I Am Another You!

The Golden Sacred Dragon shrank several sizes and affectionately rubbed against Yu Xiaogang's hand.

"Alright, alright. We're going back to the clan now. You can eat as much as you want."

"What... what did you mean by that...?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were filled with fear and evasion. His heart was in turmoil.

"You said I don't understand."

"Then do you understand how much effort and how many sacrifices I made to evolve Sanpao into the Golden Sacred Dragon?"

"Do you know how many times I nearly died trying to evolve my Martial Soul?"

"You don't understand, Yu Xiaogang."

"Because you chose to give up. Deep down, you never believed in Sanpao."

"You only saw him as a completely useless pig!"

Yu Xiaogang truly felt that Luo Sanpao was undeserving of this. "I am another you!"

"I don't know why this happened, but I do know that this time, I will never fall at the Moment of Ascension again!"

"I will take Sanpao with me and ascend to the God Realm!"

The Golden Sacred Dragon responded with a dragon roar.

"Impossible... impossible..."

"You're lying to me!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, and he refused to believe it. "You're not Luo Sanpao at all. You're the Golden Sacred Dragon!"

"Do you know why Sanpao turned out like that?" Yu Xiaogang paid him no mind, merely stroking the Golden Sacred Dragon as he spoke.

"Because with our Innate Soul Power, we simply couldn't support Sanpao through a complete evolution. His evolution was interrupted halfway through."

"That's why he became Luo Sanpao."

"But through acquired effort, we could have helped Sanpao make up for his flaws."

"But you chose to run away. Once you reached your bottleneck, you chose to give up."

Yu Xiaogang clutched his head in agony. "That's not true, that's not true!"

"Luo Sanpao is the useless one! If I had the Golden Sacred Dragon, I definitely wouldn't be like this now!"

Yu Xiaogang gave a disdainful snort. "Heh. If you had the Golden Sacred Dragon as your Martial Soul, you'd have ruined it."

"Tell me, why did you think of attaching a flight Soul Skill to the Golden Sacred Dragon, and why did you choose the Four-Eyed Cat Eagle? And why attach a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider as your second Soul Ring?"

Yu Xiaogang raised his head, glaring furiously. "What's wrong with using the least important first Soul Ring to gain flight? Even if it means lacking an offensive Soul Skill, as long as I can control the skies, the Golden Sacred Dragon's immense strength will make it invincible in the early stages!"

"The Four-Eyed Cat Eagle's speed ranks among the best of flying soul beasts. What's wrong with that?"

Yu Xiaogang fell silent for two seconds before slowly speaking. "Don't you know that after the Golden Sacred Dragon undergoes Martial Soul Possession and dragonifies, it has dragon wings?"

"The Golden Sacred Dragon can already fly. Why would I waste a Soul Ring on a flight-type Soul Skill?"

"?" Yu Xiaogang froze.

He had always thought the flight ability of their Trinity Fusion Technique came from Flender's Four-Eyed Cat Eagle...

So the Golden Sacred Dragon could fly from the start?

"Then what's wrong with the second Soul Ring? The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider can definitely provide an incredibly powerful offensive Soul Skill!"

"It can also add a poison attribute, killing two birds with one stone."

"You chose it as your second Soul Ring because Bibi Dong's second Martial Soul is the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, right?" Yu Xiaogang truly wanted to confirm whether this Yu Xiaogang had been thinking that way.

He knew Bibi Dong's Soul Skills from both Martial Souls like the back of his hand.

"What's wrong with that? The Soul-Devouring Demon Spider is already a top-tier soul beast. Since the First Soul Skill isn't an offensive one, I urgently need a Soul Skill with powerful attack strength. If I'm lucky, I might even gain an extra poison attribute. It's simply killing two birds with one stone."

That was exactly what Yu Xiaogang thought.

You used your first Soul Ring for something else, so you effectively had one less offensive Soul Skill than everyone else.

Your Second Soul Skill had to be exceptionally powerful, the kind that could match two of theirs by itself.

And if it could grant an extra attribute, wouldn't that make it even stronger?

"You've got it completely backward!"

"Do you know what attributes the Golden Sacred Dragon has?"

"Of course I do. Light, lightning, fire. Beyond that, dragon-type Martial Souls are never weak in terms of strength."

Yu Xiaogang was so angry that his head was starting to spin. "Then why would you add a poison attribute?"

"Why not continue strengthening its innate attributes?"

Why was the him of this world so stupid?

"Is there a problem?"

"Don't you know that adding a poison attribute conflicts with the Golden Sacred Dragon's attributes? It will only contaminate the Golden Sacred Dragon's origin." Yu Xiaogang was truly speechless.

So he really chose it as the second Soul Ring just because Bibi Dong's Martial Soul was that?

Bibi Dong's poison attribute was indeed powerful. Extremely powerful.

But that was because Bibi Dong's Martial Souls were originally the two Spider Emperors!

She was already built for poison. Wasn't it only natural for her to keep strengthening her poison attribute?

Shouldn't the Martial Soul's own characteristics and attributes be the first consideration when attaching Soul Rings?

His Golden Sacred Dragon could actually also be called the Light Sacred Dragon.

He did not know why this life had granted it an additional ultimate strength attribute, but those two attributes did not conflict.

Making an ultimate light attribute play with poison? Wasn't that cutting off its own future?

"..." Yu Xiaogang fell silent.

He was so thoroughly rebuked that his mind had become muddled.

Could it be... that he had really been wrong?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He was the Grandmaster! He had studied Martial Souls for so many years. How could he be wrong?!

"Then what Soul Rings did you attach to the Golden Sacred Dragon?"

"Since you want to know so badly, I'll satisfy your curiosity." Yu Xiaogang could not be bothered to say more.

He directly summoned his Soul Rings.

"Impossible! How are you still alive?!"

"Smack!"

A resounding slap of lightning struck Yu Xiaogang directly across the face.

Yu Yuanzhen appeared with a dark expression. "You unfilial bastard! What are you saying?!"

Yu Xiaogang spun three and a half times through the air before crashing to the ground. Covering his swollen left cheek, he said, "Father...?"

"Don't call me Father. I don't have an unfilial son like you!" Yu Yuanzhen was furious.

He was practically about to be angered to death!

"Impossible, this must be fake!" Yu Xiaogang forced himself to stand despite the pain.

He could no longer care about any of that.

At this very moment, his eyes were fixed on the two dazzling purple Soul Rings.

The first Soul Ring and the second Soul Ring were both Thousand-Year Soul Rings!!!

That was simply impossible!

"The upper limit for the first Soul Ring is four hundred and twenty-three years! The upper limit for the second Soul Ring is seven hundred and sixty-four years!"

"Those are precise figures established through the continuous experiments of generation after generation!"

Yu Xiaogang simply could not believe that this person claiming to be another version of himself had two Thousand-Year Soul Rings.

"Generation after generation?" Yu Xiaogang revealed an unreadable smile. "Didn't your work claim that all those theories were created by you alone?"

"Where does this generation after generation come from?"
