Inside the research base of Interastral Peace Corporation, the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul fusion experiment is ready.
In the center of the spacious laboratory stood a large instrument, where several researchers were conducting final checks. In the adjacent culture device, a black Clear Sky Hammer floated silently, its shaft occasionally flashing with a faint light.
Yu Xiaogang was lying on the testing table, his body covered with various instruments. He was among the first volunteers for this experiment, and also the first person to voluntarily request to undergo Martial Soul Fusion.
To secure this opportunity, he even assured the staff that he would fully cooperate no matter what difficulties he encountered during the experiment.
"Mr. Yu Xiaogang, your physical data has been recorded. However, you previously lost your Martial Soul and currently have no Soul Power, so your situation is rather special. We need to confirm your body's adaptability again," a researcher reminded him, reviewing the data on the screen.
Yu Xiaogang nodded quickly. "No problem, please check! As long as I can regain my Martial Soul, I'm willing to cooperate with any examination!"
The thought of having the chance to obtain the Clear Sky Hammer soon brought a smile to his face, and he no longer felt uncomfortable with the cold testing equipment on his body.
Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others stood in the observation area not far away, watching the staff bustling around. Although Flender was worried about his old friend's health, he knew that Yu Xiaogang had made up his mind, and could only hope that the experiment would be completed smoothly.
Tang San stood to the side with Xiao Wu, his gaze occasionally falling on Yu Xiaogang.
Just then, he suddenly noticed that Lin Yuan was standing on the other side of the laboratory with the Golden Dragon King, chatting and laughing.
Tang San frowned.
When did these two become so close?
Wasn't the Golden Dragon King previously itching to take down Lin Yuan and God King Tang San together? How come he's now standing and chatting casually with Lin Yuan?
Tang San snorted coldly and walked over.
" Lin Yuan, this is an experiment my teacher participated in. What are you two doing here?"
Lin Yuan turned his head, saw that it was Tang San, and immediately smiled.
" Tang San, you're mistaken. Golden Dragon King and I represent the Spirit Hall and the Interastral Peace Corporation respectively, and are responsible for monitoring a key wanted criminal. He's still here, so of course we have to follow him."
After saying that, Lin Yuan gestured towards the God King Tang San, who was not far away.
The Golden Dragon King nodded in agreement. "That's right. After all, I am now an employee of the company. Since I have been assigned work, I must complete it diligently."
Tang San's lips twitched upon hearing this.
He certainly knew who the wanted criminal they were talking about was.
However, when he was wanted by the authorities, he and God King Tang San shared the same body. Now that they have separated, his future self has brought all the trouble to his new body.
Tang San glanced at Lin Yuan, then at the Golden Dragon King, and finally could only snort coldly, ignoring them completely.
He can't beat either of those two guys right now.
Especially the Golden Dragon King, who almost strangled God King Tang San to death before. Although he's standing here now looking very easy to talk to, Tang San doesn't want to test his temper at all.
On the other side, God King Tang San also heard the conversation between the three, and his face immediately darkened.
He now not only owes a huge debt to Interastral Peace Corporation, but has also become a test subject for the company, and could be electrocuted by staff at any time using a controller.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan and the Golden Dragon King, those two bastards, seemed to be enjoying the show even more.
God King Tang San gritted his teeth, cursing incessantly in his heart.
You all just wait until I, the God King, get what's coming to you!
Once I, the God King, regain the power of the Sea God and the Asura God, I will make you pay the price for what you have done today!
You have all already chosen your own paths to death!
However, recalling his previous experience of being electrocuted and convulsing, he ultimately didn't utter those words and could only stand aside, sulking.
At this moment, Nguyen Mai had arrived at the center of the laboratory.
She glanced at Yu Xiaogang's test results and then examined the Artificial Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul next to him.
"Your physical condition is basically up to standard. We will conduct an adaptation test first. For the Martial Soul Fusion, we will temporarily use low-intensity energy to observe whether your body can establish a stable Soul Power pathway."
The staff immediately began adjusting the device.
"Understood, Ms. Ruan Mei. The Martial Soul Fusion Device is ready, and the energy output is maintained within the testing range."
Yu Xiaogang lay on the testing table, listening to the reports from the staff around him, his heart growing increasingly excited.
If this experiment succeeds, he will have the opportunity to shed his status as a cripple and become a Soul Master again.
Moreover, this time, what he will obtain will no longer be Luo Sanpao, who can only fart, but the world's number one Tool Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!
Just as the researchers were preparing to start the instruments, the laboratory door was suddenly pushed open.
"Ms. Nguyen, Nguyen Mai!"
A staff member rushed in, panting, his face beaming with barely concealed excitement.
Ruan Mei looked up at him. "What's wrong?"
"That experimental creation you cultivated before, that dragon egg! It just hatched!"
Nguyen Mai stopped what she was doing.
The staff member quickly continued, "What hatched was a small golden-blue dragon! And it broke through the protective shield of the incubation room right after it was born, and now it's clinging to Mr. Dan Heng, the Nameless, and won't let go!"
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei's eyes finally showed a bit more interest.
"Has it hatched already? It's a little earlier than expected."
Just as she was about to ask for details, March 7th's familiar voice came from outside the door.
" Dan Heng, hurry up! It's not going to eat you, why are you being so careful while carrying a little dragon?"
Immediately afterwards, March 7th and Xing entered the laboratory one after the other.
