Rekindling Yu Xiaogang's Manhood, Plot Changes (Please Bookmark!)

"Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit? Did Tang San ever obtain something like this?"

Lu Li looked at the information on the System Panel, his mind racing. After confirming that his memories were correct, he began flipping through the information below regarding the Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit.

[Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit: Its power does not nourish gently, but tempers the body through the extreme process of destruction and reconstruction.]

[After consumption, its medicinal power simulates molten lava flooding the body, forcibly burning, compressing, and shattering the consumer's bones and meridians before using the earth power contained within it to reconstruct them. The newly formed bones will be far denser than those of ordinary people, while the meridians will become more resilient.]

Lu Li's hand paused as he flipped through the panel.

"It looks pretty impressive. I can go get one while also investigating exactly how Tang San obtained this Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit."

This was crucial to Lu Li, whose fate was deeply intertwined with Tang San's. After all, this item had never appeared in the original work.

Yet it had now appeared. This most likely meant the plot had already deviated from the original.

Lu Li had to figure out what exactly was going on.

Lu Li rose to his feet, glanced at the slightly yellowing horizon, and headed straight out toward the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.

At the imperial palace, in the East Palace, Qian Renxue had just returned from Ning Fengzhi's place and was preparing to rest when Stingray's voice suddenly came from outside.

"Young Master, according to the information our people have gathered, that child left the city just now."

Qian Renxue's appearance reverted to that of Xue Qinghe. She walked over and opened the door. Aside from Stingray, who was kneeling on one knee, there was no one outside.

"Our people didn't follow him, did they?"

Qian Renxue was particularly concerned about this. There was nearly a ninety percent chance that a level ninety-seven Title Douluo stood behind that child. If they followed him, they would be discovered before they had gone a hundred meters.

Stingray, still kneeling on one knee, shook his head.

"No. Our people strictly followed your orders. The moment they spotted him, they came to report it and did not track him."

Qian Renxue nodded at that. As long as they had not followed him, she was relieved.

"Set up surveillance at Heaven Dou City's gates now. If he returns, use a relay of people and find a way to determine where he lives."

One person would follow at a distance of roughly ten meters before being replaced by the next. It would take a large number of people to keep watch, but it was the best way to avoid a level ninety-seven Title Douluo's perception and successfully track him to his residence.

"Yes, Young Master."

After receiving the order, Stingray stepped into a dark corner and silently went to relay the information.

Qian Renxue closed the door, lay on her bed, and stared at the ceiling.

"I hope everything goes as smoothly as I imagine."

After murmuring that, Qian Renxue slowly drifted off to sleep.

As for Lu Li, after leaving Heaven Dou City, he found an open area. Once he confirmed that no one was nearby, he mounted Little Yellow, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast mount, and flew toward Notting City.

In Yu Xiaogang's office at Notting Academy in Notting City, a man entirely shrouded in a black robe, reeking horribly, stared fervently at Tang San, whose skin was as red as molten lava.

Beside the black-robed man, Yu Xiaogang looked at him with the adoring gaze of someone meeting his idol.

The black-robed man removed his robe, revealing a weathered, bearded face. He was none other than Tang Hao, also known as Tang Ritian.

"Your Excellency Haotian, you actually managed to obtain the Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit—and it's even a thousand-year one!"

Yu Xiaogang's voice lacked the boldness expected of a normal man's voice. Instead, it carried a trace of a raspy duck-like tone.

And on closer inspection, not a single beard remained on Yu Xiaogang's once-stubbled face. His complexion had become much paler, and coupled with that short flat-top haircut—

He looked rather like a boiled egg.

Tang Hao glanced at Yu Xiaogang with faint disgust in his eyes.

He knew that Yu Xiaogang no longer had that thing. A person without a man's dignity was actually the teacher of his son, the Haotian Douluo's son. The more he thought about it, the more absurd it seemed.

"Mm. As long as Xiao San can become stronger, that's enough."

This thousand-year Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit had taken him, the Haotian Douluo, smashing more than a dozen Spirit Hall Sub-Halls to find.

But for his good son's future cultivation to go more smoothly, even if this old father had to smash a hundred Spirit Hall Sub-Halls, it would be worth it.

"With my strength, I couldn't see through that child's Innate Spirit Power at all. And he even has a level ninety-seven Title Douluo as a guard. Just who is he?"

Tang Hao walked to a window, his gaze lost as he looked into the distance and pondered to himself.

That day, after Lu Li and Dragon One left, Tang Hao first went back to check on his son. When he discovered that Tang San's first Spirit Ring was merely a four-hundred-year ring, he was extremely dissatisfied.

Combined with the emergence of an unknown force that was very likely immensely powerful, this had forced Tang Hao to risk being discovered by Spirit Hall in order to seize a heavenly treasure that could strengthen Tang San's body.

"The continent's landscape will soon undergo earth-shaking changes. Xiao San must grow stronger as quickly as possible to face those changes, take revenge on Spirit Hall, and return to the sect!"

A trace of fervor shone in Tang Hao's eyes.

When he discovered that his precious son possessed Twin Martial Souls, he had been overjoyed, because he saw hope for taking revenge on Spirit Hall through his son!

"I hope it was the right choice to enter the fray early, risk being discovered, and lay Xiao San's foundation ahead of time."

Just as Tang Hao was lost in his thoughts, Tang San, who was absorbing the Scarlet-Scaled Lava Fruit, suddenly let out an extremely satisfied cry.

Tang Hao turned around and saw that his son was nearly finished absorbing it. He quickly walked over to Yu Xiaogang and said quietly, "I'll leave first. Remember, don't let Xiao San know about my existence yet."

Upon hearing the command issued by his idol, Yu Xiaogang immediately straightened his back.

"Rest assured, with Xiao San under my care, I will definitely raise him into an unparalleled powerhouse!"

At those words, Tang Hao nearly failed to hold back his laughter. But since he still needed Yu Xiaogang to cover for him and look after Tang San, he forcibly swallowed his amusement.

"Mm. Remember, I'll appear again when Xiao San obtains his Second Spirit Ring."

After saying that, Tang Hao cloaked himself in black once more and disappeared back into the shadows.

Watching Tang Hao leave, Yu Xiaogang's eyes blazed with fervor.

"Hahaha! With a Title Douluo gathering resources and my, Yu Xiaogang's, world-shaking wisdom, Xiao San's future achievements may not stop at becoming an ordinary Title Douluo. He may become a Title Douluo above level ninety-five!"

"When that time comes, I'd like to see who still dares to look down on me! Who still dares to mock me! Right, and that little bastard!"

Recalling how Lu Li had crushed his dignity as a man into pulp with a huge rock that day, Yu Xiaogang's face twisted grotesquely.

"The hatred of ending my bloodline must be avenged! Once I, Grandmaster Yu, have raised Tang San, I will destroy him and the force behind him at any cost!"

In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Lu Li definitely had a force backing him. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for such a powerful expert to be protecting him.

"If Xiao San becomes a Title Douluo, perhaps he'll have a way to make my little brother grow back and restore my manhood!"

Only Grandmaster Yu could have come up with such an unrealistic fantasy.
