Douluo: Yun Ming in the Spirit Hall Era

Chapter 6 My Parents' Past

How did Yang Wudi feel after hearing Yun Ming's words? He was shocked! He was heartbroken!

They were shocked by Yun Ming's unconventional approach and his extraordinary comprehension, which prevented him from being bound by the prevailing ideas of the current Soul Master world.

If the Breaking Clan truly changes its tradition of using all-attack spirit rings, will it still be the Breaking Clan? Yang Wudi is now struggling with this question in his heart.

Seeing that his grandfather's expression was conflicted after his initial shock, Yun Ming guessed Yang Wudi's concerns and firmly stated his opinion.

"If the Destroyer Clan loses the courage to 'break with convention and create the future,' then it ceases to be the Destroyer Clan!!!"

Afterwards, Yunming went on to explain his solution.

"Grandpa, you don't need to worry about the subsequent soul ring combination. I've already thought it through."

"Our Breaking Clan's first four inherited soul skills are quite excellent. As long as we adjust the defensive counter-attack type 'Shock' soul ring to the third position, and place the full-strength 'Soul' soul ring to the first position, these have all been tested by our predecessors, so there's no need to experiment again!"

Upon hearing Yun Ming's improved plan, Yang Wudi's mind involuntarily began to deduce what would happen if his first four spirit rings were as Yun Ming envisioned. The "Shock" spirit skill could help a Soul Breaker break free from control and also provided some defensive capabilities, making it very useful. However, its hundred-year lifespan somewhat limited its effectiveness after reaching Soul Saint level. Adjusting it to a thousand-year lifespan would indeed allow it to continue being used. The "Soul" spirit skill's overall spirit power would never be outdated for a spirit master, which was also excellent. Only one of the first four spirit skills, the "Explosion" spirit skill, was replaced, but its potential was indeed much higher.

After figuring everything out, Yang Wudi quickly cleared up his doubts. Yes! If the Po Clan didn't even dare to change this good thing, then they would truly be doomed! It wasn't that Yun Ming's ideas were particularly profound; it was simply that people of this era were limited by the thinking of this era. Now that Yun Ming had brought it up, Yang Wudi quickly understood the crux of the matter, his mood brightened, and he burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha."

After laughing, Yang Wudi praised Yun Ming with satisfaction.

"good!"

"Truly worthy of being my grandson, Yang Wudi's grandson!"

Seeing that his grandfather had returned to normal, Yun Ming breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain his thoughts on his first soul ring.

"The Soul-Shattering Spear is like that, and so is my Sky-Piercing Spear. That's why my goal for the first spirit ring is to influence the enemy's judgment of the spear's trajectory."

"The Mysterious Beast will likely grant me a skill to distort space; the Ethereal Python will most likely grant me a skill to break through space. Both of these soul beasts are quite suitable for spear-type martial souls, and both types of soul skills can still be used after reaching the Soul Saint level. It's just that... both of these soul beasts are quite hard to find."

After listening to Yun Ming's reasons for choosing the soul rings, and considering Yun Ming's already formidable talent in spear techniques, Yang Wudi felt that these two soul skills were indeed exceptionally well-suited to spear techniques, and thus made his decision.

"In that case, we've decided on these two types of soul beasts!"

After discussing the issue of spirit rings, Yang Wudi noticed that his talented grandson's face was filled with a mixture of longing, pain, and inner turmoil. Finally, he sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and took out a pair of rings from his pocket and handed them to Yun Ming.

These rings are elegant and noble in appearance, with exquisite patterns carefully engraved on the surface. The patterns look like two majestic phoenixes, and each ring is set with a dazzling gemstone in the center, one emerald green and the other transparent.

Yunming took the ring and looked at his grandfather with a puzzled expression.

"This is?"

Yang Wudi said with a touch of nostalgia and sadness.

"This is your parents' storage soul tool, and also their token of love, the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming looked at the two rings in his hand and was overcome with grief.

Seeing his grandson's expression, Yang Wudi spoke in a rare gentle tone.

"These are your parents' most precious possessions. We didn't give them to you a few years ago because you were too young and we were afraid you'd lose them. Now that your martial soul has awakened, these rings are yours to keep safe from now on!"

Yun Ming lowered his head and remained silent, his medium-length hair concealing his expression.

Not long after, Yun Ming raised his head, his eyes slightly red, and asked in a choked voice.

