Chapter 38: Grandmaster: Luo San Pao Must Be a pig-type martial soul!
The night passed quickly.
The next day arrived, and the higher-ups of various forces across the Douluo Continent finished handling their affairs early in the morning.
Having completed these tasks, most people contentedly picked up their teacups and waited quietly for the moment the heavenly curtain would open.
Soon, the time when the heavenly curtain had begun its broadcast yesterday arrived, and it finally showed some movement.
[Dual Douluo Comparison, now continuing the broadcast.]
[Subject of broadcast: Black World Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang.] (Henceforth, the Grandmaster's name will be changed to Yu Xiaogang to distinguish him from the protagonist.)
Seeing the images of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang about to be broadcast on the heavenly curtain, most people showed expressions of dissatisfaction.
"Why broadcast some 'Grandmaster'? Is he even worthy of being on the heavenly curtain? It would be better to just broadcast the experiences of that Dragon God Douluo."
"Exactly. What's there to see about a Rank 29 trash? We want to see how that Dragon God Douluo defied his fate."
"Just from what was broadcast yesterday, you can see how huge the gap between the two is, and this gap will only continue to widen."
"I really feel bad for Thunder Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Having a son like this, he might as well have just given birth to a piece of cured meat."
"One can only say that Thunder Douluo probably threw the baby away and raised the placenta instead."
"..."
Before the heavenly curtain even began its broadcast, people from all over started protesting.
Unfortunately, the heavenly curtain did not accept complaints. The scene shifted, and the images appeared.
[Yu Xiaogang's spirit power reached Rank 10.]
[Fifteen years old, Rank 10.]
[If Yu Xiaogang were a commoner with no background and an Innate spirit power of half a Rank, reaching this level at fifteen would definitely be something to celebrate.]
[But Yu Xiaogang was no commoner; he also utilized the cultivation resources of his father, the Titled Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.]
[One can only say that such was Yu Xiaogang's talent.]
[Having finally reached Rank 10, it was time to obtain his first spirit ring.]
[According to Yu Yuanzhen's initial thoughts, although Yu Xiaogang's talent was poor, his Spirit was very special.]
[A Separate Beast Spirit and the power displayed during its Awakening—all of these proved that this Spirit, named Luo San Pao by Yu Xiaogang, was extraordinary.]
[Therefore, he did not hesitate to give his cultivation resources to Yu Xiaogang, wanting to force his growth to prove all this.]
[In this process, obtaining spirit rings was the most crucial step.]
[According to Yu Yuanzhen's plan, he wanted to attach a dragon-type Soul Beast's spirit ring to Yu Xiaogang's Spirit.]
[After all, his own Spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon; no matter how Yu Xiaogang's Spirit mutated, it couldn't be completely unrelated to dragons.]
[However, on this matter, Yu Xiaogang had his own ideas.]
["What did you say? You want a pig-type Soul Beast's spirit ring?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief; he truly couldn't understand why Yu Xiaogang would have such an idea.]
["That's right, a pig-type Soul Beast's spirit ring."]
["From Luo San Pao' appearance, it's clearly a pig-type martial soul."]
["Attaching a pig-type Soul Beast's spirit ring to it is what suits it best."]
[Yu Xiaogang said, holding a thick illustrated book.]
[In the years before reaching Rank 10, Yu Xiaogang had been researching Spirits, spirit rings, and Spirit Beasts.]
[Thus, he was now confident that his knowledge of Spirits had surpassed many people.]
[Initially, when researching things like Spirits and spirit rings, Yu Xiaogang felt very depressed.]
[After all, the Family's inherited Spirit was a dragon, while his own was a pig; the difference was so great that he found it unacceptable.]
[However, as he researched pig-type Soul Beasts, Yu Xiaogang gradually began to grow excited.]
[Because he discovered that pig-type Soul Beasts were not as weak as he had imagined.]
[In many Spirit Beast forests, generally speaking, what is the most feared Spirit Beast?]
[Is it large Spirit Beasts like tigers, lions, or bears?]
[Or hidden hunters like venomous snakes, scorpions, or spiders?]
[Or perhaps rare but exceptionally powerful beings like jiao-dragons or true dragons?]
[None of the above. In many Spirit Beast forests, the most feared Spirit Beasts are often pig-type Soul Beasts!]
[Yu Xiaogang had seen a report stating that in the annual spirit hunts across major Spirit Beast forests, the number of Spirit Masters who died at the hands of pig-type Soul Beasts was often the highest.]
[Seeing this information, Yu Xiaogang was ecstatic.]
[Since pig-type Soul Beasts were so powerful, wouldn't he, who possessed the pig-type martial soul Luo San Pao, have a promising future?]
[Thus, Yu Xiaogang conducted deep research into pig-type Soul Beasts and selected an ideal Spirit Beast for himself.]
["Thunder Fanged Pig—this is what I've chosen for my first spirit ring."]
["It fits Luo San Pao' species, and since your Spirit is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Father, I believe Luo San Pao must have a thunder attribute."]
["Furthermore, I've looked at a lot of data on Spirit Masters who obtained the Thunder Fanged Pig as their first spirit ring; the Spirit Abilitys they gained were all quite good."]
["Their early-stage combat power is very strong!"]
[Yu Xiaogang confidently told his father about his chosen Spirit Beast, waiting for the other to praise him.]
[Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang waited for a long time without receiving any praise from Yu Yuanzhen.]
[He looked at Yu Yuanzhen with some confusion, only to see the other staring at the data he provided with a deep frown.]
["Xiao Gang, I still feel it would be safer for you to choose a dragon-type Soul Beast for your first spirit ring."]
["The difference between a pig and a dragon is too great. Are you really sure your Spirit is definitely a pig?"]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Xiaogang summoned Luo San Pao.]
[Looking at this Spirit that had caused him to be ridiculed for so many years, Yu Xiaogang gave a cold snort:]
["Father, you've always felt Luo San Pao is a dragon, but where does it show even a single dragon trait?"]
["On the other hand, it has traits similar to a pig: its cry, those big ears, and its body shape."]
["With these characteristics as evidence, how can you have the nerve to say it's a dragon, Father?"]
[Watching Luo San Pao waddle around on the ground, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but clench his fists.]
[If possible, Yu Xiaogang also wanted Luo San Pao to be a dragon, but all its traits told him that Luo San Pao was not a dragon, but a pig.]
["...Even so, adding a dragon-type Soul Beast's spirit ring to a pig-type martial soul should be fine, right?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen wanted to persuade Yu Xiaogang further; he once again recalled the moment of Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Awakening.]
[That roar... he just didn't think it could have come from a pig.]
["Father, the Thunder Fanged Pig is the Spirit Beast I've finally selected after years of thought and research."]
["I believe my choice definitely won't be wrong."]
[Yu Xiaogang looked directly at Yu Yuanzhen, his gaze showing no intention of backing down.]
[He had already set his mind on his choice for the first spirit ring, and no matter how others tried to persuade him, he would not change it.]
