Activated? It Was Never Off

"Come, use your Soul Skill to attack me." Soul Power surged through Yu Yuanzhen, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes.

He wanted to see just how great a boost this first millennium Soul Ring had given Yu Xiaogang.

"Father, you'd better take this seriously."

Yu Xiaogang gave him a reminder before entering Martial Soul Possession.

Golden light burst forth through the meridians in his limbs, and his entire body was wreathed in warm golden holy radiance.

His eyes transformed into dark-gold dragon pupils. A pair of half-foot-long spiral gilded dragon horns protruded from his forehead, gleaming with golden light, while the edges of his silver hair were plated with a layer of gold.

Golden Dragon scales covered his neck, shoulders, back, arms, and calves, while dragon claws began to emerge.

He grew nearly half a head taller, radiating majestic dragon might.

"First Soul Skill—Radiant Saint Body!"

His strength and defense were directly increased by fifty percent. Due to the Twin Polarity Resonance talent, his strength received an additional thirty percent boost under the effects of his first Soul Skill.

Boom!

Yu Xiaogang held his breath and focused, then threw a punch.

Yu Yuanzhen's Soul Power barrier shattered under that single blow, forcing him to seize Yu Xiaogang's fist. "Good lad!"

"You shattered a Soul Power barrier with the strength of a level-thirty-nine Soul Elder in one punch. That physical strength of yours... tsk tsk, what a monster."

He was only six years old! His cultivation was merely level fourteen!

And that was without even using a Soul Skill.

Yu Yuanzhen threw back his head and laughed. "Come! Show your old man that Self-Created Soul Skill of yours!"

His right hand transformed into a dragon claw.

He became slightly more serious. "I'll limit my Soul Power to the level of a level-fifty Soul King. Let me see just how far your strongest attack can reach now."

"Alright, Father. Be careful." Yu Xiaogang retreated three steps.

He assumed a distinctive opening stance.

He would use the Self-Created Soul Skill he had relied on most often against enemies in his previous life.

Mainly because he could not use the others with his current cultivation.

But this move only required the Golden Sacred Dragon Martial Soul and a little insight as prerequisites.

Soul Power gathered, the momentum of heaven and earth shifted, and dragon might rippled outward.

"Father, this is the method I used most often to face enemies. It is called—the Dragon Emperor Fist."

As the words fell, Yu Xiaogang's fist had already shot forth.

Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed dramatically. "Soul Power, dragon might, holy radiance, and even the momentum of heaven and earth—magnificent and boundless. What a Dragon Emperor Fist!"

Even he faintly felt some pressure.

Because he possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul as well! The Golden Sacred Dragon had purer blood than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon! The bloodline hierarchy of the Dragon Clan was simply that unreasonable!

The only reason he had not been greatly affected was because his cultivation far surpassed Yu Xiaogang's current level.

Dragon claw and fist collided, their shockwave annihilating all the surrounding trees.

It left behind a vast clearing.

Yet after the exchange, Yu Xiaogang had retreated four steps.

But he wore a smile. "Father, are you satisfied with the force of that punch?"

"Cough... it was fairly decent." Yu Yuanzhen feigned calm to conceal his embarrassment.

He had been careless.

If he had not been a level-ninety-five Super Douluo, relying on physical strength superior to Xiao Gang's, then with Soul Power at merely level fifty, it truly would have been hard to say who would win.

Who knew Yu Xiaogang could already draw upon the momentum of heaven and earth?

So he really had not lost a single bit of the foundation from his previous life.

Even the realm of his insights had been preserved exactly as it was.

Although most of his spiritual power was currently sealed, it was still Divine Rank spiritual power.

This was not a difference in quantity, but a gap in quality.

Charm and illusions were completely useless against Yu Xiaogang.

As he grew older, his spiritual power would gradually unseal. By Yu Xiaogang's calculations, once he reached level fifty, completely unsealing his Divine Sense would no longer have any adverse effects.

And this made him completely certain that as long as Yu Xiaogang was given time, returning to Rank 99 would merely be a matter of time.

And besides... would a Rank-99 Peerless Douluo who had nearly become a god lack methods of spiritual attack? No matter how one thought about it, that was impossible!

He would encounter no bottlenecks whatsoever throughout his cultivation.

One could practically say that he was destined to become a god!

This was simply a glorious blessing for their ancestors!

Yu Yuanzhen forcefully suppressed the corners of his mouth, which were about to curl up to the heavens. No, this old man cannot laugh yet, cannot laugh yet! Xiao Gang is only level fourteen. It won't be too late to laugh when he reaches Soul King. No, that isn't cautious enough. I'll laugh when he reaches Soul Saint. Yes, that's right, endure it a little longer!

"As long as Father is satisfied." Yu Xiaogang saw through him but did not expose him, giving his old father plenty of face. "Unfortunately, no External Soul Bone dropped."

"...Such things can only be found by chance, never sought. Keep a level head, Xiao Gang." Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately calmed.

An External Soul Bone?

Soul Bones were already rare treasures, let alone External Soul Bones. Those were even rarer than Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones.

Because they could grow alongside their owner, with limitless potential.

"I had them in my previous life."

"..." Yu Yuanzhen fell silent. After a long while, he finally spoke faintly. "Then let's work hard in this life and see if we can get another one to drop for you."

"Two."

"?"

"I had a Dragon Wing External Soul Bone and a Dragon Tail External Soul Bone in my previous life."

"Cough, your father will work hard. When I get you dragon meat later, I'll see if one drops for you to use first." Once Yu Yuanzhen said it, even he could barely keep a straight face.

Were External Soul Bones really that easy to obtain? Even getting an ordinary Soul Bone to drop was difficult.

He had not even completed his own set of Soul Bones yet.

"Then thank you, Father. Once I reach Soul Ancestor, I'll take you somewhere. That place is the key to whether I can surpass my previous life." Yu Xiaogang had also made up his mind. Once he reached Soul Elder, he would go to Sunset Forest and search for that treasured land from his memories of his previous life.

He would not let the opportunity of the Dragon King's Soul slip away.

As for the Immortal Herbs within, before the Ice-Fire Dragon Kings' Souls, they could only be considered a minor bonus.

In his previous life, the Icefire Dragon Kings had respectively become his eighth and ninth Soul Rings.

In this life, given his current foundation, earning the Icefire Dragon Kings' recognition should be much easier than it had been in his previous life.

He would first claim that treasured land. Once he reached level sixty, he could try to see whether he could obtain the Icefire Dragon Kings' recognition.

If all went smoothly, his sixth and seventh Soul Rings would be two Divine Soul Rings!

He only hoped that treasured land had not yet been discovered...

The Immortal Herbs could also allow Father and Second Uncle to advance further.

After consuming the immortal herbs, Yu Yuanzhen should have no problem reaching level ninety-eight.

As for Second Uncle Yu Luomian... attaining a title was certainly guaranteed. As for how many levels he could reach, that would depend on his own fortune.

"Good. Focus on cultivating without worry. Whatever you need, even if I have to pierce the heavens, your father will get it for you."

Yu Xiaogang merely nodded without saying more.

No amount of words could compare to concrete action.

Now that his father and the sect were supporting him with everything they had, once he returned to his peak, he would likewise lead the sect to entirely new heights and guide them toward a brighter future.
