Yu Xiaogang: This Spirit Beast's Condition Is Off, but That Doesn't Affect My Absorption of Its Soul Ring!

Ten days later.

The three of them finally arrived at Sunset Forest.

This time, they did not linger in the outskirts. Instead, they headed straight for the core region.

That was because the three types of Radiant Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts Yu Changge had listed, which had a high chance of granting him a "pure enhancement" Soul Skill, all lived near the core region, even though he only needed one around two thousand years old.

And if he remembered correctly, the valley before the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was also located in the core region.

The core region was not particularly large. As long as he paid a little attention while searching for Spirit Beasts, the chances of finding it would be very high.

While Yu Changge's group searched for Spirit Beasts, on the other side, in the central area between the outskirts and the Mixed Zone of Star Dou Forest—

"Second Uncle, we've been in here for over half a month already, but we still haven't found a Lightning Attribute Sub-Dragon suitable for me. How about... finding a substitute?" Yu Xiaogang panted, clearly growing impatient.

Yu Luomian frowned beside him. "That won't do. You're Big Brother's son. Although your Martial Soul isn't a dragon, it would naturally be best if you could obtain a Sub-Dragon Soul Ring."

"Even Soul Rings that are both six hundred years old can grant vastly different Soul Skills depending on the Spirit Beast."

Although Yu Luomian himself wanted to just catch any random one and be done with it, he was afraid he would have a hard time explaining things to his eldest brother after returning.

Deep down, he felt that letting that Piglet Martial Soul absorb the Soul Ring of a Sub-Dragon Spirit Beast was an utter waste.

Moreover, he was somewhat worried whether Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul could withstand the pressure brought by a Sub-Dragon Soul Ring.

Their goal this time was clear: find an offensive skill for Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul. The Piglet Martial Soul was obviously unsuitable for Thunder Dragon Claw, so they planned to choose a Spirit Beast that had a high chance of granting a Breath Soul Skill.

While searching for Spirit Beasts, Yu Xiaogang could not help debating with Yu Luomian about the theoretical knowledge he had learned at the academy.

Things like how the most suitable Soul Ring was best, rather than insisting on a Sub-Dragon Soul Ring.

"Are you sure? Then how about I find you a Lightning Attribute pig-type Spirit Beast?" Yu Luomian teased.

Yu Xiaogang's expression stiffened. "...Second Uncle, forget it. My Martial Soul has dragon veins in it, after all. How could I really find a pig?"

Yu Luomian sighed. "When I actually offer to find one for you, you don't want it. Then what was the point of saying all that?"

Yu Xiaogang: ...Could he say that he merely wanted to show off the theories he had learned?

He had endured the ridicule of those people in the family for so long. Now that he had finally reached Level Ten and could obtain his First Soul Ring, how could he not be excited?

Yu Xiaogang secretly thought, Once my Martial Soul gains a powerful Soul Skill this time, I'll definitely go back and slap their faces hard!

Yu Changge had gone to Spirit Hall. He probably had not even reached Level Ten yet.

Yu Xiaogang believed that Yu Changge had gone to Spirit Hall only to live under someone else's roof. Spirit Hall could not possibly provide him with as many resources as the family did—at the very least, it could not compare to what Yu Xiaogang received.

He had broken through to Level Ten in just around four years not only because of all kinds of medicinal baths and his meditation cultivation, but also because of Mimicry Cultivation!

With his talent, he actually did not qualify to use a Mimicry Cultivation Ground. There were two requirements for access to such a resource.

First, your talent had to be decent.

Second, your Soul Power Level had to reach Soul Grandmaster.

Only by meeting both requirements could one use the Mimicry Cultivation Ground arranged by the family.

If one did not meet them, then one could only search for a natural mimicry site to cultivate in.

However, those considered geniuses, such as those with Innate Soul Power of Level Seven or above, could use one from the start.

For example, Yu Xiaogang's eldest brother, Yu Xiaogan, had qualified to use a Mimicry Cultivation Ground early.

But there were exceptions to everything, and Yu Xiaogang was one of them.

Although he had not met the requirements, he was Yu Yuanzhen's youngest son. Yu Yuanzhen had let Yu Xiaogang cultivate in his own Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

After all, he was already a Title Douluo, so the Mimicry Cultivation Ground did not have much effect on him anymore.

That was why Yu Xiaogang's cultivation speed had increased by another notch afterward.

Yu Xiaogang believed that Yu Changge, having gone to Spirit Hall, had no Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

What he did not know was that Yu Yuanzhen had long mentioned in his letter to Qian Xunji that he hoped Yu Changge could be provided with a Mimicry Cultivation Ground.

It was also a way of fulfilling his promise and ensuring Yu Changge's cultivation resources were equal to Yu Xiaogang's.

Just then, Yu Luomian suddenly heard a low dragon roar.

"Stop. There's something ahead." Yu Luomian waved his hand, signaling the two Soul Emperors beside him to protect Yu Xiaogang while he slowly stepped forward to investigate.

After advancing some distance, they discovered two Lightning Attribute Sub-Dragon Spirit Beasts ahead of them.

One of them was half a meter long, with a round, bloated body covered in grayish-purple dragon scales. Its belly was swollen like a ball, faint chaotic lightning patterns ran along its spine, its limbs were short and weak, and it had no sharp dragon claws.

The other was slightly larger.

One of the Soul Emperors let out a sigh of relief. "Great, we finally found a Lightning Attribute Sub-Dragon species. But... this Spirit Beast looks a little weak."

Yu Luomian nodded. "Mm. If I remember correctly, this should be a Void Thunder Gas-Swelling Dragon. Its defining trait is attacking with gas stored in its belly. It's a relatively weak low-rank Sub-Dragon."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up as well. "Then doesn't that make this Spirit Beast perfect for me? Doesn't my First Soul Skill need Breath? Although this Spirit Beast is a little weak, being able to provide a suitable Soul Skill is what matters most."

"If it were a Spirit Beast with a higher bloodline, I would probably have to lower the age limit before I could absorb it. But this smaller one happens to have a cultivation of six hundred years."

Yu Luomian frowned. "That's true, but are you sure? This Spirit Beast's condition seems off. How about we find another one?"

Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "Second Uncle, let's go with this one. Whatever condition it's in doesn't affect my absorption of its Soul Ring."

Seeing this, Yu Luomian nodded as well. "Then we'll do it this way."

He then signaled to the two Soul Emperors beside him. They each stepped forward, driving away the larger one and leaving the smaller one severely wounded.

Yu Xiaogang took out a sharp dagger and thrust it down.

At that moment, he was already imagining the powerful Soul Skill he would gain after absorbing the Spirit Beast's Soul Ring!

But he failed to notice that when this Spirit Beast faced the Soul Emperors' attacks, it had barely any strength to resist. It could not even use Breath, while its belly kept gurgling and foul gas continuously sprayed from its anus.
