Yu Xiaogang smiled stiffly. In the pitch-black night, Yu Tianjun could clearly see the strange look on his face.

It was obvious that Yu Xiaogang was dissatisfied because of the Martial Souls the two of them had awakened.

"Big brother, I came to see you because I wanted to plan out a cultivation path for you. I know a lot about Martial Souls."

Yu Xiaogang rubbed his hands together and spoke guiltily.

He was only six years old. At most, he had read a few children's storybooks about Martial Souls. How could he possibly be well versed in them?

Yu Tianjun became interested and was somewhat curious about what Yu Xiaogang would say.

Of course, he did not intend to cultivate according to Yu Xiaogang's advice. He simply wanted to enjoy the show.

"What do you have to say?"

"Ahem... according to my research, a Martial Soul like the Golden Dragon has powerful vitality..."

Yu Xiaogang began spouting nonsense the moment he opened his mouth. What did he know about the Golden Dragon? He had merely copied the template of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

"So I think the Golden Dragon's Soul Rings should not come from ordinary beasts. Instead, it can absorb plant-type Soul Beasts with powerful vitality and strengthen its already formidable vitality."

The more Yu Xiaogang spoke, the more excited he became.

"Think about it. Your Golden Dragon is already a dragon-type Martial Soul. After its vitality is enhanced by several plant-type Soul Beasts, just how powerful would it become?"

Yu Tianjun was speechless, nearly laughing himself mad inside.

Gangzi, oh Gangzi. You gave beast-type Soul Rings to a plant-type Martial Soul, then plant-type Soul Rings to a beast-type Martial Soul. As expected of you.

Only Yu Xiaogang would dare propose a theory that violated such fundamental laws.

Anyone with even the slightest understanding of Martial Souls would never say something like that.

Blue Silver Grass succeeded only because it was too weak. That also meant it could embrace all things; no matter what came along, it could fuse with it well.

And honestly, Blue Silver Grass, which originally excelled in vitality, had become something that could only Entangle. Was that really a success of theoretical research?

Not necessarily!

Yu Tianjun could no longer be bothered with Yu Xiaogang.

"Go back and rest early. Father is taking me to absorb a Soul Ring tomorrow."

Yu Tianjun's words made Yu Xiaogang freeze on the spot.

Yu Tianjun did not pay it any mind, assuming it was merely embarrassment after being rejected, and turned to enter the house.

But what Yu Tianjun could not have imagined was that Yu Xiaogang had already read all sorts of meaning into his words.

What did he mean by saying you were going to absorb a Soul Ring tomorrow? Did he mean that my Innate Half-Level Soul Power meant I could not absorb a Soul Ring?!

Did he mean he was getting ahead of me?!

Did he mean I was trash?!

Yu Xiaogang roared inwardly.

"You look down on my theories, but one day, I will definitely become the greatest Martial Soul theory master in the world!"

"I will use my theories to train a disciple capable of surpassing you!"

"There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters!"

Yu Xiaogang stormed off.

Early the next morning, Yu Yuanzhen personally set out with Yu Tianjun for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, Yu Yuanzhen brought up Yu Xiaogang.

"If your younger brother had properly tempered his body in ordinary times, he might have successfully mutated. I checked yesterday. His body is simply too frail to support the Martial Soul's mutation."

Yu Yuanzhen spoke helplessly.

He had reprimanded Yu Xiaogang many times over this matter, yet Yu Xiaogang simply would not listen.

Yu Tianjun shrugged and could only comfort Yu Yuanzhen.

"Father, there is no need to be so anxious. Xiaogang has his own path he wants to take..."

"What path does he want to take? The path of becoming a Soul Master at forty after absorbing his first Soul Ring?!"

Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly.

Yu Tianjun scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.

"He probably wants to become a master in the field of theory. He even said last night that he wanted to teach me cultivation."

"Teach you cultivation?"

Yu Yuanzhen immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"How did he tell you to cultivate?"

"He said I should absorb Soul Rings from several plant-type Soul Beasts to strengthen the Golden Dragon's vitality."

"Absorb Soul Rings from plant-type Soul Beasts?!"

Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage. If they had not already set out, he would have gone back to drag Yu Xiaogang over and give him a beating!

Forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, Yu Yuanzhen said,

"From now on, ignore whatever your younger brother says. He is just a piece of... ahem, he is just a child. What could he possibly know better than his father? If you have any cultivation problems, come to me."

As a newly promoted Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen was confident that he could teach a level-ten child.

However, Yu Yuanzhen had already decided in his heart how he would punish Yu Xiaogang once they returned.

Yu Tianjun was the clan's hope, the clan's future who had awakened the Golden Dragon!

Though both were his sons, Yu Xiaogang's pig Martial Soul was truly too much for the prideful Yu Yuanzhen to accept.

Fortunately, Yu Tianjun had awakened such a powerful Martial Soul as the Golden Dragon yesterday. Otherwise, Yu Yuanzhen would surely have become a laughingstock in Soul Master circles!

Yu Yuanzhen, who had just become a Titled Douluo and was brimming with pride, clearly could not tolerate such a thing.

Yet Yu Xiaogang, of all people, had actually dared to guide the cultivation of the clan's future.

He wanted a genius with a top-tier Beast Martial Soul to absorb plant-type Soul Rings!

"Tian Jun, do not listen to anything Xiaogang says from now on!"

Yu Yuanzhen repeatedly warned him, afraid that Yu Tianjun was young and might be fooled by Yu Xiaogang.

Given Yu Tianjun's current reputation within the clan, there would definitely be many people eager to help him hunt Soul Rings.

If one day Yu Tianjun lost his mind and led a group of people to hunt plant-type Soul Rings, Yu Yuanzhen would not even know where to cry.

"I understand, Father."

Yu Tianjun nodded.

Yu Yuanzhen gave a slight nod. He was in no rush to travel, and after leaving the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they continued on foot.

Yu Tianjun was still young and had hardly ever left the clan before. Yu Yuanzhen wanted to show him what this vast world was like.

"When traveling outside, you must always stay alert. You will definitely have to go out and study in the future, to see the geniuses of this world. You cannot just shut yourself away and build a cart behind closed doors."

Yu Yuanzhen instructed him carefully, then seemed to think of something and added,

"With your talent and background, plenty of people will surely want to become your teacher once you go out."

"Keep a close eye out. You must be wary of teachers with no professional ethics."

"Especially those teachers who are incompetent but like to fool students into becoming experimental subjects. They are the most detestable. They simply deserve to die!"

Yu Yuanzhen said.

Yu Tianjun laughed. That description sounded exactly like the future Yu Xiaogang.

"Then Father, what kind of Soul Ring should I absorb for my first Soul Ring?"

When the topic turned serious, Yu Yuanzhen became much more solemn.

"According to our clan's research, the first few Soul Rings are basically fixed, but you awakened the Golden Dragon, so you must absorb something better..."

"If you absorb offensive Soul Skills now, they will basically become useless later on. Therefore, our first choice should be enhancement-type Soul Skills."

"After you spend two more days getting familiar with the outside world, I will take you onward. Let us reach the Star Dou Great Forest quickly and hope we can find a suitable Soul Beast for you."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed.

Suitable Soul Beasts were not easy to find. Who knew how long this trip would take?

If it had not been Yu Tianjun who needed to absorb a Soul Ring, Yu Yuanzhen, as the clan leader, definitely would not have personally come out to hunt Soul Beasts.
