Godhood Out of Reach, He Set His Sights on Immortal Herbs Again

When the suddenly appearing Luo Sanpao came into view, the three bandits were briefly stunned. "Uh... what is that???"

A fat creature that looked neither like a pig nor a dog struck them as utterly ridiculous.

The three immediately burst into laughter. "Hahaha! Boss, I'm dying here! What kind of Martial Soul is that? A pig-dog?"

"Who knows? I think it looks more like a dog."

Being mocked in public made Yu Xiaogang's eyes turn bloodshot. He panted like a bull. "Damn it! A few lowly commoners dare mock this master..."

Yu Xiaogang decided to teach these ordinary bandits, who dared laugh at him, a profound lesson. "A fart like thunder, shaking heaven and splitting earth, Luo San..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could shout the word "Pao," Scarface Bro and the others exchanged glances, cruel smiles curling across their lips. The Soul Rings beneath their feet lit up one after another.

White, yellow, yellow, purple, purple.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, purple, black.

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened at once, his face looking as though he had seen a ghost. "Th-this is impossible..."

He had never imagined that these three bandits were Soul Masters—two level-fifty Soul Kings, and especially their leader, Scarface Bro, who was actually a level-sixty Soul Emperor.

Guys! With strength like yours, did you really need to become bandits?

Two Soul Kings and one Soul Emperor—if you joined any major power, you would at least be stewards or elders. Wasn't that far better than being bandits?

While Yu Xiaogang was lost in thought, he felt a chill at his neck. When he came back to himself, he found that the two Soul King bandits had placed two gleaming broadswords directly against his neck, one on each side.

--Drip--

Blood dripped down. Yu Xiaogang merely shifted his body slightly, and the two blades sliced through the skin of his neck. The fear of death froze him in place, and he did not dare move an inch.

Scarface Bro carried a broadsword over his shoulder as he approached with an ill-intentioned grin. "Hehehe! What did you call us just now? Lowly commoners? So that makes you a noble, huh?"

Because they were too weak to keep up with the large group heading for the Frozen Forest to seize Godhood, they had instead managed to save their lives.

They had originally been preparing to slink away from the Heaven Dou Mountain Range, but they had never expected to run into such a fat sheep.

The other two bandits grew impatient. "Boss, why waste words with him? Since this brat doesn't know what's good for him, let's just kill him..."

"Exactly! This brat is not only a noble but also a Soul Master. There must be plenty of valuable things in his Soul Tool."

Scarface Bro looked at Yu Xiaogang's fair, delicate skin, and a heated glint flashed through his eyes. He truly could not bear to kill him.

After all, as a commoner, he had never played with a noble before!

Now that you mention it, it really was true.

Although Yu Xiaogang was useless, he had never suffered much or done any work. He had spent all his time freeloading at Notting Academy, so his skin really was fair and delicate.

This undoubtedly struck at some of Scarface Bro's particular preferences!

Hearing that these bandits wanted to kill him, Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked. "Y-you can't kill me. I am a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen is my father."

"If you kill me, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will never let you go. My father will tear you into pieces, and he will even wipe out the families and forces behind you!"

To save his life, Yu Xiaogang invoked not only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but also Yu Yuanzhen.

He had finally obtained secret information about Deities. He had yet to write books and establish his legacy, had yet to become famous across the continent. He could not die.

And now, with an opportunity like the Sky Screen that could defy fate and change one's destiny, perhaps one day he would make it onto rankings such as the Martial Soul Theory Rankings or Wisdom Rankings, receive rewards bestowed by the Sky Screen, break through level thirty, or even become a Titled Douluo. It was not impossible for him to become a god.

At the thought of receiving a Sky Screen reward, breaking through level thirty, becoming a Titled Douluo, or even becoming a god, then leaving his name for posterity and earning the reverence of countless people, Yu Xiaogang forgot even his fear of death. His eyes turned bloodshot with excitement, he panted like a bull, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

He could not die. He not only wanted to break through level thirty, but also become a Titled Douluo—and, beyond that, a lofty Deity. He would trample everyone who had ever looked down on him beneath his feet.

Scarface Bro's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought of teasing Yu Xiaogang. "Do you take us for fools? The inherited Martial Soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"You say you are a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and that Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen is your father? Then how do you prove it? I've never heard of any disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan whose Martial Soul was a pig-dog."

A fair-skinned, delicate noble had already made him drool with anticipation. If this fat sheep was also Thunder Douluo's biological son, then Scarface Bro would be in paradise!

Seeing that his threat had worked, Yu Xiaogang immediately took a token engraved with a thunder dragon from his Soul Tool. "This is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan identity token. My name, Yu Xiaogang, is engraved on it. It can prove my identity."

Although Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the other elders had not taken back his direct-line disciple token. No matter how useless Yu Xiaogang was, it could not change the fact that his father was Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.

As the saying went, even when beating a dog, one had to consider its owner. Those elders could look down on Yu Xiaogang as a useless piece of trash, but they could not refuse to give Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader, some face.

Just as Scarface Bro examined the token, the Sky Screen underwent another change.

[Water Dragon King (Ice Dragon King) was likewise born from the common ruler of the Soul Beast Clan—the Dragon God. She was the Dragon God's most beloved child, the ruler of water and ice. She was born a Deity, one of the Dragon Clan's nine Dragon Kings.]

[The Dragon God went mad, throwing the God Realm into turmoil. Human Deities and the Soul Beast Clan's Deities erupted into a brutal divine war. The flames of war swept across the entire God Realm, and countless powerful Deities fell one after another. Water Dragon King (Ice Dragon King) also perished as a result. Her blood and body, together with those of the Fire Dragon King, transformed into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. In the end, with the help of the Lord of Douluo Star, Water Dragon King (Ice Dragon King) lived another life as a human.]

Looking at those Immortal Herbs that could defy fate and change one's destiny, greed still flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes, even with two blades pressed against his neck.

"Damn it! So many Immortal Herbs falling into the hands of the Tianshui Shui Family is simply a waste of heaven's gifts! If this master could obtain Immortal Herbs, I could definitely break through level thirty. Even becoming the Titled Douluo I have always dreamed of would be effortless."

His father was too afraid of death to dare seize Godhood, and as a level-twenty-nine piece of trash, he naturally had even less courage.