Xing was still holding her phone, seemingly recording something interesting. March 7th had a big smile on her face, occasionally turning back to look at Dan Heng behind her.
Dan Heng was the last to enter.
Unlike usual, his face now showed obvious helplessness, and a small golden-blue dragon was wrapped around his right arm.
The little dragon's body was not large, with blue patterns distributed on its golden scales. It had two short dragon horns on its head, and its four claws firmly gripped Dan Heng's sleeve. Its slender tail was wrapped around his arm twice.
Dan Heng tried to put it down, but every time he loosened his grip a little, the little dragon would immediately wrap itself around him again and refused to leave.
March 7th was laughing heartily beside them.
"Haha! We tried so many things, but this little guy wouldn't recognize anyone except Dan Heng. Xing tried to coax it with things, but nothing worked. In the end, we had to have Dan Heng bring it along!"
Xing nodded seriously. "I've tried it, it's more interested in Dan Heng than in food."
Dan Heng glanced at them expressionlessly, without replying.
Everyone in the laboratory was drawn to the sudden appearance of the little dragon.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing also curiously joined in, wanting to see what kind of life Ruan Mei had cultivated.
The Golden Dragon King, who had been chatting with Lin Yuan, now turned his gaze to the little dragon on Dan Heng's arm.
He could sense that the newborn little guy possessed a rather unique dragon aura.
However, before the Golden Dragon King could examine the situation closely, a series of urgent sounds suddenly came from the center of the laboratory.
" Sanpao?!"
Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the testing table, suddenly raised his head and looked at the door in disbelief.
His gaze was fixed on the little dragon on Dan Heng's arm, and he became excited.
It can't be wrong!
Although the little dragon's color was somewhat different from Luo Sanpao's in his Remembrance, and its scales were more beautiful, its appearance was clearly like Golden Sacred Dragon shrunk many times over!
Especially the pair of dragon horns and the dragon features on its body reminded Yu Xiaogang of the Golden Sacred Dragon when he, Liu Erlong, Flender used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Moreover, he already knew that after Ruan Mei separated her original Martial Soul Luo Sanpao, she used special dragon blood and Permanence power to modify it, eventually cultivating it into a dragon egg.
The dragon egg has finally hatched!
Yu Xiaogang was so excited that his hands were trembling.
He never imagined that he, the originally weak Luo Sanpao, could actually evolve into a dragon!
Look at those golden-blue scales, and then look at those two dragon horns—where is there any trace of the dragon that used to only fart?
This is clearly a real dragon!
Yu Xiaogang became more and more excited as he watched, and even began to plan how to bring Luo Sanpao back to his side.
After all, he was Luo Sanpao's former master, and they had spent so many years together. Although it had evolved into an independent life form, it probably wouldn't forget him.
If I could bring it back to my side, coupled with the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul I'm about to acquire...
Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but clench his fists.
That's the evolved Golden Sacred Dragon!
Although it is only a young dragon now, with proper nurturing, it will surely have amazing growth potential in the future.
If I successfully fuse with the Clear Sky Hammer and combine it with the Martial Soul Theory I've researched over the years, I might actually have a chance to cultivate to the Titled Douluo!
At that time, with both the Golden Sacred Dragon and the Clear Sky Hammer at my disposal, would I still need to envy others?
Yu Xiaogang became more and more excited as he thought about it, and even forgot about the testing equipment on his body.
He quickly said to the staff member next to him, "Quick! Help me get these things down here! I'm in a hurry!"
The staff member looked somewhat embarrassed. "Mr. Yu Xiaogang, your examination isn't finished yet; we're about to begin the next stage..."
"Wait a minute! The experiment isn't going anywhere, my Sanpao are back!"
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly removed the testing devices from his body, and with the help of the staff, sat back in his wheelchair. He then rushed towards Dan Heng's location.
Seeing his excitement, Flender quickly followed.
He certainly knew how important Luo Sanpao was to Yu Xiaogang, after all, it was the Martial Soul that had accompanied his old friend for decades. Now that he suddenly saw Luo Sanpao reborn, it was not surprising that Yu Xiaogang would react this way.
" Sanpao! Sanpao!"
As Yu Xiaogang pushed the wheelchair, he waved happily to Xiaolong.
"Come here! It's me! It's Xiaogang! I can't believe you actually evolved successfully! Let me see you!"
Dan Heng heard someone call out to the little dragon on his arm and instinctively stopped in his tracks.
The little dragon that had been rubbing its head against Dan Heng finally noticed Yu Xiaogang approaching.
It raised its head and looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair.
Yu Xiaogang was even happier when he saw Xiaolong looking at him.
" Sanpao! You still remember me, right? Come here! We've finally met again!"
He stretched out his hands, waiting expectantly for Xiaolong to jump into his arms.
However, Xiaolong only stared at him for a moment before suddenly shrinking behind Dan Heng's arm.
Its little paws gripped Dan Heng's clothes tightly, and its tail followed suit, leaving only its head sticking out as it warily watched Yu Xiaogang approach.
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback.
" Sanpao? What's wrong? It's me, your former master Yu Xiaogang!"
When Xiaolong heard him still shouting, instead of coming closer, he bared his little teeth and grinned at him.
"Awoo!"
It let out an unhappy cry, then shrank its head behind Dan Heng.
Yu Xiaogang's smile froze.
"Ugh! You! Get away from me, you stink!"
