Gangzi: You've Got a Craving for Farts?

"Huabin, go eat first. I'll have a chat with your junior fellow disciple..."

Now that Yu Xiaogang was about to start taming his new disciple, he naturally didn't have much time to deal with Dai Huabin.

Dai Huabin was deeply frustrated. After hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, he turned and left without hesitation.

He simply couldn't swallow this insult. He'd already decided to go to his mother later and have her teach Huo Yuhao, that mongrel, a good lesson.

A servant ought to know his place. How dare he bite the hand that fed him?

He deserved to die!!!

Dai Huabin had only taken a few steps when a voice suddenly reached his ear:

"Huabin, I know you're unhappy. I took Huo Yuhao as my disciple to find you an opponent and help temper your temperament. After all, you're my most beloved disciple."

"Never tell anyone what I've said to you..."

At those words, Dai Huabin stopped in his tracks. He turned around and stared at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.

Yu Xiaogang merely smiled and paid him no mind. He crouched in front of Dai Yuhao and murmured something in an exceedingly faint voice.

Dai Huabin felt conflicted. He had once heard his mother talk about this.

The technique was called Sound Transmission. Only those with profound Soul Power could use it.

Dai Huabin immediately understood. No wonder his teacher had taken that mongrel as a disciple. It had all been for his sake!

Thinking this, he immediately gave Yu Xiaogang a knowing look.

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had no intention of responding, Dai Huabin left, his mood much lighter.

At last, he was in the mood to go eat.

After Dai Huabin left, Yu Xiaogang looked at the child before him, whose name was "Huo Yuhao." His voice was faint, but there was a hint of amusement in it that was difficult to detect:

"Yuhao, do you know why I took you as my disciple?"

Dai Yuhao's frightened gaze held a trace of confusion. He was indeed curious about the answer, but in the end, he said nothing.

Yu Xiaogang sighed softly, placed a hand on his shoulder, and gave it a pat. In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said, "Because my purpose in coming to the Star Luo Empire was you!"

"To be honest, I'm actually a god from the Divine Realm, reincarnated with my memories intact. It was heaven's will that made you my disciple..."

Dai Zhongxian: Don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm little.

Dai Yuhao certainly didn't believe him. If he really believed something like that, he might as well have lived his life for nothing.

Even so, he considered his words before asking, "Then let me ask you: who founded the Tang Sect? What god did he eventually become? And what sort of person was he?"

The reason Dai Yuhao asked was that he feared angering Yu Xiaogang again.

He hadn't done anything to offend the man back in Star Luo City, yet he'd still been treated this way. What would happen if Yu Xiaogang took offense at his words?

Dai Hao wasn't here now. There was no one who could save him.

Yu Xiaogang knew he'd forced Dai Yuhao to become his disciple. Unless he pulled out something impressive, this person who was probably a Child of Destiny would never truly accept him.

So he simply revealed his true identity, with a slight change to the story.

"The founder of the Tang Sect?"

Yu Xiaogang scoffed. If he couldn't even answer the question of that great disciple of his, he might as well stop trying to win over a Child of Destiny and go turn himself in to the Divine Realm...

"The founder of the Tang Sect was named Tang San. He held Dual Godhood as both the Sea God and Asura God."

"As for what sort of person he was..."

Yu Xiaogang paused to think, apparently searching for the right words.

" Tang San was disloyal and unfilial, and especially prone to forgetting his roots. He was like that most of all toward his teacher—the Grandmaster from ten thousand years ago, who had taught eight gods."

"Even though he held Dual Godhood, he let his teacher and his teacher's wife grow old and die in the lower realm. He was nothing but a despicable little man..."

Yu Xiaogang could talk about Tang San's faults for three days and three nights, and the more he talked, the more fired up he got...

Dai Yuhao was stunned as he listened. Just how much did this San Pao Douluo hate the Sea God?

Huo Yun'er had told him stories about the Tang Sect ever since he was little.

She'd especially told him about the Sea God, the founder of the Tang Sect, and how the Sea God had defeated the evil Spirit Hall and saved all the people of the continent.

So the person Dai Yuhao admired most was Sea God Tang San.

Yet this man was insulting his idol, trying to shatter his idealized image of the Sea God.

Dai Yuhao couldn't stand it for a second. His voice rose louder than before. "You're talking out of your ass! Lord Sea God isn't like that at all!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression instantly turned grave, as if he were ready to strike at any moment.

The instant the words left his mouth, Dai Yuhao regretted them.

What had just happened? He'd actually talked back to a Titled Douluo over someone he didn't even know...

Wasn't that just asking to die?

Dai Yuhao's face turned deathly pale. He seemed to want to add something, but he knew...it was too late.

However, the thunderous rage he'd expected never came.

Yu Xiaogang paid him no mind. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the sky, his expression utterly grave. "Damn it, they're here already!"

"No... Maybe they're just making their usual rounds..."

Clinging to a sliver of hope, Yu Xiaogang decided to wait a little longer. Perhaps they really were only patrolling.

Without warning, the sky above them went from cloudless and clear to overcast in an instant.

Dark, oppressive clouds gathered from every direction, covering the entire sky. Countless streaks of lightning flashed within them.

"What the hell is Xiao San doing? Wasn't he supposed to help cover for me? Why did this bring the Celestial Hunters..." Yu Xiaogang muttered under his breath, then immediately braced himself for battle.

Patrolling, my ass!

This was clearly a show of force meant to capture him!

"Fart God! You dare sneak into the lower realm! We've been ordered to arrest you. Do you have any objections?"

A stern voice descended from above, audible only to Yu Xiaogang.

"Objections? Of course I have objections, as the Grandmaster!" Yu Xiaogang decided there was no point hiding anymore and flew straight toward the sky.

Now that he'd been exposed, running away wouldn't solve anything. All he could do was see if he could bluff them...

He flew upward for an unknown distance before finally seeing dozens of imposing Celestial Hunters and...a Divine Official?

"Outrageous, Fart God! You dared attack me! I'll teach you a lesson!"

The speaker was the very Divine Official whom Yu Xiaogang had knocked unconscious earlier with three farts.

"What? You want to get a taste of my farts again?" Seeing the familiar Divine Official, Yu Xiaogang swiftly regained the bearing of a Third-Level God and taunted him.

The Divine Official instinctively covered his nose and mouth, ready to dodge the fart that could come at any moment.

He remembered what had happened in the teleportation passage, the yellow-purple wave of gas, and the suffocating stench...

The Divine Official didn't dare go up himself, so he randomly picked a Celestial Hunter. "You! Go capture the Fart God!"

"Huh? Me?"

The Celestial Hunter he'd pointed at immediately looked crestfallen.

Throughout the entire Divine Realm...

Everyone knew the one person you absolutely mustn't offend was that Fart God, Yu Xiaogang.

He was Lord Sea God's teacher, so the gods had to show the Sea God some respect... But the most important thing was that no one wanted to smell someone else's farts...

"That's right, you!" The Divine Official's voice carried a hint of arrogance.

Ever since the God King of Destruction had taken him away, he'd become one of the God King of Destruction's people. He was only a Divine Official for now, but he'd already developed a sense of superiority.
