Black World – Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
"This Ye Hengchuan really knows how to make the most of his position."
"Yu Xiaogang from that parallel world clearly has limitless potential. In the future, countless people will be competing to win his favor."
"Descendants of Titled Douluos, imperial princesses, noble ladies… all of them will line up. By then, with Ye Hengchuan's current status, even his descendants won't be qualified to compete."
"It's just a pity… he isn't from our world."
Ning Fengzhi clicked his tongue softly, his tone filled with both admiration and regret.
Standing beside him, Bone Douluo chuckled teasingly.
"What? If he were from our world, Fengzhi, would you actually have the Sect's disciples throw themselves at him?"
Ning Fengzhi didn't hesitate.
"Just sending ordinary disciples wouldn't be enough."
He spoke calmly, as if discussing something completely natural.
"If possible, I would even send Rongrong to him… even if she couldn't obtain an official status."
The moment those words left his mouth—
Both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo froze.
Their eyes widened in disbelief.
"What did you just say?" Bone Douluo exclaimed. "Send Rongrong over—and without even a proper status? Fengzhi, have you lost your mind?!"
Sword Douluo frowned deeply. For a brief moment, he even considered checking Ning Fengzhi's forehead to see if he had developed a fever.
"Hehe…"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly.
"Uncle Bone, Uncle Sword—you both spoil Rongrong far too much."
His tone softened slightly.
"But we cannot stay by her side forever. In the end, her future depends on her own choices… and the opportunities we can secure for her."
His expression grew more serious.
"Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang… his future is immeasurable."
"If Rongrong could hold even a small place in his heart—then regardless of whether she has an official status or not, her future would be secure."
"Furthermore…"
Ning Fengzhi paused briefly before continuing.
"If she were able to bear his child, then no matter what kind of Spirit that child awakens, it would be beneficial for both Rongrong and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo exchanged glances.
They couldn't deny it.
Ning Fengzhi's reasoning—
Was sound.
Cold, perhaps.
But realistic.
"From what I've observed," Ning Fengzhi continued, "that Yu Xiaogang is someone who values responsibility."
"Establishing a connection with someone like him is far more valuable than recruiting a dozen Spirit Saints or Spirit Douluos."
Silence followed.
Then—
Sword Douluo sighed.
"What a pity…"
"Our world only has the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang… not the Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slowly.
"Yes… it truly is a pity."

After thoroughly showing off in front of Ye Hengchuan, Yu Yuanzhen finally felt satisfied.
With a proud smile still lingering on his face, he prepared to return to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
However—
Before he could leave—
Ye Hengchuan chased after him.
"Big Brother, wait!"
Yu Yuanzhen turned around, slightly puzzled.
"What is it?"
Ye Hengchuan grinned.
"A major event like Xiaogang obtaining a thousand-year spirit ring for his first ring… how could I not witness the aftermath personally?"
His eyes sparkled with excitement.
"I want to see his first Spirit Ability."
"How powerful it is."
"And more importantly…"
He paused.
Then—
His expression turned playful.
"Big Brother… you already showed off in front of me."
"When you return to the Sect… you're definitely going to show off in front of the Elders as well, aren't you?"
For a moment—
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned.
Then—
He burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! As expected of my good brother!"
"You really know me well!"
Ye Hengchuan crossed his arms, smiling smugly.
"Of course. We traveled the continent together back then. How could I not understand you?"
His grin widened.
"Since I already know you're going to show off…"
"I absolutely must go watch!"
"I've already been shocked once—I can't miss the chance to see others get shocked too!"
Yu Yuanzhen laughed even louder.
"Alright!"
He slapped the side of the carriage.
"Let's go!"
"Coming!"
Ye Hengchuan quickly climbed aboard.
The group set off, heading back toward the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Inside the carriage—
Yu Xiaogang lay beneath a blanket, still recovering from his injuries.
Although his face was pale, there was a faint sense of satisfaction in his expression.
"Yo, Xiaogang!"
Ye Hengchuan leaned in with a grin.
"You did well!"
"You've really made your father proud!"
He gave a big thumbs-up.
Yu Xiaogang scratched the back of his head shyly.
"Thank you, Uncle Ye…"
"But you deserve some credit too."
"Hahaha!"
Ye Hengchuan laughed heartily.
"Good boy!"
"Looks like I didn't help you for nothing!"
He patted his chest confidently.
"If you want to test anything else in the future, just come to me!"
"Even if your father doesn't agree—I'll take you anyway!"
"Hey! I'm still right here!"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice came from outside the carriage, filled with dissatisfaction.
The journey continued amidst laughter and lighthearted banter.
Meanwhile—
Back at the Sect—
Several Elders had already received the news.
Without delay, they set aside their affairs and headed toward the Sect Master's residence.
They weren't particularly concerned about Yu Xiaogang.
Not really.
What mattered more—
Were the accumulated matters within the Sect.
Yu Yuanzhen had been away for quite some time.
Naturally, many decisions had been delayed.
Still—
Curiosity lingered.
"I wonder how old his first spirit ring is," the Third Elder muttered as he walked.
"I just hope it isn't too low. Otherwise, all those resources would have been wasted."
Behind him—
His son, Yu Qingya, snorted coldly.
"Hmph. With Yu Xiaogang's talent, how strong could his spirit ring possibly be?"
"He just got lucky discovering the secret of Whale Glue."
"Otherwise, how could someone like him deserve treatment on the level of a Spirit Douluo?"
His tone was filled with jealousy.
As a talented Spirit Emperor—
He himself only received treatment comparable to a Spirit Saint.
Yet Yu Xiaogang—
A so-called "waste"—
Was being treated at the level of a Spirit Douluo.
How could he accept that?
"Enough!"
The Third Elder rebuked him sharply.
"Even if it was luck, it is still a contribution."
"And contributions must be rewarded."
"Otherwise, how can the Sect maintain its authority?"
Yu Qingya fell silent.
But the resentment in his eyes—
Did not fade.
Soon—
They arrived.
Several Elders gathered outside the Sect Master's residence.
Not long after—
A carriage slowly approached.
On the driver's seat—
Sat Yu Yuanzhen and Ye Hengchuan.
Both were laughing heartily.
The moment Yu Yuanzhen saw the Elders—
His eyes lit up.
"Elders!"
He greeted them warmly.
The Elders nodded.
"Sect Master, you've been away for quite some time."
"It seems you've had a good harvest?"
Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand casually.
"Nothing special."
"Just… barely passable."
The Elders' expressions twitched.
Barely passable?
Then why are you smiling like that?
But they didn't expose him.
Instead, they played along.
"So… how is Xiaogang?"
At that moment—
Ye Hengchuan stepped down from the carriage.
Carrying Yu Xiaogang on his back.
"Xiaogang was injured during the absorption process," Yu Yuanzhen explained.
"He hasn't fully recovered yet."
The Elders frowned slightly.
Injured?
Just as they were about to ask for more details—
A voice rang out.
Sharp.
Mocking.
Discordant.
"To get injured while absorbing a spirit ring…"
"He really is a waste."
Silence fell instantly.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression—
Darkened.
The cheerful atmosphere—
Collapsed.
And the storm—
Began to gather.
