Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 295, Section 314: Golden Holy Dragon, How Can I Live Without You?
"Hahahaha. Hahahaha."

When Yu Xiaogang saw Lin Chen struggling to hold on under the suppression of the superior martial soul, he seemed to see his own weak self trembling under the golden holy dragon of the small gate.

However, now that the tables have turned, he also possesses the Golden Sacred Dragon, and it's not a spirit fusion skill, but a Golden Sacred Dragon spirit that he enjoys all by himself.

He has completely shed his status as a useless person. Now, he is a level 29 Golden Sacred Dragon Great Soul Master. His powerful martial soul has endowed him with extremely high aptitude. Even though he is now middle-aged, he can still maintain his title and become a top powerhouse on the continent.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang had gone mad. He wanted to vent all his grievances and bitterness over the years in front of Lin Chen, this peasant.

"Hahahaha—Are you envious? Jealous? This is a level you peasants can never reach in your entire lives. My martial soul, the Golden Sacred Dragon, look at its powerful body, its majestic and domineering aura, the noble golden ultimate dragon. This is my martial soul, Yu Xiaogang's, Spalashi, resilient, invincible, strongest, shatter, jade shatter, cheers! Hahahahaha!"

Lin Chen also looked up at the golden dragon. He first took out a card and aimed it at the golden holy dragon—

"Martial Soul Exchange Card, Use, Exchange Target: Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and Big White Pig Martial Soul." On the other card in Lin Chen's hand, a lifelike black and white pig was printed.

Yu Xiaogang, who was in the midst of a frenzy, did not notice Lin Chen's strange behavior.

As soon as the Martial Soul Replacement Card was activated, several tentacles of light extended from it, heading towards the phantom of the golden dragon behind Yu Xiaogang.

One tentacle wrapped around the dragon's neck, four tentacles wrapped around the dragon's legs and claws, and three tentacles wrapped around the dragon's torso.

"Roar—" Suddenly, the golden holy dragon let out a mournful cry, and then its tentacles began to pull towards the spirit card little by little.

Yu Xiaogang's expression froze in his most manic state. At this moment, his face was crumpled like a piece of toilet paper, his mouth was crooked, his eyes were slanted, and a trace of dirty saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

In just a moment, his head mechanically turned to look behind him, and he saw his golden holy dragon being wrapped by tendrils of light, and then being pulled little by little toward the card.

Yu Xiaogang had no idea what was happening, but he could feel his martial spirit peeling away from his body bit by bit. Similarly, his noble golden holy dragon bloodline was also peeling away bit by bit along this tentacle.

Yu Xiaogang was extremely shocked and furious. He turned to look at Lin Chen and roared, "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Lin Chen looked at Yu Xiaogang strangely and said, "As you can see, of course I'm going to retrieve my martial soul, the Golden Sacred Dragon."

"No, you can't do this! This is my martial soul, Yu Xiaogang's Golden Sacred Dragon!" Yu Xiaogang was practically going crazy. He had finally shaken off the label of "good-for-nothing," reached the shore, and possessed his own Golden Sacred Dragon. His path to the peak had only just begun, but Lin Chen was using some unknown method to strip away his martial soul. How could Yu Xiaogang accept this?

He had to stop it, but he didn't know how. Yu Xiaogang looked around, spotted a rock, then glanced at Lin Chen. A surge of anger welled up inside him—Lin Chen, the Golden Sacred Dragon belongs to me, Yu Xiaogang! It's my capital to escape being a useless piece of trash, and no one can take it from me! You dare to become an obstacle to my rise? Then you can only die! Yu Xiaogang immediately grabbed a rock and charged at Lin Chen, swinging it down on Lin Chen's head.

Before they even made contact with Lin Chen, a dazzling shock emanated from the card, and Yu Xiaogang and the stone in his hand were sent flying backward by the impact of the golden light.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, but the spirit stripping ritual activated by this card is mandatory and cannot be stopped. From the moment you activated your spirit and I activated this card, everything was destined. So Gangzi, just accept this fact."

Yu Xiaogang felt as if his internal organs had shifted from the fall, and he was in excruciating pain. However, what was even harder to bear than the physical pain was the psychological pain.

As he struggled to lift his head, he saw his golden dragon getting closer and closer to the card under the pull of its tentacles, its body getting smaller and smaller until it gradually merged into the card.

The entire process can be described as follows:

Initially, Yu Xiaogang held 100% control of the Golden Sacred Dragon. After the spirit-splitting process began, Yu Xiaogang's control gradually decreased, eventually sliding to zero.
Feeling his connection to the Golden Sacred Dragon being gradually severed, Yu Xiaogang went mad—

He tried to stand up, but found that his legs wouldn't obey him. He could only crawl towards the golden dragon like a maggot. He painfully reached out and grabbed at the golden dragon, trying to hold it back. He pleaded, "No, please, golden dragon, don't leave me, don't leave me!"

Finally, the Golden Sacred Dragon completely merged into the card in Lin Chen's hand.

"No—my Golden Holy Dragon!" In the instant the connection was completely severed, Yu Xiaogang let out a desperate cry: "How can I live without you?" (Luo Sanpao: say goodbye)

Looking at the lifelike golden holy dragon on the card, Lin Chen smiled at Yu Xiaogang and said, "Gangzi, your golden holy dragon is really great. However, it's mine now. But it's a bit unfair to steal your martial soul. How about this, we'll have a fair one-on-one trade. I'll give you back a martial soul."

As he spoke, a phantom image shot out from another card and flew towards Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang only saw a large spotted pig fly towards him, and then it merged into his body, filling the gap in his martial soul position.

The new martial soul automatically appeared; it was a large black and white spotted pig. Like Luo Sanpao, it was an detached martial soul. The spotted pig made a series of babbling sounds and affectionately nuzzled Yu Xiaogang's body with its snout.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang was in utter despair. Luo Sanpao was a useless martial soul, but this martial soul still gave Yu Xiaogang a glimmer of hope: Luo Sanpao possessed the bloodline of the Golden Sacred Dragon. One day, he might encounter a fortuitous event that would activate Luo Sanpao's bloodline, ultimately transforming him into the Golden Sacred Dragon.

But now, things have really gotten worse. The Flower Pig Martial Soul is a completely useless Martial Soul from every angle. The aptitude of this useless Martial Soul is not even enough to support Yu Xiaogang's cultivation to become a Great Soul Master. The reason he still has the soul power of a Great Soul Master is because when his Martial Soul was Luo Sanpao, he achieved it by putting in two hundred times more effort than ordinary people and working hard to cultivate little by little.
