Chapter 128: Grandfather's Son, Father's Younger Brother
Hearing his grandfather repeatedly mention the Holy Light Dragon, Yu Tianlin seemed to grasp what was coming.
After muttering to himself for a few moments, Yu Yuanzhen fixed his gaze on Yu Tianlin and said, "Tianlin, could you hand over that Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone to me?"
"I already have my own torso Spirit Bone. This Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone is useless to me, so giving it to Grandpa won't affect anything." Yu Tianlin became more and more certain of his guess, but he still asked, "Grandpa, what do you need the Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone for?"
Even though Yu Tianlin had already agreed, Yu Yuanzhen still let out a quiet breath. His eyes, however, carried a complicated emotion.
"I want to give it to your second uncle. He needs it."
So Grandpa really is thinking about him. Yu Tianlin understood immediately, yet he still frowned in confusion. "Second Uncle?"
"That's right. Your second uncle, Yu Xiaogang." Since it was already out in the open, Yu Yuanzhen spoke plainly. "When Xiaogang left the clan, Tianheng was only 4, and you had just been born not long ago. Tianheng still remembers him, but you probably have no impression of Xiaogang."
Yu Tianlin knew his "second uncle" quite well, at least in terms of what he had heard and understood.
After quickly sorting through Yu Xiaogang's situation in his mind, Yu Tianlin said, "I've never met him, but I know a little. It seems his Martial Soul mutated and his talent was extremely poor, so he was eventually expelled from the clan."
In truth, Yu Tianlin had met Yu Xiaogang before, though he had been less than 1 year old at the time. But he was a transmigrator, not an ordinary child.
"Expelled?" Yu Yuanzhen shook his head immediately. "No. Xiaogang was not expelled. He is my son. Even if his talent is poor, the clan would not expel him."
That made sense. Yu Tianlin paused, realizing he had assumed too much. Maybe the truth was not what he had thought.
Yu Yuanzhen continued, "Xiaogang has always been a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The clan never drove him out. He left on his own."
"As for why," Yu Yuanzhen's voice lowered, "because he is my son, expectations followed him since childhood. But when he awakened his Martial Soul, that problem appeared. His innate Spirit Power was only half a level. Half a level means he would never break through level 30 in his lifetime."
"There were rumors in the clan. In the end, Xiaogang chose to leave. He wanted to prove himself, and only then return."
"In the blink of an eye, 12 years have passed, and he has not returned even once."
For Yu Tianlin, Yu Xiaogang was technically his second uncle, but they had no bond. Still, he had to consider his grandfather and his father.
Yu Xiaogang was his grandfather's son and his father's younger brother. Their feelings were obvious, and Yu Tianlin could not ignore them.
Since that was the case, giving Yu Xiaogang a Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone was not a loss. Yu Tianlin had more than enough Spirit Bones. If this could make his grandfather and father feel better, then it was worth it.
But there was still a problem.
"Grandpa, I don't object to giving Second Uncle the Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone," Yu Tianlin said. "But Second Uncle is only level 29 right now. His Spirit Power is too low. Even if the torso Spirit Bone's energy isn't as violent as a limb Spirit Bone, he probably still won't be able to withstand it."
Seeing Yu Tianlin agree, Yu Yuanzhen finally smiled. "Tianlin, you should still have herbs that can raise Spirit Power without side effects, right? As long as you find one for your second uncle, it shouldn't be hard to help him break through the level 30 bottleneck. And once he breaks through, he can continue cultivating."
"When he reaches level 40, we can let him absorb the Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone."
So that was it. Grandpa has been eyeing my herbs too. Yu Tianlin thought silently. He really planned everything out.
At Yu Xiaogang's current level, he could not withstand the Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone no matter what. But if he could break through 2 major realms, it would be different.
At level 40, his physique would already meet the most basic threshold for absorbing a torso Spirit Bone. More importantly, Yu Xiaogang's own Martial Soul was Luo Sanpao, a failed evolution of the Holy Light Dragon. For him, absorbing a Holy Light Dragon torso Spirit Bone would be an almost perfect match.
When compatibility was extreme, absorbing a Spirit Bone could become much easier. Yu Tianlin had felt comfortable when absorbing the Thunder Holy Dragon torso Spirit Bone, and he knew his grandfather would understand that feeling as well.
It was also not surprising that Yu Yuanzhen had absorbed Spirit Bones of the Thunder Holy Dragon. Most of the Spirit Bones Yu Tianlin brought back were at the level of a third level god, and only 9 Thunder Holy Dragon Spirit Bones reached the level of a second level god. As the Clan Leader, Yu Yuanzhen naturally chose the best quality and the most suitable Spirit Skills.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression grew serious as he continued, "Many people say your second uncle's Martial Soul is useless, that it can only output power by… farting. But I know that isn't true."
"His Martial Soul should be undergoing a beneficial mutation. Unfortunately, something went wrong in a certain step, so it ended up like this."
"The true form of Luo Sanpao is the Holy Light Dragon."
Yu Tianlin was not surprised. After all, his grandfather once possessed a Holy Light Dragon skull Spirit Bone. He understood that power deeply, so noticing the truth was only natural.
Besides, Yu Xiaogang's Spirit Fusion with the Golden Iron Triangle proved it from another angle.
"If your second uncle can absorb a Holy Light Dragon Spirit Bone," Yu Yuanzhen said, voice turning heated, "there's a high chance it will speed up that evolution, maybe even complete it. He might transform his Martial Soul into a true Holy Light Drag
on."
By the time he reached this point, Yu Yuanzhen's agitation was obvious. It showed how much he cared about his youngest son.
Yu Tianlin did not want to dampen his grandfather's hopes, but he still spoke carefully. "Grandpa, Second Uncle is already 50. He's missed the best period for cultivation. Even if his Martial Soul truly evolves into the Holy Light Dragon, he probably won't be able to cultivate to its peak."
"How could I not know that?" Yu Yuanzhen calmed down, then sighed softly. "Even if his chances of reaching Title Douluo are extremely low, with this help, he still has a very real possibility of becoming a Spirit Saint."
