Chapter 122: Both Title Douluos Were Dumbfounded
In the underground chamber beneath the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's headquarters on Douluo Continent, a figure sat cross legged in quiet cultivation.
It was Yu Yuanzhen.
A faint blue purple radiance flowed over his body, steady and restrained. He looked completely immersed in meditation. Then a soft sound came from the stone door.
Yu Yuanzhen opened his eyes at once, the light around him fading as he withdrew from his meditative state.
"Luo Mian, you're here." He looked toward the entrance. "What's wrong? Did something happen in the clan?"
"The clan is being managed well by Mingfeng. Nothing happened," Yu Luomian said as he walked closer. "I came because of Tianlin."
Right now, Yu Tianlin entering the Dragon Realm was the most important matter in the clan. The elders had been watching it closely, so Yu Luomian coming to ask was only natural.
He sat down beside Yu Yuanzhen. "The 6 month period is almost over. Tianlin should be back soon, right?"
"There are still 15 days before the 6 month deadline," Yu Yuanzhen said calmly. "But Tianlin knows that '6 months' isn't perfectly precise. Time will inevitably fluctuate. The spiritual imprint I left in the Dragon Slayer Blade might dissipate a few days early, or a few days late. To be safe, he will definitely return a few days in advance."
"In other words, he should be back around now." Yu Luomian nodded in understanding. "Then I'll wait here with you. As for clan matters, with Mingfeng and the others there, nothing will go wrong."
Yu Yuanzhen was about to respond when a brilliant light suddenly flashed across his forehead. The Bright Holy Dragon head Spirit Bone appeared on its own, shining as if awakened by some distant call.
Yu Yuanzhen instantly sensed it. Somewhere far away, something was answering his Bright Holy Dragon head Spirit Bone.
"This is…" Yu Luomian froze for a heartbeat, then his eyes widened. "Tianlin is coming back!"
Yu Yuanzhen sprang to his feet. His Bright Holy Dragon head Spirit Bone fully activated, strengthening his link to that distant point.
Yu Luomian also stood, excitement rising in his expression.
Even playing it safe, returning 5 days early would have been reasonable, but Yu Tianlin was returning 15 days early.
Wouldn't it be better to use that extra time to hunt more dragon spirits and absorb them to improve his physical strength?
For Yu Tianlin to come back this early, there was only one explanation.
He had gained a tremendous harvest in the Dragon Realm.
Under Yu Yuanzhen's control, the Bright Holy Dragon head Spirit Bone released an even stronger glow. It resonated with the spiritual imprint left inside the Dragon Slayer Blade, providing the blade with a coordinate to return.
Not long after, a black rift tore open in front of them. Space twisted, forming a spatial rift.
The rift slowly expanded until it reached the height of a person. Then a figure carrying a massive blade rushed out.
It was Yu Tianlin.
The moment he passed through, the spatial rift rapidly closed, healing itself until it vanished completely.
"Tianlin, how did it go in the small world? Did you fight dragon spirits? Were you injured?"
"Tianlin, what did you gain?"
Before Yu Tianlin had even fully steadied himself, the 2 elders had already crowded in, firing questions. Yu Luomian was so excited he reached out and placed both hands on Yu Tianlin's shoulders.
Yu Tianlin shifted slightly to the side, dodging Yu Luomian's palm almost by instinct. Then he looked at Yu Yuanzhen and smiled.
"Second Grandfather, don't rush." His tone stayed calm. "And Grandfather, could you retract the Bright Holy Dragon head Spirit Bone first? The light is blinding."
Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian exchanged a glance.
Surprise flashed in both of their eyes.
Yu Luomian was already a Title Douluo. Even a casual movement from him was something a Spirit Master around rank 40 could not possibly dodge.
But Yu Tianlin had dodged it, and he did it easily.
Looking closer, they saw it even more clearly. Yu Tianlin's gaze was deep and restrained, and his build was slender and well proportioned. He did not look as explosively robust as before, yet he seemed more harmonious, as if terrifying power could erupt from him at any moment.
It seems Tianlin really gained a lot this time.
The thought rose almost simultaneously in both minds, and their excitement only grew.
After Yu Yuanzhen retracted the Bright Holy Dragon head Spirit Bone, Yu Tianlin handed him the Dragon Slayer Blade.
"This trip to the small world was very fruitful."
"A great harvest?" Yu Luomian's eyes lit up instantly. "What exactly did you get? Did you obtain a Spirit Bone?"
"Of course." Yu Tianlin nodded. "Not only Spirit Bones, but quite a lot."
He removed the storage wristband his grandfather had given him before he entered the Dragon Realm half a year ago, then handed it over.
"They're all in here, Grandpa. You can see for yourself."
Yu Yuanzhen accepted the wristband and spoke casually, as if trying to keep expectations grounded.
"Maybe it's only a dozen or so pieces."
"A dozen or so Spirit Bones!" Yu Luomian's eyes shone even brighter. "If there are really that many, Tianlin, you've done a great service this time!"
Hearing their guesses, Yu Tianlin could not help grinning.
Your guesses are way too conservative. Not even close.
Even this storage wristband only holds a small portion, yet it was still more than enough to shock them. He could only hope his grandfather would not get so excited that he tried to pull everything out on the spot.
Yu Yuanzhen sent his Spirit Power into the wristband.
Then he saw the pile of Spirit Bones inside.
His pupils contracted violently. His entire body twitched, as if struck by lightning, and his hands started trembling uncontrollably.
"This is… far too much!"
"No way, big brother, is this some kind of exaggeration?" Yu Luomian's heart jumped. "Big brother, stop twitching and just tell me the number! How many Spirit Bones?"
As he spoke, Yu Luomian flashed behind Yu Yuanzhen and slapped his back, helping him catch his breath.
As the clan leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and a rank 97 Super Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen recovered quickly, but his slightly shaking hands betrayed how turbulent his emotions still were.
He glanced at his second brother, then simply handed him the storage wristband.
"Look for yourself."
Yu Luomian grabbed it, poured his Spirit Power inside, and froze.
Then his whole body trembled once, trembled again, and finally trembled violently, his mind going completely blank.
His breathing turned ragged, like he was about to suffocate. Only after Yu Yuanzhen hammered him hard on the back did he finally gasp in a full breath.
Even then, Yu Luomian still stared in disbelief, his face pale.
"This… this has to be an illusion, right?" His voice shook. "Yes, it must be an illusion. I must want Tianlin to bring back Spirit Bones so badly that my mind is making things up."
