Slaughtered into Fear; Gangzi Breaks Through to Level Twenty

The girl in black veil was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't you want to observe the battle and see how things go?"

Yu Mingxiao shook his head and said, "No need. Go and register me. I want to participate in the competition as soon as possible."

The Black-Veiled Woman didn't know if this man was a naive fool or truly capable. After hesitating for a moment, she accepted the identity token he handed her and went to register.

After Yu Mingxiao participated in the first battle, he killed nine other people with his ordinary strength. When he walked out of the Hell Slaughter Arena, the woman in black veil who had greeted him earlier was gone.

It's likely that his newbie protection period ended the moment he entered the Hell Slaughter Arena.

Yu Mingxiao didn't care about this.

In the following six months, he killed more than a thousand people in the Capital of Slaughter.

Some of these kills occurred in the inner city, not in the Hell Slaughter Arena, and therefore do not count towards the match wins.

He's only had a 35-game winning streak.

Ever since he made a name for himself, few have dared to challenge him on stage.

Moreover, although going to the Hell Slaughter Arena once allows you to stay in the inner city for a year, it is extremely dangerous, a true nine out of ten chance of death. Few people go there on weekdays, and sometimes they can't even gather ten people to start a competition.

Under such circumstances, Yu Mingxiao lived a life accompanied by killing.

Four more months passed.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Xiaogang burst into tears of joy; he had successfully broken through to level 20.

After secretly cleaning toilets on Sea God Island for two and a half months, he received a reward from the Sea God, instantly leveling up three levels to break through to level nineteen.

Afterwards, he left Sea God Island, bid farewell to the other people who were still taking the test, and rushed back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

That's right, he didn't go back to the Thunder Academy; he dropped out directly. Staying in that kind of place was not as comfortable as staying in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Yuanzhen originally wanted Yu Xiaogang to return to the academy to continue his cultivation and studies, but Yu Xiaogang was like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water, and wouldn't listen to reason.

Having no other choice, they simply stopped pressuring him and let him stay in the family to cultivate, too lazy to bother with him anymore.

Anyway, now that the family has Yu Mingxiao to uphold its reputation, Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, is irrelevant.

"Father, I've broken through to level 20!" Yu Xiaogang excitedly pushed open the study door and shouted.

"Level 20? So fast?" Yu Yuanzhen was taken aback. He remembered that when Yu Xiaogang went to Sea God Island, he was only level 16.

As a result, after ten months, he broke through to level 20.

If it were Yu Mingxiao, it wouldn't be surprising, but Yu Xiaogang's Talent is truly hard to describe.

Could it be the test for Sea God Island?

Yu Yuanzhen instantly realized this and suddenly understood the key point.

I just don't know what he was tested on, and I just hope he doesn't embarrass his father.

Yu Xiaogang said, "Father, quickly take me to hunt for my Second Soul Ring."

Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a moment, then took out a piece of dried Whale Rubber from the drawer and said calmly, "Do you recognize this?"

"This is... amber?" Yu Xiaogang asked, puzzled. "Father, I wanted you to take me to hunt for Soul Ring, not some amber."

"This isn't amber, it's Whale Rubber."

Seeing that he didn't understand anything, Yu Yuanzhen had no choice but to explain, "To outsiders, Whale Rubber only has the function of enhancing pleasure, but your elder brother has discovered its true effects."

"Why is it him again? Why do I hear about his exploits everywhere I go?!"

Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply, feeling as if his elder brother was an inescapable shadow, omnipresent.

He suppressed his frustration and pressed on, "So what exactly are the real effects of this Whale Rubber?"

Yu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice, "This Whale Rubber can strengthen the physical body and help Soul Master withstand Soul Ring of higher age."

"Ordinary genius Soul Master can only absorb First Soul Ring of a little over four hundred years at most. But if they consume a piece of Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, absorbing First Soul Ring of six or seven hundred years is no problem at all."

"How is this possible? There's actually such a treasure in the world? Then... then why did people only use it for entertainment before?" Yu Xiaogang said, his face full of disbelief.

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head. "I don't know about that, but it's true that your elder brother's physical body became stronger after taking it."

"This is a family secret of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I'm only telling you this because you are my second son. This matter must never be revealed to outsiders."

Yu Xiaogang nodded blankly, then couldn't help but ask, "Then... did Big Brother's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring also withstand the impact of the Soul Power of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring by consuming Whale Rubber?"

He could never forget that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring from back then. He had seen it with his own eyes, and it was far more real than the rumors about his elder brother becoming Titled Douluo.

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring..." Yu Yuanzhen was silent for a moment, then said, "This has nothing to do with Whale Rubber. It can only help you build a solid physical foundation; it can't make you reach the top in one step."

"Then why was my brother able to obtain Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring? Is that story fake?" Yu Xiaogang pressed on.

Yu Yuanzhen didn't want to answer his question anymore. Instead, he took out the Millennium Whale Rubber and said in a deep voice, "This is a piece of Millennium Whale Rubber. I'll use my Soul Power to dissolve it for you. Take it while it's still warm."

Yu Xiaogang didn't get the answer he wanted and wanted to ask more, but when he saw his father's face turn serious, he immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and obediently replied, "Okay, then quickly help me dissolve the Whale Rubber."

Yu Yuanzhen said no more. Lightning surged in his palm, and the Whale Rubber softened into a gel-like substance under the scorching heat of the lightning.

"Take it."

Yu Xiaogang reached out and took the Whale Rubber, but the temperature was too high, burning his hand so much that he lost his grip and it fell to the ground with a thud.

"You..."

Yu Yuanzhen both angry and helpless, he really didn't expect Yu Xiaogang to always do things that made him so frustrated.

"Quickly pick it up and eat it!"

"Okay, sure."

Seeing his father's anger, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly bent down to pick up the Whale Rubber from the ground, enduring the burning sensation, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The side effects kicked in quickly; Yu Xiaogang's cheeks flushed bright red, and he felt an unbearable heat throughout his body.

He... sent... on... the... work...

"Father, I... I want to."

Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a while, then, seeing that he was burning up with heat, he threw him into the cold water.

Even so, the burning sensation inside my body couldn't be suppressed.

"Can't you use your Soul Power to suppress the heat inside your body? What an idiot!"

Yu Yuanzhen was almost driven mad with anger by him, secretly thinking to himself that Yu Xiaogang was utterly useless.

Having no other choice, he summoned the elderly matron of the manor and asked her to call over two young maids.

But when the old nanny arrived, Yu Xiaogang was already dizzy from the effects of the Whale Rubber, and like a hungry pig pouncing on its prey, he overpowered her.
