Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, A Century of Glory

Chapter 2 The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex: An Anomaly

Yun Yibai's first and second soul rings both absorbed soul skills that tended to amplify soul power.

Such a configuration of spirit rings is undoubtedly an anomaly among the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, and in the eyes of the stubborn old men of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, it is completely contrary to the heavenly order.

If a lightning-attribute soul master doesn't absorb lightning-attribute soul beasts, wouldn't that be going against the natural order?

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, as the most powerful beast spirit on the Douluo Continent, has always been known for its formidable offensive power. Spirit masters possessing a pure Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit typically absorb a few familiar spirit rings, almost all related to lightning, strength, and defense, to enhance their combat abilities.

However, Yun Yibai chose a soul skill that amplifies soul power, which, in the eyes of the old fogies, was undoubtedly contrary to the Heavenly Gang and violated the tradition of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan.

In the eyes of the family's old fogies, the soul ring configuration carefully selected by their ancestor is the best.

To the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex clan, Yun Yibai's first and second spirit rings seemed out of step with their traditions. However, only Yun Yibai himself knew that the spirit skills of these two spirit rings did not simply amplify spirit power, but rather amplified all attributes.

A full attribute boost means that strength, speed, defense, agility, spirit, attributes, and soul power can all be comprehensively improved. Such a soul skill is extremely rare in the Douluo Continent, and can even be said to be unique.

Such a soul ring also explains why he, whose innate soul power was only level seven, could reach level twenty-eight by the age of eleven.

Yun Yibai was well aware of what he had done. Although his soul ring configuration went against tradition, he had his own ideas.

The family's choice was sound, as maintaining stability is essential.

But... the most terrifying thing is not knowing how to change!

To him, everything in the world, before reaching a certain level of power, is like fleeting clouds, illusory and unreal. Only when his soul power breaks through to the awe-inspiring realm of the Title Douluo will he truly possess the right to converse with the world, and only then will he have a place on this continent teeming with powerful figures. Soul power is the foundation upon which he stands in this world, the source of his confidence to survive, and the source of his pursuit of supreme power.

Yun Yibai had a deeper understanding of soul skills. While there were intricate connections between soul skills and power, it wasn't the sole reason. Soul skills granted by soul rings were certainly an important component of a soul master's power, but true powerhouses could unearth even more astonishing power from the depths of their martial soul and soul power, creating their own soul skills that transcended the ordinary. Yun Yibai knew that in the fierce battles between high-level soul masters, those thousand-year-old soul skills relied upon in lower-level battles had long become relics of the past, rarely regarded as winning strategies anymore.

For example, the Clear Sky Hammer, which is said to be the number one weapon spirit on the continent, ultimately relies on the "Nine Absolutes of Clear Sky" rather than a single spirit skill, right?

That's the truth, and Yun Yibai doesn't think he's that bad. Moreover, his path has been proven effective by someone, although that person might be living ten thousand years in the future.

He had no intention of explaining anything to those rigid and ancient families, nor did he want to demonstrate his true fighting prowess, because he understood that in this self-enclosed community, any explanation or argument would be futile. Their vision was bound by outdated customs and traditions, preventing them from seeing the vast world he had glimpsed.

Every choice Yun Yibai makes is to pursue the truth in his heart, rather than to cater to the expectations and gaze of others.

It was precisely because of Yun Yibai's series of actions, coupled with his refusal to explain or demonstrate his abilities, that the old fogies of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan concluded that Yun Yibai was useless. They no longer saw him as someone worthy of their resources for development.

So, having reached level 20 soul power at just over nine years old, he left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and came to the Blue Tyrant Academy founded by Liu Erlong. The people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan naturally knew who founded the Blue Tyrant Academy, so the couple felt quite at ease.

As for whether Blue Tyrant Academy wants them or not? That's a joke. Once the identities of the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan are revealed, how could they dare to refuse?

Liu Erlong, preoccupied with her longing for someone, neither approved nor rejected Yun Yibai's arrival.

However, at the age of nine, he didn't have much money. Before the age of nine, his resources did not include gold soul coins. When Yun Yibai came to Blue Tyrant Academy, he only had a few hundred gold soul coins on him. Some of them were from the Spirit Hall and some were given to him by his parents.

He built this empire himself.

That's why he needed to come to the Great Soul Arena to inquire about something like whale glue.

One reason is insufficient funding.

On the other hand, whale gelatin is considered the best aphrodisiac during this period.

So he can ignore other reputations, but he has to wait until he's older to talk about "this reputation".

After finishing today's Great Soul Battle, Yun Yibai returned to Blue Tyrant Academy to continue his cultivation, as he wanted to quickly break through to a higher level.

"Hey! Stop right there! Last time you escaped by sheer luck. That narrow place restricted my skills, and you, a nobody, embarrass me."

"I'll see how you run today, hmph!" Just as Yun Yibai stepped into the gate of Blue Tyrant Academy, a rough voice rang out.

Yun Yibai frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a burly student, half a head taller than himself, blocking his way. At first glance, Yun Yibai thought it was some giant gorilla that had escaped from the Soul Beast Forest, mainly because the person was so dark-skinned.

Several people were following behind him.

"Who are you?"

"You you you!!" he cried out in alarm. Tyrone's face flushed red instantly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He wanted to argue urgently and angrily, but he was speechless for a moment and could only point at Yun Yibai, his fingers trembling slightly.

After a moment, he snorted coldly, "Hmph! Stop trying to outwit me with words. Today, I'll show you that the name of the Tailong Clan of Strength is not just for show! From now on, if you ever encounter me again, you'd better be sensible and avoid me, lest you humiliate yourself!"

"Wow~"

"I vaguely remember!"

"I remember last time, it seems like you were the one who ran away first!" Yun Yibai's face showed a hint of amusement.

In fact, it was Tailong who started the trouble last time. Tailong is someone who likes to show off, and with his grandfather, a Contra player, backing him up, he's been a little tyrant since childhood, until he met Yun Yibai, who completely ignored him. Tailong was unhappy, so naturally he wanted to cause trouble for the person involved.

The place where Tyrone met Yun Yibai was a relatively narrow place. The two exchanged blows briefly, and the result was obvious. Tyrone was too big, while Yun Yibai had both strength and speed, so Yun Yibai had a slight advantage.

Tailong didn't think he was incapable; he only believed it was a problem with the environment. That's why he came to block people at the main gate today.
