Chapter 243. My Martial Spirit is the Golden Holy Dragon.
After completing the task of reclaiming Elemental City, Guimei and An Zhongdao were about to leave when Chen Xin suddenly said,
"Wait a minute."
Guimei smiled, "Chen Xin, what can I do for you?"
Chen Xin looked at the woman next to Guimei with a burning gaze and said, "Senior, I'd like to learn some swordsmanship from you."
Although anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the woman was younger than him, the path of swordsmanship always prioritizes the most accomplished.
An Zhongdao glanced at Chen Xin and said, "Okay, but can you afford the price?"
"What's the price?" Chen Xin asked.
"Your arm," An Zhongdao said.
At this moment, Chen Xin hesitated. Ning Fengzhi grabbed Chen Xin's hand and shook his head.
"If you can't even afford this price, then there's no point in talking." An Zhongdao turned and left.
Chen Xin looked at his undamaged hands and sighed with regret.
Element City surrendered to the Spirit Hall, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's leader, Yu Yuanzhen, fell. Immediately afterwards, a struggle for control erupted within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. Yu Luomian emerged as a rising star, ascending to the position of leader as a newly promoted Titled Douluo. His Titled Douluo prowess temporarily secured the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's position as one of the top three sects.
However, the position of this Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan leader was somewhat peculiar.
This incident sent shockwaves through the continent, and soon, nearly everyone knew about it.
When Yu Xiaogang learned that his Tyrannosaurus had been bisected, his eyes blazed red, he screamed, and collapsed unconscious.
After a long time, he finally regained consciousness. Beside his bed, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who was tending to him. He took Tang San's hand and said, "Xiao San, when you achieve success in your career, don't forget to help me avenge my master."
Tang San said firmly, "Yes, Master."
Just then, someone outside walked in and said, "Mr. Yu Xiaogang, this is Ju Douluo, the Spirit Hall's emissary. Why don't you come and greet him?" Yu Xiaogang's face sullenly clung to the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall had killed his father, and now they were coming after him again—this was simply too much.
But seeing Tang San by his side, Yu Xiaogang could only endure it in order not to offend the Spirit Hall.
He sat up from the bed and walked into the hall.
Yue Guan glanced at Yu Xiaogang and said, "We are the Pope's wedding, and we invite you to attend."
"Wedding?" Yu Xiaogang took the invitation and glanced at it, his lungs surging with rage.
Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji getting married?
Bibi Dong, once his lover, was now married to Qian Xunji. Yu Xiaogang felt as if spring had returned to his head, the season of grass growing.
"Can I not go?" Yu Xiaogang said hoarsely.
"Of course you can," Yue Guan said with a smile.
Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly heard Yue Guan's voice, forced into a line, reach into his ears:
"Hehehe, you can not go, but think carefully. Our Pope knows that your good disciple Tang San has twin spirits and is Tang Hao's son. Yu Xiaogang, you don't want your talented disciple, whom you have worked so hard to subdue, to suffer a minor accident, do you?"
Yu Xiaogang's face froze. After a moment, Yu Xiaogang said, "I will go."
"That's very good," Yue Guan said, and left.
At this moment, Tang San came out and asked in confusion, "Why, Teacher, did you agree to this?"
Yu Xiaogang gave Tang San a deep look and said, "Xiao San, for you, Teacher, I will endure any grievance and hardship."
"Teacher," Tang San suddenly understood, and clenched his fists.
Spirit Hall, how dare you threaten my teacher? I was able to destroy you in my last life, and Tang San can do the same in this one.
On this day, the Spirit Hall was festooned with lights and decorations. It was the Spirit Hall's grand wedding day, and Bibi Dong married Qian Xunji.
Logically, their relationship was that of master and disciple, and marriage was bound to attract gossip. However, in this world, as long as you have power and strength, who dares to speak ill of you?
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the two great empires, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect—all of them came rushing over to congratulate you.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, his heart burning with anger, and he uttered a blessing with a sour taste: "Dong'er, congratulations, you are getting married to your teacher." Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang and sneered in return: "Yes, at least my teacher dares to love and hate, unlike you. Liu Erlong loves you so much, but you have concerns because of the relationship between siblings. Yu Xiaogang, in your heart, your reputation, your interests, and yourself are always the first priority."
