Thunder Canyon, Thunder-Patterned Flying Flood Dragon!

"Xiao Gan, how's your cultivation going?" Yu Yuanzhen looked at his eldest son, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Father, I have already reached the peak of level thirty-eight," Yu Xiaogan said after a moment of thought. "Give me another six months, or at most eight months, and I will have a chance to break through to level forty."

"Okay," Yu Yuanzhen laughed happily, "I don't know whether you or your brother will break through first, but your progress is about the same anyway. Let's go hunt soul beasts together in the Star Dou Forest then."

The reason why Yu Xiaogan could have such an amazing cultivation speed despite having less than eight levels of Innate Soul Power is actually due to two reasons.

First, he was well aware that his younger brother, Yu Xiaogang, was already crippled, and his grandfather was nearing the end of his life. As the eldest grandson, he had to grow up as soon as possible and take on the responsibility of leading the family.

This is his inescapable responsibility as the Young Clan Head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and it is also the driving force behind his desire to do everything in his power to meet his father's earnest expectations.

Therefore, even though he had already firmly become the Young Clan Head, and Yu Xiaogang was completely powerless to compete with him in any aspect, he dared not slack off in his cultivation for a moment.

Secondly, consuming high-quality Whale Rubber promotes the accumulation of his Soul Power, and the higher the quality and the longer the age, the more obvious the effect.

As the undisputed Young Clan Head of the family, he naturally had access to the most top-tier cultivation resources.

It was precisely because long-term consumption of Whale Rubber greatly improved his physique that the absorption period for his Third Soul Ring was also significantly increased.

The immense energy of the Soul Ring even added more than one level to his Soul Power.

Yu Xiaogan was genuinely grateful to Yu Changge, who was studying in Spirit City, for this tangible benefit.

So sometimes, he also sided with his father Yu Yuanzhen, and often patiently persuaded Yu Xiaogang at home to humble himself and learn theory from Yu Changge.

This, in turn, made the proud and arrogant Yu Xiaogang extremely annoyed with his elder brother, and the relationship between the two brothers became increasingly distant.

Three days later, at the edge of the dense forest on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest.

Because they had Gui Mei, a top-tier agility- Titled Douluo, leading the way, their journey to the Star Dou Forest didn't take long.

"Tianqing, Shu Yao," Yue Guan stopped and looked at the two energetic people in front of him, saying softly, "Both of you have the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon as your Martial Soul, so you're definitely going to hunt down Lightning Attribute soul beasts with Dragon Bloodline."

"This time, Old Ghost and I are just here to assist you. As for how to search the forest, as members of the Blue Lightning Family, you should know which areas of Star Dou Forest have a higher chance of having these kinds of soul beasts, right?"

After spending three short days together, Yue Guan and Gui Mei Yu Tianqing and the others, and the initial awkwardness between them had lessened.

After all, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had already made these three call him "Big Brother," so it would seem more intimate and natural for them to address Tian Qing and Shu Yao by their names.

Yu Tianqing nodded seriously. "Yes, we roughly know which area in this Star Dou Forest has a higher chance of encountering high-age compatible soul beasts."

"That's good," Gui Mei voice asked in a low, hoarse tone. "So, you should have some ideas about the age limit of this eighth Soul Ring and the type of Soul Skill you want, right?"

As they chatted casually, they released their senses to keep a watchful eye on their surroundings, quickly traversing the dense forest in the direction Yu Tianqing pointed.

Yu Tianqing pushed aside the thick vines blocking his path, he said, "Regarding the age limit of this Eighth Soul Skill, Shu Yao and I are both planning to try our best to challenge our own limits and obtain around 70,000 years, or even 80,000 years."

"My intention for this Eighth Soul Skill is to obtain a large-scale group attack skill."

Yu Shuyao chimed in, "My thoughts are the same as Tian Qing's. For our ninth Soul Skill, we plan to obtain a single-target attack Soul Skill with absolute destructive power."

Hearing this reasonable plan, Yue Guan, who was walking in front, nodded silently in agreement.

As the strongest trump card of Soul Master, the Ninth Soul Skill is indeed much better at single-target burst damage than area-of-effect damage.

Because in a true life-or-death battlefield, when Soul Master is fighting against a top-tier enemy of equal or greater strength.

Single-target attacks are generally more lethal than AoE Soul Skill.

The reason why Yue Guan's actual combat effectiveness doesn't seem very strong is partly because his ninth Soul Skill is a large-scale group attack.

This is indeed useful when facing a large number of mobs, but when dealing with highly skilled opponents with extremely high single-target defense or explosive power, its single-target damage is somewhat insufficient.

Then, they spent two days in the forest and finally arrived at a place deep in the Star Dou Forest where lightning elements were highly concentrated.

This area is shrouded in thick, dark clouds year-round, and violent Thunder strikes the sky from time to time. Yu Tianqing calls it Thunder Canyon.

During these two days, they also encountered some short-tempered Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

However, those probing attacks posed no real danger to them.

"We've arrived," Yu Tianqing said calmly, looking up at the massive canyon surrounded by lightning. "This is the outermost edge of Thunder Canyon."

"This place is home to a considerable number of high-level Lightning Attribute soul beasts year-round, and the chances of finding the sub -Sub-Dragon species with the Dragon Clan bloodlines that we need here are much greater than outside."

Yu Ming also solemnly reminded everyone, "From this moment on, we must be extra careful. No one should be careless."

"The high-level soul beasts here are all overlords with a strong sense of territory. When we search, we should try to avoid conflict with them to prevent attracting a beast tide."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, two experienced Titled Douluo, nodded in deep agreement, while simultaneously spreading their spiritual power outwards as a precaution.

Then, they searched deeper into the canyon.

Two days later, on a high ground within the canyon where lightning flashed, they looked down and discovered a nest inhabited by three enormous Lightning Attribute flying dragons.

Yu Changge carefully observed the physical characteristics of the three soul beasts from behind a huge rock, and his face immediately lit up with joy.
