Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

"Decades ago, when I had just become the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, some changes occurred within the family. The Ninth Elder died to save me, and you were just born at that time."

“A few days after you were born, your mother died of a serious illness. Before she died, she entrusted you to me.”

"These are the things you've never known, and they are your true origins."

As Yu Yuanzhen spoke of these things, a hint of pain appeared on his face.

"Your father is Yu Zhengqi, and your mother is Lei Yun. They are both disciples of our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. You can choose to return to your father's name and decide whether to inherit your father's position as Ninth Elder."

"No matter what you choose, you will always be my son, Yu Yuanzhen's son. I have always treated you as my own son, and I will always treat you as such."

Hearing what Yu Yuanzhen said, Chen Luo felt a slight emotional fluctuation, but it wasn't particularly strong. He calmly asked, "Father, I want to know what exactly happened back then?"

Yu Yuanzhen was about to speak, but Yu Luomian suddenly spoke up: "Your current strength is not enough. Once you reach the Soul Saint level, we will tell you everything."

Sure enough, there are still some secrets within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Chen Luo nodded slightly.

Upon hearing Chen Luo call him "father," Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but smile.

From Yu Xiaogang's memories, it is clear that Yu Yuanzhen was really good to Yu Xiaogang, and even somewhat biased towards him.

If it weren't for the mishap during Yu Xiaogang's martial soul awakening, he would very likely have been a key figure in Yu Yuanzhen's training program.

Even though Yu Xiaogang became a useless person, Yu Yuanzhen still kept Yu Xiaogang in the family for many years despite the enormous pressure.

A person's goodness is always evident; though not his biological father, he is better than a biological father.

Chen Luo deeply respects Yu Yuanzhen as her father, and she suspects Yu Xiaogang feels the same way.

Yu Luomian spoke again at this moment: "My dear nephew, are you willing to inherit the position of Ninth Elder?"

"Don't worry, even if you become an elder, if your strength and abilities are outstanding in the future, you will still have the opportunity to sit in the position of clan leader."

Chen Luo was well aware of Yu Luomian's blatant probing.

Chen Luo had absolutely no interest in the position of patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. He calmly replied, "My nephew's current qualifications are not enough. How can I shoulder the heavy responsibility of an elder? I need to gain more experience outside for a few more years. Besides, I am not naturally ambitious. The position of patriarch is a joke. How could I think that far ahead? Uncle, you really think too highly of me!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Yuanzhen's face, while Yu Luomian wore a faint smile, seemingly having received a satisfactory answer.

Yu Luomian laughed and said, "That's true. You're still young and should go out and explore. But if you want to come back, the position of Ninth Elder will always be reserved for you."

"Furthermore, shouldn't you continue with your unfinished marriage with Erlong?"

Yu Yuanzhen said calmly, "You don't need to worry about the affairs of young people."

Yu Luomian immediately laughed and said, "That's right, elder brother is right."

“My dear nephew, you must live a good life with Erlong. That girl has a bit of a fiery temper, but she’s a good person.”

Chen Luo nodded slightly, without saying anything more, as it wouldn't be appropriate to say anything under these circumstances.

It seems that Yu Luomian is serious about bringing him and Liu Erlong together, rather than just being sarcastic and trying to cause trouble.

However, Chen Luo was not naive enough to believe that Yu Luomian had suddenly become a better person, suddenly caring a lot about his nephew after not seeing him for many years, and even willing to offer his daughter up.

As for Yu Luomian's claim that she has always been very optimistic about it, that's pure nonsense.

Yu Luomian's scheme was so well-thought-out that even Liu Erlong in Tiandou City could probably hear it.

If the person sitting here eating now were still that useless master who couldn't break through level 30, the scene would probably be completely different.

Even if Chen Luo's strength were slightly inferior, Yu Luomian's attitude would change completely.

People are all very realistic.

But from the father's perspective, Yu Luomian didn't seem to have done anything wrong. Who would want to marry their daughter to a good-for-nothing?

However, whether Yu Luomian truly cares for his daughter or has ulterior motives remains unknown.

[Special Mission - Rejoin the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan Completed, Mission Completion Rate 120%, Reward: Divine Dragon Armor!]

Having successfully returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and learned about Yu Xiaogang's background, the system notification arrived as scheduled.

However, the rewards for this special mission don't seem as good as the last one. The last special mission in the City of Slaughter increased my Soul Power level and gave me an Evolution Stone, but this time I only got a Divine Dragon Armor.

After lunch, Chen Luo was assigned a place to stay, which was Yu Xiaogang's old room. Yu Yuanzhen had kept everything that Yu Xiaogang used to own.

Yu Chenghua and Yu Chengming, the two older brothers, lingered there for quite a while, and Chen Luo satisfied their desire to hear "stories" by briefly recounting his own experiences.

After Yu Chenghua and Yu Chengming left, Chen Luo finally had time to check his special mission reward, the Divine Dragon Armor.

Chen Luo could check it while eating, since no one else could see the system anyway. But suddenly spacing out wasn't a good thing, so Chen Luo waited until now.

Soon, information about the Divine Dragon Armor appeared before Chen Luo's eyes—

【Divine Dragon Armor】(Special - Divine Artifact)

……

Chapter 149 Sparring

【Divine Dragon Armor】(Special - Artifact): Armor formed from the power of an ancient divine dragon.

Feature 1: Provides defense.

Feature Two: Concentrates power, accelerates the concentration of power, increases the speed of skill release, and improves training efficiency.

Feature 3: Dragon Power. By using the power of the dragon, one can temporarily boost their combat strength.

Feature 4: Adaptability, maximizing effectiveness based on the user's current capabilities.

