Chapter 72 Yu Xiaogang at Level 20
After another fierce battle, Yu Xiaogang was completely exhausted and lay sprawled on the ground, spread-eagled.
Little Dragon, panting heavily, lay sprawled on Yu Xiaogang's stomach, looking completely unwilling to move.
Looking at the man and the dragon, Yu Yuanzhen almost laughed.
"Have you decided what kind of spirit beast you want for your second spirit ring?"
Yu Yuanzhen suddenly spoke up and asked.
Just a few days ago, Yu Xiaogang successfully reached level 20 in soul power.
To be honest, this speed completely exceeded Yu Yuanzhen's and the sect elders' expectations.
The sect keeps records of the cultivation speed of its genius Soul Masters.
Geniuses born with full soul power generally reach level 20 within two to three years after obtaining their first soul ring.
After Yu Xiaogang obtained his first spirit ring, he reached level 20 in just two years.
Although Yu Xiaogang's first spirit ring had a very high age limit, which allowed him to level up significantly after acquiring the new spirit ring.
Even so, this speed is simply too fast.
You should know that Yu Xiaogang's innate soul power was only level one at the beginning!
"It's still a dragon-type spirit beast, but this time the requirements for attributes can be relaxed."
Yu Xiaogang sat up and said.
Since learning about Little Dragon's specific attributes, Yu Xiaogang's research became much more purposeful.
If we're only talking about light-attribute soul beasts, there are quite a lot of them in the Douluo Continent.
But what Yu Xiaogang cares about most now is getting Little Dragon to complete its true evolution.
Therefore, his first criterion for selecting spirit beasts remains dragon-type spirit beasts.
Furthermore, it would be even better if the dragon-type soul beast encountered was of the light attribute.
"What about the time limit?"
Yu Yuanzhen then asked this more important question.
With the example of the first spirit ring in a millennium, Yu Yuanzhen and the sect elders paid close attention to Yu Xiaogang.
Every so often, they would personally assess Yu Xiaogang's physical strength and find suitable Soul Masters for comparison.
Therefore, Yu Yuanzhen and the others were able to clearly determine that Yu Xiaogang's current physical strength far exceeded that of an ordinary three-ring Great Soul Master.
Very close to the strength of a four-ring Soul Master.
This result still stirs the emotions of the elders every time they think about it.
After all, when Yu Xiaogang acquired his first spirit ring, Yu Yuanzhen determined that his physical strength was suitable for absorbing a spirit ring that had been around for about eight hundred years.
But then he pulled a fast one: he absorbed a thousand-year-old soul ring.
Now, they assess that Yu Xiaogang's physical strength is approaching that of a fourth-ring Soul Master.
Doesn't that mean Yu Xiaogang's second spirit ring can be obtained by comparing its age to that of a typical four-ring spirit master?
"Around four thousand years, or about five thousand if you include Little Dragon helping me share the cost!"
Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist, revealing a confident expression.
This choice was made after careful consideration and was considered somewhat conservative by Yu Xiaogang.
If you don't push yourself with your first spirit ring, your life will remain the same.
With the foundation of the first spirit ring, there's no need to work so hard to obtain the second spirit ring.
Even so, Yu Xiaogang's choice made Yu Yuanzhen take a deep breath.
"A second spirit ring that lasts five thousand years, Xiao Gang. Given your situation, you wouldn't be getting a ten-thousand-year spirit ring for your third spirit ring, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Why not? Compared to the dangers of choosing the first spirit ring, I'm just following the proper steps now."
"Father, think about it. If you find a normal Soul Master and remove their first two soul rings, their situation is actually quite similar to mine."
"Ordinary Soul Masters take a little over a thousand years for their third soul ring, around four thousand years for their fourth, and ten thousand years for their fifth."
"Isn't this just me following the proper steps in my cultivation?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, especially his matter-of-fact tone, Yu Yuanzhen remained speechless for a long time.
Thinking about it, following Yu Xiaogang's words, it does seem to be true.
But why do I feel so angry when I hear him say that?
"However, just in case, I might need to be more specific about the spirit beast I choose for my second spirit ring."
Just as Yu Yuanzhen was about to ask about other things, Yu Xiaogang suddenly changed the subject and started talking about the choice of spirit beast for the second spirit ring.
"What's the meaning?"
"Father, have you forgotten? What's the biggest difference between a ten-thousand-year spirit ring and a thousand-year spirit ring?"
Yu Xiaogang picked up Little Dragon and got up from the ground.
"You mean, soul tremor?"
Yu Yuanzhen slapped his forehead, realizing how he had forgotten.
"That's right, the biggest difference between a thousand-year soul ring and a ten-thousand-year soul ring is the soul tremor."
"Soul Masters not only have to withstand the impact of the soul power within the soul rings on their bodies, but also the impact of the resentment of the soul beasts within the soul rings on their souls."
"As for my physical condition, I shouldn't have any problems by then."
"But when it comes to the soul and spirit, I've read so many books over the years, and I haven't seen any concrete methods for improving them."
"So I can only use my brain on the spirit rings I acquire."
Yu Xiaogang stroked Little Dragon's head in his arms, making it drowsy.
Regarding the acquisition of the second spirit ring, he had already set his sights on it long before he learned that acquiring a ten-thousand-year spirit ring would involve soul tremors.
Dragon-type spirit beasts, a type with powerful spiritual energy. In terms of attributes, light attribute is preferred, but not essential.
Through the second spirit ring, one enhances the strength of their soul and spirit, laying a foundation for the third spirit ring.
"...Never mind, from now on, just tell me your choice of spirit rings when you're ready to set off."
"My brain, as a Title Douluo, is practically nonexistent in your presence."
Yu Yuanzhen shook his head, looking helpless.
Honestly, every time Yu Yuanzhen discusses future plans with Yu Xiaogang or talks about the contents of books, he feels a little frustrated.
Logically speaking, as a Title Douluo, I should have a wealth of knowledge in my mind.
However, in front of Yu Xiaogang, a child who was only ten years old, Yu Yuanzhen could feel a sense of being crushed by knowledge.
It's as if I'm some kind of ignorant and incompetent person.
Am I myself?
Isn't that right?
Yu Yuanzhen couldn't tell the difference, but he planned to visit Ye Hengchuan when he had time.
Although Yu Yuanzhen always felt overwhelmed in front of his son.
But in front of Ye Hengchuan, it was simply a matter of enjoying the thrill of crushing others.
Besides enjoying the feeling of crushing Ye Hengchuan, Yu Yuanzhen could also routinely brag about his son in front of him.
Every time Yu Yuanzhen saw Ye Hengchuan's envious and jealous expression, he was able to happily eat two more large bowls of rice.
