Hearing Tang Wutong suddenly wise up, Lin Hao froze for a moment and said:
"Oh, so Miss Tang has actually gotten smarter."
Tang Wutong put her hands on her hips and said:
"Hmph, who doesn't know how sneaky and cunning you are, Lin Hao? All you do is trick people, but how could you be smarter than me?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena quietly laughed to themselves.
He was teasing her, and she didn't even know it.
Meanwhile, the animation continued.
After entering the Soul Hunting Forest, Yu Xiaogang summoned the round, plump Luo Sanpao.
Seeing the goofy-looking Luo Sanpao, the three women recalled the earlier meme of Luo Sanpao and Yu Xiaogang gazing lovingly at each other.
At the thought, Tang Wutong gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Hao. "This is all your fault. Now I feel so awkward whenever I see Luo Sanpao."
Qian Renxue nodded, agreeing with Tang Wutong for once.
Gu Yuena felt the same. She wanted to rewind her memories to before she had seen that meme.
Lin Hao spread his hands. "This has nothing to do with me. Blame the video platform's recommendations. I'm a victim too."
After all, no one knew he had the emotion value system, so Lin Hao could only savor his delight in secret.
In the animation.
After Luo Sanpao appeared, Tang San was very curious as well. Luo Sanpao actually had a consciousness of his own.
Yu Xiaogang explained:
"My Sanpao is a mutated martial soul, but it underwent a detrimental mutation."
"When I awakened Sanpao, my innate soul power was only half a rank, so I can never break through rank 30."
He said despondently:
"Because Sanpao cries 'luo luo' and can only attack three times each round, I named it Luo Sanpao."
Tang San felt deeply sorry for his teacher.
With talent like that, his teacher must have suffered plenty of scorn, right?
Qian Renxue was surprised. "Is Yu Xiaogang's talent really that trash?"
Tang Wutong said, "Wouldn't any random chicken from the Divine Realm be stronger than him?"
Gu Yuena said, "Half a rank of innate soul power. I wonder if he could even compare to a Wind Baboon?"
Lin Hao spoke up on Sanpao's behalf:
"Yu Xiaogang may be useless."
"But Luo Sanpao actually isn't!"
"What detrimental mutation? It was clearly Yu Xiaogang himself who held Luo Sanpao back."
The three women looked curiously at Lin Hao.
"Is there more to this?"
Lin Hao scoffed:
"Yu Xiaogang has the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline. When he awakened his martial soul, it mutated into a Golden Sacred Dragon, or rather, a Radiant Sacred Dragon."
"But during the mutation, because Yu Xiaogang was so useless, with only half a rank of innate soul power and a body that was too weak, this beneficial evolution was interrupted. Lacking sufficient soul power, the Golden Sacred Dragon mutated into Luo Sanpao."
????
That utterly stupid-looking Luo Sanpao was actually a devolved Golden Sacred Dragon?
This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, the Golden Sacred Dragon was a true dragon martial soul.
Who knew how much stronger it was than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
Gu Yuena, the Silver Dragon King, frowned even more.
Had it been some other martial soul, that would have been one thing, but this was a Golden Sacred Dragon, or rather, a Radiant Sacred Dragon, and now it had fallen to such a state.
How pathetic!
Lin Hao continued his barrage:
"Otherwise, why do you think the Golden Iron Triangle could fuse as a trinity to produce a Golden Sacred Dragon?"
"Liu Erlong's mutated Fire Dragon martial soul was merely flowers added to brocade. At its root, Luo Sanpao already had that potential."
"With Flender and Liu Erlong giving Yu Xiaogang a transfusion of sufficient soul power, Luo Sanpao could naturally become a Golden Sacred Dragon."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue sneered. That woman really had terrible taste.
She had naturally heard of the Golden Iron Triangle too. She hadn't expected Yu Xiaogang to possess a martial soul with such immense potential, only to develop it into something that could do nothing but fart. It was utterly pathetic.
