Will You Teach Me to Cultivate?

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

Obviously, Yu Xiaogang was dissatisfied with the Martial Souls the two of them had awakened.

"Big Brother, I came to find you because I want to plan out your cultivation path. I've done a lot of research on 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 have done extensive research?

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 some entertainment.

"How so?"

"Ahem... according to my research, Martial Souls like the Golden Dragon possess powerful vitality..."

The moment Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, he began spouting nonsense. How could he know anything about a Golden Dragon? He had merely copied the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's template.

"So I think the Golden Dragon's Soul Rings shouldn't come from ordinary beasts. Instead, you should absorb plant-type Soul Beasts with powerful vitality to strengthen its already formidable life force."

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

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

Yu Tianjun was speechless, though he was nearly laughing himself mad inside.

Gangzi, Gangzi... making plant-type Martial Souls absorb beast-type Soul Rings, and beast-type Martial Souls absorb plant-type Soul Rings. As expected of you.

Only Yu Xiaogang would dare propose a theory that violated the most basic laws.

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

Blue Silver Grass could succeed only because it was too weak. That also meant it could embrace all things and fuse well with whatever came its way.

And honestly, Blue Silver Grass, which originally excelled in vitality, had become something that could only Entangle. Could that truly be considered 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 in place.

Yu Tianjun did not pay it any mind, assuming he was merely embarrassed after being rejected. He turned and went inside.

What Yu Tianjun did not expect was that Yu Xiaogang had already wildly interpreted the meaning behind his words.

What did he mean, you're going to absorb a Soul Ring tomorrow? Was he saying that my innate half-rank Soul Power meant I couldn't absorb a Soul Ring?!

Was he saying he was one step ahead of me?!

Was he saying I was trash?!

Yu Xiaogang roared in his heart.

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

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

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

Yu Xiaogang left in fury.

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 little brother had been willing to properly temper his body, 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 told Yu Xiaogang this many times, yet Yu Xiaogang simply would not listen.

Yu Tianjun shrugged and could only comfort Yu Yuanzhen.

"Father, there's 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 by absorbing his first Soul Ring at forty?!"

Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly.

Yu Tianjun scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.

"He probably wants to become a master in theoretical research. He even said last night that he wanted to teach me how to cultivate."

"Teach you how to cultivate?"

Yu Yuanzhen immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"How did he tell you to cultivate?"

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

"Absorb plant-type Soul Beast Soul Rings?!"

Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage. If they had not already set out, he would have dragged Yu Xiaogang over and given him a severe beating!

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

"From now on, don't listen to anything your brother says. He's just trash... cough, he's just a child. How could he know more than his father? If you have any questions about cultivation, come find me."

As a newly advanced Title Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen was confident that he could teach a child at level ten.

Yet in his heart, Yu Yuanzhen had already decided 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 they were both his sons, Yu Xiaogang's pig Martial Soul truly made the prideful Yu Yuanzhen unable to accept it.

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

Yu Yuanzhen, who had only just become a Title Douluo and was full of pride, clearly could not tolerate such a thing.

And yet Yu Xiaogang dared to instruct the clan's future on cultivation.

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

"Tian Jun, don't listen to anything Xiaogang says in the future!"

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

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

If Yu Tianjun ever 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 nodded slightly. He was in no hurry to travel, and after leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory, 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 you're away from home, you must always stay alert. You'll definitely have to go out and study in the future. See the geniuses of this world for yourself. You can't just shut yourself away and blindly work in isolation."

Yu Yuanzhen carefully advised him. Then, as though he had thought of something, he added,

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

"Pay close attention. You must be wary of bad teachers with no professional ethics."

"Especially those teachers who are incompetent yet enjoy fooling students into becoming their experiments. They're the worst. They 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 one?"

When it came to serious matters, Yu Yuanzhen became much more solemn.

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

"If you absorb an offensive Soul Skill now, it will basically become useless later on. So our first choice should be a boosting Soul Skill."

"After you familiarize yourself with the outside world for another two days, I'll take you faster. Let's reach the Star Dou Great Forest as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can find a suitable Soul Beast for you."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed.

Suitable Soul Beasts were not easy to find. This trip might take who knew how long.

If the one needing to absorb a Soul Ring had not been Yu Tianjun, Yu Yuanzhen, as clan leader, certainly would not have come out personally to hunt Soul Beasts.
