As the research chamber slowly opened, the white gas inside gradually dissipated, and Yu Xiaogang's figure finally appeared before everyone's eyes.
He was pale, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked very weak. However, his mental state was much better than before the experiment began.
" Xiaogang!"
Flender quickly stepped forward, reached out to support Yu Xiaogang's arm, and pulled the wheelchair over with his other hand.
" Xiaogang, come here, the wheelchair is here. You just finished an experiment, your body must not have recovered yet, sit down and rest for a while."
However, Yu Xiaogang did not sit down immediately. Instead, he looked down at his legs, a hint of doubt on his face.
"Wait, Boss Fu, help me up first."
Flender didn't understand, but still helped him up as he asked.
Yu Xiaogang gripped Flender's arms tightly with both hands and tentatively took a step forward with his right foot.
My feet landed firmly on the ground.
He hesitated for a moment, then tried to step out with his left foot.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Although he walked somewhat unsteadily, Yu Xiaogang did indeed stand up, and with Flender's support, he took several more steps.
"What... what's going on?"
Yu Xiaogang stared wide-eyed, looking down at his legs in disbelief.
He remembers clearly that he lost the ability to walk normally after his legs were broken. Even after receiving treatment, he was never fully recovered and could only move around in a wheelchair.
But now, he can actually walk again!
" Boss Fu! My leg! My leg is healed!"
Yu Xiaogang was so excited that he trembled all over and couldn't help but take a few more steps forward.
Flender was equally shocked and quickly helped his old friend, who almost fell, up. " Xiaogang, you can really walk? What happened? Wasn't it just a Martial Soul Fusion experiment?"
Hearing their questions, the researchers nearby glanced down at Yu Xiaogang's medical records and quickly found the cause.
"It must be the tissue repair technology used during the Martial Soul Fusion that's working. To allow the Man-made Martial Soul to successfully integrate with the body, we need to re-establish the Soul Power pathways and use a special biological repair fluid to repair the damaged meridians and nerve tissue."
The researchers retrieved the test results and continued, "This gentleman's legs had previously suffered severe damage, and some nerves and bones had not fully recovered. During the fusion of his Martial Soul, repair factors entered his body through the newly established Soul Power pathways, and the previously damaged tissues were repaired."
He then looked at Yu Xiaogang's legs and reminded him, "Based on the current information, your legs have regained normal mobility. However, since your body has just completed its repair process, it's best to avoid strenuous exercise."
Yu Xiaogang was no longer listening to what was being said next.
He kept looking down at his legs, then carefully took a few steps in place, his smile growing wider and wider.
"It's all done! It's really all done! Hahaha!"
He grabbed Flender's arm excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.
" Boss Fu, do you know what? I originally thought I would spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair and would never have the chance to walk like a normal person again! I never thought that I, Yu Xiaogang, would actually stand up again!"
Seeing his old friend's excited expression, Flender was also very happy.
After all, the two had known each other for many years, and he knew best how frustrated Yu Xiaogang had been these past few days. Now that his legs had finally recovered, it was something to celebrate.
However, despite his joy, Flender soon remembered something more important.
" Xiaogang, calm down! Have you forgotten something? You participated in the experiment just now, not specifically to treat your legs!"
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback.
Flender quickly reminded him, " Martial Soul! Quickly check if your Clear Sky Hammer has been successfully fused!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The Clear Sky Hammer!"
Yu Xiaogang immediately realized what was happening, quickly released Flender's arm, and looked down at his own hands.
He took a deep breath and tried to mobilize the faint Soul Power that had just formed within his body, using the same method he had used to summon Luo Sanpao.
The next moment, a faint black light emerged from his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, a small, jet-black hammer slowly materialized, with several thin arcs of blue-purple electricity Entanglement around its head.
"Sizzle..."
A faint crackling sound of electricity emanated from him, Yu Xiaogang could clearly feel a special connection between himself and the small hammer in his palm.
That is the connection between the Soul Master and the Martial Soul.
He had owned Luo Sanpao for decades and was all too familiar with this feeling.
This time, however, what appeared in his hand was no longer that pig that could only fart, but a real Clear Sky Hammer!
" Clear Sky Hammer..."
Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the small hammer in his palm, then suddenly looked up.
" Boss Fu! Look! It's the Clear Sky Hammer! It really is the Clear Sky Hammer!"
Flender leaned closer for a closer look and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"It really is! Although it looks a bit smaller and is crackling with lightning, it looks exactly like Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded excitedly, trying to hold the Clear Sky Hammer in his palm for as long as possible.
Unfortunately, he had only just obtained his Martial Soul and had hardly accumulated any Soul Power. He barely managed to maintain it for a moment before the Clear Sky Hammer began to become illusory and finally disappeared as black specks of light.
Yu Xiaogang, however, was not disappointed at all.
Because he knew that he had finally regained his Martial Soul!
And it's the Clear Sky Hammer that has appeared in my dreams countless times!
He looked down at his right hand, his smile growing increasingly exaggerated.
Back then, I awakened my Martial Soul at the age of six. I was supposed to inherit the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but because my Martial Soul Mutation into Luo Sanpao, I was regarded as a waste by the entire family.
For decades, he had been unable to break through level 29 and could only rely on studying Martial Soul Theory to try to prove his worth.
Later, even Luo Sanpao was separated, and he himself became an ordinary person without Martial Soul, unable to even walk normally.
But now, everything is different!
Not only did he stand up again, but he also obtained the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world!
As long as you work hard in your training, you will be able to regain your powerful strength sooner or later.
At that time, what expressions will those from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who once mocked him, and his father who always looked disappointed whenever he saw him, have?
