The Three-Year Term Has Arrived, I, Yu Xiaogang, Have Broken Through!

"Ye Yushang's letter was not merely thanking me. She also asked about you."

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile.

Yu Tianjun was stunned.

"Me?"

"Of course. She must have gone back and asked around about you, learning of your talent."

As he said this, Yu Yuanzhen's tone carried a hint of pride.

After all, Yu Tianjun's talent was exceptional not only within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, but across the entire continent. It was only natural for Ye Yushang to mention him.

"She said that in the future, you could spend more time interacting with that girl Ye Rou'er."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled faintly.

"The Ye Clan, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, possesses purely support-type martial spirits."

After a pause, Yu Yuanzhen continued.

"In other words, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they need powerful people to protect them."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has money, as well as the protection of the Sword and Bone Douluo. The Ye Clan lacks that kind of business sense and can only build connections by healing the sick and saving lives."

In other words, a sect like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which specialized in powerful attack-type martial spirits, was naturally an ideal partner for the Nine Heart Begonia.

It was only natural that Ye Yushang wanted to establish ties with them.

Sure enough, Yu Yuanzhen was right. When dealing with someone, especially a woman, he absolutely could not cling to her like a pathetic lapdog. He had to wait for her to come looking for him.

"Keep in touch with Ye Rou'er more often in the future. Ye Yushang likely wants the two of you to cooperate with each other."

"Haha."

Before Yu Tianjun could respond, Yu Luomian burst out laughing first.

"I think getting acquainted is just an excuse. Arranging a marriage is the real goal."

Yu Luomian teased.

"The Ye Clan is far weaker than our clan. Ordinary Soul Douluo are one thing, but they have no access to Title Douluo."

Without reaching the level of a Title Douluo, one could never truly be considered a top-tier family.

These two old foxes, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, had already guessed Ye Yushang's intentions.

With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's full support, Yu Tianjun would almost certainly become a Title Douluo in the future. This letter was Ye Yushang's way of expressing her position.

Yu Tianjun gave a bitter smile.

Although people on Douluo Continent matured early, he did not want to get engaged at six years old.

How could a man be trapped by romance and family matters at six years old, damn it?!

"Ye Rou'er is quite pretty, and the Ye Clan's connections are worth our investment."

Oh? Then perhaps being bound by this kind of affection was not so bad after all.

Yu Tianjun coughed lightly.

"Father, Second Uncle, I'll go back and cultivate first."

After Yu Tianjun left, Yu Yuanzhen's smile gradually faded. He looked seriously at Yu Luomian.

"Second Brother."

"Hm?"

Yu Luomian froze, instantly sensing that something was wrong. He hurriedly rose to his feet.

"What is it, Big Brother?"

Yu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment.

"I know you are naturally promiscuous, but do not get too close to those women of the entertainment houses, lest you end up with an illegitimate child one day."

Yu Yuanzhen's words carried a deeper meaning, and Yu Luomian's body tensed.

"I understand, Big Brother. I'll be careful."

"Good. You may leave now. Cultivate diligently, and when the time comes, I'll take you hunting for a soul ring."

Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand. Only after Yu Luomian had left did he sigh helplessly.

"Second Brother, Second Brother, do you think I don't know you? Before long, I'll probably have a niece. Sigh..."

Yu Xiaogang's courtyard.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the two Soul Elders standing guard at the entrance and sighed helplessly.

This was great. With his innate half-level Soul Power talent, when would he ever be able to get out?

Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen had not completely given up on him. Instead, he wanted to push him to cultivate, preparing plenty of cultivation resources for him every day.

Although cultivation was arduous for Yu Xiaogang, he could still see some hope in the early stages.

The days passed one by one, and Yu Xiaogang's cultivation steadily improved.

Three years later...

"Three years, three years! I, Yu Xiaogang, have finally broken through!"

Yu Xiaogang laughed wildly. The two guards at the door exchanged glances, their eyes full of helplessness.

What was this guy so happy about? He had used so many resources, yet it took him three years just to break through to level ten.

The two brothers had guarded this place for three years and were nearly Soul Ancestors themselves.

Yu Xiaogang was completely unaware of this. Instead, he was immensely proud as he pushed open the door.

After three years, Yu Xiaogang's features had matured somewhat.

Perhaps the three years of confinement had changed Yu Xiaogang's mindset. His appearance had become somewhat more stubborn and obsessive.

With a cold snort, Yu Xiaogang did not even glance at the two guards before heading straight for Yu Yuanzhen's residence.

Before he even entered the courtyard, a series of shouts reached his ears.

Yu Xiaogang's expression shifted as he looked into the courtyard from afar.

He saw Yu Tianjun sparring with Yu Yuanzhen. The warmth in their smiles was something Yu Xiaogang had never seen before.

"Not bad. The force behind this strike is already close to that of a high-level Soul Elder."

"Not bad, not bad. Your second soul skill will have a miraculous effect at critical moments."

Yu Yuanzhen's constant praise twisted Yu Xiaogang's expression.

Ever since awakening his martial spirit three years ago, let alone receiving such praise, Yu Xiaogang had rarely even seen Yu Yuanzhen.

Yet Yu Tianjun could make Yu Yuanzhen personally spar with him!

And after cultivating bitterly for three years, Yu Xiaogang had gotten nothing!

Nothing at all!

What, those medicinal baths and cultivation resources?

Not worth mentioning. Not worth mentioning.

Yu Xiaogang never considered them help from the clan. They were simply what he deserved.

Those three years had shaped Yu Xiaogang's personality into something overly obsessive.

Without entering the courtyard, Yu Xiaogang turned and left.

"Hmph, so what if Father spars with you? Once I obtain my soul ring, you definitely won't be my match!"

At nine years old, Yu Xiaogang clearly had yet to recognize reality.

Relying on his status as the clan leader's younger son, Yu Xiaogang still found several people to help him hunt for a soul ring.

Only after they set off did Yu Yuanzhen receive word.

"How absurd. He did not even inform me, his father?"

Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened, and he became somewhat dissatisfied with Yu Xiaogang.

He had intended to use these three years to temper Yu Xiaogang's character, but he had not expected him to remain so unruly.

Yu Tianjun stopped attacking, and his three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—faded away.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly. Having just obtained his third soul ring, Yu Tianjun had adjusted his aura so quickly. He was worth Yu Yuanzhen making time to personally spar with him.

"Cultivate properly. I'll follow Xiaogang and take a look."

After all, Yu Xiaogang was his biological son. Yu Yuanzhen still could not help worrying.

Yu Tianjun nodded and said nothing, continuing his cultivation.

Yu Yuanzhen was greatly satisfied.

According to the records, the Golden Dragon martial spirit cultivated very slowly, yet Yu Tianjun had still broken through to Soul Elder at the age of nine.

Even Yu Yuanzhen was deeply satisfied with that level of effort.

This was what a son of Yu Yuanzhen should be: hardworking, humble, and low-key. Only then could he thrive on this continent.

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head and stopped thinking about it, afraid that his resentment would grow so great that he would throw Yu Xiaogang out of the clan.

Activating his Soul Power, Yu Yuanzhen secretly caught up to Yu Xiaogang's group.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang felt the mountain breeze and was utterly at ease.

"The three-year term has arrived. The day I, Yu Xiaogang, become a Soul Master is today!"
