Heavenly Screen Betting: Yu Xiaogang Goes All In on His Soul Power!

[At six, he became a Soul Master. At eight, a Soul Grandmaster. At eleven, a level 26 Soul Grandmaster... Sea God Tang San!]

The Heavenly Screen's introduction to Tang San ended.

Soon, light erupted from Huo Yuhao as well.

[He was born into a noble family with ten thousand years of heritage, but his mother was only a maid. The lady of the house oppressed them, and he possessed only level-one Innate Soul Power. He tried many times to leave the family with his mother, only to be dragged back... His mother died of illness on a snowy night, and he swore revenge... At eleven, he became a One-Ring Soul Master!]

Heavenly Screen Betting begins!

[Selecting bettors...!]

Whoosh!

On Tang San's Heavenly Screen, Yu Xiaogang's stubbled face suddenly appeared.

"I got picked! I got picked!"

Yu Xiaogang nearly leaped into the air with excitement.

[Please select your stake: bloodline, Martial Soul, Soul Power, Soul Rings, Soul Bones... lifespan!]

[Comparison wager]

[Tang San wins: 1 to 3.4!]

[Huo Yuhao wins: 1 to 9.99!]

[Rules: Draws are not settled. You cannot bet on both sides. Returns are issued immediately after the comparison!]

Whoosh!

When they saw that Yu Xiaogang had been selected, that he could stake his bloodline, Martial Soul, Soul Power, Soul Rings, and more, and that the odds were so high, everyone in the Three Realms went mad.

Douluo I Era

"Yu Xiaogang? Wait, why does that name sound so familiar?"

"Isn't he the clown of the Soul Master World??"

"The one who used Spirit Hall to put forward those Ten Great Martial Soul Competencies???"

Peerless Tang Sect

"Holy shit, do you even need to think about it? Twin Martial Souls, a Soul Grandmaster against a Soul Master—it's a guaranteed win! Heavenly Screen, you're handing out free rewards to the Douluo I Era!"

Inside the Comparison Space

[Bettors... Yu Xiaogang, Electrolux!]

Electrolux, who was recovering his soul, jolted.

"Something this good can happen?"

"Do I even need to think about it??"

"All in!!!"

The next instant, the Heavenly Screen's voice rang inside Huo Yuhao's mind.

[Electrolux has staked his entire soul on you.]

Inside Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy

Yu Xiaogang trembled all over with excitement.

"It's here, it's here, it's finally here! I've been stuck at level 29 for so many years!"

"They've called me trash for so many years!!"

"My Ten Great Martial Soul Competencies have been buried for so many years!!!"

Yu Xiaogang's gaze locked onto the option to stake Soul Power.

Level 29 Soul Power was the sore spot he had never been able to overcome, the reason he had become a laughingstock.

So the moment Yu Xiaogang gained the right to bet, he chose Soul Power without hesitation.

"All in on Soul Power!"

With Heavenly Screen Betting, his level 29 Soul Power would be multiplied by 3.4. In an instant, he could become a Level 99 Peerless Douluo.

He would become the fourth Peerless Douluo on the entire continent, one of its very few.

With level 99 Soul Power, even a pig could take flight!

He imagined all the cold looks and mockery he had endured over the years vanishing like smoke when the comparison ended.

He was about to become one of the continent's strongest.

"Ahahahahaha!!!"

"Today, I'm taking back everything that belongs to me!!!"

"I'll show everyone what it really means when I say there are no trash Martial Souls, only trash Soul Masters!!!"

On the Comparison Arena

A crisp notification sounded in Tang San's mind.

[Yu Xiaogang has staked all 29 levels of his Soul Power on you!]

Tang San, poised to fight, shuddered.

His eyes instantly filled with emotion.

"I had Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls at six. With my teacher's Ten Great Martial Soul Theories guiding me, both my First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring were absorbed at the limit!"

"With the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track... the Tang Sect Techniques, and even the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, I can't possibly lose to someone with only a white Ten-Year Soul Ring and level 11 Soul Power!"

"Teacher, I'll make sure you break past the level-30 barrier that has held you back your entire life!"

