"Elders, I will not absorb this Spirit Bone."
Yu Xiaogang's words caused Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder to reveal expressions of 'as expected'.
As for the other Elders, their eyes widened.
"Why?"
One Elder couldn't help but ask.
He did not believe that anyone could resist the temptation of a 50,000-year torso bone.
This was a treasure that countless people dreamed of!
"Elders, think about it for a moment. Is the current Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, a very generous person?"
Yu Xiaogang's words left the group of Elders somewhat confused; they hadn't reacted in time to why Yu Xiaogang's words had suddenly shifted to Qian Xunji.
"What do you mean?"
"Simply put, before the finals began, if you didn't know my situation, who could have imagined that Tang Hao would be defeated by my hands?"
Yu Xiaogang swept a glance at his father and the Grand Elder, who had smiles on their faces as if they had long anticipated this, and then looked at the other Elders who still had blank expressions.
He secretly thought to himself that it was no wonder these few hadn't held the position of Elder before.
Their brains simply didn't support them in serving as Elders.
"Everyone, why not put yourself in Qian Xunji's perspective?"
"In his view, this Spirit Master Competition, although it has an unusual existence like me, would he think that a Spirit Ancestor like me could defeat a Spirit Emperor like Tang Hao?"
The Elders shook their heads upon hearing this; if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that a Spirit Ancestor could defeat a Spirit Emperor.
"Therefore, knowing full well that Tang Hao would win, Qian Xunji still offered a 50,000-year torso bone as a reward."
"Elders, do you think Qian Xunji is the kind of fool who is stupid and has too much money?"
"Or is it that Spirit Hall is already on such good terms with the Clear Sky Sect that they would go so far as to give a 50,000-year torso bone to the Clear Sky Sect's future Clear Sky Douluo to Cultivate him?"
Yu Xiaogang's continuous questioning finally made the bewildered Elders react.
These two Spirit Bones were clearly intended by Qian Xunji to be delivered specifically into Tang Hao's hands.
It was just that this competition had an unreasonable guy like Yu Xiaogang, who snatched the championship away.
So, could these two Spirit Bones be anything good?
"This... if that's really the case, isn't Qian Xunji too sinister?"
One Elder felt a chill down his spine; he was a pure martial arts enthusiast and was usually very repulsed by such scheming matters.
"Actually, it's normal. Back when Tang Chen rampaged across the continent, except for Qian Daoliu who had the strength to fight him, everyone else was suppressed by him to the point they couldn't lift their heads."
"As Qian Daoliu's son, seeing his own invincible father defeated by Tang Chen, how could Qian Xunji not be wary of the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Especially since this Tang Hao received praise from Tang Chen, who declared that in the future, Tang Hao would be able to inherit the title of Clear Sky Douluo."
"So it's understandable that Qian Xunji doesn't want the Clear Sky Sect to produce another Tang Chen."
The Grand Elder looked approving of Qian Xunji's actions.
If it were him, he would do something similar.
No one wants to see a guy appear in another Sect in the future who can stand on their head and do whatever he wants.
"So, can this Spirit Bone not be absorbed?"
Another Elder looked at the 50,000-year torso bone with a pained expression; this was a 50,000-year torso bone!
A 50,000-year torso bone!
"At least until it's clear what kind of traps this Spirit Bone has, it's better not to absorb it."
Yu Xiaogang stroked the Spirit Bone in his hand, his mind already beginning to fantasize about how he would dismantle these two Spirit Bones.
Yu Yuanzhen and the Grand Elder on the side naturally saw through Yu Xiaogang's intentions.
Although the two felt pained, they thought of the structures Yu Xiaogang had shown them after dismantling Spirit Bones, and how he used these structures, combined with his own First Spirit Skill, to construct a Clone capable of using Spirit Abilities.
As long as there are enough structures, the functionality of his Clone will become more Heaven-Defying.
Thinking of this, although the two still felt pained, they could console themselves.
"At least this Spirit Bone helped Xiaogang become stronger, so it's not a loss."
Just like that, the Elders no longer persuaded Yu Xiaogang to absorb the Spirit Bone, and Yu Xiaogang could safely put the Spirit Bone away, waiting to dismantle the structure within this Spirit Bone in the future.
With the conclusion of the Spirit Master Competition, Yu Xiaogang's daily life returned to being busy once again.
Various research projects, countless knowledge waiting to be learned, and daily Soul Power Cultivate—in this continuous busyness, Yu Xiaogang's age was about to reach fifteen.
And before he was fifteen, Yu Xiaogang's Soul Power reached level 50.
Regarding the spirit ring selection for level 50, Yu Xiaogang's goal was exceptionally clear: a Spirit Ability with maxed-out attack power.
After repeated selection, a Spirit Beast named Light War God Tiger was determined as the final target.
The Light War God Tiger, as one can tell from the name, has the Light Attribute and belongs to the category of ferocious tigers.
And being able to be crowned with the title of War God is enough to show that this kind of Spirit Beast is an existence with terrifying combat power.
Its powerful combat strength relies on several of its maxed-out attack skills.
As long as any one of these skills could be transformed into Yu Xiaogang's own Spirit Ability, he could directly compensate for his lack of attack power.
Just like that, Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Xiaogang, along with a few Elders from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and embarked on the path of Soul Hunting.
After some searching, everyone found the target.
A ferocious tiger with pure white fur and golden stripes was slowly wandering in the forest.
Seeing the arrival of Yu Yuanzhen's party, that Light War God Tiger showed no fear at all; it just let out a roar and then began to fight.
Yu Xiaogang, hiding in the distance, watched the fighting figure of the Light War God Tiger and could only sigh in his heart that this Spirit Beast was worthy of its name as a War God.
With a 70,000-year age, it fought his own Elders who were at the Titled Douluo level to the point they couldn't lift their heads.
It's just outrageous!
But unfortunately, the Elders present had the Sect Master, Yu Yuanzhen, holding the line, and they also had some methods of their own; even if they fell into a disadvantage, there were other Elders to assist.
In the end, the Light War God Tiger was defeated by the joint efforts of the several Elders.
Although the Light War God Tiger failed to achieve victory, it also caused great damage to the several Elders.
One Elder was seriously injured, and the other Elders were all wounded as well.
From this, one can see just how powerful the Light War God Tiger was—it was being besieged by a group of Titled Douluo.
"Alright, Xiaogang, go absorb your fifth spirit ring."
Seeing that the Light War God Tiger had been completely subdued, Yu Yuanzhen patted Yu Xiaogang's shoulder and said.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and ended the life of the Light War God Tiger. The spirit ring appeared, and Yu Xiaogang skillfully began to absorb the spirit ring.
A moment later, light emerged from Yu Xiaogang's body, enveloping his entire person.
Seeing this scene, everyone understood that Yu Xiaogang had evolved again.
