Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
This place was not as terrible as Yu Xiaogang had described.
Although the competition within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was fierce, it did not have the 'failure means death' outcome like the Star Luo Royal Family.
When the clansmen learned that Yu Xiaogang had returned, they still opened the mountain gate for him.
Yu Xiaogang had previously told Flender that the clansmen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family ostracized him because of his Martial Soul mutation.
Actually, that was not the case!
The clansmen simply didn't want to treat him as anything significant at all.
Only geniuses attract jealousy!
Ask yourself...
Who would go out of their way to ostracize a piece of trash?
Of course!
To say there was truly one person in the entire sect who hated Yu Xiaogang to the bone, there was indeed one.
The Second Master, Yu Luomian!
Actually, this couldn't entirely be blamed on Yu Luomian.
In the past, Yu Luomian treated his nephew Yu Xiaogang quite well, even offering comfort when Yu Xiaogang was in the most desperate state of cultivation.
But you fucking had an incestuous affair with his daughter behind his back!
This was something absolutely intolerable for any father.
Even worse, this matter even spread within the sect, once making Yu Luomian unable to lift his head in front of the entire family.
...
Along the way...
Yu Xiaogang once again knelt before his father, Yu Yuanzhen.
People grow sentimental with age!
Although Yu Yuanzhen was angry about Yu Xiaogang running away from home, when his son truly returned to his side after decades, it still plucked the heartstrings belonging to a father. But when he learned that Yu Xiaogang returned this time specifically to ask him to save someone.
The old father's face instantly sank!
However, under Yu Xiaogang's sincere begging, Yu Yuanzhen still decided to step forward to treat his son's only disciple.
Of course!
The premise for treatment was that Yu Xiaogang concealed Tang San's true identity.
He himself was clear!
If Yu Yuanzhen knew Tang San was a member of the Hao Tian Clan, or even Tang Hao's son, his father would absolutely not step forward to save him.
"Carry him into the room."
Yu Xiaogang watched his father slowly rise.
At this moment!
He let out a long sigh of relief.
A Title Douluo making a move meant Tang San was saved once again.
This matter seemed like Yu Xiaogang's achievement, but actually, it was not.
During these three days and two nights coming to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it was always Flender by his side doing the ideological work, telling Yu Xiaogang to kowtow when he should kowtow, admit mistakes when he should admit mistakes, and not act like the sect owed him something.
No status, no strength, no prestige, no seniority...
If you don't act like a grandson, what else should you do?
Flender knew Yu Xiaogang's stinky temper would definitely not listen to him.
Even if he listened, he might completely lose rationality the moment he returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
So Flender kept instilling one thought in him: If you don't act like a grandson, Tang San won't be saved, and your Ten Great Core Competitions of Martial Soul theory will never have the day to prove itself to the world.
Now watching Yu Yuanzhen agree to treat Tang San, Flender's heart was more relieved than anyone else.
...
On the other side.
Knowing Tang San was saved, Yu Xiaogang's mood gradually improved. He saw two little kids, around seven or eight years old, sitting in a pavilion cultivating within the sect, and walked over with interest planning to give them some guidance.
In the past, he would have disdained doing such things!
In his eyes, only Tang San, who had full innate soul power and twin Martial Souls, could prove his theory of the Ten Great Core Competitiveness of Martial Souls.
"What is your innate soul power level?"
The two children looked vigilantly at this stranger who suddenly appeared before them. Before they could open their mouths to answer, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked over.
"Yu Xiaogang!"
"What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man pulled the two children into his embrace, his unpleasant gaze staring tightly at Yu Xiaogang.
The children didn't know Yu Xiaogang, but as a peer, how could he not know.
"These two children have good talent; I want to guide them a bit."
As soon as these words came out.
Several clansmen who walked over couldn't help but start laughing.
Guide?
Did they hear wrong?
A waste with a mutated Martial Soul, who wouldn't get promoted in his entire life, actually now has the qualification to guide others?
"Teach?"
"How will you teach?"
"Do you know about the soul shock from 10,000-year soul rings?"
"Do you know how to quickly pass the weakness period after ending a Martial Soul True Body?"
"Do you know how to correctly use the Dragon Transformation effect of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul?"
"Yu Xiaogang, wake up."
"Your Ten Great Core Competitiveness of Martial Soul theory is either plagiarized or wrong."
"That stuff of yours misleads young people!"
