At the sight of the purple pig, Yu Xiaogang nearly spat out another mouthful of blood.
It turned out that becoming a cripple was not a dream.
The Golden Sacred Dragon really had vanished without a trace, like a bubble.
As soon as he thought of the Golden Sacred Dragon, he thought of the Soul Bone that had slipped away from him.
Right, the Soul Bone.
If I can absorb the Holy Light Sword Dragon Soul Bone in the clan treasury, I might still have a chance to turn things around.
With that, Yu Xiaogang got out of bed.
A maid carrying his medicinal soup was stunned to see him rush out. She said:
"Young Master Xiaogang, you haven't taken your medicine yet."
The moment Yu Xiaogang heard her, he ran even faster.
Why bother with medicine?
His hope lay ahead.
Meanwhile, in a quiet room.
Lin Chuan pressed the Holy Light Sword Dragon Soul Bone against his right arm and circulated his Soul Power to begin refining it.
Under Yu Yuanzhen's guidance, Lin Chuan soon finished refining it. The process went very smoothly.
Yu Yuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief. As he marveled at the purity of Lin Chuan's Wishing Angel energy, he was also inwardly startled.
Lin Chuan, meanwhile, was overjoyed.
His Soul Power Level had directly broken through to level fourteen.
After absorbing the right arm bone, he had obtained a Soul Bone Skill: Light Wing Blade.
This Soul Bone Skill allowed him to summon a holy light sword, which he could wield in his hand or launch as a projectile.
As he saw it, he might even be able to combine it with his Wishing Angel's wings.
That was only an idea, however, and still needed to be developed.
But in any case, it had strengthened his ability to fight head-on.
Yu Yuanzhen was also surprised to see Light Wing Blade. He said:
"It seems this Soul Bone Skill is somewhat more powerful in Nephew Lin Chuan's hands."
Hearing that, Bibi Dong could not help asking curiously:
"Can Soul Bone Skills change?"
As an illiterate, she really did not know much about the subject.
Qian Xunji, meanwhile, was speechless. If her disciple had read more books, she would have known the answer. Would she still need to ask?
Yu Yuanzhen nodded.
"Our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's records contain no mention of this Soul Bone having such an ability."
"It can summon a light sword to attack from a distance."
"This is the first time I've heard of anything like Nephew Lin Chuan's."
He could not help thinking how fortunate it was that Lin Chuan was a healing-type Soul Master. Otherwise, wouldn't he be crushing his peers like an opponent from a higher dimension, cutting them down like melons and vegetables?
At that moment, Lin Chuan was also inwardly startled. Am I really a genius?
He had never expected the original Soul Bone Skill to have only one use.
No wonder Yu Yuanzhen had not looked the least bit pained when he saw him take the Soul Bone.
Meanwhile.
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's praise, Qian Xunji proudly thrust out her ample chest.
As expected of my disciple, Qian Xunji's disciple.
In her eyes, Chuan'er was always giving her surprises.
With this Soul Bone Skill, Lin Chuan's Soul Power had risen by one level, and he had gained a way to deal with enemies.
As a healing-type Soul Master, his lack of fighting ability in the early stages could very well put Chuan'er in danger.
After all, his Fallen Angel Martial Soul had yet to absorb a Soul Ring.
She could not help looking forward to it.
How surprised would her father, Qian Daoliu, be when he learned of Chuan'er's strength and talent?
Bibi Dong was even more envious.
She glanced at her rotten junior brother and grumbled inwardly:
Why did we wager medicinal herbs instead of a Soul Bone when we competed with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan last year?
Why do I always miss out on the good things?
Just as Yu Yuanzhen led everyone out of the quiet room and pushed open the main doors,
A crew-cut figure suddenly appeared before them, panting for breath.
It was Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Yuanzhen was surprised to see Yu Xiaogang suddenly appear.
He frowned and said, "You unfilial son, what are you doing here again?"
Seeing that the Spirit Hall party was still there, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly said:
"Father, hurry and give me that Holy Light Sword Dragon Soul Bone! I might still have a chance to bring back the Golden Sacred Dragon!"
Bring back the Golden Sacred Dragon?
Hearing Yu Xiaogang still spouting nonsense, Yu Yuanzhen frowned.
"Your Martial Soul has already mutated. What you need to do now is cultivate properly and reach level ten first."
"Not dream about absorbing a Soul Bone."
"Even if I gave you the Soul Bone, could you absorb it now?"
As he saw it, Yu Xiaogang, who currently had only half a level of Soul Power, could not absorb a Soul Bone even if he gave him one.
Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang craned his neck, his face flushing red as he shouted:
"I'm your son. Don't you believe me?"
???
So now you remember you're my son?
Yu Yuanzhen's expression was calm.
Looking at the anxious Yu Xiaogang, he felt there was probably little hope.
Most importantly, he had already given the Soul Bone to Lin Chuan.
As he saw it, giving away that Soul Bone had indeed been the most cost-effective choice.
So he pointed at Lin Chuan and said:
"Nephew Lin Chuan has already absorbed that Soul Bone."
"The light sword in his hand was created by its Soul Bone Skill."
Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang looked at Lin Chuan, his eyes almost spitting fire.
My Soul Bone is gone just like that, and Lin Chuan absorbed it!
Why does every good thing land in Lin Chuan's lap?
But there was nothing he could do to Lin Chuan.
He was furious.
"Lin Chuan, your talent is greater now, and you're stronger than me, but three years from now, I will definitely challenge you!"
"Just you?"
Bibi Dong could not help laughing when she heard that.
By her reckoning, Yu Xiaogang probably would not even reach level ten in three years.
