Martial Soul Awakening, Changes in Innate Soul Power

Yu Yuanzhen's jealousy was unknown to outsiders.

However, at this moment, most fathers with sons would have felt the same jealousy as Yu Yuanzhen, envying the other person for having such a sensible son.

Thinking back to what his own son had been doing at the age of five, all he could say was: comparing people made one despair, and comparing goods made one throw them away!

[The video continued...]

[After completing the first day's running task, Yu Xiaogang collapsed onto the ground, too exhausted to move.]

[Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen walked over, picked Yu Xiaogang up in his arms, and then headed toward a room constantly billowing with steam.]

[As members of a great clan, after completing basic physical training, medicinal bathing was indispensable.]

[Through a medicinal bath, one could not only quickly restore one's energy and prevent injuries.]

[It could also further strengthen the body after training.]

[And as the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the resources Yu Yuanzhen could mobilize were all top-tier.]

[Although when mobilizing these resources, Yu Yuanzhen inevitably had to endure the elders' endless complaints.]

[But he was willing!]

[His son was so sensible, worried that his lack of talent would cause his father to lose face, that he had begun training before even awakening his Martial Soul.]

[Under such circumstances, if he, as the boy's father, did not fully support his son, would he not be letting down his son's feelings?]

[When they arrived at the medicinal bath room, Yu Yuanzhen tested the water temperature. Feeling that it was just right, he nodded and placed Yu Xiaogang into the water.]

["Hiss! It's so hot!"]

[The moment he entered the water, the scalding medicinal liquid stimulated Yu Xiaogang so badly that he could not help sitting up. Seeing his grimacing expression, Yu Yuanzhen burst into laughter.]

["Hahaha, bear with it. Only this way can you absorb the medicinal effects better!"]

[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang forcibly suppressed his urge to get up, endured the pain, and sat in the medicinal water.]

[Before long, as the medicinal bath continued, Yu Xiaogang adapted to the water temperature and once again felt the medicinal liquid stimulating his body.]

[Especially his legs, which had been sore and swollen from running earlier. Under the stimulation of the medicinal liquid, they alternated between aching and cramping, making Yu Xiaogang change expressions constantly as if he were performing a face-changing act.]

[Time passed second by second. Just as Yu Xiaogang thought he would have to remain in the water forever, Yu Yuanzhen spoke:]

["All right, you can come out!"]

[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had been pardoned. He scrambled out of the water as quickly as possible, then looked at the medicinal liquid with lingering fear.]

[It was the first time in his life that he had felt bathing could be such a painful ordeal.]

["How is it? If you still insist on cultivating, everything you experienced today will become part of your daily life in the future."]

[There was a hint of pressure in Yu Yuanzhen's voice.]

["I can endure it!"]

[Without even a second of hesitation, Yu Xiaogang replied firmly.]

["Very good. You truly are my son, Yu Yuanzhen's son!"]

[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen nodded in satisfaction, then once again placed his hand on Yu Xiaogang's head.]

[With a son like this, how could he not feel gratified?]

[In the morning, Yu Xiaogang completed his physical training and medicinal bath. In the afternoon, he practiced meditation under Yu Yuanzhen's guidance.]

[As one of the top clans on Douluo Continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan naturally had its own specialized meditation method.]

[Unfortunately, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's meditation method was better suited to those who had awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.]

[At the very least, one needed to possess a lightning-type Martial Soul.]

[Therefore, Yu Xiaogang could only use a basic meditation method for now.]

[Even so, the basic meditation method he used was far superior to the common methods circulating throughout Douluo Continent.]

[Under Yu Yuanzhen's guidance, Yu Xiaogang began meditating, absorbing Soul Power from heaven and earth into his body and transforming it into his own Soul Power.]

[Unfortunately, because he had not awakened his Martial Soul, Yu Xiaogang felt no change at all after meditating. He was exactly the same as before.]

[However, Yu Xiaogang was not discouraged. If one could immediately sense a change after meditating a few times, then cultivation would not have begun only after Martial Soul Awakening on Douluo Continent.]

[After completing his daytime cultivation, Yu Xiaogang spent the evening studying the knowledge of Douluo Continent.]

[Although over the past five years Yu Yuanzhen had taught Yu Xiaogang a great deal about Douluo Continent, those lessons had only been superficial.]

[To truly understand it in depth, he still had to study the books himself.]

[During this learning process, Yu Xiaogang did not blindly study on his own.]

[Whenever he encountered something he did not understand, he would immediately ask Yu Yuanzhen, then think it over by himself.]

[For example.]

["Father, according to the clan's records, the maximum age for obtaining a first Spirit Ring is around four hundred years, but some people failed while absorbing three-hundred-year Spirit Rings."]

["What do you think affects this?"]

[Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen beside him and asked.]

["That? It's very simple. The record for the highest age belongs to a genius from our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He had a Beast Martial Soul."]

["Most Beast Martial Souls naturally come with powerful physiques, so they can obtain Spirit Rings with higher age limits."]

["Tool Martial Souls lack our Beast Martial Souls' advantage in this regard. Even the Clear Sky Hammer, the greatest Tool Martial Soul in the world, is no exception."]

[Yu Yuanzhen spoke with a proud expression.]

["In other words, a powerful physique is a necessary condition for obtaining a high-age Spirit Ring..."]

[Yu Xiaogang silently noted down this information, then continued flipping through the clan's records.]

[Over the next six months or so, Yu Xiaogang began his fulfilling daily routine.]

[His actions made the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan shake their heads repeatedly.]

[His Martial Soul had not even awakened yet, and he was already rushing to cultivate. It seemed his mind still had not fully cleared.]

[And so, the time for Martial Soul Awakening arrived.]

[Because there were no particularly outstanding figures among this year's candidates, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan did not hold a grand awakening ceremony.]

[Perhaps Yu Xiaogang's identity as the son of a Titled Douluo made him dazzling enough, but because he had spent the past few years in a daze, no one believed that Yu Xiaogang could awaken any powerful Martial Soul.]

[And the truth was exactly as everyone had expected.]

[When Yu Xiaogang stood at the center of the Awakening Array, golden light enveloped him and a dragon's roar echoed out, after which the light shattered with a thunderous crash.]

[A small beast resembling a piglet appeared at Yu Xiaogang's feet.]

[Since the crowd had never held any expectations for this result, they naturally were not disappointed. Only Yu Yuanzhen, watching his son inside the awakening array, had a deep look of concern constantly flashing in his eyes.]

[Then came the Innate Soul Power test. The final result was level one.]

[Yu Xiaogang's awakening ceremony ended.]

At the same time, beneath the Heavenly Screen, every faction was thrown into an uproar!