The middle-aged man was now very, very angry.
Considering Yu Xiaogang was the Sect Master's son, he originally didn't want to make these words clear.
You continue to immerse yourself in your spring autumn big dream (fantasy), and he will continue to focus on cultivation on the path to becoming a strong one.
However... Yu Xiaogang actually wanted to lay hands on his two sons!
Fortunately, he was right by their side, otherwise, after his two sons listened to Yu Xiaogang's slander, they would probably be ruined.
"Wait until your disciple wakes up, then you can go talk to him about those nonsensical Martial Soul theories, but please remember not to harm my children again."
This was only because Yu Xiaogang was the Sect Master's son.
If it were anyone else, the middle-aged man's fist would probably have already landed on Yu Xiaogang's nose bridge.
"..."
A bolt from the blue!
Yu Xiaogang felt like he had been struck by lightning.
Even after being sprayed wildly by the middle-aged man in front of him, he couldn't say a single word of rebuttal.
His brain was blank!
Only after all the clansmen left did he gradually recover from this state.
He jogged all the way to find Flender, grabbing his good brother's collar and questioning: "Is there really soul shock for 10,000-year soul rings?"
He wasn't sure!
And this was the first time he heard this statement.
"Soul shock...?"
"When a soul master absorbs a 10,000-year soul ring, there is indeed a feeling of the brain suffering an impact, and even feeling the resentment of the dead soul beast..."
Yu Xiaogang stiffened in place once again.
Soul Shock indeed existed!
And this was something he had never known from start to finish.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You never asked me before either."
Flender was also helpless!
Previously, Yu Xiaogang dragged him asking east and west, writing two whole notebooks, even asking until his brain hurt in the end.
Under this kind of high-intensity Q&A, how could he know if Yu Xiaogang missed something at that time.
In an instant...
Yu Xiaogang was like a deflated balloon, the brilliance in his eyes suddenly reduced by half.
"Xiaogang, what's the big deal."
"You can write this theory into your notebook now, it's not too late."
"Don't forget... you still have Tang San!"
Flender's comfort didn't make the lonely Yu Xiaogang improve much.
Today he didn't know about Soul Shock, tomorrow he might not know even more important soul master information.
Even so!
He still took out his notebook and wrote this theory onto it.
...
Great Star Dou Forest.
The soul beast forest in the early morning added a bit of coldness, but Yang Fan's heart was currently a blaze of fire.
He sat cross-legged on a flat rock.
Two purple and three black soul rings, five in total, circled his body moving up and down, and not far away, the corpse of a Fire Leopard lay quietly.
He was a Soul King!
No!
It should be said he had already been a Soul King long ago, only today did he put this fifth soul ring belonging to himself on.
He obtained an 85,000-year Fire Leopard soul ring!
After successfully obtaining the fifth soul ring, he also truly saw his own level clearly.
Level 58!
It could be said that during the three years at Blazing Fire Academy, the time besides cultivating Dou Qi allowed him to increase his soul power by eight levels.
This speed couldn't be considered fast!
But it also let him truly feel that as soul power levels increased, the speed of level improvement also slowly decreased.
Slash!
This was the name of his fifth soul skill.
This 80,000-year Fire Leopard provided him with a powerful active skill.
After activating the fifth soul skill, it allowed him to teleport a distance, and during the teleportation, he could slash out a light slash using the Soul Breaking Spear.
Not only that!
While releasing the light slash, it could also provide him with a 400% attack amplification.
It could be said...
This was a skill where active and passive coexisted.
"Level 58..."
A smile flowed from the corner of Yang Fan's mouth.
Following this cultivation speed, he could reach the strength of a Soul Emperor by the age of thirteen.
Although a Soul Emperor couldn't be considered a strong one yet, such cultivation speed was enough to make his heart full of ecstasy.
Just imagine...
Suddenly appearing on the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament as a Soul Emperor, how damn beautiful would that picture be?
Next was searching for Beast Flame...
Actually, during these three years at Blazing Fire Academy, he was not gainless.
Yao Lao said the source of the Blazing Fire Stone must possess very violent fire-attribute energy, and this fire-attribute energy was extremely likely to be a wild flame he could swallow.
And according to his tracking investigation over these three years, he really found some traces.
"Little Freak!"
The voice suddenly appearing by his ear and the cold aura made Yang Fan's hair stand on end instantly.
