"Xiao Gang, are you certain that everything in this report is true and not something you made up?"
The Second Elder pointed at the report and looked at Yu Xiaogang expectantly.
Although, judging from the level of detail in the report, all the elders felt that it probably was not fabricated.
But they simply could not believe it. They could not believe that such a major discovery had actually been made by a six-year-old child like Yu Xiaogang.
"Could it be that Ye Hengchuan discovered it, but put the credit on you to make things easier for you?"
The Third Elder suddenly spoke from the side.
"All of you, shut up! Is my son the kind of person who would spout nonsense?"
"You couldn't discover the secret of Whale Rubber yourselves, so you think my son Xiao Gang couldn't discover it either?"
"What's that saying again? The strength of one's abilities has nothing to do with one's age."
"I think you're all just jealous because you're not as capable as my son!"
The moment the Third Elder finished speaking, Yu Yuanzhen immediately widened his eyes and said this.
At that moment, in Yu Yuanzhen's heart, Yu Xiaogang was the very image of a model son. No one was allowed to speak ill of his son!
"Uncle Ye helped with the experiments, and he also helped me mobilize some manpower and supplies."
"But I was the one who directed the experiments!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke without the slightest trace of nervousness.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Xiaogang would certainly have given Ye Hengchuan a greater share of the credit, but he could not do that now.
He had to prove his abilities to everyone.
After all, this concerned both his own and his father Yu Yuanzhen's dignity, as well as future applications for resources.
"Good, good, good. As long as it was you."
"I truly never expected that although Heaven did not give you enough talent, it gave you sufficient wisdom, Xiao Gang."
"Hahaha, Whale Rubber! With this discovery, the members of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will grow stronger and stronger in the future."
"Sooner or later, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will become the foremost of the Upper Three Sects!"
The First Elder imagined the future with an expression of great satisfaction.
At that moment, it was as if he had already seen the future in which the clan had become the foremost of the Upper Three Sects.
"Elder, since Xiao Gang has made this discovery, shouldn't the corresponding treatment follow as well?"
Yu Yuanzhen spoke up to remind them.
"Right, right, right. Naturally."
This time, it was the Second Elder who spoke.
After spending this much time together, Yu Xiaogang had gained some understanding of the clan's several elders.
The First Elder assisted his father in managing the clan, and what he cared about most was the sect.
As long as something could benefit the sect, he would give it the green light.
The Second Elder was rather rigid. Most of the time, he handled matters with an official, businesslike attitude.
That was why he had been the one to step forward and explain everything to Yu Xiaogang earlier.
As for the Third Elder, although he was likewise devoted to the clan, he had rather strong personal interests.
At present, the First Elder's eyes were practically about to grow onto those reports.
There was hardly any need to think about how he would choose.
The Second Elder had always handled matters in a thoroughly official manner, but precisely this attitude made Yu Xiaogang feel the most reassured.
As for the Third Elder...
Yu Xiaogang glanced at the Third Elder, who was staring at the report with an expression of unwillingness.
Although he did not know where that unwillingness came from, it did not matter. The First Elder and Second Elder were both on his side. No matter how much the Third Elder opposed him alone, it would be useless.
Sure enough.
"Xiao Gang, some of the things I said earlier may have been rather harsh. Don't take them to heart."
The Second Elder spoke with an earnest expression.
"At that time, we didn't know that you could make a contribution to the sect, so we disagreed with the treatment your father requested for you."
"But things are different now."
"You have proven your abilities to the clan, so the clan will naturally grant you treatment corresponding to your contribution."
"Based on the information about Whale Rubber that you have contributed, the clan's future is limitless."
"This can bring more to the clan than your awakening with Innate Full Soul Power."
"According to my opinion, you should be directly granted treatment equivalent to that of a Spirit Douluo in the clan!"
The Second Elder directly stated his opinion.
From the clan's perspective, he felt that this reward was even somewhat too low.
"Treatment equivalent to that of a Spirit Douluo? For a child with only Innate Soul Power of Rank One? Have you gone mad?"
The Third Elder looked at the Second Elder in disbelief, unable to believe that such words had come from his mouth.
Treatment equivalent to that of a Spirit Douluo!
How many Spirit Douluo were there across the entire Douluo Continent? In their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, only these few elders were Spirit Douluo.
Granting Yu Xiaogang treatment equivalent to that of a Spirit Douluo would not mean directly giving him a status equal to theirs?
"What do you mean, I've gone mad? I've already reduced the reward somewhat. By rights, I should have granted Xiao Gang treatment equivalent to that of a Titled Douluo."
"It's just a pity that his talent is still too poor, so I lowered it by one rank."
The Second Elder furrowed his brows and looked at the Third Elder with displeasure.
As the clan's most impartial elder in handling affairs, he did not appreciate having his words questioned.
"I also approve of this proposal. Xiao Gang should indeed receive treatment equivalent to that of a Spirit Douluo."
The First Elder finally raised his head after keeping his gaze glued to the report. He glanced at the Third Elder, then walked over to Yu Xiaogang with a hearty laugh.
A large hand covered Yu Xiaogang's head. Yu Xiaogang shook his head, but could not shake it off, so he could only look helplessly at the First Elder.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's reaction, the First Elder chuckled, then continued:
"The appearance of Whale Rubber will directly overturn the existing rules regarding the age limits for obtaining Spirit Rings."
"A five-hundred-year first Spirit Ring, a nine-hundred-year second Spirit Ring, or even a seven-hundred-year first Spirit Ring and a thousand-year second Spirit Ring."
"A thousand-year second Spirit Ring. I believe that at least those of you who are Spirit Douluo should all understand what that means."
The Third Elder fell silent.
"If the second Spirit Ring can attempt a thousand years, then the third Spirit Ring can attempt five thousand years, and the fourth Spirit Ring can attempt ten thousand years!"
"A thousand-year second Spirit Ring and a ten-thousand-year fourth Spirit Ring."
"I won't spout any grandiose nonsense. I'll simply have you put yourselves in another's shoes. If the few of us changed our configurations to this..."
"What rank would we be now?"
No one spoke, but the Second Elder and Third Elder simultaneously imagined a rank in their minds.
It was the highest rank that Spirit Masters pursued throughout their entire lives—Titled Douluo!
"If we had had Whale Rubber when we were cultivating back then, every one of us would be a Titled Douluo now!"
"At least four Douluo in one sect!"
At this point, the First Elder's eyes held regret, but they also held anticipation.
"Although our generation can no longer realize this vision, our sect can accomplish all of this in the future."
"Now, do you still think that giving Xiao Gang treatment equivalent to that of a Spirit Douluo is excessive?"
