After stopping his two clan uncles, Yu Tianxin led Lei Zhan and Lei Tian into the entrance of the Thunder Gorge.
"Tianxin, do not go into the core zone."
Seeing Yu Tianxin enter the Thunder Gorge, the two guards anxiously reminded him out of concern.
"Don't worry, I know this place like the back of my hand," Yu Tianxin replied. Following his memory, he walked straight toward the mixed zone.
Yu Tianxin was quite familiar with the Thunder Gorge. Furthermore, knowing that Xiao Lin and his group were here to obtain soul rings, he headed directly toward the mixed zone of the canyon.
"Captain, your expression didn't look right just now. Were you thinking about something?" Lei Zhan asked curiously, following closely behind Yu Tianxin.
"Yeah. I'm going to meet a few people to trade for some benefits." The corners of Yu Tianxin's mouth curled up into a slight smile, "By the way, if you two also want to trade for some benefits, you better think about what your clans have that can be used as bargaining chips."
"The person we are going to meet is Xiao Lin, the grandson of Grandmaster Xiao Yan."
In the end, Yu Tianxin voiced his deduction.
The moment they heard the name Xiao Yan, Lei Zhan and Lei Tian's pupils dilated instantly. They stared at Yu Tianxin with faces full of disbelief.
"Captain, are you saying that the person who just knocked your clan uncles unconscious was Xiao Lin and his group?" Lei Tian was still incredibly shocked, but a hint of joy now flickered on his face.
If they could really trade for something good, their future prospects would be immeasurable.
Based on the intelligence Lei Tian possessed, the strength of the Heaven Dou Emperor Team had skyrocketed. Every single member could be said to possess the potential to become a Titled Douluo.
Some could even attempt to reach the rank of Super Douluo. Lei Tian didn't ask for much; he only hoped for a chance to become a Titled Douluo in the future. If he succeeded, his clan would become a formidable power hereafter.
After all, even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only had a single Titled Douluo on the surface. However, after pondering for a long time, Lei Tian couldn't think of anything valuable enough in his clan to trade.
With Yu Tianxin around, even the most precious item in their clan—a fifty-thousand-year soul bone—probably wouldn't amount to much. Besides, that fifty-thousand-year soul bone was currently fused with his grandfather.
Thinking of this, Lei Tian couldn't help but sigh.
Beside him, Lei Dong felt exactly the same way.
They simply had nothing of value to trade with Xiao Lin.
"Hehe, there's no need to sigh. First of all, this is an opportunity that you must not let slip for the rest of your lives." Yu Tianxin chuckled, comforting the two.
"Secondly, as far as I know, the clans of Yu Feng and Osler from the Heaven Dou Emperor Team are no stronger than yours, yet their strength has increased tremendously."
After reassuring them, Yu Tianxin picked up his pace and continued forward.
Along the way, he constantly observed the changes in the surrounding environment, searching for the direction Xiao Lin and his group had taken.
"I see. Yu Feng and Osler must have chosen to follow Xiao Lin and the others to obtain such benefits." A moment later, Lei Dong was the first to realize the underlying reason.
"That's right! If that's the case, we can also choose to follow Xiao Lin and his group," Lei Tian agreed with a joyful nod.
Hearing their conversation, Yu Tianxin didn't say much.
Lei Dong and Lei Tian were originally geniuses he intended to win over, and their clan forces were meant to help resist future upheavals on the continent. But ever since he witnessed the transformation in Yu Tianheng, he had made up his mind.
No matter how many alliances he forged, nothing beat having true power residing in himself.
If he could undergo a complete rebirth just like Yu Tianheng, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would surely rise to greater heights in the future. Moreover, even if Lei Dong and Lei Tian chose to follow Xiao Lin, it wouldn't cause him any personal loss.
He held no grudge against Xiao Lin's group.
