[The video continues...]

[Having learned of Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Ability and witnessed his potential, the Elders departed and began discussing how to nurture him.]

[Yu Yuanzhen also felt a surge of anticipation for the future because of his son's First Spirit Ability.]

[However, those were matters for the future.]

[After recovering from his injuries, Yu Xiaogang's daily routine returned to the previous cycle of studying and Cultivating.]

[But this time, when Yu Xiaogang began to Cultivate, he immediately discovered that his cultivation speed was worlds apart from before.]

[If his former cultivation speed was like a thumb-thick water pipe filling a room...]

[...then now, while still filling the same room, the pipe had become as thick as a thigh.]

[Under this soaring cultivation speed, in just half a month, Yu Xiaogang's spirit power reached Rank 14.]

["It seems my gamble this time was truly the right choice!"]

[Feeling the power within his body, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, his face full of excitement.]

[Even before, with Little Dragon's assistance, his cultivation speed was not that of an ordinary First Level Innate Spirit Power.]

[Now that his talent had improved—though he didn't know the exact extent—even a single rank increase would manifest as something terrifying on his body.]

[Yu Xiaogang had a premonition that his future cultivation speed would only get faster.]

[One day, it might even be possible to surpass the speed of Full Innate Spirit Power.]

[Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang called Little Dragon, who was playing nearby, back to his side and shared a warm interaction with it.]

[A Separate Beast Spirit—how fortunate he was to possess such a cheat code.]

[Time flew by, and soon, another two years passed in a flash.]

[At a certain Training Ground of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]

["Little Dragon, split attack!"]

["Awoo!"]

[At Yu Xiaogang's command, his and Little Dragon's figures split, charging from the left and right sides.]

[Their target was Yu Yuanzhen, who stood calmly in the center of the Training Ground.]

["Awoo!"]

[On the left, Little Dragon flew in mid-air as light condensed before it. The next second, a golden ray shot out of its mouth.]

[Simultaneously, Yu Xiaogang on the right raised his hand. Light gathered in his palm, condensing into an exquisite longsword.]

[The sword was less than three feet long, perfectly suited for Yu Xiaogang's current height of less than 1.5 meters.]

[Reaching Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang swung the longsword, pointing it directly at his father's face.]

["Good boy, you're certainly showing no mercy!"]

[Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen raised his hand for Martial Soul Possession, dragon scales spreading across his arm.]

[Clang!]

[The longsword collided with the dragon scales, producing a metallic clashing sound.]

[Meanwhile, Little Dragon's ray reached Yu Yuanzhen, only to be blocked by his other hand.]

[Seeing his attack parried, Yu Xiaogang immediately channeled spirit power, and an energy ball quickly condensed beside him.]

[In the next second, the energy ball in mid-air darted like a nimble fish, bypassing Yu Yuanzhen's arm to attack from behind.]

[Unfortunately, Yu Yuanzhen responded with great composure. He lifted one foot, using the other as a pivot, and spun his body.]

[Yu Xiaogang was sent flying, and the energy ball attacking from behind was kicked away by Yu Yuanzhen's raised foot.]

[Landing on the ground after being thrown, Yu Xiaogang grit his teeth and hurled the longsword in his hand toward Yu Yuanzhen.]

[Interestingly, Yu Yuanzhen had just finished his rotation and was now facing Yu Xiaogang.]

[He then watched as Yu Xiaogang's Flying Sword flew straight toward his lower body.]

["You little rascal!"]

[Seeing his future happiness nearly ended by his son's sword, Yu Yuanzhen cursed under his breath and activated Martial Soul Possession.]

[Then, with the power of lightning diffusing, the Flying Sword finally stopped before Yu Yuanzhen.]

["Um... though it was a bit of an accident, this counts as my win, right, Father?"]

[Sitting on the ground, Yu Xiaogang felt a chill down his spine when he saw where his Flying Sword had almost hit.]

[However, as Yu Yuanzhen neutralized the attack, a smile returned to his face.]

[In this sparring match between father and son, the victory condition they agreed upon was whether Yu Xiaogang could force Yu Yuanzhen to use any power beyond simple Martial Soul Possession.]

[spirit ring skills and the Dragon's lightning power were all included in that restriction.]

[Thus, according to the rules, Yu Xiaogang had won.]

[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes and beckoned to him.]

["Come here first."]

[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately shrank back.]

[Unfortunately, Yu Yuanzhen was a Titled Douluo and didn't care for 'martial ethics'.]

[With a flash, Yu Yuanzhen appeared before Yu Xiaogang and delivered a smack to the back of his head.]

[Smack!]

["Hiss, that hurts!"]

[Yu Xiaogang clutched his head, crouching on the ground and inhaling sharply.]

["Hmph, so you know pain? If that strike just now had landed, your father's future happiness would have been ruined!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly.]

["That was an accident! Who knew you'd turn around just then?"]

[Yu Xiaogang held his head, speaking with a face full of indignation.]

["You still think you're right? What, if I didn't turn around, were you really going to stab your sword into me?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen glared at Yu Xiaogang, speaking irritably.]

["Hehe, I'll be careful next time. I'll definitely be careful next time."]

[Yu Xiaogang chuckled.]

[Sparring with Yu Yuanzhen was a new training regimen Yu Xiaogang had added over the past two years.]

[With his First Spirit Ability, Yu Xiaogang naturally needed to start gaining combat experience.]

[Especially since, after two years of research, Yu Xiaogang discovered that his First Spirit Ability was even more Heaven-Defying than he had imagined.]

[This First Spirit Ability could not only release spirit power for one-time attacks...]

[...but it could also condense spirit power into a physical form and maintain that shape for a long time.]

[The spirit power longsword Yu Xiaogang used earlier was developed this way.]

[With this move, Yu Xiaogang was no longer empty-handed in battle; he could manifest a thousand different weapons at will.]

[Yu Xiaogang had even used this technique, consuming a large amount of spirit power, to condense a Clone the same size as himself.]

[Regrettably, such a Clone could only be controlled by him and could not be endowed with an independent consciousness like Little Dragon.]

[This had left Yu Xiaogang disappointed for quite a while.]

[He had thought he could create a few more helpers like Little Dragon who could help him study.]

[Nevertheless, Yu Xiaogang's usage of this First Spirit Ability left Yu Yuanzhen and the others deeply shocked.]

[They didn't know the specifics of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring since they didn't possess one, so they couldn't comment.]

[But the Spirit abilities from their own ten-thousand-year spirit rings truly couldn't compare to the effects of Yu Xiaogang's First Spirit Ability.]
