Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 : Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's Life Before Age Six

Aside from Yu Xiaogang himself, anyone who knew the truth about his specific situation could not help but show expressions of pure disbelief. This included his father, Yu Yuanzhen, who was the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. They all watched the screen where a different version of Yu Xiaogang was being compared to the one they knew. The impact of the title shown on the screen was simply too great for them to handle.

A man they all knew as a waste had actually become a Titled Douluo in another world. The gap between the two versions of the man was no exaggeration to describe as the difference between heaven and earth. Because of this, even though the heavenly curtain had not yet started its full broadcast, everyone was already looking forward to it. They wanted to see exactly how this Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang had changed his fate against the heavens. Soon, the images began to play for everyone to see.

The screen displayed a title: Now broadcasting Yu Xiaogang. The scene opened in a certain courtyard within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. A loud cry of a baby echoed through the air. Accompanied by that cry, a newborn infant arrived on the Douluo Continent. His father, Yu Yuanzhen, named him Yu Xiaogang with a heart full of excitement. As the son of the Sect Master and the son of the only Titled Douluo in the entire Sect, Yu Xiaogang was highly anticipated by everyone from the moment he was born.

In the images, the Elders were pleasant and kind whenever they saw Yu Xiaogang. The powerful Spirit Masters of the Sect were respectful to the young boy. Even the members of the younger generation constantly tried to curry favor with him. It could be said that at that time, Yu Xiaogang was the absolute core of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Watching the Elders being kind to him and the powerful members of his family being so respectful made the real Yu Xiaogang clench his fists tight. His eyes became bloodshot as he watched the younger generation try to please his younger self. What could be a more bone-deep mockery than these images? After all, who on the entire Douluo Continent did not know what the young boy in the images would become in the future? Everyone knew he was loved by the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect then, but they also knew his current reality.

Beside him, Tang San watched Yu Xiaogang's body tremble. He glanced at the heavenly curtain with cold and dark eyes. He felt protective of his teacher and thought to himself that he didn't know which powerhouse was behind this, but they already found a way to seek their own death.

The screen continued to show the young boy's life. Being favored and loved by everyone, Yu Xiaogang naturally developed an arrogant attitude. He took the kindness of the Elders for granted. Even though he had not awakened his Spirit yet, he unceremoniously accepted the respect of the powerhouses in the family. As for the younger generation's attempts to please him, he directly showed them disdain. In his view, as the son of a Titled Douluo, he would surely become a top powerhouse of the Sect in the future. He believed he would make a name for himself across the Douluo Continent. He felt that those who could befriend someone like him had to be geniuses. Therefore, for those who wanted to gain his favor, he would not even give a proper look to anyone whose Innate Spirit Power was below level seven.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's attitude toward those trying to please him, the people across the Douluo Continent erupted into a frenzy. Many people began to talk and mock the screen. One person shouted that it was a good grief and asked if Yu Xiaogang really wouldn't look at someone with Innate Spirit Power below level seven. They wondered if people with level two or three were even worthy of appearing before him.

Another person pointed out that he was the son of a Titled Douluo after all. They said that if someone had a father like that, they would probably be even more arrogant than him. However, someone else spat on the ground and called it a joke. They said they knew this guy and that he was just a waste at level twenty-nine who could not break through to level thirty. They didn't know where he got the nerve to act so high and mighty.

A surprised voice asked how it was possible that he couldn't break through level thirty since his father was a Titled Douluo. The reply was quick, stating that Martial Soul Awakening does not care if you are the son of a Titled Douluo or not. Others laughed and said it was interesting. They wondered if the people he looked down on now would mock him to death after his Martial Soul Awakening.

On the screen, the members of the Sect saw Yu Xiaogang's attitude toward them. Although some were very dissatisfied, they ultimately said nothing because they feared Yu Yuanzhen. When Yu Xiaogang reached the age to learn to read and write, his father made arrangements for him. Yu Xiaogang began to study knowledge related to Spirit Masters. He was very interested in this knowledge. Things like Spirits and Spirit Rings often triggered his deep thinking and curiosity.

The young Yu Xiaogang asked his father why the family's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit must use a specific Spirit Ring ratio. He asked if it would be better if they swapped them for Spirit Rings from other Spirit Beasts. These questions left Yu Yuanzhen between laughter and tears. He explained that the Spirit Ring combination for their Spirit was the optimal pairing. It was determined through countless years of family history and the efforts of many people.

By relying on this set of Spirit Ring ratios, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect could stably produce strong powerhouses. This was the big advantage of being a family Sect. As for those scattered Spirit Masters without backgrounds, their Spirit Ring acquisition was entirely dependent on luck. If they did not have professional guidance, they had no idea what Spirit Abilities they would get. Many Spirit Masters who clearly had decent talent ultimately failed to achieve much because of this reason. Looking at his son's confused expression, Yu Yuanzhen just smiled and brushed him off. He did not explain the complex details to the young boy yet. In his view, Yu Xiaogang would have him to oversee things. His son would not be like those scattered Spirit Masters who chose the wrong Spirit Rings and delayed their path to becoming stronger.

The real Yu Xiaogang looked at his father's smile on the heavenly curtain. He suppressed the resentment in his heart and turned to talk to Tang San. He asked if Tang San understood now and told him this was why he should listen to his teacher more when acquiring Spirit Rings. He explained that only someone with rich experience can arrange a future path and prevent someone from going astray. He warned Tang San never to underestimate the acquisition of Spirit Rings because they relate to his future and his entire life. He said that in this regard, not a single mistake can be made.

On the other side of the continent, inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong watched the screen. She looked at the young Yu Xiaogang, and her expression became somewhat dazed. She whispered to herself that he had already begun researching Spirits from such a young age. She felt it was a pity that the entire Douluo Continent was full of blind fools who couldn't see his worth. Bibi Dong recalled the Yu Xiaogang who had come to Spirit Hall to study in the library years ago. A deep longing for him arose in her heart as she watched the images.

In the Sect Master's room of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Yuanzhen also felt a sense of helplessness. He watched the young Yu Xiaogang on the screen with a heavy heart. He had planned out the entire path for his son, but unfortunately, because of the boy's Spirit mutation, everything had failed. Because of this, Yu Yuanzhen was even more curious about the Dragon God Douluo version of Yu Xiaogang. He wondered how an identical Douluo Continent could change so much simply because of one person's choices. He wanted to know what kind of choice could allow his son to become a Titled Douluo.

Yu Yuanzhen was very curious. His thoughts were actually similar to Tang San's. He assumed that some influence from himself or his wife had allowed Yu Xiaogang to awaken a higher level of Innate Spirit Power in that other world. He believed that was what caused such a massive change. If it wasn't a change in Innate Spirit Power, Yu Yuanzhen could not imagine what kind of choice could lead his son to become a Titled Douluo.
