Yu Xiaogang Raised a God

Back at the academy, Tang Hao and Tang San discussed matters related to Deities in Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.

Tang San was surprised to discover that his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had long known his father's identity and that he was the son of Clear Sky Douluo.

Now, apart from his little sister Xiao Wu, the two people closest to him in the world were right before him. Tang San had no intention of hiding anything and honestly told them about the Sea God's succession, displaying the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud that had just acknowledged him as its master.

When a deep-blue triangular object flew out from between Tang San's brows, Yu Xiaogang instinctively stepped back several paces.

Tang San explained, "Teacher, don't worry. According to the Sea God, this object is called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in the Mortal Realm. Unless its four attached skills are activated, it won't harm anyone."

"What?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened at once. "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud? Isn't that the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure? Little San, how did it end up in your hands?"

Tang San shook his head in confusion. "I don't know either. It suddenly appeared. Perhaps it was guided by the Sea God to come here and acknowledge me as its master?"

"The Sea God said that only after it acknowledges a master can the Sea God's Nine Trials he bestowed be activated, allowing one to become the next Sea God."

Hearing that his disciple had gained a Deity's favor and might become a god in the future, Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with emotion.

Previously, he had only wanted to raise Tang San into the most outstanding Titled Douluo.

He had never expected to have the chance to raise a god!

Excitement, exhilaration, countless emotions beyond words filled him. Yu Xiaogang stared brightly and said, "Good, excellent! Little San, you haven't disappointed your teacher. It seems my theoretical guidance was what allowed you to gain the qualifications to become a god!"

"I, Yu Xiaogang, actually raised a god!!"

Tang San immediately understood. No wonder the Sea God had favored him for no reason—it turned out that Teacher Yu Xiaogang had taught him so well!

Back then, listening to this teacher and absorbing beast soul rings and poison-attributed soul rings had indeed been the right choice!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Tang San smiled. "Yes, Teacher. I only received your guidance for two years, yet I was able to gain a Deity's favor. That shows just how powerful your theories are. Teacher, congratulations. You aren't an expert at raising monsters—you are a master at raising Deities!"

Even Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, could not help seeing Yu Xiaogang in a new light.

He had remained by Tang San's side throughout these past two years, so he had naturally witnessed Yu Xiaogang's sincere teachings firsthand.

This master truly deserved to be called an unrivaled master of theory. He had actually raised his son into a Deity's successor!

If the Clear Sky Sect could invite this master back to serve as a teacher, wouldn't everyone in the Clear Sky Sect have the potential to become gods?

At that thought, a trace of regret flashed through Tang Hao's eyes.

He remembered that the master was the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's sect master.

If Yu Yuanzhen learned that the master had raised a Deity's successor, he would surely regret driving the master out of the sect back then.

Coming back to his senses, Tang Hao got to the point and said with a measure of respect, "Master, since we have confirmed that Little San is a Deity's successor, we should quickly plan his future development. With your vast knowledge, you should have heard of the Deity known as the Sea God."

Yu Xiaogang forcibly suppressed his excitement. Now that he had raised a Deity's successor, he was full of confidence. Even when facing Tang Hao, a Titled Douluo, he no longer felt inferior and calmly replied, "No, I have never heard of the Sea God. However, I have heard of the Angel God."

"It is said that Spirit Hall was originally an organization left behind in the Mortal Realm by the Angel God. The Qian Clan's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul comes with an Angel God inheritance. Those with outstanding talent can activate the Angel God's Nine Trials and become the Angel God."

"As for the relationship between the Sea God and Sea God Island, it is likely similar to that between the Angel God and Spirit Hall."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang searched through the various books on the shelves.

They were called books, but they were actually just copied manuscripts.

These manuscripts had all been copied from the Spirit Hall Library, and some were even original works directly transferred out of the Spirit Hall Library.

While Yu Xiaogang searched for books, Tang Hao explained, "I do know about Sea God Island."

"Back then, my elder brother Tang Xiao and I followed our great-grandfather Tang Chen onto the island under the pretext of delivering a letter. We saw the scenery there, and we understood even more clearly just how dangerous it was!"

"If what Little San says is true, and he must travel to Sea God Island to activate the Sea God's Nine Trials, then with his current strength as a Two-Ring Great Soul Master, it is clearly far too early."

"Even I am not confident I could establish myself on Sea God Island, because there is a Sea God Douluo there, Bo Saixi. Her strength has reached the peak of Peerless Douluo. Even my grandfather did not dare underestimate her."

"Peerless Douluo?" Tang San's eyes were filled with shock.

In just one day, he had received far too much information. It was as though his horizons had suddenly expanded beyond measure. He asked curiously, "Teacher, isn't Titled Douluo the strongest title a soul master can have?"

"No. Titled Douluos are also divided into ranks. Little San, you're only eight years old and merely a Two-Ring Great Soul Master, so I never told you knowledge related to Peerless Douluos. Now that you have even come into contact with the level of gods, I think it is time to change the plans for your education."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang left the bookshelf and returned to Tang Hao and Tang San. He said regretfully, "Unfortunately, none of the books I possess contain knowledge related to Deities."

