Yu Xiaowei returned home dejectedly.
His soul power hadn't leveled up, disrupting his plans.
He had originally thought he could advance to Soul Master today, but he was still stuck at level 39.
The key issue was that he didn't recognize any of the remaining immortal herbs and dared not eat them randomly; if he ate one that conflicted with his attributes, it would be a huge problem.
"Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid, Autumn Water Dew, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Narcissus Jade Skin and Bone, Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma."
He muttered as he walked, trying to compare these immortal herbs to things he was familiar with.
"Xiaowei, what are you babbling about?"
Hearing the voice, Yu Xiaowei turned his head and saw Yu Xiaomeng waving at him.
"Big brother, what's wrong?"
"Father wants to see you."
Yu Xiaowei jumped. Yu Yuanzhen was back?
He quickly followed, asking with a look of surprise.
"Did my dad successfully advance to Soul Douluo?"
"Yes."
Yu Xiaomeng's face was full of smiles. The family had gained another Soul Douluo, which was a great joy.
When they arrived at the study, Yu Yuanzhen was chatting and laughing with Yu Luomian.
"Uncle, Dad."
"Father, Second Uncle."
Yu Xiaowei and Yu Xiaomeng respectfully bowed to them.
As soon as he saw his son enter, Yu Luomian laughed heartily, stepped forward and bumped chests with him, showing off proudly.
"Xiaowei, your dad is level 84 now, how about that, isn't it amazing—"
"Wow, Dad, how many years of Soul Rings did you absorb?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaowei was shocked.
This was a Soul Douluo, gaining 4 levels by absorbing one Soul Ring. Needless to say, it must have been a Soul Ring of extremely high age. When did his dad go to such lengths?
"Ahem."
Yu Yuanzhen coughed lightly and winked at Yu Luomian.
"Alright, second brother, sit back down. We still have something to discuss with Xiaowei."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Yu Luomian quickly sat back down, looking at Yu Yuanzhen expectantly.
"Xiaowei, I've heard everything your eldest brother told me about what you did while your father and I were away."
"You did very well, extremely well."
"I've been thinking about what to reward you with, but I couldn't think of anything suitable."
"It just so happens that your father and I went hunting for spirit rings and killed an 80,000-year-old Crimson Flame Turtle King."
"A spirit bone fell from its body."
Saying this, Yu Yuanzhen swiped his ring and took out a long, narrow box.
80,000 years!
No wonder Yu Luomian's spirit power increased so much.
Although he knew the spirit bone was for him, Yu Xiaowei wasn't too excited; instead, his feelings were somewhat complicated.
He knew about the Crimson Flame Turtle, a dual-attribute fire and earth spirit beast with extremely high explosive power, yet it was also a defensive spirit beast. At its 80,000-year level, even ordinary Title Douluos wouldn't dare to provoke it.
Even with Yu Yuanzhen's cultivation, killing such a Crimson Flame Turtle King would be extremely difficult.
Moreover, why was Yu Luomian so desperately absorbing a spirit ring close to its limit?
Yu Xiaowei knew perfectly well.
Although his father usually seemed unreliable and didn't care much about cultivation,
this time he was almost tricked, truly touching Yu Luomian's sore spot.
"Uncle, give this spirit bone to my father, I don't need such a high-level item."
Hearing his words, Yu Luomian immediately became anxious.
"You child, your uncle said it's for you, so it's for you. What would an old man like me need something so precious for?"
"Then whoever wants it can have it. Uncle, you can absorb it yourself if you want, but I don't want it!"
Yu Xiaowei said, kneeling down, his neck stiff, refusing to accept the soul bone.
"You unfilial son!!!"
Yu Luomian suddenly sprang to his senses, raising his hand to slap Yu Xiaowei, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never even laid a hand on Yu Xiaowei.
Years ago, Yu Xiaowei's elder brother died in the jaws of a soul beast while hunting for a soul ring
. Since then, Yu Luomian had become utterly despondent, spending his days in brothels and even fathering a daughter, Liu Erlong. Later, his second brother's family welcomed a grandson, bringing Yu Luomian immense joy and lifting his spirits once more.
However, the unexpected death of Yu Xiaowei's second brother dealt him
another blow, turning his hair white overnight. It wasn't until fifteen years ago, at Yu Yuanzhen's urging, that he remarried, only to have Yu Xiaowei's mother fall ill and pass away after childbirth.
Therefore, like a cursed star, Yu Luomian doted on his grandson Yu Tianxin and youngest son Yu Xiaowei, treating them like precious treasures.
As for his daughter, Liu Erlong, although she didn't like him, he still tried his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, until the two of them had a complete falling out over Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiaowei, just take it."
Yu Xiaomeng, who was standing to the side, also tried to persuade him.
But Yu Xiaowei remained unmoved, meeting the furious Yu Luomian's gaze without fear.
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Xiaowei with a serious expression, then suddenly laughed heartily.
"Alright, second brother, calm down, Xiaowei is just being filial."
"This unfilial son, he really makes me angry!"
Yu Luomian sat back down, his face flushed red, still angry.
"Alright, Xiaowei, get up too. Your uncle will keep this soul bone for you for now."
"Big brother."
Yu Luomian said dissatisfiedly.
"This soul bone was originally intended to be given to Xiaowei when he reached the Soul Saint level. Otherwise, with his current strength, if the soul bone is exposed, it's easy for someone to kill him and take the bone."
Yu Yuanzhen smiled and stopped Yu Luomian from saying anything more, then continued to speak to Yu Xiaowei.
"Child, your filial piety is commendable, and your uncle is very pleased. However, this soul bone is not suitable for your father, and your uncle has other plans."
"Get up, child. This soul bone will remain with your uncle for now. Your uncle looks forward to your early attainment of the Soul King realm."
Yu Xiaowei stood up and respectfully bowed to Yu Yuanzhen.
"Go out and play!"
Yu Xiaowei, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, hurriedly fled.
To be honest, it would be strange if he wasn't tempted by an 80,000-year-old soul bone.
But this was something Yu Luomian had risked his life for; if he were to absorb it so easily, he wouldn't be Yu Xiaowei.
Watching his retreating figure, Yu Luomian revealed a gentle smile and said softly,
"This rebellious son."
Stepping out of the room, facing the sun, Yu Xiaowei opened his arms, fully enjoying the sunshine.
Yu Xiaomeng watched him, smiled, and left.
After standing there for a long time, Yu Xiaowei, deep in thought, began to walk around the clan.
Starting from Yu Yuanzhen's study, he walked through every corner of the clan, from dawn till dusk.
Along the way, everyone—from the eldest branch to the second, whether feigning or genuine—
greeted him with smiles. Yu Xiaowei, unusually, responded with a smile to everyone.
He kept recalling Yu Luomian's doting affection for him since childhood.
And Yu Yuanzhen, seemingly stern, yet always secretly caring for him.
And his sister, Liu Erlong, who patiently taught him when he had no schooling, never disliking her mischievous younger brother.
And his brother, Yu Xiaomeng, who always protected him. And
the adorable juniors who called him "Uncle, Uncle" incessantly.
Suddenly, the sense of incongruity that had lingered in his heart, the feeling of being from another world, vanished completely.
Once, he wanted to protect the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan because he was a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
Now, he wants to protect the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan because he is a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.
Yu Xiaowei laughed, clenched his fist, pointed to the sky, and said in the common language of Blue Star,
"Anyone who dares to touch the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, I'll kill them! Even Jesus couldn't stop them, I said it!"
