In fact, as time went on, it wasn't just one parent who allowed their child to absorb Soul Ring that was too old.

Many people lack the ability to discern truth from falsehood. Even the major sects can see that Yu Xiaogang's theories have a lot of flaws, but there are plenty of unruly Soul Master in the Douluo Continent, and many people still blindly believe in his theories.

Many people forcibly absorbed Soul Ring that exceeded their lifespan, resulting in their bodies exploding and dying one after another.

These people's relatives and friends began to verbally attack the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Relying on their numbers, they didn't have much scruples, and these insults quickly reached the ears of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall.

"Huh? A bunch of Soul Master outside are saying that our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan supports fallacies and heresies, and even caused deaths?!"

Yu Yuanzhen was completely bewildered after hearing the whole thing, but he finally understood after asking carefully.

It turns out that Yu Xiaogang wrote an article titled "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul," and many Soul Master tried to absorb high-age Soul Ring according to its theories, resulting in their bodies exploding and their deaths.

Ironically, Yu Xiaogang even cited references from the Spirit Hall and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in his theory.

The blame was pinned on them just like that.

"Damn it! What is Xiao Gang doing?! The maximum absorption age for the First Soul Ring is over seven hundred years, and the maximum absorption age for the Second Soul Ring is over twelve hundred years? Do you think every Soul Master is a peerless genius like your older brother?! Can't you use your pig brain and think about it properly?!"

Yu Yuanzhen's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed his fist on the table in anger; he was truly furious at his stupid son.

Originally, Qian Xunji had already driven Yu Xiaogang out of Spirit City, thinking that he would be more obedient after returning to the sect. However, not only did Yu Xiaogang not return, he also caused a huge mess for the sect.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reputation has been completely ruined by this idiot!

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

Yu Yuanzhen was so angry that his face turned red, his chest heaved violently, and he was panting heavily.

If Yu Xiaogang were standing in front of him right now, Yu Yuanzhen would want to beat him into a cripple.

That's absolutely disgusting.

The sect did nothing wrong, yet its reputation was tarnished for no reason.

"Sect Master, the elders request that you convene a council to discuss how to deal with Yu Xiaogang's matter."

Just then, a direct disciple of the sect rushed into the study.

"I see."

Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, signaling him to step back.

This matter caused quite a stir outside, affecting the sect's reputation, and a meeting to discuss it was inevitable; he had already anticipated this.

Before long, all the high-ranking members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gathered in the main hall of the sect.

"Sect Master! Yu Xiaogang has tarnished the sect's reputation. I propose that he be expelled from the sect immediately, and that we sever all ties with him, declaring that he is not Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Disciple!"

An elder spoke first, his tone resolute.

"I agree! Yu Xiaogang's actions are too absurd. His fabricated theories have caused a great disaster. If the sect does not punish him severely, the consequences will be endless." Another elder seconded.

"Sect Master, we implore you to revoke Yu Xiaogang's sect affiliation. He is unworthy to be Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Disciple!" someone urged.

Yu Yuanzhen rubbed his temples and frowned, saying, "Please calm down."

He had anticipated that Yu Xiaogang's trouble would displease the elders, but he hadn't expected that everyone would be so determined to expel Yu Xiaogang from the sect right away.

Seeing this, the elders said nothing more and simply watched Yu Yuanzhen quietly.

Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Yu Luomian below and said in a deep voice, "Second brother, Xiao Gang has caused a great disaster. In your opinion, how should he be dealt with?"

"This matter is entirely up to my elder brother to decide; I have no other opinion," Yu Luomian declined.

What a joke! This is a hot potato; you absolutely cannot make a statement about it lightly.

"You... that's enough."

Seeing that Yu Luomian was unwilling to get involved, Yu Yuanzhen did not insist. He turned to Yu Mingxiao and asked, "Mingxiao, in your opinion, how should Xiaogang be dealt with?"

Yu Mingxiao said, "Father, please don't make things difficult for me. Xiaogang's fate is not something I can decide alone."

Yu Xiaogang's expulsion from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was almost inevitable. Even if he tried to persuade them to stay, not to mention the elders, the disciples in the sect would not agree to let Yu Xiaogang continue to stay in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Unless he demonstrates his strength and forces the sect members to shut up, but stability maintained by force is only a temporary solution, the sect may still split up.

Yu Yuanzhen sighed deeply, his voice filled with exhaustion. "So be it. Effective immediately, Yu Xiaogang is expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. At the same time, we declare to the public that his Martial Soul Theory have absolutely no relation to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Yes."

The elders nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, disperse." Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand wearily.

