Chapter 11 Yu Yuanzhen: The're both Yu Yuanzhen, so why is his son so much better?
But things aren't always that easy.
After being reincarnated, Yu Xiaogang had no idea what would happen in the future Douluo Continent.
What he knew, among many other things, was that he himself had very little talent.
From birth until now, five years of aimless living have made Yu Yuanzhen a laughingstock to everyone.
[Once his martial soul awakens, will he remain a stain on Yu Yuanzhen's life for many years to come?]
[When Yu Xiaogang thought about how much Yu Yuanzhen had cared for him over the years, he didn't want such a thing to happen.]
I'd rather die than do that!
Therefore, not long after regaining his senses, Yu Xiaogang expressed his desire to cultivate to Yu Yuanzhen.
The dark world, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Fengzhi, does that mean that starting to cultivate before awakening your martial soul is actually useful?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said with some doubt and uncertainty.
If it were someone else, he would definitely say that cultivating before the martial soul awakens is useless.
This is a rule that has been passed down in the Douluo Continent for countless years.
But Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang is different.
He is the counterpart of Master Yu Xiaogang. How could these people not know what's going on with Master Yu Xiaogang?
The video of Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang playing on the screen shows that his life from birth to the present is actually no different from Yu Xiaogang's, and even worse.
This comparison is formed by the same people making different choices.
Then they had to wonder if every choice that Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang made that was different from ordinary people was the condition that allowed him to defy fate.
"This..."
Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to make a judgment for a moment.
After all, this was an idea proposed by a future Title Douluo when he was young.
"Let's wait and see; we'll find out the answer later."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin said.
Aside from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and all other forces across the Douluo Continent focused their attention on the sky at this moment.
Everyone wanted to know whether the training before the awakening of their martial soul was useful, as it concerned how they would all train in the future.
[The video continues...]
[Yu Xiaogang's words and his dejected expression prompted Yu Yuanzhen to step forward, squat down, and place his hand on Yu Xiaogang's head.]
"Silly son, don't worry, you will never be a stain on my life."
Yu Yuanzhen spoke with a smile on his face, but his words were firm and powerful.
If he truly considered Yu Xiaogang a stain on his reputation, then he would have sent Yu Xiaogang away shortly after his birth.
Yu Yuanzhen's words warmed Yu Xiaogang's heart. Feeling the strength of the hand on his head, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and shook the hand away.
"You may not care, but I can't. So, even if it might not work, I want to give it a try."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was very firm.
Looking into his son's eyes, Yu Yuanzhen understood that he was serious.
Yu Yuanzhen was gratified by Yu Xiaogang's thoughtfulness; he felt his love for his son hadn't been in vain.
"Cultivation is extremely painful. Are you sure you can endure it?"
["Certainly!"]
So the next day.
"Run! You think you can get stronger if you're this slow?"
On the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's training ground exclusively for Yu Yuanzhen, five-year-old Yu Xiaogang began his running training under the serious gaze of Yu Yuanzhen.
According to Yu Yuanzhen, start with running, and if you can stick with that, then try other sports.
[Running lap after lap, Yu Xiaogang's throat was dry and tight. The air he inhaled felt like ice shards scraping across his throat, while the air he exhaled felt burning hot.]
Sweat streamed down his forehead, his clothes clung to his body, and a chilly wind made him feel hot, yet his body was also burning up. This constant switching between hot and cold was unbearable.
My steps grew increasingly unsteady, my body felt heavier and heavier, my legs felt like lead, and each lift brought on aches and pains in my muscles.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang longed to stop and rest, or perhaps crawl back into his warm bed for a good night's sleep.
But the thought of my future, of becoming someone others ridicule, is unbearable.
The thought that others would use him to mock Yu Yuanzhen made Yu Xiaogang grit his teeth and force himself to persevere.
["Alright!"]
Yu Yuanzhen, who had been watching Yu Xiaogang's movements closely, noticed that Yu had reached his limit and stopped the morning's running training.
Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's voice, Yu Xiaogang almost immediately collapsed to the ground, too weak to even move a finger.
["Not bad!"]
Yu Yuanzhen offered a word of praise, but in reality, he was quite surprised.
He initially thought Yu Xiaogang's words yesterday were just empty talk, and that today's training would definitely scare him.
But in the end, Yu Xiaogang persevered.
[If ordinary families trained five-year-olds, or even older, like this, they would have already cried and run back to their parents.]
But Yu Xiaogang never uttered a word about wanting to give up from beginning to end. Even though his legs were trembling from running, he didn't stop.
At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but think of the offspring of the powerful figures he knew, such as the two sons of the Clear Sky Sect Master.
Those two were undeniably talented, but how could the astute Yu Yuanzhen not see that the brothers' character had been tarnished by the praise they received?
If this isn't corrected, they'll both run into trouble sooner or later.
Thinking of this, and looking at his son who was exhausted, Yu Yuanzhen felt a surge of pride.
[The Clear Sky Twins? Hmph, my own son is in no way inferior to them!]
The dark world, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen stared blankly at himself in the sky.
The other person's pride was completely undisguised; he could see it clearly and understood exactly what the other person was proud of.
Put yourself in his shoes; if it were him, he would be just as proud.
Both are Yu Yuanzhen, and both have a son, Yu Xiaogang. The other's son is only five years old, but he is already able to consider his father's feelings.
In order not to become a stain on his father's life, the other party took the initiative to start cultivating at the age of five.
Furthermore, he did not cry or make a fuss during the cultivation process, and he did not give up. No matter how painful it was, he gritted his teeth and persevered to the end.
This persistence and this mindset prove that what the other party said before was serious; he really wanted to help Yu Yuanzhen of that world wash away his stains.
Looking at the other person's son, and then thinking back to his own son, a sour feeling filled his mouth.
Yu Yuanzhen never imagined that one day the object of his jealousy would be another version of himself.
They're both sons, so why is his son so much better?
