Yu Yuanzhen's Thoughts

Southeast of the Heaven Dou Empire, about a hundred miles west of the Sunset Forest, lies a small mountain range called the Thunder Mountain Range.

This mountain range is composed of nine peaks, five in the front and four in the back, with a deep gorge named Thunder Gorge in between.

The foremost of these nine peaks is called "Dragon Head Mountain," the core of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory. It houses the clan's mountain gate, the sect's assembly hall, the contribution courtyard, and the residence of the current Clan Leader of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen.

On Dragon Head Mountain, in the Clan Leader's study.

Yu Xiaolin and Yu Xiaofeng sat on sofas on either side of the study, recounting their experience hunting the Thunder Abyss Python in the Sunset Forest.

Yu Yuanzhen, seated behind his desk, listened intently. When he heard that the two had been attacked first by the Thunder Abyss Python, his hands clenched slightly. He only relaxed when he heard about the appearance of the Golden Iron Triangle, a look of excitement flashing in his eyes.

However, when he finally heard about Yu Xiaogang's current situation from his sons, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened. He slammed the desk and rushed in front of them.

"What, Xiaogang awakened his second Martial Soul, and it's the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon!"

Yu Yuanzhen roared, his voice like a dragon's roar, causing the teacups on the desk to tremble.

"Ouch, Father, keep your voice down."

Yu Xiaolin quickly stood up to persuade him, "Second Brother said not to make a fuss, to avoid any further complications."

Yu Yuanzhen immediately fell silent, realizing he had indeed shouted too loudly. He glanced outside guiltily, then waved his hand dismissively and said, "My courtyard is far away, no one can hear. Are you telling the truth, did Xiaogang really awaken his second Martial Soul?"

"It's true, Father. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaofeng." Yu Xiaolin gestured to the side.

Yu Yuanzhen immediately glared at Yu Xiaofeng, who responded, "Absolutely genuine. Second Brother summons the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon with his left hand and Luo Sanpao with his right. There's no mistake."

"Twin Martial Souls. I never expected our Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan to produce a genius with Twin Martial Souls."

A smile spread across Yu Yuanzhen's face, but it slowly subsided, replaced by a look of regret.

"It's a pity it's too late. Why couldn't it have been twenty years earlier? Sigh..."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed and walked back to his desk, sitting down again.

A brief silence fell upon the study. Yu Xiaolin then cleared his throat and said, "Although Second Brother awakened it late, it's ultimately a good thing. With the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, he can return to the family."

Yu Xiaofeng chimed in, "Yes, Father. As long as Second Brother can come back, don't worry about anything else."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at his two sons and couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, it's me, the father, who was too calculating. I've been lectured by you two youngsters."

"It's good that Xiaogang can come back. It's good that he can come back."

Yu Yuanzhen's brows relaxed, and he asked, "What else did Xiaogang say?"

"Second Brother warned us to be careful of the Martial Soul Hall. The Martial Soul Hall's target is not just our Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan, but also the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. "Sword Old Man and Bone Old Monster, plus Ning Fengzhi's support. Martial Soul Hall has quite some nerve. It seems their strength is far greater than I imagined."

Yu Xiaolin continued, "Martial Soul Hall's goal is to unify the continent. For now, we can only seek the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Sect. Once the Upper Three Sects unite, Martial Soul Hall will not dare to act rashly."

"Among Second Brother's students are the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sect Master and the direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect. After the Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition in half a year, he will voluntarily return to the clan to discuss the alliance of the Upper Three Sects."

"Good, then we'll wait another half year."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, then said, "You two have expended a lot of energy on this trip. Go down and rest first."

Yu Xiaolin and Yu Xiaofeng immediately got up, bowed to each other, and then turned to leave the study.

Yu Yuanzhen then took out a booklet from under his desk. It was the cultivation method that Yu Xiaogang had given to Yu Tianheng outside the Suotuo Great Soul Arena that day.

The booklet was now dog-eared, appearing to have been read many times. A thin piece of paper was also tucked inside the book.

Yu Yuanzhen pulled out the thin paper. Several names were written on it, all influential figures within the clan, including the names of elders.

As Yu Yuanzhen looked at the names on the paper, a coldness involuntarily spread across his face.

"If it weren't for Xiao Gang's reminder, I wouldn't have known that the clan had already been infiltrated like a sieve. Martial Soul Hall..."

A strong killing intent flashed in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, and a faint dragon's roar could be heard from within him.

But after glancing at the names on the paper again, he let out a long sigh and calmed himself down.

"They are all blood relatives of the same clan. I hope it doesn't come to that."

The Shrek Group returned to the academy the same day they left the Soul Hunting Forest. Upon arrival, they noticed that the academy's atmosphere was clearly a bit off. Both students and teachers were talking amongst themselves about something.

Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and Liu Erlong immediately returned to the office and found Zhao Wuji, who had been the acting dean during this period.

In the office, Zhao Wuji began to pour out his grievances when faced with their questions.

"You have no idea how many major events have happened these past few days, making my heart pound like a drum."

"It started with a minor conflict between students. That kid Tailong insisted on pestering Xiao Wu, so Xiao San stepped in to teach him a lesson."

"As a result, Tailong's father, Taino, came knocking on our door. A Soul King at level fifty-eight actually challenged Xiao San back then. But Xiao San is truly a monster. By the time our academy teachers arrived, Taino had already been defeated by Xiao San."

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh at this point.

"A Soul Elder at level thirty-something defeating a Soul King single-handedly. I would never have believed it before, but now I do."

He then continued, "If you ask me, the Strength Clan is too shameless. They attacked the child, and then the parent came. They attacked the parent, and then an even older one showed up."

"That eighty-six-level old baboon, Titan, actually came to trick Xiao San into a bet with him. Truly shameless."

"Fortunately, Sect Master Ning stepped in later to resolve this crisis, but Xiao San's Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul was also exposed because of it."

After hearing Zhao Wuji's account, Yu Xiaogang understood it was time for him to appear. He said a word to the three of them and then went to the Advanced Class in the teaching building to find Tang San.

The two walked along the forest behind the academy all the way to the lakeside.

Yu Xiaogang told Tang San about Tang Hao's past deeds, then explained the cultivation principles of Twin Martial Souls, and also pointed out the pros and cons for clan disciples.

Towards the end, Yu Xiaogang added one more thing.

"Xiao San, when the time comes for you to return to the sect, Teacher has one more thing to entrust you with. But it's not urgent now; you just need to focus your heart on cultivation."

"I understand, Teacher."
