Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Luo Sanpao, Hextech Five-Choose-Three

Chapter 38 Yu Xiaogang's Furious Outburst: Don't Just Talk Like You Don't Know What's Wrong!

Yu Tianqing and his wife glanced at Yu Yuanzhen with some surprise. They had asked him to come today so that Yu Xiaogang would apologize for what happened last time.

To be honest, Yu Yuanzhen's behavior filled them both with admiration.

Yu Xiaogang stood there, his face pale and his whole body trembling uncontrollably. He didn't understand why his father would say such things to him in front of outsiders.

Doesn't he have any pride?

Yu Xiaoqian, who was standing to the side, also said, "Little brother, what Dad said may be a bit harsh, but it's the truth. With half a level of innate soul power, it's really too difficult to become a battle soul master. Why don't you choose to follow the path of theory like Yu Changge?"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Yu Xiaogang was already in a bad mood because his father had criticized him, and now he had to be lectured by his older brother. Why should he be like this?

"Yu Xiaoqian!"

"Don't just talk like that without understanding the situation!"

"Do you know how jealous I am of your talent? If I had your talent, or even a slightly lower level, just the seventh level of the Innate Realm, I wouldn't be in this situation now!"

"You don't need to pretend with me here, I don't need it!!!"

Both Yu Xiaoqian and he are sons of Yu Yuanzhen. The former possesses innate level eight soul power and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, while the latter possesses innate half-level soul power and the Pig Luo martial soul. (Yu Xiaoqian's talent was changed from level nine to level eight.)

Yu Xiaoqian is only two years older than him, but he is already a Great Soul Master, while his current soul power is less than level six.

The former, under the family's guidance, has the potential to be granted a title and become the next patriarch.

The latter, under the family's tutelage, even becoming a Great Soul Master is difficult.

This gap—

If you were outside, and you said that Yu Xiaogang was Yu Xiaoqian's younger brother, probably no one would believe you.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a slap landed directly on Yu Xiaogang's face, and the heavy force sent him flying, crashing heavily to the ground. His cheek instantly swelled up, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Yu Yuanzhen's sudden action stunned everyone present.

Yu Xiaolong glanced at Yu Yuanzhen and sighed inwardly.

He understood his son's actions; if Yu Xiaogang were his son, he probably would have lived several years less.

He's already quite old; if he lives a few more years, he'll probably be buried already.

Yu Xiaogang is the kind of person who can't be woken up by words or scolding. Now even his brother's well-intentioned reminders are being ignored. So, only one last resort remains.

Wake me up!

But in Yu Xiaolong's opinion, this move was probably still useless.

They've already resorted to violence; this will ultimately damage the relationship between father and son.

Yu Xiaogang's mind went blank at that moment, his head was buzzing, and that slap was so hard that he felt like his brains were about to be shaken out.

He covered his swollen face with his hands and stared at Yu Yuanzhen. After several seconds, the somewhat blurry figure in front of him finally refocused into a single person.

Yu Yuanzhen said coldly, "Xiao Gang, you have really disappointed me. It doesn't matter if you have low talent. With the resources of your family, you may not become a strong person in the future, but you can protect yourself."

"But what you shouldn't have done was to be jealous, and even speak to your own brother like that! This is a matter of character!"

"Throughout my life, I, Yu Yuanzhen, have lived an upright and honest life, and I will absolutely not allow my descendants to have such thoughts!"

"Otherwise—the entire family will be thrown into chaos!"

"Apologize to Xiaoqian now! Immediately! Right now!"

Yu Yuanzhen's voice even contained a trace of soul power, so powerful that Yu Xiaogang couldn't muster any will to resist.

He used to be so arrogant, daring to boss Yu Changge around, and even when others mocked him, he would refute them.

And all this confidence came from his father, Yu Yuanzhen.

Now that Yu Yuanzhen has criticized him like this, how could he possibly have the courage to go against him?

Yu Xiaogang staggered to his feet, walked up to Yu Xiaoqian, and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, big brother, I—I just got carried away and said things I shouldn't have. I hope—you won't take it to heart."

As Yu Xiaogang spoke, all his arrogance vanished, replaced by an air of dejection.

It was as if Yu Yuanzhen was forcing him to do this, and he had no choice but to compromise, being forced into it.

Yu Xiaoqian looked at Yu Xiaogang with a complicated expression. He didn't know how his younger brother had become like this.

Perhaps, he really has become averse to worldly pleasures? He can no longer truly understand the pain Yu Xiaogang is experiencing.

But Yu Xiaogang's words just now really stabbed him in the heart.

Yu Xiaoqian opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, only letting out a soft sigh.

Yu Yuanzhen saw this and felt a deep sadness. He had truly tried his best, but he still couldn't turn things around, which made his eyes slightly moist.

At this moment, his feelings were very complicated and he couldn't put them into words. In the end, he was utterly disappointed in his youngest son.

"Anything else!" Yu Yuanzhen spoke again, this time with a slightly hoarse voice.

Yu Xiaogang stiffened, his lips clenched, and his body trembled slightly. He was told to apologize to Yu Xiaoqian, which was fine; Yu Xiaoqian was his own brother, and he had indeed gone too far. Apologizing was not shameful.

But to ask him to apologize to Yu Tianqing and his wife, he—

You know, he had always looked down on Yu Changge before, but now he has to apologize to his parents?

It's not that he looks down on him; rather, it's because of Yu Changge's existence that he can constantly comfort himself and compare himself to him. As long as his soul power level is higher than the other's, then he has won.

Yu Changge was an imaginary enemy in his mind.

Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao both looked somewhat embarrassed, as if they were being held hostage.

Do they want Yu Xiaogang to apologize for their son?

Needless to say, she definitely wanted to.

But they would rather have a sincere apology than this.

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Yu Xiaolong, intending to ask his grandfather for help, but seeing that his grandfather was watching with his eyes closed, he knew it was hopeless.

Under Yu Yuanzhen's pressure, Yu Xiaogang finally chickened out and walked up to Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao, saying, "I'm sorry—"

He said those three words with great difficulty and reluctance.

Yu Yuanzhen let out a sigh of relief: "Starting tomorrow, you will have to go to the family's school every morning. If you continue to be so lazy, I'll break your legs!"

"Get down here right now!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang looked at his father in shock, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately held back.
