Yu Yuanzhen: What to Do When the Clan Is Too Stupid?

Yu Yuanzhen: What to Do When the Clan Is Too Stupid?

The moment one foot crossed into the Awakening Hall, several invisible waves of pressure bore down on him.

Several elderly men were already seated properly within the Awakening Hall.

Their expressions were stern and unforgiving, their eyes as sharp as blades.

The first elder below the head seat blew his beard and glared. He slammed a palm onto the table before him and barked, "Yu Tiankong! For something as important as a Martial Soul awakening, you actually came this late! You made the elders wait so long. What crime should you be charged with?!"

This man was none other than Liu Erlong's father and Yu Tianxin's grandfather, Yu Luomian.

His Soul Power Level was currently Level 88, one level below the Level 89 he would reach more than a decade later.

With a bang, the elder at the head of the table slapped the table as well and roared, "Yu Luomian! If you put the effort you use to target children into cultivation, you wouldn't still be stuck at Level 88!"

Yu Luomian's face turned livid at those words. He had never expected his elder brother to rebuke him over an outsider!

Back when they drove that trash Yu Xiaogang out, his elder brother Yu Yuanzhen had turned a blind eye. Yet now, Yu Yuanzhen was using the pain of his entire life to rebuke him for a true outsider!

There was no need to think about it. Yu Yuanzhen was truly angry. If he kept talking, he definitely would not end the day well.

Yu Luomian did not dare say another word. The other elders could barely hold back their laughter. Even Yu Luomian had been put in his place; if any of them dared say anything, Yu Yuanzhen would really make a move!

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen finally resumed the appearance of a kind, grandfatherly old man.

The speed at which he changed expressions left everyone dumbfounded.

Good lord, Yu Yuanzhen had never shown such a smile even toward his own biological grandson!

More often, he wore an expression of disappointment at their failure to meet expectations.

"Come, come, Tiankong. Today is your sixth birthday, and it's also the day your Martial Soul awakens. Your Second Grandpa was just joking with you. He wanted to leave you with a deep impression."

In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen arrived before Kong. He crouched down, took Kong's hand, and led him into the Awakening Hall.

Kong: Do I look like an idiot to you?

Muttering inwardly, Kong nodded without revealing anything.

Once my Martial Soul awakens, I should find an opportunity to leave.

Yu Luomian and the others looked even worse, but they did not dare say anything.

There were unexpectedly quite a few children awakening their Martial Souls today. Perhaps all the children due for awakening this month had been gathered together.

Including Kong, there were fifteen in total. Four were direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, while the rest were children of the outer branch.

Kong had been arranged last, which made him somewhat speechless.

Did a Martial Soul awakening need a "cushion" too?

But Yu Luomian and the others did not see it that way.

These children had all been carefully selected talents, chosen specifically to suppress Kong, this outsider.

As long as a few among them possessed Martial Souls and Innate Soul Power superior to Kong's, would Yu Yuanzhen still have any way to protect a useless child?

They wore cold smiles, waiting to see this wild child make a fool of himself.

Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened again. He glanced thoughtfully at Yu Luomian. This foolish younger brother of his made him want to slap him twice!

He had cultivated to the rank of Soul Douluo and was still this brainless!

If Yu Tiankong had not been special, why would Yu Yuanzhen go this far for him?

This child had been born from lightning!

Whenever Yu Yuanzhen recalled that scene, his entire body could not help trembling. Blinding lightning, rolling heavenly thunder, pressure as though a god had descended...

With his Level 96 strength, Yu Yuanzhen could not even think of resisting beneath such a phenomenon. Simply standing was a problem.

Yet this child had fallen from the lightning and landed right in his hands.

A god. It must have been a god! This one is a child of a god!

No. I absolutely cannot reveal this secret.

Perhaps it was even the legendary Thunder God—the Thunder God's child! A son of a god!

When Kong first opened his eyes and looked at Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Yuanzhen became even more certain of his guess.

It was not as though he had never seen babies before. What baby had such intense emotional fluctuations upon opening its eyes?

His confusion, bewilderment, and incomprehension had all been seen by Yu Yuanzhen.

A moment later, Yu Yuanzhen snapped out of his memories. His gaze toward Yu Luomian and the others carried a trace of disappointment.

What should I do when my clansmen are too stupid? Waiting online. Urgent!

"Begin," Yu Yuanzhen said with a wave of his hand.

The person responsible for today's Martial Soul awakenings was Yu Tianheng's father, Yu Yuanzhen's eldest son, a Soul Saint in his seventies.

He naturally saw Yu Yuanzhen's dissatisfaction, but he did not say anything either.

When his biological younger brother had been driven out of the clan, his father had pretended not to know. Yet an outsider received treatment better than his own younger brother, Yu Xiaogang. How could he not be angry?

Yu Yuanzhen was his father, the sky of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He did not dare speak or complain.

But this outsider...

"Yu Diming, step forward."

Yu Diming was a junior from Yu Luomian's branch. At six, he was still somewhat ignorant and immature, yet he already carried himself with the grace of a refined young noble.

That was how great clans and powerful factions worked. From the moment children began to understand, they were trained in etiquette, knowledge of Soul Masters, clan honor, and more.

"Alright, Grandpa Dagang."

Hearing that form of address, Yu Dagang's face darkened.

His name was the pain of his life!

Look at them—Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, Yu Tianxin, Yu Tianheng, Yu Tiankong, Yu Xiaogang...

Which of those names was not countless times better than Yu Dagang?

He had not understood when he was young. By the time he did, he was afraid of being beaten if he tried to change his name.

Completely unaware, Yu Diming quickly walked to the center of the Awakening Stones.

These Awakening Stones were embedded in the ground for convenient use. In any case, they were worthless, so there was no fear of anyone coveting them.

Besides, would anyone capable of sneaking into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan really set their sights on a few Awakening Stones?

Leaving aside what the thief might think, members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would definitely explode with rage!

"Close your eyes and feel carefully," Yu Dagang said without a trace of emotion.

"Alright, Grandpa Dagang!"

Yu Dagang: "..."

You really didn't have to do this!

Kong watched silently from the side. It was his first time entering the Awakening Hall as well.

No one could be disturbed during a Martial Soul awakening. Other than the clan leader, elders, and the person helping the children awaken their Martial Souls, no one else was permitted to enter the Awakening Hall.

That was the rule, and Kong had no choice but to follow it.

So this is a Martial Soul awakening?

After about a minute, under Yu Dagang's guidance with Soul Power, Yu Diming finally awakened his Martial Soul.

Seeing Yu Diming's Martial Soul, Yu Luomian, the others, and Yu Dagang all changed expressions.

"A Water Dragon Martial Soul. Test your Soul Power."

Yu Diming opened his eyes, which were filled with terror.

His Martial Soul had mutated...
