Uncle Sha Isn't Foolish

Could this secondary mutation and evolution of the martial soul be popularized?

If it were possible, could Xiaogang's own martial soul also be improved?

As soon as this thought surfaced, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, lamenting that he was truly overthinking things.

Xiaogang was already over thirty; if his martial soul could have undergone a secondary mutation and evolution, the change would have come long ago. How could it possibly have waited until now?

It stood to reason that Tianjue's martial soul was simply different from Xiaogang's, which was why this accidental secondary mutation and evolution had occurred.

"Father."

Yu Xiaogang remained silent for a long time before finally forcing himself to speak: "Father, I have delved into martial soul research for many years and have mastered a complete set of theories. Let me take Tianjue away. If I can uncover the mystery behind Tianjue's secondary martial soul evolution, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will be able to stand firm on the continent, and perhaps even reach the position of the head of the Upper Three Sects!"

"I will definitely be able to cultivate Tianjue into an exceptionally outstanding spirit master!"

Hearing this, Yu Tianjue curled his lip, feeling not the slightest bit of panic.

Yu Xiaogang might be oblivious, but his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, was the sect master—a man among men, a master of schemes. If he were just a waste martial soul like Yu Xiaogang, letting him be taken away might be fine; but now that he had displayed his talent, if Yu Yuanzhen still allowed Yu Xiaogang to take him away...

Then I, Yu Tianjue, will take his surname!

Sure enough, the next second, the corners of Yu Yuanzhen's mouth twitched twice.

Outsiders might not know where Yu Xiaogang's martial soul research theories came from, but how could he, as a father, not know?

His so-called research theories were, in fact, mostly common knowledge that various sects and clans had accumulated over many years. At most, Yu Xiaogang's research merely added a few of his own insights on top of that foundation.

It might be enough to fool those civilian spirit masters or those without the heritage of a great clan...

Yu Yuanzhen sighed softly, but then spoke in an uncompromising tone: "Do not mention this matter again. Since Tianjue's martial soul has mutated and evolved, and his spirit power has increased significantly, he must naturally remain in the clan to be cultivated by us."

"Moreover, the spirit beasts required for an ice-attribute martial soul can only be found in the Frozen Forest and the Far North. Only the clan can dispatch enough experts to hunt for spirit rings in such desolate and dangerous lands for Tianjue."

"But..."

Yu Xiaogang raised his head, unwilling to give up, seemingly wanting to say more, but Yu Yuanzhen no longer looked at him, turning his gaze toward the door instead.

"Tianheng is back."

"Grandfather, I've brought the crystal ball back!"

Yu Tianheng ran into the room excitedly, completely oblivious to Yu Xiaogang's somewhat unsightly expression, and handed the crystal ball directly to Yu Tianjue.

"Brother Jue, come and test your spirit power quickly!"

As he spoke, a look of anticipation appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes.

As Yu Tianjue's nominal twin brother, Yu Tianheng didn't know why his brother's martial soul had evolved, but he couldn't be happier about it.

He was genuinely delighted for Yu Tianjue from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Tianjue glanced at Yu Yuanzhen, took a deep breath, and placed his palm on the crystal ball.

The moment his palm touched the surface, the crystal ball suddenly erupted with a brilliant radiance that spread rapidly, illuminating the entire room!

Yu Xiaogang stood frozen in place, while Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but take a step forward, visibly moved.

"This is... level ten spirit power!"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Tianjue in disbelief, a trace of pain flashing deep in his eyes.

In other words, after the secondary mutation and evolution of his martial soul, Yu Tianjue had become a genius with innate full spirit power!

"Good! Good! Good! I knew it, my, Yu Yuanzhen's, grandson could never be just a mutated waste martial soul with innate level one spirit power!"

Yu Yuanzhen clapped his hands and laughed, his expression softening visibly.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression became even more bitter.

Your grandson could never be a mutated waste martial soul with innate level one spirit power, yet your son is exactly that kind of waste!

At the same time, Yu Xiaogang knew clearly that he would never again have the chance to take Yu Tianjue away from the clan.

The clan would never allow a waste like him to take away a top-tier genius with innate full spirit power.

As for the method of secondary martial soul mutation and evolution that he longed for... he would likely never be able to obtain it.

Yu Tianjue, for his part, was not surprised.

After all, Xiao Hei now possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute; the evolution of the martial soul drove the increase in spirit power, and Ultimate Ice naturally corresponded to innate full spirit power.

Yu Yuanzhen frowned and pondered for a moment before making the final decision: "Tomorrow, I will personally take you to the Far North to hunt for your first spirit ring!"

One had to know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect hadn't produced a genius with innate full spirit power in a long time. He truly didn't feel at ease letting other elders take Tianjue to hunt for a spirit ring, especially in a dangerous place like the Far North.

Only by taking Tianjue himself could he be at peace.

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen was confident that he could help Tianjue hunt for the most suitable spirit ring, whether in terms of the ring's age or the species of the spirit beast.

A genius with innate full spirit power in their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect deserved the best spirit rings and the most excellent cultivation resources!

"Damn it! Brother Jue, you're actually going to become a spirit master before me. It looks like I have to work twice as hard! As your brother, I don't want to be left too far behind by you!"

Yu Tianheng shook his fist at Yu Tianjue, full of drive.

Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen nodded with satisfaction.

Tianjue's martial soul mutation had granted him innate full spirit power, finally giving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect a genius capable of leading the clan to its peak, while also stimulating Tianheng to cultivate even harder—it was truly killing two birds with one stone!

Yu Yuanzhen was overjoyed, but when his gaze fell upon the somewhat dejected Yu Xiaogang, he could not help but let out a soft, internal sigh.

If Tian Jue had awakened with innate full spirit power during the initial spirit awakening ceremony, Xiaogang might not have been so devastated. Yet, Tian Jue had instead awakened a mutated, trash spirit with only innate level one spirit power—Xiaogang had thought he had found a kindred spirit, but the events that followed were enough to break his heart.

Sigh... it can only be said that fate plays cruel tricks.

He hoped that after leaving the clan, Xiaogang would be able to pull himself together.

Yu Yuanzhen forced himself to look away from Yu Xiaogang's rigid face and instructed, "Rest well tonight. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to the Far North to hunt for your first spirit ring."

"As for you, Tianheng, practice diligently and strive to break through to level ten as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will personally take you to the Star Dou Forest to obtain your spirit ring."