[Bets placed. No further changes... The first live Seven Monsters Comparison of Douluo... officially begins!]

Hum!

With both sides having gone all in, the Three Realms erupted.

Douluo I Era

"A 3.4-times return on his Soul Power will send Yu Xiaogang straight past level 99 and make him the continent's fourth Peerless Douluo!"

[Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong: "That's wonderful, Xiaogang! You can finally break through level 30!"]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen: "Gangzi, where are you? Dad misses you. Bring your disciple back to the clan. The elders know they were wrong!"]

[Blue Tyrant Academy Headmistress Liu Erlong: Xiaogang, I miss you. Where are you?]

For a moment, Yu Xiaogang watched the comments stream across the Heavenly Screen and raised his head proudly.

He felt the world had never treated him so well.

At six, he had awakened his Martial Soul. It should have been the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the continent's foremost Beast Martial Soul, but instead he had awakened Luo Sanpao, a Luo Luo Pig, with barely half a level of Innate Soul Power.

Once the young master of a clan among the Upper Three Sects, he had become an outcast wandering beyond its walls. After countless cold looks and hardships...

For the first time, Yu Xiaogang felt the world favor him again.

He stared straight at the Heavenly Screen, trembling, tears in his eyes. He pointed at it, brimming with spirit.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west—never mock a young man for being poor!!!"

"I'll go to Spirit Hall, and I'll return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But I'm going to take back everything that belongs to me!!!"

"I'll prove to everyone that even a roof tile has its day to turn over, and even an east wind can swing south!!!"

At that moment, years of pent-up suffering finally found an outlet.

Countless onlookers watched with envy, their eyes burning. They had never imagined heaven would favor such a piece of trash.

[First live comparison: Tang San of the Twin Martial Souls vs. Huo Yuhao, Child of Destiny!]

[The Douluo comparison officially begins!!!]

The Blue Silver Grass in Tang San's hand suddenly surged. His First Soul Ring shone, and his eyes turned purple.

"First Soul Skill: Blue Silver Grass, Entanglement!!!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Blue Silver Grass spread at breakneck speed, covering more than half the Heavenly Screen Arena in an instant. Then it wound tightly around Huo Yuhao!

"It's over!"

Tang San raised his head proudly. He carried all his teacher's hopes; he absolutely could not lose!

The next instant, Tang San activated Ghost Concealment Trail and sped toward Huo Yuhao, raising the Blue Silver Grass in his hand and aiming it at Huo Yuhao's mouth.

"Heh... hahahaha!!!"

"A level 99 Limit Douluo! Douluo I Era, your Gangzi Douluo is about to arrive!!!"

Yu Xiaogang shook with excitement.

Across the three worlds, everyone could only watch with helpless envy.

The comparison had barely begun, yet it was already about to end. No one could do anything about it.

Hum!

Huo Yuhao felt the Blue Silver Grass coil around him, its sharp leaves slicing his skin. The Mandala Snake venom it carried gradually numbed his body.

He watched Tang San draw closer.

Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes, and images flickered before him.

The oppression he had faced from birth in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's sacrifice in the Star Dou Great Forest. His mother being beaten to save him. Electrolux's appearance...

At last, the images stopped on that bitterly cold, snowy day. His mother had sent him out to see the snow, then died alone in her room... Crack!

The scene before his eyes shattered.

"Heh... heh, hahahaha!!!"

Behind Huo Yuhao, a colossal gray soul appeared.

The towering soul held a giant Ice Silkworm in his left hand. His eyes were cold, without a trace of feeling. He raised his hand without hesitation.

The next instant, a Giant Gray-Black Runes Soul Ring blazed across the sky.

High above the Comparison Arena, a huge Gray Palm formed in an instant.

Whoosh!

Tang San, still charging toward Huo Yuhao, felt his pupils contract violently.

"Impossible! That's impossible! Isn't his Martial Soul supposed to be his eyes?"

"What the hell is that huge, faceless soul??"

"No! That spiritual power... my soul feels like it's being torn apart!!!"

The enormous Gray Palm descended toward the arena.

Boom!

Splurt!!!
