Dragon City. Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Ever since the Dragon Catching Convention concluded, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had been gloating over the bountiful harvest of true dragon bloodline soul beasts and medicinal herbs they secured this time.
However, reality quickly slapped them right in the face.
With the publication of multiple research papers regarding self-condensing soul rings and soul tools, Yu Yuanzhen, the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, was throwing a massive fit of headaches.
The last time Xiao Yan published a paper, it forced the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to share their secret medicinal bath formula with the public. Because of that, a portion of the clan members had even gone into seclusion to hide from the fallout.
Now, two completely new types of papers had emerged.
The self-condensing soul ring paper went without saying. Yu Yuanzhen could tell that the two sets of data in the text didn't seem faked at all; someone had truly succeeded in self-condensing a soul ring. Furthermore, the overall effects were actually slightly better than conventional soul rings.
Since self-condensing soul rings were just in their infancy, Yu Yuanzhen believed that if other forces wanted to get a head start, they would definitely begin with pure attack-type soul rings.
How could this not worry Yu Yuanzhen?
He was terrified that rival factions would master the perfect self-condensing attack-type soul ring. Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, relied precisely on ultimate burst damage and lightning control.
If they didn't catch this train of self-condensing soul rings right now, would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect be overtaken by newcomers?
Yu Yuanzhen felt that this was a very real possibility.
Aside from that, the paper on soul tools was basically dancing right on the face of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Those things called stationary soul cannon shells and electromagnetic cannons—weren't those just powerful attacks of the lightning attribute?
That fellow named Xiao Yan hadn't described most of the soul tool weapons very clearly in his paper. However, when it came to electrical appliances—well, let's just call them electrical appliances for now—that fellow Xiao Yan understood them way too well.
He even babbled about things like alternating current and direct current...
Even he, Yu Yuanzhen, a man who played with lightning for a living, had never heard of such concepts. What if some formidable beast martial soul masters learned the contents of that paper in the future? Would they turn into a Blue Lightning White Tiger Sect?
A Blue Lightning Diamond Mammoth Sect? Or even a Blue Lightning Flying Sword Sect?
The mere thought of it sent a shiver down Yu Yuanzhen's spine.
Turning his head, Yu Yuanzhen looked toward Yu Luomian.
"Luomian, what do you think?"
Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's inquiry, Yu Luomian pursed his lips.
He didn't understand a single thing about this stuff, so what was he supposed to say?
After a brief pause, Yu Luomian turned his gaze toward Yu Tianheng, who had just returned not long ago and was preparing a medicinal bath to obtain his next soul ring.
"Tianheng, what's your take on this?"
"Uh..." Yu Tianheng scratched his head, looking completely speechless.
How did a matter of such monumental importance to the sect suddenly get dragged onto him?
Yu Tianheng had only told Yu Luomian and the others that he had encountered a lucky chance in the Star Dou Forest, causing his martial soul to undergo a mutation. He hadn't expected everyone in the sect to treat him with such immense importance the moment he returned.
"Grandpa, I think we should just do what everyone else is doing. Let the sect try experimenting with self-condensing soul rings based on the contents of the paper."
Yu Tianheng had no intention of revealing the relationship between Xiao Lin and Grandmaster Xiao Yan, so he just brushed it off with a casual response.
"True. Doing exactly what the other sects are doing ensures we won't make a wrong move at the very least."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Yu Tianheng with a face full of doting affection.
"Tianheng, you are the most talented child in our sect. The future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will rely entirely on you. You must work hard."
"Yes," Yu Tianheng responded respectfully.
"Alright. I heard you came back this time preparing to obtain a soul ring. Which one was it again?" Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, not caring for tedious formalities.
"The Heavenly Dragon Horse! It's said to be a soul beast soul ring that possesses the bloodline of the Light Holy Dragon."
Hearing Yu Tianheng's words, Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly before nodding.
"Good. Then let your Second Grandpa take you to obtain it."
"Yes."
"You may dismiss."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Watching Yu Tianheng leave the room, a sharp flash of lightning suddenly burst from Yu Yuanzhen's eyes.
