Chapter 198: Unexpected Gain
The lightning gradually dissipated, revealing Yu Yuanzhen's figure.
He had already exited his dragon form. His Spirit Rings were gone, and he stood motionless in midair, looking as calm as ever.
Yu Tianlin's heart tightened anyway. He feared his grandfather had been injured. He immediately unfolded the dragon wing Spirit Bone on his back, flew over, and called out, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Yu Yuanzhen's expression was a little strange. When he heard Yu Tianlin's voice, he said, "I didn't expect Tang Hao to know the Clear Sky Sect's Ring Explosion secret technique. He caught me off guard and managed to tear open my domain with a single burst."
Ring Explosion was terrifyingly strong, but it was also terrifyingly dangerous. If a person's body could not withstand that sudden surge of power, they would explode and die on the spot. That was why it could only be cultivated after reaching the level of a Titled Douluo.
Yet when Tang Hao left the clan back then, he was only around level 70. After all those upheavals, he never returned to the Clear Sky Clan, let alone learned their secret techniques.
So Yu Yuanzhen had instinctively assumed Tang Hao could not use Ring Explosion, and that assumption was exactly why he was caught off guard and let Tang Hao slip out of the domain.
"As long as you're alright, Grandpa, that's what matters." Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen's voice was still steady and his aura showed no weakness, Yu Tianlin finally let out a breath. "Grandpa, you said it yourself, it was because we didn't know in advance. Now that we know Tang Hao can explode rings, we're prepared. If we fight again, he won't even be able to break through your domain."
Yu Yuanzhen did not answer.
He lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling toward his own palm.
Only then did Yu Tianlin notice that Yu Yuanzhen had been holding something the whole time, a dark, indistinct object clenched in his hand.
Earlier, Tang Hao's desperate hammer strike had been too imposing, and Yu Tianlin's attention had been fixed on his grandfather's condition. He had subconsciously ignored what Yu Yuanzhen was carrying.
Now, following his grandfather's gaze, Yu Tianlin finally saw it clearly.
"What is that?"
In Yu Yuanzhen's hand was only a dark lump, crushed and deformed beyond recognition. Yu Tianlin could barely tell it was metal, but he could not identify it.
"A lead box," Yu Yuanzhen said. His expression remained strange, as if he already understood something. "I grabbed it from Tang Hao's arms. There was something inside."
He paused for a beat, then continued, "If this thing hadn't blocked my claw back then, that strike would have seriously injured him, or even made him unable to fight."
That was an exaggeration in the most frightening sense.
Tang Hao had summoned the Clear Sky Hammer at the last moment, yet it was still knocked aside by Yu Yuanzhen's dragon claw. Whatever was inside this lead box had actually helped Tang Hao endure that strike.
Yu Tianlin's eyes narrowed, as if a thought was forming. He faintly guessed something as well.
Yu Yuanzhen stopped keeping him in suspense. He tightened his fingers, Spirit Power surging. The twisted lead box instantly crumbled into dust.
At the same time, a powerful aura burst out from his palm.
It was a right leg Spirit Bone, entirely blue and gold. It looked as if starlight flickered within it, giving off a vivid, life filled feeling.
The moment Yu Tianlin saw it, his expression changed.
So it really was this.
The Blue Silver Emperor's right leg Spirit Bone.
No wonder Tang Hao had still swung that final hammer with everything he had, even while retreating. That was Ah Yin's keepsake. It was normal for him to lose control.
A 100,000 year Spirit Bone was incomparably hard. It made perfect sense that it could help block that dragon claw strike.
Yu Yuanzhen said calmly, "The aura on this Spirit Bone is strong. It is of the same origin as Tang Hao's 9th Spirit Ring. That confirms it. This is a 100,000 year Spirit Bone."
He paused, then his tone became complicated.
"In the past, a 100,000 year Spirit Bone would have been an unimaginable treasure for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, something you could only encounter by luck. But now…"
Hearing that, Yu Tianlin could not help feeling both amused and helpless.
After Dragon Valley, he had brought back so many god level Spirit Bones that the clan alone received over 70. Their quality was far beyond this Blue Silver Emperor right leg Spirit Bone, and they were practically overflowing.
From that angle, this Spirit Bone was not only less useful, it was also dangerous. Keeping it might attract Tang Hao's killing intent again.
But it was not necessarily useless.
Yu Tianlin's thoughts raced, and an idea surfaced.
Among the god level Spirit Bones Yu Tianlin brought back, head and torso bones were relatively easier to absorb. But limb bones were different. Because they contained dragon claws, their energy was violent beyond measure. Even with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's physique after dragon transformation, one generally needed to reach Titled Douluo to absorb them.
In other words, those god level limb Spirit Bones were terrifyingly strong, but the requirements were also terrifyingly high, limiting who could use them.
This Blue Silver Emperor right leg Spirit Bone was also a limb type. Although it could not compare to god level Spirit Bones, it was still rare, top tier, and its absorption requirements were not so extreme.
From that perspective, it was actually very valuable.
"Even if it's not the best, it's still a good harvest in the end." Yu Yuanzhen examined the Blue Silver Emperor right leg Spirit Bone, then prepared to put it away. "Either way, I'll take it back and store it. It can strengthen the clan's foundation."
"Wait, Grandpa." Yu Tianlin interrupted him. "Can I handle this Spirit Bone?"
"Tianlin, you want it?" Yu Yuanzhen looked surprised. "Didn't you already keep a few Spirit Bones for yourself? Why do you suddenly want this one?"
He frowned slightly and added, "Besides, this came from Tang Hao. It's too dangerous for you to keep it. If Tang Hao comes again, you'll be the one in trouble. It's safer for me to hold onto it and bring it back to the clan later."
"It's fine. Tang Hao won't suspect me," Yu Tianlin said directly. "He'll assume something this important must be with you, Grandpa. He won't think I, a little guy, would be holding it."
The moment he saw the Blue Silver Emperor right leg Spirit Bone, Yu Tianlin had already begun making arrangements. If he handled it personally, it could be very useful.
"We'll talk about it later." Seeing Yu Tianlin's determined expression, clearly eager for it, Yu Yuanzhen did not agree immediately. Instead, he said in a low voice, "Let's leave first."
The commotion from their battle had been too great. It had already drawn attention.
Yu Yuanzhen could sense someone approaching, so he prepared to take Yu Tianlin away first.
