Refining the Dragon Source Fruit, Breaking Through to Rank Fourteen!

"Big Brother, why didn't you tell us about this sooner?!" After understanding the whole story, Yu Luomian said angrily, "If we'd known about this from the start, it was only one Dragon Source Fruit. How could we possibly have refused!"

"Ahem."

Yu Yuanzhen gave a dry cough. At the very beginning, he simply had not come up with a proper excuse yet.

One of the elders beside them tried to smooth things over. "After all, Tianlin obtained such an opportunity. It was understandable that the sect master wanted to keep it hidden."

Yu Luomian refused to let it go. "Since you decided to hide it from the start, then you should have kept hiding it. Now you suddenly tell us—what is this supposed to be?"

"Alas, I would have liked to keep hiding it, but it can't be hidden anymore." Yu Yuanzhen turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, raised his head, and gave a long sigh. "Didn't you see? It has only been four months, yet Tianlin's First Soul Ring has already turned yellow. In another few years, breaking through to the Thousand Year Level won't be a problem. When the time comes and his First Soul Ring turns purple, even a fool will know something is wrong."

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen explain it this way, Yu Luomian's expression eased considerably, and he nodded. "True. If it were only a soul bone, as long as he didn't take the initiative to use it, no one else would discover it. But a soul ring is different. As long as Martial Soul Possession is used, the soul ring will inevitably appear. There's simply no way to hide it."

"That's why I'm telling you now. One person's plans are limited; two people's skills are greater. Let's all discuss it together and see how this should be handled—whether to continue hiding it or directly reveal it to the outside world." As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen took a golden fruit from his own Storage Soul Tool and handed it to Yu Tianlin. "Tianlin, this is the Dragon Source Fruit. Take it and go back first. I'll discuss your matter with the elders."

"Take Tianqing back with you as well."

Yu Luomian also spoke, handing Yu Tianqing, whom he had been holding the whole time, over to Yu Tianlin.

Yu Tianlin nodded, took the Dragon Source Fruit, stored it in the Dragon Mark Ring, then hoisted Yu Tianqing up and turned to leave the hall.

After leaving the hall, Yu Tianlin first sent Yu Tianqing back to his home before returning to his own.

At this moment, Yu Tianlin's parents—Yu Mingfeng and Yu Rou—were anxiously waiting at home.

Seeing Yu Tianlin return, Yu Rou hurried forward and asked, "Tianlin, how was it? Did you win?"

Yu Mingfeng did not speak, but his slightly trembling hands revealed the tension in his heart.

Yu Tianlin smiled and directly took the Dragon Source Fruit out of the Dragon Mark Ring. "Of course I did. Look what this is."

"The Dragon Source Fruit?!" Looking at the golden fruit in Yu Tianlin's hand, Yu Mingfeng finally spoke. An excited smile appeared on his face, which had been tense the whole time. "Good, good! As expected of my son!"

"It's good that you won, good that you won..."

Yu Rou let out a long breath, and her whole person looked much more relaxed. She knew exactly how her son had trained over these four months. If he had put in so much effort only to fail in the end, she had truly been afraid her son would be struck down and never recover.

"Hurry back to your room and take this Dragon Source Fruit. It will definitely make up for the Dragon Power you're lacking." After his excitement passed, Yu Mingfeng finally calmed down and said, "Dad will stand guard for you."

"Mm."

Yu Tianlin nodded, took the Dragon Source Fruit, and returned to his room.

There was no special way to eat the Dragon Source Fruit. He just had to chew the whole thing up and swallow it. Yu Tianlin sat cross-legged on the bed, stuffed the Dragon Source Fruit into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it.

Very soon, Yu Tianlin felt a surge of heat rise from his Dantian. He hurriedly entered a meditative state, circulated the Thunder Dragon Art, and refined the Dragon Source Fruit's energy.

Time slowly passed. After about half an hour, the effects of the Dragon Source Fruit fully took hold, and some changes began to appear on Yu Tianlin's body.

The lightning pattern between Yu Tianlin's brows flickered bright and dim, and his whole body was wrapped in a faint layer of electric light. Beneath the electric light, illusory blue-purple Dragon Scales vaguely appeared around his right arm.

Most eye-catching of all was Yu Tianlin's soul ring. That pale yellow soul ring flashed wildly, rapidly circling around his body.

After another half an hour, Yu Tianlin finally finished absorbing the Dragon Source Fruit's energy, and all the changes on his body settled down.

"Phew—" Letting out a long breath, Yu Tianlin slowly opened his eyes and murmured to himself, "I didn't expect this Dragon Source Fruit to be able to increase my Soul Power as well as replenish my Dragon Power."

"My current Soul Power should be rank fourteen."

Feeling the increased Soul Power within his body, Yu Tianlin compared it to before and quickly judged his current level.

Eating one Dragon Source Fruit had raised Yu Tianlin's level from rank twelve to rank fourteen, increasing his cultivation by two ranks.

Sure enough, compared to those Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, the Dragon Source Fruit was still far too lacking. Yu Tianlin was only at the realm of a one-ring soul master right now, yet it had actually only raised him by two ranks.

One had to know that when the Seven Devils took Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, all of them had already reached the realm of three-ring Soul Elders, much higher than Yu Tianlin's current level. Even so, after eating Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs, the lowest among them had increased by five ranks, while the highest had even reached seven ranks.

Fortunately, Yu Tianlin's purpose in taking the Dragon Source Fruit was not to raise his level, but to make up for his Dragon Power. These extra two ranks of cultivation counted as an unexpected delight.

Yu Tianlin stretched out his right hand and clenched it in midair. He could feel that there was an extra power in his right arm. It should be the Dragon Power his grandfather and the others had spoken of.

Yu Tianlin tried to activate this Dragon Power, but found it extremely difficult. There was a sense of emptiness and a lack of follow-through. No matter how he urged it on, the Dragon Power showed no response.

"As expected, my Dragon Power is still too weak right now. I simply can't enter the Dragon Transformation state."

Realizing that he truly could not undergo Dragon Transformation, Yu Tianlin shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

He had thought that since he was a transmigrator, he should at least be different from ordinary people somehow.

Normal Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soul masters entered the Dragon Transformation state at three rings. He felt that maybe he could do it at one ring.

Yet reality told him not to think he could do whatever he wanted just because he was a transmigrator!

"I'm now six years and four months old, and my Soul Power cultivation has already reached rank fourteen."

"Judging from the information I obtained, I should be about a month older than Tang San. In other words, Tang San is only six years and three months old right now."

Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin could not help revealing a faint smile.

Tang San was currently in Holy Soul Village, and his father did not care about him. He could only wait for Spirit Hall's once-a-year awakening. Maybe his martial soul had not even awakened yet.

Even if Tang San had awakened his martial soul, he would still have to wait until the Junior Soul Master Academy started in a few months before he could meet his second uncle, Yu Xiaogang, then add a soul ring under Yu Xiaogang's guidance and reach rank thirteen.

By that time, his own Soul Power should already have broken through to rank fifteen, directly surpassing him by two ranks.

Putting other aspects aside for now, at least in terms of Soul Power, he could be considered temporarily ahead of Tang San.

Although he had never met Tang San, Yu Tianlin had always regarded him as a rival in his heart.

As long as he could ensure that he was always stronger than Tang San, wouldn't Becoming a God be a piece of cake?
