Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

"Useless? Face?" Yu Yuanzhen clenched his fist, a flash of anger and helplessness in his eyes.

"He is my own son, Yu Yuanzhen, and the young sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even if his mutation fails, he is still a member of the Yu family! Am I wrong to spend resources to nurture him?"

Despite this, Yu Yuanzhen was filled with headache and exhaustion.

Yu Xiaogang, his only son, was once a genius, but he suffered a mutation when his martial soul awakened.

The original Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex has become a powerless Luo Sanpao, and its soul power cultivation speed has become extremely slow.

Now in his teens, he is still stuck at level 29, becoming a laughing stock in the entire Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan.

He was not reconciled.

He is a level 95 Title Douluo, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How could his son be a piece of trash?

Over the years, he has searched far and wide for rare and precious materials across the continent, expending countless sect resources and trying various methods.

The hope is that Yu Xiaogang's martial soul can reverse its mutation and rise again, even if it's just to be able to cultivate normally.

No matter what he did, Yu Xiaogang's condition did not improve at all. On the contrary, due to the accumulation of a large amount of resources, his body developed some hidden dangers.

The opposition within the sect grew louder and louder. The elders' doubts and the disciples' ridicule were like mountains pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"I understand what you mean." Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, his voice weary.

"Give me a little more time, give Xiaogang a little more time. If... if there really is no hope in the end, I will make a decision."

He prayed silently in his heart: Xiaogang, Xiaogang, your father has done everything he could and given you all the resources he could.

Whether you can turn things around after that depends on yourself.

If all else fails, then we will have no choice but to expel you from the sect.

At least outside, you no longer need to listen to those rumors, nor do you need to endure those ridicules and humiliations.

This decision was undoubtedly painful for him.

However, as the sect leader, he could not only consider his own personal feelings, but also the interests and reputation of the entire sect.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Clan leader! Sect master! I'm back!"

Yu Chen's voice was filled with urgency and excitement as he rushed into the main hall.

Upon seeing Yu Yuanzhen, he immediately knelt down, his voice filled with grievance and resentment.

"Clan leader, your disciple is incompetent and has been humiliated in the Spirit Hall!"

Yu Yuanzhen frowned and looked at Yu Chen. Seeing his injuries and disheveled appearance, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Yu Chen? What happened to you? Didn't I send you out to travel and broaden your horizons? How did you end up in such a sorry state? Who hurt you?"

The elders below also looked at Yu Chen, their eyes filled with doubt.

Yu Chen is a prodigy among the younger generation of the sect. He reached the level of a three-ring Soul Master at the age of ten, demonstrating formidable strength.

Ordinary Soul Masters are no match for him, so how could he have been beaten like this?

Yu Chen raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, and recounted everything that had happened at the Spirit Hall.

From the moment he challenged and defeated several core disciples of the Spirit Hall, to Lin Han's intervention and defeat of him with ordinary swordsmanship.

Then, the unusual soul ring configurations of Lin Han and Bibi Dong were described in great detail, word by word.

"Clan leader, that Lin Han is just a level 20, two-ring Great Soul Master, yet he easily defeated me, a level 31, three-ring Soul Venerable!"

Yu Chen's tone was excited.

"The strangest thing is that he and his senior sister Bibi Dong, both second-ring Great Soul Masters, actually have thousand-year-old purple soul rings! This is completely illogical!"

"This disciple suspects that they must have mastered some method, a method that can break through the upper limit of soul ring absorption years!"

"Otherwise, given their level, it would be impossible for them to absorb a thousand-year-old soul ring, let alone possess such formidable combat power!"

boom--!

As soon as Yu Chen finished speaking, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.

Yu Yuanzhen suddenly stood up, a look of shock and fervor flashing in his eyes. His aura instantly exploded as he stared intently at Yu Chen.

"What did you say?! A two-ring Soul Master with a second Soul Ring that lasts a thousand years?! And you, a level 31, three-ring Soul Venerable?!"