It was precisely this instant that kicked him out of the fantasy of evolving Beast Flame into Heavenly Flame.
Yang Fan leaped up...
The five soul rings that had not yet disappeared almost suddenly flashed at the same time, followed immediately by a sweeping strike.
"Psh—"
A crescent-shaped light slash shot out from the spear tip like lightning, followed by a sharp explosion that made people's teeth ache.
After the strike, Yang Fan saw the visitor clearly, which also made his tense nerves gradually relax.
The visitor was precisely Dugu Bo!
And following behind him was precisely Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Three years of time...
The relationship between Yang Fan and Dugu Bo had also undergone a subtle change.
"Truly a little freak!"
While Dugu Bo exclaimed, he quickly shook the hand that had just blocked Yang Fan's move behind his sleeve.
Careless!
Fortunately, his strength had improved after detoxification, otherwise just now this move might have actually wounded him.
He originally didn't take Yang Fan's attack seriously, but the moment that light slash landed on his hand, the momentum suddenly rose.
This kid's fifth soul ring was truly freakish!
He dared to say soul masters who didn't understand this skill would definitely fall into the trap when fighting Yang Fan for the first time.
Especially when Dugu Bo saw the corpse of the 80,000-year Fire Leopard not far away, his heart stirred up even more waves.
80,000-year fifth ring?!!
Dugu Bo finally understood why Yang Fan's strike just now shocked his palm painfully.
"You are also here to hunt soul rings?"
It seemed so!
Huo Wushuang and his sister had both reached Soul Ancestor, it was not strange for Dugu Yan to successfully promote either.
Like the leading figures of the Four Element Academies, their cultivation speeds were actually not much different, he even felt that after Dugu Yan no longer had the worry of Jade Phosphor Serpent Poison, her cultivation speed would be faster than the Huo siblings.
"Of course!"
"Do you think only you know how to level up in this world?"
Yang Fan guessed correctly.
Dugu Yan had successfully promoted to Soul Ancestor a month ago, it was just that Dugu Bo had gone out of town with Prince Xue Xing some time ago.
But when Dugu Yan saw the five soul rings on Yang Fan...
That joy of obtaining a soul ring disappeared by more than half in an instant.
In the entire Douluo Continent, currently only four people knew his true strength: Besides Master and Grandfather, it was the Dugu Bo grandfather and granddaughter pair.
Of course!
The reason Yang Fan let them know was also to recruit Dugu Bo to join the Breaking Clan.
Although the final result was Dugu Bo refused, he also indicated that if one day the Breaking Clan encountered difficulties, he, Dugu Bo, would definitely stand at the very front.
At the same time...
Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both explicitly guaranteed not to tell anyone about Yang Fan's matters.
They were all clear that with Yang Fan's current strength, even with Yao Chen present, he might not be able to protect him completely.
"Big Brother!"
"You look in good color now, have you reached Level 93?"
Ever since the matter happened where Dugu Bo told Dugu Yan to call him Grandpa, Yang Fan's address for Dugu Bo also changed.
Of course!
It was also limited to certain teasing states.
"You little bastard."
"You call me Grandpa!"
Although Dugu Bo roared, he wasn't truly angry.
Yang Fan was right!
He had now successfully promoted to Level 93. All of this had to be attributed to the merit of that old thing Yao Chen.
Not only helping him guide the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison within his bone marrow out and suppress it into a poison pill, but even helping him turn the poison pill into Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Poison he could use.
It was precisely this transformation that allowed him to be promoted to Level 93 within three years.
Not only that!
Dugu Bo even felt he had hope to become a Super Douluo within ten years.
"Pah—"
"Grandpa, let's go."
Dugu Yan originally wanted to invite Yang Fan to travel together, but the 'call Grandpa' meme made her instantly lose interest.
After getting drunk he spoke without restraint, letting Yang Fan play a rotten meme for two years.
"Little Freak."
"If nothing matters, hurry and leave this soul beast forest, lest you die here and no one collects your corpse."
Yang Fan accepted Dugu Bo's advice.
This time he was very lucky to find an 80,000-year Fire Leopard on the outskirts of the 10,000-year soul beast zone, but even the outskirts of the 10,000-year zone didn't mean it was safe.
Especially since there was still a Titan Giant Ape that had a grudge against him.
Three years had passed...
Yang Fan couldn't guarantee the Titan Giant Ape had truly forgotten him completely.
