Chapter 234: Traveling the Continent and the Beaten Qian Xunji
[Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder were once again persuaded.]
[After all, Yu Xiaogang was right; in the future, he would definitely find a way to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring for himself.]
[When that time came, the corresponding Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast would surely drop a 100,000-year-old soul bone.]
[Such a Soul Bone would be the most suitable for Yu Xiaogang.]
[However, if Yu Xiaogang absorbed the hundred-thousand-year Left Arm Bone dropped by the Moon Devouring Azure Wolf now, and the Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast he hunted for his Soul Ring later also dropped a Left Arm Bone...]
[That would be terrible. To have an unsuitable 100,000-year-old soul bone occupy the slot of one that actually fit him would be a massive loss!]
[Therefore, the best course of action for now was not to rush into absorbing this 100,000-year-old soul bone. He could wait until all his Soul Rings were gathered; if his Left Arm Bone slot was still empty then, it wouldn't be too late to absorb it.]
[Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder could understand the logic with just a bit of thought.]
[But for some reason, why did they feel their hands itching to give him a beating?]
["To think such a thing exists in this world—obtaining a 100,000-year-old soul bone and not absorbing it immediately."]
["Truly, if one lives long enough, they can witness anything."]
[The Grand Elder stroked his beard and spoke with a strange expression.]
["Who could say otherwise?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen agreed.]
[He had originally thought that his son would definitely absorb this Soul Bone this time, but the boy had found yet another reason not to.]
[The worst part was that the reason was perfectly valid; even he agreed with Yu Xiaogang's decision not to absorb it after hearing it.]
["Fine then. I'll keep this Soul Bone for you for now and give it to you when you need it later."]
[Putting the Soul Bone into a storage soul tool, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Yu Xiaogang. Seeing that there wasn't even a hint of reluctance on his face, he suddenly felt a phantom toothache.]
[This son of his... although he had faced trials along the way, he had also seen sights at a young age that ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't see in a lifetime.]
["I wonder what will happen when he finally has enough strength to truly start adventuring on his own?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen was already looking forward to the sensation his son would cause when he traveled the Douluo Continent in the future.]
[Back when he traveled the Douluo Continent, he had seen all sorts of scenery and faced countless challenges.]
[Through constant fighting, Yu Yuanzhen's name spread from the upper echelons of the Douluo Continent to everyone's ears.]
[It was only when he became a Titled Douluo with the title Thunder that he truly became a legendary figure across the Douluo Continent.]
[Without those travels, even if he became a Titled Douluo, ordinary Soul Masters would only know that the Douluo Continent gained another Titled Douluo.]
[Beyond that, many wouldn't even care what this Titled Douluo looked like to avoid offending him in the future.]
[The only organization on the entire Douluo Continent capable of spreading their names was Spirit Hall, but Spirit Hall wouldn't help them gain fame.]
[Therefore, the Prodigies born into the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, and even lower-tier powers would all travel the continent once they reached a certain level of strength.]
[Besides broadening their horizons, it was also to bring fame to their Sect and themselves.]
[As his son, and the one Yu Yuanzhen and the Sect Elders were certain would take over as Sect Master in the future, Yu Xiaogang would definitely have to travel the continent as well.]
[He would make his name known across the continent, becoming a golden brand for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Relying on his reputation, he would attract talented Soul Masters to join them, continuously strengthening the Sect.]
[This was something a Prodigy from the Upper Three Sects had to do; to some extent, it was their responsibility.]
["Hmph, I'm really curious to see how those old friends of mine will react when my son travels the continent and defeats numerous geniuses."]
[Yu Yuanzhen thought expectantly.]
[Having successfully helped the Grand Elder obtain his Ninth Soul Ring, the group's objective for this trip was complete.]
[Learning the secrets of becoming a god on the continent and reaching a cooperation agreement with Ah Rou and the others was an unexpected bonus.]
[However, because of the Sky Azure Bull Python's Azure Silence Thunder, Yu Yuanzhen decided to deepen their cooperation with those Soul Beasts.]
[Thus, Yu Yuanzhen wanted to stay permanently in the town they were currently in.]
[It wasn't far from where they met Ah Rou and the others; in the future, he could drop by whenever he wanted to chat with them.]
["You clearly just want to escape your duties at the Sect."]
[Looking at Yu Yuanzhen's righteous expression, the Grand Elder complained inwardly.]
[After being together for so many years, the Grand Elder had a good idea of what his Sect Master was really like.]
[He knew the main goal was to seek guidance from the Sky Azure Bull Python regarding its Azure Silence Thunder, but escaping his work as Sect Master was definitely part of the plan too.]
["Sigh, I hope Xiaogang grows up soon and takes over as Sect Master."]
["With Xiaogang's scholarly personality, he probably won't be like the Sect Master, right?"]
[Unaware that the Yu Xiaogang he was pinning his hopes on was an even more difficult fellow to deal with, the Grand Elder held onto his expectations.]
[Afterward, Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder escorted Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong to Spirit City.]
[After arriving at Spirit City, Yu Yuanzhen left for a while.]
[Judging by the direction, he was heading toward Spirit Hall.]
[Yu Xiaogang had a rough guess as to what his father wanted to do at Spirit Hall.]
[Obtaining his Third Soul Ring this time had only taken two or three months, yet his Soul Power had skyrocketed from Rank 30 to Rank 42.]
[With such a rate of progress, his father definitely had to inform the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall in advance.]
[Otherwise, once his father left and they found out about his situation, he would be the one facing all the inquiries and investigations from Spirit Hall's leadership.]
[Sure enough, after half a day, Yu Yuanzhen returned with a look of pure satisfaction.]
["Hahaha! That fellow Qian Xunji used his higher Rank to bully us back when we were traveling the continent. This time, I finally got my revenge!"]
[As soon as he returned, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but burst into laughter.]
["Uh, Father, did you go pick a fight with His Holiness the Pope?"]
[Yu Xiaogang was a bit surprised.]
["Of course. Xiaogang, you have no idea how arrogant Qian Xunji was when our generation was still young."]
["He led Spirit Hall's Law Enforcement Team everywhere to wipe out Wolftaken, Fallen Spirit Masters, and the like."]
["Spirit Hall has massive resources, so Qian Xunji never lacked Soul Bones. Combined with his incredible talent, his Rank always crushed ours."]
["Every time we met that guy, he had this condescending attitude, as if we were some kind of lowly people."]
["He was always muttering about things like 'rule' and 'conquest.' His ambition was certainly not small."]
["But now, he can't beat me anymore! Hahahaha! You should have seen how shocked he was when he found out about my current state."]
[Yu Yuanzhen laughed as he recounted the scene of him overpowering Qian Xunji.]
[From his father's tone, Yu Xiaogang could tell that he was truly happy.]
["It seems His Holiness the Pope's conduct back then was quite unpleasant. For Father to remember it for so many years and rush over to beat him up as soon as his strength increased..."]
[Yu Xiaogang rubbed his chin.]
["Also, ruling, conquest..."]
["Does His Holiness the Pope actually have the idea of unifying the Douluo Continent?"]
