But considering that, in his impression, Yu Xiaogang was an idiot severely lacking in basic Spirit Master knowledge.
Wang Chuan pointed at Golden Scale, who was dozing on his arm.
"Second Young Master, do you know what breed of sub-dragon my Golden Scale is?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt that Wang Chuan was looking down on him, but he still cooperatively replied.
"Serpent-Dragon Species."
Wang Chuan nodded slightly, thinking that the other man was not entirely beyond saving after all, then said.
"I know why you came to ask me for this information. You want Luo Sanpao to gain positive benefits from its Spirit Ring, right?"
There was nothing to hide, so Yu Xiaogang readily admitted it.
Just then, Wang Chuan smiled mysteriously.
"This is where the problem lies, Second Young Master.
The reason I'm dissatisfied with the price is that my Spirit Ring information isn't simply about choosing a specific Spirit Beast to obtain one from. There's a complex set of discernment methods involved.
It took me a long time before I finally settled on this Spirit Ring."
Yu Xiaogang frowned, vaguely understanding something as he asked in confusion.
"Then what do you mean?"
Wang Chuan rubbed his hands together, wearing the slick smile of a merchant.
"You'll have to pay more~"
Yu Xiaogang slapped a hand against his forehead, his face full of helplessness. He had thought there would be some earth-shattering twist.
But this was it?
Yu Xiaogang immediately waved his hand grandly.
"No problem. As long as your information is useful, I'll give you twenty thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Wang Chuan drew a sharp breath inwardly.
That was more than he could earn from painstakingly hunting a ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast and transporting it out of the Spirit Beast Forest.
If Yu Xiaogang had not been a man, Wang Chuan would have wanted to come down with a stomachache.
Yet Wang Chuan remained expressionless on the surface.
Because this meant Yu Xiaogang's bottom line was far more than this amount. There was still more to squeeze out of him!
So Wang Chuan immediately shook his head and held up three fingers.
"Not enough. I want thirty thousand."
In the end, Wang Chuan did not dare ask for too much. He only added another ten thousand.
After all, Yu Xiaogang had no concept of money, but the big shots behind him certainly did. They would never tolerate a branch family member taking advantage of the second young master of the main branch like this.
Besides, this theory was only suitable for special Martial Spirits with exceptionally high spiritual intelligence, like Golden Scale.
If it were a universal theory capable of directly identifying a Martial Spirit's innate attributes, Wang Chuan could have named an exorbitant price, because such a theory could affect the very foundation of a faction's legacy.
Even so, Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly at the price.
He only had fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins on hand at the moment, and he had barely managed to save them over the years. Thirty thousand was somewhat beyond his expectations.
But when he thought of his future, and how he could receive a large sum of Gold Soul Coins with just a little pleading to his father and elder brother,
Yu Xiaogang ultimately waved his hand grandly and learned from Wang Chuan how to use Luo Sanpao's keen senses to select a Spirit Ring.
For a moment, Yu Xiaogang found it utterly astonishing.
He also understood why Wang Chuan had asked whether he knew what the Serpent-Dragon Species was.
Both of his parents possessed Pterosaur Species Martial Spirits. Absorbing a Serpent-Dragon Species Spirit Ring really could have caused problems, no wonder Wang Chuan had not directly said what Spirit Ring he had absorbed at first.
Yu Xiaogang immediately felt that the money had been well spent.
He had never expected the Luo Sanpao he considered useless to possess such advantages!
So, after promptly settling the remaining payment, Yu Xiaogang dashed off to find his father and have him procure Spirit Beasts for him to choose from.
Not minding the filth, Wang Chuan lightly kissed the Gold Soul Coin card in his hand, stored it in his storage Soul Tool, and leisurely went off to worship his five viscera temple~
Just as Wang Chuan had expected afterward.
Since the money spent had not touched Yu Xiaogang's bottom line, Blue Lightning's upper ranks naturally would not seek out Wang Chuan to assert their authority over such a trivial sum.
Following Wang Chuan's theory, Yu Xiaogang successfully absorbed a Light Attribute sub-dragon.
But perhaps because his first Spirit Ring had held him back, Luo Sanpao's dragon horns had only grown out a little, and it had gained a pair of tiny wings that could not fly at all. Its overall changes were minimal, and it still gave off a rather silly impression.
Even so, Yu Xiaogang was moved to tears.
Because his second soul skill was finally no longer farting. He could finally hold his head high!
And because of the limitations of this theory, the upper ranks merely found it somewhat novel before withdrawing their attention from Yu Xiaogang.
After all, a nineteen-year-old Soul Grandmaster was only barely comparable to a minor genius among commoners, perhaps even slightly inferior. That was only achieved after consuming a vast amount of family resources.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang's claims of proving himself by breaking through certain realms had always been a joke in the eyes of Blue Lightning's upper ranks.
The dignified Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects.
Would it lack such low- and mid-level Spirit Masters?
Afterward, Yu Xiaogang recovered from the excitement of his breakthrough and once again began cultivating "diligently." Information about him within the clan fell silent once more.
Thus, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan returned to peace.
Just when Wang Chuan thought everything would remain calm until he came of age,
One day, just after Wang Chuan finished his morning training and was preparing to feast heartily,
A spiky-haired young man dressed in a fitted blue outfit, with a confident smile at the corners of his mouth, came looking for him.
Wang Chuan tilted his head. Ever since he had defeated those main branch trash, no clansman had dared approach him for a long time.
So why was someone so obviously dressed like a main branch member looking for him now?
As the saying went, unprompted kindness either hid treachery or theft.
Wang Chuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Super Intelligence, activate!
The newcomer smugly swept a hand through his hair.
Then, with his eyes fixed entirely on Wang Chuan, he stared at him intensely, making Wang Chuan almost instinctively suspect the man's preferences.
He feared the man would say something like, "Spread them yourself!"
If that happened, even if Super Intelligence smoked from overuse, all Wang Chuan could think of would be beating this man to a pulp before abandoning the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, such a fine place to grow.
There was no other reason. He did not want to get fucked—who knew whether there were powerful people in the clan who shared this man's tastes!
Just as Wang Chuan was extremely tense and about to lose control of his fists,
The other man spoke.
"Hello~ Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Dalong. You can call me Brother Dalong.
As you can see, I am a noble member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon main branch.
I came here today for only one reason.
I heard about what happened between you and that trash Yu Lin. I have to say, your cultivation talent is a little lacking, but your combat strength is not bad.
But don't get cocky!
The reason you could defeat Yu Lin was because Yu Lin is trash!
Not because the main branch is weak!
I came today to prove that point. I have specifically come to challenge you to a Soul Battle!"
As he spoke, lightning crackled around his body, and three Spirit Rings—yellow, yellow, and purple—appeared. He was clearly a Soul Elder.
"Yu Dalong, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit, level 32 Battle Soul Elder. Please enlighten me!
Come on, staking my honor, I will prove to the entire clan the might of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
