A comparison of the two Douluo, starting with Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang.

Having understood everything about the Spirit Sea Mountains, Chen Ming was filled with boundless rage.

If rage could kill, he would probably have already wiped out the Sun and Moon Royal Family by now.

Who would have thought that the high and mighty Emperor of the Sun and Moon would secretly engage in the kind of shady dealings only evil spirit masters would do!

Xu Aoxin, on the other hand, was greatly shocked.

She couldn't accept that her father was a malevolent spirit master.

After all, the actions of those evil spirit masters are utterly unforgivable.

More importantly, if his own father was a demonic soul master, how could his older brothers and sisters be innocent?

Xu Aoxin hoped her family members were clean, but the chances of that happening were extremely low.

"Suddenly, I realize how ridiculous I am."

Xu Aoxin gave a bitter laugh.

[Xu Aoxin has always touted herself as righteous; she even went so far as to defy the death penalty for her crimes in order to uphold her conscience.]

She was really happy at that moment; she felt she had done a great thing.

She wants to do even more of those good things in the future.

But now, with her father's secret being revealed, the road ahead has become rugged and fraught with difficulties.

Because I now only have two choices.

The first option is to stand up and firmly stop your father and siblings.

But how could he not know who his own father was?

He is a man of his word, and no one is allowed to disobey him.

Even as his most favored daughter, he would not allow himself to disobey his father's wishes.

Otherwise, Xu Aoxin wouldn't have run away from home.

[But if you choose to stand up and stop them, it's tantamount to declaring war on them.]

I must defeat them, and even be prepared to kill them.

The second option is to ignore it all.

Pretend you know nothing, and ignore what your father and his ilk have done.

This option was ruled out almost instantly upon its appearance; given her personality, Xu Aoxin knew she absolutely could not ignore it.

In other words, he basically has no choice but to fight his own father.

But that was her own father, the father who loved and cared for her.

For a moment, Xu Aoxin was at a loss.

While Xu Aoxin and Chen Ming were experiencing emotional turmoil due to the truth about the Spirit Sea Mountains and Silver Moon City, Yu Xiaogang was slowly recovering from the exhaustion he had suffered on Qingyun Road.

After stretching, Yu Xiaogang got up from the ground.

"Your recovery speed is quite fast."

Gaius raised an eyebrow.

"It's all thanks to the soul core within me."

"By the way, you're also a soul beast, so you should have a core inside you too, right?"

[Yu Xiaogang asked.]

"So what if it exists?"

Gaius was puzzled.

"I previously created a Soul Core technique, which is to construct a core that belongs to us humans, modeled after the cores within your soul beasts."

"This stuff works really well for me, but because it's so difficult to condense, I'm still experimenting."

Do you have any insights on this?

[Yu Xiaogang asked.]

As he spoke, he took out the method he had summarized for condensing a soul core.

[It not only contains my own recorded methods for condensing soul cores, but also my various trial-and-error experiences and insights into the use of soul cores.]

To put it bluntly, anyone with a modicum of intelligence who gets their hands on this thing could easily condense a soul power vortex, and even, to be bolder, attempt to condense a soul core.

"...You actually managed to do something like that?"

[Gaius couldn't help but say this after reviewing Yu Xiaogang's soul core condensation record.]

[The core of a soul beast is its most fundamental component; yet a human has managed to condense a core unique to humans, mimicking the core of a soul beast.]

[With this talent, it's no wonder the other party was able to reach this level with only level one innate soul power.]

"Regarding the core of a soul beast, each soul beast has its own understanding."

"Different interpretations are injected into the core, forming a miniature version of oneself."

"To put it bluntly, the strength of a soul beast can be discerned simply by examining its core."

"Your method of condensing the soul core seems to follow the right path, but it's still too immature."

Gaius carefully reviewed the methods recorded by Yu Xiaogang and pointed out some points he thought could be improved.

[Gaius is a 590,000-year-old soul beast, and he has a very deep understanding of the core of soul beasts. Therefore, Yu Xiaogang could easily glean some enlightening points from his words.]

[Gu Rong also joined the discussion later. Although his body only contained a vortex of soul power, his research over this period of time hadn't been in vain.]

The discussion grew increasingly heated, occasionally erupting into a brief argument.

These arguments generally stem from Yu Xiaogang's belief that the soul core should be handled this way, while Gaius thinks it should be handled that way.

One of them was speaking from a human's perspective, and the other from a spirit beast's perspective; both felt their arguments made sense.

But soon, the two sides found a compromise.

Damon initially joined in out of curiosity, but soon, feeling dizzy, he left the group.

As a soul beast, although his cultivation level has exceeded two hundred thousand years, Damon has never been the type to enjoy learning and research.

Therefore, Damon often heard his father, Gaius, angrily say that he was a good-for-nothing.

But Damon is very self-aware.

[So what if I'm useless? I have a grandfather who's a top-tier being even among gods, and a father who's always studying and researching.]

With their protection, why should I work so hard?

Is the food no longer appealing, or has my wife lost her charm?

[Damon was defeated, but soon Ers, who had opened his eyes from his throne, joined the discussion.]

Ers is also someone who enjoys research and learning.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that Gaius's love of learning and research as a soul beast was entirely cultivated by his father, Ers.

[Born with insufficient innate qualities, they were fortunate enough to be born.]

Without hard work, how could Gaius have achieved his current level of skill?

Ers's addition made the discussion flow much more smoothly.

Compared to Ers, Gaius is utterly insignificant.

[Even a casual remark from him could make Yu Xiaogang excitedly record it for half a day.]

The examples he gave on certain issues also broadened Yu Xiaogang's horizons.

Of course, what's even more important is Ers' own experience.

He was someone who had truly seen countless cultivation systems and countless prodigies; standing high, he naturally saw far.

[Thus, under Ers's guidance, Yu Xiaogang's Soul Core technique was quickly perfected and was ready for testing.]
