A Wind Called Gang Zi Begins to Swirl Again
As Bibi Dong faced the Eighth Trial of Rakshasa once again, attempting to obtain Rakshasa Heart, Yu Xiaogang became somewhat irritable.
When the Soul Master Competition ended, he returned to his sect with his Titled Douluo father. However, just a few days later, he received news that the Clear Sky Sect had been wiped out. He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to leave his room, fearing that his previous master-disciple relationship with Tang San would implicate him.
He only felt somewhat at ease when news of Tang Yuehua's death arrived and no one came looking for him.
Regarding Tang Hao's death, he could only say it was a good death. In his heart, he felt that he had become what he was today because of Tang Hao.
As for Tang San, he felt a little regretful, but quickly put it out of his mind.
The person is dead, what's the point of thinking about them?
As for the so-called master-disciple relationship, the deep bond between father and son, the debt is settled with death, and the past is too painful to recall.
Instead of living in the past, we should look to the future.
His life in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not pleasant.
It should be noted that he was publicly expelled from the sect. He originally planned to use the Bone Exchange Secret Method, along with his father's help, to make a glorious return.
But with the Clear Sky Sect incident before him, how could he dare to bring it up again? In fact, he was somewhat relieved that Tang Hao and his son had taken full responsibility for the secret technique without mentioning him at all, thus saving him from disaster.
He also practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Han Li had spread, and yes, it was very useful to him, but the only problem was that he dared not continue practicing it.
The fact that Dai Mubai was killed on the spot gave him a great deal of shock.
Others might not know, but how could he not know? He had also Bone Replacement, and all four limbs had been replaced. He wasn't sure when he would develop the same Soul Beast aura as them if he continued to cultivate.
This caused him great pain. In the past, he was limited by his talent and could not break through no matter how hard he cultivated. Now, he could cultivate, and even the Soul Ancestor was right in front of him, but he dared not cultivate. This frustration was driving him crazy.
But within the sect, he was like a guest. Apart from his father, no one paid him any attention. Every time he stepped out of his room, he felt that everyone's eyes were on him, secretly mocking him.
He wanted to leave again. He felt that if he stayed in the family any longer, he would really go crazy. Recently, the situation on the mainland had been very stable. If he left, he might be able to start anew.
From what had happened before, he came to the conclusion that the Spirit Hall was truly powerful, the kind of power that was unparalleled on the continent.
He plans to continue down the same path as before and choose to join the Spirit Hall.
Of course, he wasn't unprepared; he knew very well what everyone on the mainland was most concerned about right now.
That is the Mysterious Heaven Skill that Han Li, the Spirit Hall Saint Child, publicly revealed.
Unfortunately, he also had a Sisi "study" on the Mysterious Heaven Skill. Yes, he had studied it seriously.
During his time at the sect, he, who was reluctant to go out, naturally did not remain idle. He compared the meridian diagrams he had previously compiled and practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill himself. He felt that he could offer a small, immature suggestion.
Of course, for personal reasons, he did not dare to try it himself.
He felt it was really possible, he was certain, so he chose to burn the marked meridian diagram and keep the information deep in his mind, which would be his capital for future negotiations.
However, Gang Zi was unaware that the meridian diagram in the simplified version of the Mysterious Heaven Skill had been deliberately shortened by Han Li, and the places he marked were referred to as the Ren and Du Meridians in Tang San's mind.
He was even more unaware that in the authentic Mysterious Heaven Skill that Han Li handed over to the Spirit Hall, the Ren and Du Meridians belonged to the circulation route in the eighth level of the Mysterious Heaven Skill internal energy cultivation method after breaking through to the Soul Saint.
In the Douluo Continent, Soul Master's Innate Soul Power, to some extent, represents the breadth and unobstructedness of the meridians in their body.
Without any extraordinary encounters, only by reaching the Soul Saint level can one achieve the state where all the meridians are open, and the Ren and Du Meridians are never easy to break through.
After making the decision, Yu Xiaogang took the initiative to approach his sect leader father, accompanying him and even assisting him in handling some family matters.
Yu Yuanzhen was very happy about Yu Xiaogang's change. He felt that his son had finally matured in his fifties. Although it was a bit late, it was not too late for him as Super Douluo.
For half a month, he had a smile on his face.
Then, he saw Yu Xiaogang kneel down in front of him.
"Xiaogang, get up! What are you doing?"
Yu Yuanzhen looked at his son reproachfully and was about to pull him up, but he stopped when he saw Yu Xiaogang's serious eyes.
"I'm sorry, Father. It's all my fault for the past few decades, and I've made you worry."
After saying that, he kowtowed three times.
Yu Yuanzhen felt both heartache and relief; Xiao Gang had truly grown up.
"It's alright, it's alright, it's not too late."
After all, he was his own son. Yu Yuanzhen was afraid that he would kowtow again, so he forcibly pulled him up and pressed him down on a chair.
"You've always been stubborn since you were little. It's great that you've come to your senses now. From now on, you'll stay by my side and help me handle family affairs. You can continue cultivating now, and breaking through to the Soul Ancestor won't be a problem."
