He turned around, faced Tang Wei, Ning Zhenyuan, and the heads of the four major families, and bowed respectfully with a stern face.
"My son is ignorant and has made you all laugh."
"Body tempering ritual, continue."
Yu Yuanzhen's voice echoed around the Thunder Pool.
However, the atmosphere has changed.
The elation and joy of everyone being united in their anticipation of the rise of a genius have vanished.
Yu Xiaogang's words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing the hearts of every Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex member present.
Whispers rang out, as soft as the buzzing of mosquitoes.
"What Xiaogang said... seems to make sense."
"Yes, that's what the sect's records say. At six years old, before the bloodline is fully developed, forcibly tempering the body will be twice the effort for half the result."
"Thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunderstones... If we really waste them, our sect's century-old foundation will be shaken!"
"Isn't the sect leader being too impatient?"
"It's not too late to wait until Young Master Heng is twelve years old and begins his body training."
People's hearts are in turmoil.
Unwavering support turned into doubt.
Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan exchanged a glance, inwardly realizing they were in trouble.
They came today to do a favor for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, and also to witness the rise of a future powerhouse.
But the current situation is like being roasted over a fire, caught in a dilemma.
Ning Zhenyuan coughed lightly, stepped forward, and bowed to Yu Yuanzhen and the elders with a smile:
"Sect Master Yu is overthinking it, and everyone needs not worry."
“Nephew Xiao Heng possesses a Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul with innate full soul power. How can we judge him by ordinary standards? The purity of his bloodline probably far surpasses any of the ancestors recorded in the classics.”
Tang Wei also chimed in at the opportune moment:
"Excellent! I believe that with my nephew Xiao Heng's talent, he will be able to break through the shackles of 'Initial Opening of Thunder Veins' on his first body tempering and directly touch the threshold of the second level, 'Initial Manifestation of Dragon Scales'!"
"Even if only a few scattered scales appear, it is still several times better than the achievements of an ordinary disciple at the age of twelve! In the future, cultivating 'Thunder Bone Solidification' and even 'Dragon Body Perfection' will be a natural outcome!"
Although their words sounded nice, both of them knew exactly what was going on.
Yu Xiaoheng's age is a major disadvantage.
This body tempering exercise will most likely yield limited benefits. They were just saying some polite words to give Yu Yuanzhen and themselves a way out.
Yu Xiaoheng's expression was also somewhat solemn.
He knew better than anyone that in order to save Erlong, he had to cultivate the "Thunder Body Refining Technique" to the third level, "Thunder Bone Solidification"!
After awakening his martial spirit, he gained a "trump card," which gave him the confidence to transcend common sense and greatly accelerate his body-refining progress.
However, he wasn't entirely confident that he could ascend to the third level in one step.
But he had no way out.
Yu Xiaoheng reached out and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his still somewhat immature but well-proportioned upper body.
He walked towards the forbidden zone.
Just before he was about to step into the pool, a clear shout rang out throughout the entire venue.
"The seven treasures have names, the first of which is: Strength!"
Ning Zhenyuan's voice was steady and powerful.
A dazzling seven-colored light shot into the sky, and an exquisitely crafted seven-story pagoda floated above his palm.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—the seven spirit rings lit up in turn, and finally, the highest spirit ring emitted a profound light.
"Secondly: Speed!"
"Thirdly: The Soul!"
Fourthly: Defense!
Fifthly: Attack!
Sixth: Increase!
"Seven Treasures True Form!"
Ning Zhenyuan paused, then activated his seventh-level tower body, unleashing the full potential of his first six soul skills in the form of a martial soul true body!
Seven beams of light, each a different color, descended from the sky like a dream, enveloping Yu Xiaoheng's small body.
The crowd was mesmerized; this was the true power of the world's number one support-type martial soul!
Ning Zhenyuan's face turned slightly pale, clearly indicating that activating all seven soul skills at the same time had taken a heavy toll on him.
Chapter 30 Split Martial Soul, Consuming Herbs, Body Refinement and Transformation!
Ning Zhenyuan said loudly, "Nephew Xiao Heng, although my Seven Treasures True Body cannot help you break through the shackles of body refinement, it can protect your meridians and bones from being destroyed by lightning in the Thunder Pool! Go ahead and fight!"
These words cleared up everyone's doubts.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's assistance could truly defy the heavens and help people transcend their cultivation level, then it could also be used to absorb soul rings, and the rules of soul rings in this world would have been rewritten long ago.
Its function is to provide a layer of "insurance".
This will prevent Yu Xiaoheng from exploding and dying on the spot when he pushes his limits.
"Thank you, Uncle Ning."
Yu Xiaoheng nodded slightly.
At this moment, the heads of the four major families also made their move.
They each took out a jade bottle and carefully applied the pre-processed, shimmering, dark green liquid to Yu Xiaoheng's chest, back, and limbs.
Upon contact with the skin, a tingling and cool sensation instantly spread throughout the body.
Ready, ready.
Without further hesitation, Yu Xiaoheng slowly stepped into the Thunder Pool with one foot.
There was no earth-shattering noise.
The pool was still, but the moment it touched his ankle, the entire Thunder Pool seemed to come alive!
"Fuck-"
Countless fine, silver-blue electric snakes surged wildly up his calves, instantly engulfing him completely!
Lightning flashed brightly!
It was ten times more dazzling than when the thirty-six chalcedony thunderstones were gathered together before!
"My God!"
"This is... direct absorption?"
"So fast!"
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell.
In everyone's eyes, Yu Xiaoheng's body was like a bottomless black hole, frantically devouring the violent lightning energy in the pool.
The glass armor on his body flickered violently, isolating 99% of the destructive power and allowing only the purest lightning power to temper his meridians.
In just a few breaths!
Yu Xiaoheng suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and a flash of silver-blue lightning disappeared in his pupils!
A powerful aura, far exceeding that of his peers, emanated from his body!
First stage: Initial opening of the Thunder Meridian!
Become!
Moreover, it has reached a state of perfection!
"Good!" Tang Wei couldn't help but shout!
The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan also showed expressions of surprise and excitement.
At this rate, the second "dragon scales" will soon be visible!
However, just a few breaths later, the dazzling lightning quickly dimmed.
Yu Xiaoheng's absorption rate of lightning suddenly decreased sharply.
Like a ravenous beast that suddenly lost its appetite.
The energy in the Thunder Pool remained immense, but it could no longer penetrate his body even slightly.
His meridians have reached the limit that his current age can withstand.
Not to mention the second layer, not even a trace of dragon scales appeared.
Yu Xiaoheng stood in the center of the Thunder Pool, his face expressionless.
He raised his right hand.
"hold head high--"
A young yet majestic dragon's roar resounded!
Martial Soul: Golden Sacred Dragon Embryo!
With a flick of his wrist, Yu Xiaoheng conjured several items into his other hand.
Three small grasses, their entire bodies radiating sunlight, resembled crystal sculptures.
Two fungi resembling Ganoderma lucidum, but with a blood-red color, exuding a rich aura of blood and energy.
Dawn Grass, and Dragon Blood Mushroom.
These two medicinal herbs have indeed exhausted their power to evolve his martial spirit, and consuming them again would be of no benefit.
