Agreement: A Battle Four Months Later!

Yu Luomian did not back down at all. "Ever since that battle six years ago between Clear Sky Douluo and Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff, the Clear Sky Sect announced its withdrawal. The situation on the continent may look calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging."

"After Spirit Hall's previous Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, died from his severe injuries, no one knows what this newly appointed Bibi Dong is scheming. I always feel like she's been targeting our Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, whether intentionally or otherwise."

"And the Clear Sky Sect has hidden itself in some godforsaken corner, so our best choice right now can only be to ally with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and jointly resist the pressure from Spirit Hall. But the current leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi, is no simple figure either. He's deep and calculating. Forming an alliance won't be easy."

Yu Luomian looked straight at his elder brother, Yu Yuanzhen, and said in a low voice, "In the end, you need to be strong yourself before anything else. That is why we six elders gave up our own shares of the Dragon Source Fruits and gave all of them to you, hoping you could take another step forward and break through to Level Ninety-Seven. Only then would our Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect have the confidence to face every difficulty."

At this point, Yu Luomian laughed self-mockingly. "If we elders had taken our own Dragon Source Fruits, maybe all of us could have broken through our current levels, and I might even have had a slight chance of breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm. Yet we chose to give them up and hand all the Dragon Source Fruits to you, and now you're thinking of giving them to Tianlin."

Yu Yuanzhen had been quietly listening to his younger brother's explanation the entire time. Now, hearing him mention Yu Tianlin, Yu Yuanzhen finally spoke. "Luomian, Tianlin is an Innate Full Soul Power genius who only appears once in a hundred years in our Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. His talent is unmatched, and cultivating to level ninety-five won't be a problem for him. Now there's a small issue with his soul ring. If we don't remedy it, his talent will go to waste!"

Yu Luomian retorted, "Brother! Some matters are more urgent than others! Even calculating based on the age of Tang Hao, the youngest Titled Douluo right now, Tianlin would still need forty years to break through to the Titled Douluo realm. After forty years, who knows what the situation on the continent will have become? The most pressing matter right now is to raise your strength!"

Yu Yuanzhen fell silent for a moment, then said without giving an inch, "I am the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect. What I say goes! The Dragon Source Fruits must be given to him!"

"Brother, are you really going to do this?" Yu Luomian had not expected that after saying so much, it would all turn out to be nonsense, with Yu Yuanzhen not taking in a single word. He could not help but say angrily, "Fine. Since that's the case, then let's set some rules."

"Last night, I awakened Tian Qing's martial soul. As expected, his martial soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and his Innate Soul Power was eight and a half." Yu Luomian said, "In four months, Tian Qing's soul power will definitely be able to break through to level ten. When the time comes, I'll naturally take him to find a suitable soul ring. Once he reaches level eleven, let Tian Qing and Tianlin fight. If Tianlin wins, the Dragon Source Fruits can be given to him. If Tianlin loses, then this matter is not to be mentioned again!"

Yu Luomian sneered. "How about it? That counts as fair, doesn't it? Four months from now, Tianlin will definitely have already reached level twelve, perhaps even close to level thirteen. He'll hold a certain advantage in soul power. At that time, even if his soul ring is a little worse than Tian Qing's, once they cancel each other out, their strengths should be about the same."

Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Yuanzhen said angrily, "Luomian, you awakened Tian Qing's martial soul last night? Isn't he not even six yet? How could you mess around like that? What if something went wrong?"

"He's my own grandson. I know what I'm doing. Tian Qing is less than a month away from six, that's all. It won't have much effect," Yu Luomian said. "But you, Brother—do you dare accept this challenge?"

Yu Yuanzhen did not hesitate either and directly agreed. "Fine. Then they'll fight! You think my grandson can't beat your grandson?"

"Then that's settled. I'll go back now and inform the other elders. I imagine they won't have any other objections." Having received a definite answer, Yu Luomian turned and prepared to leave. When he reached the entrance of the Council Hall, he suddenly turned his head and said to Yu Yuanzhen, "Brother, before the two children duel, you had better not give the Dragon Source Fruits to Tianlin in advance."

Yu Yuanzhen said impatiently, "I know. I'm not so shameless as to go back on my word!"

Yu Luomian said nothing more and strode away. However, after he had only walked a few steps, he saw Yu Tianlin running toward the Council Hall.

Why is that brat Tianlin running to the Council Hall again? Could he be going to ask for the Dragon Source Fruits?

Although he was a little puzzled, Yu Luomian did not pay it any mind. He still understood his elder brother. As long as Yu Yuanzhen had agreed to something, he would absolutely not go back on it. That brat Tianlin was destined to make this trip for nothing.

Thinking this, Yu Luomian shook his head, ignored it, and left directly.

Yu Tianlin's soul ring had changed. He was now both surprised and delighted. He vaguely guessed part of the reason, but he did not dare be certain, so he hurried to the Council Hall, wanting his grandfather to take a look and analyze it for him.

This time, Yu Tianlin did not ask the guards to report his arrival. He ran straight into the hall.

"Tianlin, why are you here again?" Seeing that Yu Tianlin had only just gone back not long ago and had now run over again, Yu Yuanzhen understood—or thought he did. He assumed Yu Tianlin had come to ask him for the Dragon Source Fruits, and he said, "I just promised your second grandfather..."

Yet Yu Tianlin directly interrupted Yu Yuanzhen, saying excitedly, "Grandpa, look!"

As he spoke, Yu Tianlin directly activated his soul power. As lightning flickered over his body and a lightning pattern appeared between his brows, a faint yellow ring of light slowly rose.

Excitement shone in Yu Tianlin's eyes. "Grandpa, I don't know why, but my soul ring turned yellow! It's different from the white with yellow mixed in before. This one is pure yellow!"

Yu Yuanzhen had still been thinking about the Dragon Source Fruits. Now, suddenly seeing the faint yellow soul ring on Yu Tianlin's body, he subconsciously rose from his seat.

Yu Tianlin only felt his vision blur, and his grandfather had appeared at his side, observing the soul ring on his body.

"It really is a yellow soul ring!" Yu Yuanzhen's face was full of astonishment. "Although the color is very faint, it has indeed undoubtedly reached the hundred-year level!"

For a moment, Yu Yuanzhen could not understand it either. "That's not right. If a soul ring mutated, that kind of situation would appear during the absorption process. But when I looked at your soul ring earlier, it was still white with yellow mixed in. How did it suddenly change now?"

Yu Tianlin, however, had a guess. He said impatiently, "Just now, this soul ring of mine was still white with yellow mixed in, but now it has suddenly turned yellow. So this change undoubtedly took place during that brief period just now."

At this point, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen looked at each other and said in unison, "Lightning Strike!"
