Soul Power Reaches Level Ten

The strange looks from Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo did not affect Yu Xiaogang.

As he watched the scenes of himself interacting with Little Dragon on the Heavenly Screen, he could not help reminiscing about the past.

Back then, after discovering that Little Dragon could cultivate just like him, the first thing that came to mind was the Shadow Clone Technique from Naruto, which he had watched before transmigrating.

An External Beast Martial Soul born because of him and possessing its own consciousness was remarkably similar to a shadow clone.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang tried using Little Dragon according to the principles of the Shadow Clone Technique, having it learn knowledge.

The result was exactly as shown on the Heavenly Screen: Little Dragon could completely accomplish everything a shadow clone could.

With this discovery, Yu Xiaogang happened to be extremely pressed for time in the early stages.

He needed to study the knowledge of Douluo Continent and meditate to increase his Soul Power.

He also needed to temper his body day and night, laying a solid foundation for obtaining a Martial Soul in the future.

Although he had Whale Rubber, an item capable of increasing a Spirit Ring's age, his own foundation was still extremely important.

Even when increasing the age by two hundred years, raising it from one hundred to three hundred years was vastly different from raising it from three hundred to five hundred years.

Little Dragon's appearance undoubtedly greatly increased his efficiency.

Thus, Yu Xiaogang spent some time specifically helping Little Dragon learn.

Once Little Dragon had learned almost enough, Yu Xiaogang had it read books by itself.

He did not even require Little Dragon to understand them. It only needed to memorize everything and then transmit the contents into his mind.

This process was nothing short of torture for Little Dragon.

It was just like with children. At their age, they were at the stage where they loved to play.

Perhaps some children liked studying, but that was only after they had played enough.

It was not hard to guess how a playful child would react if forced to study.

Little Dragon was the same. Before long, it developed a deep aversion to studying.

Unfortunately, the one Little Dragon had encountered was Yu Xiaogang.

Although it resisted studying, Yu Xiaogang still used persuasion, encouragement, rewards, and various other methods to make Little Dragon continue learning.

This was also the fundamental reason Little Dragon later became sick of studying.

Recalling how Little Dragon had stared at him with its big, aggrieved eyes when he had forced it to study, Yu Xiaogang felt like laughing.

Back then, he had had no choice. Time was too tight, so he had been forced to squeeze every bit of effort out of Little Dragon.

After his strength had improved, Yu Xiaogang never again forced Little Dragon to study anything.

Glancing at the giant dragon sleeping nearby, Yu Xiaogang shook his head.

From the time he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent until now, if one asked who had accompanied him the longest,

the answer was undoubtedly Little Dragon.

He and Little Dragon were one entity, but they were also partners and family.

Little Dragon had contributed no less than anyone else along Yu Xiaogang's path of growth.

Therefore, Yu Xiaogang was now extremely grateful—grateful that the Martial Soul he had awakened back then had been Little Dragon.

[The video continued...]

[Two and a half years passed in the blink of an eye.]

[Inside a cultivation room in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang and Little Dragon sat with their eyes closed, meditating together.]

[A moment later, following a ripple of energy, Yu Xiaogang opened his tightly shut eyes. When he glanced at Little Dragon, who had likewise opened its eyes, delight appeared on his face.]

["Little Dragon, did you feel it?"]

["Roar, roar!"]

[Little Dragon happily circled Yu Xiaogang twice before pouncing into his arms.]

["Hahaha, I've finally reached level ten. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."]

[Yu Xiaogang caught Little Dragon, unable to suppress the delight on his face.]

[Level ten. According to Yu Xiaogang's original estimate, with his talent of level-one Innate Soul Power, it should have taken at least four or five years to reach level ten.]

[Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang had a Title Douluo for a father and a Soul Sage for an uncle.]

[With their help, he had discovered the secret of Whale Rubber.]

[Thanks to this, he could enjoy the treatment of a Soul Douluo within the clan.]

[Afterward, he had even discovered that his Martial Soul, Little Dragon, could cultivate together with him.]

[The various factors had combined to allow him to successfully reach level ten two and a half years after his Martial Soul Awakening, despite having the talent of level-one Innate Soul Power.]

["With level-ten Soul Power, I can obtain my first Spirit Ring. But before that, I need to consume Whale Rubber!"]

[A gleam flashed through Yu Xiaogang's eyes.]

[Over the past two years, the family had also conducted detailed research into the effects of Whale Rubber.]

[Before being activated by flames, Whale Rubber was a medicinal material with abundant yang energy.]

[After being roasted by high-intensity flames, it was like quicklime meeting water. When two utterly unrelated substances collided, they instantly erupted with unimaginable energy.]

[The Whale Rubber, originally rich in yang energy, experienced a sudden surge after being roasted by high-intensity flames, becoming an extremely yang-rich tonic.]

[When these extremely yang-rich tonics entered a soul master's body, they strengthened the soul master physically from the inside out.]

[Muscles, bones, Meridians—everything was strengthened.]

[It was precisely because of this that soul masters could withstand Spirit Rings with higher age limits.]

[Over the past two years, thanks to Whale Rubber, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already produced several soul masters whose first Spirit Rings were over five hundred years old.]

[One had to understand that this was different from Wang Dachui's situation.]

[Wang Dachui was already seventeen years old. As he had aged, his body had grown far, far stronger.]

[But in the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everyone who could enjoy Whale Rubber obtained their first Spirit Ring at only seven or eight years old.]

[A seventeen-year-old and a seven- or eight-year-old naturally had a huge difference in physical strength.]

[If the children of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who obtained their first Spirit Rings at seven or eight were allowed to grow until they were seventeen, the clan would dare let them obtain first Spirit Rings of around nine hundred years.]

[The clan's future was visibly bright and promising, so Yu Yuanzhen, the clan leader, and the elders naturally wore smiles every day.]

[Especially whenever they saw Yu Xiaogang, the person who had brought change to the clan.]

[Their amiable attitude left countless clan members baffled.]

[They did not understand why the elders treated Yu Xiaogang, this good-for-nothing, so well.]

[As he left the cultivation room and headed home, ordinary members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan kept sizing Yu Xiaogang up.]

["Speaking of which, his Soul Power has increased so quickly over the past two years. It's completely unlike the speed someone with level-one Innate Soul Power should have."]

["What else could it be? He's benefiting from the clan leader's position."]

["Exactly. He has a Title Douluo for a father. That's something we can only envy."]

["Hmph, even with a father like the clan leader, his talent isn't anything special. He's truly bringing shame to our clan!"]

["Keep your voice down. Didn't you see that even the elders are treating him amiably?"]

["Sigh, that's fate for you. By the way, what do you think the age of his first Spirit Ring will be, given his talent?"]

["Hard to say. With level-one Innate Soul Power, a little over one hundred years?"]

["What if he ends up with a white Spirit Ring? That would really be humiliating!"]
