He looked at his mother and asked back helplessly, "Mom, think carefully. Have you ever seen Yu Xiaogang release his Martial Soul?"
Yu Shuyao was stunned, then shook her head.
In the original work, Yu Xiaogang felt that his Martial Soul was disgraceful, and unless combat was absolutely necessary, he would never release Luo Sanpao.
Even if it was released, what he fed Luo Sanpao was not high-energy Spirit Beast meat, but cheap white radishes!
And that was just to force out farts!
If it weren't for forcing out farts, he probably wouldn't even feed it white radishes!
He truly raised his own Martial Soul like a vegetarian pig!
At least make Luo Sanpao try eating meat? But judging by Yu Xiaogang's appearance, he clearly had never tried.
If he isn't trash, then who is?
To be honest, even pigs raised by ordinary families for the New Year probably ate much better than Luo Sanpao.
After the joy subsided, Yu Tianqing and Yu Shuyao both grew a bit worried, and Yu Tianqing said, "Son, don't rush. After all, your Martial Soul has never been seen before, so the choice of your first soul ring must be cautious."
"After all, your Martial Soul is not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, so perhaps it doesn't have to rigidly absorb Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul."
Yet Yu Shuyao held a different opinion on this, glaring at Yu Tianqing. "Didn't you hear our son say that Xiao Huang eating sub-dragon meat can accelerate his cultivation speed? That shows sub-dragon species are useful to Xiao Huang himself. Do you still want our son to go absorb soul rings of other types?"
Yu Tianqing reacted, scratching his head. "Ahem, I was too happy and didn't process it for a moment."
"Then it's decided to absorb a Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast. However, the most crucial thing right now is still to determine what attribute Xiao Huang has, otherwise it will easily cause conflicts."
To be honest, wanting to determine what attribute Xiao Huang's Martial Soul was... was still a bit difficult, since the characteristics weren't that obvious.
Yu Changged's Martial Soul had the appearance of a pig, and was purple-skinned.
Before adding a soul ring, it possessed no offensive power whatsoever.
None of its attributes were revealed, unlike the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, which had a very obvious lightning attribute, or other mutated dragon Martial Souls, such as the Fire Dragon Spirit, which had a very obvious fire attribute.
One could not simply assume that Xiao Huang possessed the lightning attribute just because he mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
After all, there were quite a few people in the clan whose parents possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, yet the offspring's Martial Soul attributes changed.
This had a bit to do with the genetics of Martial Souls; the offspring's Martial Soul had a high probability of being inherited from the parents, but it was only a high probability.
After all, the bloodlines of parents also contained the bloodlines of their own parents, meaning there was a very small probability that they might inherit the grandfather's generation's Martial Soul.
This kind of situation had happened before.
Yu Tianqing thought for a moment. "You guys wait here for me a moment, I'll go find Elder Yu."
A moment later, Yu Tianqing brought Elder Yu over.
Yu Ming looked at Yu Changge, his gaze also extremely complicated, as he already knew the ins and outs of the matter.
At this moment, he thought of something Yu Xiaogang had said to him a year ago.
Yu Xiaogang said that there were no trash Martial Souls, only trash soul masters.
And this was what he had said to Yu Changge: a trash Martial Soul was ultimately a trash Martial Soul, and one that could grow merely meant that this Martial Soul was only artificially defined as a trash Martial Soul, but fundamentally, it was not trash!
Yet he never expected that the boomerang would now strike him, and his own disciple's Martial Soul was truly not a trash Martial Soul.
On the way over, he was also pondering how to choose the most suitable first soul ring for Xiao Huang.
"Heh." Elder Yu smiled approvingly. "Not bad, kid. You've truly exceeded my expectations."
Yu Changge gave a cheeky laugh. "Pure luck, pure luck. Teacher, my luck is relatively good."
His luck was indeed relatively good, starting out with three Hextech augments. Although two of them were for the late game, [Level Up] had also given him quite a bit of help, additionally granting him five levels of soul power!
Immediately following that, Elder Yu said, "First of all, there is no need to doubt that your Xiao Huang definitely possesses the lightning attribute within his body. After all, both of your parents are Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul holders, and your ancestors' Martial Souls were all dragons."
"So even though your Xiao Huang looks like a pig, he must also contain dragon bloodline within his body, and the point of absorbing a sub-dragon-class soul ring is correct."
"Of course, what I just said is also a bit absolute. Whether we can know if your Xiao Huang possesses the lightning attribute, or even other attributes, still needs to be verified."
Upon hearing this, Yu Changge was also somewhat curious. "Teacher, how should we verify it?"
Yu Changge knew that Xiao Huang should possess three attributes: the light main attribute, with lightning and fire as sub-attributes.
Yet Xiao Huang himself wasn't very good at displaying them.
Originally, he was still a bit worried about how to tell his parents to have them search for a Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast with both light and lightning attributes for him.
Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts were already relatively rare to begin with, let alone ones possessing dual attributes.
If he truly couldn't find one, he would only have to settle for the next best thing and search for a Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast with the light attribute.
Elder Yu was seen taking out several types of soul stock from his own person.
These were the Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast meats he had gone to get from the back kitchen halfway on his way over.
"These are all Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast meats: there is the lightning-attribute Thunder-Roar Dragon Lizard, the fire-attribute Crimson Flame Snake, the wind-attribute Gale Pterosaur, and the light-attribute Radiant Earth Dragon, several kinds of meat."
"You release your Xiao Huang and see which kind of meat he is most interested in. This can actually corroborate from the side what kind of attributes your Xiao Huang possesses."
"In addition to that, you can also have soul masters of the corresponding attributes attack your Xiao Huang and see how his resistance to these attribute soul skills is. The ones he has resistance to indicate that he possesses that attribute."
"We'll use the first method to make a simple preliminary screening first; the important one is the second method."
Yu Changge was a bit doubtful. Could this method be useful?
He indeed knew that soul masters consuming soul beast meat of the same attribute would yield greater benefits for themselves.
For example, if your Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and what you usually ate was soul beast meat containing the lightning attribute, your recovery would be much better than those with other attributes.
However useful it was, it happened to give Yu Changge an excuse, allowing him to directly order Luo Sanpao to choose what type of soul beast meat they would eat!
Of course, at first he would definitely still let Xiao Huang try it out himself without interfering right away.
As for the second method, as long as it wasn't a negative effect like poison, Luo Sanpao taking beatings and sustaining damage would not cause damage to him as the soul master.
Elder Yu sighed and said, "Actually, even so, it's still impossible to determine Xiao Huang's specific attributes with one hundred percent certainty, but there are currently no other better methods."
