How Many Resources Did Yu Xiaogang Consume to Cultivate from Innate Half-Rank to Rank Twenty-Nine?
[Not Little Witch: Pass the popcorn!] [Xiao Wu: Pass the popcorn +1] [A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: +1] [World's Greatest Poison: What does "pass the popcorn" mean?] [Shadow Cat: Don't worry about that. Just eat first and ask questions later—pass the popcorn!] [Motherless Since Childhood: Pass the popcorn!] [Waiting for One Person for Life: Hmph, just wait! Xiaogang's knowledge will definitely shock all of you!] [Bibi Dong: Pass the popcorn!]
Bibi Dong's expression was somewhat complicated. She wanted to know Yu Xiaogang's story, yet she also did not want to know.
Her clear-headed, rational self had already roughly understood what kind of person Yu Xiaogang was.
[Strongest: Yu Xiaogang is the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the current Clan Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.] [Strongest: Speaking of which, Yu Yuanzhen could be considered a hero of his generation. When the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was destroyed in the future, he faced the siege of six Titled Douluo and even killed four Titled Douluo in return.]
Even Yang Xiu could not help but sigh with emotion.
That old dragon, Yu Yuanzhen, had shown some real backbone in his final battle.
[Waiting for One Person for Life: !? The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was wiped out?! How far in the future was that?!]
Liu Erlong had been listening attentively, but when she saw this message, she immediately felt terrible.
"Even a sect as powerful as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could be wiped out?"
Her feelings became complicated for a moment.
Although she had always refused to admit that she belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the truth was that she had received the clan's protection many times.
To say nothing else, take her Blue Tyrant Academy.
Without the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan backing it, it would have been swallowed up long ago.
[Waiting for One Person for Life: Bibi Dong! Was it you, you evil woman?!] [Bibi Dong: What does that have to do with me?!]
The corners of Bibi Dong's lips curled upward. It seemed that her future soul hunt operation had succeeded after all!
Sure enough, she was a woman of astonishing wisdom!
Only under her leadership could Spirit Hall truly prosper!
"Still, Yu Yuanzhen had some skill. He alone took down four of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo. The plans afterward will need to be even more thorough."
[Not Little Witch: The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the Upper Three Sects! How could it be wiped out?!]
Ning Rongrong was also somewhat shocked, while feeling a trace of unease.
They were both among the Upper Three Sects. Could it be that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan truly remained unharmed?
Ignoring their banter, Yang Xiu continued his account.
[Strongest: From the moment Yu Xiaogang was born, the entire clan placed great hopes on him. Everyone basically regarded him as the next Clan Master. But because of this, Yu Xiaogang became overly domineering and spoiled from a young age! As a result, he offended quite a few people. However, because he was the Young Clan Master, most people in the clan endured it—until the year he turned six, when Yu Xiaogang awakened the useless martial soul, Luo Sanpao...] [Waiting for One Person for Life: No! That's not true. Xiaogang wasn't as overbearing as the group leader says. When I met him, he was always gentle and courteous.]
Liu Erlong could not help interrupting Yang Xiu's account.
In her eyes, Yu Xiaogang was a true gentleman who never offended anyone.
[Strongest: Didn't Yu Xiaogang also tell you that, because of the flaws in his martial soul, his family mocked him every day when he was young?] [Waiting for One Person for Life: Uh... he did say that.]
Yu Xiaogang had told her that far more than once.
[Strongest: Then did you never ask why, as the Young Clan Master, he would be mocked by the entire clan? And those mockeries weren't even done in private—they happened openly.] [Waiting for One Person for Life: I... never asked.] [A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: Generally speaking, even if the Clan Master's son awakened a useless martial soul, any clan disciple with a shred of sense wouldn't mock him—at least not openly. Doing so would disgrace the Clan Master, and on a larger scale, disgrace the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Unless... Yu Xiaogang had truly aroused public outrage!]
Seeing someone explain it for him, Yang Xiu nodded in satisfaction.
Ye Lingling's mind was as sharp as ever.
Just as she had said, before awakening his martial soul, Yu Xiaogang had definitely provoked public outrage!
In other words, he had offended quite a few people.
Normally, when Yu Xiaogang awakened the useless martial soul Luo Sanpao, no reasonable person would have mocked him. Instead, they would have comforted him.
After all, no matter how worthless he was, he still had a Titled Douluo father behind him. No one would go out of their way to offend him.
Yet the moment he awakened a useless martial soul, he was ridiculed from every direction.
Clearly, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had endured Yu Xiaogang for far too long.
The children might not have known better, but did their parents not know better either?
[Strongest: That's right. Yu Xiaogang's spoiled personality as a child was only one aspect. What truly made everyone in the clan completely despise him was the series of actions taken afterward by Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen.] [Strongest: @Waiting for One Person for Life, let me ask you: didn't Yu Xiaogang often brag to you that although he had only innate half-rank soul power, he relied entirely on his own theories and hard work to cultivate to Rank Twenty-Nine?] [Waiting for One Person for Life: This... Xiaogang did say that... Could it be that it wasn't the truth?]
Liu Erlong recalled the past.
Xiaogang had not only told her this; he basically said it once whenever he met someone.
[Strongest: Heh... the truth? How far have you cultivated in your entire life? Ask everyone in the group whether someone with innate half-rank soul power could reach Rank Twenty-Nine through nothing but their own effort.] [Not Little Witch: I have the most say in this. I swear, it's basically impossible. Even if he slept only two or three hours a day, he could never reach Rank Twenty-Nine!] [Motherless Since Childhood: That's right. This is already an innate limitation. Reaching Rank Twenty-Nine is basically impossible; he might not even be able to break through to Soul Grandmaster!] [Waiting for One Person for Life: Then... then how did Xiaogang later break through to Rank Twenty-Nine?] [A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: Can't you figure that out with your toes? Obviously, he used a great deal of resources.] [Strongest: The resources Yu Xiaogang used were far more than just a little. He truly took up a substantial share of the cultivation resources meant for the clan's disciples. But there was nothing they could do—he was the Clan Master's son, so those clan disciples could only endure it. Think about it yourselves: how many resources would a person with innate half-rank soul power need to consume to cultivate to Rank Twenty-Nine?] [Bibi Dong: Sigh... that is an astronomical figure... Those resources would probably have been enough to support two or three Titled Douluo...]
Bibi Dong sighed. Everything she had failed to understand before now made sense.
After her thoughts had cleared, she had still wondered how Yu Xiaogang had reached Rank Twenty-Nine.
Now, she roughly understood.
"If that's really the case, then Yu Xiaogang really is..."
Bibi Dong still did not say the rest.
No matter what, Yu Xiaogang had been her first love.
