One, two, three...
The elders in the hall all spoke up and made suggestions.
The voices rose and fell, converging into a torrent that resounded like thunder in the council chamber.
Yu Luomian was stunned.
He stared blankly at the scene before him.
Because of Liu Erlong's affair, he had some reservations about his nephew Yu Xiaoheng, and even harbored resentment towards him.
But at this moment, looking at these elders who might have had their own agendas in the past, they are united as one because of a name.
He suddenly realized that Yu Xiaoheng's existence might be... more beneficial than he had imagined.
At least, it gave some disorganized sects a strong sense of cohesion.
Yu Luomian suddenly twitched the corners of her mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile.
"Alright, alright, I admit I was being nosy!"
He waved his hand, looking both tired and relieved.
"I don't want to do this job of being the head housekeeper anymore! Whoever wants to manage it can manage it. I'm getting a headache just looking at those accounts that are so red they're practically purple!"
These words, seemingly an act of shirking responsibility, are actually a form of concession.
This implicitly acknowledges Yu Xiaoheng's supreme status within the sect.
After all, he was the only one in the room who proposed reducing Yu Xiaoheng's resources.
Outside the council chamber, in the shadow of the colonnades.
A figure flashed past behind the door, leaving only a faint sigh.
Yu Xiaoheng leaned against the cold stone pillar, looking up at the waning moon on the horizon.
Uncle Yu Luomian... was actually right.
In order to solidify its own evolution, it dragged down the entire clan.
That is indeed selfish.
Yu Xiaoheng readily admitted that he was a selfish and self-serving person. In order to become stronger, he would stop at nothing and use any available resources.
but……
Unbeknownst to Yu Xiaoheng, when he overheard through the crack in the door that the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had joined forces to suppress the sect, the anger that flashed in his eyes was no less than that of any of the elders in the hall.
He didn't even realize that his mind was already racing with subconscious calculations.
How to optimize the refining efficiency of precious medicinal materials and reduce unnecessary losses.
and also……
Are there any commodities from past lives that can be used to expand the sect's financial avenues?
then……
Half a month passed quietly.
Nothing happened.
It wasn't entirely without activity. Several blueprints filled with ideas were sent to the elder in charge of the sect's assets.
It wasn't until the early morning of that day that Yu Xiaoheng's tightly closed door creaked open and slowly opened.
Yu Xiaoheng came out.
With the sect's massive resources, the vitality gap in the evolved Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul was finally completely filled.
Unfortunately, most of the powerful medicinal properties of the herb have remained in the limbs and bones and have not yet been fully digested, so it is temporarily impossible to continue taking it.
But this two-week period of arduous training was not without its own rewards.
A pure and gentle life energy flowed slowly through his body, forming a vortex.
Yu Xiaoheng named it—
The source of life.
With a slight thought, a green halo appeared at his fingertips.
This power can be shared with others, transformed into healing power, and pulled the dying back from the brink of death.
It can also be kept for one's own use, transformed into restorative power, giving him a powerful recovery speed.
"good."
Yu Xiaoheng whispered.
This ability is extremely powerful in itself, and more importantly, it can be combined with the "adaptability" of his martial soul.
When facing powerful enemies who lack the ability to instantly kill, he can rely on this vitality to wear them down and build up his adaptability.
At that time, a counterattack is not out of the question.
The massive resources were ultimately not wasted.
……
The patriarch's study.
Yu Yuanzhen put down the letter in his hand, looked at his eldest son who had pushed open the door and entered, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Xiao Heng, you've emerged from seclusion."
He waved the letter in his hand. "Thunder Academy, Lei Hao and his buddies wrote a joint letter saying that the entire team admires you and hopes you can come back and continue to lead them."
"How about it? Should we go back?"
In his view, Yu Xiaoheng was still a seven-year-old child.
Children need the admiration of their peers and the glory of being in the spotlight.
Going to Thunder Academy to receive cheers wouldn't be bad either.
Yu Xiaoheng simply shook his head calmly.
"Thunder Academy is no longer of any use to me."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but sigh again.
His son's mental fortitude far surpassed that of ordinary people.
He stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
"Then what brings you here?"
Yu Xiaoheng said, "I want to participate in the sect's training."
"Nonsense!"
Yu Yuanzhen said decisively.
"Now that the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are eyeing each other covetously, and the trade routes outside the sect are repeatedly harassed, there are dangers everywhere. How can I let you put yourself in danger?"
"Let's wait a bit longer. It's not too late to go after we find a suitable spirit beast, obtain our third spirit ring, and greatly increase our strength!"
Yu Xiaoheng remained unmoved.
"No need."
He looked up and stared directly at his father.
"Father, what is the main strength level of the guard teams of our Blue Lightning Sect's outbound merchant caravans?"
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, then answered subconsciously.
"Naturally, most of them are led by Soul Masters."
"There are also large merchant caravans led by Soul Kings and Soul Emperors."
Yu Xiaoheng nodded.
"So, the teams led by these Soul Masters were the ones that suffered the most damage, right?"
"Yes."
Yu Xiaoheng continued to ask questions.
"Now that the sect has deduced that the Seven Treasures Sect and the Haotian Sect are behind this, what kind of people do you think they will send to do this dirty work?"
"The Soul King?"
"How could this be!" Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. "Soul Kings are so rare, how could they be used in such a place!"
Yu Xiaoheng spoke again.
"Those... are just Soul Masters."
"What do I have to fear?"
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned by those words.
He knew that his child's confidence did not come from nowhere.
After a long while, Yu Yuanzhen let out a long sigh.
"Fine... Where do you want to go for training?"
A glint of light flashed in Yu Xiaoheng's eyes.
"Let's go to the Wens territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire."
That place was the area where the family suffered the most damage.
Yu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment, then nodded.
He did not suggest having elders of the Contra level secretly follow him.
Yu Yuanzhen understood that what Yu Xiaoheng wanted this time was not the kind of "game" he had at Thunder Academy.
Once a powerful Contra fighter is mobilized, causing even the slightest disturbance, the pretense becomes a joke.
Furthermore, if a titled Douluo-level enemy were to make a move, the outcome would be the same whether the Soul Douluo Elder was present or not.
Without these elders, it would be impossible for a Title Douluo to appear.
