"Insolent!"
Before Yu Yuanzhen could speak.
Yu Luomian exploded into action, fiercely slapping his grandson, Yu Tianxin, across the face.
"Slap!"
Yu Tianxin was sent flying backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with disbelief.
"Grandpa..."
"You scoundrel! How dare you be so disrespectful!"
Yu Luomian roared, then turned to bow to Yu Yuanzhen and the elders:
"My apologies, I have failed in my upbringing."
"This spirit ring is naturally for Xiaogang. This child is ignorant, and I will discipline him strictly when we return."
Yu Luomian's heart was bleeding. Did he not want his grandson to absorb it?
But if he caused internal strife at this moment, he feared all their efforts would be in vain!
After all, there was no precedent for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon absorbing a Devouring Dragon.
However, Three-Eyed Demon could absorb a Devouring Dragon, and there was a precedent for that!
Yu Tianxin covered his face, his eyes filled with venom, staring intently at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang felt that resentment.
But he felt an even greater twisted pleasure:
"Did you see? The family still supports me! I am the protagonist today!"
Black World.
Soul Hunting Forest.
Under the escort of several elders at the Soul Douluo level.
The Devouring Dragon, which had just reached 1000 years old, was beaten to the brink of death.
It was dragged before Yu Xiaogang.
This Devouring Dragon was thin and weak, not in the same league as the ferocious behemoth in the Sky Screen.
But Yu Xiaogang didn't care. He trembled as he finished it off with a single strike.
He sat cross-legged, meditating, and drawing in the spirit ring.
Because he had consumed too much Whale Rubber and heavenly treasures.
Coupled with his physical condition being much stronger than Yu Xiaotian's back then.
After all, he was an adult compared to a seven-year-old child.
The absorption process was unexpectedly smooth.
Half an hour later.
Buzz--
A light purple spirit ring slowly settled onto Three-Eyed Demon.
Yu Xiaogang felt the information feedback from the fluctuation of spirit power within his body.
He frowned slightly.
In the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaotian's spirit skill was clearly called "Devour Heaven Eat Earth."
Why, when it came to him, was it only the simple two words "Devour Eat"?
But he quickly came to terms with it.
Even a smug smile curved his lips:
"Hmph, perhaps the naming convention in that world was just more exaggerated."
"The essence should be the same."
At this moment, seeing Yu Xiaogang successfully absorb the Devouring Dragon, the others were overjoyed!
"He succeeded!"
"Heaven bless our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! He truly succeeded in absorbing it!"
Yu Yuanzhen was ecstatic:
"Xiaogang, quickly! Quickly use your third spirit skill! Let us see the divine might of Devour Heaven Eat Earth!"
Many elders also craned their necks, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Even Yu Luomian, who had a gloomy expression, couldn't help but hold his breath at this moment.
Could it be... that divine skill can truly be replicated?
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is saved!
Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and stood up, full of spirit.
He pointed his finger sharply at the large tree in front of them, which required two people to embrace.
At this moment, he felt like he was Yu Xiaotian from the Sky Screen!
"Three-Eyed Demon! Third Spirit Skill—Devour!"
"Luo Luo!"
Three-Eyed Demon let out a joyful cry, and its third spirit ring lit up.
Its short legs churned rapidly as it charged towards the large tree.
And then...
It opened its mouth.
Everyone stared with wide eyes, waiting for the appearance of that dark, deep spatial vortex that devoured all things.
However...
No vortex.
No spatial fluctuations.
All they saw was Three-Eyed Demon gnawing at the tree trunk with a "crunch, crunch" sound!
Its chewing speed was astonishingly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had gnawed a patch of bark bare.
Then it swallowed, and let out a satisfied burp.
Three-Eyed Demon let out a satisfied burp and sat down at the base of the tree, still wanting more.
Nothing else happened.
The wind blew through the forest, rustling a few fallen leaves.
The entire scene was deathly silent.
Yu Yuanzhen's smile froze on his face.
The elders' expectations turned into blank stares.
And Yu Xiaogang, still holding his spirited gesture, was completely petrified on the spot.
Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"This... this is Devour Heaven Eat Earth?"
An elder asked dryly, "That's it? It just got a better appetite?"
This was hardly Devour Heaven Eat Earth, it was clearly a starving dog pouncing on food!
It didn't even have long-range attack capabilities!
It had only purely strengthened Three-Eyed Demon's desire to eat and its digestive ability!
Yu Xiaogang's face was deathly pale, and he shouted in a panic, "No! That's wrong! Try again!"
"Three-Eyed Demon, spit out an energy vortex for me!"
"Luo Luo..."
Three-Eyed Demon looked at its master with a wronged expression.
It couldn't do it!
"Scoundrel! Something must have gone wrong!"
Yu Xiaogang couldn't accept this reality.
He rushed forward abruptly and kicked Three-Eyed Demon fiercely.
"Luo Luo!"
Three-Eyed Demon cried out in pain and rolled on the ground, wronged.
Its eyes were full of confusion.
It had clearly devoured according to its master's command, so why was it being beaten?
"You stupid pig! I wanted Devour Heaven and Earth! A spatial vortex! Not for you to gnaw on tree bark!"
Yu Xiaogang's face contorted, and he roared hysterically, "Spit it out! Spit out the power of space for me!"
He shook Three-Eyed Demon's body frantically.
In his frenzied state, where was there any trace of the Master's demeanor?
