["Xiaogang, you..."]
[Yu Yuanzhen gazed into Yu Xiaogang's eyes, his lips feeling somewhat dry.]
[At this moment, he could even clearly feel his heart thumping wildly within his chest.]
["Father."]
[Yu Xiaogang reached out and took his father's hand. Comparing it to his own, Yu Yuanzhen's palm was broad and rough; with his current hand size, he could only grasp one of Yu Yuanzhen's fingers.]
[But Yu Xiaogang was very happy; he could finally touch his family in this life.]
[He had heard Yu Yuanzhen's companionship over the past five years; it was impossible not to be moved.]
[When he first underwent Transmigration, Yu Xiaogang felt lost regarding everything on the Douluo Continent.]
[Back then, learning that he couldn't control his body because his spirit was too powerful, Yu Xiaogang even felt a bit relieved.]
[Because of that, he wouldn't have to interact with his family in this life.]
[But as he grew day by day, Yu Yuanzhen always cared for him.]
[From his initial resistance to later acceptance, and then wanting to break free from this uncontrollable state of his body.]
[Yu Xiaogang gradually accepted Yu Yuanzhen as his father and wanted to touch him with his own hands.]
[And it wasn't until today that this wish was finally realized.]
["Xiao... Xiaogang, have you really... really regained your senses?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen's voice carried an irrepressible excitement.]
["Yes."]
[Yu Xiaogang nodded, responding to his father.]
["Hahaha, wonderful! I knew it, I knew you could do it!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen rushed forward and lifted Yu Xiaogang high, his face overflowing with a hearty smile.]
["Father, put me down quickly!"]
[The suddenly lifted Yu Xiaogang struggled as he spoke. He was someone who had lived through two lives, after all; he'd rather skip this kind of interaction.]
Black World, Shrek Academy.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang stared at the interaction between the now-lucid Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang and Yu Yuanzhen on the heavenly curtain, feeling an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
"Hmph, he only regained his senses at over five years old and is having his Martial Soul Awakening at six. I'll see what kind of junk he can awaken; I bet he won't even be as good as me!"
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang let out a cold snort, speaking almost through gritted teeth.
Beside him, Flender was momentarily speechless upon hearing this.
If he weren't good brothers with Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, he would have wanted to mock Yu Xiaogang just like Zhao Wuji and the others.
Please, the guy eventually became a Titled Douluo. So what if his Awakening is worse than yours?
Also standing aside without speaking was Yu Xiaogang's prized Disciple, Tang San.
He stared blankly at the father-son interaction on the heavenly curtain, a sour flame of envy gradually rising in his heart.
It wasn't that he wanted to be like this with his own father, Tang Hao.
He just thought about the days he spent in Saint Spirit Village during those years.
From the time he could remember, he had taken on all the household chores.
Chopping wood, lighting the fire, cooking, cleaning—every single task was completed by him alone.
His father, Tang Hao, drank all day and didn't care about anything.
And what about that Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang?
His Titled Douluo father took care of him and worried about him all day long.
He didn't have to do anything to receive his father's love and care.
They were both children; wasn't it said that sensible children are the ones family likes best?
Then why was he so sensible, yet the gap between him and others was so large?
At this moment, even though Tang San considered himself a mature person, he couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy and resentment toward the Yu Xiaogang on the heavenly curtain.
Why?
Tang San, who had always been considered the model child, felt for the first time that the heavens were truly unfair to him.
[The Video continues...]
[The news of Yu Xiaogang regaining his senses shook the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. As the son of the sect master, even though Yu Xiaogang had been dim-witted before, there was no lack of people paying attention to him.]
["I didn't expect him to actually return to normal, and just in time for the Martial Soul Awakening."]
["Hey, what kind of Spirit do you think our son of the sect master will awaken?"]
["Who knows? But it's best not to get your hopes up. With the way he was before, what kind of good Spirit could he possibly awaken?"]
["True."]
["..."]
[The Sect Disciples were buzzing with discussion, especially since it was almost time for Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Awakening.]
[However, because of how Yu Xiaogang had been previously, not many people held any expectations for him.]
[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Sect Master's residence.]
["Father, what do you think would happen if I started to Cultivate before the Martial Soul Awakening?"]
[Having regained his senses and now able to control his body, Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen.]
[Having undergone Transmigration to the Douluo Continent, although Yu Xiaogang wasn't very familiar with the plot, he knew that his body's talent was poor.]
[So, before his Spirit had even awakened, he had to do something.]
["Hmm? You want to start to Cultivate before the Martial Soul Awakening? Why?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at his son in confusion.]
["Father, although I was in a daze before, I could hear the things you told me about the Douluo Continent."]
["Martial Soul Awakening determines a person's future. Given my situation..."]
[Yu Xiaogang didn't finish his sentence, but Yu Yuanzhen understood.]
[His son was afraid of Awakening a poor Spirit and becoming the laughingstock of the Sect once again.]
["Xiaogang, don't worry. With me here, it doesn't matter how poor the Spirit you awaken is."]
["I am a Titled Douluo; I'll see who dares to mock you!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen spoke with an overbearing air. He had the qualifications and the ability to say such things.]
[However, hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Xiaogang shook his head.]
["I'm not worried about them mocking me, but I can't stand them mocking you."]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen was stunned.]
[He couldn't stand them mocking him?]
["To become a Titled Douluo, Father, you must have always been someone people looked up to."]
["Especially since you are the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects."]
["But my appearance has become a blemish on your life."]
[Yu Xiaogang's expression was somewhat dejected.]
[After his Transmigration, Yu Yuanzhen's care and protection had made Yu Xiaogang gradually accept this father.]
[After accepting Yu Yuanzhen, the mockery that used to sound insignificant to him became particularly piercing.]
[If they mocked him, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have much of a reaction; as an orphan in his previous life, he had experienced far too many complicated things.]
[But if they mocked his father, Yu Xiaogang could not accept it.]
[Yet the tragic thing was, Yu Xiaogang had no way to stop this mockery.]
[Because they were using him to mock Yu Yuanzhen, whose life was otherwise nearly flawless.]
[To wash away this blemish, either the blemish must never have existed, or it must be made to shine brilliantly.]
[So brilliant that no one would ever consider it a blemish again.]