Note: Special equipment cannot be gifted to others.

As expected of a divine artifact, it actually has four properties. The one that provides defense is practically meaningless, and the last one, adaptation, is the same.

Since it's labeled as a divine artifact, it must be something I can't fully control right now. I'll gradually unlock its power as my strength increases.

With a thought, Chen Luo saw the design of the Divine Dragon Armor in the Divine Dragon Space. It was gold in color and had the structure of ordinary armor, but it contained extremely powerful and profound energy.

With another thought, Chen Luo donned the Divine Dragon Armor, looking incredibly cool.

After putting it on, Chen Luo regained contact with the Divine Dragon Armor.

Chen Luo can summon and retrieve the Divine Dragon Armor at will. When retrieved, the Divine Dragon Armor directly merges into his body. When summoned, he can actively call it out, which is exactly his current form.

This is very convenient; you can use it whenever you want.

"I've finished everything I needed to do at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, so it's time to leave. If I head back now, I'll definitely be able to get back before the start of the Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament."

"Things are progressing much more smoothly than I expected. I originally thought it would take a month or two, but it was done much faster than I thought."

Chen Luo planned to rest for a while longer before going to say goodbye to Yu Yuanzhen.

With his eyes closed and mind focused, Chen Luo sensed the changes in his own strength. He really wanted to find a powerful opponent to have a good fight, preferably one where he could use all his skills to truly understand his own combat power.

"Boom boom boom!"

A knocking sound suddenly rang out, followed by Yu Luomian's voice.

"My dear nephew, your uncle would like to challenge you to a duel. Are you free?"

A sparring partner delivered right to your door?

Chen Luo immediately replied, "Okay!"

The door opened, and Yu Luomian looked at Chen Luo with a faint smile.

"I want to see the power of a 100,000-year-old soul ring!" Yu Luomian said with a smile.

Chen Luo nodded: "I also want to exchange and learn from Uncle."

The two hit it off immediately and headed to the clan's battleground, the very place where Chen Luo had taken his assessment that morning.

What Chen Luo didn't expect was that his battle with Yu Luomian attracted quite a few onlookers.

Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen was present, as were all the clan elders. In addition, Chen Luo's two elder brothers, Yu Chenghua and Yu Chengming, were also there.

There were more spectators than when Chen Luo took the test in the morning. Fortunately, not many more people came. Of course, others also wanted to come and join in the fun, but Yu Yuanzhen sealed off the area, not giving them the chance to join in.

Yu Yuanzhen's arrival was both unexpected and reasonable. Yu Luomian wouldn't spar with Chen Luo alone; he obviously wanted to explain the situation to Yu Yuanzhen. The elders, Yu Chenghua, and Yu Chengming were simply there to join in the fun and also to witness the combat power of a 100,000-year soul ring. As for how they found out about the news, that was unknown; it might have been told to them by Yu Luomian or Yu Yuanzhen.

Without much preamble, Chen Luo and Yu Luomian activated their respective Martial Souls in front of everyone.

Golden light flashed, and the enormous body of Golden Luo Sanpao appeared on the battlefield.

At the same time, six spirit rings slowly rose from beneath Chen Luo, with the sixth spirit ring being blood-red.

When everyone saw the blood-red soul ring on Chen Luo's body, their faces showed surprise, especially Yu Chenghua and Yu Chengming, who were seeing it for the first time. The word "disbelief" seemed to be written on their faces. Even the elders who had seen it once before still had a hint of surprise on their faces.

Golden Luo Sanpao's appearance was also extremely eye-catching. When they saw Golden Luo Sanpao, no one could imagine that this sacred and majestic golden dragon was actually the fat and weak Luo Sanpao from before.

On the other side, after activating her martial soul, Yu Luomian possessed the physical characteristics of a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. Just as Chen Luo had guessed, Yu Luomian was already a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, with eight soul rings surrounding her.

"Come on, let's have a good spar, uncle and nephew." Yu Luomian still had a smile on his face.

"it is good!"

Chen Luo nodded, and the battle officially began.

Almost at the same moment, both Golden Luo Sanpao and Jade Luo Mian started moving.

Yu Luomian's third spirit ring lit up, activating Thunderous Fury and enhancing his lightning power.

Both being the third soul skill, the Jade Crown's release was far more imposing than that of the Fifth Elder, Yu Yuanfeng, in the morning, clearly demonstrating the difference in their strength.

Yu Luomian was already very fast, and after activating Thunder Fury, he seemed to become even faster. His target was very clear: Chen Luo, who was behind Golden Luo Sanpao.

Only by making Chen Luo feel a sense of crisis can his true strength be forced out.

Chen Luo's fifth spirit ring lit up, and Golden Luo Sanpao had already disappeared.

At this moment, Chen Luo also started to move, retreating as far as possible to the edge of the competition field, while his fighting power was mainly concentrated on Golden Luo Sanpao.

Even though Chen Luo possessed considerable skill, he dared not directly confront a Soul Douluo-level expert head-on. Only as a last resort would he choose to engage in a direct confrontation.

"Zizzizi..."

As Yu Luomian drew closer to Chen Luo, the blue-purple lightning on his body emitted a somewhat ear-piercing crackling sound.

But the next second, another electrical sound rang out without warning, followed by a sudden burst of golden lightning.

As a Soul Douluo-level being, Yu Luomian possessed exceptional early warning capabilities and remarkable reaction speed. Almost the instant the golden lightning erupted, he had already used his Soul Skill to create a lightning shield for himself.

The sixth soul ring on Yu Luomian's body could be seen flashing, and the lightning shield it released was somewhat similar to that released by the Fifth Elder Yu Yuanfeng in the morning, only stronger.