"After some time, I will find you a marriage partner. With me here, you can rest assured that no one will dare to say anything."
Yu Yuanzhen's words were quite domineering, and in fact, he could really do it.
If Yu Xiaogang hadn't been so proud, had such an eccentric personality, and had been so self-destructive, he wouldn't have been willing to accept his kindness at all. Given his status, and Yu Xiaogang being his son, who would dare to say anything openly? Look at Tang Yuehua, does anyone in the Clear Sky Sect dare to gossip about her?
Hearing his father's words, Yu Xiaogang felt a surge of emotion and was even tempted to stay, just as his father suggested.
But when his gaze fell on his father, on the emblem representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the mocking and contemptuous looks from the clan members in the shadows once again stung his sensitive heart.
Yu Yuanzhen naturally noticed the change in his emotions. He opened his mouth, about to say something, when he heard Yu Xiaogang's voice.
"Thank you, Father. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want to cause you any more trouble because of me."
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang raised his head and spoke very seriously and sincerely.
He could sense his father's emotions and had never resented him. From childhood to adulthood, Yu Yuanzhen's care for him far exceeded that of his brothers and sisters. He had also once been furious because of him and warned everyone in the sect.
But people's hearts cannot be changed by his strength. It can be said that Yu Yuanzhen has absolutely done nothing to wrong him. Even when he was expelled from the sect, it was out of necessity. Afterwards, he took the initiative to find him and make amends.
His unwillingness to stay in the sect was also a way of escaping Yu Yuanzhen's care and concern.
"Xiao Gang, you actually..."
Yu Yuanzhen looked at his notorious good-for-nothing son with complicated emotions. After all, he was his son.
"No, Father, let me be willful one more time. Anyway, my reputation won't get any worse."
Yu Xiaogang interrupted his father, fearing that if Yu Yuanzhen continued, he might actually agree.
Yu Yuanzhen stared at him blankly for a long time, then closed his eyes before opening them again. "Okay, you go first, but I can't guarantee I'll agree. If I don't think it's appropriate, you'll just have to do as I say and live the rest of your life well, okay?"
He was very serious. The situation on the mainland seemed peaceful, but undercurrents were surging. He wanted to be a good father, but he was also the head of a sect.
"Can."
Yu Xiaogang nodded. He needed his father's financial support; otherwise, he wouldn't have made the necessary changes half a month ago.
"Father, I am preparing to return to Spirit City."
He mustered his courage and finally told Yu Yuanzhen his plan.
What are you going to Spirit City for?
Yu Yuanzhen frowned, puzzled by his choice. Yu Xiaogang's bad reputation truly began to spread throughout the continent after he went to Spirit City.
"I'll go find Bibi Dong and try my best to gain the friendship of the Spirit Hall."
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's expression turn grim, Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke before he could say anything more, "Father, please don't be so quick to refuse. I have thought this through carefully."
"The power of the Spirit Hall can be seen from the Clear Sky Sect incident. After the Clear Sky Sect was destroyed, they even reached a more friendly relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire."
"Father, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is not as strong as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We should make plans as soon as possible."
He paused for a moment, then gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Father, as you know, I once met Bibi Dong... In fact, to tell you the truth, I met her once before the Martial Soul Tournament."
"You went to see her again?"
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, wanting to slap him. To be honest, he still couldn't understand what had happened between the two of them. He was also very puzzled as to how Bibi Dong had taken a liking to his son.
"Well, she wasn't exactly friendly to me, but she wasn't hostile either."
Yu Xiaogang did not reveal that he went to Bibi Dong to ask Tang San for the method of cultivating Twin Martial Souls, but this matter is now a slippery slope that cannot be touched.
He knew very well that Bibi Dong's attitude towards him was quite good when they last met, before Tang San was mentioned.
Although he swore he would never go to Bibi Dong again, times have changed. He admitted that there was an element of gambling involved, but he was really unwilling to watch the opportunity to become famous slip away from him.
"So, what exactly do you want to do?"
Yu Yuanzhen gave him a deep look.
"I want to act as a bridge between the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Unlike back then, Bibi Dong is now the leader of the Spirit Hall."
"Don't worry, I don't expect things to repeat themselves. I just hope that she can remember our past relationship and take this opportunity to ease the tension between us. It might be of great benefit to the sect in the future."
"I will still appear as a scholar. The Mysterious Heaven Skill is currently causing such a stir across the continent is just an excuse. If it succeeds, great; if it doesn't, it won't be any worse than it is now, right?"
"As for failure, I'm not afraid of being ridiculed. I've gotten used to it over the years. When the time comes, you can also claim that I have nothing to do with the sect. After all, it's a public fact and won't affect anyone."
"I was ignorant before, but now I only want to do something for you and for the sect. I beg you, Father, to grant my request."
Yu Xiaogang concealed his true purpose in his many remarks, took two steps back, his upper body at a 90-degree angle to the ground, and bowed to Yu Yuanzhen.
He desperately wanted to improve.