"Enough!"
An old and weary roar echoed.
Yu Yuanzhen seemed to age ten years in an instant.
He looked at the pig that could only gnaw on bark.
Then he looked at his son, who was acting like a madman.
The light in his eyes completely extinguished.
"Father! Give me one more chance! It must be that spirit beast's age is wrong!"
Yu Xiaogang lunged at Yu Yuanzhen, grabbing his father's hem tightly:
"Help me catch another one, catch a two-thousand-year-old one..."
"Slap!"
This time, Yu Yuanzhen was the one who acted.
The slap was extremely heavy.
It sent Yu Xiaogang spinning twice in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Even half of his face instantly swelled up.
"Aren't you embarrassed enough?!"
Yu Yuanzhen's voice trembled, the sound of a heart bleeding:
"You spent a fortune on information, the elders protected you, the family emptied its coffers to buy you Whale Rubber... and the result?"
"You only trained a useless pig?!"
The surrounding elders turned their heads away.
The anticipation in their eyes was gone, replaced by deep contempt and regret.
They regretted believing a good-for-nothing could turn things around.
They also felt pained by the wasted resources.
And this scene, why did it feel so familiar?
Yes, it was the same during the awakening ceremony!
Last time, they had lost face in front of other families and powerhouses.
However, this time it was an embarrassment within the family.
But should they still praise Yu Xiaogang for being slightly less embarrassing?
The elders' faces turned incredibly ugly!
This was rubbing salt in their wounds for the second time!
"Pfft."
In the corner, Yu Tianxin, whose cheeks were still swollen, couldn't help but laugh.
The laughter sounded particularly jarring.
"It seems I really dodged a bullet."
Yu Tianxin looked at Yu Xiaogang mockingly:
"It seems... Grandpa's slap was the right thing to do, it really made me dodge a bullet."
"Uncle, your Devour Heaven Eat Earth has truly opened my eyes, nephew."
"Uncle, admit it."
"The Yu Xiaotian of that world succeeded because he was Yu Xiaotian."
"And you, given the same answer, still couldn't copy it correctly."
"Your Three-Eyed Demon's first two spirit rings are complete garbage, its foundation is already rotten through!"
Everyone understood the reason.
Although no one said it out loud, their hearts were as clear as a mirror:
It was one thing that the thousand-year Devouring Dragon had just evolved into a thousand-year spirit beast.
What was even more fatal was that Yu Xiaogang's Three-Eyed Demon had long been ruined by the incorrect attachment of its first and second spirit rings.
Due to messing around with the first two spirit rings.
Now, its dragon-type talent had actually regressed.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's talent was too poor to bear such powerful spirit rings.
He actually managed to turn a divine skill into less than ten percent of its efficacy!
Trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog!
After returning to the family.
Yu Yuanzhen didn't even glance at Yu Xiaogang.
His voice was hoarse as he said:
"From today onwards, Yu Xiaogang's cultivation resource supply will be reduced, lowered to the treatment of an ordinary direct disciple."
"Since he likes to research theory, let him be an administrator in the Library."
"Without my command, he is not allowed to step half a step outside the sect!"
This was equivalent to house arrest.
Two disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall expressionlessly hauled Yu Xiaogang away.
"No! Father!"
"You can't do this to me! Three-Eyed Demon hasn't finished digesting yet! When it finishes digesting, it will be a divine skill!"
"I'm not wrong! The world is wrong! That Devouring Dragon is wrong!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice faded into the distance, filled with unwillingness.
But this was not the end.
Yu Luomian, who had been enduring, now stepped forward.
With a look of heartbroken grief on his face.
He bowed deeply to Yu Yuanzhen:
"Big Brother, it's fine if Xiaogang is useless."
"But my grandson Tianxin was wronged for this hunt."
"Moreover, for the purchase of the Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and those secret medicines, the family used nearly thirty percent of the public treasury reserves..."
Upon hearing this, the elders.
Couldn't help but frown. If Yu Tianxin had absorbed the Devouring Dragon back then, would things have been different?
Yu Yuanzhen's body trembled. He knew his second brother was asking for an explanation.
"Issue an order..."
Yu Yuanzhen closed his eyes, gritting his teeth:
"Transfer the remaining resources originally allocated to Xiaogang, including the remaining half piece of Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber and three Thunder Spirit Grass, all to Yu Tianxin."
"As compensation for his grievance."
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Yu Tianxin ignored the swelling and pain on his face.
Overjoyed, he knelt and kowtowed.
He looked in the direction Yu Xiaogang was dragged away.
He laughed wildly in his heart:
"Uncle, thank you for fulfilling my wish! I will enjoy your resources properly!"
On this day, everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan knew:
Yu Xiaogang had once again become a laughingstock of the clan.
[Sky Screen image flows]
[White World]
[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan]
[Seven-year-old Yu Xiaotian stood with his hands behind his back]
[His gaze passed over the crowd and landed on his second uncle, Yu Luomian, whose expression was complicated]
[At this moment, Yu Luomian's forehead was covered in cold sweat.]
[Now Yu Xiaotian was level 13. In two years, raising it by another 7 levels didn't seem difficult!]
[It seemed he had lost this bet!]
[He had previously wanted to fight for benefits for his own lineage, and even wanted to suppress Yu Xiaotian]
[The clan's direction had changed]
[Yu Xiaotian suddenly spoke: "Second Uncle!"]
