Chapter 52 Yu Xiaogang's Crazy Decision: The First Soul Ring in a Thousand Years

Arriving beside Yu Yuanzhen, and seeing the two fallen Crimson Blood Flying Dragons, Yu Xiaogang began to examine the condition of the first one.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned deeply.

["Only seven hundred years old"]

Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen and noticed that the other man was also frowning.

Clearly, the father and son were thinking the same thing at this moment.

[This Crimson Dragon is a bit too young.]

[After discovering the secret of whale glue, the family has conducted numerous tests.]

Several members of the family who consumed the Millennium Whale Elixir in the past two years have successfully obtained spirit rings that are over five hundred years old.

[Among these, some are over five hundred years old, some over six hundred years old, and some over seven hundred years old.]

[Having acquired a family member with over 700 years of history, who already possessed a certain foundation, coupled with the millennium whale glue, they completed their transformation, rising to become the center of attention.]

But those people were just ordinary members of the family.

Because Yu Xiaogang discovered the secret of whale glue, he received treatment at the level of a Contra Douluo (a legendary figure in Chinese mythology), and the resources he could enjoy were unimaginable to ordinary scions of families.

[Furthermore, with Yu Xiaogang's diligent and arduous training, it can be said that even without consuming whale glue, the first spirit ring Yu Xiaogang could obtain would have taken over four hundred years.]

[If I grit my teeth, I might be able to break the current record in Douluo Continent.]

Under these circumstances, with the help of Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang consumed and refined a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue.

With such a foundation, it can be said that obtaining the first spirit ring after eight hundred years is a piece of cake.

[If it's risky, trying for the first spirit ring in nine hundred years isn't out of the question.]

Under these circumstances, a first spirit ring acquired after seven hundred years is somewhat inadequate.

"How about we keep looking?"

Disappointed, Yu Yuanzhen glanced at Yu Xiaogang and said...

He knew his son's abilities and determination very well, so he was certain that Yu Xiaogang would not choose this seven-hundred-year-old Crimson Blood Dragon.

However, Yu Xiaogang's next decision greatly surprised Yu Yuanzhen.

"No, Father, don't bother looking anymore, this is it!"

[Yu Xiaogang seemed to have made up his mind, his gaze fixed firmly on Yu Yuanzhen.]

"Are you sure? But this is only seven hundred years old."

Yu Yuanzhen, still not understanding Yu Xiaogang's meaning, frowned.

Then he realized that Yu Xiaogang's gaze wasn't on the seven-hundred-year-old Crimson Blood Dragon at all, but on the one that was just over a thousand years old.

"You—you want to absorb this thousand-year-old crimson dragon?"

[Finally understanding, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes widened, and then he rejected the idea.]

"No, this is absolutely unacceptable. The number one spirit ring in a millennium? What are you thinking?"

"Even if your body has been strengthened by ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, you can still risk trying a nine-hundred-year-old spirit ring, but a thousand-year-old spirit ring is different from a hundred-year-old spirit ring."

[Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only a 100-year difference between a thousand years and nine hundred years.]

"But they are fundamentally different; the soul power impact of a thousand-year-old soul ring far surpasses that of a nine-hundred-year-old one."

"Even if your body were stronger, it would be difficult to withstand the first spirit ring from a thousand years ago!"

Yu Yuanzhen's words came like a barrage of bullets, leaving Yu Xiaogang no room to speak.

He could hardly even imagine a second-best spirit ring in a thousand years, let alone the first-best spirit ring in a thousand years.

"You're not trying to absorb a spirit ring, you're trying to commit suicide."

[As Yu Yuanzhen rattled off his words, Yu Xiaogang's gaze remained unchanged until Yu Yuanzhen finished speaking, at which point he finally spoke:]

"Father, I know there's a huge difference between a thousand-year-old spirit ring and a hundred-year-old spirit ring."

"I know this attempt is risky."

"But isn't this the path of a Soul Master? Without risk, how can one become stronger?"

"Especially for someone like me with low talent, becoming strong requires taking risks that others dare not take!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke each word clearly.

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's expression remained unchanged.

He understood the risks; he himself had faced countless life-or-death crises to become a Title Douluo.

When adding spirit rings to himself, he would choose spirit rings that were as close to his limits as possible.

Compared to his previous adventures, Yu Xiaogang's current adventure spans a vastly different dimension.

[The first spirit ring in a millennium?]

[Such a thing has never happened before. Yu Yuanzhen estimated that even the Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall probably couldn't have done this before it rose to power.]

If even gods have never achieved the first soul ring in a millennium, doesn't that prove that such a thing is simply impossible?

"It still won't work; it's too risky."

Yu Yuanzhen rejected the idea again, then went to Yu Xiaogang's side and placed his hands on Yu Xiaogang's shoulders.

"Xiaogang, I know you're smart and have a lot of opinions. I also know you want to become strong and wash away the humiliation you've suffered."

"But this time, you really have to listen to me. The condition of having the first spirit ring in a millennium is impossible to achieve."

"In all the years of Douluo Continent, there has never been such a record, which means that even the Angel God of the Spirit Hall could not have done this."

"Even God couldn't do it, how could a little kid like you, especially one who isn't very talented, possibly do it?"

Yu Yuanzhen said in a deep voice.

Although Yu Xiaogang's son initially subjected him to various criticisms, Yu Yuanzhen never looked down on him.

[Later, Yu Xiaogang responded to his concern, proving his talent.]

Therefore, in Yu Yuanzhen's heart, those taunts and humiliations were no longer important; what he cared about was his son.

Even if he lives a mediocre life.

"But Father, why can't we do what others can't?"

Yu Xiaogang calmly retorted.

"The appearance of whale glue has already brought the age of the first spirit ring to over eight hundred years, so why is one thousand years definitely not enough?"

"Someone has to try for there to be a chance of a breakthrough, right?"

Yu Xiaogang stared directly into Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, showing no intention of backing down.

"And as you said, Father, I'm not a child with exceptional talent. If I don't do things that are unimaginable to ordinary people, how can I become a strong person with this kind of talent?"

"Only in this way can I wash away the shame upon myself, and also for you, Father."

"So that from now on, when you go out and meet people, they won't think, 'This is the father of that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang,' but rather, 'This is the father of Yu Xiaogang who created a miracle!'"

Yu Xiaogang's words were resounding. Hearing them and looking into his eyes, Yu Yuanzhen understood that he could no longer stop Yu Xiaogang's determination.
