"What a pity, what a pity." Yu Xiao Gang muttered, his expression vacant.

Watching his son, Yu Xiao Gang, in such a dazed and broken state, Yu Yuanzhen felt a pang of distress. After all, he was his own son, so he hurriedly asked Su Ming:

"Then, Master Su, is there still any possibility for my son Yu Xiao Gang's Martial Soul to evolve into a Radiant Sacred Dragon?"

"That depends on the situation. Wait a moment; let me ask Yu Xiao Gang a few questions first."

Hearing the title Yu Yuanzhen used for him, Su Ming looked at Yu Xiao Gang and began his inquiry.

"What is your first Soul Ring?"

Hearing Su Ming's question, the previously devastated Yu Xiao Gang forced himself to pull it together and answer.

"A three-hundred-and-twenty-year-old Unicorn Dragon Soul Beast."

"What is the Soul Skill you obtained?"

Hearing Su Ming ask about his Soul Skill, Yu Xiao Gang felt both ashamed and furious. The Su Ming before him only had an Innate Soul Power of level 6; with such talent, he should be thanking the heavens if he could reach the level of a Soul Sage.

Yet, relying on his own theories, he had reached over level 40 by the age of twelve and used his theories to help others evolve their Martial Souls.

And what about himself? He possessed the resources of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the data on Soul Masters and Martial Souls collected by Martial Soul Hall over the past ten thousand years.

Despite such long-term research, Yu Xiao Gang still hadn't solved the problem of his failed Martial Soul mutation. If only he were my disciple. If he were my disciple, his theories would be my theories.

But as the anger rose, he forcibly suppressed it, thinking of the possibility that his own Martial Soul could still evolve into a Radiant Sacred Dragon.

"My first Soul Skill is to attack people by farting."

Su Ming nodded.

"I understand. At the time, you must have wanted your Martial Soul, Luo Sanpao, to eventually possess the ability to fire beams of light, right?"

"What about your second Soul Skill?"

"To fart poison."

"Understood. Your line of thinking at the time must have been that since your first Soul Skill was already useless, and you were unsure if your 0.5 level of Innate Soul Power could even reach the level of a level 30 Soul Elder, you hoped for some combat power in your second Soul Ring, so you chose poison. If your Martial Soul were truly a trash Martial Soul, this logic wouldn't be wrong."

"However—"

As he spoke, Su Ming stopped looking at Yu Xiao Gang and instead turned to ask Yu Yuanzhen.

"Did you help him choose this first Soul Ring, or did he choose it himself?"

Glancing at Yu Xiao Gang beside him, Yu Yuanzhen replied with a helpless expression.

"He chose it himself. The second ring was also chosen by him."

"There must have been an omen of a Radiant Sacred Dragon phantom when he awakened, right? Later, the awakening must have failed, the phantom shattered, and this Luo Sanpao appeared as a result?"

Yu Yuanzhen nodded.

"That is correct."

Hearing the answer he expected, Su Ming looked at Yu Xiao Gang, speechless.

"I must say, your assessment of this 'god-tier prototype' Martial Soul wasn't wrong at all; this omen was a hint given to you."

"Furthermore, Yu Xiao Gang's bloodline power is sufficient; otherwise, it would have been impossible to condense a Martial Soul that possesses its own intelligence."

"You can think of this Luo Sanpao Martial Soul as a cub of a Radiant Sacred Dragon Soul Beast."

"For the first Soul Ring, you only need to hunt a Light Attribute Soul Beast. Once absorbed, your Luo Sanpao will undergo significant changes due to the Light Attribute brought by that first Soul Ring."

"Eventually, once you reach level 70, it should be able to evolve into a Radiant Sacred Dragon."

"Your Martial Soul can be classified as a Summoning type, and do not think that having a Soul Beast Martial Soul means you lack combat power."

"The potential of the Summoning type is immense. Think about it: after your Martial Soul Luo Sanpao absorbs a Light Attribute Soul Ring and changes, will it grow dragon claws? Can you then use your Soul Power to wield those dragon claws? Coupled with your Martial Soul's support, you Summoning types are simply the strongest in combat within the same realm."

