Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!

As he listened to his elder brother's scolding, Yu Luomian retorted indignantly:

"Hmph, Yu Yuanzhen, don't act all righteous here! Have you forgotten how you gathered all the single members of the family to select a concubine for Xiao Yu?!"

"..."

"You... get out of here!!"

Yu Yuanzhen, hearing his dark past being exposed, couldn't help but feel thunderous energy surging through his body. His face flushed with anger as he roared.

In the end, Yu Yuanzhen kicked Yu Luomian out of the room and, suppressing his embarrassment, told Xiao Yu to go rest.

After returning to his courtyard, Xiao Yu took out the scroll given to him by the clan leader and began to examine it.

The scroll in his hand looked ancient. Although it appeared thin, when spread out, it was about half the thickness of a thumb.

Despite its thinness, the scroll felt incredibly heavy.

Just holding this scroll, it felt like it weighed at least ten to twenty pounds.

For a scroll that wasn't particularly thick, this was an astonishing weight.

Judging by this, the scroll was likely made from the hide of some powerful spirit beast.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have retained such weight after so many years.

After briefly inspecting the exterior of the scroll, Xiao Yu opened it.

As the scroll unfurled on the table, the front side revealed a simple map. The map didn't seem complete, consisting only of a few rough lines sketching a rudimentary outline.

On the back of the scroll was a piece of advice written by the first clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

"I, Yu Leishen, the first clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, discovered a space filled with dragon aura thousands of miles north of the continent.

Within this space, I found that even the dragon aura produced by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, the number one beast spirit in the world, felt as weak as a child's!

At the time, I believed my strength was sufficient, so I forced my way into the Dragon Valley despite the overwhelming dragon aura. After searching the outskirts of the valley, although I was injured by the dragon aura, I was fortunate enough to obtain nine unknown fragments.

Through research, I discovered how to use these nine fragments. After returning to the family, I used the power granted by these fragments to defeat countless opponents, earning myself a reputation across the continent.

However, because of these nine fragments, my life was cut short in an extremely brief period. Thus, I established a clan leader's decree, naming these nine fragments the 'Nine Crowns of the True Dragon.'

At the same time, I used my own experience as a cautionary tale, advising future clan leaders that unless absolutely necessary, and unless the clan is on the brink of destruction, they must never use the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon to enhance their strength! However, if a genius emerges within the clan who can..."

The clan leader's advice stopped here. Although it seemed like there was more to the text, and the scroll indeed had a long blank space, there were no further words. It looked as if a portion of the text was missing.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu felt a bit puzzled. Why did it stop here?

Could it be that the first clan leader hadn't finished writing the rest?

No, that couldn't be. Since he had written this much, why wouldn't he finish it? The handwriting was strong and forceful, not like something written on the verge of death.

Therefore, Xiao Yu guessed that the rest of the content wasn't missing but had been hidden by the first clan leader for some reason. Unless certain conditions were met, it couldn't be revealed.

Similarly, the map on the front might also have been hidden for the same reason. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a few scribbled lines.

If it was hidden, what were the conditions to reveal the hidden clues?

Was it to activate the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon? But how would he know if I've activated them? This scroll is an inanimate object, not a machine capable of facial recognition.

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yu contacted the Silver Dragon King, intending to ask her about the origin of the spirit beast used to make this scroll.

"Xiao Yu, what is it?"

The Silver Dragon King's ethereal voice came through as she sensed Xiao Yu's call.

Xiao Yu got straight to the point.

"Silver Dragon King, do you know what spirit beast's hide this scroll is made from?"

"..."

"Kid, are you itching for a beating? You're asking me, the ruler of spirit beasts, to analyze the corpse of one of my subjects?! This is disrespectful to my people!"

The Silver Dragon King's tone was unfriendly.

"There's information about the Dragon Valley's location on it."

"Where is it? Let me see..."

"Oh, this? Judging by the texture, it's likely the skin of a Mountain Dragon, and not only that, but a juvenile Mountain Dragon that died countless years ago.

If it weren't for the fact that this Mountain Dragon was young and had been dead for so long, with its flesh and skin already separated and decayed, you humans wouldn't have been able to use its hide to record anything! Because you wouldn't have been able to remove it in the first place!"

The Silver Dragon King spoke with a cold laugh.

"Mountain Dragon? As in, the kin of the so-called Mountain Dragon King? Wow, so the first clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family didn't just bring out the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon from the Dragon Valley? This scroll was also brought out from there?!"

Xiao Yu exclaimed in surprise before continuing.

"Then, Silver Dragon King, do you have a way to unlock the rest of the records? It seems like the latter part of his message has been hidden!"

The Silver Dragon King glanced over and spoke in her ethereal voice.

"This is a rather low-level seal. Unless one's strength reaches the level of the person who set the seal, it cannot be opened. The method to unlock it is simple: a descendant with his bloodline and equivalent strength needs to drip a drop of blood onto it."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's expression froze.

A descendant with strength equivalent to the first clan leader's? Where would he find such a person?

The first clan leader's strength, after fusing with the Nine Crowns of the True Dragon, was comparable to a demigod!

Although Xiao Yu's strength was sufficient—his physical body had already reached the demigod level—he wasn't a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

He wasn't a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family left outside, as this had already been thoroughly investigated.

If it weren't for the fact that he had married Liu Erlong and was also her disciple, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian wouldn't have paid him so much attention.

What if he asked Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen?

He wouldn't work either, as his strength hadn't reached the demigod level.

"Uh, Silver Dragon King, is there no other way?"

Xiao Yu asked.

"No, but you can try dripping a drop of your blood on it. Your strength is sufficient, so who knows, it might work."

The Silver Dragon King spoke casually.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu remained silent for a moment, then tentatively dripped a drop of blood onto the scroll.

At that moment, as Xiao Yu's blood touched the scroll, new characters began to appear on the previously blank and dull surface.

These slowly emerging characters seemed to be the continuation of the previous text.
