[Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder were once again persuaded.]
[After all, Yu Xiaogang was right. Sooner or later, he would find a way to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring for himself.]
[When that happened, the corresponding 100,000-year soul beast would most likely drop a 100,000-year soul bone.]
[Such a soul bone would be the most suitable for Yu Xiaogang.]
[However, if Yu Xiaogang absorbed the 100,000-year Left Arm Bone dropped by the Moon Devouring Azure Wolf now, and the 100,000-year soul beast he hunted later also happened to drop another Left Arm Bone...]
[That would be disastrous.]
[An unsuitable 100,000-year soul bone occupying the slot meant for a soul bone that truly suited him would be a huge loss.]
[Therefore, the best choice for now was not to rush into absorbing the 100,000-year soul bone. He could wait until he had obtained all his soul rings. If his Left Arm Bone slot was still empty at that point, he could absorb it then.]
[Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder understood the logic after thinking about it for a moment.]
[But for some reason, they suddenly felt an urge to beat him up.]
["To think something like this exists in the world—someone actually obtains a 100,000-year soul bone and doesn't immediately absorb it."]
["Truly, if you live long enough, you really can see anything."]
[The Grand Elder stroked his beard with a strange expression.]
["Who could argue with that?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen nodded in agreement.]
[He had originally thought that his son would definitely absorb the soul bone this time, but Yu Xiaogang had once again found a reason to postpone it.]
[The worst part was that his reason was perfectly valid. Even Yu Yuanzhen had to agree with his decision after hearing it.]
["Fine. I'll keep this soul bone for you for now. I'll give it to you when you need it later."]
[Yu Yuanzhen stored the soul bone inside a storage soul tool and glanced at Yu Xiaogang.]
[Seeing that there wasn't even the slightest hint of reluctance on his son's face, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly felt a phantom toothache.]
[This son of his...]
[Although Yu Xiaogang had faced countless trials along the way, he had also witnessed sights at such a young age that ordinary Spirit Masters might never see in their entire lives.]
["I wonder what will happen when he finally becomes strong enough to truly travel the continent on his own?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen was already looking forward to the commotion his son would cause when he eventually traveled across the Douluo Continent.]
[Back when Yu Yuanzhen had traveled the continent himself, he had witnessed countless beautiful sights and faced numerous challenges.]
[Through constant battles, his name gradually spread from the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent to the ears of ordinary Spirit Masters.]
[It was only after he became a Titled Douluo and earned the title "Thunder" that he truly became a legendary figure throughout the Douluo Continent.]
[Without those journeys, even if he had become a Titled Douluo, ordinary Spirit Masters would have merely known that another Titled Douluo had appeared on the continent.]
[Beyond that, many people wouldn't even care what he looked like. They would simply avoid offending him in the future.]
[The only organization on the entire Douluo Continent capable of spreading someone's reputation was Spirit Hall. However, Spirit Hall obviously wouldn't help others build their fame.]
[Therefore, the geniuses born into the Upper Three Sects, Lower Four Sects, and even smaller powers would all travel across the continent after reaching a certain level of strength.]
[Besides broadening their horizons, traveling was also a way to establish their reputation and bring fame to their sects.]
[As Yu Yuanzhen's son and the person whom he and the other elders had already determined would eventually become the next Sect Master, Yu Xiaogang would naturally have to travel across the continent as well.]
[He would make his name known throughout the Douluo Continent and become a golden symbol of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[With his reputation, he would attract talented Spirit Masters to the sect and continuously strengthen its foundation.]
[This was something every genius from the Upper Three Sects had to do. To some extent, it was also their responsibility.]
["Hmph. I'm really looking forward to seeing how those old friends of mine react when my son travels across the continent and defeats one genius after another."]
[Yu Yuanzhen smiled expectantly.]
[Having successfully helped the Grand Elder obtain his ninth soul ring, the group's objective for this journey had been completed.]
[Learning the secret of becoming a god and reaching a cooperation agreement with Arou and the other soul beasts had been an unexpected bonus.]
[However, because of the Sky Azure Bull Python's Azure Silence Thunder, Yu Yuanzhen decided that it was necessary to deepen their cooperation with the soul beasts.]
[Therefore, Yu Yuanzhen wanted to remain permanently in the town they were currently staying in.]
[It wasn't far from the place where they had met Arou and the others, so he could visit them whenever he wanted to chat.]
["You clearly just want to escape your responsibilities as Sect Master."]
[Looking at Yu Yuanzhen's righteous expression, the Grand Elder complained inwardly.]
[After being together for so many years, the Grand Elder understood his Sect Master very well.]
[He knew that Yu Yuanzhen's main goal was to seek guidance from the Sky Azure Bull Python regarding Azure Silence Thunder. However, escaping his duties as Sect Master was definitely part of the plan as well.]
["Sigh. I hope Xiaogang grows up quickly and takes over as Sect Master."]
["With Xiaogang's scholarly personality, he probably won't be anything like the current Sect Master, right?"]
[The Grand Elder had no idea that the Yu Xiaogang he was placing his hopes on would become an even more troublesome person in the future. Still, he continued to look forward to that day.]
[Afterward, Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder escorted Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong to Spirit City.]
[After arriving in Spirit City, Yu Yuanzhen left for a while.]
[Judging from the direction he took, he was heading toward Spirit Hall.]
[Yu Xiaogang had a rough idea of what his father intended to do there.]
[This time, obtaining his Third Soul Ring had taken only two or three months, yet his spirit power had skyrocketed from Rank 30 to Rank 42.]
[With such an astonishing rate of improvement, his father definitely needed to inform the higher-ups of Spirit Hall in advance.]
[Otherwise, once Yu Yuanzhen left and Spirit Hall's leadership discovered Yu Xiaogang's current strength, his father would be the one facing all the questions and investigations.]
[Sure enough, half a day later, Yu Yuanzhen returned with an expression of complete satisfaction.]
["Hahaha! That fellow Qian Xunji used his higher rank to bully us when we were traveling the continent back then. This time, I finally got my revenge!"]
[The moment he returned, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.]
["Uh... Father, did you go to Spirit Hall just to pick a fight with His Holiness the Pope?"]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at him in surprise.]
["Of course! Xiaogang, you have no idea how arrogant Qian Xunji was when our generation was young."]
["He led Spirit Hall's Law Enforcement Team everywhere, hunting down wolf-taken and fallen Spirit Masters."]
["Spirit Hall possessed enormous resources, so Qian Xunji never lacked soul bones. Combined with his incredible talent, his rank was always higher than ours."]
["Every time we encountered that guy, he looked at us with such a condescending attitude, as if we were nothing more than insignificant insects."]
["He was always muttering about things like 'rule' and 'conquest.' His ambitions were certainly not small."]
["But now, he can't defeat me anymore! Hahaha! You should have seen the look on his face when he realized how powerful I have become."]
[Yu Yuanzhen laughed loudly as he recalled the scene of overpowering Qian Xunji.]
[From his father's tone, Yu Xiaogang could tell that he was genuinely delighted.]
["It seems His Holiness the Pope's conduct back then really was unpleasant."]
[Yu Xiaogang rubbed his chin thoughtfully.]
["For Father to remember it for so many years and then immediately go beat him up after becoming stronger..."]
[He paused for a moment before continuing.]
["And then there's what he said about ruling and conquest..."]
["Could it be that His Holiness the Pope actually intends to unify the entire Douluo Continent?"]
