Chapter 199: The Martial Soul Awakening That Should Have Belonged to Xiao Long
[Yu Xiaogang, unaware of the kind of life he would "enjoy" in the future, finally nodded under Yu Yuanzhen's gaze.]
[It was just a normal spar with his father; there was nothing to be afraid of.]
[He just didn't know why, but the moment he agreed, a chill flashed through Yu Xiaogang's body.]
["An illusion?"]
[Yu Xiaogang scratched his head and didn't pay any more attention to it.]
[Having achieved a Breakthrough to level 40, he naturally needed to add a fourth spirit ring for himself.]
[It just so happened that the Grand Elder was also going to add a Ninth Soul Ring for himself, so he could settle the matter of his fourth spirit ring along the way.]
["So, do you have any plans for your fourth spirit ring?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen asked.]
[Asked, Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment and finally replied:]
["I feel it should still be the same direction as before: Dragon-type Spirit Beasts, Light Attribute Soul Beasts."]
["However, I feel there's no need to be too insistent on Dragon-type Spirit Beasts in the future. If I encounter one that is exceptionally skilled in the Light Attribute, it's fine even if it's not a Dragon-type Spirit Beast."]
[After some thought, Yu Xiaogang still felt he should follow the direction given by the God of Destruction and take the path of Light Attribute enhancement.]
[After all, this was a proven path provided by a god; by following it, he at least didn't have to worry about wasting his talent.]
[On this path, the only thing that could limit him was his own talent.]
[He would only stop when his talent was eventually exhausted.]
[Of course, the reason Yu Xiaogang wanted to take this direction was also because he felt that Xiao Long's deterioration, caused by his First Level Innate Spirit Power, should have been mostly compensated for after being supplemented by so many Dragon-type Spirit Beast Soul Rings.]
[Just looking at Xiao Long's size after obtaining the Third Soul Ring was enough to prove the point.]
[In addition, he had now used a piece of Crimson Blood Amber, especially since the Soul Beast blood that formed this Crimson Blood Amber came from a Dragon-type Spirit Beast of over a hundred thousand years.]
[This was enough to correct Xiao Long's deterioration.]
["So from now on, the primary consideration for selecting a Soul Ring will be the strength of the Soul Beast's Light Attribute; it would be even better if it's a Dragon-type Spirit Beast."]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen nodded.]
[Yu Xiaogang was clearly referring to the Ultimate Attribute mentioned by the God of Destruction, wanting to specialize in the Light Attribute and elevate his Light Attribute to the level of Ultimate Light.]
[This was good; at least it meant his son wasn't the blindly arrogant type.]
[Yu Yuanzhen had seen many examples of people who were overconfident and wouldn't listen to the experience of their Seniors at all.]
[And those people had basically all paid the price for their actions.]
[At the thought of those people, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart.]
["Even someone as smart as my son refers to the experience of Seniors and won't blindly believe in himself."]
["Those fellows who can't even compare to my son have the nerve to be so confident? They really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"]
[After looking down on those conceited fellows, Yu Yuanzhen chatted with Yu Xiaogang some more about Soul Rings.]
[During this time, Yu Xiaogang also summoned Xiao Long and let Xiao Long enter the secret chamber.]
[Yang Lie, who had already mostly recovered nearby, summoned his Martial Soul again and used a series of moves to help Xiao Long refine its piece of Crimson Blood Amber.]
[During the refining process, Yang Lie looked at the Crimson Blood Amber gradually burning in the furnace and felt an unprecedented heartache.]
[He hadn't known before that the thing he was burning had such Heaven-Defying effects.]
[It directly allowed the Young Sect Master to increase his Soul Power by five levels and even improved his talent!]
[To think such a Heaven-Defying treasure actually existed in the World?]
[If only I could also have such a treasure...]
[Slurp...]
[It could be said that when he got the second piece of Crimson Blood Amber, Yang Lie's eyes turned green with envy.]
[Of course, despite his envy, he never truly thought about taking this piece of Crimson Blood Amber.]
[Even a fool knew how high the value of a treasure that could improve talent and increase Soul Power was.]
[Because there were similar things on the market, and they were called Soul Bones.]
[How could he, as a Soul Master, not know the value of a Soul Bone?]
[That wasn't something he could covet.]
[However.]
[I still want it so much.]
[On the surface, Yang Lie appeared to be seriously and meticulously tending the fire, but in reality, no one knew that the little person in his heart was already crying, screaming, and rolling on the ground.]
[After another wait, night soon fell.]
[Fortunately, Soul Masters Cultivate all year round and have long been accustomed to replacing sleep with meditation.]
[Unless they were truly exhausted, a session of meditation would generally not only improve their cultivation but also remove most of their fatigue, killing two birds with one stone.]
[At dawn, with a sudden burst of pressure, the Grand Elder was the first to wake from his meditation.]
[He looked solemnly in the direction the pressure was coming from, and after discovering it was the secret chamber where Xiao Long was, he found it even more unbelievable.]
["Xiaogang, Xiao Long is..."]
[The Grand Elder looked at Yu Xiaogang, who had also woken up, with a face full of shock; honestly, the fact that even he could feel the pressure was ridiculous.]
[Yu Xiaogang's current strength certainly wouldn't exert pressure on him, so it could only be the quality of Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul.]
[This was the most ridiculous part.]
[His Martial Soul was the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and he was even a quasi-Titled Douluo.]
[For someone like him to feel the pressure of the Martial Soul while facing Yu Xiaogang, who was only level 40—what kind of quality must his Martial Soul be?]
[Even his own Sect Master wasn't like this before; it was only after his Martial Soul evolved that he could truly feel the pressure.]
[Could it be that the Martial Soul quality of Yu Xiaogang at only level 40 was already comparable to the level 97 Yu Yuanzhen?]
[Yu Yuanzhen, who had also woken up due to the movements of the Grand Elder and Yu Xiaogang, rubbed his hands together after hearing the Grand Elder's feelings and looked at Yu Xiaogang.]
["If that's really the case, Xiaogang, you've really dragged Xiao Long down miserably."]
[A Martial Soul with a quality even higher than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon had deteriorated into that state because of Yu Xiaogang's influence.]
[It was also fortunate that his son was capable and managed to pull Xiao Long's talent back.]
[Otherwise, if Yu Xiaogang had taken a single wrong step back then, Xiao Long would have only been able to be a pigsy Spirit for the rest of its life.]
["...Father, if you don't know how to speak properly, you really don't have to say anything."]
[Yu Xiaogang, who was originally happy about Xiao Long's further evolution, spoke irritably upon hearing his father's teasing.]
[He had never seen a father like this, specifically picking at his own son's scabs.]
[However, although Yu Yuanzhen's words were unpleasant, they were indeed the truth.]
[His own talent had held Xiao Long back far too much.]
[Fortunately, he hadn't strayed from the path and had made up for everything.]
[Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang looked toward the secret chamber, as if he could see Xiao Long inside through the walls.]
["Xiao Long's previous evolutions—no, rather, everything before was helping Xiao Long restore its original appearance."]
["Then perhaps tonight is the Martial Soul Awakening that should have truly belonged to Xiao Long!"]
