Departure, Sunset Forest!

Departure, Sunset Forest!

Faced with Yu Yuanzhen's furious roar, Yu Luomian and the others lowered their heads, not daring to utter a single word!

After a long while, Yu Yuanzhen continued, "From this day onward, Yu Tiankong shall be the Young Sect Master of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Pass this order down. Whoever dares show disrespect toward the Young Sect Master shall be treated as a traitor to the clan!"

How weighty were Yu Yuanzhen's words?

Betraying the clan meant immediate execution! Even one's direct relatives would be implicated!

Yet Yu Luomian and the others found it perfectly reasonable!

He was a divine child! Once he grew up, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Clear Sky Sect, and Spirit Hall would all be trampled beneath the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's feet!

"Yes, we will certainly pass on the order and lead by example!"

"Tomorrow, this old man will personally take Tiankong to hunt soul beasts and obtain his soul rings. Make the arrangements during this time."

Yu Yuanzhen's tone softened slightly. These clansmen might be foolish, but they were not beyond saving.

If they truly could not be saved, then he could only abandon some of them!

For the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, sacrificing a portion of its foolish clansmen was worth it!

Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. Hunting for the first and second soul rings under the escort of a Level 96 Super Douluo—such treatment had not even been afforded to Yu Dagang or Yu Tianheng.

If it was Yu Tiankong, then it was reasonable!

As the moon rose and set, the first ray of morning sunlight fell. Two figures quietly left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Kong was leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for the first time. He had been too young before, and without Soul Power, Yu Yuanzhen would never have agreed to let him come out and look around.

This was also for Kong's safety. As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan naturally had no shortage of enemies.

"Tiankong, there are some low-level soul beasts raised by the clan in the Back Mountain, but you probably want to go out and have a look, don't you?"

"This is a rare opportunity, so this old man will accompany you on a trip!"

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile.

The Back Mountain of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan housed some low-level soul beasts with Dragon Clan bloodlines. Most were around a hundred years old, or just over a thousand years old.

They were used by the clan's direct-line disciples to obtain soul rings.

Outer disciples who had contributed to the clan could also bring their descendants there to obtain soul rings.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's outer sect consisted of soul masters with Dragon Clan martial souls or lightning-element martial souls.

Both were equally fierce and domineering.

That was one of the reasons almost no one dared provoke the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Kong glanced at Yu Yuanzhen. The old man truly was busy—busy cultivating, busy handling family and sect affairs.

If he did not need to care about the lives of the other clansmen and could focus solely on cultivation, he would probably have reached Level 97 by now.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Kong thanked him.

He was Yu Yuanzhen's adopted grandson, so it was only natural for him to call Yu Yuanzhen Grandfather.

Besides, Yu Yuanzhen had never treated him poorly.

"Ah, why thank me? This is what Grandfather should do!"

Yu Yuanzhen trembled all over. At this moment, he slightly regretted taking Kong in as his adopted grandson.

This was a divine child! If that "Thunder God" pursued the matter, Yu Yuanzhen might not even live past three chapters!

"Grandfather, which Soul Hunting Forest are we going to?"

Under normal circumstances, soul masters and Soul Grand Masters would go to Soul Hunting Forests to hunt soul beasts.

Compared to primeval forests, Soul Hunting Forests were much safer.

Soul Hunting Forests contained almost nothing but ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts. Once a soul beast grew to a thousand years old, the personnel guarding the Soul Hunting Forest would eliminate it.

"Haha, we're not going to a Soul Hunting Forest."

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. He had said he was taking Kong out to see the world, so how could they possibly go to a Soul Hunting Forest?

The soul beasts there were neither fierce nor powerful enough. The soul rings they produced could not be much good!

After a pause, Yu Yuanzhen continued, "We can go to the Star Dou Great Forest or Sunset Forest."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lay along the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. It was very close to the Star Dou Great Forest, while Sunset Forest outside Heaven Dou City was somewhat farther away.

"Sunset Forest?"

It was a familiar name. Before his martial soul awakened, Kong had often muttered about that forest.

It was also his only backup plan.

If his martial soul awakening had been too poor, or his Innate Soul Power had not been high enough, Kong could only take a gamble in Sunset Forest.

The immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well could defy fate and change one's destiny!

"Alright, we'll go to Sunset Forest!"

Without a moment's thought, Yu Yuanzhen agreed directly.

Kong: "..."

That had been a question, not a statement!

They would first go to Sunset Forest and take a look. If they could pick up a little something along the way, that would not be a bad option either.

The old man and the child headed toward Sunset Forest just like that. There was no carriage, nor did they fly; they simply walked in the most primitive manner.

They passed through several small towns and two major cities along the way. More than half a month later, the two finally arrived in Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest was the largest "Soul Hunting Forest" within the Heaven Dou Empire, as well as a primeval forest.

Though its soul beasts were not as powerful as those in the Star Dou Great Forest, it was still one of humanity's forbidden zones.

If one was unlucky, encountering a soul beast seventy or eighty thousand years old was perfectly normal.

With Yu Yuanzhen at his side, even the mere trace of his aura frightened ordinary ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts into fleeing in every direction, wishing they could grow two more legs!

"Tiankong, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's research into Weapon Martial Souls cannot be considered top-notch, but your divine... ahem, your long-blade martial soul should focus on sharpness and attack, with lightning as a secondary attribute, correct?"

As Yu Yuanzhen spoke, his eyes remained fixed on their surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Kong fell into thought.

In the game, a naginata mainly provided high attack and energy recharge. Once energy recharge reached two hundred percent, any excess energy recharge would be converted into a percentage of attack power.

But this was reality, not a game. The idea that energy recharge reduced cooldowns clearly did not hold up.

High attack, armor piercing, sharpness, elemental attributes, and strength—these attributes were all highly suitable for Engulfing Lightning.

It was a naginata, a long blade, and all these attributes suited it perfectly.

Kong looked at Yu Yuanzhen with some surprise. Was this what he called not knowing much about Weapon Martial Souls?

On second thought, Yu Yuanzhen's words were not without reason. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's main area of study was still Beast Martial Souls. Its research into Weapon Martial Souls was primarily meant to deal with the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword...

After all, no one wanted to be inferior to others.

"Grandfather, the direction for my naginata's soul rings is roughly what you said. The name of my long blade is Engulfing Lightning."

"Engulfing Lightning? That is a rather strange name."

Yu Yuanzhen murmured.

It was a divine artifact. So what if its name was a little strange?

With that thought, Yu Yuanzhen stopped dwelling on it. Regardless of its name, it could not conceal its might!

What Clear Sky Hammer? In the end, it would be trampled beneath Engulfing Lightning!
