Only Someone Like That Deserves to Be My Disciple, Yu Xiaogang Said

The shocking battle on the moon was projected into every corner of the Douluo Continent. Its heart-stopping opening left countless witnesses gaping, shaken to the core.

[Whoa! So this is a battle between gods?]

[Straight to a clash of domains, Super Divine Artifact against Super Divine Artifact.]

[Two against one. Easy win.]

[The Angel God and Sea God are First-Level Gods, but they're up against the Asura God, who's a God King. How could they possibly win?]

[Who are you, person above, and how do you know all that?]

[One domain covers half the moon?]

[Why aren't they using Soul Skills?]

[Isn't it obvious? They're gods now. Of course they're using Divine Skills.]

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Six-year-old Ning Rongrong's mouth hung slightly open. Her bright, glasslike eyes stayed fixed on the Heavenly Screen suspended in midair, utterly entranced.

She suddenly turned, stars in her eyes, and tugged at Ning Fengzhi's sleeve. With a child's guileless excitement, she declared, "Dad! That Li Xun is amazing! I want him to be my man!"

Ning Fengzhi stiffened. He looked down at his innocent little daughter, her eyes full of longing, then up at the world-shattering battle between gods on the Heavenly Screen. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Having someone so powerful as a son-in-law would be wonderful. But the scene made it plain that Li Xun and the Angel God Qian Renxue were close. They were clearly already a couple.

Then inspiration struck. Ning Fengzhi slapped his forehead.

The Heavenly Screen showed the future! In the present, the boy named Li Xun had only just awakened his Martial Soul. Nothing was settled yet. He might still have a chance to recruit the boy and make him a son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Interest flared in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. He immediately called out:

"Someone! Intensify the search with everything we have. Find the boy Li Xun!"

Nod Town, Nuoding Academy.

Yu Xiaogang stood before his dormitory window with his hands behind his back. His black clothes hung neatly on his straight frame, and beneath his cropped hair, his eyes were fixed on the Heavenly Screen, blazing with excitement.

The godly clash on the moon shook heaven and earth. Li Xun, Qian Renxue, and Tang San each wielded power far beyond that of a Titled Douluo. Watching them set his heart racing and his blood boiling.

He murmured with absolute conviction, "Only peerless geniuses like them, unrivaled through the ages, deserve everything I, Yu Xiaogang, have learned in my lifetime!"

Years of frustrated ambition erupted within him. His eyes burned as plans raced through his mind:

I must find them and take them as my disciples! I'll pour a lifetime of theory into training them and personally raise three gods! Then I'll be the teacher of gods! From that day on, no one on the Douluo Continent will dare mock me as a useless Soul Master or look down on Yu Xiaogang again!

Once his excitement subsided, Yu Xiaogang quickly calmed down and began working out a plan.

He murmured, a sharp glint in his eyes, "Finding all three won't be easy. But one of them has a top-tier Angel Martial Soul. She must have ties to Spirit Hall!"

With that, his path became clear.

"Bibi Dong! Of course, Bibi Dong! She's the Spirit Hall Pope and has access to information from everywhere. I can ask her to introduce me to the wielder of the Angel Martial Soul, then use Spirit Hall's full strength to find the other two!"

With his plan settled, Yu Xiaogang did not hesitate.

He hurried into his dormitory and packed a few belongings. Without wasting another moment, he left Nuoding Academy and sped toward distant Spirit City.

At that moment, his mind was consumed by grand ambitions of restoring his reputation and taking gods as disciples. It never occurred to him that they could become gods just fine without him!!!

[Tang San vanished into the void. Using Spatial Shift, he silently appeared behind Li Xun. Blue and gold light flowed over the Sea God Trident in his hands as it cut through the moon's thin atmosphere. Laden with the Sea God's immense divine power, it came down toward Li Xun's head.

Li Xun did not even turn to face the sudden attack. With a flick of his wrist, he raised the crimson Asura Blood Sword above his head.

Clang!

The Sea God Trident crashed against the Asura Blood Sword. The violent collision of divine power sent rings of energy rippling through the air.

Before Tang San could change his attack, Li Xun spun with the force of the impact and drove a heavy kick into his chest.

Pfft!

Tang San grunted as the tremendous force sent his Divine Body flying backward.

Li Xun had no intention of stopping there. He stepped through the void and pursued Tang San like a black shadow. Raising the Asura Blood Sword high, he gathered a savage blood-red divine light along its edge, then thrust straight at Tang San's heart. The ruthless strike could have grievously wounded a First-Level God.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted. Her six pairs of angel wings beat with all their might, and she swept in with the Angel Sacred Sword wrapped in golden holy light.

Clang—!!

The Angel Sacred Sword caught the Asura Blood Sword's deadly thrust. Their opposing divine powers collided fiercely, sending blinding waves of light in every direction.

"Xiao San! Are you all right?" Qian Renxue asked, turning her head.

Tang San landed with the rebound from the clash and staggered two steps before steadying himself. A dull ache still throbbed in his chest from the kick. He shook his head. "I'm fine, Sister Xue."

Li Xun eased some of the pressure he was exerting on the sacred sword. He did not press his advantage. His black robe billowed in the void as he looked at the two of them and said reluctantly:

"Xue'er, Xiao San, stop now. You can't beat me."

Qian Renxue gripped the Angel Sacred Sword. Three of her wings trembled faintly, and love and pain mingled in her eyes as she gazed at him. "A Xun, I know. But we can't stand by and watch you keep making the same mistake."

At her answer, helplessness flickered across Li Xun's face before coldness covered it.

"You refuse to listen."]

On Douluo Star, everyone watching the scene burst into discussion, flooding the screen with comments.

[What's going on? He's overpowering them two against one.]

[Looks like that expert was right. They really can't beat him.]

[But that doesn't make sense. If Li Xun wins, how do you explain what the Heavenly Screen showed earlier?]

[He hasn't won. There's bound to be a reversal later.]

[My wild guess: Qian Renxue's love changes Li Xun's mind. Otherwise, how do you explain why he doesn't succeed when he's winning right now?]

[You know, the person above might have a point!]

Spirit Hall's Consecration Hall.

Qian Daoliu's face darkened as he watched the Heavenly Screen. The other consecrators looked no happier.

"He dares bully Xue'er? Big Brother, let's find this boy and teach him a lesson!" Golden Crocodile said indignantly. "He needs to learn that hitting his wife is no way to behave!"

"That's right, Big Brother!"

The other consecrators joined in, indignant one and all. Seeing the girl they doted on getting beaten on the Heavenly Screen had brought out every protective instinct they had.

Qian Daoliu wondered, Should I give that boy a good talking-to before he grows strong, so he'll treat Xue'er better in the future?

At the Heaven Dou Crown Prince's Residence, Snake Lance Douluo turned to Qian Renxue with an indignant look. "Your Highness, this boy may be your future husband, but he dared hit you. Shall I go teach him a lesson?"

At that, a faint blush rose over Qian Renxue's exquisite face, and her ears grew warm. "Snake Lance, don't talk nonsense," she scolded softly. "He isn't my husband yet."
