Douluo Continent: Revitalizing the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan

Chapter 7: Yu Tianheng Challenges!

"How's it going, Xiaoyun? How's the effect of the soul ring?" Yu Tianheng asked curiously.

"The spirit ring effect is quite good, directly boosting my spirit power to level 23. As expected, the spirit skill is Thunder Dragon Claw, and it even has some special effects."

"His soul power has actually increased to level twenty-three. No wonder he absorbed a thousand-year soul ring beyond his level." At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen revealed a satisfied smile.

Everyone nodded in satisfaction.

"Congratulations, young master, on becoming a Great Soul Master at such a young age." Xiaoyue looked at the young and outstanding man in front of her with envy and admiration. She was genuinely happy and sincerely congratulated him on his great achievement.

"Yes, that's truly impressive. To successfully absorb a thousand-year soul ring at level twenty—that's breaking records in the soul master world! It's unprecedented!" Yu Xiaofeng was equally astonished, his eyes brimming with uncontainable joy. Then, he proudly exclaimed, "As expected of my son, he's truly amazing!"

However, Yu Linglong rolled her eyes at her husband and retorted, "What does this have to do with you? If you're really that powerful, why didn't you absorb the thousand-year soul ring when you were level 20?" After saying that, she turned to Yu Tianyun, carefully looked her son up and down, and asked him with concern if he had any discomfort or abnormality.

Yu Xiaofeng was speechless for a moment after being choked by his wife's words, unable to respond. He shook his head helplessly, but his heart was still filled with pride and expectations for his son.

"Xiaoyun, you haven't told us how effective your Thunder Dragon Claw is yet," Yu Tianheng asked eagerly. Having been interrupted, Yu Tianyun had forgotten to explain the specific effects of his soul skill, so he immediately replied:

"My Thunder Dragon Claw has a maximum attack range of fifty meters! It also has a tearing effect, and if you attach it to your hand, it can directly increase your attack power by one hundred percent."

"Moreover, with the powerful amplification of my first spirit ring, its power can actually be increased by another fifty percent!" Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

Keep in mind that even the ranged attacks of most Soul Masters can't reach this far! What's more, this Soul Skill also has a tearing effect, it's truly terrifying!

Everyone was stunned by Yu Tianyun's terrifying soul skill. They stared wide-eyed at him in disbelief. Such a powerful soul skill was practically invincible!

"Hmm, not bad. Your Thunder Dragon Claw is indeed very effective, enough to ensure that you won't have to worry about lacking powerful attack methods for quite some time."

"Indeed, Thunder Dragon Claw is a soul skill that can be used for both ranged and melee combat, and it is the standard configuration for the first three soul rings of our family. This soul skill is extremely practical, and the Thunder Dragon Claw you displayed is exceptionally powerful, enough to support you until you advance to the Soul King stage." Everyone praised Yu Tianyun's powerful second soul skill.

"Xiaoyun, how about we have a friendly spar?" Yu Tianheng said, rubbing his hands together, eager to try.

"Mom, my brother is bullying me! He's already a level 31 Soul Master, yet he wants to compete against me, a Great Soul Master who just leveled up. He's obviously jealous of me and wants to use the competition as an opportunity to beat me up." Yu Tianyun clung tightly to Yu Linglong's arm, pouting as he spoke. A sly glint flashed in his smiling eyes.

Yu Linglong turned her head and glared fiercely at Yu Tianheng, her eyes conveying a clear message: If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, you'll be in for a beating.

Yu Tianheng knew very well that his mother's fiery temper was no less than that of his aunt, Liu Erlong, who was known as the "Mother Tyrant."

He quickly waved his hand and explained, "No, Mom, let me explain. I just wanted to test the power of Xiaoyun's soul skill. I will never use the third soul skill or dragon transformation."

Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, thinking to himself, "Just how strong am I now? Perhaps I should take this opportunity to test my abilities and find out."

So he turned his gaze to Yu Tianheng and said softly, "Since that's the case, then so be it, elder brother. However, how about we spar again tomorrow? I've just advanced in my cultivation level and need some time to familiarize myself with this new body."

Yu Tianheng nodded in understanding and replied, "Of course you can. Tianyun, you've just advanced, so you do need to familiarize yourself with the changes in your body so that you can better unleash your strength."

Otherwise, if one cannot demonstrate their true skill level during the exchange, then the competition loses its meaning.

Only when we are all in our best condition can we learn from each other and make progress together.

If I were to easily defeat you now, before you have fully adapted to your new power, then this victory would be utterly meaningless.

