Yu Xiaogang's Light and Dark Double Farts

Di Tian was utterly astonished. "There is such a human?"

Not being within the trajectory of fate was, in his view, simply inconceivable. It meant infinite possibilities—the future was truly boundless!

Na'er nodded slightly and said softly, "I intend to remain by this human's side. Since the Dragon-Slaying Blade has acknowledged him as its master, it means this divine artifact is fated to be with him. There is no need for us to force the matter."

"On the contrary, since he has taken our Dragon Clan's Dragon-Slaying Blade, he now has a connection with the Dragon Clan. Befriending him will benefit the Soul Beast race. Perhaps we may even join forces against the God Realm."

"Go back and inform the main body. I believe she will understand. I will not see you off."

Di Tian fell silent for a moment, then gave a slight nod and bowed. "This subordinate takes his leave."

Space collapsed. Di Tian's figure flashed, and he vanished without a trace, as though he had never been there.

Star Dou Great Forest.

Yu Xiaogang led his people in searching for an entire day, yet they never found the Golden Earth Dragon. This left him deeply frustrated.

Yu Yuanzhen had actually discovered several dragon-type Soul Beasts that he considered suitable along the way. He had even deliberately beaten one of them into a grievously wounded state and left it ahead on Yu Xiaogang's path, yet the boy stubbornly refused to absorb it.

It even gave Yu Xiaogang the illusion that destiny was on his side, making him increasingly picky about his Soul Rings.

Even after four or five days had passed, the group still had not found a Golden Earth Dragon.

At first light in the morning, Yu Xiaogang suddenly sat bolt upright. His impatience had worn away his initial enthusiasm, and he no longer insisted on finding a Golden Earth Dragon. As long as it was a suitable Soul Beast, he would absorb it.

After searching for another half day, Yu Xiaogang finally settled on a target he deemed suitable.

"A Light Lizard Dragon that is over three hundred years old. It will do. It is far inferior to the ideal Golden Earth Dragon, but it is barely acceptable."

He felt that this dragon bore the faintest resemblance to the Radiant Sacred Dragon, so he ultimately decided to hunt this Soul Beast.

Though the Light Lizard Dragon had the word "dragon" in its name, its dragon bloodline was exceedingly thin and impure. It was merely a mixed-blood dragon, and not particularly powerful.

Several outer disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan quickly beat it into a grievously wounded state.

Yu Xiaogang rubbed his hands together, drew a dagger, and killed the Light Lizard Dragon.

Once the Soul Ring rose, Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo Sanpao, sat cross-legged where he was, and began absorbing it.

"A Soul Ring of roughly three hundred and fifty years. Though Xiaogang was naturally frail, he has kept training these past years. Absorbing it should not be a problem."

Yu Yuanzhen, who had been observing in secret, nodded slightly. Though he still felt the Soul Ring was unsuitable, it would be fine as long as Yu Xiaogang absorbed it successfully.

More than ten minutes later, Yu Xiaogang's entire body suddenly trembled, and he swayed unsteadily.

Violent energy continuously battered him. The light around his body flickered between bright and dim; at times, black mist seeped out, while at others, white light shone forth. It looked exceedingly strange.

"Is this... Attribute Backlash? He absorbed an opposing attribute. So that Martial Soul of his really is of the darkness attribute?"

Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly. Years ago, he had suspected that Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao might be a darkness-attribute Martial Soul.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the Martial Soul was too useless, aside from its fur, it did not display a single trace of darkness-attribute traits. He had never found conclusive evidence.

Now, the dark Soul Power fluctuations emitted while absorbing the Soul Ring finally confirmed his suspicions.

Forcibly absorbing a Soul Ring of an opposing attribute would likely make it difficult for him to go far on the path of cultivation in the future.

But with his already abysmal talent, it did not matter how far he could go anyway.

"Pfft—"

After some time, Yu Xiaogang suddenly spat out a cloud of blood and collapsed to the ground. Still, he had barely managed to absorb this Soul Ring.

"This is... damage to his cultivation foundation. A mere three-hundred-year Soul Ring actually injured his foundation. He will likely need to recuperate for at least half a year before he can continue cultivating..."

Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately turned grim.

They shared the same bloodline. His elder brother, Yu Mingxiao, was so outstanding, yet his younger brother, Yu Xiaogang, was such trash.

Although Yu Xiaogang had absorbed a Soul Ring of an opposing attribute, that would only affect his future cultivation; it would not make absorption more difficult.

Who could have imagined that he would nearly fail even at absorbing a mere three-hundred-year Soul Ring?

Yu Yuanzhen sighed softly, feeling utterly humiliated. He no longer wished to watch and turned to leave.

Yu Xiaogang still had not realized the gravity of the situation. Trembling, he climbed to his feet and impatiently released his Martial Soul.

"Come forth, my Golden Sacred Dragon!"

Yu Xiaogang bent his waist and planted his feet, striking an extremely domineering pose as he summoned his Martial Soul.

But in the next moment, a small gray fat pig slowly hopped out.

"Why is it you? Where is my Golden Sacred Dragon?"

Yu Xiaogang froze on the spot, his face filled with disbelief. His Martial Soul was clearly supposed to transform into a Golden Sacred Dragon, so why... was it still this fat pig?

The nearby outer disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan exchanged glances and could not help covering their mouths as they snickered.

He had struck such an imposing pose that they thought he would summon a Golden Sacred Dragon, but it was still this fat pig.

"Damn it, what are you laughing at?!" Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage. Sensing the effect of his first Soul Skill, the first Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up as he shouted, "First Soul Skill, Fart Like Flashing Light, Black and White Inversion Luo Sanpao!"

As he spoke, his little face reddened. He swiftly turned around, stuck out his buttocks, and with a muffled "pfft," a dazzling burst of light accompanied by a pungent stench blasted forth.

Black and White Inversion Luo Sanpao.

Using Soul Power to forcibly invert the senses and bodily reactions of himself and Luo Sanpao, Luo Sanpao's fart attack could be released by Yu Xiaogang himself as Light Fart Impact!

The power remained unchanged, as did the stench, but the caster changed from the Martial Soul to the Soul Master himself. The move was more sudden and harder to defend against.

Of course, he could also switch the senses and bodily reactions back, allowing Luo Sanpao to unleash Dark Fart Impact. Dark farts were less powerful than light farts, but they had a corrosive effect!

However, Yu Xiaogang had clearly not yet figured out how to switch them...

"Blegh!"

"Blegh!"

"Blegh, blegh, blegh!"

A series of retching sounds rose one after another as Yu Xiaogang's stench polluted the entire forest...

When the group returned to the clan, the disciples who had been hit by his fart in the great forest had long held a grudge against Yu Xiaogang. They eagerly spread word of what had happened to him.

Before long, news that Yu Xiaogang's first Soul Skill involved sticking out his buttocks and farting spread throughout the entire clan.

He once again became the laughingstock of the entire clan and the focus of everyone's discussions.

The elders looked down on him even more, regarding him as the shame of the entire clan.

Unable to bear the humiliation, Yu Xiaogang cried as he hid in his room to cultivate. Yet whenever he circulated his Soul Power, his entire body was wracked with pain.

Later, his father, Yu Yuanzhen, sent a healing-type Soul Master to treat him. Only then did he learn that he had damaged his cultivation foundation while absorbing the Soul Ring. He would need to recuperate for at least half a year before he could continue cultivating, and he might even be left with permanent hidden injuries...

Yu Xiaogang felt as though the sky had fallen.

Yu Mingxiao also heard about Yu Xiaogang's Soul Skill. Seeing that it was completely different from the original work, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