In fact, if he truly underwent a metamorphosis, even if someone from his clan offended Xiao Lin in the future, he could personally take action to discipline them and offer his apologies to Xiao Lin.
About half a day passed.
Within the mixed zone of the Thunder Gorge, Yu Tianxin's trio happened to cross paths with Xiao Lin's group of four.
This meeting was highly coincidental. Yu Tianxin and his companions had spotted someone fighting a soul beast in the distance, drawn by the intense flashes of lightning and the rumbling roar of thunder, which ultimately led to their successful encounter.
At this moment, Xiao Lin and his three companions still wore expressions of wariness upon seeing Yu Tianxin's group, even though Yu Tianxin bore a strong resemblance to Yu Tianheng.
"Xiao Lin, I am Yu Tianxin. I want to make a trade with you."
Yu Tianxin immediately stated his intentions directly, without a single shred of concealment.
Hearing Yu Tianxin's words, Xiao Lin and Tang San both furrowed their brows.
"A trade?"
"What kind of trade do you want to make?"
Xiao Lin had already roughly guessed what Yu Tianxin and his companions wanted. Seeing the goodwill written on Yu Tianxin's face, he didn't intend to reject the offer outright.
"You are looking for soul beasts, right? If you want to find a suitable soul beast, it might be quite difficult without a guide to lead the way," Yu Tianxin said with a slight smile.
He then continued, "Helping you find a soul beast is just one part of the trade. I can also offer treasures from my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in exchange, or even a soul bone."
Yu Tianxin directly laid out his bargaining chips, appearing completely sincere.
"Brother Lin, how about..."
Tang San's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this.
He leaned in close to Xiao Lin's ear and whispered. In Tang San's eyes, taking a slight loss in a trade like this was nothing as long as it allowed them to grow. Only by becoming strong enough, and doing so quickly, could they gain a true sense of security.
Naturally, Xiao Lin was also somewhat tempted. If they could find the specific soul beast he wanted, it would be excellent. However, if they weren't pressed for time, they could have just asked Yu Tianheng to guide them instead.
Even so, offering other treasures and a soul bone showed immense sincerity.
"What do you want? And what can you offer in exchange?"
Xiao Lin sent a signal that he was open to negotiation. Hearing this, Yu Tianxin couldn't help but let out a quiet sigh of relief.
It worked!
Since both sides shared the intent to trade, Yu Tianxin no longer hid anything.
"I want to undergo a complete rebirth, just like Yu Tianheng."
"As for the trade, in addition to finding a suitable soul beast for you, my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan possesses a ten-thousand-year living lodestone. It is highly magnetic and can be used for the cultivation of lightning-attribute soul masters, or to forge suitable weapons."
"As for a soul bone... that might be a bit difficult."
Yu Tianxin spoke the honest truth.
A supreme treasure like a soul bone was rare even within one of the upper three sects like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. They had a few thousand-year ones, but they didn't have a single ten-thousand-year soul bone to spare.
He felt a bit awkward when mentioning the soul bone, given that he had just used it to sweeten his bargaining chips moments ago. But this was mainly because Yu Tianheng had already used the medicinal bath formula for a prior trade.
"Brother Lin..."
Even though there was no soul bone, Tang San became a bit anxious and called out softly by Xiao Lin's ear.
A ten-thousand-year living lodestone—putting aside its uses for a lightning-attribute soul master's cultivation—would be an exceptional material for crafting soul tool hidden weapons.
"Fine, we can trade."
Xiao Lin felt helpless.
Since Tang San was already this excited, how could he possibly refuse?
"However, I need to know what path you plan to take in the future."
The moment Xiao Lin said this, Yu Tianxin tried his best to maintain a calm facade, but the uncontrollable curling up of the corners of his mouth betrayed his inner joy.
"As expected of Grandmaster Xiao Yan's grandson, you think things through thoroughly."
"I want to take the path of Ultimate Lightning."
After pondering for three seconds, Yu Tianxin spoke calmly.
