[With the help of the Crimson Blood Amber, Little Dragon finally overcame its innate deficiencies and completed the Spirit Awakening it was always meant to undergo.]
[Everyone waited quietly outside the secret chamber. Before long, Little Dragon emerged.]
[It was still no larger than a kitten.]
[At first glance, its appearance seemed almost unchanged.]
[Yet, for some inexplicable reason, everyone instinctively felt that it was completely different from before.]
[Although the physical changes were subtle, the aura surrounding Little Dragon had transformed dramatically.]
[After observing it for a while, Yu Yuanzhen and the others finally understood why.]
[Little Dragon no longer radiated only the Light Attribute.]
[Alongside it was an indescribable sense of holiness and brilliance that naturally emanated from its body.]
[Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder exchanged glances, both seeing the same astonishment in each other's eyes.]
[This mysterious aura was not something an ordinary Martial Spirit could possess.]
[Across the entire Douluo Continent, only a handful of Martial Spirits displayed similar characteristics.]
[For example, Spirit Hall's Angel Martial Spirit naturally inspired feelings of holiness, justice, and purity the moment it appeared.]
[Likewise, the Ye Family's Nine Heart Begonia Martial Spirit from Heaven Dou City radiated boundless vitality and life.]
[Yu Yuanzhen's evolved Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Spirit was another example. Whenever it released its Destruction Lightning, it filled everyone nearby with overwhelming fear, as though it possessed the power to annihilate everything in its path.]
[To be honest, neither Yu Yuanzhen nor the Grand Elder truly understood what this mysterious feeling represented.]
[The Grand Elder had once speculated that it might be a unique characteristic of Ultimate Attributes.]
[However, that theory was quickly rejected.]
[After all, everyone knew that the Nine Heart Begonia did not possess the Ultimate Life Attribute.]
[As the continent's greatest healing Martial Spirit, countless healing Spirit Masters had visited the Ye Family over the years.]
[Never once had anyone claimed that the Nine Heart Begonia suppressed the attributes of other healing Martial Spirits.]
[Although they still couldn't identify the true nature of this mysterious quality or understand what it represented, one fact remained undeniable.]
[Every Martial Spirit that possessed such an aura was extraordinarily powerful.]
[The Angel Martial Spirit required no further explanation. The Qian Family's supreme status within Spirit Hall spoke for itself.]
[The Nine Heart Begonia was recognized as the greatest healing Martial Spirit on the Douluo Continent.]
[It was often said that if a Spirit Master of equal rank fought alongside a Nine Heart Begonia user, death itself would become nearly impossible.]
[Such miraculous healing abilities were almost beyond belief.]
[However, this incredible power came with a heavy price.]
[The Nine Heart Begonia could only be inherited by a single bloodline.]
[At any given time, only two living Nine Heart Begonia Spirit Masters could exist within the Ye Family.]
[If those two positions were already occupied, no matter how talented the younger generation might be, none of them could awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Spirit.]
[Because of this severe limitation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had never truly viewed the Ye Family as a serious threat to its title as the continent's greatest support Spirit.]
[Many Spirit Masters had sighed in regret over the years.]
[If the Nine Heart Begonia could be inherited normally like other Martial Spirits, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might never have earned the title of the world's number one support Spirit.]
[Then there was Yu Yuanzhen's own evolved Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, whose evolution had even attracted the descent of a god.]
[All of these examples proved one thing.]
[Martial Spirits capable of possessing such mysterious qualities were truly extraordinary.]
[And now, Little Dragon had joined their ranks.]
["So... what exactly is this?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen frowned deeply.]
[As the Sect Master of one of the Upper Three Sects, he naturally preferred having everything under his control.]
[Unknown variables made him deeply uncomfortable.]
[The Grand Elder simply shrugged.]
["Who knows? All we need to understand is that Martial Spirits with this kind of aura are exceptionally powerful."]
["When you get the chance, ask Xiaogang to research it. Few people on the Douluo Continent understand the true nature of Martial Spirits better than he does."]
[Yu Yuanzhen nodded thoughtfully and silently committed the matter to memory.]
[He had a strong feeling that this mysterious quality would one day prove extremely important to Spirit Masters.]
[Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang had also noticed the subtle transformation in Little Dragon.]
[Suppressing his curiosity for the moment, he slowly walked toward it.]
[Little Dragon happily rushed into his arms.]
[The instant they touched, both man and dragon froze.]
["...This feeling..."]
[Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened.]
[Seeing his stunned expression, the Grand Elder immediately stepped forward.]
["What's wrong? Did something happen?"]
[Yu Xiaogang gently stroked Little Dragon's head, unable to suppress the smile spreading across his face.]
["It's nothing bad."]
["I just feel... that my connection with Little Dragon has become much deeper than before."]
[The Grand Elder looked confused.]
["Closer?"]
["But Little Dragon is your Martial Spirit. Aren't the two of you already connected as one?"]
["How can that bond become even stronger?"]
[Unable to figure it out himself, he simply waited patiently for Yu Xiaogang's explanation.]
[Yu Yuanzhen was equally curious.]
[However, noticing Yang Lie standing nearby with obvious interest, he smiled helplessly.]
["Yang Lie, thank you for today's assistance."]
["You may return now."]
["A suitable reward will be delivered to your residence later."]
[Although Yang Lie belonged to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was not part of its inner circle.]
[Yu Yuanzhen believed that anything concerning his son should remain confidential whenever possible.]
[The abilities Yu Xiaogang had already displayed were enough to shock the entire Douluo Continent.]
[He had no desire to place even greater pressure upon his son.]
[Sometimes, excessive attention could become deadly.]
[Yang Lie concealed the disappointment on his face and respectfully bowed.]
["Thank you, Sect Master."]
["I am grateful for the trust placed in me by you, the Young Sect Master, and the Grand Elder."]
["Should you ever require my assistance again, I will answer your call immediately."]
[After Yang Lie departed, Yu Xiaogang resumed his explanation.]
["I always believed my bond with Little Dragon was already complete."]
["After all, Little Dragon is my Martial Spirit."]
["It has accompanied me in research, cultivation, and countless battles."]
["We've always fought side by side."]
[He paused briefly before continuing.]
["But today..."]
["I finally realized that the bond between us was missing one final and most important step."]
["It's something every Beast Spirit Master should naturally possess..."]
["...yet, for reasons I still don't understand, I never had it until now."]