The elders took their leave one by one, departing in twos and threes.

"Is Father still worried about Xiao Gang?" Yu Mingxiao asked, not moving, as he looked at Yu Yuanzhen's gloomy face.

"Ugh, that idiot! What's he thinking with that pig brain of his! I can't be bothered with him doing his own random theoretical research in private."

"But he insisted on making that flawed and broken system public! It harmed himself and others, needlessly dragging down the entire sect and ruining the reputation of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Now his wish has been fulfilled; he can forget about ever returning to the sect."

Yu Yuanzhen was seething with anger and kept complaining.

Despite the harsh criticism, as a father, I couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Yu Mingxiao pondered for a moment and said, "Your decision to expel Xiaogang from the sect might actually be a good thing for him. If he dares to return, he will inevitably face the hostility of the entire sect, which is unavoidable unless he can redeem himself and turn his reputation around. But with Xiaogang's abilities, there is practically no hope."

If Yu Xiaogang stays in the sect, it won't actually be a good thing for him.

Yu Mingxiao needs to accumulate Faith Power. The layout of the Sun Moon Continent has already made progress, and the Douluo Continent is also the key to collecting Faith Power in the future. Yu Xiaogang staying in the sect would only be a hindrance.

After all, Yu Xiaogang's presence could easily drag him down, so severing ties with him is crucial.

Moreover, if Yu Xiaogang had stayed in the sect and lived a peaceful life, he wouldn't have fallen on hard times, and naturally wouldn't have gone to Nuoding City, thus avoiding meeting Tang San.

How could he not become Tang San's teacher?

"That's true, I hope he doesn't die out there."

Yu Yuanzhen was completely disillusioned with his useless son. Suppressing his complicated emotions, he said, "Mingxiao, we're leaving for Spirit City tomorrow. Go back and prepare."

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.

Soul Hunting Forest Bala City.

"Luo Luo--"

Luo Sanpao took off after the fleeing wild Wild Spotted Dog Wild Spotted Dog, charging forward and knocking it flying.

Yu Xiaogang quickly caught up, stuck out his rear end, and sprayed a burst of light from his fart, severely injuring the Wild Spotted Dog and rendering it unable to fight.

"Quickly put on this gas mask and kill this century-old Wild Spotted Dog."

Yu Xiaogang handed a gas mask to the middle-aged man, his tone urging him on.

He had no money left ever since he left Spirit City.

He was ambushed by a group of bandits on his way, and they stole his Soul Tool containing money and other valuables, which infuriated him.

With no other option, Yu Xiaogang was too ashamed to go home, so he had to take on missions at the Mercenary Guild in Bala City to support himself.

This was his first time accepting a mission from the Mercenary Guild: to help someone hunt for a hundred-year-old First Soul Ring. He would receive Gold Soul Coin upon completion.

Perhaps it's because Yu Xiaogang's acquired Soul Skill are much stronger than those in the original story. With his current strength, dealing with Soul Beast that are one or two hundred years old is really not a problem.

This guy is disgusting. He actually killed Soul Beast Soul Ring farting. I wonder if the Soul Ring will start to smell bad later... The middle-aged man put on a gas mask with a dark face, walked up to the seriously injured spotted dog, stabbed it in the throat and killed the Soul Beast. He then began to absorb the soul ring, and at the same time secretly made up his mind that he would never hunt Soul Ring from this guy again.

While idly watching the man absorb the Soul Ring, Yu Xiaogang kept pondering his own theory.

The theory has been published for quite some time now, and I'm not sure how it's being heard about in the outside world.

Previously, he had concealed his identity and asked the middle-aged man if he had heard of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul, but to his surprise, the man knew nothing about it, which made Yu Xiaogang feel particularly disappointed.

If he hadn't been waiting to settle his commission, he would have abandoned the other party and run away long ago.

Before long, the middle-aged man absorbed the Wild Spotted Dog's Soul Ring and obtained a Soul Ring that was a little over a hundred years old.

The two left the forest Bala City and returned to the Mercenary Guild to settle their wages.

Yu Xiaogang was eager to learn about the Martial Soul Theory, so he turned around and hurriedly walked out.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into a young man with a long, narrow face and was knocked down.

"Ouch! How do you walk? Can't you see where you're going?" Yu Xiaogang, lying on the ground, looked up and said angrily.

"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going... Hey?" The young man with the long, narrow face paused, staring at him hesitantly, "You... you're that person's brother?"

"That person? Who are you talking about?" Yu Xiaogang asked, stunned.

"I don't know, he never told me his name. But you do look a bit like him, it's just that you're too weak," said the young man with the long, narrow face.

