Chapter 32 Martial Souls, Even Rarer Than Gods
Over the past two years, he had grown accustomed to the gossip about Yu Xiaogang from the ordinary members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
That's just how the world is. If a powerful father has a useless son, then that father and son will inevitably become objects of gossip.
However, Yu Xiaogang is confident in his future; he believes he can turn things around.
Upon returning home, Yu Xiaogang saw Yu Yuanzhen handling sect affairs.
"Father, I've broken through to level ten!"
Yu Xiaogang approached Yu Yuanzhen and shared the good news with him.
As Yu Xiaogang discovered the whale glue, allowing Yu Yuanzhen to regain face among the elders, Yu Yuanzhen's attitude towards Yu Xiaogang became increasingly caring.
If in the past Yu Yuanzhen believed that Yu Xiaogang could grow up to be successful, it was out of a father's belief in his son.
But even setting aside their father-son relationship, Yu Yuanzhen still believes that Yu Xiaogang can find a way to defy fate.
"Oh? You've already broken through? Hahaha, not bad, not bad at all, much faster than I expected!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen looked up, a smile spreading across his face.
"After all, Little Dragon is different from ordinary martial souls. He can also cultivate with me. My cultivation speed is actually about the same as those who have innate soul power at level four or five."
Yu Xiaogang said.
"Indeed, who would have thought that your martial soul would possess such an incredible ability?"
Yu Yuanzhen said with admiration.
As a titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen was quite knowledgeable.
He had traveled throughout the entire Douluo Continent back then; what kind of strange and unusual martial souls hadn't he seen?
But this is the first time he has ever seen a martial soul like Xiaolong's, which possesses self-awareness, can cultivate and learn independently, and can then be fed back into the soul master.
"It's a pity. If your innate soul power were higher, Little Dragon might have been even stronger."
Yu Yuanzhen's face showed a regretful expression.
Yu Xiaogang's greatest weakness has always been his innate level one soul power.
"I don't think so."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang shook his head.
"When my martial soul awakened, the commotion and the roar clearly indicated that Little Dragon was originally a very powerful martial soul."
"But my innate soul power hindered it, preventing it from successfully coalescing and instead causing it to deteriorate into its current state."
"But it was precisely because of this deterioration that Xiaolong gained consciousness and was able to exist independently of my physical form."
"Many of the subsequent abilities are also based on the premise that Xiaolong exists independently."
"So in my opinion, it's precisely because my talent is so low that Xiaolong was born."
"If I had just a little more talent, my martial soul might be no different from that of a soul master with an ordinary beast martial soul."
"A powerful martial soul, incredibly poor talent, coupled with a unique malignant mutation."
"In the entire Douluo Continent, with all recorded history up to this point, I am the only one who has achieved this. This is far superior to anything like innate full soul power or twin martial souls."
"Even rarer than the legendary path to godhood."
Yu Xiaogang's words left Yu Yuanzhen stunned.
But thinking about it carefully, it does make sense. A person with innate full soul power appears every few years, and a person with twin martial souls appears every few decades or even centuries.
Although Yu Yuanzhen was unaware of the details regarding the legendary gods, there were clues to their existence, such as the fact that Spirit Hall had always worshipped the Angel God.
Legend has it that the Angel God was the founder of Spirit Hall.
Over the past two years, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been collecting whale glue and has also heard legends about the sea god from fishermen and other people along the coast.
Even gods exist in multiple forms, but his son's situation is unique to the continent.
A number even rarer than gods! Isn't that enough to prove how precious the appearance of this little dragon is?
"It's good that you think that way. By the way, you're already level 10."
"I've noticed you've been frequently reading books and researching information these past few years, so what are your plans for your spirit rings?"
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang.
He knew Yu Xiaogang was a very opinionated person, so he wanted to know if there was anything wrong with his plans so that he, as his father, could help him correct them.
"My plan for my first spirit ring is simple: a dragon-type spirit beast, and the purer the bloodline of the dragon, the better!"
"I'm not considering attributes; in fact, I'd like to get a dragon-type soul beast with no attributes if possible."
Yu Xiaogang spoke out about an idea he had considered countless times.
"A dragon-type soul beast with no attribute, and the purer its bloodline, the better?"
"There are quite a few soul beasts with attributes, but those without attributes... those are hard to find."
Yu Yuanzhen began to think of a suitable soul beast.
"I know it's hard to find, but there's nothing I can do. No matter how I test Xiaolong, I can't detect any attribute tendency."
"And among the attributes, there are also opposite attributes such as water and fire, light and darkness."
"If we rashly add attributes to the little dragon, and it happens to be the opposite attribute, it could cause serious problems."
Yu Xiaogang wore a helpless expression as he summoned the little dragon.
He has pale purple fur, large, deep blue eyes, and a slightly plump body.
Generally speaking, one can at least glean some information about a martial soul's attributes from its appearance.
For example, fire-attribute martial souls are mostly red or orange, lightning-attribute martial souls are mostly blue, and wood-attribute and poison-attribute martial souls are mostly green.
But Xiaolong's appearance makes it completely impossible to identify him.
"Alright, let's find a dragon-type soul beast without any elemental attribute."
"But before that, you have to use whale glue, something you discovered to change your destiny."
Yu Yuanzhen went to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out an exquisite box.
Upon opening the box, a series of deep yellow crystals appeared before Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
"These are all ancient whale glues that the family has collected over the past two years."
"I know you want to use whale glue to enhance your physique so you can obtain a first spirit ring with a higher age limit."
"Therefore, I left the highest quality of the ten-thousand-year-old whale glue that the sect has collected over the past two years here."
"It's all for today. Now, pick one."
Yu Yuanzhen smiled and handed the box to Yu Xiaogang.
Looking at the various types of whale glue in the box in front of him, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and, without any hesitation, began selecting from the many types of whale glue.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang picked out and produced a whale-shaped object that somewhat resembled a gold ingot.
This shape is so appealing; you'll like it at first glance.
Holding the whale glue in his hand, Yu Xiaogang's eyes gleamed.
I've always watched others refine whale glue; today, it's finally my turn.