"It is just a pity. You have such a good Martial Soul, and it can eat things—that is to say, it can digest things."

"Judging by your first Soul Skill, you must have fed it quite a few carrots. If you had fed it some dragon flesh or flesh with the Light Attribute, you would have been able to feel the changes in your Martial Soul."

"It is a pity, but there is nothing I can do now."

Hearing Su Ming's words, Yu Xiao Gang slumped into his chair like a pile of mud.

Seeing Yu Xiao Gang collapse like mud, and hearing that Su Ming's implication that "nothing can be done now" did not mean it would be impossible in the future, Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly asked:

"Then, Master Su, is there any other way it could evolve into a Radiant Sacred Dragon?"

"In the current situation, unless you can find a peerless herb like the Light Dragon-Nurturing Fruit."

Hearing that his Martial Soul could still be saved, and knowing that with his father Yu Yuanzhen's strength as a level 95 Super Douluo, there was no place he couldn't reach, Yu Xiao Gang stood up from his chair and asked Su Ming where the Light Dragon-Nurturing Fruit could be obtained.

"Master Su, in what kind of environment can this Light Dragon-Nurturing Fruit be obtained?"

"That is simple. Your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a history of several thousand years; your ancestors must have encountered or learned about information regarding Soul Beasts over 100,000 years old."

"A place where a Light Attribute dragon-type creature with over 200,000 years of cultivation has fallen, left undisturbed for 10,000 years, can give birth to a Light Dragon-Nurturing Fruit."

At this point, Su Ming glanced at Yu Yuanzhen.

"As long as you find such a treasure land, you will not only obtain the Light Dragon-Nurturing Fruit but also some top-tier dragon-attribute medicines, such as Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Ganoderma, Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Grass, Ten-Thousand-Year True Dragon Grass, and a whole host of other top-tier spiritual medicines suitable for dragon-type Martial Souls."

"As long as you can find such a treasure land, to say nothing else, if you, Sect Master Yu, consume one of the Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Ganoderma and one of the Ten-Thousand-Year True Dragon Grass yourself, once you reach level 98, you will be able to trade blows with a level 99 Peerless Douluo like Qian Daoliu, and perhaps even hold the upper hand."

"If you were to level up once more to become a ninety-nine-level Peerless Douluo, you would be able to suppress two Qian Daoliu at once."

Upon hearing about the resting place of a dragon-type beast with over 200,000 years of cultivation, Yu Xiao Gang knew there was no hope left, and he slumped back into his chair in a state of dejection.

As for Yu Yuanzhen, after hearing Su Ming's introduction to the immortal-grade herbs and these top-tier spiritual medicines, he cast a glance at Ning Fengzhi, recalling the information his subordinates had gathered on Su Ming over the past few months.

Ningrongrong's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and Dugu Bo no longer looked lifeless, his once-green hair having turned black—a sign that his poison arts had greatly improved—while Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent had evolved into a Jade Phosphorus Ice Dragon.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the Sword and Bone Douluo standing behind Su Ming, then turned to Ning Fengzhi and said:

"Sect Master Ning, would you allow me to see your Martial Soul?"

Ning Fengzhi instinctively looked toward Su Ming, and upon seeing this, Su Ming gave a nod.

Taking in their every movement, Yu Yuanzhen knew his suspicions were correct.

Ning Fengzhi channeled the Soul Power within his body to summon his Martial Soul, and Yu Yuanzhen looked over. Sure enough, the seven-layered Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda that should have appeared in Ning Fengzhi's right hand with a seven-colored glow had transformed into a nine-layered Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda radiating a nine-colored light.

Following this, two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings emerged from beneath Ning Fengzhi's feet, converging onto the nine-layered pagoda; now, only the topmost layer of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's hand remained without a Soul Ring.

Seeing the eighth Soul Ring appear on Ning Fengzhi's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, Yu Yuanzhen turned his head to look at Su Ming, but just as he was about to ask a question, he was interrupted by Su Ming.
