Chapter 90: Yu Yuanzhen's Dilemma
🕑 Added 2024-03-05 16:09:10 +0000 UTCYu Tianheng found Qin Ming.
"You want to take leave?" Qin Ming was surprised.
This was the final push before the planning phase, with just half a month left. What urgent matter could Yu Tianheng have to suspend his cultivation?
However, Yu Tianheng is the son of the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Sometimes, family matters indeed prevented him from completing his training.
"Alright, can you come back within three days?"
"No problem."
"Okay."
...
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Tianheng personally returned to the clan and found his grandfather, who was also the current clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the only Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen.
"Tianheng? Is there something important bringing you back to the clan this time?" Yu Yuanzhen was curious why his grandson had returned to report to the clan in person.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Tianheng usually communicates with the family through letters.
"Grandfather, Xiaowen has returned to the Academy, and with the help of Senior Poison Douluo, his Soul Power has reached level thirty-nine," Yu Tianheng said.
"What!?" Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stood up from his seat.
"That's right, his Soul Power has reached level thirty-nine, and from the battles these past few days, it's evident that his Third Spirit Skill is also quite formidable."
From Yu Tianheng's expression, Yu Yuanzhen could surmise that Su Wen's combat power at the same level had surpassed Yu Tianheng, who possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit.
With the same Martial Spirit, there were differences in quality. The direct members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon awakened the family Martial Spirit, but there were also differences in quality. Yu Tianheng undoubtedly awakened the highest quality Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit. From the perspective of the Continent, his Martial Spirit quality was top-notch.
However, Su Wen's Book Martial Spirit is enough to suppress Yu Tianheng at the same level.
This left Yu Yuanzhen astonished.
"Has your aunt started teaching Su Wen yet? Have you asked Su Wen about it?" Yu Yuanzhen was quick to think about the family's investment in Su Wen.
In his view, it wasn't surprising that Su Wen hadn't been keen on it. After all, Su Wen had the opportunity to train under Poison Douluo for a year and a half, which was more precious than Liu Erlong's guidance. The results were also remarkable. In just a year and a half, he had progressed from obtaining the Third Spirit Ring to reaching level thirty-nine!
At the same time, this made Yu Yuanzhen take Poison Douluo more seriously.
"That old fellow must have some extraordinary prescriptions," he thought. Medicine and poison were not separate entities, and no one had ever doubted Poison Douluo's pharmacological expertise.
However, now Yu Yuanzhen was truly convinced that Poison Douluo must have mastered a prescription capable of rapidly increasing a Spirit Master's Soul Power.
No side effects.
At least, it's effective in the short term, and this period is likely to be under level forty.
Su Wen's return to the Academy without reaching level forty and obtaining the Fourth Spirit Ring from Poison Douluo is good evidence.
Unfortunately, Yu Tianheng no longer has this opportunity.
Already at level thirty-eight, even with the help of Poison Douluo, it's impossible to maximize further.
"Grandfather, Xiaowen also mentioned that Yanzi will also have a rapid growth period in Soul Power in the near future," Yu Tianheng said.
Dugu Yan is also at level thirty-eight, and Su Wen still says so.
Yu Yuanzhen frowned, overturning his previous speculation.
It may not be under level forty, but it may only have one-time effectiveness.
Of course, the lower the level of Soul Power, the more pronounced the effect.
In fact, many factions possess such methods; for instance, Clear Sky Sect has the technique of sealing cultivation to refine oneself, and upon unsealing, they can break through multiple levels successively, a technique used by Spirit Kings and Spirit Emperors.
However, regardless, Poison Douluo should also be of great help to Yu Tianheng.
Seeing his grandfather pondering for a while, Yu Tianheng continued.
"Grandfather, I also asked Xiaowen. He said that after our trip to major cities for Spirit Fighting, he will go to Aunt's place for further training."
Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and nodded.
"In fact, the main purpose of my return this time is not about that," Yu Tianheng took a deep breath and informed Yu Yuanzhen about what Dugu Yan had said after embellishing it a bit.
"I see," Yu Yuanzhen first clarified a doubt, which was also the sudden decision of Dugu Bo to accelerate Dugu Yan's cultivation using external objects.
Previously, Dugu Yan, apart from Mimetic Environment and battles, had never resorted to any accelerated training methods.
However, Su Wen directly stated that Dugu Yan would soon experience it.
With the connection between past and present, Yu Yuanzhen's doubt was resolved.
Also, from what Yu Tianheng said, Yu Yuanzhen understood the reason why Dugu Yan didn't use medicinal baths in the past.
"No wonder Su Wen could gain favor from that old fellow."
Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts were orderly. Though surprised by Dugu Bo's request, he pondered each question carefully.
After all, rushing at this moment wouldn't help; it would only disrupt his thinking process.
He eventually focused on the ten-thousand-year-old dragon-type Spirit Bone that Dugu Yan needed.
Dragon-type Spirit Bone!
This was the most valued Spirit Bone for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Moreover, it was a ten-thousand-year-old one.
If Dugu Yan needed a top-notch ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Bone, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could provide it. However, when it came to Spirit Bones of dragon-type Spirit Beasts, with exceptional quality, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't easily give it out.
Even as the family head, he needed to convene the Elder Council and undergo a voting process.
"I will convene the Elder Council now."
Indeed, there were still three dragon-type ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Bones within the clan.
According to Dugu Bo's request, only one of them was of top-notch quality and intact.
This particular Spirit Bone was truly exceptional, a treasured asset of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, essential to its foundation.
Yu Yuanzhen currently possessed two Spirit Bones, and they did not overlap with the top-notch Spirit Bone stored in the treasury.
In other words, Yu Yuanzhen could absorb it, and this Spirit Bone was extremely compatible with him.
The reason it hadn't been used yet was primarily for the overall benefit of the clan, reserved for Yu Luomian.
There were two Old Spirit Doulou in the clan, but both were elderly, and the hope of reaching Titled Douluo was slim. However, Yu Luomian, with his Soul Power at level seventy-nine, could serve as the Grand Elder, and his age was the critical factor.
This Spirit Bone was also reserved for him.
If he could break through to level eighty through his own cultivation, then with this Spirit Bone, his hope of advancing to Titled Douluo afterward would be extremely high.
But if he remained stuck at level seventy-nine, then Yu Yuanzhen would absorb this Spirit Bone himself.
From the beginning, there was never any consideration of this Spirit Bone being passed outside the family.
Even to Yu Luomian, who had the right to receive this Spirit Bone, was related to Yu Yuanzhen as his younger brother.
That's the current situation of this Spirit Bone.
However, the request from Dugu Bo that Yu Tianheng brought today has truly put Yu Yuanzhen in a difficult position.
A ten-thousand-year-old top-quality dragon-type Spirit Bone.
"Sigh, it still depends on what your second uncle thinks," Yu Yuanzhen sighed, instructing to convene the Elder Council meeting. He then proceeded to the meeting room with Yu Tianheng to wait.
