Yu Xiaogang's Rage

"It's just daily training, nothing special," Yu Hong said.

Yu Tieshan glanced at him, realizing he didn't want to say more, so he didn't press the matter.

Everyone has their own secrets; there was no need for him to get to the bottom of it.

By dusk, the group had returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.

Yu Tieshan took Yu Hong to report back to Yu Luomian.

Yu Luomian was in his study handling affairs; upon hearing Yu Tieshan's report, the pen in his hand dropped directly onto the desk.

"What did you say? A six-hundred-and-twenty-year spirit ring?" Yu Luomian stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.

"Yes, Vice Patriarch," Yu Tieshan nodded. "We saw it with our own eyes. Yu Hong absorbed a six-hundred-and-twenty-year Sun-Day Dragon Lizard spirit ring, and he succeeded."

Yu Luomian walked quickly to Yu Hong and looked him up and down.

Yu Luomian took a deep breath, his eyes filled with shock and joy.

"Good! Very good!" He patted Yu Hong on the shoulder and laughed heartily. "Yu Hong, you truly didn't disappoint me! A six-hundred-year spirit ring—you actually succeeded in absorbing it!"

Yu Hong smiled slightly. "Thank you for your cultivation, Vice Patriarch."

"What level are you now?" Yu Luomian asked.

"Level 11."

Yu Luomian was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Absorbing a six-hundred-year spirit ring and only increasing by one level meant that Yu Hong's martial soul had absorbed the vast majority of the spirit power.

This actually fit the characteristics of that "Jade Egg"; after all, it looked like something that needed constant feeding.

"Level 11 is not bad either," Yu Luomian said. "Keep working hard. I believe you will definitely win the competition in two years."

"Rest assured, Vice Patriarch."

Yu Luomian waved his hand, letting Yu Hong go back to rest first.

After Yu Hong left, Yu Luomian looked at Yu Tieshan. "What do you think about this matter?"

Yu Tieshan pondered for a moment and said, "Vice Patriarch, this child, Yu Hong, is definitely not simple. His physical fitness far exceeds his peers, and he is even stronger than many adult spirit masters. Moreover, his temperament is very steady; he wasn't the least bit flustered when absorbing the spirit ring."

"I know," Yu Luomian nodded. "That's why I've always favored him."

He walked to the window, looking at the darkening sky outside, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Big Brother, you are going to be disappointed this time."

Yu Hong returned to his small courtyard alone, closed the gate, and only then released his martial soul.

That familiar white stone egg appeared in the palm of his hand.

But this time, Yu Hong discovered something unusual about the White Stone of the Ancients.

Cracks had appeared on the surface of the White Stone of the Ancients, though they were not very obvious.

So there really is a change. A flash of joy crossed Yu Hong's eyes.

He sensed it carefully and found that something seemed to be slowly surging inside the White Stone of the Ancients, like a dormant life slowly waking up.

"It seems the Sun-Day Dragon Lizard spirit ring was indeed useful to you," Yu Hong muttered to himself.

He put away his martial soul and began to try using his newly acquired spirit skill.

Burst Stream of Destruction.

Yu Hong closed his eyes, sensing the new power within his body.

Spirit power surged, and a scorching energy gathered inside him.

But when he tried to release this energy, he found that he couldn't succeed at all.

As expected. Yu Hong opened his eyes, not surprised.

The activation condition for Burst Stream of Destruction was the presence of Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the field.

And his current martial soul was still the White Stone of the Ancients, not Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

In other words, this spirit skill could not be used for the time being.

Once the White Stone of the Ancients evolves into Blue-Eyes White Dragon, this spirit skill will naturally be usable, Yu Hong thought. Before that, I can only rely on my own strength to fight.

However, this wasn't a big problem.

He hadn't counted on winning by spirit skills anyway; his real trump card was his body, which had been strengthened by Whale Rubber.

News traveled fast.

After the members of the spirit-hunting team returned to the family, the news of Yu Hong absorbing a six-hundred-year spirit ring spread through the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family as if it had grown wings.

"Did you hear? That kid Yu Hong absorbed a six-hundred-year spirit beast ring!"

"What? Six hundred years? He's only level 10, how is that possible?"

"It's absolutely true! The people from the spirit-hunting team saw it with their own eyes. It was a Sun-Day Dragon Lizard, six hundred and twenty years!"

"My god, isn't this too exaggerated?"

"And he actually succeeded! He's already an 11th-level Spirit Master!"

"This... this is simply a genius!"

In an instant, the entire clan was buzzing with this news.

Some were shocked, some were envious, and some simply couldn't believe it.

But regardless, the name Yu Hong resonated throughout the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan on this day.

The child who was once mocked as trash had now accomplished what many geniuses could not.

A soul ring over six hundred years old, successfully absorbed at level 10!

What kind of concept was this?

It meant that Yu Hong's physical constitution and talent far exceeded everyone's imagination!

Many who had originally looked down on Yu Hong now kept their mouths shut.

And those who had once mocked him wished they could crawl into a hole in the ground.

You must know, even for the most talented disciples in the clan, the first soul ring they dared to attempt was at most around four hundred years.

Six hundred years?

That was something they wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"This kid is really hiding his true strength."

"Who's to say otherwise? People used to mock him as trash, but look now—who is the real trash?"

"Heh, speaking of trash, isn't Yu Xiaogang only level 9 right now?"

"Exactly, he's been left two levels behind by Yu Hong. This is going to be a good show."

The discussions within the clan rose and fell, with most people marveling at Yu Hong's astonishing performance.

Of course, there were also those who gloated, waiting to see Yu Xiaogang make a fool of himself.

After all, four years ago, Yu Xiaogang had publicly mocked Yu Hong as trash.

In Yu Xiaogang's courtyard.

"Bang!"

A vase was smashed fiercely against the ground, shattering into countless pieces.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was twisted in a savage expression, acting like a madman as he grabbed whatever was on the table and hurled it to the floor.

Teacups, inkstones, books...

Everything he could get his hands on was smashed to smithereens.

"How could that trash break through to level 10 before me?!"

"How could he possibly absorb a six-hundred-year soul ring?!"

"It's impossible! It must be fake! Someone must be lying to me!"

Yu Xiaogang roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot.

Four years ago, he and Yu Hong had awakened their martial spirits at the same time, both with an Innate Soul Power of 0.5.

Back then, he had mocked Yu Hong as trash, convinced he would easily crush him.

But now?

Four years had passed; he was only level 9, while Yu Hong was already level 11!

A full two-level gap!

And Yu Hong had absorbed a soul ring of over six hundred years—what did that mean?

It meant Yu Hong's physical constitution far surpassed that of an ordinary person, and it meant Yu Hong's potential was far greater than he had ever imagined!
