Yu Yuanzhen: I'll Be the Target for Xiao Gang's Spirit Skill!

[The film continued...]

[Under the escort of the Soul Hunting Squad, the group soon successfully left Thunderclap Forest.]

[After arriving outside the forest, Yu Xiaogang immediately became even more arrogant. The captain of the Soul Hunting Squad tried to approach him and exchange a few pleasantries so he could earn more Gold Soul Coins from him in the future, but Yu Xiaogang ignored him outright.]

[Seeing Yu Xiaogang's attitude, the members of the Soul Hunting Squad were furious. Some even declared that a person like Yu Xiaogang was destined never to achieve anything significant.]

[Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang, who could not wait to prove himself, ignored their words.]

[After renting a carriage, Yu Xiaogang returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Only then did he learn that, because of his disappearance, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen had flown into a rage and sent people everywhere to search for him.]

["Hmph, this is what you get for refusing to acknowledge my theories."]

[Hearing that his father had been looking for him, Yu Xiaogang gave a smug snort.]

[He knew that his father cared about him as a son. The fact that Yu Yuanzhen was willing to give him his own resources was proof enough.]

[But Yu Xiaogang did not need Yu Yuanzhen's concern. What he wanted more was to prove himself to Yu Yuanzhen, to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and even to the entire Douluo Continent.]

[To prove his scholarship, his abilities, and his extraordinary nature.]

[And demonstrating his Spirit Skill was the first step.]

[Thus, Yu Xiaogang held his head high and strode home with a swagger that showed no regard for anyone.]

["Xiao Gang, are you all right? Where have you been these past few days?"]

[The moment he entered the house, Yu Yuanzhen's concerned voice reached his ears.]

[Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang did not feel any of that concern.]

["Father, I've successfully obtained my first Spirit Ring!"]

[Yu Xiaogang smugly gave a brief account of how he had gone to Thunderclap Forest, hired the Soul Hunting Squad, and finally obtained his Spirit Ring.]

["In other words, you really used the Thunder Fang Pig's Spirit Ring as your first Spirit Ring?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen asked after hearing Yu Xiaogang's account.]

["That's right. It's the Spirit Ring most suited to me."]

[Yu Xiaogang remained convinced that his theory could not be wrong.]

["...Forget it, forget it. You've already obtained the Spirit Ring. There's no point discussing it now."]

["Then, what is your First Spirit Skill?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen sighed. Then he adjusted his emotions and asked with a hint of anticipation in his heart.]

[Perhaps... perhaps his son really was right.]

[His Martial Soul was a Pig-type Martial Soul. The Thunder Fang Pig really was the Soul Beast most suited to him.]

[Perhaps he truly did possess extraordinary talent in theoretical research.]

["Heh heh, my Spirit Skill is truly extraordinary. Since you're my father, I'll show it to you. I wouldn't casually demonstrate it for just anyone."]

[Yu Xiaogang spoke with a smug chuckle.]

[Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up at Yu Xiaogang's words. Judging from his son's manner, his Spirit Skill was extraordinary.]

[Could it be that he really was right?]

["Quick, quick, quick! To the Cultivation Ground. Show me your Spirit Skill!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen excitedly pulled Yu Xiaogang toward the Cultivation Ground at his residence, eager to see with his own eyes what Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Skill was like.]

[At that moment, a voice came from outside the door.]

["Sect Master, we have something to discuss with you."]

[As the voice sounded, several figures entered the room one after another.]

[They were the three elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]

["Oh, it's the three elders. What brings you here?"]

["We do have something to discuss, but judging from your appearance, Sect Master, what are you preparing to do?"]

[The First Elder glanced at Yu Xiaogang before asking.]

["Didn't Xiao Gang go missing earlier? I only just learned that the child went to obtain his first Spirit Ring. He's just returned."]

[Yu Yuanzhen explained.]

["He's already obtained his first Spirit Ring? What is his Spirit Skill?"]

[The Second Elder stepped forward and asked. He had always been deeply impressed by Yu Xiaogang's External Beast Martial Soul.]

["We were just about to go to the Cultivation Ground and demonstrate it."]

["Then let's go together. It will be a good opportunity for me to reevaluate whether his Martial Soul has any potential."]

[The Second Elder was about to go with Yu Yuanzhen.]

[Yu Xiaogang had been using Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation resources all this time, but that could not continue forever. Today was the perfect opportunity to reevaluate Yu Xiaogang's potential.]

[The Second Elder had already made up his mind. As long as Yu Xiaogang displayed even a little potential, he could turn a blind eye and approve resources for him.]

["Xiao Gang, what do you think?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaogang, wanting to confirm whether he was confident about passing the clan elders' test.]

["Then let's go together. It's the perfect chance to prove myself to everyone!"]

[Yu Xiaogang showed no fear whatsoever. In his view, his First Spirit Skill was bound to be incomparably powerful, and there was no possibility of failure.]

["Good!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen cheered, then headed to the Cultivation Ground with the elders.]

[When they arrived at the Cultivation Ground, Yu Yuanzhen volunteered to be the opponent, providing Yu Xiaogang with a target for his skill.]

[Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, Yu Xiaogang summoned his Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao.]

[The next second, a yellow Spirit Ring began to shine.]

["Come on, witness my First Spirit Skill!"]

[Yu Xiaogang circulated his Soul Power and activated his first Spirit Ring.]

[The Spirit Ring's radiance grew even brighter. At the same time, Luo Sanpao's eyes glowed. After taking a deep breath, its body rapidly expanded and floated into the air.]

[Just as Yu Yuanzhen waited expectantly to see what kind of Spirit Skill Luo Sanpao would release, Luo Sanpao suddenly turned around and aimed its rear at him.]

[Poof!!!]

[With a muffled boom, a stream of yellow air sprayed from behind Luo Sanpao, completely engulfing the expectant Yu Yuanzhen.]

[Before long, Luo Sanpao finished releasing its Spirit Skill, but the Cultivation Ground fell into deathly silence.]
