What Is a Young Master? The Entire Sect Lifting Up One Man

At this moment, Ning Zhenyuan, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, stepped forward and gave Yu Yuanzhen a slight nod.

"Sect Master Yu, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is ready."

At the same time, the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan began to move as well.

Their expressions were solemn as they raised their hands one after another, placing strange stones around the Body Tempering Ground.

These stones were no ordinary kind.

They were pale jade-blue throughout, with threads of lightning slowly flowing within them.

As the stones were set upon the ground, they emitted a humming sound like a dragon's roar, their light intertwining with the lightning from the Thunder Pool.

Jade Marrow Thunder Stones!

Quite a few Sect Elders' hearts bled as they looked at the array formed by the thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunder Stones.

The sect's records stated that such rare stones could only occasionally be found in the core of lightning ore veins.

The purity of the lightning energy they contained was more than ten times that of ordinary Thunder Guiding Stones!

Even rarer, each carried a faint trace of dragon aura, making them almost perfectly compatible with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

Every single one was a treasured reserve kept at the bottom of the sect's coffers, never to be used lightly except for a peerless genius.

Yet this time, they had taken out thirty-six of them!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had truly gone all out this time.

Not only had they emptied their accumulated Body Tempering Resources, they had also made grave promises to the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, paying a very real price to invite the two great sects to guard the proceedings with their full strength.

This was because the sect's Body Tempering Legacy recorded that, for a Soul Master's body tempering, the first time was the most important.

At this stage, a Soul Master's physical body had yet to fully take shape. Like an uncut jade stone, its capacity to absorb lightning energy and immense Medicinal Power was at its peak for an entire lifetime.

The foundation laid during this first time would directly determine the upper limit of one's future path of body tempering.

To achieve the same results afterward, one would have to expend several times, or even over ten times, the resources and time—and might still fail.

Since Yu Xiaoheng had been recognized by the entire sect as the hope of the future, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had resolved to spare no cost in paving a path to the heavens for him!

Looking at everything before him—

The precious medicinal liquid in the barrel, golden light swirling within it and medicinal fragrance nearly taking tangible form.

The thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunder Stones surrounding the area, drawing in the Thunder Pool's lightning and forming a humming Body Tempering Array.

And behind Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan, the grim, battle-ready figures of the elite disciples from two of the Upper Three Sects.

Yu Xiaoheng was completely stunned.

His lips moved as he unconsciously murmured four words.

"Blue Lightning... Young Master..."

Only at this moment did he truly understand the weight behind those four words.

They were not merely a title or an identity.

They represented the entire sect pouring everything it had into supporting and protecting him!

Around the Thunder Pool, every Blue Lightning disciple held their breath, unable to conceal the fervor on their faces as they waited to witness the moment their Young Master underwent a Complete Transformation.

Only one person's face turned livid. He suddenly reached out and seized an elder's sleeve tightly!

Yu Xiaogang!

His voice was somewhat shrill with extreme fury.

"What are you doing? Why? Why are you giving all of that to Yu Xiaoheng?"

The elder whose sleeve he had grabbed frowned, but seeing the twisted expression on his face, he ultimately did not lash out.

Yu Xiaogang stared fixedly at the thirty-six Jade Marrow Thunder Stones, his eyes bloodshot.

"What about mine?!"

He nearly roared the words.

"Didn't you promise that when I underwent body tempering at twelve, you would activate three Jade Marrow Thunder Stones for me?!"

"Now you've used them all! What am I supposed to use?!"

The air froze instantly.

Even the lightning hovering above the Thunder Pool, held in check but not yet unleashed, seemed to quiet down.

Whether it was Tang Wei of the Clear Sky Sect, Ning Zhenyuan of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, or the clan heads of the Four Great Clans, all showed a trace of awkwardness.

This was an internal matter of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As outsiders, they truly had no place to interfere.

Who could have imagined it?

Yu Xiaogang, the man rumored to be elegant and refined, hailed as the "Blue Lightning Qilin Child," would actually make such a disgraceful scene at such an important occasion, right in front of the Sect Masters of two Upper Three Sects.

What he had disgraced was the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Yet Yu Xiaogang, standing at the center of the storm, was exceptionally clear-headed.

He had not gone mad.

Just moments ago, he had still been secretly pleased with himself for "beating" Yu Xiaoheng through his theoretical knowledge.

Yu Xiaoheng had once said something.

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters."

Yu Xiaogang had to admit that perhaps those words were right.

He and Yu Xiaoheng were twins. Their Martial Soul origins shared the same root, and their directions of evolution were highly likely to be the same.

It was only because that damned Yu Xiaoheng had stolen most of the bloodline power while they were still in their mother's womb that his Innate Soul Power had been reduced to a pitiful level 0.7!

At this point, blaming heaven and others was useless. Only action remained!

The clan's body tempering manuals recorded that after certain exceptionally gifted disciples successfully completed their first body tempering, their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Souls would undergo subtle evolution.

Perhaps their dragon scales would become denser, perhaps their Dragon Bodies would grow more majestic, or perhaps the lightning clinging to them would gain a faint purple hue.

Though such improvements were small, they were a leap in essence!

He firmly believed that his Martial Soul, like Yu Xiaoheng's, was the type capable of evolving!

Therefore, he was determined to obtain those three Jade Marrow Thunder Stones!

But now, Yu Xiaoheng had used thirty-six all by himself! The sect's reserves had nearly been emptied—where could they possibly squeeze out another three for him? Even if they had them, they would need to preserve the Core Flame for other geniuses who might emerge in the future!

So he could only make a scene!

He had to blow the matter up in front of all these outsiders!

With everyone watching, the Sect Elders could not openly rebuke him for the sake of face.

And those ordinary disciples, under the pressure of Tang Wei and Ning Zhenyuan, the two Sect Masters, would not dare to cause the same chaos as during the Spirit Awakening and attack him.

This was his only chance!

Yu Xiaogang slowly straightened his back.

He had already thought it through. The moment the elders showed even the slightest willingness to relent, he would immediately take the opening and settle the matter.

Yu Xiaoheng had once believed that rivers and mountains might change, but one's nature was hard to alter.

He was wrong.

Yu Xiaogang had changed.

From the brother who had lived beside him day and night, he had learned something.

The tenacity to never give up until one achieved one's goal.

Yu Xiaogang had witnessed all of Yu Xiaoheng's past persistence.

That was the path of his elder brother, who had been smarter and more mature than him since childhood.

It was only after Yu Xiaoheng had "neglected his proper duties" that people began to say Blue Lightning's future belonged to Xiaogang.

Now...

In the depths of despair, Yu Xiaogang had chosen the same path.

The path of the person he had looked up to in his childhood.

At this point, he had no choice but to fight!

He would study theoretical knowledge, then seize every resource he could.

Fight his way onto a path!

My Martial Soul may not be unable to evolve like Xiao Heng's!

Yu Xiaogang felt that he had already taken the first step, but...

Just then—
