Chapter 232 - Chapter 232 The Grand Elder Absorbs the Soul Ring and the Soul Bone of the Red Fang Thunder Wolf

[The Moon Devouring Azure Wolf's hundred-thousand-year spirit bone was in hand, a cold sensation emanating from it.]

["I really didn't expect to obtain a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone just like this."]

[Yu Yuanzhen sighed with emotion.]

[The hundred-thousand-year spirit bone dropped by the Moon Devouring Azure Wolf was a Left Arm Bone. Although he didn't know what skills were within it, the boost provided by a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone alone was already immense.]

["I already have a Left Arm Bone, so it seems this one belongs to Xiaogang."]

["Tsk tsk, should I say he truly is a person who has gathered the Luck of this era? Spirit Bones are practically rushing to be delivered into his hands."]

[Yu Yuanzhen thought to himself.]

[He was now on the verge of believing ARou's rhetoric completely.]

[Otherwise, there was no way to explain how Spirit Bones, which ordinary Spirit Masters wouldn't see once in a lifetime, were now appearing before him in clusters.]

[Of course, Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't forget ARou's words: in such a turbulent era of competition, Luck gradually converges upon those extraordinary geniuses.]

[Given how his son started out, even if he possessed Luck, he certainly couldn't compare to people like Bibi Dong or the Clear Sky Sect's Tang Hao.]

[It was his son's determination to risk everything that brought about a turning point for him.]

[And then, bit by bit, more Luck gathered, leading to the many gains during this trip to the Sunset Forest.]

[If his son had chosen to give up before obtaining his first spirit ring back then, the Luck on him would have likely flowed away to who knows where.]

[Caressing the Spirit Bone in his hand, Yu Yuanzhen's thoughts drifted away. Just then, the Grand Elder arrived in a hurry.]

["Sect Master..."]

[Upon arriving at the scene, the first things the Grand Elder saw were the figures of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.]

[Although he was still startled by their Aura, he had seen them before, so he was able to remain calm for now.]

[Then, there was Yu Yuanzhen, standing next to a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, holding a Spirit Bone and lost in thought.]

[*Gulp*]

[He swallowed hard, but the Grand Elder still felt his throat was incredibly dry.]

[A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring—that was the ultimate dream of all Spirit Masters!]

[Now, a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring waiting to be absorbed was laid out so openly right in front of him.]

[Coincidentally, he was exactly at rank 90 and hadn't absorbed a ninth spirit ring yet.]

[To be honest, the Grand Elder really wanted to step forward and absorb this hundred-thousand-year spirit ring right now.]

["Grand Elder, you're here."]

[Hearing the Grand Elder's voice, Yu Yuanzhen snapped out of it. He glanced at the Grand Elder and immediately noticed that longing gaze.]

["Snap out of it, Grand Elder. You cannot withstand this hundred-thousand-year spirit ring."]

[Yu Yuanzhen poured a bucket of cold water over the Grand Elder's hopes.]

[Yu Yuanzhen knew the Grand Elder's situation all too well.]

[Although he had the optimal spirit ring configuration, he didn't have any rings that exceeded the standard limits, nor did he have any Spirit Bones.]

[At the Grand Elder's level, if it were a spirit ring that had just reached a hundred thousand years, Yu Yuanzhen might have gritted his teeth and let him try.]

[But the age of that Moon Devouring Azure Wolf wasn't just barely a hundred thousand years.]

[According to the information Yu Yuanzhen had gathered from ARou and the others, this Moon Devouring Azure Wolf was at least around one hundred and fifty thousand years old.]

[This age far exceeded the limit of what the Grand Elder could withstand.]

[As for absorbing the Moon Devouring Azure Wolf's hundred-thousand-year spirit bone to improve his physical constitution before absorbing the spirit ring...]

[Setting aside whether the Grand Elder was willing, time didn't allow them to do so.]

[Absorbing a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone takes a certain amount of time, and the duration a spirit ring can be maintained is definitely not enough to support the Grand Elder until he finishes absorbing the Spirit Bone.]

[In other words, they couldn't consume this hundred-thousand-year spirit ring no matter what.]

["I... I just feel terrible."]

[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, the Grand Elder's face scrunched up.]

[A hundred-thousand-year spirit ring was right before them, yet they could only watch. Who could bear that?]

["Tell me about it."]

[Yu Yuanzhen curled his lip. Only those who truly had a chance to absorb a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring would feel this miserable.]

["Alright, alright. The gains this time are already plenty. You've got a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, and you'll still get a ninth spirit ring that suits you."]

["With so many rewards, being too greedy won't do."]

[Yu Yuanzhen patted the Grand Elder's shoulder and then forcibly pulled him away from the location of the hundred-thousand-year spirit ring.]

[Led by Yu Yuanzhen, the Grand Elder arrived before the dying Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf, looking back every few steps.]

[Sighing, the Grand Elder took out his weapon and ended the Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf's life. A black spirit ring tinged with specks of crimson rose up.]

[Adjusting his emotions, the Grand Elder channeled the Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf's spirit ring toward himself, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began absorbing his ninth spirit ring.]

[On the other side, Yu Yuanzhen searched the carcass as usual.]

[Since the Moon Devouring Azure Wolf's hundred-thousand-year spirit ring couldn't be absorbed, Yu Yuanzhen's interest hadn't been very high while searching.]

[But soon, he froze.]

[Because this Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf had dropped something.]

[Looking at the light of a Spirit Bone shimmering within the wound on the Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf's Right Arm, Yu Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, then his mouth fell wide open.]

["Holy crap!"]

[This phrase was something Yu Yuanzhen had learned from his son. When Yu Xiaogang first said it, Yu Yuanzhen had asked him what it meant.]

[Yu Xiaogang only said that when one encountered a particularly shocking situation, this phrase would naturally slip out.]

[At that time, Yu Yuanzhen hadn't understood.]

[But now, he did.]

[A Spirit Bone had been dug out by him just like that.]

[At a time when he had not a shred of expectation or preparation.]

[Of course, although Yu Yuanzhen was shocked that the Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf had dropped a Spirit Bone, he had been exposed to so many Spirit Bones recently that he had become somewhat desensitized. Thus, his emotions soon calmed down.]

[The Spirit Bone dropped by a Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf nearly eighty thousand years old—since the Grand Elder was absorbing the spirit ring, the Spirit Bone should naturally go to him as well.]

[With the precedent of Yu Xiaogang's third spirit ring and that Spirit Bone, Yu Yuanzhen looked forward to seeing what kind of boost this Spirit Bone would bring to the Grand Elder.]

["A Spirit Bone dropped? Your Luck is quite good."]

[ARou, who was nearby, heard Yu Yuanzhen's exclamation and came over to check the situation, then noticed the Red-Toothed Thunder Wolf's Spirit Bone.]

["It is pretty good."]

[Yu Yuanzhen, whose emotions had returned to calm, nodded, but he was muttering to himself.]

["Xiaogang isn't even here, yet I managed to find a Spirit Bone."]

["Looking at it this way, has a certain amount of Luck gathered on me as well?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen shook his head, having already made up his mind that he absolutely could not snatch his son's Opportunity to become a god.]

[As for the matter of his own Godhood, Yu Yuanzhen decided to gamble on the God of Destruction being a super big shot who could allow him to become a god without relying on Luck.]

[If he really won that gamble, it would be extraordinary.]

[In other families, having two Douluos in one clan would already cause a sensation on the continent.]

[But in his case, it would become Two Gods in One Family.]

[If this succeeded, no matter how many years passed, the names of both father and son would be passed down through the ages on the Douluo Continent.]
