Chapter 50: The Tragic Fate of Yu Xiaogang, End of the Sixth Livestream
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
After initiating the shared livestream, Sword Douluo Chen Xin utilized the Soul Power Evolution Opportunity he had earned.
In a flash of blinding light, a sword-shaped Soul, the Silver-White Seven Kills Sword, materialized behind Sword Douluo Chen Xin. This sword exuded an intense aura of coldness and murderous intent.
At the same time, nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, and five black—rose from Chen Xin's feet, encircling him.
Next, the Soul Power Evolution Opportunity took effect. Blood-red lights surged from the void, streaming into the Seven Kills Sword Soul behind Chen Xin.
Amid the dazzling crimson light, the Seven Kills Sword rapidly transformed: the blade extended and widened, its color shifted from silver-white to a blood-red hue, and its appearance became more sinister, exuding a chilling and bloody murderous aura.
Once the evolution was complete, the evolved Blood-Red Seven Kills Sword Soul emitted a sharp "clang" as it shot into Chen Xin's hand.
In an instant, a dense blood-red energy radiated outward, enveloping the entire main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"This is... a Domain?!"
Seeing the blood-red energy field enveloping the hall, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and others in the hall—including Bibi Dong, Tang Xiao, Yu Yuanzhen, Snow Night Emperor, and Dai Tianfeng—were shocked. They immediately recognized what it was.
Many people felt envious. A Domain was a top-level special ability only the most powerful Soul Masters possessed! Its effects were comparable to, in some ways even stronger than, Soul Bones.
The fact that Sword Douluo Chen Xin's Soul had gained a Domain through evolution was a huge boost to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's power!
Seeing Chen Xin's Soul evolve, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School allies—Snow Night Emperor and his entourage from the Heaven Dou Empire—congratulated Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.
Next, Yu Yuanzhen from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Bibi Dong and her subordinates Yue Guan and Ghost Emperor from the Spirit Hall, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire, and Zhu Xuanming from the Ghostly Heaven Pavilion all extended their congratulations to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Whether their congratulations were sincere or merely formalities, everyone understood the importance of maintaining appearances.
[Liu Erlong (angry): This is unfair! Why is it that while everyone else who answered incorrectly only had their Soul Power taken away, Xiaogang was deprived of the Golden Dragon Source of his Soul? Isn't the punishment supposed to be proportional to how far off the answer is?]
As everyone congratulated the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and contemplated the impact of Sword Douluo's power upgrade, Liu Erlong suddenly expressed her anger.
Seeing Liu Erlong's comment, many people were speechless.
Isn't Yu Xiaogang just a useless person?
Even though he lost something as impressive-sounding as the Golden Dragon Source, it probably wasn't as powerful as it sounded. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't be such a failure!
He was already useless before; losing the Golden Dragon Source doesn't change much. Why make such a fuss?
But the livestream quickly responded to Liu Erlong's complaints.
A line of blood-red text appeared, and the cold voice spoke again.
[Notice: There is no error with the live stream. Although the punishment for incorrect answers is based on how far the answers deviate from the correct ones, there is no absolute correlation. The nature of the punishment is random, and Yu Xiaogang's misfortune is simply due to bad luck.]
[If either of you is dissatisfied with this livestream, you may apply for a permanent exit. We will accommodate your request.]
Seeing the livestream's response, Lin Yu nearly burst into laughter.
Bad luck? That's a pretty good reason!
Apart from his attempts to appear talented and play the victim to attract gullible women, Yu Xiaogang's misfortune was indeed genuine.
Just because I'm unlucky?!
At the Nuoding Academy, seeing the live stream's response, Yu Xiaogang held his head in despair, his face contorted with pain.
Was he just that unlucky?
It seemed... that he truly was!
From childhood in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang had seen Soul mutations before—like Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Soul, which was a variation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul.
But in his case?
His Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul had deteriorated drastically. It had devolved to an extreme degree, with no resemblance to a dragon at all. The final name was even left to him to decide!
Later, he managed to get close to the Saintess Bibi Dong, hoping to find ways to evolve his Soul using the exclusive archives of the Spirit Hall.
But then Bibi Dong insisted on eloping with him, leading to a chase by Qian Xunji. Maybe this made Bibi Dong aware of his true nature, and she eventually broke off their relationship.
After that!
He found Liu Erlong, who, despite her lack of background and willingness to assist him, turned out to be his cousin—his paternal aunt's daughter!
In the end, he had to run away!
Yu Xiaogang thought about his misfortunes and felt even more despaired, thinking he was nothing short of tragic!
But even in his despair, Yu Xiaogang was determined not to give up.
As long as he was alive, he would prove himself to the Soul Master world and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!
Although he had lost the Golden Dragon Source, the possibility of receiving another Soul Evolution Opportunity in future Q&A sessions meant he still had a chance.
He had not yet lost!
[Lin Yu (mockingly): Oh, isn't this our so-called Soul Master Theory Master Yu Xiaogang? Why are you suddenly so pathetic?]
[Today's question was about Soul Beasts, which you claim to be an expert in. How did you still get it wrong? You're so unlucky, maybe you should just leave this live stream! What a disgrace!]
To clear his suspicion before Hu Liena and Bibi Dong, Lin Yu changed his name prefix as Hu Liena suggested and tagged Bibi Dong.
But to remove suspicion, Lin Yu still needed to adjust the prefix and, following his previous persona, mock Yu Xiaogang after his embarrassing performance.
This way, with two Lin Yus appearing during the livestream, his suspicion would naturally be resolved.
Seeing Lin Yu's comments, many in the live stream were full of ridicule.
Yu Xiaogang's claim of being a Soul Master Theory Master was always seen as unearned. This time, he acted like a fool with his error on the Soul Beast question.
The title of "Clown Master" in the Soul Master world wasn't given by mistake!
Seeing Lin Yu's remarks, Yu Xiaogang's face turned red with embarrassment.
But unable to refute this latest mockery, he could only pretend not to see it.
[Yu Xiaogang (forcing calm): I accept this punishment and will not quit the live stream!]
On the virtual screen, seeing Yu Xiaogang's message about accepting his punishment, Liu Erlong had no further complaints.
[Ding! The current livestream Q&A has ended. The livestream will close temporarily in three minutes. You may choose to exit the live stream.]
[The next livestream Q&A session will be in thirty days!]
As everything concluded, the announcement of a thirty-day gap for the next livestream raised questions among everyone.
In the previous two seven-day intervals, the rewards were Soul Evolution Opportunities. In the fifteen-day interval, the rewards included Soul Bones, Cultivation Methods, and Dragon Essence.
What would the thirty-day interval bring...?
