Chapter 26 The Triumphant Yu Yuanzhen and the Dejected Yu Yuanzhen
"Hahaha, good, excellent! Xiaogang, you truly live up to your reputation as Yu Yuanzhen's son!"
Yu Yuanzhen's laughter echoed throughout the room, his flushed face a testament to his extreme excitement.
He couldn't help but get excited.
[As a Title Douluo, one stands at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.]
At this point, Yu Yuanzhen and his group of Title Douluos had essentially reached their peak strength, so what they cared about were other things.
For example, one's sect, or one's family.
For example, one's own face.
[Yu Yuanzhen, formerly the only Title Douluo of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the three upper sects, possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the number one beast martial soul in the world.]
Wherever he went, he was respected and admired by everyone.
But with the birth of Yu Xiaogang, everything changed.
The eyes of those who once revered and admired him now held a hint of doubt.
[In the eyes of those who fawned over him, there was also a subtle hint of mockery.]
Even within his own family, Yu Yuanzhen could overhear his clansmen discussing him.
Although Yu Yuanzhen was annoyed by the gazes of these people, he was helpless to do anything about it.
He can't just kill everyone outright, can he?
As for what is strictly prohibited, such things cannot be prohibited; in fact, the more Yu Yuanzhen forbids them, the more intense the discussion becomes.
Later on, Yu Yuanzhen even got used to it all.
[As Yu Xiaogang's martial soul awakened, the discussions and stares from these people intensified considerably.]
Why did Yu Yuanzhen apply for genius status for Yu Xiaogang?
[Besides Yu Xiaogang's own determination to become stronger, Yu Yuanzhen also wanted Yu Xiaogang to grow up and prove those people wrong with his results.]
[And now, Yu Xiaogang hasn't even started cultivating for very long, yet he's already produced something unprecedented in the Douluo Continent—something that can increase the time limit for acquiring spirit rings.]
With such wisdom and ability, how dare you still ridicule my son?
[Mocking his talent?]
[If you're so capable, then don't use whale glue to increase the age of the soul rings you can obtain!]
Thinking of this, Yu Yuanzhen looked at the elders present.
"Haha, how about it, elders? Now we can give Xiaogang a proper treatment, right?"
"Based on this discovery alone, my son Yu Xiaogang deserves not only the treatment of a genius, but also the treatment of a Soul Saint or Soul Douluo!"
Yu Yuanzhen raised his head, looking at the elders with a smug expression.
[It's not that great, it's not really that great.]
Look, this is my son, my son, Yu Yuanzhen's son!
Even with limited talent, he was able to discover things that could change the entire Douluo Continent.
[For this alone, my son is worthy of being remembered throughout the entire Douluo Continent.]
Do any of you have a son like this?
Haha, no, not a single one!
Even if your sons and grandsons are Soul Emperors or Soul Saints, so what?
In the future history of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, their names will be nothing but grains of sand, while my son's name will shine like a jewel!
In the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Looking at Yu Yuanzhen, who was beaming with pride in the sky, the elders in the room felt they couldn't bear to look at him.
They turned their gaze to Yu Yuanzhen, only to find him staring blankly at the sky, as if he had lost his soul.
If we're both Yu Yuanzhen, then at this moment, who can best understand Yu Yuanzhen's feelings in the sky? It's definitely him.
He once suffered ridicule from others because of his son, Yu Xiaogang.
So he knew very well what that feeling was like.
As a Title Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen was very concerned about his reputation.
Unfortunately, Yu Yuanzhen completely lost face in his life because of Yu Xiaogang.
He had fantasized countless times about how wonderful it would be if Yu Xiaogang could awaken a better martial soul and higher innate soul power when his martial soul awakened.
Or perhaps Yu Xiaogang defied fate and, with his half-level innate soul power, became a powerful figure, slapping the faces of all those who mocked him.
Even if Yu Xiaogang can't achieve anything as a Soul Master, it would be good if he could achieve something in other areas to prove himself.
But there was nothing, absolutely nothing.
Even if Yu Xiaogang is known as a master by the outside world, others may not know the truth, but how could people from powerful families not know?
He compiled and published some basic knowledge that everyone in the Douluo Continent knew, and it became his masterpiece.
He learned knowledge from his family's library that major powers were unwilling to disclose, and by doing so, he made it public, and thus became a master.
His actions not only failed to save face for him, but actually made him lose even more face.
Therefore, when Yu Yuanzhen saw the Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang in the sky discover whale glue, a substance whose miraculous effects no one had ever known before, he was already filled with bitterness.
This is the kind of thing that can truly help a person gain a reputation that everyone will remember.
His achievements have earned him the genuine title of "Master" from everyone!
"Sigh, why? Why can't my son be Xiaogang from the sky screen, instead of this damned master?"
Yu Yuanzhen muttered to himself, his voice trembling with a hint of tears.
The elders, who were sharp-eyed and perceptive, naturally heard Yu Yuanzhen's unconscious mutterings. They exchanged glances and then fell silent.
At this time, it's best not to attack Yu Yuanzhen.
However, at the same time, they also envied themselves in the sky.
Yes, why isn't that Dragon God Douluo from their world?
[The video continues...]
Yu Yuanzhen's smugness and smile infuriated the elders, but they were powerless to refute him.
In the cultivation of a Soul Master, the acquisition of soul rings is of paramount importance. It can be said that the quality of the soul rings acquired determines a Soul Master's future.
Why is it that sometimes, even with similar martial souls and Soul Masters of the same level, there can be vastly different skill levels?
This is because the age difference of the spirit rings is too great.
Therefore, when acquiring spirit rings, which Soul Master doesn't try to obtain as many as possible?
Currently, the highest age at which a Douluo Continent character can obtain their first spirit ring is over four hundred years, and the highest age at which they can obtain their second spirit ring is over seven hundred years.
However, the presence of just one type of whale glue alone significantly surpasses existing records for this age.
Based on the experimental records, the Soul Master named Wang Dachui didn't seem to have particularly good talent.
He only acquired his first spirit ring at the age of sixteen or seventeen; a spirit ring that is two or three hundred years old is basically his limit.
[However, after consuming whale glue, he was able to acquire a spirit ring of approximately 550 years, which is longer than the first spirit ring age of all current Title Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent.]
Furthermore, judging from the absorption process, this is not yet his limit.
Does this mean that his first spirit ring will be a 600-year-old spirit ring?
When he gets his second spirit ring, won't he be able to directly obtain a nine-hundred-year-old spirit ring?
If a commoner Soul Master is like this, what about the Soul Masters of these powerful families?
[The first spirit ring lasting seven hundred years, the second spirit ring a mere thousand years?]
The thought of the family's future Soul Masters being able to directly obtain a second soul ring that lasts a thousand years made all the elders feel breathless.
If they could have such a future, how glorious would the future of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan be?
