Chapter 103: How Could You Take Herbs So Recklessly?!
After reporting to Lei Bao, Yu Tianlin rested for the night, then set off early the next morning to return to the clan.
Right now, he was carrying an entire pile of medicinal herbs. He only wanted to get back as quickly as possible and use them to strengthen the clan's overall power.
Especially his grandfather. If Yu Yuanzhen could break through to level 97, that would be terrifying.
Later in the original story, a few characters did reach level 97, but at the current stage, that realm was still very far away.
As far as Yu Tianlin knew, across the entire Douluo Continent, aside from the few Limit Douluos at level 99, only Spirit Hall's Second Elder had reached level 98. Below that was an empty gap at level 97. There simply was no one publicly known at that level.
In Chapter 325 of the original novel, during Xiao Wu's fight with the Three Elders, it was mentioned that the Three Elders were level 96.
At level 96, the number of people rose sharply. The upper 3 sects' leaders, Tang Xiao, Chen Xin, and Yu Yuanzhen, along with Spirit Hall's 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Enshrined, were all at this stage.
If Grandpa Yu Yuanzhen broke through to level 97, he would stand above that entire group. When Spirit Hall's Spirit Hunting Operation arrived, getting through it would become much less difficult.
After all, the Spirit Hunting Operation was initiated by Bibi Dong. But Bibi Dong could not control the Enshrined above level 95. As the Pope, she would also not personally act.
So the Title Douluos sent to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely not exceed level 95.
In the original story, Yu Yuanzhen was only level 96, just one step short. Spirit Hall succeeded by relying on numbers to besiege him. In the end, they even sacrificed a Title Douluo, taking Yu Yuanzhen down with them.
But level 97 was different.
After Chen Xin broke through, he was able to drive off Spirit Hall's invaders. Even though he had Ning Fengzhi's support, he still lost an arm, greatly reducing his strength. With one gain and one loss offsetting each other, his overall combat power should have been close to that of a normal level 97.
There was also Yu Tianlin's second grandfather, Yu Luomian.
He had been stuck at level 89 for many years. If Yu Tianlin gave him a suitable herb, breaking through to level 90 should not be difficult.
That would mean the clan gained another Title Douluo level powerhouse. In the first part, a Title Douluo was still someone who could shake an entire region just by appearing.
As for the Dragon Origin Fruit incident, Yu Luomian had prioritized the clan, which was why he opposed giving one to Yu Tianlin. But after Yu Tianlin defeated Yu Tianqing and displayed the potential of his first Spirit Ring, Yu Luomian did not go back on his word and readily agreed.
Beyond that, there were still many elders at the Spirit Douluo level. Yu Tianlin planned to strengthen them all.
There were still 6 or 7 years until the Spirit Hunting Operation. With enough resources, it was possible that a few elders could break through to the Title Douluo realm during that time.
With these thoughts, Yu Tianlin hurried back and finally arrived at the clan 4 days later.
After returning, he did not even go home. He went straight to the clan's council hall to see his grandfather.
The 2 burly guards at the entrance recognized Yu Tianlin and did not stop him.
The moment Yu Tianlin stepped into the council hall, he heard the voices of his grandfather and father.
"Mingfeng, how is Xiaogang doing now?"
"Second Brother has stayed at Notting Academy these past few years, training the disciple he took in. Although the disciple's Martial Soul is useless, Blue Silver Grass, his Spirit Power cultivation is very fast."
"Sigh. Xiaogang really is stubborn. It seems he wants to train a disciple to prove himself."
They were discussing Yu Xiaogang when Yu Tianlin's heart stirred and he strode into the hall.
Upon hearing footsteps, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Mingfeng immediately stopped talking and turned to the entrance.
"Grandpa, Dad, I'm back."
Yu Tianlin walked toward them.
Both Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Mingfeng were clearly surprised.
Yu Mingfeng blurted out first, "Didn't you go to Thunder Academy? Why are you suddenly back?"
It seemed they did not know he had spent half a year with Dugu Bo. Zuo Jianping probably judged that Yu Tianlin was not in danger and chose not to report it to the clan.
Yu Tianlin did not drag it out. "I broke through to level 40, so I came back to tell you."
"What?!"
Yu Yuanzhen looked like he suspected his hearing had failed. He pressed, "You said you broke through to what level?"
Yu Mingfeng's face was filled with disbelief.
"I'm already level 42."
Yu Tianlin did not want to waste time explaining, so he directly activated his Martial Soul. 4 Spirit Rings rose one by one, 3 purple and 1 black, slowly circling around him.
"Look."
Whoosh!
Two sharp sounds rang out. Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Mingfeng appeared at Yu Tianlin's side almost simultaneously, their eyes locked onto that deep black Spirit Ring.
"Father, it's real!" Yu Mingfeng cried out, stunned. "Tianlin has stepped into the Spirit Ancestor realm!"
Yu Yuanzhen's gaze shifted from the black Spirit Ring to Yu Tianlin's face. His eyes burned as he asked in a heavy voice, "Tianlin, what exactly happened?"
"I personally took you to obtain your 3rd Spirit Ring. In less than a year, you've already broken through to level 40."
Hearing that, Yu Mingfeng also snapped out of the shock and realized how abnormal this speed was.
It truly was too fast.
Yu Tianlin was 10 years and 8 months old when he obtained his 3rd Spirit Ring, and 11 years and 6 months old when he obtained his 4th. That was only 10 months total, still 2 months short of a full year.
Advancing 10 levels in 10 months was absolutely not normal. No wonder his grandfather was suspicious.
Yu Tianlin could only explain honestly, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. After absorbing my 3rd Spirit Ring, I was already level 32. Then I cultivated for 4 months and reached level 33."
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Mingfeng both nodded. One level in 4 months was a fairly normal pace.
Yu Tianlin continued, "After reaching level 33, I consumed a medicinal herb. It instantly raised me 4 levels, bringing me to level 37."
"After that, my cultivation speed increased dramatically. I advanced 3 levels in half a year and reached level 40. Then I was given a 10,000 year Spirit Ring, which raised me 2 more levels. So now I'm level 42."
"Medicinal herb…"
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Mingfeng exchanged a glance. The problem was clearly with that herb.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression instantly turned distressed. "Tianlin, you're foolish! How could you take herbs so carelessly just to pursue faster cultivation?"
"Do you know how severe the side effects can be?"
Grandpa, you misunderstood.
Before Yu Tianlin could explain, Yu Yuanzhen placed a hand on his shoulder. A vast, tyrannical surge of Spirit Power poured into Yu Tianlin's body.
