Forever Stuck at Level 19?

Seeing Yu Xiaogang Entanglement with the old nanny, Yu Yuanzhen was dumbfounded and tried to pull the delirious Yu Xiaogang away.

But after hesitating for a moment, he lowered his raised hand and sighed softly, "Never mind, it's all the same whether it's releasing the medicinal effects or who does it."

The old woman entangled with Yu Xiaogang is called Sister Yu. She is a servant trained by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan since childhood.

Although he was tall and burly, Yu Xiaogang was in a daze and would crawl into any hole he could find, not caring about whether it looked good or not.

Time passed by, second by second.

The feverishness in Yu Xiaogang's body gradually subsided.

Just when Yu Yuanzhen thought the matter was over, a Youyou light suddenly emanated from his body, followed by a burst of golden light.

"Ah--" Yu Xiaogang's eyes suddenly widened and bulged out, letting out a shrill scream.

Sister Yu was startled and quickly dressed herself and stood up.

"Sect Master, what's wrong with Young Master Gang?"

Yu Yuanzhen's face instantly darkened. He rushed to Yu Xiaogang's side, grabbed his wrist, and used his Soul Power to probe into his body through his meridians to check his physical condition.

"This... this is Attribute Backlash."

"What is Attribute Backlash?" Yu Xiaogang asked, using the last vestiges of his sanity.

"Don't speak. I'll help you disperse your Soul Power. You should cooperate properly."

Yu Yuanzhen's expression darkened, and his Soul Power surged into his body, guiding him to slowly disperse the chaotic power within him and resolve the backlash.

Attribute Backlash, as the name suggests, means that the dark attribute and the light attribute within Yu Xiaogang's body conflicted.

As we all know, these two properties are diametrically opposed, just like water and fire, which cannot coexist, and the same is true for light and darkness.

Previously, Yu Xiaogang may have had a weak foundation and low Soul Power, so he had not triggered the Attribute Backlash.

However, this time his Soul Power surged too quickly, planting hidden dangers within his body long ago. In addition, that piece of Whale Rubber may have acted as a fuse, completely igniting the hidden dangers. The situation could no longer be controlled, directly causing the disaster of Attribute Backlash.

If Yu Xiaogang had a stronger will, he could have refined the medicinal power of the Whale Rubber on his own, and perhaps he wouldn't have encountered this troublesome Attribute Backlash.

However, his willpower was too weak, and he couldn't suppress the burning effects of the medicine in his body. He let the medicine run rampant throughout his body, which is why he ended up in this state.

Thinking of this, Yu Yuanzhen felt even more disgusted with his youngest son.

Why is such a piece of trash my bloodline?

Even with all the mutations, it shouldn't be this useless, right?

Yu Xiaogang immediately noticed that his Soul Power was leaking out of his body, and even the foundation of his cultivation was loosening, and his cultivation level was forcibly suppressed and scattered.

He was heartbroken and pleaded urgently, "Father, please don't strip me of my Soul Power!"

"Foolish! You can't suppress this backlash within your body at all. If I don't help you disperse your Soul Power, are you just waiting to explode and die?"

Yu Yuanzhen, spitting as Yu Xiaogang, his face filled with disappointment and frustration.

He had never seen anyone so troublesome. If this guy weren't his son, he would have given up on him long ago and let him fend for himself.

Seeing his father's fierce expression, Yu Xiaogang immediately lowered his head and shrank back like a quail, not daring to utter a single breath or utter a single word of rebuttal.

He could only pray silently that his Soul Power wouldn't decline to level 19.

As time passed, the slightly chaotic Soul Power in the study finally calmed down.

Yu Xiaogang was finally saved.

Yu Yuanzhen let out a soft sigh, his gaze towards Yu Xiaogang a mixture of relief, disappointment, and a hint of unspoken regret.

Although he was alright, his Soul Power was reduced back to level 19.

Moreover, the backlash from the light and dark Soul Power shook the foundation of his Martial Soul, lowering his Soul Power capacity limit and making him unable to support the power of level 20 anymore.

In other words, without the right opportunity, level 19 will be his final destination...

"Level 19?! How did I regress to level 19?!"

After being rescued, Yu Xiaogang immediately checked his Soul Power and found that it had regressed to level 19. He was completely dejected, as if he had lost his soul.

Yu Yuanzhen reached out and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Xiao Gang, it's okay if you lost your level. At least you're alive, that's the most important thing."

"Dad! That was the level one Soul Power I painstakingly accumulated over almost a year, and now it's all gone! I don't know how long I'll have to endure before I can reach level twenty again."

Yu Xiaogang looked distressed, his tone filled with grievance and resentment.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at him, remained silent for a while, and said, "You will never have the chance to reach level 20 again, because your upper limit is level 19. The backlash of light and darkness has shaken the foundation of your Martial Soul."

"What?!"

Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb. He quickly sat down cross-legged to calm himself and meditate, but he panicked the moment he tried.

His Martial Soul is malfunctioning; he can't absorb any external Soul Power and is completely unable to cultivate!

"Father, I... what should I do? Please save me! I don't want to be stuck at level 19 forever!"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly stood up, grabbed Yu Yuanzhen's arm, and said with a face full of anxiety and pleading.

Yu Yuanzhen shook off his arm and slapped him across the face, coldly saying, "Who told you to absorb that light-attribute Soul Beast in the first place? Now that your Martial Soul is having problems, you're starting to beg me?"

Yu Xiaogang was slapped hard across the face, stumbled, and fell to the ground.

He didn't even bother to get up, his eyes filled with tears as he looked at Yu Yuanzhen: "Father, I'm your own son, please help me, I know you must have a way."

Yu Yuanzhen initially wanted to tell him to leave and get out of the study, but the words softened in his heart. No matter how useless or incompetent Yu Xiaogang was, he was still his own son.

Tears streamed down Yu Xiaogang's face as he continued to plead, "Father, I don't want to be a useless person who can't even break through to the Soul Grandmaster level. You are Titled Douluo, you must have a way to help me break through, please help me."

"Sigh~" Yu Yuanzhen sighed, "You're such a worry, there's probably only one way to help you break through level 20 now."

"Father, what's the solution?"

Yu Xiaogang quickly wiped away his tears and asked anxiously.

He has always been proud and arrogant, and he absolutely cannot accept being stuck at level 19 for his entire life, unable to advance any further.

Hearing that there was a way to break through, his hope was instantly rekindled, as if he had come back to life.

Yu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice, "Spirit Bone."

"Spirit Bone!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.

He had long heard of Spirit Bone, which were rare treasures in the Soul Master World and were also known as the Treasure of the Blood River. Could it be that his father was going to give him one?
