Background / History
Supporting Yu Xiaogang
In the comic-based world, Yu Yuanzhen spends years seeking ways to help his son overcome his low innate talent and failed Martial Soul mutation. He obtains medicinal ingredients and hires instructors, but Xiaogang still needs nine years to reach level ten. Delighted by that breakthrough, Yu Yuanzhen immediately arranges a search for a suitable first Soul Beast 1.
When Xiaogang asks to postpone obtaining his First Soul Ring, Yu Yuanzhen accepts after seeing that he continues cultivating diligently. Having already waited nine years, he considers another month insignificant 6.
His eventual choice is a roughly 350-year-old Thunder Dragon Lizard, kept in the clan’s beast pens. Its dragon blood and lightning attribute are intended to compensate for Luo Sanpao’s weak attacks. Li Qingshan acknowledges the care behind this selection but chooses a Holy Light Earth Dragon to support Sanpao’s evolution instead 12.
Original-World Counterpart and the Sky Screen
The original-world Yu Yuanzhen watches the alternate Xiaogang through the Sky Screen alongside his clan’s elders. He recognizes the same poor innate talent and failed mutation, but finds the boy’s gratitude and perseverance sharply different from his own son’s behavior 10.
He remembers Xiaogang blaming him for his low talent and treating the clan’s assistance as inadequate. Despite those accusations, Yu Yuanzhen had continued searching for remedies. Seeing another Xiaogang acknowledge his father’s sacrifices forces him to reconsider his own son’s conduct 10.
Moved by the alternate boy’s determination, he requests texts on Martial Soul mutation and Dragon-type Soul Beasts, declaring that he wants to see how far this Xiaogang can go 10.
Accepting the Love Sword Douluo
Back in the comic-based world, Yu Yuanzhen immediately senses that Xiaogang has reached rank twelve and absorbed a First Soul Ring. Because the Thunder Dragon Lizard remains untouched, he questions where the ring came from 15.
Xiaogang explains his apprenticeship under Li Qingshan, who claims to be the level-ninety-nine Love Sword Douluo. Yu Yuanzhen initially doubts an unfamiliar title of such importance, but personally examines Luo Sanpao’s scales, limbs, and tail. These tangible changes, together with the new Soul Ring and Sacred Dragon Breath, give him hope that Li can change his son’s future 16.
Yu Yuanzhen asks to thank Li in person and discusses him with Yu Luomian and the elders. Li answers the invitation through a lifelike Spiritual Power incarnation rather than bringing his real body up the mountain. Recognizing a feat beyond his own capabilities, Yu Yuanzhen fully accepts Li’s claimed identity and agrees to let Xiaogang leave with him for training 17 18.
Before Xiaogang departs, Yu Yuanzhen urges him to respect his teacher, ask questions humbly, and avoid complacency. He also tells him to take care of himself and write home if he needs anything 19.
Personality
Yu Yuanzhen is a persistent and protective father. His concern for Xiaogang’s future drives years of expenditure and investigation, while his willingness to delay the Soul Ring hunt shows patience rather than a demand for immediate results 1 6 19.
His trust in Li Qingshan develops through evidence: first Luo Sanpao’s physical changes, then the Spiritual Power incarnation. The original-world counterpart is also capable of painful reassessment, recognizing that hardship does not excuse his son’s lack of gratitude 10 16 18.
Abilities & Skills
Titled Douluo Power
- Can release imposing pressure that Xiaogang once regarded as the height of Soul Master strength. Li Qingshan’s brief Limit Douluo aura surpasses that remembered pressure 3.
Soul Power and Spiritual Perception
- Detects Xiaogang’s rank-twelve Soul Power and recognizes that he has obtained his First Soul Ring 15.
- Uses Spiritual Power to sense his surroundings and identifies Li’s visiting figure as an incarnation without an ordinary flesh-and-Soul-Power aura 18.
- Regards the incarnation’s lifelike solidity and travel from the mountain’s foot as beyond his own capabilities 18.
Influence on Li Qingshan’s Manifestation
Yu Yuanzhen’s belief helps make Li’s invented identity real, even before the two meet 16.
| Event | Chapter | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Believes Xiaogang’s account after inspecting Luo Sanpao | 16 | Adds 5% manifestation progress, bringing the total to 25% and unlocking a wisp of Limit Douluo Spiritual Power. |
| Witnesses Li’s Spiritual Power incarnation | 18 | Adds another 10%, reaching his individual contribution limit. Combined belief from the gathering brings progress to 60%, raising Li from level forty to level seventy. |
Relationships
- Yu Xiaogang — Son. Supports his cultivation with resources and instructors; later entrusts his practical training to Li Qingshan. His original-world counterpart becomes disillusioned with his own son’s entitlement after watching the alternate Xiaogang 1 10 19.
- Yu Luomian — Younger brother. Joins the discussion of Luo Sanpao’s transformation and confirms the nature of Li’s incarnation with him 17 18.
- Li Qingshan — His son’s teacher. Progresses from an unknown, questionable claimant to a trusted expert in Yu Yuanzhen’s eyes 16 18.
