Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang: Reveal Yourself, My Martial Soul!

[The time had come for six-year-old Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Awakening.]

[On this day, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had invited numerous guests to witness the ceremony, including its affiliated sects, members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Clear Sky Sect—fellow members of the Upper Three Sects—and guests from the Lower Four Sects.]

[Spirit Hall had even sent a Titled Douluo to attend, showing just how much importance everyone placed on this awakening.]

[The main reason for such attention was that Yu Xiaogang, son of Yu Yuanzhen—the Thunder Douluo and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's only Titled Douluo—was also among those undergoing Martial Soul Awakening.]

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Hmph. Even now, I still feel ashamed whenever I recall what happened back then."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's First Elder snorted coldly.

"Indeed. It was supposed to be the debut of the next sect leader, yet it turned out like that."

Second Elder shook his head.

"It seemed that after that, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan never held another grand awakening ceremony."

"How could we hold one? We'd already lost all face. Not only did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Clear Sky Sect see us make fools of ourselves, but Spirit Hall and the Lower Four Sects did too. I dare say people are still laughing about what happened back then!"

"Sigh, now that the Heavenly Screen is replaying that scene, we're about to be ridiculed all over again."

"..."

The elders' angry shouts and sighs rang around him. As sect leader, Yu Yuanzhen sat in the center, his face livid, yet he had no way to argue.

What had happened back then had indeed dealt a crushing blow to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation. More importantly, they had never been able to recover the face they had lost.

Forcibly suppressing the fury in his heart, Yu Yuanzhen looked toward the Heavenly Screen.

"How exactly did the Dragon God Douluo achieve his status...?"

[All the guests had gathered. Under everyone's gaze, Yu Xiaogang held his head high, his face brimming with a smug smile. He disdainfully glanced at the children behind him who were about to awaken their Martial Souls alongside him, then strode alone to the front.]

[Seeing his high-spirited son, Yu Yuanzhen was equally radiant with pride.]

["Brother Yu, I heard that your son Yu Xiaogang began studying Martial Souls at a young age and has already developed his own insights into them. Is that true?"]

[The previous sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect looked at Yu Yuanzhen, his words clearly meant to flatter him.]

["Hahaha, they're merely some shallow insights, nothing worth mentioning. For us Soul Masters, what truly matters is our own strength."]

[Yu Yuanzhen replied with a smile.]

["There is certainly no need to worry about his talent. How poor could the son of a Titled Douluo possibly be?"]

["Take the two geniuses of the Clear Sky Sect, for instance. They are also sons of a Titled Douluo, and their talent is enough to set their sights on surpassing their fathers in the future."]

["In my view, the task of giving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan a second Titled Douluo may well fall upon Sect Leader Yu's son."]

[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect leader spoke as though it were only natural, while casually praising the Clear Sky Sect as well.]

[Yu Yuanzhen and the members of the Clear Sky Sect, both the subjects of that praise, looked thoroughly pleased. Only the Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall at the side wore an unpleasant expression.]

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Father's praise back then was not excessive. The brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao both became Titled Douluo, and Tang Hao even inherited the title of Clear Sky Douluo."

"Unfortunately, even Father never expected that the son of a dignified Titled Douluo would awaken something like that."

Ning Fengzhi looked at his father's face on the Heavenly Screen. Though nostalgic, he shook his head.

"It could only be said that heaven itself did not wish for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to rise."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong sneered.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, beside him, said nothing. A mere Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was not enough to pique his interest in the slightest.

What truly intrigued him was the Yu Xiaogang from the Parallel World who had received the title Dragon God.

Dragon God—bearing the name of a god. Without sufficient strength, it would have been impossible to hold such a title securely.

Since the Heavenly Screen acknowledged that title and was broadcasting it, that meant Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang was undoubtedly a supreme powerhouse.

"Don't disappoint me."

Chen Xin murmured.

[As all those set to awaken their Martial Souls arrived, the awakening ceremony officially began.]

[As the sect leader's son, Yu Xiaogang would naturally be the last to take the stage.]

[What followed was the awakening process of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's younger generation.]

["Yu Xiaochuan, Martial Soul: Thunder Lizard. Innate Soul Power: level three."]

["Yu Xiaofeng, Martial Soul: Lightning Python. Innate Soul Power: level two."]

["Yu Xiaoyan, Martial Soul: Thunder Fire Ape. Innate Soul Power: level four."]

["Good. Yu Xiaoxue, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Innate Soul Power: level seven."]

[One young person after another completed their Martial Soul Awakening. Some rejoiced, some were crushed with sorrow, and some even burst into tears. Yet not a single observer spared those grieving children so much as a glance.]

[This world was just that cruel. Martial Soul Awakening was a dividing line, separating friends who had once played together into two different worlds.]

[As the number of youths yet to awaken steadily dwindled, those still waiting began to show nervous expressions.]

[At that moment, Yu Xiaogang stood out naturally among the crowd, his chin raised and his demeanor overflowing with confidence.]

["A true hero emerges in youth. What splendid bearing!"]

[The sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect offered another compliment.]

["Hahaha, he's still too flamboyant. That won't do."]

[Yu Yuanzhen laughed heartily. Though his words said otherwise, he did not mind in the least. A genius who was not a little flamboyant would only be looked down upon, would he not?]

[Soon, everyone except Yu Xiaogang had completed their awakening. For a moment, every gaze at the ceremony site focused on him.]

[Under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Xiaogang smugly swept a glance over the children who had already awakened, then strode proudly to the center of the awakening array and came to a stop.]

[As the ceremony began, intense golden light enveloped Yu Xiaogang in an instant. With only one glance at that golden light, everyone understood that Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul was bound to be immensely powerful.]

["Good!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen, who had always held great expectations for his son, shouted loudly and rose straight from his seat. Had the result not yet been unknown, he likely would have begun applauding already.]

[Even so, Yu Yuanzhen was already imagining the future scene of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possessing two Douluo.]

[Roar!]

[The roar of a giant dragon rang in everyone's ears as they all awaited the moment the Martial Soul manifested.]

[Yu Xiaogang, wrapped in light, seemed to sense the power of his own Martial Soul as well. He raised both hands, brimming with confidence.]

["Reveal yourself, my Martial Soul!"]

[Suddenly, to everyone's astonishment, the light surrounding Yu Xiaogang shattered with a bang as his words fell.]

[A small figure appeared before Yu Xiaogang.]

[Dead silence.]

[Everyone's eyes widened as they stared in disbelief at the figure resembling a Piglet.]

["Oink, oink."]

[The little beast at Yu Xiaogang's feet seemed frightened by everyone's stares, so it instinctively hid behind the equally stunned Yu Xiaogang.]
