Chapter 179: What Smells So Bad? Who of You Pooped in the Street?
Another fifteen minutes passed, and Yu Luomian's soul power fluctuations gradually intensified—he had a breakthrough!
Through the Foundation Establishment Pill, after the impurities in Yu Luomian's body were expelled, his innate talent also improved. With this new power, Yu Luomian's cultivation directly increased to the eighty-eighth rank!
Of course, this was because Yu Luomian had been stuck at this level for too long, which allowed him to break through so smoothly.
The Foundation Establishment Pill does not have the effect of helping people break through; it only has the effect of washing the marrow and cleansing the tendons.
"Hahaha—"
"Hahaha! My cultivation of so many years has finally had a breakthrough!"
Yu Luomian couldn't help but burst into wild laughter. But then he smelled an unbearable stench.
"What is that awful smell? Did one of you relieve yourselves in the street?" Yu Luomian opened his eyes and looked around.
Everyone: …
Just as the elders were about to react, Yu Yuanzhen directly grabbed Yu Luomian's body with a dragon claw and threw him out toward the main entrance.
"Go change into clean clothes and come back. You have five minutes!"
Yu Yuanzhen's forehead was lined with black veins, and he roared angrily.
A dragon roar made Yu Luomian's head spin.
Only then did Yu Luomian realize that the stench was coming from himself.
Cough, cough.
This was a bit awkward.
However, now was not the time to dwell on it; he quickly flew toward his room at the fastest speed, as he couldn't stand the smell either.
But what made him happiest was that he could feel the soul power that had been dormant in his body for a long time beginning to circulate again.
He truly had hope of breaking through to Titled Douluo in this life!
How could this not make him happy?
And at another corner, a person appeared.
Yu Xiaogang!
He knew he couldn't get the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he had been waiting here early, just to see if this pill was truly as miraculous as rumors suggested.
And now it seemed the medicinal effect exceeded his expectations.
His second uncle had actually had a breakthrough!
This made his expression very grim.
If it were someone else who had a breakthrough, his mood might not be so bad, but this person was Yu Luomian!
Back then, if it weren't for him, he might have already married Erlong and embraced her.
But ever since Liu Erlong's identity as an illegitimate daughter was exposed, he dared not defy the world to marry a close relative.
That would make him a laughingstock.
However, speaking of which, it had been a long time since he had seen Erlong. Did she still not know that he had returned to the family?
It must be his second uncle who had blocked the news!
Just wait!
Yu Xiaogang took a deep look at Yu Luomian's disappearing back, then turned and left.
And after Yu Xiaogang exited the main gate, a figure appeared behind him—Tang San!
Tang San watched Yu Xiaogang's receding figure, wondering what he was thinking.
He could probably guess what Yu Xiaogang was going to do, but since Yu Xiaogang was his teacher after all, he would just pretend not to know.
Anyway, it was none of his business.
He had been in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for some time and had learned about the general situation of the continent. He also knew that his teacher was actually a good-for-nothing.
With innate half-rank soul power, he had consumed a large amount of the family's resources to pile his cultivation up to the twenty-ninth rank.
However, with such a useless teacher, what right did he have to demand how good his own innate talent should be?
Yu Xiaogang accepting him as a named disciple rather than a direct disciple was simply because he didn't know his talent yet.
But no matter how bad his talent was, could it be worse than Yu Xiaogang's?
His father was a Titled Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, and he would most likely awaken the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul in the future.
Soul Masters who possess the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul never have very low innate soul power.
Of course, Tang Yuehua was an exception; although the Noble Circle was a mutated version of the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, strictly speaking, it was no longer related to the original.
Ninth-rank innate soul power, but only able to remain at that level for life—this was truly absurd.
And the Noble Circle's domain effect was nothing special; it merely made one appear more elegant.
Beyond that, at most, it could calm a Soul Master's more agitated emotions.
It could be said to be utterly useless, even more useless than Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang himself was useless, but his martial soul was not useless, and his cultivation was at least piled up to the twenty-ninth rank. But Tang Yuehua couldn't pile hers up.
Then, Tang San turned and left, returning to his room to continue cultivating his Mysterious Heaven Skill.
During this time, he had been well-fed and well-rested in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and he felt his cultivation speed had increased significantly—though he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.
Moreover, if he guessed correctly, the nine layers of Mysterious Heaven Skill corresponded to the nine realms of a Soul Master.
His first layer of the Mysterious Heaven Skill was not yet at perfection, which meant he did not yet have innate full soul power.
If that were truly the case, it would indeed be somewhat disappointing.
However, Tang San was not discouraged; he had the Mysterious Heaven Skill, the unique skills of the Tang Sect, and one day, he would stand at the peak of the Soul Master's world!
Meanwhile, in the conference room.
Not long after, Yu Luomian returned.
He looked at the people around him with some embarrassment; just now, he really shouldn't have said such thoughtless words. It was truly too smelly—he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
But the clown turned out to be himself.
"Alright, second brother, tell us—what was your experience after taking this Foundation Establishment Pill? We all witnessed the increase in your cultivation," Yu Yuanzhen said calmly.
Yu Luomian immediately became solemn: "As you all saw, with the expulsion of impurities, my cultivation talent indeed improved. Although I can't feel how much it has improved, I can confirm that there is hope for Titled Douluo in the future!"
Just this sentence was enough to excite the elders present.
There were a total of ten Soul Douluo powerhouses here; this was the foundation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Among them, some were too old, some had suffered hidden injuries when they were young, or their talent was limited; for various reasons, they were stuck at the Soul Douluo cultivation level for life.
And now, Yu Luomian's words ignited hope in them—the hope of the family's revival!
Of course, due to time constraints, not all Soul Douluo were present; some were still at Thunder Academy and not within the family.
At this moment, the Grand Elder asked: "Since it can be confirmed that the Foundation Establishment Pill is effective, we must also formulate a plan. How can we obtain more Foundation Establishment Pills from Spirit Hall?"
"After all, although this one Foundation Establishment Pill is effective, its price is also extremely high. How many Soul Bones do we still have in the family treasury?"
Just as Yu Luomian went to clean up, they had sent people to count the remaining Soul Bones.