Yu Tianyun nodded in deep agreement and agreed with Yu Tianheng to fight again the next day. Both of them had a determined look in their eyes, full of anticipation and confidence for the upcoming sparring match.

Around noon, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianyun did not return to the mountaintop to continue their cultivation as usual, but chose to stay and have lunch with their family.

This lunch was incredibly lavish, given the enormous and fresh Thunder Tyrannosaurus Rex as the main ingredient.

So, everyone decided to use the local ingredients to hold a unique roasted dragon feast.

All eyes were fixed on the golden-brown, sizzling dragon meat, and everyone's mouths watered, their appetites whetted.

Especially Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianyun, who completely disregarded their image, grabbed more than a dozen skewers of roasted dragon meat with both hands and wolfed them down.

Before long, all that remained beside them was a mountain of bamboo skewers. Watching them devour the food like a whirlwind, the crowd couldn't help but smile knowingly.

However, among these smiles, the smiles of two people contained a different kind of emotion.

Tears welled up in Xiaoyue's eyes. Her family had long since disappeared. She had been sold to a large auction house by her family. Seeing the warm and happy scene of Yu Tianyun's family always reminded her of her pitiful experience. But the days in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect were the happiest and most peaceful days of her life. She didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat, being sold, or being abused.

The young master's family has been very good to her, and she only wants to repay them now. Ever since she bought her at the auction and placed her next to Yu Tianyun, she has secretly decided that everything she has belongs to the young master, even her body and her life. Her current happy and peaceful life is brought to her by the young master, so everything she has belongs to him.

Looking at this joyful family scene, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but think of his youngest son, Yu Xiaogang, who had been away from home for several years.

Although Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the family, how could a father hold a grudge against his own child? It was simply because Yu Xiaogang had gone too far back then: he seduced the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and was expelled from Spirit City, almost married his cousin, called himself a master, and published the ridiculous "Ten Core Competencies of Spirit".

Yu Xiaogang's various actions have made the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan a laughing stock in the Soul Master world for the past ten years. People dare not discuss it on the surface, but they all laugh at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan for producing such a clown. Similarly, the name "Master" has become a household name in the Soul Master world.

Any Soul Master with a modicum of knowledge knows how ridiculous Yu Xiaogang's "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls" is. Its contents have already been researched and have long been common knowledge among the upper echelons of the Soul Master world.

Yu Xiaogang had little contact with the upper echelons of the Soul Master world, and he didn't have any research of his own. All of his work consisted of summarizing the research results recorded in the classics of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the Spirit Hall, piecing them together to create his own version.

By the way, there's a quote of his that he said: "There are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters." But he himself is an example of overturning that statement.

Tang San's Blue Silver Grass was not a useless soul at all; he almost ruined the Blue Silver Emperor. Blue Silver Grass was originally a life attribute, but he insisted on adding a poison attribute to it. It's just that Blue Silver Grass is too tolerant.

And isn't the Entangling skill a passive skill for vine-type martial souls? Just like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex can naturally generate electricity.

To waste a spirit ring

Yu Xiaogang is someone who reads a lot of books.

But a bookworm with absolutely no practical experience.

Other martial soul researchers never argued with Yu Xiaogang either. Anyone with a brain in the soul master world knew that Yu Xiaogang's theories were cobbled together from various sources, so they neither believed them nor argued with him.

Therefore, the title of "Master" was passed down to Yu Xiaogang.

What's the point of arguing with him? Even if you win the argument, it's taken for granted, and you'll just be seen as an enemy by Yu Xiaogang.

After all, he is Yu Yuanzhen's youngest son.

Arguing with him will do you no good and will only bring you trouble!

Yu Xiaogang was a bit useless in terms of cultivation, but his dedication to theoretical research was extraordinary. He never listened to other people's opinions and only recognized the data summarized in books.

To put it nicely, it's called persistence.

To put it bluntly, it's obsession.

Yu Yuanzhen had approached Yu Xiaogang a few years ago, hoping to persuade him to return to the family. However, Yu Xiaogang was very stubborn and felt that the people in the family would only laugh at him. He insisted on achieving success before returning to the family to refute those who had mocked him.

Thus, Yu Yuanzhen secretly mobilized his family connections to keep an eye on Yu Xiaogang in Notting City, while Yu Xiaogang remained completely unaware of all this.

Yu Xiaogang had already left home before Yu Tianyun was born. Yu Tianyun's understanding of Yu Xiaogang came from his parents and relatives.