Tang Wutong asked curiously, "Since he could perform a martial soul fusion skill and knew it could produce a Golden Sacred Dragon, why didn't he develop it in that direction?"
Lin Hao spread his hands.
"Who knows how Grandmaster's mind works?"
"And guess why it's called Sanpao?"
"Because all of Luo Sanpao's attacks rely on farting."
"A mutation of a dignified true dragon martial soul, yet it relies entirely on farting. What an oddity."
Hearing this, Gu Yuena's expression grew even uglier.
As the sovereign of all soul beasts, she had never expected a dignified Light Sacred Dragon martial soul to be squandered like this. It was a disgrace to the dragon race.
This scene was also broadcast across the three timelines.
The Douluo I timeline.
"Does he understand Sanpao, or do I?"
"Sanpao clearly underwent a detrimental mutation. I've researched it for decades. Wouldn't I know better than him?"
Yu Xiaogang was seething.
What does he mean, my body and soul power were too weak and dragged Sanpao down?
This Lin Hao doesn't understand Sanpao at all. He's just spouting nonsense.
Tang San didn't know what to say either. He could only comfort him. "Teacher, please calm down first."
Ning Rongrong, however, wasn't about to indulge him.
She mocked:
"If you ask me, what Lin Hao said really does make sense."
"If it had been someone other than Grandmaster, Sanpao might have become a Golden Sacred Dragon long ago."
Meanwhile, Flender, standing nearby, muttered inwardly:
My Four-Eyed Cat Owl clearly has nothing in common with Xiaogang's martial soul, so why can they fuse?
Now it seems it was entirely because my soul power was high enough.
In that case, has Xiaogang been taking Sanpao's development in completely the wrong direction all these years?
Seeing everyone's doubtful expressions, Yu Xiaogang's face flushed red again.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen was shocked by the explanation on the sky screen!
So the golden light that appeared during that awakening really was a Golden Sacred Dragon!
The clan missed out on a true dragon!
He turned to the elders and said:
"Elders, do you think Xiaogang's Sanpao still has any chance of evolving into a Golden Sacred Dragon?"
The elders snorted.
"With Yu Xiaogang the way he is now, is that even possible?"
"It might have been possible if he had been nurtured from childhood. Now we'd be better off having him father a few more children. Perhaps his descendants might awaken a Radiant Sacred Dragon."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen fell silent.
But he still harbored hope, secretly deciding to bring Yu Xiaogang back to the clan.
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was furious.
"How dare he slander my Xiaogang!"
She had spent years with Yu Xiaogang and had also researched Luo Sanpao, confirming beyond doubt that Luo Sanpao was a trash martial soul.
In her view, as a grandmaster of theory, how could Xiaogang possibly fail to understand Luo Sanpao thoroughly?
Clearly, Lin Hao was merely waging war on paper.
Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo below had no friendship with Yu Xiaogang.
They grumbled inwardly:
Such an awesome Radiant Sacred Dragon almost ended up in that little buzz-cut fellow's hands. Thank goodness it didn't awaken successfully, or it really would have been infuriating.
The Douluo II timeline.
Outside the dormitory at Shrek Academy.
Dragon God Douluo Mu En sat in a rocking chair and sighed.
Possessing a Radiant Sacred Dragon himself, he knew Lin Hao was right.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang did indeed possess the Radiant Sacred Dragon bloodline. It was simply that Yu Xiaogang's talent was far too weak. Had he found the right path later on, he might still have been able to activate the Radiant Sacred Dragon like Bei Bei.
Yet Yu Xiaogang's own cultivation path had gone in entirely the wrong direction.
Now, it was already impossible to change course.
The Douluo Dalu III: The Legend of the Dragon King timeline.
In Aolai City, young Tang Wulin bit his chopsticks and looked at his father, Tang Ziran, a little sadly.
"Dad, is what that big brother on the sky screen said true?"
"Did this Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang really hold his martial soul back?"
"My Blue Silver Grass is so ordinary. Is it because I'm holding him back too?"
