Chapter 89 Yu Xiaogang: I hate socializing the most!
"Is there something you want to discuss with me? What is it?"
Qian Xunji showed a curious expression.
["When my son was born, for some reason, his soul was unstable, causing him to be in a daze all day long."]
"He only recovered thanks to divine intervention on the eve of his martial soul awakening."
"Although his spirit has recovered, his natural talent remains poor. His martial soul has undergone a malignant mutation, and he only possesses innate level one soul power. I have been troubled by this for many years."
Yu Yuanzhen remarked with considerable emotion, "Given Yu Xiaogang's current situation, who could have imagined that he had such a difficult start back then?"
[On the other side, Qian Xunji and his two companions raised their eyebrows upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, wondering what kind of medicine this man was selling.]
Isn't this something that all the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent know?
[Especially after your son obtained his first spirit ring, you emphasized how he successfully defied fate.]
["Your Holiness the Pope should know that my son's first spirit ring was a thousand-year-old spirit ring, and his second spirit ring was also a thousand-year-old spirit ring."]
"The addition of two millennium-old spirit rings has allowed his malignantly mutated martial soul to evolve somewhat."
"Then we discovered that his martial soul attribute had changed from the lightning attribute of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon to the light attribute."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji suddenly understood.
[This means he wants to arrange for his son to study at the Spirit Hall.]
[Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, the Qian family truly possesses the most profound understanding of the light attribute.]
Bibi Dong, listening to her teacher's words, curiously looked Yu Xiaogang up and down.
[After their encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest, she learned about Yu Xiaogang's situation.]
She had initially thought that she and the other person were from completely different worlds.
However, when she heard from the other party again, she suddenly learned that the other party's first spirit ring was actually a thousand-year spirit ring.
[My first spirit ring is only a hundred-year spirit ring, yet someone with far less talent than me has a more powerful spirit ring?]
Therefore, Bibi Dong inevitably remembered Yu Xiaogang.
[Having met this person today, I haven't noticed anything particularly different about him than what you'd expect.]
"Sect Master Yu, the research on light attributes is a closely guarded secret of our Spirit Hall."
"Even if you join our Spirit Hall, not everyone can learn this."
Qian Xunji's tone was cryptic and enigmatic.
But both Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang understood.
Want to learn? Sure, you can exchange something for it.
What the entire Douluo Continent covets most about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now is no longer their sect's inheritance or anything like that.
What people value most is the secret formula that can increase the age of spirit rings.
"In that case, let Xiao Gang study here with you, and our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is willing to provide a secret medicine to improve a Soul Master's physique."
[Yu Yuanzhen spoke.]
"Hmph, Sect Master Yu, you're not here to sincerely negotiate with us."
Qian Xunji shook his head and smiled.
"You think you can teach your son these secret techniques from our Spirit Hall with just one copy? You're underestimating the preciousness of our Spirit Hall's heritage."
Qian Xunji stared at Yu Yuanzhen, his expression completely calm and collected.
However, Yu Yuanzhen would not be fooled by his appearance.
"Two portions at most, Your Holiness the Pope. You should think carefully. This secret recipe can only be obtained from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"The person next to you must be Bibi Dong, your disciple with twin martial souls, right?"
"I imagine you'll give her a portion of the secret medicine you obtained, and then leave a portion for your descendants."
"Besides her, who else could possibly receive a gift from Your Holiness the Pope?"
Yu Yuanzhen held up two fingers, as if to say that this was his bottom line.
As he spoke, he glanced at Bibi Dong.
"...Very well, two portions it is. But Sect Leader Yu, I need these two portions to be the same as the ones for your young master."
"Although both methods can increase the age of a spirit ring, yours is far more effective than others. I'm sure you wouldn't deny that, would you?"
Yu Yuanzhen remained silent, which was a presupposition of Qian Xunji's question.
"Very well, it's settled then. Two portions of the secret medicine will be exchanged for your son's opportunity to study at our Spirit Hall."
"I hope your son can get what he wants."
[As he spoke, Qian Xunji gestured for a waiter to bring over wine glasses. He and Yu Yuanzhen each picked up a glass, and their glasses clinked together, signifying the success of the negotiations.]
[Having completed the most important task, the banquet is next.]
As the hosts, Qian Xunji and his companions naturally couldn't be absent; they needed to remain in the center of the group at all times.
As the sect leader of the three upper sects, Yu Yuanzhen was also a powerful Title Douluo, and many people came to talk to him.
[Because it was his first time participating in such an event with Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang inevitably attracted the attention of many guests.]
From the moment Yu Xiaogang was born, stories about him circulated among the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent.
[Initially, it embarrassed Yu Yuanzhen, but later it helped Yu Yuanzhen regain his face, and incidentally shocked the entire Douluo Continent.]
[It can be said that although no one had ever met him in person, everyone present was very familiar with the name Yu Xiaogang.]
Now that the person in question has finally shown up, they'd better take a good look at what kind of person he really is.
[Following Yu Yuanzhen in dealing with the coming and going guests, Yu Xiaogang needs to maintain a smile throughout.]
In addition, Yu Xiaogang also has to personally answer people's questions about his first spirit ring.
Anyway, it didn't take long for his smile to become a little stiff.
Watching his father's twitching lips as he saw one friend leave and another arrive, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but silently give his father a thumbs up.
[As expected of my father, although he was also struggling to cope, he pretended to be completely unaffected.]
[That is to say, as Yu Yuanzhen's son, Yu Xiaogang was exceptionally familiar with his father; otherwise, he wouldn't have realized that his father was also nearing the end.]
After dealing with another wave of questions, Yu Xiaogang looked around and decided to find a place to hide.
He felt that if this continued, he might reveal his true nature and start throwing a tantrum on the ground.
While Yu Yuanzhen was talking to someone else, Yu Xiaogang secretly took a few steps back and then walked straight towards a corner of the banquet hall, near the balcony.
Reaching the balcony door, Yu Xiaogang opened it a crack and nimbly slipped inside.
The next second, as the evening breeze ruffled his hair, Yu Xiaogang felt all his previous frustration vanish.
He glanced at his tuxedo and then vigorously performed a few calisthenics movements; it was just too cramped, otherwise he definitely would have done a couple of somersaults.
["Cool!"]
[Letting out a long sigh, Yu Xiaogang had just wanted to lean on the balcony for a moment to rest and enjoy the evening breeze.]
[However.]
["Puff."]
The barely perceptible laughter beside him made Yu Xiaogang stiffen.
He slowly turned his head, and then, in the corner of the balcony, he saw Bibi Dong, one hand holding a snack, the other covering her mouth, staring at him helplessly.