Could he be referring to his eldest brother?

Yu Xiaogang frowned, seething with anger. He groaned as he got up, ignoring the long-faced youth, and turned to leave, muttering, "Crazy."

Soul Master have extremely keen hearing, and the shoehorn-faced youth, Flender, heard it clearly. He shook his head helplessly and turned away.

One day later.

Yu Xiaogang somehow found out the outside world's evaluation of his Martial Soul Theory, and for a moment he felt as if the sky had fallen.

All the Soul Master rejected his theory, and many even threatened to catch Yu Xiaogang and settle accounts.

He was so frightened that he quickly put on a gas mask, afraid of being recognized.

"Damn it! These mortals don't understand my theories at all. How could they possibly use my theories? They understand nothing!"

Yu Xiaogang retreated to his rented room, stomping his feet in anger.

After being angry for half a day, he immediately deflated.

"I failed again. I originally wanted to prove myself before returning to the sect, but plans can't keep up with changes, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to the sect."

The outcry from the outside world meant that no one could understand his supposedly invincible theory.

With only one day left until the Sect Re-election Grand Competition, various forces arrived in Spirit City early to settle in.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and their group were invited into the Martial Soul Grand Hotel in Spirit City.

For this competition, only three core members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were present: Yu Mingxiao, Yu Yuanzhen, and Yu Luomian.

Yu Yuanzhen is a Level 95 Super Douluo, and he's almost at level 96. Yu Luomian has also entered the ranks of level 91 Titled Douluo.

In fact, with Yu Luomian's Talent, he would have had almost no chance of reaching the Titled Douluo realm through normal hard work. It was only thanks to Yu Yuanzhen's guidance that he was able to condense a Soul Core, successfully break through Level 90, absorb a Soul Ring, and become a Titled Douluo.

The three were discussing matters in the hotel lobby.

Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen's revelation of Yu Mingxiao's strength, Yu Luomian was incredulous, followed by a surge of ecstatic joy.

"Brother, with Mingxiao's strength, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has a chance to become the number one sect in the world and fulfill the lifelong wish of all our Sect Master!"

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile, "Second brother, you and I are thinking the same thing. Mingxiao said that even Tang Chen was defeated by him on Sea God Island. Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is basically guaranteed to become the number one sect in the world."

Although he felt a little embarrassed about winning the title of the number one sect in the world through his child, he was genuinely proud of Yu Mingxiao.

Yu Mingxiao remained silent throughout, not really caring about the empty title of the number one sect in the world.

"Sect Master, the Pope of the Spirit Hall has come to visit."

Just then, a direct disciple of the sect came to report.

"Qian Xunji is here?" Yu Yuanzhen quickly stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."

The other two nodded and went outside together.

"Sect Master Yu, please forgive my intrusion," Qian Xunji said, bowing slightly.

He was quite polite to the strong, especially since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had produced a Level 99 expert with the potential to become a god, so he deliberately lowered his stance.

"Your Pope is too kind. May I ask what brings you here?" Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but ask.

Qian Xun said Qian Xunji, "Sect Master Yu, your second son has been implicated in the Spirit Hall, so I had no choice but to step in and clarify things, saying a few bad things about him to distance myself from him."

"This..." Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened, and he said in a muffled voice, "Fine, it was indeed Xiaogang who made a mistake."

Qian Xunji nodded with a smile. He was also dumbfounded when he was suddenly framed. He did not expect that a kid in his early twenties would have the power to affect the reputation of the Spirit Hall.

"Sect Master Yu, and Young Sect Master, our Spirit Hall would like to invite you both to serve as judges for this competition. You do not need to participate in the competition."

Qian Xunji the subject and got down to business.

"Judges?" Yu Yuanzhen wondered to himself, guessing that the Spirit Hall probably made this arrangement because they saw that Mingxiao was too strong.

It makes sense, considering he's already a Level 99 top-tier expert, why would he need to compete?

The Spirit Hall didn't have the power to force him to participate.

"What do you two think? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is still one of the Upper Three Sects. As long as Tang Chen is willing to back down, it won't be a problem for them to become the number one sect on the continent." Qian Xunji looked at the two of them.

"Mingxiao, what do you think?" Yu Yuanzhen looked at his eldest son beside him, knowing that the Spirit Hall had extended this invitation entirely because of him.

"I don't care," Yu Mingxiao said.

Yu Yuanzhen said, "Alright, then my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will serve as a judge for the competition."

"Then it's a deal. I'll be waiting for you both." Qian Xunji laughed and turned to leave.
