Chapter 61 Ye Hengchuan: How much! ! !
No one knows the resentment in Yu Xiaogang's heart. Even if others knew, they would probably be surprised that he could still shift the blame onto others after all this.
That's really amazing.
[The video continues...]
After playing with Xiaolong in the carriage for a while, Yu Xiaogang recalled Xiaolong without trying to use his acquired soul skill.
Although he was very curious about his soul skills, Yu Xiaogang's body wasn't fully recovered yet. He would leave these attempts until he returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and was completely healed.
[Anyway, the spirit ring is already on me; it's there, it can't run away.]
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had no intention of trying out his soul skills, Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction.
With his current physical condition, summoning his martial soul is already his limit; Yu Yuanzhen would not allow him to attempt anything else.
And so, lying in the carriage, Yu Xiaogang thoroughly enjoyed a life of being waited on hand and foot.
[And the one who feeds him every day is none other than Yu Yuanzhen, a titled Douluo.]
These days are simply too good to be true.
However, this period of peace did not last long; soon, the father and son returned to Blue Lightning City.
Upon entering Blue Lightning City, the two first arrived at the Thunder Dragon Hall.
Before Yu Xiaogang set off to obtain his first spirit ring, Ye Hengchuan volunteered to help him.
Unfortunately, he eventually learned that Yu Yuanzhen was planning to take action personally, and thus he gave up the idea.
Even so, Ye Hengchuan instructed Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang to visit him when they returned and tell him about Yu Xiaogang's first spirit ring.
In Ye Hengchuan's eyes, Yu Xiaogang was a bright, meticulous, observant, and determined young man with a strong will to become stronger.
Given Yu Xiaogang's determination, he would never casually add a spirit ring to himself.
The spirit beast he chooses must be very strong, and the lifespan of its spirit rings must be the limit he can withstand.
Therefore, Ye Hengchuan wanted to find out from Yu Xiaogang exactly what the limit was for absorbing the ten-thousand-year Whale Glue to create his first soul ring.
Ye Hengchuan also has his own descendants, and he wants to use Yu Xiaogang's case as a reference to set a standard for his descendants.
Upon entering Thunder Dragon Hall, Yu Yuanzhen immediately spotted Ye Hengchuan dozing off behind the counter.
With a sigh, Yu Yuanzhen wore a helpless expression, silently approached Ye Hengchuan, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
"Time to get up!"
The sudden attack sent chills down Ye Hengchuan's spine. As a Soul Saint, even though he was dozing off, Ye Hengchuan still possessed basic awareness of his surroundings.
But this attack was one he hadn't sensed at all before, how could it not fill him with terror?
However, this fear quickly dissipated, and Ye Hengchuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's voice.
"It's you, big brother! You scared me to death!"
Ye Hengchuan, having stood up, glanced at Yu Yuanzhen with annoyance, then looked behind him.
"Where's Xiaogang?"
"He was slightly injured in the carriage outside and couldn't get off easily. That's why I came here – I wanted you to get him some good medicine to help him recover."
Yu Yuanzhen calmly picked up the teacup Ye Hengchuan had placed on the table, and without any sign of displeasure, took a sip.
"Xiao Gang is injured? What happened?"
Ye Hengchuan was immediately startled upon hearing this.
[Yu Xiaogang went to obtain the spirit ring with Yu Yuanzhen, so he shouldn't have been injured.]
"When that kid was absorbing a spirit ring, he tried one with a relatively high age, and he almost couldn't withstand it, so he got injured."
Yu Yuanzhen ignored the surprise on Ye Hengchuan's face, his expression remaining as calm as still water.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that Yu Yuanzhen is currently making a concerted effort to suppress the urge to smile.
"Were the spirit rings you tried relatively old?"
Ye Hengchuan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Based on his understanding of Yu Xiaogang, when that kid acquired a spirit ring, he definitely wanted the one with the highest possible age.
But given Yu Xiaogang's intelligence, he should be able to figure out where his limits lie.
[In this situation, he was so injured that he could only lie in the carriage, unable even to get off and meet me?]
[Especially considering they're already back in Blue Lightning City, how serious must their injuries be?]
"It's probably because the suitable age for a soul beast has exceeded the limit."
"Xiao Gang is very determined to become stronger. He has always wanted to help you, Big Brother, wash away the humiliation you have suffered over the years."
"When we first discovered Whale Glue, I noticed that Xiaogang had a kind of energy that wasn't typical for his age."
"As long as he has this drive, he will eventually become a strong person."
"I imagined that time when you, brother, would be able to accept invitations from all sides without hesitation."
"I still remember what those old guys said to you and Xiao Gang at the Soul Master Conference that year. Just wait and see, one day, Xiao Gang will help you regain your dignity!"
Ye Hengchuan first glanced at Yu Yuanzhen with a worried expression, then spoke of Yu Xiaogang, a look of deep emotion on his face.
[Towards the end, when the topic of Yu Yuanzhen being ridiculed came up, Ye Hengchuan's anger was clearly visible.]
During this time, Yu Yuanzhen listened quietly, nodding in agreement from time to time.
[His earnest expression was like that of a child learning about the Douluo Continent for the first time from their family.]
Finally, when Ye Hengchuan mentioned the invitations from various forces, Yu Yuanzhen also showed an expectant expression.
[Besides, after Ye Hengchuan finished speaking, Yu Yuanzhen smacked his lips twice, clearly still wanting more.]
"Xiaogang is indeed a smart and sensible child."
"I believe that with his intelligence and talent, even if he were born into an ordinary family, he could eventually become a strong person."
"Becoming my son has brought Xiaogang many conveniences, but it has also put a lot of pressure on him because of my identity."
[Yu Yuanzhen said.]
"Hey, brother, you're getting all sentimental. If any of my young men could make me look good like Xiaogang, I'd be laughing in my sleep."
"Haha, your family's young people are quite good too. But when it comes to making me proud, I don't deny that Xiaogang has really made me proud."
Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Ye Hengchuan pursed his lips, picked up his teacup, and then suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, after all this talk, you still haven't told me how many years it took for Xiao Gang's first spirit ring to grow."
["Hehe, not many years, just over a thousand years."]
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Ye Hengchuan with a smile.
"Oh, a little over a thousand years, not bad, not bad."
Ye Hengchuan nodded, then drank the tea from the cup.
[The next second.]
[puff--]
[Having regained his senses, Ye Hengchuan spat out all the tea in his mouth, spraying it everywhere.]
After finishing his rant, Ye Hengchuan didn't even have time to clean himself up. He turned around, his eyes wide, and stared directly at Yu Yuanzhen, who was grinning.
["How many?!!!!"]
