Chapter 3: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's Life Before the Age of Six
Aside from Yu Xiaogang himself, the only person who knew the details of his situation was his father, Yu Yuanzhen, the Clan Head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Yu Yuanzhen could not help but reveal looks of disbelief when he saw the comparison target.
The title alone was already far too shocking.
A person they knew as trash had actually become a Titled Douluo in another world.
The difference between the two could hardly be described as anything less than the gap between heaven and earth.
Because of this, even before the Sky Screen began playing the footage, everyone was already filled with anticipation.
How exactly had Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang defied fate?
Soon, the scene began to play.
[Now playing: Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang]
[A residence within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
["Waa!"]
[With the sound of a newborn's cry, a baby arrived in the world. His father, Yu Yuanzhen, named him Yu Xiaogang with great excitement.]
[As the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Clan Head and the only Titled Douluo of the clan, Yu Xiaogang had been the center of expectation since the moment he was born.]
[The elders treated him kindly whenever they saw him. The clan's powerful experts behaved respectfully toward him. Members of the younger generation constantly tried to curry favor with him.]
[At that time, Yu Xiaogang was undoubtedly the absolute core of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
Looking at the elders' kind expressions, the respectful attitudes of the clan's experts, and the younger generation flattering him in the footage, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly.
Blood vessels bulged in his eyes.
What could possibly be more humiliating than this scene?
After all, everyone across the Douluo Continent knew what the boy loved and respected by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would become in the future.
Beside him, Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang's trembling body.
His gaze turned cold as he glanced at the Sky Screen.
"Whoever is behind this… you already have a way to death!"
[Being admired and flattered by everyone naturally caused Yu Xiaogang to develop an extremely arrogant attitude.]
[He regarded the elders' kindness as something only natural.]
[Even before awakening his martial soul, he accepted the respectful treatment of the clan's experts without hesitation.]
[As for the younger generation trying to curry favor with him, he openly showed disdain.]
[In his mind, as the son of a Titled Douluo, he was destined to become one of the clan's top experts and make his name known across Douluo Continent.]
[Only true geniuses were worthy of befriending someone like him.]
[Therefore, anyone whose innate soul power was below Rank 7 was not even worthy of a proper glance from him.]
When this part appeared, the entire Douluo Continent erupted into discussion.
"Good heavens! Anyone with innate soul power below Rank 7 isn't even worth a glance? Does that mean people like us with Rank 2 or Rank 3 aren't even qualified to stand in front of him?"
"Well, he is the son of a Titled Douluo. If you had a father like that, you'd probably be even more arrogant."
"Bah! What nonsense. I know this guy. A trash who can't even break through to Rank 29."
"Can't break through to Rank 30? Impossible! His father is a Titled Douluo!"
"So what? Martial soul awakening doesn't care whether your father is a Titled Douluo."
"Tsk tsk… interesting. Acting so arrogant now. Once his martial soul awakens, those people he looked down on will ridicule him to death."
"…"
[Yu Xiaogang's attitude toward the clan members was clearly seen by everyone in the clan.]
[Although some were dissatisfied with his arrogance, because of Yu Yuanzhen, no one said anything.]
[When Yu Xiaogang reached the age to begin studying, Yu Yuanzhen arranged for him to learn knowledge related to soul masters.]
[Yu Xiaogang showed great interest in these topics, especially martial souls and soul rings, which often made him think deeply.]
["Why does our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul use this specific soul ring combination? If we used soul rings from different soul beasts, wouldn't it be better?"]
[Yu Xiaogang's question made Yu Yuanzhen both amused and helpless.]
[The soul ring configuration of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul had been determined through countless years of accumulation and the efforts of many people in the clan.]
[With this configuration, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could steadily produce powerful experts.]
[This was precisely the advantage of having a clan or sect.]
[As for independent soul masters without background or guidance, their acquisition of soul rings often depended entirely on luck.]
[Without professional advice, they did not even know what kind of soul skill they would obtain.]
[Many soul masters with decent talent ultimately failed to achieve much precisely because of this reason.]
[Looking at the confusion on his son's face, Yu Yuanzhen simply smiled and brushed the question aside without explaining the deeper details.]
[In his view, since Yu Xiaogang was his son, he would personally guide him.]
[Yu Xiaogang would never end up like those wandering soul masters who accidentally chose the wrong soul rings and ruined their future.]
"Do you understand now, Xiao San? This is why I told you to listen to your teacher when acquiring soul rings."
"Only someone with experience can properly arrange your future path and prevent you from going astray."
"Never underestimate soul ring acquisition. Soul rings determine your future, even your entire life. So in this matter, absolutely no mistakes can be allowed."
Looking at his father's smiling face on the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang suppressed the resentment in his heart and turned to instruct Tang San.
Meanwhile, in Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong gazed at the young Yu Xiaogang on the screen, her expression gradually becoming entranced.
"So you had already begun researching martial souls from such a young age."
"It's just a pity the entire Douluo Continent is full of blind fools."
Recalling the time when Yu Xiaogang came to Spirit Hall and studied in the library, Bibi Dong could not help feeling deep longing for him.
…
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, inside the Clan Head's room.
Looking at the young Yu Xiaogang on the screen, Yu Yuanzhen sighed helplessly.
He had planned out a path for his son.
But because of Yu Xiaogang's martial soul, everything had fallen apart.
Precisely because of this, Yu Yuanzhen became even more curious about the Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang being compared.
"The same Douluo Continent… yet just one person's choice caused such a huge change."
"So what choice exactly allowed Xiaogang to become a Titled Douluo?"
Yu Yuanzhen felt extremely curious.
Of course, his thoughts were similar to Tang San's earlier guess.
Perhaps something about him or his wife had changed in that world, allowing Yu Xiaogang to awaken with higher innate soul power.
If Yu Xiaogang's innate soul power had not changed, Yu Yuanzhen could not imagine what kind of heaven-defying choice could allow his son to become a Titled Douluo.
The video continued.
[Soon, time arrived at the year Yu Xiaogang turned six.]
[He was about to undergo his martial soul awakening.]