"Although I have heard of the existence of Deities, I have not studied them deeply. I only know that there is a soul beast on the continent with Evil God Bloodline, called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

"It seems that if we want to learn more about the Sea God, we must make a trip to Sea God Island."

Tang Hao immediately reminded him, "Master, didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Sea God Island is far too dangerous. It is simply not somewhere we can set foot. Besides, once one enters Sea God Hall, unless one possesses exceptional strength, one can forget about ever returning to the continent!"

"Yes. Clear Sky Your Excellency is right. Since Sea God Island cannot be visited, I can only make a trip to Spirit Hall." Yu Xiaogang said thoughtfully, "There are top-secret records related to the Angel God in the Spirit Hall Library. Perhaps there is information there on other Deities as well!"

"Could it be that Master has connections among Spirit Hall's higher-ups?" Tang Hao asked coldly.

"Indeed." Yu Xiaogang clasped his hands behind his back, a trace of complexity appearing in his eyes. "I do know someone high up in Spirit Hall. If I humble myself before her, she will certainly allow me into the Spirit Hall Library. For Little San's sake, I can only ask her for help."

After thinking it over, Tang Hao suggested, "Master, if you can truly enter Spirit Hall, why not ask that higher-up to introduce you to a Spirit Hall soul master named Su Qi? Like Little San, he is eight years old and once participated in the martial soul awakening with him."

"When Su Qi underwent his martial soul awakening, he triggered a heavenly phenomenon and gained a Deity's favor. I tried to kill him back then, but the Deity protecting him severely injured me. My foundation has now been damaged, and I will never have another chance to advance."

"If my guess is correct, Su Qi must have activated a Divine Trial. Otherwise, a Deity would never have personally acted to protect him. So he must know things related to Deities. He may even know what a Divine Trial is!"

After hearing Tang Hao's account, both Yu Xiaogang and Tang San froze, their eyes filled with shock.

Yu Xiaogang was shocked that someone could gain a Deity's favor without receiving guidance from his theories.

Could this Su Qi fellow have been born with the potential to become a god?

Tang San was shocked because it turned out that Su Qi had been the one who caused his father to return home severely injured back then!

Thinking of how his father had been covered in blood, limping along in a wretched state, a flash of hatred instantly appeared in Tang San's eyes.

The hatred of injuring his father was irreconcilable!

What was more, Su Qi had crippled his father's cultivation foundation. If he did not avenge this grudge, he would be unworthy of being his father's son!!

After calming his hatred, Tang San's determination to become a god grew even stronger.

He had to seek justice for his father.

And so that he would have the strength to protect his father, teacher, and little sister Xiao Wu in the future, he had to become stronger.

By becoming a god, he could gain immense power that surpassed everyone else!

In the future, he would not only have all kinds of top-tier Tang Sect hidden weapons at his side, but also the Sea God's divine position to aid him. Would he still be unable to kill Su Qi?

Seeing Tang San's eyes filled with desire to become a god, Yu Xiaogang smiled. This child truly deserved to be called the Deity's successor he had raised. He was far more ambitious than children his age.

To help this disciple become a god as soon as possible, he too should be stubborn for once!

"Good!" Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang Hao and instructed, "Clear Sky Your Excellency, during this period, I will leave Tang San in your care."

"I will set off for Spirit Hall immediately and meet that fellow called Su Qi. Rest assured, I will not expose anything about you or Little San."

"I will use the excuse that I have activated the Theory God's trial, then draw out knowledge related to Deities. Since Su Qi is only eight years old like Little San, he probably isn't very mature and will be easy to fool."

A rare smile appeared on Tang Hao's rough face as he said gratefully, "Then I must trouble Master to make the trip."

"Mm. Little San, while your teacher is away, you may read any of the books on the shelves. If the Sea God gives you any hints afterward, be sure to tell us truthfully. Your father and I will certainly do everything in our power to help you become a god!"

After giving Tang San this instruction, Yu Xiaogang walked out of the dormitory.

Watching him leave, Tang Hao patted Tang San on the shoulder and smiled in relief.

Warmth surged through Tang San's heart. He deeply understood what fatherly love was. His father's expectations and concern for him were a kind of familial affection he had never possessed in his previous life at the Tang Sect!

Just as Yu Xiaogang took a carriage toward Spirit City, far away in Spirit City, outside Douluo Hall, Su Qi sat cross-legged before his own tomb, diligently cultivating his soul power with the Soul Meditation Method.

At that moment, a burst of soul power carrying divine killing intent erupted from his body. It was a sign that his soul power had risen.

After a year of arduous cultivation, his soul power had finally broken through to the level-sixty bottleneck. He could obtain his sixth soul ring and advance!

What delighted Su Qi even more was that, at the moment of his breakthrough, the soul power inside his body had completely transformed from liquid to solid, successfully condensing his first Soul Core.
