Chapter 189: Could it be that Luo Sanpao is not a pig, but a dragon pig?
Yu Xiaogang took the two jade bottles handed to him by his subordinate, turned, and left without the slightest hesitation.
Qian Daoliu watched his retreating figure, a cold sneer playing on his lips. "Even if his soul power increases, what kind of waves can he stir up? A good-for-nothing is still a good-for-nothing! However, this Dragon Transformation Secret Method might allow Spirit Hall's combat power to reach another level."
He immediately summoned an Elder. "Take this secret method and analyze it. Try to apply it to other Beast Martial Souls."
Yu Xiaogang, having left the Supreme Pontiff Palace, quickly entered a hotel facing the street, booked a high-class room, closed the doors and windows tightly, and immediately took out the two Foundation Establishment Pills, swallowing them all without hesitation.
The medicinal pills melted upon entering his mouth, and two streams of warm energy flowed down his throat into his Dantian.
Yu Xiaogang sat cross-legged, circulating his soul power to guide the energy flow.
Half an hour later, black grime seeped from the surface of his skin, emitting a foul, fishy odor.
"Ugh—"
Yu Xiaogang let out a muffled groan. His soul power surged like boiling water within him; he could clearly feel the Bottleneck that had held him at level twenty-nine for many years loosening.
Another hour passed, and no more grime was expelled; his internal soul power stabilized.
Yu Xiaogang looked within himself, his face revealing ecstasy: "Rank thirty! After so many years, I've finally broken through to rank thirty!"
He tried circulating his soul power and found that its flow rate was several times faster than before.
What shocked him even more was that when he summoned Luo Sanpao, he discovered that a layer of dragon scales had grown on Luo Sanpao's body!
"Are these... dragon scales?"
Yu Xiaogang stroked the scales, a storm raging in his heart. "Could it be that Luo Sanpao isn't a pig, but a dragon pig?"
"Yes, it must be like this!"
"After all, I also have the bloodline of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan flowing in me. Even if Luo Sanpao isn't a dragon, it must have the bloodline of a dragon within it!"
"Although it looks like a pig, it's still a dragon! This way, I'm not a good-for-nothing anymore! Hahaha!"
Yu Xiaogang acted as if he were insane; he was too happy at this moment.
Subsequently, he checked the changes in his innate soul power. Calculating based on the fullness of the energy in his body, the first medicinal pill raised his innate soul power from half a level to two and a half levels, and the second raised it to four levels! Although it was not yet top-tier, it was enough!
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming.
Years of suppression were released in an instant, and he seemed to see new hope.
What he didn't know was that Qian Daoliu was monitoring his every move through an informant hidden in the hotel.
"Innate soul power at rank four, soul power at rank thirty, and it even grew dragon scales?"
Qian Daoliu listened to his subordinate's report, lightly stroking his beard. "Interesting, keep an eye on him."
Qian Daoliu was also somewhat surprised by the change in Yu Xiaogang's martial soul; it seemed that this Luo Sanpao martial soul was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Its internal bloodline was probably extraordinary.
Qian Daoliu was not so naive as Yu Xiaogang; this Luo Sanpao clearly showed signs of transforming into a dragon, not the so-called dragon pig.
However, what Luo Sanpao would become in the future still needed observation.
But with Yu Xiaogang's intelligence, would the Luo Sanpao martial soul not be ruined by then?
He had also heard about Luo Sanpao's soul skills; both involved farting, but the smell of the farts differed, hence their different effects.
As a martial soul with intelligence, it was actually fed white radishes that made it fart.
If it were him, he would feed it large amounts of dragon meat!
After all, according to Martial Soul Legacy, no matter how much a Martial Soul mutates, it would inevitably possess the bloodline characteristics of the previous generation.
It was impossible for it to directly change species—from a dragon to a pig.
Dragons are carnivores, but pigs are omnivores. Yu Xiaogang, for convenience, even fed it only vegetables; how could that work?
However, Yu Xiaogang was not a person of Spirit Hall, so he did not need to be reminded; it was better to just wait and see.
It was just a pity for such a martial soul.
Hmph, the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are also a bunch of good-for-nothings. This is the first instance of an intelligent beast martial soul in Douluo history, yet they don't know how to properly research it, letting Yu Xiaogang mess around by himself.
Suddenly, Qian Daoliu thought of something: could the Golden Holy Dragon formed by the Golden Iron Triangle have some inevitable connection with this Luo Sanpao?
The Golden Iron Triangle was the first instance of a three-in-one martial soul fusion, so he had paid some attention to it.
It was said that the Golden Holy Dragon was formed by using Luo Sanpao as a host, fusing Liu Erlong's and Flender's Fire Dragon martial soul and Owl martial soul.
This made the Golden Holy Dragon, like the martial soul true body of other beast martial souls, possess a true physical form rather than an energy body condensed from energy.
Could it be...
Qian Daoliu had a bold conjecture in his heart—one he himself found somewhat unbelievable.
If Luo Sanpao could truly grow into a Golden Holy Dragon in the future, then Yu Xiaogang couldn't even be called a good-for-nothing.
Calling him a good-for-nothing would be an overestimate!
A good-for-nothing is at least truly useless, but he has such a growth-type martial soul, and his family is not bad. Yet he could still mess it up—that can no longer be called a good-for-nothing.
Worse than useless!
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang had already packed his luggage and left the hotel.
He did not immediately leave Spirit City but found a secluded corner and began to try to circulate the Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
But he did not succeed. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't obtained the third soul ring yet, or if Luo Sanpao simply couldn't allow him to use the Dragon Transformation Secret Method.
Mixed feelings of joy and worry.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to return to his family first.
Only under the guidance of his family could he obtain a decent third soul ring.
But this time returning, what excuse should he use to explain how he broke through the twenty-ninth-level bottleneck?
Alas...
Meanwhile, Hu Bai and the others, returning to Spirit City, received news of Yu Xiaogang's visit as soon as they entered the city gates.
Bibi Dong listened to her subordinate's report, her brows slightly furrowed. "Yu Xiaogang actually exchanged the Dragon Transformation Secret Method for Foundation Establishment Pills?"
Hu Bai and a few others were nearby, and Bibi Dong asked: "So, what was the result?"
"Reporting, Your Majesty, Yu Xiaogang consumed two Foundation Establishment Pills at once, and his martial soul actually grew dragon scales."
"Dragon scales?"
Bibi Dong was slightly startled. "It seems Yu Xiaogang's martial soul is indeed not simple; its form changed as soon as his innate soul power increased."
"Alright, then, follow the High Priest's instructions. Send a few people to keep an eye on Yu Xiaogang and see how his martial soul changes in the future."
Bibi Dong issued the order, with no trace of lingering affection for Yu Xiaogang in her expression. She was just a little curious.
If Yu Xiaogang had started with innate full soul power, would Luo Sanpao have transformed into a dragon?
However, for Yu Xiaogang, who had been vigorously cultivated with resources since childhood, his innate soul power was surprisingly only half a level—that was quite unexpected.
One must know that this so-called half-level soul power was still due to his own development; his innate soul power could be said to be the lowest in his family!
If he didn't say half a level, wouldn't he have to say zero innate soul power? That would truly be a laughing stock.
