Chapter 85: Yu Xiaogang Was Numb

Chapter 85: Yu Xiaogang Was Numb

"It shouldn't be like this, the color is wrong..." Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply and asked, "Xiao San, how many years is this soul ring? What soul beast is it from?"

Tang San was slightly taken aback and replied, "Teacher, it's from a Mandala Snake that's over twelve hundred years old."

Tang San answered truthfully.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened upon hearing this. Over twelve hundred years? The limit for an auxiliary-type Soul Elder's soul ring is much more than just twelve hundred years, right?

No wonder this purple soul ring looks so light in color! While a thousand-year Mandala Snake is decent, its age is just too low!

If it were at least fifteen hundred years old, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have anything to say. But being only twelve hundred years made it hard for him to accept!

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's displeased expression, Tang San quickly recounted the process of obtaining the Mandala Snake soul ring.

"What? A Man-Faced Demon Spider?"

Yu Xiaogang was shocked. He hadn't expected that Tang San obtained this soul ring himself and that it was very dangerous during the acquisition!

"Xiao San, you were right. A two-thousand-three-hundred-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spider is beyond your current level to absorb."

"Teacher, that Man-Faced Demon Spider was killed by Yu Tiankong, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, to save my life."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang fell silent.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the young master, Yu Tiankong...

"Can you tell me about this Yu Tiankong? Oh, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How much do you know about him?" Yu Xiaogang asked with a hint of sadness.

If his martial soul hadn't mutated into its current form and if his innate soul power hadn't been just half a level, with his talent and effort, the position of the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have been his!

Tang San was puzzled. Why was his teacher suddenly asking about Yu Tiankong? They were just discussing the Man-Faced Demon Spider.

"Teacher, I don't know much about Yu Tiankong. I'll tell you what I do know."

"Yu Tiankong's martial soul is a long blade that flashes with purple lightning..."

Before Tang San could continue, Yu Xiaogang interrupted him, "Wait a minute, Xiao San."

"You said Yu Tiankong's martial soul is a long blade flashing with purple lightning?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned. Being the son of Yu Yuanzhen, he should be well aware of the situation in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, right?

"Could it be a mutated martial soul? It shouldn't be. Even if it were a mutated martial soul, if it's not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, how could he become the young master?"

Yu Xiaogang's mind was filled with questions.

"Yes, Teacher."

"He looks about the same age as me, but his soul power level has already reached sixty-two..."

Tang San said. He had heard this from Dai Mubai earlier. When he saw Kong, he noticed Kong's martial soul was a long blade, but as for the soul rings, it was quite peculiar. Why were all six soul rings purple?

"???"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened. Someone the same age as Tang San was already at level sixty-two?

No wonder, no wonder this monster, despite not having the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, became the young master. Those old fellows weren't entirely foolish after all!

Seeing Yu Xiaogang not speaking, Tang San didn't disturb him and waited for him to come back to his senses.

After a while, Yu Xiaogang finally said, "Xiao San, continue."

"Yes, Teacher!"

"Yu Tiankong's soul rings are very peculiar. All his soul rings are purple. This purple color is slightly different from the usual purple soul rings. They resemble the purple lightning attached to Yu Tiankong's blade. I suspect that his soul ring ages are normal, but due to his martial soul, they appear this way."

After saying this, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, thinking that perhaps his teacher might know something.

"All purple soul rings?" Yu Xiaogang nodded thoughtfully. Clearly, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't hesitate to help such a prodigious talent acquire soul rings. Moreover, having the first and second soul rings as purple was highly unusual.

"You are right. It should be because of his martial soul."

Yu Xiaogang didn't really know what he was feeling at the moment. There was happiness, confusion, and also a sense of loss.

The emergence of a genius in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan meant the clan had the potential to advance further, something that should make him happy. But he couldn't bring himself to feel that way!

Why was there such a huge gap between mutated martial souls?

After understanding the whole story, Yu Xiaogang nodded and said, "Xiao San, they probably want your father to owe them a favor. Don't worry too much about it."

It's normal for Kong not to recognize the Clear Sky Hammer, but would the elders following him not recognize it? Making Tang Hao owe a favor was a smart move on their part.

Damn it, he never received such treatment in the past, with two Contra-level elders following him. He couldn't even dream of it!

So frustrating!

"By the way, why did you decide to absorb the soul ring of that Mandala Snake when you knew it was only over twelve hundred years old?"

Forget the Man-Faced Demon Spider, its age was too high; absorbing it would have been suicidal for Tang San. And besides, Tang San didn't kill the Man-Faced Demon Spider himself.

But the Mandala Snake—Tang San knew its age was too low...

"Teacher, I wanted to help my father at the time, and I needed power..."

Tang San said, lowering his head.

At that time, he truly had that thought. Maybe after obtaining the soul ring, he could go help Tang Hao.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes twitched, and he looked at Tang San differently. Was there something wrong with Tang San's head? Even if he became a Soul Elder, could he participate in a battle between two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts and a Titled Douluo? The aftermath alone would be enough to kill him a hundred times over!

This isn't bravery; it's sheer recklessness!

Yu Xiaogang fell silent. What could he say? Tang San's filial piety was commendable; how could he blame him?

"By the way, Teacher, after killing that thousand-year Mandala Snake..."

At this point, Tang San paused and looked around. Seeing no one else was present, he whispered, "Teacher, this Mandala Snake dropped a torso soul bone!"

"What!" Yu Xiaogang was shocked. A torso soul bone?

Wait, a just-barely-thousand-year-old torso soul bone!

"Xiao San, you haven't fused with it, have you?"

Yu Xiaogang didn't have any designs on this soul bone. Tang San was his disciple, his hope. The stronger Tang San became, the better! As for him, even if he absorbed the soul bone and broke through to level thirty, it would just be a waste of the soul bone.

Yu Xiaogang was at least self-aware about this.

"I fused with it last night."

Tang San was initially stunned but then answered.

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

He was numb. Tang San needed to get nine soul rings for his second martial soul once he reached the Titled Douluo level, each over fifty thousand years old.

Wouldn't at least one or two soul bones drop from those? What if one of them was a high-level torso soul bone?

"How foolish..."