Yu Xiaogang became more and more excited as he thought about it, and even began to imagine himself holding the Clear Sky Hammer, with nine Soul Ring rising from his feet, stepping back into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Those clansmen who once looked down on him could only look up at him, now that he had become Titled Douluo!
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! I, Yu Xiaogang, have wasted half my life, suffering the ridicule of the world, but today I have finally regained my Martial Soul!"
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a poor middle-aged man!"
"Those who once mocked me, just you wait! Now I, Yu Xiaogang, possess the Clear Sky Hammer. Once I cultivate to the Titled Douluo, let's see if you still dare to call me trash!"
"Hahaha! Prepare to welcome your king!"
The smile on his face froze as soon as he finished speaking.
Yu Xiaogang, who had been standing perfectly still, suddenly swayed twice, then his eyes rolled back.
"Thump!"
He collapsed to the ground.
" Xiaogang?!"
Flender was startled and quickly crouched down to support Yu Xiaogang, who had fallen to the ground.
" Xiaogang! What's wrong? Don't scare me! You were fine just now!"
Hearing the commotion, Tang San quickly ran over.
"Teacher!"
Several researchers quickly gathered around, one of them taking out testing equipment and beginning to examine Yu Xiaogang's physical condition.
Flender was sweating profusely with anxiety and hurriedly asked, "How is he? Did something go wrong with his Martial Soul Fusion? He was perfectly fine just now, how did he suddenly faint?"
The staff checked for a while, then shook their heads.
"He's alright, there were no problems with the Martial Soul Fusion, and his vital signs are stable."
Flender breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was still uneasy. "Then why did he suddenly faint?"
The researchers looked at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground, and then at the physical data they had just recorded.
"He had already undergone a high-intensity Martial Soul Fusion experiment, which greatly depleted his body. The sudden return to walking ability just now caused him to experience such intense emotional fluctuations, leading to his fainting from excessive excitement and fatigue."
As he spoke, he asked the staff next to him to bring a portable hospital bed.
"Let him rest for a while; he'll be fine once he recovers."
After hearing this, Flender was finally relieved and quickly helped the staff lift Yu Xiaogang onto the hospital bed.
Tang San stood to the side, looking at his unconscious teacher, but a hint of joy appeared on his face.
He was well aware of how much Yu Xiaogang had longed for a powerful Martial Soul over the years.
Now the teacher has finally obtained the Clear Sky Hammer, and even his legs have returned to normal. It can be said that his suffering has finally come to an end.
"Teacher, you finally succeeded!"
Tang San gently grasped Yu Xiaogang's hand and whispered, "From now on, no one will call you a good-for-nothing anymore. Your long-held wish finally has a chance to come true."
However, unlike Tang San's joy, the God King Tang San standing not far away was already gritting his teeth in anger.
He stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, who was being pushed away by the staff, his face frighteningly gloomy.
Damn it!
This piece of junk actually succeeded in fusing!
Who is Yu Xiaogang?
How could a useless person who can't even break through level 29 possess a top-tier Martial Soul like the Clear Sky Hammer?
What he found even more unacceptable was that the Clear Sky Hammer could actually be artificially manufactured and transplanted into people without the Clear Sky Sect bloodline.
Doesn't this mean that any ordinary person could potentially obtain the Clear Sky Hammer in the future?
Then what about their Clear Sky Sect's proudly inherited Martial Soul, which they've been so proud of for thousands of years?
The more God King Tang San thought about it, the angrier he became.
Unfortunately, he dared not stop Ruan Mei from continuing her experiments. He still vividly remembered the electric shocks he had been subjected to by the company.
He could only watch as Yu Xiaogang was pushed away, cursing inwardly.
That damn Yu Xiaogang!
Damn Interastral Peace Corporation!
How dare you desecrate the inherited Martial Soul of my Clear Sky Sect!
Meanwhile, far away in Spirit City, the Clear Sky Sect, which had been closed off for many years, also received a new intelligence report.
In the council hall of the Clear Sky Sect, Sect Master Tang Xiao was discussing sect affairs with several elders.
Since the Clear Sky Sect announced its closure, the sect has rarely contacted the outside world. However, there have been more and more events happening on the continent recently, especially the cooperation between the Spirit Hall and the Interastral Peace Corporation, which has already attracted the attention of the Clear Sky Sect's higher-ups.
Just as the group was talking, a sect disciple responsible for delivering intelligence rushed in.
"Report! To the Sect Master and Elders, our spies infiltrating Spirit City have sent back new information!"
Tang Xiao looked up, frowned, and asked, "What's the rush?"
The disciple quickly handed over the intelligence report.
"Our spies have discovered that the Spirit Hall is suspected of conducting an experiment to create an Artificial Martial Soul, and the Martial Soul they are researching is very likely the Clear Sky Hammer from our Clear Sky Sect!"
"What?"
Tang Xiao's expression changed, and he immediately took the intelligence and examined it carefully. The Seventh Elder also came over.
The intelligence report mentions that spies recently discovered that many people in Spirit City have signed up for a special experiment. According to information gathered, the Spirit Hall seems to be collaborating with the Interastral Peace Corporation to attempt to artificially create Martial Soul.
The Martial Soul that appeared in the experiment is said to be extremely similar to the Clear Sky Hammer.
However, the research base is heavily guarded, and spies cannot enter. The veracity of the information cannot be confirmed at this time.
" Artificial Martial Soul? Or the Clear Sky Hammer?"
The Seventh Elder suddenly stood up, snatched the intelligence from Tang Xiao's hand, and carefully read it twice, his expression growing increasingly grim.
The next moment, a surge of Soul Power at the level of Titled Douluo erupted from his body.
"Boom!"
The Seventh Elder slammed his palm down on the stone chair beneath him, leaving several deep handprints on the hard stone surface.
"Damn it! Spirit Hall!"
