Chapter 34: A Titled Douluo Protects the Way, Refining the Whale Jelly
[With Yu Xiaogang's reminder, Yu Yuanzhen finally understood how to proceed.]
[Watching Yu Xiaogang prepare to refine the whale jelly, he couldn't help but feel that every time he interacted with his son, he felt as if his son had transcended the Douluo Continent.]
[Whether it was his way of looking at problems or his understanding of certain things, it was always a level—or even several levels—higher than ordinary people.]
["Hehe, fortunately, this is my son!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen sighed with emotion, then took Yu Xiaogang to a cultivation room the Family had recently built specifically for refining whale jelly.]
[Upon entering the cultivation room, a wave of heat rushed toward them.]
[In the center of the cultivation room sat a figure in meditation.]
[With graying hair and beard, yet possessing a pair of crimson eyebrows, the figure was instantly memorable.]
["Elder Yan, we have come to refine whale jelly!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen called out to Elder Yan, who opened his eyes and looked at Yu Yuanzhen.]
["So it's the Sect Master. You are... it seems your Young Master has reached level ten, much faster than most in the Sect expected."]
[Elder Yan stood up, first greeting Yu Yuanzhen before looking at Yu Xiaogang.]
["Elder Yan, I will have to trouble you in a moment."]
[Yu Xiaogang bowed to Elder Yan.]
[As one of the Upper Three Sects, the experts of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were naturally not limited to just the Sect Master and a few Sect Elders.]
[While the Sect Master and Elders were the core of the Sect, the Sect also had affiliated forces, Guest Elders, and so on.]
[For instance, Thunder Academy, one of the famous Five Elements Academies on the Douluo Continent, was supported by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[In addition, some families with a Legacy of thunder attribute Spirits also had inextricable links with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.]
[Besides forces, there were experts. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had the position of Guest Elder, and every person who could serve as a Guest Elder for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect possessed the strength of a Spirit Douluo.]
[For example, Elder Yan was an eighty-second level Spirit Douluo, whose Spirit was a fire attribute Spirit that followed the extreme path.]
[Because of this, Elder Yan became one of the participants in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's whale jelly affairs.]
["Hahaha, what trouble is there? It's just a small matter."]
["I have been curious about you for a long time, discovering the secret of whale jelly at such a young age."]
["Not simple at all,"]
[Elder Yan remarked, stroking his beard.]
["I only discovered the whale jelly by chance because my talent was poor and I wanted to find a way to change it."]
["To be honest, I really don't know if this is my luck or my misfortune."]
[Yu Xiaogang showed a complex expression.]
["If you ask me, this might be your luck. If the heavens want you to walk an extraordinary path, they will naturally set many obstacles for you."]
["Only by crossing these obstacles can you truly become a powerhouse of a generation."]
["Perhaps those with exceptional talent have a smooth path early on, but if you can catch up, you will definitely not lose to them!"]
[Elder Yan's words were forceful, as if he had already seen the day Yu Xiaogang would rise.]
[Although his words were somewhat flattering, part of him was serious.]
[That is, if Yu Xiaogang could really catch up, he would definitely not lose to those Geniuses.]
["Hahaha, Elder Yan, you're going a bit too far. He's just starting out now; it's still early,"]
[Yu Yuanzhen said he was going too far, but his smile didn't fade at all.]
[After some pleasantries, Elder Yan took the ten thousand year whale jelly handed over by Yu Xiaogang, glanced at Yu Yuanzhen with some surprise, and then possessed his Spirit to begin refining the whale jelly.]
[Elder Yan's Spirit was named the Blazing Mad Lion. As soon as his Spirit possessed him, the temperature in the entire cultivation room instantly soared by more than ten degrees.]
[Holding the whale jelly in his hand and roasting it continuously, in just a few moments, the crystalline whale jelly turned into a pool of sticky liquid.]
[At the same time, a strong fishy smell and fragrance were emitted from the whale jelly together.]
["Kid, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"]
[After finishing the roasting, Elder Yan released his Spirit possession and handed the whale jelly to Yu Xiaogang.]
[Taking the whale jelly, Yu Xiaogang did not hesitate and directly put the boiling hot whale jelly into his mouth.]
["Hiss—"]
[A scorching sensation instantly spread through his mouth. Yu Xiaogang hurriedly gathered spirit power in his mouth and throat to prevent the whale jelly from burning him.]
[After completing this, Yu Xiaogang swallowed the whale jelly, then quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and circulated his spirit power, preparing to refine the medicinal effects of the whale jelly.]
[At the same time, Yu Yuanzhen also came to Yu Xiaogang's side, placing both hands on Yu Xiaogang's shoulders. Vast spirit power entered Yu Xiaogang's body through his hands to protect him.]
[Within moments, a scorching sensation began to spread from within Yu Xiaogang's body.]
[Starting from the abdomen, it flowed toward his limbs and bones.]
["Ugh..."]
[The restless sensation wandered through Yu Xiaogang's body, causing him to groan twice uncontrollably.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang soon suppressed the restlessness in his heart and began to focus on refining the medicinal power.]
[Consequently, before long, Yu Yuanzhen, who was protecting Yu Xiaogang, felt something constantly flowing within the meridians he was guarding.]
[Moreover, more and more things were flowing, and since the meridians were only so wide, they began to gradually swell under the continuous accumulation of these things.]
["This... fortunately Xiaogang asked me to help, otherwise Xiaogang's meridians would definitely have been burst by the medicinal effects of the whale jelly by now."]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked relieved.]
[He had already decided to ask Xiaogang carefully about what else needed attention regarding the whale jelly after returning.]
[If not for Xiaogang, and they rashly let a Genius of the Family refine ten thousand year whale jelly, it would have directly ruined that Genius.]
[With Yu Yuanzhen presiding, although the medicinal power of the ten thousand year whale jelly tried to break through Yu Xiaogang's meridians, unfortunately, it was far too easy for someone with the strength of a Titled Douluo to handle such a matter.]
[So, although Yu Xiaogang felt his body was bloated throughout the process of refining the whale jelly, and the time taken far exceeded what an average person would need,]
[Not a single accident occurred during the entire refining process.]
[Thus, when the sun rose the next day and everything inside Yu Xiaogang's body returned to calm, he slowly opened his eyes.]
["How do you feel?"]
[Yu Yuanzhen, who had been busy all night, asked with a smile.]
["I feel like my body is better than ever before!"]
[Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and clenched his fist. Power filled his limbs and bones. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang even felt like he could do anything.]
[Of course, this feeling was just an illusion brought about by the sudden surge in strength.]
[Yu Xiaogang would not take this feeling as real. True power would have to wait until after he obtained his first spirit ring.]
["The first spirit ring... I wonder what kind of Spirit Ability I'll get."]
