Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor

Devouring the Asura God's divine position to strengthen himself was something Chen Ming had been contemplating for a long time and had been preparing for step by step. On the other hand, the Angel God's idea of devouring the Asura God's divine position was derived from Chen Ming's recent reminder. However, unlike Chen Ming, who had been planning and gradually working toward it, the Angel God's thought was merely a fleeting impulse. Because she currently had no connection to any divine position in the God Realm, the Angel God stopped just thinking about it.

...

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang, who had been thrown out of the Spirit Hall, was found by Tang San. Carrying his godfather, who reeked of a strange stench from his crotch, Tang San left Spirit City under the mocking gazes of others, as though they were watching a clown.

After leaving Spirit City, Tang San, who had maintained a calm expression, could no longer suppress his emotions. His face twisted with rage, and his eyes brimmed with killing intent.

"Spirit Hall... Spirit City... All of you are on a path of destruction! Wicked Spirit Hall, one day, I will utterly annihilate you!"

Tang San growled under his breath, then brought Yu Xiaogang to a secluded grove, where he used some stimulating methods to wake him up.

Before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Tang San, his face still contorted, immediately questioned him aggressively.

"Teacher, where is the cultivation method for my twin martial souls?"

"Ah... Xiao San, I..."

Yu Xiaogang, who had just regained consciousness, rubbed his eyes. Looking around to confirm he was no longer in the Pope's Palace and that the person in front of him was his disciple Tang San, not Bibi Dong, he fell into a daze.

However, his confusion didn't last long, as the furious Tang San forcefully shook Yu Xiaogang, snapping him out of his memories.

"Teacher, where is my cultivation method?"

In truth, ever since Yu Xiaogang had been tossed out of the Spirit Hall like garbage, Tang San had already lost all hope in him. Especially during his walk out of the city, carrying Yu Xiaogang on his back, the strange gazes of others pierced Tang San's pride deeply.

Unaware of it himself, Tang San's voice already carried a hint of killing intent, and his icy gaze instinctively caused Yu Xiaogang's bladder to tremble, forcing out a few drops of liquid.

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, unsure of what to say. His heart was filled with resentment toward Bibi Dong and hatred for the cold indifference shown by Tang Hao and Tang San. But looking into Tang San's eyes, Yu Xiaogang instinctively rummaged through his belongings, trying to buy himself some time.

Unexpectedly, just when he thought he wouldn't find anything, a piece of beast hide made from the skin of a high-level soul beast fell into his hands.

Yu Xiaogang pulled out the beast hide and, after a quick glance, his expression instantly brightened. He recognized Bibi Dong's handwriting on it, and the content was related to twin-martial soul cultivation methods.

Even more astonishingly, the cultivation method described on the beast hide was about seventy to eighty percent similar to his earlier theories!

"Xiao San, I've obtained the twin-martial soul cultivation method from an acquaintance! Look, here it is!"

Although Tang San was Yu Xiaogang's disciple, at this moment, Yu Xiaogang acted more like a frightened child, desperately shoving the beast hide into Tang San's hands.

When Tang San saw the detailed cultivation method on the beast hide and realized how closely it aligned with his previous studies, the killing intent and malice in his eyes instantly disappeared. His expression softened, returning to the innocence he once had. After placing the cultivation method into his storage tool, Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges, Tang San bent down, gently helped Yu Xiaogang up, and channeled his Mysterious Heaven Skill soul power to stabilize Yu Xiaogang's condition.

Tang San behaved as if he had just apprenticed himself to Yu Xiaogang for the first time, appearing honest and respectful. Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, was preoccupied with his thoughts and outwardly displayed the same aloof demeanor as when he first met Tang San.

In this shared pretense, the master and disciple seemed to return to the pure relationship they had when they first met. They exchanged a few words, but neither was truly focused on the other.

Watching this scene, Tang Hao felt a strange sense of disgust. However, upon reflection, since Yu Xiaogang still had some value, it was better to keep this useless man around for the time being. Who knows—he might prove useful in the future.

After returning to Xiao Wu and Dai Mubai, Tang San first memorized the twin-martial soul cultivation method, then burned the beast hide to ashes. Finally, he approached Yu Xiaogang with a collection of strange items and began applying them to him.

After a series of modifications, Yu Xiaogang's appearance was completely transformed. The once weathered face of a middle-aged man was disguised as that of a somewhat lecherous old man. His hair was shaved clean, his body dressed in new clothes, and he held a cane crafted by Tang San from a piece of roadside wood. He now looked like a hunched-over elderly man.

Tang San's disguise skills were not only excellent but also took into account Yu Xiaogang's current physical state.

With his soul power destroyed and his body weakened, Yu Xiaogang was disguised as an old man with frail health. His hunched back, feeble body and even his incontinence were all perfectly reasonable under this guise.

Looking at the reflection of his unfamiliar self in the mirror Tang San had provided, Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a long time before letting out a sigh of resignation.

"Fine, let it be. I, Yu Xiaogang, can no longer walk the continent under my true identity. Although I've lost my soul power, the knowledge and wisdom in my mind remain intact. For those with ambitions, this is far too tempting."

"From now on, I, Yu Xiaogang, will live in anonymity and continue to train my disciple. I should change my name as well."

"Back in the day, when the Golden Iron Triangle roamed the continent, those were the happiest times of my life. Since our martial soul fusion technique was called the Golden Holy Dragon, I shall take the surname 'Huang.' As for the three of us traveling together back then, I shall call myself 'Huang San.'"

Yu Xiaogang glanced at the silent Tang San beside him and quickly added:

"Now that my soul power is gone, I am nothing but a half-dead, insignificant shell of a man. For the final character, I shall call myself 'Gui'—ghost."

"From now on, my name will be Huang Sangui."

Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Yu Xiaogang—no, Huang Sangui—muttered to himself.
