Chapter 179: Changes in the Clan's Strength, Desire to Participate
The next day, Yu Tianlin left Shrek Academy and began his journey home. With his current cultivation, his travel speed was astonishing. In only a few days, he returned to the clan safely.
The moment he arrived, Yu Tianlin did not even go home first. Instead, he headed straight for the council hall to find his grandfather and report the results of his trip.
"Xiao Gang is willing to come back, that's great!" After hearing Yu Tianlin's report, Yu Yuanzhen immediately cheered, visibly delighted. "Even if we have to wait a while, it doesn't matter, as long as he can return."
Seeing how happy his grandfather was, Yu Tianlin explained the situation in detail. "The next All Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is about to begin. The reason Second Uncle won't return immediately is because he has taken on some students and hopes they can participate in this tournament. He will come back as soon as the tournament ends."
"Time really flies. The tournament jointly organized by the 2 empires and Spirit Hall is about to begin again." Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard as he spoke. "If Xiao Gang won't return until after the tournament, that will be around 1 and a half years."
"Grandpa, if you really want Second Uncle to return sooner, I have a way." Yu Tianlin understood his grandfather's thoughts at once. Even if Yu Yuanzhen claimed he could wait, he still wanted to see Yu Xiaogang as soon as possible. Yu Tianlin continued, "Grandpa, do you know about Blue Tyrant Academy?"
"Blue Tyrant Academy?" Yu Yuanzhen said. "I know it. It's the advanced Spirit Master academy your second grandfather set up for his illegitimate daughter. But what does that have to do with your second uncle's return to the clan?"
"There's a lot tied up in this." Yu Tianlin explained patiently. "Second Uncle wants his students to participate in this year's competition, but only advanced Spirit Master academies have the quota. In other words, Second Uncle and his students aren't qualified on their own. So, to secure participation, Second Uncle and Aunt Liu Erlong will end up closely involved."
"In other words, it won't be long before your second uncle leads people to Blue Tyrant Academy," Yu Yuanzhen said thoughtfully. "I roughly understand what to do."
"Grandpa, as long as you understand, that's enough." Seeing his grandfather already had a plan, Yu Tianlin stopped pressing the issue. He then asked, "Grandpa, has anything major happened in the clan recently?"
"Nothing serious." Mentioning this made Yu Yuanzhen smile again. "Thanks to the help of the Spirit Bone, your second grandfather and I no longer feel any stagnation or blockage in our cultivation. Our Spirit Power has improved. However, the gap between each level in the Title Douluo realm is quite large, so your second grandfather is still some distance from breaking through again. As for me, the gap is even greater."
"Still, the clansmen at the Spirit Douluo level have all improved with the help of the Spirit Bone. For example, your father has reached level 83, and the Third Elder broke through to level 89 a few days ago."
Dad is level 83.
Yu Tianlin remembered clearly that when his father faced Yang Wudi, he was only level 81. He had not expected him to break through 2 levels so quickly.
But it made sense. After consuming immortal herbs, and with the Spirit Bone strengthening the body or spirit, this pace was not strange at all.
As for the Third Elder, even if he had reached level 89, becoming a Title Douluo would still take time. Even with the Spirit Bone greatly reducing the bottleneck, he still needed enough accumulation to push through. However, if the Third Elder truly succeeded, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would possess 3 Douluos, which was an astonishing foundation.
"No rush, Grandpa," Yu Tianlin said. "As long as there's no bottleneck, that's enough. Even if the gap between level 97 and level 98 is enormous, without a bottleneck it's only a matter of time. With steady cultivation and accumulation, you'll naturally break through."
"Yes, it's all thanks to the Spirit Bone you brought back." Yu Yuanzhen nodded. "At my current speed, if I have another 4 to 5 years, I should be able to break through again."
As for Yu Yuanzhen's strength, although he was only level 97 now, with the support of his Spirit Bone, he should already be comparable to an ordinary Limit Douluo.
Of course, the 3 existing Limit Douluos on the continent were all extraordinary. Two were priests of gods, and one was a successor of a god. Their Spirit Ring configurations far exceeded ordinary people.
For example, Qian Daoliu had 6 black and 3 red Spirit Rings, while Tang Chen and Bo Saixi had 8 black and 1 red. Moreover, all 3 possessed full sets of Spirit Bones. Even with the same cultivation at level 99, their combat strength was vastly above ordinary Limit Douluos.
Yu Yuanzhen's Spirit Rings were comparatively average and could not match that. Fortunately, he also possessed a full set of Spirit Bones, 4 of which were god level Spirit Bones. However, his Spirit Power level was still a limitation. At most, he could only contend with an ordinary Limit Douluo. Compared with those 3 figures connected to gods, he was still somewhat inferior.
But if Yu Yuanzhen could improve by even 1 level and narrow the Spirit Power gap, then with the advantage of his Spirit Bones, he would be able to truly rival them.
At that point, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be a genuine top force on the Douluo Continent, fearless of anyone. Even if Qian Daoliu personally arrived, they would have no reason to be intimidated.
Yu Tianlin considered the continent's top combat forces and quietly analyzed the future situation.
Seeing his grandson lost in thought, completely unaware of his surroundings, Yu Yuanzhen shook his head helplessly and spoke to wake him. "Tianlin, if there's nothing else, go back and rest. You've been running around for Xiao Gang's sake and persuading that stubborn boy. You must be exhausted."
"Oh, wait, Grandpa, there's something else." Yu Tianlin snapped back to himself and said at once, "I plan to return to Thunder Academy in a few days, then use Thunder Academy's quota to participate in the Spirit Master Competition. What do you think, Grandpa?"
"You want to participate in the Spirit Master Competition?" Yu Yuanzhen was a little surprised. "But that would expose your Spirit Ring configuration."
"Grandpa, I'm almost level 50 now, and I also have 2 powerful Spirit Bones. I'm no longer weak. Even if my Spirit Ring configuration is exposed, it doesn't matter," Yu Tianlin said. "Besides, if I participate, I can sweep through my opponents, establish an invincible reputation among the younger generation, and raise the morale of our clan. Isn't that good?"
"And raise morale?" Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand, amused. "You're not a child anymore. Do what you think is best. If you want to participate, then participate."
