Yu Yuanzhen: This Child Is Outstanding, Just Like Me!

"Then let's try it."

"I know you're far stronger than I am. I can't beat you."

"But even so, I can't back down. Even if I die, I'll still take a bite out of you!"

Qin Qi raised his head and met Yu Yuanzhen's gaze, speaking despite the overwhelming, irresistible pressure.

Yu Yuanzhen said nothing, merely staring at him coldly. The two remained locked in a standoff.

Neither of them showed weakness, but the people standing nearby were already drenched in sweat.

Little ancestor, how did you dare?!

This was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch, an incomparably domineering man whose word was absolute!

Even the Second Master usually did not dare talk back to the patriarch!

Standing beside them, the subordinates inwardly marveled at Qin Qi's sheer audacity.

At the same time, they felt unbearably uncomfortable, as though countless needles were pricking their bodies.

Before long, sweat had soaked their backs, and fear rose uncontrollably in their hearts.

Five minutes passed.

"Hahaha! Good boy. That unyielding pride of yours is quite good. Just like me."

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly burst into laughter and reached out to pat Qin Qi on the shoulder.

"A dragon should be like this. No matter what kind of enemy it faces, it must never lower its head."

"Even if it is still a young dragon, it must hold its head high and look down upon the world."

The admiration in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes was undisguised. He saw true pride in Qin Qi!

It was not arrogance fostered by family status and background.

Nor was it the blind conceit born from being excessively pampered.

It was the unbending pride of someone who possessed nothing, yet still feared nothing!

"Heh. Whenever I have a good quality, it's because I'm like you? Then does being handsome mean I'm like you too?"

Qin Qi gave a cold laugh. Everyone said Yu Yuanzhen was aloof and proud, but Qin Qi thought the man was simply narcissistic.

"No. Your looks are indeed not bad, but compared to me in my youth, you still fall short by thirty percent."

Yu Yuanzhen answered without hesitation.

"You've actually made me laugh."

At that moment, Qin Qi understood where Yu Xiaogang's blind confidence had come from.

So it was hereditary.

And his talent for chasing women was hereditary too!

This family really was not a proper bunch.

"Enough. No more nonsense. Since you don't want to leave, then forget it."

"I won't force you, but I have already confirmed it. You are a descendant of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"The doors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will always be open to you."

As Yu Yuanzhen spoke, he removed the ring from his thumb. It was a jade ring carved with dragon patterns.

"Consider this my token. Keep it. Return whenever you wish."

Yu Yuanzhen directly stuffed the ring into Qin Qi's hand, not giving him the slightest chance to refuse.

"I'm leaving."

Yu Yuanzhen turned and walked out of the room, his attendants hurriedly following behind him.

"This man really handled matters like thunder itself—direct and swift."

"But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... once I'm done with things here, I definitely need to go take a look."

Watching Yu Yuanzhen's departing figure, Qin Qi confirmed that his Strangers at First Sight killer move did not work on Yu Yuanzhen.

But physical disguise worked very well.

Once he learned the Familiar at First Sight killer move in the future, he would no longer have to worry about his disguises being exposed.

After all, Familiar at First Sight was centered on Transformation Dao.

It could truly alter one's face, bone structure, and every external characteristic.

Outside the Great Soul Arena.

"Patriarch, are we really just going back like this?"

The subordinate looked back at the Great Soul Arena and spoke hesitantly.

"Yes, we're going back just like this."

Yu Yuanzhen replied.

"What about Young Master Luo Mian?"

The subordinate asked.

The man was quite perceptive. From what had happened just now, he could tell that Yu Yuanzhen thought highly of Qin Qi.

So he had directly started addressing him as young master.

"That child said he wouldn't return because he was angry—angry that we had ignored him all these years."

"But that's fine. Have people take better care of him from now on and send him some resources."

"Given enough time, he will accept our clan."

Yu Yuanzhen had handled many matters involving illegitimate children. What kind of situation had he not seen before?

He had also dealt with those who resisted returning to the clan, so he was already experienced.

"Understood. I'll remember that."

The subordinate nodded.

"Also, arrange for a few people to spar with Luo Mian and let him see the strength of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Let him understand how slow one's growth is when relying only on oneself without the support of a faction."

Yu Yuanzhen paused, then spoke.

He thought Qin Qi was talented and bold, but Qin Qi lacked resources right now.

If he did not seize this best period for cultivation, he would suffer quite a lot in the future.

"I understand. Young Master Yu Tianheng is eleven this year and has reached Level 19. He is about to become a Two-Ring Soul Master."

"Should we have Young Master Yu Tianheng come over?"

After thinking for a moment, the subordinate remembered Yu Tianheng. His age was suitable, and his strength was not bad either.

He should be able to defeat Qin Qi.

"Tianheng? Fine, have him come. What about Tianxin? How is he doing now?"

Yu Yuanzhen stopped walking. After thinking it over, he felt that having Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin come would not be bad.

Whether they won or lost, it would be beneficial. If they won, Luo Mian would learn about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's foundation.

If they lost, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin could temper their mindsets.

But the chances of losing were very low. A Level 19 fighting a Level 11 was practically a foregone conclusion.

"Young Master Tianxin is attempting to break through to Level 20. Should we specifically have him come as well?"

The subordinate asked.

"Have him come too. The two of them are considered the most talented among the younger generation."

"Let them get acquainted with Luo Mian. Besides, cultivation is not just sitting still. Combat is important too."

Yu Yuanzhen said.

"Alright."

The subordinate made a note of it. Once they returned, he would notify Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Yu Yuanzhen and the others left.

Qin Qi had finally finished absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone.

Having lost all of its energy, the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone no longer retained its original blue color.

It had become like an ordinary piece of bone.

"Although there's no energy left inside, don't waste it. Golden Saint Dragon, you can eat it."

As Qin Qi spoke, he tossed the bone into the air. The next moment, the Golden Saint Dragon appeared, opened its massive maw, and swallowed it in one bite.

"Roar."

After finishing the bone, the Golden Saint Dragon moved close to Qin Qi and affectionately rubbed against his hand.

"Very good. Such a good boy. Come to think of it, you seem to have grown again."

Qin Qi looked at the Golden Saint Dragon. It had previously been around five meters long, but it had now grown to six meters.

This was probably due to it absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone's energy.

"Soul Bones differ from Soul Rings. Their energy has limited effects on raising Soul Power."

"But they are also very effective at improving physical fitness."

Qin Qi picked up a stone from the ground, placed it in his palm, and clenched his fist. The stone instantly shattered.

"My strength has increased, but it's hard to calculate by how much. My other attributes must have improved too."

"But there's no way to quantify them. Sigh, cultivation in Douluo is still far too backward."

"You can only test Soul Power Level. Nothing else can be tested."

"If only I had a status panel system..."

As Qin Qi said this, he suddenly remembered something. Aside from theft killer moves, the Thieving Heaven Inheritance also contained methods for constructing mechas and artificial intelligence.

"Could I build a system attribute panel myself?"

The thought suddenly emerged in Qin Qi's mind. We can't operate mechas yet.

But if I work hard enough, maybe I can make an attribute panel.

The original work never stated Yu Tianheng's exact age, but he should not have been over twenty.

Since the protagonist was currently around six years old, Yu Tianheng was probably about five years older than Tang San.

Yu Tianheng should have been eleven and close to Level 20.

As for Soul Bones raising Soul Power, Douluo I did describe it. I'm not suppressing his level.
