Chapter 143: The Agony of Flesh, Then Cease to Be Human!

Chapter 143: The Agony of Flesh, Then Cease to Be Human!

Spirit City, in the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope's throne, gazing at the secret message in her hand, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

She had always been paying close attention to Yu Xiaogang's affairs. Every so often, someone would deliver reports on Yu Xiaogang's current situation.

Reading the intelligence in her hand, Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time.

After a long pause, she murmured, "Liu Erlong discovered that Yu Xiaogang's pursuit of her back then wasn't out of love, but because of the absolute authority within the Golden Iron Triangle?"

This was something Bibi Dong truly hadn't known.

The letter also mentioned that this discovery was made when Liu Erlong "tricked" Yu Xiaogang into revealing it, and it was practically certain to be true.

What puzzled Bibi Dong was why Liu Erlong would suddenly investigate something that happened years ago. After all, nearly twenty years had passed—why only now did she look into it? It seemed odd no matter how one thought about it.

In Bibi Dong's impression, Yu Xiaogang wasn't the type of person to do something so absurd and laughable just for control over a martial soul fusion technique.

Her brow furrowed tighter, and the more she thought about it, the more her head ached.

In the original work, she destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan because she wanted Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong to be together, avoiding disdain from their clan members. But now, after this revelation, the reasoning for destroying the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was significantly diminished.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was, after all, a neutral sect. They didn't lean toward any side, and there was no real need to eliminate them.

This was unlike the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, which fully supported the Heaven Dou Empire and obstructed the advancement of Spirit Hall.

However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had not aligned themselves with any faction. Their existence didn't affect the outcome at all.

In the original work, Yu Yuanzhen was only a rank-95 Super Douluo. Yet, even against several Titled Douluo, he managed to kill one and severely injure others. It was clear that attacking the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan yielded no real benefit.

As for why Yu Yuanzhen was now rank-96 at the start, it was because after witnessing the birth of 'Kong,' he had an epiphany! He directly broke through to rank-96!

Having personally experienced such thunderous power, it would have been difficult for Yu Yuanzhen not to gain insight!

This also explained why Yu Yuanzhen was one rank higher than in the original work. Right now, not even the Golden Crocodile Douluo could easily handle him!

Though both were rank-98, Yu Yuanzhen, without a 100,000-year spirit ring, still couldn't be easily defeated by Golden Crocodile Douluo due to his mastery of the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique.

The Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, when cultivated to the level of a Titled Douluo, enhanced all attributes. The gap couldn't be widened merely by a 100,000-year spirit ring!

You must understand, the Dragon Transformation Secret Technique could turn a human body into the same level as that of a spirit beast!

This was the reason why the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was considered the top beast martial soul in the world!

The agony of flesh? Then cease to be human!

Throughout the four-book Douluo series, spanning 30,000 years of development, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only nearly faced extinction during this period. In the subsequent times, their descendants remained unmatched in strength.

Ten thousand years later, the Bright Holy Dragon Mu En and the mutated martial soul, Blue Lightning Bright Holy Dragon Bei Bei, both emerged from this clan.

Twenty thousand years later, the influence of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was still present. Even Tang Wulin once used the title of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's young sect master to participate in Gu Yue's marriage competition.

Thirty thousand years later, Wang Tianyu, the true god of thunder, also hailed from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

This clearly showcased the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul!

In contrast, the Clear Sky Clan and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan seemed to fade into obscurity…

Following Tang San? Three days of hunger, nine days of starvation…

It was often said that DPS (damage-dealers) come and go, but supports are eternal. Yet the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul always carried the title of the top beast martial soul!

Whether it was the Bright Holy Dragon or the Blue Lightning Bright Holy Dragon, both were variants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and this fact couldn't be denied.

Sitting on the Pope's throne, Bibi Dong pondered for a long time before finally speaking into the empty air: "Ghost Douluo!"

As soon as her words fell, a figure shrouded in black mist appeared below the Pope's Hall. The figure knelt on one knee, clasping his hands in a silent salute. He knew that sometimes silence was the best form of communication.

Some matters were not for him to know. As long as he pretended not to, the one above wouldn't hold him accountable for it.

"Investigate the reasons behind Yu Xiaogang's initial arrival at Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong said coldly. She trusted Ghost Douluo completely. He was not one to gossip, which was why she had him stationed at the Pope's Hall.

"Yes."

With that, Ghost Douluo's figure disappeared from the hall.

Bibi Dong had always harbored suspicions in her heart, and today, after seeing this secret letter, those suspicions resurfaced.

She had long felt that Yu Xiaogang's arrival in Spirit City back then might have had ulterior motives.

Bibi Dong remained skeptical of this thought, which was why she sent Ghost Douluo to investigate and put her doubts to rest.

However, what she didn't realize was: lies don't hurt, but the truth is a sharp blade!

The events of that year had long passed, and there was little information left to uncover.

But then again, this was Yu Xiaogang they were dealing with!

Back then, Ghost Douluo had been one of Qian Xunji's trusted generals, highly regarded by him.

Qian Xunji had secretly investigated Yu Xiaogang back in the day and found his intentions impure. As a result, he had quietly driven the "Master" out of Spirit Hall and Spirit City.

Naturally, as one of Qian Xunji's most trusted aides, Ghost Douluo was aware of this. He had even been present when Qian Xunji expelled Yu Xiaogang.

It was simply a matter of retrieving those sealed reports and conducting a fresh investigation to clarify everything.

Meanwhile, far away at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, Yu Xiaogang had no idea that his time of downfall was approaching.

Because of the situation with Liu Erlong, another ex-girlfriend, one whose mind was on the verge of being consumed by darkness, had been drawn into the fray.

As for Kong, he spent his days idly, leaving his soul core to cultivate itself. With such a "well-behaved and diligent" soul core, who needed to train?

He was fortunate that he had used numerous soul techniques to condense his soul core, and more impressively, he had succeeded on the first try!

It seemed like he was truly the protagonist of this story, wasn't he?

Once he was on the verge of breaking through to the Titled Douluo level, he could condense another soul core, achieving a yin-yang dual soul core. Then he would be even more carefree.

In fact, the yin-yang dual soul core wasn't even the limit. When he was close to breaking through to rank 99...

But it was too early to talk about that now.

"Should I go claim the three spirit bones awarded by Spirit Hall? Or wait until someone wins and then snatch them?" Kong pondered, rubbing his chin.

Given the current strength of Tang San and the others, thinking they could win the championship was nothing more than a pipe dream.

So, barring any surprises, the champions should be from Spirit Hall...
