luo Sanpao like a Martial Soul Avatar.

(PS: Online rumors said San Shui stated in an interview that Yu Gang ultimately cultivated to rank ninety-three, but that was never mentioned in the main text. I didn't think it was possible either. By the end of the story, Yu Gang was already sixty when he cultivated to Spirit King. How the hell was he supposed to reach rank ninety-three? Spirit Sage was his absolute limit.)

But Yu Gang soon lost his smile.

Because he discovered that, at that moment, he had actually lost control of Luo Sanpao.

Then Huo Yuhao's agonized voice sounded from inside Luo Sanpao's belly. "Ah, it's so hot, so stinky... I really want to fart..."

"Th-this... what's going on?" Yu Gang's expression instantly turned terrified.

Watching Huo Yuhao, who had been swallowed whole by Luo Sanpao, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm spoke in a tone of near despair:

"Yuhao has Twin Martial Souls. His first Martial Soul is the spiritual-type Spirit Eye."

"His second Martial Soul is the ice Martial Soul I granted him after sacrificing myself to him, but it is still incomplete."

"The reason you can remain conscious now is because I have been continuously supplying you with spiritual essence."

"Naturally, your Farting Pig has also been tainted by my ice-element aura."

"Originally, I planned to find Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, and make her Yuhao's second Martial Soul."

"But now, this Farting Pig has devoured the spiritual body formed from Yuhao's consciousness. Drawn together by two auras sharing the same origin, they have already fused."

"This Farting Pig has naturally become Yuhao's Martial Soul."

At that moment, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was utterly despairing.

According to his original plan, Ice Empress, one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North,

was meant to become Huo Yuhao's second Martial Soul.

Yet through a bizarre twist of fate, he had ended up with a Farting Pig.

Could Huo Yuhao still become a god like this?

"Ah?" Yu Gang was completely dumbfounded.

This kid, like his disciple Tang San, also possessed Twin Martial Souls?

And his second Martial Soul had been intended to be Ice Empress of the Far North?

Though Yu Gang did not know who Ice Empress was, in his former understanding, the highest cultivation level a soul beast could possess was only one hundred thousand years.

But if she could be called one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, she was certainly an extraordinarily powerful existence.

And now she had fused with his Luo Sanpao. Didn't that mean he had ruined this youth's future?

Moreover, the reason he was still alive was that this big fat worm before him was supplying him with spiritual essence.

Yu Gang subconsciously looked around.

Only then did he discover dense golden threads connected above his head, linking him to one of the ten "golden suns" overhead.

Yu Gang's heart instantly sank.

It was over. Luo Sanpao was gone, and this big fat worm now held his life and death in its hands. If this continued, once the big fat worm became enraged and cut off his supply,

he would probably truly cease to exist.

No. This Grandmaster had to save himself.

Yu Gang was, after all, someone who had managed to fool God King Tang, Flender, Liu Erlong, and a whole host of others in the original story.

After a bout of intense brainstorming, he put on an inscrutable expression and murmured in a low voice:

"I truly didn't expect this little fellow to have such fortune."

"Fortune?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was practically laughing from anger.

"Grandmaster, I know you once trained Sea God Tang San, War God Dai Mubai, and seven other gods, but I honestly can't see what is so impressive about this Farting Pig of yours."

Yu Gang replied unhurriedly, "Sanpao may indeed be weak now, but it is absolutely not some Farting Pig. Its true form is the Golden Sacred Dragon."

"Golden Sacred Dragon?" The eyes of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, once filled with despair and regret, gradually brightened.

If it truly was a Golden Sacred Dragon, then perhaps becoming a god was not entirely impossible.

"That's right." Seeing that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had successfully been cowed by his Grandmaster aura,

Yu Gang's eyes gleamed with what he believed was wisdom.

"Since you know me, you must also know that I came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, one of the Upper Three Sects. My Martial Soul was a mutated form of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"Through my own cultivation, I forcibly raised Luo Sanpao, this useless Martial Soul, to the level of a Title Douluo. Only then did I learn"

"that my Martial Soul was the Golden Sacred Dragon."

"It is only a pity that I wasted too much time experimenting with various theories and fumbling forward alone. Otherwise, evolving into the Radiant Sacred Dragon would not have been impossible either."

Yu Gang was gambling—gambling that this big fat worm did not know his true circumstances.

After all, the world only knew that he was Sea God Tang San's teacher.

They knew he had trained a god. No, it should be seven gods now.

They knew he had trained seven gods, but knew little about his true circumstances.

Sure enough, after hearing Yu Gang's words, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was completely taken in.

"Then, Grandmaster, can you teach Yuhao how to become a Golden Sacred Dragon, or even a Radiant Sacred Dragon with the ultimate light attribute?"

Ultimate light attribute? What was that? Wasn't there only the light attribute...? Yu Gang was utterly confused inside, but outwardly remained unfazed.

He forcibly suppressed his urge to agree at once and continued pretending to be inscrutable.

"We'll discuss that later. First tell me, where is this, and why am I here?"