"Grandpa, can you tell me now about my parents' past and how they died?"

Looking into Yun Ming's eyes, and considering Yun Ming's personality, talent, and the vow he made in the ancestral hall yesterday, Yang Wudi knew he could no longer hide it. He composed himself and nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

"The story begins nine years ago."

"Your mother back then was a bit spoiled and playful. She wasn't serious about cultivation and often went out to play on her own."

Yang Wudi's tone softened considerably when he spoke of his beloved daughter, and Yun Ming's mood improved upon hearing about his mother.

"Once, your mother ran away from the family and went to Tiandou City for a visit. She happened to be there during the annual auction of the Tiandou Auction House. To join in the fun, your mother attended the auction."

"At this auction, your mother took a fancy to a pair of rings, specifically the Phoenix and Dragon Ring you have on your wrist, and wanted to buy them!"

"But alas! This Phoenix Seeking Phoenix is ​​not only an extremely high-grade storage soul tool, but also highly sought after by nobles at auctions due to its exquisite appearance. Your mother didn't bring much money with her when she went out, and in the end, she lost the bid, which was won by a spoiled brat from Heaven Dou City for an even higher price!"

"However, although you didn't get the rings, your mother didn't seem to care much. She planned to leave right after the auction."

"But who would have thought that the spoiled brat who bought the ring did so simply because he was attracted to your mother's beauty!"

At this point, Yang Wudi's tone became somewhat unfriendly and disdainful.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"As soon as your mother stepped out of the auction house after the auction, that playboy surrounded her with his men, saying that if your mother went with him, he would give her the rings and make her rich and powerful."

"But your mother wouldn't just give in to a playboy because of a pair of rings and leave right away."

"And that纨绔 (playboy/spoiled brat) wasn't about to let her go so easily. He immediately ordered his men to forcibly take your mother away!"

At this moment, a hint of coldness appeared in Yun Ming's eyes. Yang Wudi did not say anything more and continued speaking.

"Because that playboy was the son of the Minister of State Affairs of Tiandou, the passersby on the road did not dare to meddle in his affairs. But at this moment, a hothead suddenly stood out from the roadside."

Mentioning this man still made Yang Wudi somewhat angry. It was this rascal who had run off with his little darling. However, seeing Yun Ming and considering that he had left behind such an outstanding grandson, Yang Wudi's rare anger vanished completely.

"This person is your father. Back then, your father was studying at Canghui Academy. He happened to pass by and saw your mother being harassed. His sense of justice kicked in, and he stepped forward to stand up for your mother."

When Yun Ming heard this, it sounded somewhat familiar—it was like a hero rescuing a damsel in distress from a storybook! However, Yun Ming's parents quickly proved to him that they weren't so conventional.

"Your father was already a Soul Venerable at the time and had defeated many lackeys, but unexpectedly, that playboy had a Soul Sect guard with him. After that Soul Sect guard made his move, your father quickly fell into a disadvantageous position."

"When your father couldn't hold on any longer, your mother directly unleashed the Soul-Shattering Spear. The Clear Sky Sect is very close to Heaven Dou City, so anyone in Heaven Dou City with even a little discernment could recognize the Soul-Shattering Spear's spirit. The Soul Sect guard hurriedly withdrew upon seeing the Soul-Shattering Spear, but since he didn't know your mother's exact identity and saw that no damage had been caused, he wanted to settle the matter peacefully by paying some money. Your mother didn't agree, and that纨绔 (a spoiled brat) didn't take it seriously either, so the two sides parted on bad terms!"

Yunming's father tried to play the hero and save the damsel in distress, but ended up being the one who needed saving. Yang Wudi even lectured Yunming about this.

"From now on, you must train diligently; strength is the foundation for everything you do!"

Yunming felt somewhat embarrassed by his grandfather's pointed remark and could only agree. Yang Wudi continued recounting what happened next.

"However, in the end, that minister also discovered your mother's identity. He personally took his纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute young man) son to the Po Clan to apologize. If that minister hadn't been ruthless enough to not only leave behind a large sum of compensation, including the Phoenix Seeking Phoenix pair, but also break his son's leg on the spot, I would have killed that brat on the spot!"

Yang Wudi spoke of this with some regret.

"After that, your parents fell in love, got married, and had you!"

"And then..."

"That was the great battle from back then!"