"You are talking nonsense." Yu Xiaogang said angrily: "I love Erlong, but if not..."
"Well-" Yu Xiaogang was glared at by Qian Xunji before he finished speaking, and was so scared that he dared not to say anything else.
The next day after Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong's wedding, Yu Xiaogang was still drinking in the Spirit Hall. Liu Erlong, now a Soul Douluo, contacted Yu Xiaogang and said, "Xiaogang, can you come see me?"
Hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Xiaogang stood up and followed her instructions to a flower bed.
Seeing the woman in the flower bed, Yu Xiaogang's pupils trembled slightly. He said, "Erlong."
Liu Erlong turned, looked at Yu Xiaogang, and said affectionately, "Xiaogang."
"Erlong, what brings you here?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
"I want to see you, is that not possible?" Liu Erlong said, "Yu Xiaogang, take me now. After all, I'm living a life worse than death here. Just seeing you is the greatest luxury I have in my life."
"If I can have your child, that would be great. It would make Qianxunji mad."
Yu Xiaogang's heart was moved. In the past, Yu Xiaogang would never touch Liu Erlong because she was his sister. But after being cheated on twice by Qianxunji, Yu Xiaogang's mentality had long been twisted. Since Liu Erlong was already married to Qianxunji, she was Qianxunji's woman. If he took Liu Erlong, wouldn't he be cheating on Qianxunji in return?
So, the two of them slowly approached, and then...
"You're quite brave, Liu Erlong, to dare to cuckold this emperor," Qianxunji said with a sneer, holding Liu Erlong in one hand and Yu Xiaogang in the other.
"Qianxunji, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, but why torture us like this?" At this point, Liu Erlong was too lazy to pretend. She said, "Is this fun? I will only love Yu Xiaogang forever. You can get my body, but you will never get my heart."
"How many times have I told you this? Why would I need your heart?" Qian Xunji said with a disdainful curl of his lips.
Qian Xunji stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Yu Xiaogang, doing this is a capital crime. But if I want you to live, you live. If I want you to die, you die. I don't want to kill you. Seeing how sincere your feelings are, I will grant your union, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong."
"You, what do you want to say?" Yu Xiaogang asked, puzzled.
"I'll give you two choices." Qian Xunji put Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong down and said,
"The first choice is that I divorce Liu Erlong, give her to you, and officiate your wedding."
Liu Erlong was instantly excited upon hearing this. She looked at Yu Xiaogang with anticipation.
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, was filled with resistance.
Liu Erlong had been married to Qian Xunji for over a decade. When she was his concubine, Yu Xiaogang had been quite willing to have sex with her and cuckold Qian Xunji.
But if Qian Xunji divorced Liu Erlong and gave her to Yu Xiaogang, wouldn't that mean Yu Xiaogang had picked up a pair of worn-out shoes that someone else had worn for over a decade?
That was absolutely impossible.
"What about the second option?" Qian Xunji flipped his hand, and a Golden Dragon Fruit appeared in his hand. When Yu Xiaogang saw the Golden Dragon Fruit, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at it intently.
This was a longing deep within his spirit.
"I'm sure you know that your spirit was supposed to evolve into a Golden Holy Dragon, but it regressed to Luo Sanpao. This is the Golden Dragon Fruit. If you consume it, your spirit will instantly evolve into a Golden Holy Dragon, eliminating the need for spirit fusion techniques."
Yu Xiaogang's breathing quickened at Qian Xunji's words.
Back then, if he had possessed the Golden Holy Dragon spirit, why would he have bothered to pursue the theoretical path of a Spirit Master? Wouldn't it have been better to just cultivate to the title and then show off?
"Of course, the price is that you have to give up Liu Erlong."
"How do I know you mean what you say?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
"As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, I don't have the time to deceive a little ant like you. I might as well just crush you to death with one hand, isn't it?" Qian Xunji said.
Although the truth hurt, it was true. At this point, Yu Xiaogang could only believe it.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang with a conflicted look. On the one hand, she hoped Yu Xiaogang would choose the first option, but on the other, she was afraid that choosing the first option would ruin his future.
As Liu Erlong was agonizing, a voice like thunder struck her eardrums.
"Then I choose the second option," Yu Xiaogang said without hesitation.
Liu Erlong's heart shattered like glass. She had hoped Yu Xiaogang would choose the second option for his own future, but she had never expected Yu Xiaogang to be so decisive, without a trace of hesitation.
