"You, you!" Yu Xiao Gang pointed at the crowd surrounding him.
Facing the doubts of the crowd and the disappointment of his father, Yu Xiao Gang could no longer endure the pressure, and his mind completely collapsed. He ran outside, right in front of everyone.
In the days that followed, the once-promising Yu Xiao Gang became a pathetic, listless figure, enduring the ridicule of the sect disciples every day.
Yu Xiao Gang could only bear it silently. And after awakening his Martial Soul, he had once fantasized that even with a 0.5-level Innate Soul Power, he could still cultivate to become a Title Soul Sage. But reality slapped him in the face; his cultivation speed was incredibly slow. Even ordinary disciples within the sect were cultivating faster than him. From then on, Yu Xiao Gang slowly began to decline.
Yu Xiao Gang's mother was heartbroken, watching her son step by step fall into despair. She felt pained and desperately searched for a way to evolve her son's Martial Soul.
Finally, Yu Xiao Gang's mother heard of an incident regarding Martial Soul Evolution.
Two years ago, a poison-type Soul Master, severely wounded, wandered the Continent seeking treatment. He repeatedly hit dead ends, and even the legendary leaf-type Martial Soul of the Ye Family, known for their healing abilities, was powerless to help. Finally, the poison-type Soul Master, clinging to a sliver of hope, went to Forget Worries Pavilion for treatment. In the following days, the wounded Soul Master didn't leave Forget Worries Pavilion, staying inside without emerging. Unexpectedly, something extraordinary happened. The Soul Master's injuries were completely healed, and his Martial Soul evolved from an Emerald Scale Snake into an Emerald Scale Snake Emperor, and his Soul Power soared to seventy levels of Soul Sage.
In the days that followed, the Soul Sage would bring his son to visit Forget Worries Pavilion every day, always leaving with a smile on his face.
This led to rumors that Forget Worries Pavilion had a method for Martial Soul Evolution. The news caused a stir throughout the Tian Dou Empire, but everyone was wary of the Pavilion's formidable power and refrained from directly seizing it.
Finally, the Soul Sage publicly stated that he had survived the crisis thanks to his accumulated strength and the Pavilion's miraculous healing, and that his Martial Soul's evolution was merely a stroke of luck. He hoped people wouldn't trouble Forget Worries Pavilion any further, and that challenging the Pavilion would be seen as an act of hostility towards his Dugu Family.
Thus, most people in the Tian Dou Empire gradually abandoned their greed, and the news about Forget Worries Pavilion's ability to evolve Martial Souls faded away. However, a small number of people still harbored ambitions, but for Forget Worries Pavilion, their greed was insignificant. The three sisters then returned to their peaceful lives.
When Yu Xiao Gang's mother heard this news, she was overjoyed, believing that Forget Worries Pavilion was her son's last hope for a better future. But she remembered the order her husband had issued years ago, forbidding anyone from troubling the three sisters of Forget Worries Pavilion.
Yu Xiao Gang's mother was torn between her husband and her son. After much deliberation, she stood by her son. Even if the hope was slim, she had to try, she would never give up, and she would revitalize her son.
With that in mind, Yu Xiao Gang's mother rushed to find her husband, Yu Ze Zhen.
Yu Ze Zhen was also excited upon hearing the news, but he hesitated, remembering the terrifying expert who had descended upon the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect years ago.
Several years ago, Yu Ze Zhen had just broken through to the level of Title Soul Sage, his heart full of ambition. He felt he had finally ascended to the ranks of the Continent's powerful, but soon after, a white-haired youth descended upon the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect. The youth's hands crackled with lightning, and with a single strike, shattered Yu Ze Zhen's pride, warning him not to trouble the three sisters of Forget Worries Pavilion before leaving.
In the days that followed, Yu Ze Zhen learned of the relationship between the three sisters of Forget Worries Pavilion and the white-haired youth and issued a strict order to the sect disciples forbidding them from provoking the three sisters. Anyone who disobeyed would face execution.
As a result, just a few days ago, his son's Martial Soul awakening had failed, and he had become a laughingstock. Now, saving his son's future might depend on Forget Worries Pavilion.
Thinking about this, Yu Ze Zhen was deeply conflicted. He didn't want to have anything to do with Forget Worries Pavilion, fearing that a conflict between his sect disciples and the three sisters would lead to disaster. But considering his son's current situation, Yu Ze Zhen gritted his teeth and agreed.
Yu Ze Zhen said to his wife with a serious expression, "You can seek help from Forget Worries Pavilion for Xiao Gang, but you must not force or intimidate the three sisters."
"And I will select a Soul Bone from the sect's treasury as compensation."
Upon hearing her husband's decision, Yu Xiao Gang's mother was overjoyed. She knew what this decision meant to her husband. She also knew the white-haired youth, and as sect leader, it was inappropriate for him to privately take a Soul Bone from the sect to protect his son. Even so, her husband had made this decision despite the pressure from the sect.
It showed that Yu Ze Zhen hadn't given up on his son; he still held a glimmer of hope that his son could rise again.
Seeing her husband make such an important decision for their sake, Yu Xiao Gang's mother hugged Yu Ze Zhen from behind and whispered a quiet "thank you."
Yu Ze Zhen's current situation allowed him to reach back and gently patted his wife, saying softly, "Don't worry, even if Xiao Gang's Martial Soul and talent truly cannot be changed, I will never let you down."
"You have always been by my side, encouraging me through thick and thin."
"That's how I became the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect."
"Rest assured, I'm here."
Hearing her husband's gentle voice, Yu Xiao Gang's mother couldn't hold back and began to cry, embracing Yu Ze Zhen tightly.
Yu Xiao Gang and his mother were intrinsically linked. These days, because of the problems with Yu Xiao Gang's Martial Soul awakening, she had also suffered, enduring countless grievances. Yet, even so, her husband hadn't given up on her or her son, still holding hope for them. She could only imagine how much her husband cherished her.
At that moment, outside the door, a small figure stood, listening to everything within. Looking at his mother crying inside, Yu Xiao Gang's heart was filled with mixed emotions. He resolved to excel, to become a powerful figure, even if he couldn't become a strong warrior in the future. He would achieve fame throughout the Continent in another way, so that his mother would be proud of him.
