Chapter 363: Encountering the Clear Sky Sect
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Valley, the Thunder Dragon Bear sat on a small hill.
While munching on Thunder Howl's thigh, it protected the three humans who were absorbing their spirit rings.
Although it didn't want to protect humans, this was the Dragon King's order, and it couldn't refuse.
While the Thunder Dragon Bear believed that "beastmen are never slaves," who could argue with a Dragon King?
Two days later, Yu Luomian finally finished absorbing the energy of the 100,000-year spirit ring.
As the blood-red 100,000-year spirit ring was fully absorbed into Yu Luomian's body, the stray soul power was integrated, and he slowly opened his eyes.
A blood-red light flashed in Yu Luomian's eyes as he felt an incredible sense of clarity and energy.
This felt amazing! Truly amazing!
So this was the feeling of being a Title Douluo!
After so many years, I've finally broken through to the Title Douluo level!
"Haha!! I've finally become a Title Douluo!!"
Yu Luomian summoned his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red spirit ring appeared beneath his feet.
At the same time, the aura of a 92nd-rank Title Douluo burst forth.
Yu Yuanzhen, watching from a distance, couldn't help but feel envious as he saw the blood-red spirit ring beneath his brother's feet.
A 100,000-year spirit ring, and one of such perfect quality at that.
Yu Luomian had really struck gold.
He didn't have to do anything—just had a daughter, and his son-in-law eagerly helped him break through to the Title Douluo level and even gave him a 100,000-year spirit ring.
"Brother, how do you feel?" Yu Yuanzhen asked.
"Great, absolutely amazing!"
Yu Luomian's voice carried a deep, thunderous resonance as he spoke in his spirit-empowered state.
After briefly reveling in his excitement, Yu Luomian put away his spirit and turned to his elder brother.
"By the way, Brother, this 100,000-year spirit beast gave me a 100,000-year torso bone. Do you want to absorb it? It might help you break through to the 96th level!"
As he spoke, Yu Luomian produced a six-inch-long torso bone that shimmered with blue lightning.
Seeing the 100,000-year spirit bone, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel tempted.
However, despite his desire, he knew what he should do.
Suppressing his greed, he shook his head and said, "No, you should absorb it yourself. When a spirit bone and spirit ring are absorbed by the same person, they can produce a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts. Since you've already absorbed the spirit ring, you should absorb the spirit bone as well!
Once you absorb it, with four 100,000-year soul skills, your combat power might rival mine. For a family, having two Title Douluo with 95th-rank combat power is more cost-effective than having one with 96th-rank power!"
Hearing this, Yu Luomian fell silent for a moment before nodding. He then sat cross-legged on the ground and began absorbing the 100,000-year torso bone.
As for giving the spirit bone to Liu Erlong, Yu Luomian didn't consider it. After all, Liu Erlong had already obtained a Fire Dragon torso bone when she absorbed her ninth spirit ring. Moreover, the attributes of this spirit bone didn't suit Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon spirit.
Thus, Yu Luomian didn't hesitate and absorbed the spirit bone himself.
Soon, another half-day passed, and Yu Luomian finished absorbing the spirit bone.
Now, with both the spirit ring and spirit bone absorbed, Yu Luomian's soul power surged to the peak of the 92nd rank, just a step away from breaking through again. With a bit more time to consolidate his gains, he would likely reach the 93rd rank.
In terms of combat power, Yu Luomian, having absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring, was now on par with Clan Leader Yu Yuanzhen.
The sheer power of four 100,000-year soul skills bridged the gap between a Super Douluo and an ordinary Title Douluo!
Moreover, after absorbing the spirit ring and spirit bone, Yu Luomian's slightly graying hair and beard turned back to a thick black.
He looked as if he had rejuvenated by twenty or thirty years, transforming from a middle-aged man on the verge of old age back to his prime!
"Humans, now that you've absorbed the spirit ring and spirit bone, please leave quickly."
Just as Yu Luomian was about to share his joy, the Thunder Dragon Bear's voice rang out.
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen and the others, knowing this wasn't the place for conversation, prepared to leave.
Although they were leaving, they couldn't help but worry about Xiao Yu, who was deep within the Silent Thunder Gorge.
Despite having learned from the Thunder Dragon Bear that Xiao Yu had entered the Dragon Valley and that he would be safe there, the Dragon Valley was a place even the first clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had feared.
No matter how safe it seemed, they couldn't help but worry.
But now, no matter how much they worried, they could only leave.
After all, even if they entered the Dragon Valley, their strength would likely only hinder Xiao Yu rather than help him.
Soon after leaving the Silent Thunder Gorge, Yu Yuanzhen led Yu Luomian and Liu Erlong toward Heaven Dou City.
Aside from returning to the clan and waiting for Xiao Yu's return, there was nothing else they could do.
"Erlong, you should head back to the Blue Tyrant Academy. If there's any news about Xiao Yu, I'll notify you immediately."
Yu Yuanzhen spoke to Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong, her face pale, nodded without saying much.
Although she didn't show it, both Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian could tell that Liu Erlong wasn't in a good state.
As a result, the atmosphere among the three became somewhat heavy.
Even Yu Luomian's excitement over obtaining a 100,000-year spirit ring was dampened.
Just as Liu Erlong was lost in thought, she sensed a familiar aura below.
"Huh?! Why is Tang Yuehua here?"
Liu Erlong looked down at a forest path below, where a carriage was speeding along, and spoke in confusion.
"Tang Yuehua? From the Moon Pavilion?"
Hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Luomian also looked down with curiosity.
"Yes, Tang Yuehua, the master of the Moon Pavilion. When she voluntarily offered a tenth of the Moon Pavilion's profits to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, I didn't even dare to accept it. If it weren't for Erlong telling me it was arranged by Xiao Yu, I might have driven her away."
Yu Yuanzhen looked at the speeding carriage below, his tone complex.
Recalling the scene, Yu Yuanzhen felt a sense of helplessness.
At the time, it was as if a junior from a family that had long been at odds with them suddenly came to pay tribute, especially when that family was stronger than theirs. Anyone would instinctively be wary.
"Strange, why would Tang Yuehua come to a place like this? And there are two Title Douluo auras on that carriage."
Yu Yuanzhen asked, puzzled.
Yu Luomian also looked down with curiosity, and after a moment, a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Hmph, whatever the reason, Brother, Tang Yuehua is a gold mine. We can't let her be taken away so mysteriously. Let's go down and ask."
Hearing his brother's words, Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly. Matters concerning the family's development were not something he could ignore.
Recently, thanks to Tang Yuehua's financial support, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had seen significant improvements.
The cultivation resources for various clan members had also increased!
As the deputy clan leader, Yu Luomian naturally benefited the most.
However, Yu Yuanzhen turned to Yu Luomian with a strange expression.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Checking on Tang Yuehua is just an excuse. You want revenge, don't you? You've probably guessed who those two are."
Seeing through his brother's intentions, Yu Luomian didn't deny it and simply smiled.
"Hehe, it's just a bonus! Those two were so arrogant back then, relying on the Clear Sky Sect's reputation. I'm just settling an old score."
But before Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian could finish discussing, Liu Erlong had already flown toward the carriage!
"Whoa!!"
As Liu Erlong's fiery figure appeared in front of the carriage, the coachman, seeing her, immediately shouted in anger.
"Where did this crazy woman come from? Get out of the way! This is the carriage of the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect on the continent! How dare you block the Clear Sky Sect's carriage? Do you have a death wish?"
