A 100,000-year soul ring, scarlet as blood, appeared before his eyes. Gu Rong could not help but rub his eyes.
To think that he, Gu Rong, a dignified Titled Douluo, would one day feel as if his vision was blurring.
But the key point was, this really could not be blamed on him.
What normal person could see a Spirit Master possess a 100,000-year soul ring, especially at the position of the sixth spirit ring, and not think they were seeing things?
In any case, Gu Rong felt that no one could remain calm in the face of a 100,000-year sixth spirit ring.
"This... how did you obtain this 100,000-year soul ring?"
Gu Rong swallowed, his voice becoming much sharper.
"How should I put it, this spirit ring was obtained from Spirit Hall."
Yu Xiaogang said with a somewhat inexplicable tone.
In normal times, he would not have felt much, but right now, he had just analyzed with Gu Rong the topic of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect becoming enemies with Spirit Hall in the future.
For the sake of that day, he was even trying to win Gu Rong over to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, preparing in advance for that battle, yet as a result, he still carried the favor of Spirit Hall.
It had to be said, this was a very contradictory matter.
Sure enough, hearing Yu Xiaogang's answer, Gu Rong even ignored the fact that Yu Xiaogang's sixth spirit ring was a 100,000-year soul ring, and looked at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief.
"Obtained from Spirit Hall?"
"So, you are taking benefits from Spirit Hall, while secretly guarding against Spirit Hall?"
Wasn't this kind of behavior something only a sinister, petty person would do?
Since you've done such a thing, how could you have the nerve to invite me to join your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?
Regarding this question, Yu Xiaogang was also very helpless.
"Spirit Hall did indeed do me a favor, and I will not forget that."
"And the reason I am starting to prepare now is to prevent a massive war from breaking out between the two sides in the future, causing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to suffer heavy losses, at which point the relationship would be irreparable."
The preparations Yu Xiaogang was making were not for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to have the power to annihilate Spirit Hall in the future.
Rather, it was to possess the strength to contend with Spirit Hall, allowing both sides to maintain a balance and coexist.
Only if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had sufficient strength could both sides maintain this state.
Otherwise, if Spirit Hall possessed absolute, overwhelming strength, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect suffered heavy losses, driven by hatred, the two sides would fight to the death.
Although Yu Xiaogang truly cherished the favor Spirit Hall had shown him, if he had to choose between Spirit Hall and his father and the elders of his Sect, Yu Xiaogang did not think he would choose Spirit Hall.
"Although I am indeed very grateful to Spirit Hall, compared to my father and the people of my Sect, this is not a hard choice to make."
"And to keep things from developing toward the worst possible outcome, we need our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to have the ability to contend with Spirit Hall when that day truly arrives."
"So I started preparing in advance. Can you understand it when I put it this way?"
Yu Xiaogang's words left Gu Rong silent.
He understood, and he grasped the reasoning behind Yu Xiaogang's actions.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was the Sect that gave birth to him and raised him; he could not abandon it.
Spirit Hall had bestowed favors upon him, so Yu Xiaogang did not want to be an ungrateful wretch.
But the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect ultimately needed to be stronger; if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect really followed the right path and made Spirit Hall unable to tolerate it, at that time, Yu Xiaogang would certainly stand with his own Sect first.
But he also did not want to destroy Spirit Hall.
Therefore, letting both sides maintain coexistence was the only solution.
Thinking this through, Gu Rong took a deep look at Yu Xiaogang.
In the current Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang was likely the only one willing to see his Sect rise, yet unwilling to be an ungrateful wretch because of the favors received from Spirit Hall.
The other members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were probably all looking forward to their Sect rising, hoping that in the future they would have the power to defeat Spirit Hall, destroy Spirit Hall, and let their own Sect replace Spirit Hall.
Therefore, the thinking about how to let both sides maintain a balance and coexist would only exist in Yu Xiaogang's mind.
"Such a thing that might only happen in decades, or perhaps never happen at all, is something you have already thought about so deeply."
"No wonder you could discover so many things at such a young age."
Gu Rong offered a sincere compliment.
"I am just following my heart and doing what I can."
"If there was not the slightest chance of success, I would not waste so much effort."
Yu Xiaogang waved his hand and said.
His father becoming a god was a future certainty, and just looking at the records of Spirit Hall regarding the wars fought over faith in the past, one could see how brutal the struggles for the faith of gods were.
That was a tragedy that directly wiped out a kingdom, slaughtering everyone in that kingdom who did not believe in the Angel God.
He did not want to see his own Sect one day be like that kingdom, slaughtered from top to bottom.
"Heh, I'm really curious what kind of wonderful expressions they would have if Spirit Hall found out that you, whom they cultivated, were secretly making preparations to resist them."
Gu Rong thought with great interest.
Especially Qian Xunji; Gu Rong was very curious about what kind of expression he would have.
"Probably mostly anger and helplessness."
Yu Xiaogang thought about the personalities of everyone in Spirit Hall, and finally said.
Qian Xunji would definitely be angry, that goes without saying.
And the people in the Elder Hall would probably be helpless.
"Alright, let's stop this topic for now. Seeing my sixth spirit ring, you shouldn't doubt what I can achieve in the future, right?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Gu Rong looked at Yu Xiaogang's sixth spirit ring and nodded silently.
The sixth spirit ring being a 100,000-year soul ring proved that Yu Xiaogang's seventh, eighth, and ninth spirit rings could all be 100,000-year soul rings.
Besides the spirit rings, 100,000-year Spirit Beasts definitely drop Spirit Bones, which means Yu Xiaogang would have at least three 100,000-Year Soul Bones in the future.
"Four 100,000-year soul rings plus three 100,000-Year Soul Bones; this talent is going to evolve into the heavens."
Gu Rong thought to himself.
It could be said that just by relying on this configuration, Yu Xiaogang already had the qualifications to become the strongest in Douluo Continent.
Although everything had not yet settled, Gu Rong did not think that Yu Xiaogang and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect would not move toward this goal.
In other words, as long as everything went smoothly, the current number one Genius of Douluo Continent before him would become the future number one powerhouse of Douluo Continent.
Thinking of this, Gu Rong's desire to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect became much stronger instantly.
Because he wanted to follow Yu Xiaogang and witness the process of this young man becoming a powerhouse with his own eyes.