As a level 95 Title Douluo, he had lived for nearly a hundred years and had seen countless geniuses.

But I've never heard of a two-ring Soul Master being able to absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring, let alone defeat a three-ring Soul Master by crossing eleven levels!

This is simply a fantasy!

Ke Yuchen was someone he had personally trained. He was proud and would never lie, much less joke about such a thing.

"Every word I have said is true!" Yu Chen quickly replied.

"Lin Han's swordsmanship was incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless, reaching its peak. He didn't even use any soul skills from beginning to end, yet he still managed to leave me completely defenseless!"

"His senior sister, Bibi Dong, is also very strong; her second-ring combat power far surpasses that of ordinary second-ring Great Soul Masters!"

The elders also showed expressions of shock, exchanging glances and seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

A method to break through the upper limit of spirit ring absorption years!

These words exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap.

For Soul Masters, the age of their Soul Rings directly determines the power of their Soul Skills and their own potential.

The higher the age of the spirit ring, the stronger the power and the greater the future achievements.

However, there is a strict time limit for absorbing soul rings; once the limit is exceeded, the body will explode and the person will die.

If there really is a way to break through this limitation and allow low-level Soul Masters to absorb Soul Rings of higher age...

Then, the entire landscape of the Soul Master world will be overturned!

Yu Yuanzhen's breathing gradually became rapid, and the heat in his eyes grew stronger.

He desperately wanted this method!

If this method can be obtained, the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will be able to absorb super-limited spirit rings in batches.

If one's talent reaches a new level, the sect's strength will also increase significantly.

It could even surpass the Haotian Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to become the leader of the three upper sects!

More importantly, what if this method could be applied to Yu Xiaogang?

Perhaps it can reverse the mutation of Yu Xiaogang's martial soul and allow him to rise again.

Shedding the label of "useless" and no longer becoming a laughing stock in the sect!

"Spirit Hall... Lin Han... Bibi Dong..." Yu Yuanzhen murmured softly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

"It seems the Spirit Hall is hiding a huge secret."

He looked at Yu Chen, his tone solemn: "Yu Chen, you did very well. You did the right thing. Rest assured, the sect will definitely avenge you for today's humiliation."

After speaking, he turned to look at the elders below, his tone authoritative.

"Immediately issue the order to closely monitor the Spirit Hall's movements, especially those of Lin Han and Bibi Dong."

"Investigate their background and find out how they absorbed spirit rings beyond their lifespan!"

"No matter the cost, we must get our hands on this method!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" the elders replied in unison, their eyes filled with fervent desire.

They all knew that once they obtained this method, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan would usher in unprecedented glory.

Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Chen again, his tone softening slightly.

"Go and rest first. Once your injuries have healed, continue your training. Don't let one failure discourage you."

"Although Lin Han is formidable, you also have your own advantages. As long as you cultivate diligently, you might be able to surpass him in the future."

"Disciple obeys!" Yu Chen bowed respectfully, the resentment in his eyes gradually replaced by determination.

He secretly vowed that he would cultivate diligently and defeat Lin Han the next time he met him, washing away the humiliation of today.

After Yu Chen withdrew, silence fell once again in the main hall.

Yu Yuanzhen sat back in the main seat, his expression complex.

There is both a desire for a method to obtain a spirit ring beyond the age limit and a headache and helplessness towards Yu Xiaogang.

He looked out the window and prayed silently once again.

Xiao Gang, I hope this time things will turn around.

Hopefully, the method of obtaining a spirit ring beyond the age limit can save you and also save our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

But he also knew in his heart that Yu Xiaogang's situation was already beyond repair, and the hope of a comeback was extremely slim.

Meanwhile, Lin Han, far away in the Spirit Hall, was unaware of his victory over Yu Chen.

Not only did it save face for the Spirit Hall, but it also made Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, extremely eager for the "secret" in his hands.

An undercurrent surrounding the method of obtaining spirit rings beyond the age limit is quietly brewing.
