Chapter 31 Soul Power Reaches Level 10
The strange looks from Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo did not affect Yu Xiaogang.
As he looked at the image of himself interacting with Xiaolong in the sky, he couldn't help but reminisce about the past.
When he discovered that Xiaolong could cultivate like him, the first thing that came to his mind was the Shadow Clone Technique from Naruto, which he had watched before he was reincarnated.
Born from itself, the detached beast spirit possesses consciousness, much like a shadow clone.
So Yu Xiaogang tried to teach Xiaolong knowledge by using the Shadow Clone Technique.
As the result showed in the sky, Xiaolong was fully capable of doing what Shadow Clone Technique could do.
This discovery came just as Yu Xiaogang was on a very tight schedule in the early stages of his career.
He needed to learn about the Douluo Continent and meditate to improve his soul power.
Xiaolong also needed to temper his body day and night to lay a good foundation for acquiring a martial soul in the future.
Although items like whale glue can increase the age of spirit rings, one's own foundation is still very important.
The difference between increasing the absorption period by two hundred years, from one hundred years to three hundred years, and from three hundred years to five hundred years, is like heaven and earth.
The appearance of Xiaolong undoubtedly greatly increased his efficiency.
So Yu Xiaogang spent some time specifically helping Xiaolong learn.
Once Xiaolong had learned enough, Yu Xiaogang let him study on his own.
He did not need Xiaolong to understand; Xiaolong just needed to memorize everything and then transfer it into his mind.
This process was utterly agonizing for Xiaolong.
Just like children, they are at an age where they love to play.
Some children may enjoy learning, but that's only after they've had enough playing.
It's not hard to guess how a playful child will react when forced to study.
Xiaolong was the same; before long, he developed a deep resistance to learning.
Unfortunately, Xiaolong encountered Yu Xiaogang.
Although he resisted learning, Yu Xiaogang still managed to get Xiaolong to continue learning through various methods such as persuasion, encouragement, and rewards.
This was the root cause of Xiaolong's subsequent aversion to school.
Recalling the time when he forced Xiaolong to study, and how Xiaolong stared at him with wide, pitiful eyes, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but laugh.
He had no choice back then; time was too tight, so he had to exploit Xiaolong.
Once his own strength improved, Yu Xiaogang never forced Xiaolong to learn anything again.
Yu Xiaogang shook his head as he glanced at the giant dragon sleeping not far away.
From the time he was reincarnated to the Douluo Continent until now, who has been with him the longest?
The answer is undoubtedly Xiaolong.
He is one with Xiaolong; they are partners and family.
Xiaolong has made significant contributions to Yu Xiaogang's growth.
So Yu Xiaogang is very fortunate now, fortunate that the martial soul he awakened back then was Little Dragon.
[The video continues...]
Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In a training room of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon closed their eyes and meditated together.
A moment later, with a ripple, Yu Xiaogang opened his tightly closed eyes, glanced at the little dragon beside him who had also opened his eyes, and a look of joy appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"Little Dragon, can you feel it?"
"Hehe!"
[Little Dragon happily spun around Yu Xiaogang twice, then jumped into his arms.]
"Haha, I finally reached level 10! I didn't expect it to be so fast!"
Yu Xiaogang caught Xiaolong, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
Level 10! According to Yu Xiaogang's original estimate, with his innate soul power at level 1, it would take him at least four or five years to reach level 10.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang has a Title Douluo father and a Soul Saint uncle.
With their help, he discovered the secret of whale glue.
With this, he can enjoy the same treatment as a Soul Douluo within the sect.
Later, he even discovered that his martial soul, the little dragon, could cultivate alongside him.
A combination of factors allowed him to successfully reach level ten with his innate first-level soul power, two and a half years after his martial soul awakening.
"My soul power has reached level ten, which is enough to obtain my first soul ring. But before that, I need to consume whale glue!"
A glint flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
The effects of whale glue have been studied in detail by our family over the past two years.
Before being activated by flame, whale glue is a medicinal material with strong yang properties.
When subjected to intense flames, much like quicklime and water colliding, two seemingly unrelated substances suddenly unleash unimaginable energy.
Originally, whale glue is highly yang in nature. After being roasted by high-intensity flames, its yang energy increases dramatically, transforming it into a potent tonic for yang.
These highly yang tonics, once absorbed into a Soul Master's body, will strengthen the Soul Master's physique from the inside out.
Muscles, bones, meridians—everything is strengthened.
This is precisely why Soul Masters can withstand soul rings of higher age.
In the past two years, thanks to whale glue, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has produced several Soul Masters with their first soul ring exceeding 500 years.
You should know that this is different from Wang Dachui's situation.
Wang Dachui is already seventeen years old, and his body has become much stronger with age.
However, in the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, all those who can enjoy whale glue obtained their first spirit ring at the age of seven or eight.
There is a huge physical difference between a seventeen-year-old and a seven or eight-year-old.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's children, who obtained their first spirit rings at seven or eight years old, were allowed to grow to seventeen, the sect would dare to directly grant them their first spirit rings, which would be around nine hundred years old.
With the family's future clearly bright and promising, Yu Yuanzhen, as the sect leader, and the elders naturally smiled every day.
Especially after meeting Yu Xiaogang, the person who brought about changes to the sect.
His amiable attitude left countless sect members utterly bewildered.
They did not understand why the elders were so kind to Yu Xiaogang, this good-for-nothing.
On his way home from the training room, the ordinary members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan kept giving Yu Xiaogang strange looks.
"Speaking of which, the speed at which his soul power has increased in the past two years is so fast, it's completely beyond what one level of innate soul power should be like."
"What else could it be? He took advantage of the sect leader."
"Yes, he has a Title Douluo father, something we can only envy."
"Hmph, with a father like the sect leader, he doesn't seem to have much talent. He's a disgrace to our sect!"
"Keep your voice down, didn't you see even the elders were treating him kindly?"
"Sigh, that's fate. By the way, with his talent, how many years do you think it will take for his first spirit ring to appear?"
"Hard to say, level one innate soul power, a little over a hundred years old?"
"I hope it turns out to be a white spirit ring; that would be truly embarrassing!"
