The video continued...

Although the woman had not finished speaking, how could Yu Yuanzhen fail to understand what she meant? He looked at Yu Xiaogang with heartache and reached out, wanting to touch his unfortunate child.

His palm touched Yu Xiaogang's soft little hand inside the swaddling clothes. After pondering for a moment, Yu Yuanzhen finally instructed the woman to take good care of his son.

Afterward, Yu Yuanzhen arranged the clan's affairs at the fastest possible speed, distributing his duties as clan master among several elders.

Once he had finished all that, Yu Yuanzhen personally took Yu Xiaogang away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and traveled throughout the Douluo Continent seeking medical help, hoping to treat his son's condition.

After consulting countless people, Yu Yuanzhen finally obtained an answer from the Ye Clan, which inherited the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

"This child possesses astonishing mental strength, but unfortunately, his brain is not mature enough to bear that power. That is why he has ended up like this."

"Take good care of him after you return. If he can recover his mind, and the Martial Soul he awakens is still one related to mental strength, he will likely achieve extraordinary accomplishments in the future."

"However, Clan Master Yu, you had best not hold out too much hope. After all, recovering one's mind in this condition is far too difficult..."

The Ye Clan head's words left Yu Yuanzhen's expression grim.

He thanked the Ye Clan head, then led everyone back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After informing the elders of the Ye Clan head's diagnosis, the elders immediately began considering abandoning Yu Xiaogang.

Some even urged Yu Yuanzhen to send Yu Xiaogang away while their bond was still shallow. If he were sent somewhere far away and they never saw him again, they naturally would not have to feel troubled.

Dark World, Spirit Hall.

"Hmph, they're truly so mercenary. In our world, the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were warm and amiable at first because Xiao Gang was the son of a Titled Douluo. But the moment they learned during his Martial Soul Awakening that Xiao Gang's talent was poor, they immediately changed their attitude."

"In the Parallel World, they're even more direct. They wanted to send Xiao Gang's counterpart away from the very beginning."

"With a bunch of insects like you, it's no wonder Xiao Gang's life was so miserable!"

Bibi Dong looked at the faces of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's elders with disgust. If she had the chance, she would not let a single one of those old fellows off.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"That sort of behavior is indeed in keeping with the practices of a great clan."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was unreadable.

As the clan master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he had seen plenty of things like this. As for whether such behavior was right or wrong, he offered no comment.

But when combined with Yu Xiaogang's future...

"Perhaps we'll get to see that Old Dragon regret it so deeply that he cries his eyes out?"

Bone Douluo Gu Rong laughed heartily, speaking with eager anticipation.

The video continued...

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Yu Yuanzhen rejected the elders' proposal.

"Xiao Gang is my son. That will remain true regardless of his condition. Having him live here and assigning people to take care of him won't be any trouble."

"So there's no need to bring up sending him away again."

With a wave of his hand, Yu Yuanzhen decided Yu Xiaogang's fate.

During this process, no one knew that a spark of light flashed through Yu Xiaogang's dull eyes.

Afterward, time passed day by day, and Yu Xiaogang slowly grew up.

He still failed to recover his mind, always looking dull and foolish. He often sat alone beside the flower bed outside his home, staring blankly at the scenery in the distance.

Whenever that happened, a warm, large hand would rest on Yu Xiaogang's head. The solid palm made Yu Xiaogang feel incomparably secure.

The owner of that hand was naturally Yu Xiaogang's father, Yu Yuanzhen. Although something was wrong with his son, he had never disliked Yu Xiaogang.

After finishing his daily cultivation and handling the clan's affairs, he often made time to come to Yu Xiaogang's side and tell him about the Douluo Continent.

Sometimes he told interesting stories, sometimes he taught necessary knowledge, and sometimes he simply described the things that had happened recently.

His voice was steady and slow, as if he were afraid that Yu Xiaogang would not understand if he spoke too quickly.

He did this day after day, never once missing a day.

White World, Spirit Hall.

"Father..."

Bibi Dong looked at Yu Yuanzhen accompanying Yu Xiaogang in the scene, and her nose suddenly felt a little sore.

At that time, Yu Yuanzhen had no idea that Yu Xiaogang would recover his mind in the future, nor did he know that Yu Xiaogang would become a Titled Douluo.

Therefore, his kindness toward Yu Xiaogang was purely the love of a father for his son.

Even an ordinary family might not necessarily act this way, let alone Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent.

Yu Yuanzhen truly deserved to be called a good father.

"That's why I've never wanted to disappoint Father."

Yu Xiaogang spoke softly.

At that time, although he was still in a dull and foolish state, he actually knew everything happening around him.

He simply had no way to properly control his body.

Yet Yu Yuanzhen's companionship and concern for him were things Yu Xiaogang could clearly feel.

This love from his father was something Yu Xiaogang had never experienced before.

Before transmigrating, Yu Xiaogang had been an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. He had never experienced the love of parents.

After transmigrating, with the memories of an adult, he should have found everything about the Douluo Continent difficult to accept.

But Yu Yuanzhen's love truly allowed him to find his own anchor in the Douluo Continent.

Yu Xiaogang understood that he was no longer alone like he had been in his previous life.

He had a father who would never abandon him, even if he remained dull and foolish.

Dark World, Shrek Academy.

Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at Yu Yuanzhen, whose face on the Heaven Screen was filled with warmth.

How long had it been since he had last seen a father like this?

He still remembered that before he had awakened his Martial Soul, his father had also cared for him so attentively.

However, at that time, he had been the highly anticipated young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Everyone had fawned over him, so he had considered everything only natural.

But one Martial Soul Awakening had caused him to lose everything.

After that, had his father ever looked at him with that expression again?

Yu Xiaogang searched through his memories, only to discover that he had never cared what expression might appear on his father's face.

When had that proud expression he wore for his sake disappeared?

And when had disgust toward him begun to appear on his face?

He had never cared about any of it.

The video continued...

With Yu Yuanzhen's constant companionship, Yu Xiaogang reached the age of five and was less than a year away from undergoing his Martial Soul Awakening.

Yet even now, Yu Xiaogang still looked dull and foolish. Countless people had mocked Yu Yuanzhen because of him, ridiculing how a Titled Douluo had actually fathered a fool.

Yu Yuanzhen paid no attention to those jeers. He only focused on what he needed to do, as if those mocking voices did not exist.

That day, Yu Yuanzhen was telling Yu Xiaogang about the things that had happened recently, as usual.

Just as Yu Yuanzhen was describing the two geniuses of the Clear Sky Sect,

suddenly.

"Father..."

A childish yet clear voice rang beside his ear. In an instant, Yu Yuanzhen froze.

He instinctively looked to the side, only then realizing that his son, who had been beside him for several years and whose eyes had always looked dull, now had eyes that were bright and lively.
