Absorbing the Soul Ring

"Yes, I've broken through to level thirty, but so what? There's still level forty, level fifty... one bottleneck after another waiting for me! My Martial Soul is Luo Sanpao, the result of a failed Martial Soul Mutation. I was born weaker than everyone else. If I don't even dare push the limits when choosing a Soul Ring, how am I supposed to catch up? How am I supposed to make up for the gap I was born with? Am I supposed to hide under your wing for the rest of my life, a Soul Master who always needs protecting?"

Yu Xiaogang panted, his chest heaving as he stared at Yu Yuanzhen. "Father, this is my only chance! With the help of that pill, I can gamble on a stronger future! If I don't even dare do that, I'd rather... I'd rather stay a worthless level-thirty Soul Master!"

Yu Yuanzhen saw the near-mad determination in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, and the despair buried beneath it. The words of warning on his lips turned into a long sigh.

He understood his son. After years of shame and resentment over his Martial Soul Mutation, Yu Xiaogang had finally glimpsed a chance to break free. There was no turning him back now.

So be it.

Yu Yuanzhen reached out and gave Yu Xiaogang's slightly thin shoulder a firm pat. "Since you've made up your mind, I'll take this gamble with you."

He said no more. After checking the direction, he sent his powerful spiritual senses spreading ahead like an unseen tide, searching for the target Soul Beast's presence.

"Follow me."

Yu Yuanzhen gave a low command and sped off into the forest. Yu Xiaogang hurriedly gathered his Soul Power and followed close behind.

With a Titled Douluo conducting the search himself, it took little time.