"That child Tianheng lied."
Suddenly, Yu Yuanzhen blurted out these words.
Having watched Yu Tianheng grow up since childhood, how could Yu Yuanzhen fail to see the hesitation and concealment behind his words?
"Big Brother, we watched Tianheng grow up with our own eyes. He wouldn't lie to us, would he?"
Yu Luomian was startled.
He simply couldn't believe that a good child like Yu Tianheng would lie, nor did he know what reason Tianheng could possibly have to do so. What exactly did he lie about?
"Well, it doesn't matter. Tianheng won't do anything to harm the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. I believe in him. He has his own future, and our sect must not interfere with him from now on."
Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, acting as if nothing was wrong.
Not long after, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect also issued an order to begin experimenting with self-condensing soul rings.
The Residence of Xue Qinghe.
At this moment, Xue Qinghe was reading Xiao Yan's newly published paper word by word, with absolute concentration. After a long time, Xue Qinghe finally set down the Spirit Hall Journal, lifting his head to murmur softly.
"Self-condensing soul rings, soul tools..."
Xue Qinghe's—or rather, Qian Renxue's—face was filled with a complex expression.
With her vision, she could naturally see what kind of impact these papers would bring to the world of soul masters, and even to the entire Douluo Continent. Like Bibi Dong, she too realized the unique nature of self-condensing soul rings.
It wasn't that soul masters hadn't tried this kind of thing in the past; it was just that they had all failed. This "failure," of course, was a conclusion reached only after comparing past attempts to the two sets of data provided in the paper.
What confused Qian Renxue even more was that unless this self-condensing soul ring method came from a Godly Inheritance, the only other way to gather such experience would be from the self-condensing soul rings of transformed soul beasts.
Therefore, aside from her complicated feelings, Qian Renxue also felt a sense of bewilderment. For a moment, she didn't even know what she should be doing.
As someone recognized by the Angelic God, was it really right for her to come here, disguise herself as the Crown Prince, and waste her time? The future of the continent was entirely unpredictable now.
Would others achieve Godhood? What would happen to Spirit Hall in the future?
Spirit Hall had published so many of Grandmaster Xiao Yan's papers, which had already won over the hearts of the common people. How was she supposed to take Spirit Hall back from Bibi Dong's hands?
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but clench her fists tightly.
"Your Highness."
Suddenly, Qian Renxue was snapped out of her thoughts by a familiar voice.
She turned her head in excitement. Porcupine Douluo, Elder Ci Xue, was standing behind her, bowing slightly.
"Elder Ci Xue, how did it go?" Qian Renxue asked inquisitively.
"Your Highness, Xiao Lin has returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy."
Receiving Ci Xue's answer, a smile finally appeared on Qian Renxue's face.
"Fantastic. Although Teacher didn't say anything, I have already seen through it all."
"The changes in the members of the Heaven Dou Emperor Team were all brought about by Xiao Lin and his group, and from the looks of it, the primary reason is still Xiao Lin," Qian Renxue said with a trace of excitement.
"Your Highness, I don't understand. Why..."
"Elder Ci Xue, I suspect that Xiao Lin is Grandmaster Xiao Yan's grandson," Qian Renxue smiled slightly, speaking in a mysterious tone.
"Although Tang San also possesses incredible skills, his surname isn't Xiao after all. Besides, Tang San is quite rigid; one look at him and you can tell he doesn't understand Grandmaster Xiao Yan's theories."
"Alright, I won't go into details. Next, this Crown Prince will personally invite Xiao Lin. I want him to join my faction."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Ci Xue came to a sudden realization and said with some excitement, "If we can secure Xiao Lin, and obtain the support of Grandmaster Xiao Yan, Your Highness..."
"Keep that to yourself..."
Qian Renxue smiled gently, then requested of Ci Xue, "Elder Ci Xue, I do not wish for that person to know about my pursuit of Xiao Lin."
"Understood!"
On the surface, the Douluo Continent remained calm and peaceful, but underneath, undercurrents were raging wildly.
