Haotian Has Twin Stars, Blue Lightning Has Five Absolutes

Haotian Has Twin Stars, Blue Lightning Has Five Absolutes

At the center of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Awakening Hall stood a vast awakening plaza, surrounded by seated spectators. Before the Spirit Awakening platform sat Sect Leader Yu Yuanzhen. Two elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sat on either side of him: Yu Luoguan and Yu Luomian to the left, Yu Luotang and Yu Luohuang to the right. Below them were numerous Soul Saints and Spirit Emperors from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

This Spirit Awakening ceremony was exceptionally grand, gathering nearly all the core figures of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The reason was simple. Among those participating in the awakening this year were no fewer than five direct descendants, including Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaomen. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan differed from the Clear Sky Sect. Although the Clear Sky Sect had lost Tang Chen, it still had the Haotian Twins to succeed him. Meanwhile, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been declining for years. Only Yu Yuanzhen, its sole Title Douluo, struggled to support it, barely preserving the dignity of the Upper Three Sects.

Thus, the clan placed immense importance on this Spirit Awakening. Naturally, the most closely watched was Yu Yuanzhen's biological son, Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang's mother, Wang Bilian, was born from a marriage alliance between Yu Yuanzhen and Wang Bilian of a collateral branch, who possessed Innate Soul Power at level eight. His father's supreme talent, combined with his mother's excellent aptitude, made Yu Xiaogang the person most likely to inherit—or even surpass—Yu Yuanzhen's talent. As for Yu Xiaomen, his mother, Yun Niang, was not even a Soul Master. He could barely be considered an extra.

Yu Yuanzhen's gaze swept across the children taking part in the awakening before finally settling on Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang stood in the center, head held high and chest thrust out, his hands clasped behind his back. Unlike the other nervous children, he appeared exceptionally confident.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang so assured, Yu Yuanzhen revealed a gentle smile and beckoned. "Xiao Gang, come here." He then looked at Yu Xiaomen, who stood beside Yu Xiaogang with his head lowered, and a trace of displeasure flashed through his eyes. He had always disliked this timid child, but the boy was still his son. Thus, Yu Yuanzhen said coldly, "Xiao Men, you come too."

"Yes, Father." Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaomen answered together, then walked over to Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Yuanzhen pulled Yu Xiaogang into his arms and stroked his flat-top. "Are you confident about this awakening ceremony?"

Rather than answer directly, Yu Xiaogang asked, "Dad, when you awakened your martial spirit back then, what level was your Innate Soul Power?"

"Your father's was level 9.5, just a little short of full soul power," Yu Yuanzhen answered.

The corners of Yu Xiaogang's lips rose as he said confidently, "Then my Innate Soul Power will definitely be full soul power."

Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and laughed heartily. "Hahaha! Good! Then I'll look forward to the birth of a genius with a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirit and Innate Full Soul Power."

Having said that, he looked at Yu Xiaomen beside him and asked, "What about you? Are you confident?"

"Replying to Father, I..." Yu Xiaomen hesitated.

Yu Yuanzhen sighed. "Forget it. I don't have much expectation for you either. As long as your Innate Soul Power is above level six, I'll guarantee you the status of a Core Disciple. In the future, it'll be enough for you to become a Soul Saint in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes rolled as he secretly calculated that once the Spirit Awakening ceremony was over, he would order the servants to seize Yu Xiaomen's resources, preventing him from developing properly so that he could enjoy twice the resources alone.

Yu Yuanzhen turned his attentive gaze back to Yu Xiaogang. "Then, Xiao Gang, do you plan to awaken first or last?"

Yu Xiaogang smiled smugly. "Father, the protagonist always makes his entrance last. Let everyone else awaken their martial spirits first. I'll awaken afterward."

"Hahaha! Good, then let the surprise be saved for the end." Yu Yuanzhen instructed the person overseeing the awakening ceremony, "This time, let the disciples of the affiliated clans and outer sect awaken first, followed by the Core Disciples. My two sons will awaken last."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Following Yu Yuanzhen's order, the person in charge of the ceremony responded. Then, the Spirit Awakening ceremony officially began.

"Chen Xuan. Martial spirit: Earth Tyrant Dragon. Innate Soul Power: level four."

"Lu Ming. Martial spirit: Wyvern. Innate Soul Power: level five."

"Le Kai. Martial spirit: Flying Lizard. Innate Soul Power: level three."

As beams of awakening light flashed one after another, the disciples of the affiliated clans awakened their martial spirits in succession. Although all of them possessed the potential to become Soul Masters, having Innate Soul Power at level five already qualified one as a fairly talented little genius. Some were ecstatic after awakening powerful talents, while others silently stepped down from the platform because their martial spirit talents were unsatisfactory.

After the awakening ceremony for the affiliated clan disciples ended, it was the outer sect disciples' turn to awaken their martial spirits.

"Yu Xiaotian. Martial spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Innate Soul Power: level six."

"Yu Xiaoshan. Martial spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Innate Soul Power: level five."

"Yu Xiaoming. Martial spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Innate Soul Power: level six."

The outer sect disciples all awakened Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial spirits, and their overall talent was higher than that of the affiliated clan disciples. However, First Elder Yu Luoguan shook his head and sighed. "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is getting worse with every generation."

Yu Luomian said, "The awakening ceremony for the outer sect disciples isn't the focus this time. What matters is our direct descendants."

Yu Luotang stroked his chin. "I hope Ren'er can give this old man a surprise!"

Yu Luohuang said, "I hope all five little ones can awaken good talents. Then the Clear Sky Sect can have twin stars, while our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can have Five Absolutes of Blue Lightning."

"Five Absolutes of Blue Lightning?" Yu Yuanzhen said without much hope. "Surely the children of us old fellows can't all awaken Soul Power above level eight. I don't hold out hope that all five will be extraordinarily gifted. As long as there are two, I'll be at ease. We can make a pair of twin stars like the Clear Sky Sect."

Hearing the description "Five Absolutes of Blue Lightning," Yu Xiaogang's heart filled with disdain. Of course he knew whom the elder meant by those five people, but he glanced at Yu Xiaomen beside him and sneered inwardly, You think you deserve it too?

At last, only five children remained to undergo Spirit Awakening. Everyone's eyes focused on those final five children, especially Yu Xiaogang, who stood in the center. In a sense, these five represented the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Next, Yu Xiaoren!"

The child of Third Elder Yu Luotang was the first to step onto the awakening platform and stand at the center of the ceremony. The awakening Soul Master helped him awaken his martial spirit. Lightning flashed as the shadow of a dragon emerged. As expected, his martial spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and his Innate Soul Power was level eight.

Yu Luotang murmured, "Level-eight Soul Power? Not bad. He'll definitely become a Soul Douluo in the future. If he works hard enough, perhaps he might even break through to the Title Douluo rank."

Yu Luomian shook his head beside him. "Hard. Too hard. Don't forget, my Innate Soul Power was level eight back then too."

"Next, Yu Xiaozhu."

The child of First Elder Yu Luoguan stepped onto the platform. His martial spirit awakened as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but his Innate Soul Power was slightly lower than Yu Xiaoren's.

"Only level 7.5 Soul Power?" Yu Luoguan's expression darkened, but he could only accept the result. It seems my branch will decline in the future.

"Next, Yu Xiaoke."

Yu Luomian's son, Yu Xiaoke, stepped onto the platform. His martial spirit awakened as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and his Innate Soul Power was level eight. His talent was quite good, but it was still not enough for him to become the clan's figurehead.