What would he use to fight her bad junior brother?
Would he use his head to butt the soles of her bad junior brother's feet?
And then laugh her bad junior brother to death?
Qian Xunji, however, was full of sympathy.
It was not Yu Xiaogang she pitied, but Yu Yuanzhen.
She truly could not imagine how Yu Yuanzhen had raised this child, only for him to turn out like this.
She had thought Bibi Dong was naughty, but now, by comparison, she found that her Dong'er was really quite good.
At least she had not driven her to death with anger.
Lin Chuan, meanwhile, was all smiles:
"All right, I'll wait three years for you, little brother Xiaogang."
As he saw it, unless Yu Xiaogang gained a possessing old grandpa, how could he possibly beat him?
Yu Xiaogang's expression improved a little. In his view, an accident had simply occurred during his awakening ceremony; otherwise, that dazzling genius would certainly have been him!
Yu Xiaogang wanted to say more.
Yu Yuanzhen struck the back of Yu Xiaogang's neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious.
He then said very seriously:
"Nephew Lin Chuan, among your peers, it seems you already stand head and shoulders above the rest."
"If you have a chance to meet Erlong in the future, please look after her."
"As for Xiaogang, you needn't take what the child just said to heart."
"It's my fault for failing to discipline him properly and causing such a great embarrassment."
Lin Chuan replied politely:
"You're too courteous, Sect Master Yu. It was my fault for not making myself clear at the time."
"There's plenty of time ahead. We'll have opportunities to exchange ideas."
He sighed inwardly. Yu Yuanzhen really hasn't had it easy, being both father and mother.
After once again having someone settle Yu Xiaogang in,
Yu Yuanzhen escorted everyone to the entrance of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He truly did not want anything more embarrassing to happen.
He had better hurry and see the Spirit Hall people off.
Just then.
A red-haired head peeked out from around a corner.
Seeing her, Bibi Dong instantly became wary again.
Her again!
Lin Chuan, however, waved. "Little sister Erlong, you're here."
Realizing she had been spotted, Liu Erlong first looked at Yu Yuanzhen and saw that he did not stop her. Instead, he nodded to her.
She ran out and asked softly, "Brother Lin Chuan, are you leaving?"
Lin Chuan nodded. "Yes, we've been away for some time."
Liu Erlong was disappointed to hear that.
Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen quickly comforted her. "Don't worry, Erlong. Once you break through to level twenty, I'll let you go to Spirit Hall for an exchange."
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up with delight at those words.
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Qian Xunji. "I'm sorry for the trouble when the time comes, Your Holiness."
Qian Xunji smiled. "Of course."
Chrysanthemum and Ghost also spoke from beside the convoy. "Your Holiness, Your Highnesses, we're ready to set off."
Then, under Liu Erlong's reluctant gaze, the Spirit Hall party departed in their carriages.
In the carriage.
Lin Chuan leaned out the window and waved to Liu Erlong and Yu Yuanzhen.
Only when the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disappeared from view did Lin Chuan pull himself back inside.
Watching him, Bibi Dong could not help teasing:
"Bad junior brother, it seems you're quite fond of that little sister Erlong, huh?"
"Why didn't you stay with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? They might have held you in the palms of their hands."
Hearing that, Qian Xunji flicked Bibi Dong on the forehead.
"Dong'er, Chuan'er would never do that. Don't talk nonsense."
Hearing that his teacher had spoken, Lin Chuan nodded solemnly.
"Teacher is right. Senior Sister is slandering me."
Spirit Hall is so warm. Why would I run off somewhere else?
He had received benefits from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so of course he had to put on a proper show of courtesy before leaving.
Just as Bibi Dong was about to trade barbs with Lin Chuan again,
Outside the carriage.
Chrysanthemum Guan said:
"Your Holiness, the Clear Sky Sect left a letter, specifying that it was to be delivered to the Pope."
Qian Xunji casually opened the letter. She had no idea what Tang Wei was being so mysterious about.
When she saw its contents, a strange look appeared on her face.
"Teacher, Teacher, what did the Clear Sky Sect say?"
Seeing her expression, Lin Chuan and Bibi Dong both grew curious.
Qian Xunji explained:
"The letter is simple. The Clear Sky Sect wants its younger generation to exchange pointers with ours at Spirit Hall."
"It's set for two weeks from now."
Lin Chuan was surprised.
Did they see me steal the limelight at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and decide to use this chance to suppress Spirit Hall?
At this, Bibi Dong also said with considerable regret:
"Unfortunately, they're bound to propose a contest between members of the older generations. That's how they'll have the advantage."
"After all, the strongest among them are Tang Hao and Tang Xiao."
Qian Xunji also frowned and said:
"That's where the problem lies."
"They specifically proposed an additional match between people your age, too."
"It seems they're quite confident in their younger disciples as well, and want to restore the Upper Three Sects' reputation."
Qian Xunji smiled.
In her view, there was no chance of Dong'er losing.
Bibi Dong waved her little fist.
"That's perfect timing! My stinky junior brother stole the spotlight this time, so I'll have to put on a good show myself."
Lin Chuan thought, Surely there's no one in the Clear Sky Sect's younger generation who can beat Bibi Dong?
Isn't this just handing us a free kill?
Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall.
Golden Crocodile Douluo hurried into the Worship Hall.
There was a smile on his face, along with a look of astonishment.
Seeing Golden Crocodile Douluo like this, Qian Daoliu said with a calm expression:
"What is it this time?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo said mysteriously:
"That boy Lin Chuan really stole the spotlight at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan made a complete fool of itself."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu's interest was piqued.
Lin Chuan again!