In other words, she was nothing compared to her and Xiaogang's future. After choosing the second option, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Liu Erlong guiltily, then quickly averted his gaze. His eyes blazed over the Golden Dragon Fruit in Qian Xunji's hand, and he demanded, "You must keep your word."
Qian Xunji chuckled and said, "Here."
He casually tossed the Golden Dragon Fruit directly to Yu Xiaogang, who devoured it in two or three bites without hesitation.
The next moment, a golden holy light erupted from Yu Xiaogang's body.
A dragon's roar echoed throughout the Spirit Hall, and Luo Sanpao flew out of Yu Xiaogang's body. Immediately, his body expanded, wings sprouted from his back, and his claws tore through Luo Sanpao's skin. A golden holy dragon appeared before Liu Erlong and Qian Xunji with unparalleled dominance.
A tear flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes. The golden holy dragon had reappeared, but it was the price Yu Xiaogang had chosen to abandon her.
Her heart ached, aching deeply. The man she had loved for so many years, only to be abandoned like that.
"Hahahahaha, my spirit is the Golden Holy Dragon, the Golden Holy Dragon! Is this the power of the Golden Holy Dragon? Amazing, sbarasi!" Yu Xiaogang laughed maniacally. Level 36 spirit power, the Golden Holy Dragon spirit.
Although he was past the prime cultivation age, the confidence of his super spirit gave Yu Xiaogang the assurance that he could ascend to Titled Douluo within his lifetime.
He was no longer that useless Xiaogang. He would become the future of Douluo Continent, the Golden, no, Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang!
When that time came, when the master and disciple reached mastery, it would be the end of the Spirit Hall.
While Yu Xiaogang reveled in the power of his super spirit, daydreaming of becoming the Dragon God Douluo, Qian Xunji looked at him as if he were an idiot. Then, he pulled out two cards.
Spirit Replacement Card, Domestic Pig Spirit Card!
With the Spirit Replacement Card, the designated target, Yu Xiaogang, would be replaced with the family spirit!
As soon as the card activated, Yu Xiaogang, still brimming with joy, felt his boundless Golden Holy Dragon suddenly being pulled by a mysterious force of rules, ripping it from his body.
Yu Xiaogang panicked; this was the asset that would secure his future title advancement.
"No, don't leave me, Golden Holy Dragon, no!"
As the Golden Holy Dragon peeled away, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of fear and anger. He reached out to grasp the Golden Holy Dragon's phantom, but failed. Ultimately, his connection with the dragon was severed.
Elsewhere, a weaker spirit phantom filled the void in Yu Xiaogang's body.
Qian Xunji's pig spirit card was instantly replaced with the Golden Holy Dragon card.
Yu Xiaogang's expression froze. He barely had a moment of joy before his spirit was ripped away.
"Hello!" the pig spirit nuzzled Yu Xiaogang's body affectionately.
Yu Xiaogang was devastated. Nothing is more devastating than reaching the pinnacle of your ascent only to plummet to the bottom.
The Golden Holy Dragon, his lifelong desire and pursuit, he finally got it, but within seconds, he lost it, and it was replaced by a domestic pig martial spirit that was even worse than Luo Sanpao.
If it weren't for his level 36 soul power as a foundation, it would be difficult for this domestic pig martial spirit to be promoted to a great soul master.
"Qian Xunji, you are not keeping your word. Return the Golden Holy Dragon Martial Spirit to me." Yu Xiaogang looked at Qian Xunji with bloodshot eyes, and said in despair, with a hint of pleading in his voice.
"Yu Xiaogang--" Qian Xunji said, "Did I break my word? I gave you the Golden Dragon Fruit, but that doesn't mean I can't take away your Golden Holy Dragon."
Qian Xunji took the Golden Holy Dragon card and shook it in front of Yu Xiaogang, then pinched the card, and Qian Xunji's body suddenly flashed with golden light, and the shadow of the Golden Holy Dragon emerged from behind Qian Xunji, emitting a roar like a dragon's roar--
"Hahahahaha, my martial spirit is the Golden Holy Dragon, the Golden Holy Dragon. Is this the power of the Golden Holy Dragon? It's amazing, Sbarasi!" Qianxunji laughed crazily.
