Chapter 2: Uncle and Nephew Both Possess the Luo Sanpao Martial Soul, Yet Their Fates Are Completely Different; Yu Xiaogang's Secrets Have Been Exposed!
"My God, There's a Reward for Making the List?"
Oscar couldn't help but exclaim.
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone brightly as she proudly puffed out her chest:
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will definitely make the list!"
"Hmph, my Evil Eye White Tiger Martial Soul isn't bad either!"
Dai Mubai was full of fighting spirit.
At the same time, across the continent, the winds of change were blowing.
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen stood with his hands behind his back atop Dragon Head Peak, gazing at the sky, and let out a domineering laugh:
"Hahaha!
The Heavenly Dao's assessment?
Good!
Let the world see why my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is the number one beast martial soul!"
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Ning Fengzhi stood side by side with Sword and Bone Douluo.
Ning Fengzhi's expression was solemn:
"A storm begins with a ripple; the landscape of the continent is about to change."
In the Spirit Hall, Pope Bibi Dong sat on her throne, a cold glint in her beautiful eyes:
"Heavenly Dao? Playing tricks!
But I'll see whether your assessment is more authoritative, or my future Rakshasa Godhood!"
Despite her words, Bibi Dong still held a hint of anticipation.
After all, her twin spirits, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor and the Death Spider Emperor, were undoubtedly top-tier spirits.
Deep within the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly piercing through the temple's dome, murmuring:
"The Six-Winged Angel, a divine spirit, should be number one."
Far away, in the depths of the ocean, on Seagod Island,
High Priestess Poseidon held her scepter, her long, sea-blue hair moving without wind.
Feeling the pulsation of the Seagod's divine power, Poseidon softly said:
"Is it power surpassing even the gods?"
Just as the entire Douluo Continent was abuzz with excitement over this "celestial curtain" descending from the sky...
Sun Moon Continent, the Bright Empire.
Yu Jingcheng, atop the Holy Light Peak, also saw this golden list stretching across the sky.
Yu Jingcheng's composure and anticipation froze instantly, replaced by a helpless, almost laughable expression.
"I... I'm almost finished condensing my divine position, just one step away, and you give me this?"
He stared at the words "[Top Ten Martial Souls]" on the sky, a feeling of utter absurdity and complexity welling up inside him.
Sixty years ago, his family had condemned him to a bleak future and considered him a disgrace because his martial soul was "Luo Sanpao."
Sixty years later, he had evolved "Luo Sanpao" into "Light Dragon King," about to create his own divine position and shine through the ages.
And now, a being calling himself "Heavenly Dao" was coming to take stock of all the martial souls in the world.
"My Light Dragon King should be on the list, right?"
Yu Jingcheng stroked his chin, then frowned.
"But... its origin is, after all, Luo Sanpao.
This sky won't expose all my secrets, will it?"
He thought of that round, golden pig that attacked with farts.
Comparing this to his current, glorious image as the Light Dragon King, even with his demigod-like composure, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
If this were to be revealed in front of the entire Douluo Continent, especially the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan… the scene was unimaginable!
Just as Yu Jingcheng was experiencing a mix of emotions, golden light shone brightly once more across the skies of Douluo Continent and Sun Moon Continent!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the first line of the list slowly revealed several magnificent ancient characters—
[Tenth Place: ...]
Above the sky, golden light flowed, and behind the three large characters "[Tenth Place]",
line after line of new information, as if written by an invisible hand, was clearly imprinted deep within the souls of everyone.
However, before the official announcement of the martial souls, a dignified and indifferent narration resounded throughout the heavens and earth, setting the tone for this review.
[Review Notes: The strength of a martial soul does not only stem from its innate inheritance, but also from the will and opportunities of the soul master.]
[Martial souls of the same origin can vary greatly in quality due to differences in the soul master's talent and temperament.]
[For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul's orthodox evolutionary path is the Golden Sacred Dragon.]
However, if the soul master's talent is insufficient, their will is weak, and they cannot provide the foundation needed for the martial soul's evolution, it will backfire, dragging down the martial soul, causing it to mutate malignantly and become a lowly and worthless pig—Luo Sanpao.] These words, like a thunderbolt from the heavens, struck Shrek Academy's playground with perfect precision!
Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale, his body trembling violently.
"Pig... Pig? Luo Sanpao?"
His lifelong pride in his martial soul theory, the countless excuses he had made for his martial soul's mutation, were ruthlessly torn apart by the Heavenly Curtain at this moment, exposed nakedly to the world!
It wasn't some uncontrollable malignant mutation after all!
It was... my talent wasn't enough? My willpower wasn't strong enough?
It was me who dragged down the martial soul that should have evolved into the Golden Sacred Dragon?!
"No... Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Yu Xiaogang roared in a frenzy, his eyes behind his glasses bloodshot, filled with madness and disbelief.
Tang San, Dai Mubai, and the others stared in astonishment at the seemingly crazed Grandmaster; they had never seen him so out of control.
The Heavenly Curtain's narration, however, showed no sign of stopping, continuing to pronounce Yu Xiaogang's "crimes" in that emotionless tone.
[Soul Master Yu Jingcheng, spurred by shame, persevered despite his mutated spirit, never abandoning his lofty ambitions. He left his sect to seek unparalleled opportunities, ultimately transforming his pig-like body into the Light Dragon King—a superior choice.]
[Soul Master Yu Xiaogang, self-destructive, became disheartened after his spirit mutated, abandoning all ambition and seeking a different path]
[He stole texts from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the Spirit Hall's library, piecing them together and mixing in his own ideas, falsely claiming to have created his own spirit theory, misleading others—a truly inferior choice.]
Boom!
If the previous words were a thunderclap, this next statement plunged Yu Xiaogang into the deepest abyss!
His last shred of pride, his spirit theory, was publicly exposed by Tianmu, denounced as "theft," "piecing together," and "mixing in his own ideas"!
"Pfft—"
A mouthful of blood spurted from Yu Xiaogang's mouth. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed backward, overcome by a sudden surge of anger!
"Teacher!"
Tang San's expression changed drastically. He rushed forward and quickly caught him.
At this moment, throughout the entire Douluo Continent, everyone who had heard of the name "Grandmaster" was in an uproar!
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"What?
Xiaogang's martial soul mutation was caused by this?"
Yu Yuanzhen's tiger eyes widened, filled with shock and realization.
He had always thought it was just bad luck for Xiaogang, but he never expected it to be due to his talent and temperament.
When he heard "Yu Jingcheng" and "Light Dragon King," he was even more shaken, his eyes filled with unbelievable joy and complex emotions!
"My third brother... Jingcheng... he... he succeeded? He really... evolved Luo Sanpao?!"
Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu's lips curled into a cold, mocking smile:
"Yu Xiaogang, a piece of trash is a piece of trash. Even his so-called theories are stolen.
Ji'er, if it weren't for this Yu Xiaogang, would you have perished at the hands of a woman?"
