Chapter 58 Yu Yuanzhen: I'm going to shock everyone!
People from both Douluo Continents were abuzz with discussion about Yu Xiaogang obtaining the first spirit ring in a thousand years.
Many people also had the idea of learning from Yu Xiaogang.
However, as soon as this idea came to mind, everyone glanced at Yu Yuanzhen next to Yu Xiaogang and then shook their heads.
Having a Title Douluo present when absorbing a spirit ring, who can save your life at any time, is a condition that not just anyone can have.
For a time, the topic of discussion among the crowd was limited to how extraordinary Yu Xiaogang was.
Besides that, most people are more curious about what kind of soul skills this first soul ring in a thousand years has given Yu Xiaogang.
[The video continues...]
When Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes again, the sunlight shone on him, and a warm feeling spread throughout his body.
[Yu Xiaogang had just tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, intense pain erupted throughout his body.]
"Ouch, that hurts!"
The pain swept through his entire body, rendering Yu Xiaogang instantly unable to move.
Even so, the pain still spread throughout his body, and it took him a long time to calm down.
"Hmph, so you do know pain now!"
Just then, a huffy voice came from behind. Yu Xiaogang turned his eyes and saw Yu Yuanzhen leaning against the door, looking at him with annoyance.
"Father, what's wrong with me?"
[Yu Xiaogang asked a question, and then the scene of him absorbing the first soul ring in a thousand years flashed through his mind.]
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, and he tried to circulate his soul power to summon the little dragon.
"Lie still!"
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to try, Yu Yuanzhen stepped forward and flicked Yu Xiaogang's forehead.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Although Yu Yuanzhen hadn't used much force with that flick, Yu Xiaogang was in pain all over his body, so he couldn't help but howl out loud.
"There's really not much good in your body right now."
"The impact of that thousand-year-old soul ring nearly caused your body to collapse countless times."
"It's thanks to your amazing willpower that you managed to endure it."
"Even so, the impact of the soul power in the soul ring on your body, along with the blood you lost over the past day and night, has combined to create your current extremely weak state."
"You should be grateful that we left the Star Dou Great Forest just in time for a large city, and there's a Soul Emperor with healing abilities in the city."
"If it weren't for him, I can't even imagine what your body would be like now."
Although Yu Yuanzhen spoke angrily, a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
After Yu Xiaogang absorbed the thousand-year soul ring and fainted, he examined the other person's body while carrying him away from the Star Dou Great Forest.
It really was just a tiny bit off.
"Remember this, and don't do it again!"
Despite the pain in his body, Yu Xiaogang smiled upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words.
"So, I really succeeded?"
Meeting Yu Xiaogang's expectant gaze, Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately softened.
"Yes, it worked!"
"You've achieved the first-ever soul ring in a millennium in the Douluo Continent."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up; this was unprecedented!
[I never imagined I could achieve such things; it truly feels like my life has been worthwhile!]
"However, don't be too happy yet. The path of a Soul Master's cultivation is never smooth sailing."
"You never know what dangers and problems await you ahead."
"So Xiaogang, don't rush things."
At this point, Yu Yuanzhen sat down next to Yu Xiaogang and straightened the corner of his blanket.
"Based on what you've shown so far, you can cultivate like a normal Soul Master in the future."
"From this day forward, no one will laugh at you anymore. Your innate first-level soul power is nothing compared to your first soul ring in a thousand years!"
Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly.
"Father, you no longer need to be reluctant to participate in various activities in the Douluo Continent just because you have me as your son."
"It's been several years now, and you've been turning down invitations from all sides."
The two great empires, the three upper sects, and Spirit Hall all hold various events every year.
For example, great empires would hold national founding celebrations, emperor's birthdays, and various other events.
The three upper sects and Spirit Hall also hold an awakening ceremony or many other events every year.
These events typically invite the strongest individuals from across the land.
As one of the three major sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan naturally receives invitations to various events.
Although whether or not to attend is entirely up to the individual, and the various factions won't feel embarrassed if one faction doesn't show up, participating in this kind of event is still very worthwhile.
[Contact friends and build relationships with other factions. These events usually include auctions where rare and precious items are sold.]
Sometimes, even soul bones appear at auctions.
It's fair to say that, unless there's a genuine emergency, most people in the Douluo Continent's upper echelons will still make time to attend these kinds of social events.
However, over the years, Yu Yuanzhen has never participated in these kinds of activities; the sect's second elder has always gone in his place.
Yu Xiaogang knew that Yu Yuanzhen didn't want people to gossip about him.
[But now things are better. His first spirit ring is a thousand years old. Yu Yuanzhen can use this as a topic of discussion among various forces.]
"Haha, you've hit the nail on the head!"
"Ever since I had that argument with my old rival during the Soul Master Competition, I haven't felt like attending any of those gatherings."
"Hmph, when I go to that party next time, I'll scare them half to death!"
[Just thinking about this makes Yu Yuanzhen angry, but the thought that in the future, others will be the ones feeling angry and envious, makes him feel better.]
Back then, you all said my son wasn't good enough, and I couldn't argue with you.
But from now on, when I boast about my son to you, or nitpick at your descendants, you'd better be like I was back then—just get angry, don't take action.
Thinking this through, Yu Yuanzhen was already imagining how he would communicate with his old rivals.
Looking at Yu Yuanzhen, who was already fantasizing about the future and occasionally chuckling to himself, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and lay down on the bed.
[First Soul Ring, Thousand Years.]
Having achieved this level of success, I have already turned around my incredibly terrible start.
However, just as Yu Yuanzhen said before, the path of cultivation is never smooth sailing, and there will definitely be a lot of troubles waiting for him to solve in the future.
Just like Xiaolong, Yu Xiaogang is now particularly eager to see what kind of changes Xiaolong has undergone.
After all, Xiaolong helped relieve a significant portion of his pressure during the process of absorbing the spirit ring.
[Without Xiaolong, I would never have succeeded.]
During this period, Xiaolong's body also evolved, but he has no idea what it ultimately became.
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became. But with his father around, Yu Xiaogang was forbidden from all movement, which made him feel depressed.
"Ugh, why can't I summon the little dragon now?!"
