Chapter 145: Yu Xiaogang Wants to Study Soul Bones
[After finishing the notes, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to the pile of Soul Bones.]
["Father, can I take some of these ten-year and hundred-year Soul Bones?"]
[Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen.]
["What do you plan to do? Study these Soul Bones?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen's brows shot up.]
["Yes, I'm a bit curious about these Soul Bones."]
[Yu Xiaogang nodded.]
[Yu Xiaogang had always felt that Soul Bones were quite wondrous.]
[A Soul Beast has so many bones, yet when one drops a Soul Bone, it only ever drops a single piece.]
[And the probability of it dropping is extremely small.]
[Moreover, except for External Soul Bones, the dropped Soul Bones are always for one of six fixed body parts.]
[Setting aside whether certain Soul Beasts even have those parts.]
[Just the fact that plant-type Spirit Beasts can drop Soul Bones was already quite abstract in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.]
[Who has ever heard of a flower or a plant growing bones?]
[In any case, Yu Xiaogang had always been very curious about Soul Bones.]
[Unfortunately, he didn't have any Soul Bones to study before.]
[Now, he had suddenly obtained such a large pile of Soul Bones, and most importantly, there was a large amount of ten-year and hundred-year Soul Bones among them.]
[Soul Bones are just like Soul Rings; once a Soul Master absorbs one, it can never be changed.]
[Therefore, for Soul Masters with ambitions, the minimum Soul Bone they would accept is a Millennial Spirit Bone.]
[Hundred-year Soul Bones are likely only absorbed by those with average backgrounds or in cases where the Soul Bone itself has some unique properties.]
[As for the even lower ten-year Soul Bones, only commoner Spirit Masters would absorb them.]
[Regardless, for their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, there's a high probability that no one among the upper echelons would absorb these hundred-year Soul Bones, and they wouldn't even spare a glance at the ten-year ones.]
[By not absorbing them, they still have the chance to obtain Millennial or even ten thousand year spirit bones.]
[But once absorbed, they would never have the chance to change it in the future.]
[So, to him, these ten-year and hundred-year Soul Bones were materials he could get his hands on for research.]
["You can take the ten-year Soul Bones as you please. For hundred-year Soul Bones, those with lower years are fine, but anything over five hundred years is off-limits."]
[After a moment of deliberation, Yu Yuanzhen finally nodded.]
[He knew his son was full of curiosity regarding the Martial Soul system.]
[And over the years, Yu Xiaogang had proven his ability with one fact after another.]
[Like the whale glue from back then; who could have imagined that a medicinal substance used as an aphrodisiac could actually be a divine item that allows Soul Masters to obtain higher-year Soul Rings.]
[So Yu Yuanzhen agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request on the spot. After all, they were just some ten-year Soul Bones; it wouldn't be too painful even if they were wasted.]
[And if his son really researched something from these Soul Bones, the one to benefit would be their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Having received Yu Yuanzhen's answer, Yu Xiaogang didn't hesitate and directly put all the ten-year Soul Bones into his storage soul tool.]
[That bold movement made Yu Yuanzhen's eyelids twitch.]
[Then came the hundred-year Soul Bones: those under two hundred years, those under three hundred years, four hundred...]
["Stop, stop, I said stop!"]
[Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to pocket all the four-hundred-year Soul Bones as well, Yu Yuanzhen finally couldn't take it anymore.]
[Good grief, seriously, I said you could take them as you please, and you really took them as you pleased?]
[Taking all the ten-year Soul Bones wasn't enough; you're even planning to take everything below the minimum standard I set for you?]
["Is this any way to act?"]
["If I hadn't set a condition, wouldn't you have taken every single Soul Bone below the Millennial level?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen said while staring huffily at Yu Xiaogang.]
["Actually, I was planning to take a few Millennial Spirit Bones too."]
[Yu Xiaogang thought to himself; he didn't dare say this out loud.]
[Unfortunately, no one knows a son better than his father. As soon as Yu Yuanzhen saw Yu Xiaogang's expression and the way he looked at those Millennial Spirit Bones, he understood that if he hadn't spoken up, this rascal would have taken some of the Millennial Spirit Bones too.]
[At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen felt a deep concern for the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[With Yu Xiaogang's spendthrift style, if he were to become the Sect Master, the Sect would probably suffer losses every year.]
[To prevent Yu Xiaogang from eyeing them further, Yu Yuanzhen immediately waved his hand and swept all the remaining Soul Bones into his own storage soul tool.]
[Looking at the Soul Bones being taken away, Yu Xiaogang smacked his lips a couple of times.]
[According to his original plan, he intended to have at least one piece from each level: ten-year, hundred-year, Millennial, and ten thousand year.]
[Only through actual comparison could he more clearly understand the specific details of these Soul Bones.]
[Unfortunately, looking at his father's actions, asking him for Millennial Spirit Bones was a lost cause, let alone ten thousand year spirit bones.]
["Forget it, I'll just make do with those ten-year and hundred-year Soul Bones for research for now."]
["Wait until I have some research results, then I'll ask Father for higher-level Soul Bones."]
[Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang looked at the pile of Soul Bones in his storage soul tool, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.]
[With so many Soul Bones, he could properly explore what the secret of Soul Bones was.]
Black World, Shrek Academy.
"Dammit, dammit, dammit! Curse you, curse you!!!"
Yu Xiaogang watched his parallel world self in the heavenly curtain pocketing such a large pile of Soul Bones and preparing to study them; he was so jealous he was on the verge of throwing a tantrum on the floor.
His defenses were completely breached!
As a researcher, Yu Xiaogang knew all too well what kind of improvement sufficient research materials could bring to a researcher.
Just like when he was studying in Spirit Hall back then; it was precisely because there was enough information that he was able to organize the Theory of the Maximum Spirit Ring Age Limit for Soul Masters to absorb.
Back then, judging that his Disciple Tang San had Twin Martial Souls was also thanks to the numerous examples of Blue Silver Grass Awakening; only then could he be certain Tang San had Twin Martial Souls.
Afterward, he used his theories to shock Tang San and successfully took in this Genius Disciple.
Regarding Soul Bones, Yu Xiaogang had naturally been curious as well.
Curious about how Soul Bones were produced, curious about the fundamental reason they could bring improvements to Soul Masters, curious about why Soul Bones could provide a skill just like Soul Rings...
Yu Xiaogang had thought about these questions, but unfortunately, he had never been able to obtain a real Soul Bone to study.
And he had always felt that as long as he could get a Soul Bone, he could break through the Rank 30 bottleneck.
Thus, failing to obtain a Soul Bone had always been Yu Xiaogang's regret.
But what did he see now?
It was one thing for his parallel self and father to get a pile of Soul Bones.
But the father over there even nodded in agreement to let that self take away dozens of Soul Bones for research.
One must know that research can lead to depletion and loss!
In other words, the father over there had already presupposed that those Soul Bones would all be lost.
And yet, he still agreed.
Heavens!!!
Is this something that can be casually agreed upon without a meeting of the Sect's upper echelons?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"
"It must be that the parallel world caused their personalities to be different."
Yu Xiaogang stared at Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen, father and son, in the heavenly curtain with a face full of jealousy, resenting his own father in his heart.
Why is it that when his parallel self wanted to do research, his father supported him so much, even giving away dozens of Soul Bones with just one sentence?
While when he wanted to do research, his father had that look of disdain.
It must be because of the parallel world, it must be!
