"Uncle, have you forgotten about Martial Dao?" Yu Tianheng looked at Yu Xiaogang, his tone becoming more serious.
" Martial Dao?!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized, "Right, I forgot about that. Speaking of which, I owe my achievements today to you. Otherwise, I would still be a useless Soul Master, unable to break through the level 29 bottleneck in my entire life."
Yu Tianheng nodded. "As the saying goes, when God closes a door, He opens a window. Uncle, you have great wisdom, but unfortunately, your Martial Soul Awakening caused a mutation, resulting in poor cultivation talent. However, this is not your fault, but rather God's injustice. But after switching to Martial Dao, things have changed."
"In just over a decade, you've broken through from an ordinary person to the sixth level of Martial Dao, the Innate Realm. Your talent is truly exceptional. If you continue to cultivate diligently for several more decades, you will surely achieve great things in the future. At that time, you might not be weaker than Titled Douluo. Then, who can say that you're a piece of trash and have disgraced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"
"Past regrets caused by weakness can be made up for one by one with strength."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang smiled and nodded repeatedly, his eyes gleaming, but then he lowered his head in thought, as if recalling something.
His expression showed a mixture of resentment, determination, and even a hint of gritted teeth.
It's as if a young man, abandoned by his beloved woman in his early years due to poverty, finally becomes wealthy after years of hard work and wants to find the woman who abandoned him, to prove her wrong, and to finally get his revenge.
Upon seeing this, Yu Tianheng knew that Yu Xiaogang's expression likely meant he was thinking of his first love, Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.
In the original storyline, Yu Xiaogang was still a useless Soul Master with Soul Power level below 30 at this time, and his second love affair was also a devastating blow, leaving him heartbroken and unable to think about certain things.
However, Yu Xiaogang, now taught Martial Dao by Yu Tianheng, has made rapid progress in his cultivation under the blessing of powerful techniques and various rare and precious materials and elixirs. He is now at the fifth level of the Innate Realm, corresponding to a level 65 Soul Master, but his true combat strength is equivalent to a Seven-Ring Soul Sage.
Although he is quite old, nearly fifty, martial artists who enter the Innate Realm undergo Marrow Cleansing and tendon transformation, giving birth to Innate Qi within their bodies. Their blood and energy are extremely abundant, and their lifespan can reach 150 years. Therefore, Yu Xiaogang looks no more than thirty years old now, still young at heart.
Furthermore, this ability can be maintained for a long time as one's Martial Dao level improves.
As a result, Yu Xiaogang now dares to think about things he never dared to imagine before, and even dares to put them into practice.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng leaned close to Yu Xiaogang's ear and whispered, "Uncle, when I was little, I heard that you and Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, had a close relationship. Rumor has it that you were lovers. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't deny it, nodding in acknowledgment. "That's right, it did happen, but you know the final result, we broke up. In the end, it all came down to the same reason: not enough strength. And she was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall back then, with exceptional talent, and facts have proven that to be true. Otherwise, she wouldn't be the Pope now. If she had really been with me back then, it would have been harming her!"
"Now that so many years have passed, I've come to terms with it."
At this point, Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Tianheng and smiled slightly, "It's quite a twist of fate. If I had had your powerful cultivation talent back then, I would have won Bibi Dong over long ago."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng remained silent without speaking.
He knew that Yu Xiaogang's words were false; in reality, he still deeply loved Bibi Dong, and his words of relief were just empty talk.
As for the reason why Bibi Dong broke up with him, it wasn't Bibi Dong felt that Yu Xiaogang's cultivation talent was too poor and he wasn't good enough for her.
But that's not actually the case. Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang broke up because of the interference from Bibi Dong's teacher, Qian Xunji.
In order to bear him an outstanding offspring, Qian Xunji harbored evil intentions towards Bibi Dong Bibi Dong. He not only imprisoned Bibi Dong and forcibly took her, but also threatened Yu Xiaogang's life, saying that if Bibi Dong did not break up with Yu Xiaogang, he would ensure that Yu Xiaogang and his family would be wiped out.
To protect Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong had no choice but to painfully propose breaking up. In addition, Bibi Dong felt that she was no longer worthy of Yu Xiaogang after being defiled, which was also one of the reasons she chose to break up.
In a way, Bibi Dong was also a pitiful person, and this incident was the reason why she later turned to the dark side.
However, Yu Tianheng did not intend to tell Yu Xiaogang the truth, fearing that he would not be able to accept it.
Let's talk about it later.
After a moment of silence, Yu Tianheng asked, "Uncle, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament is in a month, and I will be participating. My Imperial Fighting Team represents the Heaven Dou Empire and is incredibly strong. If all goes well, we will make it to the finals and then travel to the Spirit Hall city, Spirit City, for the final battle. Why don't you come with me?"
"In that case, you'll have a chance to enter Spirit City, step into the Spirit Hall, and have a good talk with the Pope. Maybe there'll be a chance to salvage the situation. Even if not, at least you can hold your head high in front of the woman you love and prove yourself again. Don't you think so?"
"Right!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded emphatically. "What you say makes sense. Over the years, I have been practicing Martial Dao day and night to prove that I am not a good-for-nothing. I want to prove myself to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even more so to her. I am fully qualified to be worthy of her."
"Once Erlong has absorbed his Soul Ring, I'll go back to Heaven Dou City with you."
Yu Xiaogang made up his mind.
Yu Tianheng expressed his support, while also feeling overjoyed.
In the original storyline, Bibi Dong was the biggest villain and the strongest villain.
She is the opposite of the protagonist Tang San. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong is in long-term conflict with the Shrek Seven Devils led by the protagonist Tang San in order to control the Soul Master of the Douluo Continent and establish a new order.
She sent people to ambush Tang San Tang San friends on their way to the Elite Tournament. Later, she even forced Tang San's friends Da Ming and Er Ming to their deaths, leading to Xiao Wu's sacrifice.
In order to expand the power of the Spirit Hall and consolidate her rule, Bibi Dong ordered the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, causing these Soul Grandmaster families to suffer a devastating disaster and the deaths of many innocent clansmen.
To achieve the goal of unifying the continent, they will stop at nothing.
But in the end, it still failed.
To be honest, it's very difficult to change the fate of the character Bibi Dong!
Because Bibi Dong is a determined person with ruthless methods, she never looks back once she has made up her mind. As a result, even if she doesn't confront Tang San in the future, she will have to confront others who try to stop her from unifying the continent, such as herself.
