[Yu Xiaogang's idea of summoning Little Dragon was forbidden, leaving him no choice but to stay in bed and recover from his injuries.]
[During this time, Yu Yuanzhen brought healing-type Spirit Masters multiple times to help him recover, but even so, Yu Xiaogang's injuries were so severe that he needed a proper period of rest.]
[After all, while Spirit Masters could heal Yu Xiaogang's wounds, they had no way to replenish the blood he had lost.]
[Once Yu Xiaogang's body had recovered enough to withstand the fatigue of travel,]
[Yu Yuanzhen bought an oversized carriage and placed Yu Xiaogang, along with his entire bed, directly into it.]
[Thus, the father and son sat in the swaying carriage as they returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Inside the carriage.]
["Haven't you been wanting to summon Little Dragon? Your body has recovered well, so give it a try now,"]
[Yu Yuanzhen said after a moment of thought, looking at Yu Xiaogang, who lay looking bored under the covers.]
["Hmm? Father, have you finally agreed?"]
[Yu Xiaogang immediately perked up upon hearing this; he had been curious about Little Dragon's changes for many days.]
["I didn't agree before because your injuries were too severe; your entire network of meridians was nearly burst by the spirit power of the first spirit ring of a thousand years."]
["If you had rashly used spirit power at that time, and even a single part of your meridians had ruptured through the slightest negligence, you should know what the consequences would be,"]
[Yu Yuanzhen explained.]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Xiaogang's gaze turned sharp.]
[meridians are the paths through which spirit power circulates within the human body. If any part of the meridians is damaged, spirit power cannot circulate normally.]
[When that happens, the spirit power within the meridians will leak from the damaged area out of the Spirit Master's body, leading to a drop in their cultivation level.]
[On the Douluo Continent, to cripple someone's cultivation, one only needs to destroy their entire network of meridians.]
["That was close, that was close."]
[Yu Xiaogang felt lucky in his heart.]
[Of course, such emotions only flashed through his mind for an instant.]
[At the moment, Yu Xiaogang was more curious about what his Spirit, Little Dragon, had become.]
[So, Yu Xiaogang cautiously circulated his spirit power and summoned Little Dragon according to his usual method.]
[As the spirit power flowed out, a glimmer of light emerged in front of Yu Xiaogang inside the carriage.]
[Within this light, a small figure slowly manifested.]
[When the light dissipated, the drastically transformed Little Dragon appeared before Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen.]
[The light purple fur that once covered its entire body was gone; now, Little Dragon's body surface was very smooth, with tiny pale-gold scales growing over it.]
[The pair of large, floppy ears it originally had had also shrunk significantly.]
[Those large, deep-blue eyes were still big, but the color of the pupils had changed from deep blue to having flecks of gold.]
[Of course, the biggest change had to be its physique.]
[Its body, which was once as chubby as a piglet Soul Beast, had now become much slimmer.]
[Coupled with the pale-gold scales all over its body, it truly had the flavor of a Dragon.]
[Its originally short, thick limbs had lengthened slightly, and its extended claws, though small, glinted with a cold light.]
[Besides that, a tiny, jade-like golden horn had sprouted a sharp tip on top of Little Dragon's head.]
[Of course, none of these were the most important; most importantly, a pair of dragon wings had actually grown on Little Dragon's back.]
[They looked very similar to the wings of the Crimson Blood Flying Dragon.]
[It could be said that if someone who had seen it before saw it now, they would absolutely show an expression of disbelief and ask:]
["Is this really the same Spirit I saw before?"]
[Looking at the drastically changed Little Dragon, a flash of astonishment crossed Yu Yuanzhen's heart.]
[Ever since Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Awakening, Yu Yuanzhen never felt that his son's Spirit was a pig.]
[After all, it made no sense for him to be a dragon and for Xiaogang's mother to be a dragon, only for Xiaogang to suddenly become a pig.]
[Therefore, he had always strongly agreed with Yu Xiaogang adding spirit rings from Dragon-type Spirit Beasts to himself.]
[He had a premonition before that only after adding a spirit ring from a Dragon-type Spirit Beast would Little Dragon perhaps reveal its true form.]
[Looking at it now, it was indeed so.]
[Although Little Dragon's current appearance was still that of a hatchling,]
[it was enough to prove that its essence was a Dragon, not a pig.]
[Furthermore...]
["When Little Dragon appeared just now, that was light, wasn't it?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen recalled the way Little Dragon appeared—the light emerging, and then Little Dragon manifesting.]
["So, Little Dragon's essence is Dragon, and its attribute is Light."]
["It's a good thing Xiaogang chose the attributeless Crimson Blood Flying Dragon when selecting the Spirit Beast for his first spirit ring."]
["Looking at it this way, Xiaogang really had foresight."]
[Thinking of this, pride welled up in Yu Yuanzhen's heart again.]
[With the brilliance Yu Xiaogang was currently displaying, in the future, he would not only achieve extraordinary success as a Spirit Master,]
[but he would likely also achieve results in theoretical research.]
[An individual becoming a powerhouse can bring stability and the capital to stand firm to a faction.]
[And excellence in theoretical research can allow many members within the faction to have good development as well.]
[Looking at it this way, with Yu Xiaogang, the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is truly limitless.]
["Hehe, won't this make those fellows die of envy?"]
[Thinking of the old rivals and friends he knew, Yu Yuanzhen had a face full of anticipation.]
[He could already not help but want to show off his son to those people.]
[While Yu Yuanzhen was thinking in his mind about how to act cool in the future,]
["Awoo!"]
[A crisp dragon roar with a hint of milkiness came from Little Dragon's mouth.]
[Following that "dragon roar," Little Dragon, with its bright, large eyes wide open, rushed into Yu Xiaogang's embrace.]
[Yu Xiaogang watched the charging Little Dragon and opened his arms to catch it.]
[The moment he touched Little Dragon, a smooth and cool sensation was transmitted.]
[Though it was cool, it wasn't irritating at all; it was very gentle, making Yu Xiaogang addicted with just one touch.]
["Little Dragon, thank you so much for before. If it weren't for your help, I really might not have been able to absorb this first spirit ring of a thousand years."]
[Yu Xiaogang thanked Little Dragon with a smile.]
["Little Dragon helped? What do you mean?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen, who was nearby, immediately pulled his thoughts back from his fantasies upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.]
[Little Dragon also helped during the absorption of the spirit ring? How come he didn't know?]
["During the process of absorbing the spirit ring, I felt the pressure and pain brought by the spirit ring suddenly lessen a lot."]
["At that time, I followed the feeling to search, and finally saw in my consciousness that Little Dragon was actually bearing the pain of absorbing the spirit ring along with me."]
[Speaking to this point, Yu Xiaogang reached out and touched the sharp little horn on Little Dragon's head.]
[As for Yu Yuanzhen, he sucked in a breath of cold air because of this information.]
["Little Dragon helped you absorb the spirit ring together? Xiaogang, are you sure this wasn't a hallucination?"]
