The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family would need him in the future, and he would certainly step up to help.
Since he enjoyed the benefits of the family, he should take responsibility.
Yu Luomian sensed Yu Hong's state and was shocked to discover that Yu Hong was already at level 20.
"You... when did you reach level 20?!" Yu Luomian asked, utterly stunned.
Yesterday, Yu Hong's level was only 11; how could he suddenly be at level 20?
He had seen many geniuses and heard of many more, but none of them had improved by nine levels in a single night like Yu Hong.
Yu Luomian was becoming increasingly convinced that Yu Hong could become a Titled Douluo, and at the same time, he felt his own actions were very wise.
In the future, Yu Hong might have three wives and four concubines?
What did that matter?
He had many wives and plenty of lovers outside, not to mention one-night stands.
Liu Erlong was the result of a one-night stand.
Yu Luomian thought to himself, should he leave more seeds out there?
If they had soul power, he would bring them all back; if they didn't, he would just give them enough money to live on.
Seeing Yu Luomian's shocked expression, Yu Hong smiled and said, "Oh, it's the feedback from my Martial Soul Evolution."
Yu Luomian couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Not bad, not bad. I will arrange for people to take you to hunt soul beasts tomorrow. By the way, what kind of soul beast do you intend to hunt?"
Yu Hong thought for a moment and said, "A light-attribute sub-dragon soul beast."
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian remembered something and said to Yu Hong, "Wait a moment."
He recalled that he had a soul beast map, which was the distribution map of soul beasts in the family's Soul Hunting Forest.
The family updated it once a year to confirm the status of the soul beasts; if any mutated soul beasts appeared, they would be marked on the map.
Soul beasts generally did not leave their territory, though it was hard to say if an accident occurred.
Yu Luomian stood up and walked into the study, returning a moment later with a scroll of sheepskin map.
He spread the map out on the stone table and pointed to several marked points: "This is the soul beast distribution map of our family's Soul Hunting Forest, updated once every year."
Yu Hong leaned in to examine the map carefully.
The map was densely marked with the locations and ages of various soul beasts, with different colored inks used for different attributes.
"You are looking for a light-attribute sub-dragon soul beast, let me see..." Yu Luomian's finger moved across the map, "Here is a 300-year-old Light Scale Lizard, here is a 400-year-old Sun-Shine Dragon Lizard, and here is a 600-year-old Radiant Dragon..."
His finger continued to move, finally stopping at a location in the northeast corner of the map.
"Here, there is a 1,500-year-old Holy Light Sub-Dragon." Yu Luomian looked up at Yu Hong, "However, this soul beast's age is quite high; it might be dangerous for you to absorb it now."
Yu Hong looked at the mark on the map, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
A 1,500-year-old Holy Light Sub-Dragon was exactly what he needed.
"Vice Patriarch, I want to try that 1,500-year-old one," Yu Hong said.
Yu Luomian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "You kid, you really are bold. However, with your current physical fitness and Martial Soul quality, you should be able to withstand it."
He still remembered that 620-year-old soul ring of Yu Hong's; if Yu Hong could absorb this 1,500-year-old soul ring, it would be making history.
Yu Luomian was certain that Yu Hong could become the strongest Titled Douluo in the history of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.
He rolled up the map and handed it to Yu Hong.
"Take this map. Tomorrow, I will have Yu Tieshan lead a team to accompany you to the Soul Hunting Forest."
"Many thanks, Vice Patriarch." Yu Hong took the map and thanked him solemnly.
"What are you thanking me for? We are all family," Yu Luomian waved his hand, "Go, prepare well, and set off early tomorrow morning."
Yu Hong nodded and took his leave.
After returning to his residence, Yu Hong spread out the map and studied it carefully.
That 1,500-year-old Holy Light Sub-Dragon was located in the northeast corner of the Soul Hunting Forest, about a day's journey from the forest entrance.
"Holy Light Sub-Dragon..." Yu Hong muttered to himself, "I hope you don't disappoint me."
He put away the map and began to meditate, preparing for tomorrow's hunt.
Early the next morning, Yu Hong arrived at the family gate.
Yu Tieshan was already waiting there with the soul hunting team.
"Young Master Yu Hong, are you ready?" Yu Tieshan asked.
After the last soul hunting experience, Yu Tieshan's address for Yu Hong had changed from Yu Hong to Young Master Yu Hong.
After all, Yu Hong's Martial Soul was the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and his future achievements would be limitless.
Being polite to him now would make things easier to handle later.
"I'm ready." Yu Hong nodded.
"Then let's set off."
The group left the family estate and headed in the direction of the Soul Hunting Forest.
On the road, Yu Tieshan asked, "Young Master Yu Hong, what kind of soul beast do you intend to hunt this time?"
Yu Hong took a map from his robes, unfolded it, and pointed to a marked spot in the northeast corner. "This one: a 1,500-year-old Holy Light Sub-Dragon."
Yu Tieshan's expression changed instantly.
"1,500 years?!" he exclaimed. "Young Master Yu Hong, this... isn't this too risky?"
The other team members also wore expressions of shock.
A 1,500-year-old soul beast—that was a millennium soul beast!
Even for a level 30 Soul Elder, absorbing a millennium soul ring carried a certain degree of risk.
Yu Hong was only level 20; how could he possibly withstand it?
"Young Master Yu Hong, why not choose a different one?" a team member cautiously suggested. "Aren't there a few other light-attribute sub-dragons on the map with lower ages?"
Yu Hong shook his head. "No need, just this one."
Yu Tieshan fell silent for a moment, recalling the time Yu Hong absorbed the 620-year-old Sun-Day Dragon Lizard soul ring.
Back then, everyone thought Yu Hong wouldn't be able to handle it, yet he succeeded.
Moreover, Yu Hong's martial soul had now evolved into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
The pressure exerted by that white dragon was enough to suppress even the clan leader's martial soul.
Someone possessing such a martial soul might truly be able to withstand the impact of a millennium soul ring.
"Very well," Yu Tieshan finally nodded. "Since Young Master Yu Hong insists, we shall give it a try. However, you must be extremely careful during the absorption. If you feel anything is wrong, stop immediately."
"I understand," Yu Hong said.
The group changed course, heading toward the northeast corner of the Soul Hunting Forest.
It took Yu Hong's party a full day and night to travel from the entrance to the northeast corner.
Along the way, they encountered quite a few soul beasts, but they were all easily dealt with by Yu Tieshan and his men.
By noon the next day, the group finally arrived at their destination.
It was a clearing surrounded by dense trees, with a small lake in the center. The water was crystal clear, shimmering with sparkling light under the sun.
"This is the place." Yu Tieshan looked at the map to confirm the location. "That Holy Light Sub-Dragon should be nearby."
Everyone braced themselves, cautiously searching the surrounding area.
