"When thunder rolls through the dark clouds, when lightning illuminates the earth, I come with the storm, bringing the wrath of the gods!"
...Nuoding City
Spirit Hall!
Thick dark clouds appeared in the sky, and golden lightning arcs streaked across the heavens, illuminating most of Nuoding City.
"In...it's Innate Full Spirit Power!"
Inside the Awakening Hall, Su Yuntao stared in astonishment at the young boy before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He had once again awakened with Innate Full Spirit Power, and this time it wasn't some Blue Silver Grass.
"My Spirit is Lei Yi?"
Lu Yuan looked at the Spirit he had awakened with a bewildered and somewhat incredulous expression. Its familiar yellow and white humanoid body, enveloped in electricity, exuded a kingly demeanor at all times.
This was Lei Yi, the king of electric-type Spirits, who would even achieve the status of Electric Spirit King in the future!
Even if it was just Lei Yi in its most ordinary form now, it surely wouldn't be weaker than any super Spirit.
Moreover, with Lei Yi's power, it simply couldn't be compared to the Spirits on the Douluo Continent.
"Zzz..."
Golden electric currents floated around Lu Yuan's body, and his black, messy hair was now turning golden.
Su Yuntao took a deep breath, looking at the boy whose hair had turned golden. Unable to hide his excitement, he immediately extended an invitation: "Young man, what is your name? Would you like to join our Spirit Hall?"
"With your talent, if you join our Spirit Hall, in the future, even if a Titled Douluo doesn't take you as a Disciple, at least a legendary Spirit Douluo will personally guide your Cultivation."
"My name is Lu Yuan. I'm sorry, Uncle, but I don't want to join any faction for now. Can I consider it after I finish Elementary Academy?"
Lu Yuan was a Transmigrator, and because he knew what Spirit Hall was truly like, he didn't want to join it.
Although Spirit Hall had the benevolent act of helping common Spirit Masters Awaken their Spirits, the current Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong was a mentally unstable woman, and even in the anime, she committed the evil act of absorbing Spirit Masters for Cultivation!
Lu Yuan believed that with his talent, if he joined Spirit Hall, he would definitely be directly recruited into Spirit City, and might even become part of the legendary Golden Generation.
But this would also bring him directly into Bibi Dong's sights. At least, Lu Yuan didn't want Bibi Dong to know about him so quickly. If he were absorbed, that would truly be a tragedy.
"Alas, is that so? That's truly a pity."
"But Elementary Academy is good too. How about this, I'll give you a certificate, and you can report directly to Nuoding Academy!"
A hint of regret flashed across Su Yuntao's face, but he quickly regained his composure.
Whether this child named Lu Yuan joined Spirit Hall or not, he was bound to become a strong individual in the future, and it was certainly not wrong to befriend a strong person.
Moreover, a Genius with Innate Full Spirit Power should at least be able to become a Spirit Douluo in the future. Such a person absolutely couldn't be forced. Leaving a good impression now, even if he didn't gain anything in the future, as long as he could be remembered, it would be a good thing.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Lu Yuan's face lit up. He was an orphan and had been wondering how to get into Nuoding Academy. Although with his talent, there was a high chance he could even get free admission, now that he had Su Yuntao's certificate and recommendation, everything would be much easier.
Seeing Lu Yuan's happy expression, Su Yuntao also nodded slightly and smiled.
He had thought it through. While having Lu Yuan join Spirit Hall could bring him considerable benefits, it was better to simply go along with Lu Yuan's wishes.
After all, providing help in a time of need was far better than adding flowers to embroidery.
As for whether to report it upwards, Su Yuntao decided to play ignorant.
Since that Innate Full Spirit PowerBlue Silver Grass wasn't reported, this one wouldn't be reported either.
Moreover, even if he reported it from his position, most of what he gained would be stripped away layer by layer by the bishops above him.
What eventually reached his hands might only be enough resources to sustain his Cultivation to the three-ring level.
Since that was the case, he might as well play dumb. Anyway, it would be more or less the same... Leaving Spirit Hall, Lu Yuan looked at the report in his hand, and his eyes became resolute.
He then walked towards Nuoding Academy.
After his Transmigration to the Douluo Continent and discovering he was born in Nuoding City,
He eagerly inquired around and indeed found a blacksmith named Tang Hao in Saint Spirit Village, and this Blacksmith Tang also had a son.
His son was reportedly about the same age as him. Understanding the current timeline, Lu Yuan immediately felt confident.
After all, if he were younger than Tang San, everything would have been completely ruined.
All those Opportunities could have slipped past him.
But now that he had awakened Lei Yi as his Spirit, and was even about the same age as Tang San, there was nothing to worry about.
This era would ultimately be his era; there would be no more opportunities for Tang San to rise.
However, if Tang San didn't provoke him, then it seemed he didn't need to forcibly create enmity with him... "Hahaha, Innate Full Spirit PowerBlue Silver Grass, old man, scram!"
"Ouch, he hit me! You stinky brat, I'll kill you!"
Just as he arrived at Nuoding Academy, Lu Yuan's steps involuntarily paused, and a rather strange expression appeared on his face.
Was he witnessing a famous scene?
Following the sound, he saw a medium-built gatekeeper knocked to the ground by a plain-looking child.
Was this Tang San? Before Awakening the Blue Silver Emperor, he indeed looked somewhat like a passerby, completely lacking any distinguishing features, even appearing a bit dark and skinny.
Lu Yuan quickly noticed Tang San raising his arm, and beneath his arm hung a special item.
Was this the Silent Sleeve Dart, one of the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapons?
But killing someone on the street, was this Tang San a bit too impulsive?
"Stop!"
Just then, a middle-aged man with a short, flat haircut walked out. His temples were graying, his body was thin, and his face wasn't particularly handsome.
Yet, his appearance immediately drew everyone's attention.
Soon, Yu Xiaogang obtained Tang San's Spirit Hall certificate, then turned and sternly reprimanded the gatekeeper.
Afterward, he led Tang San towards Nuoding Academy.
Before leaving, Yu Xiaogang seemed to notice Lu Yuan's gaze, turned to look, and seeing it was just a child, immediately withdrew his gaze.
After all, how could a little brat be as important as Tang San with his twin spirits? He needed to think about how to trick Tang San into becoming his Disciple.
This was Yu Xiaogang. No, how could this flat-haired guy charm Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong like that?
He wasn't handsome, his spirit power was only twenty-nine ranks, and his Spirit was a Luo San Pao that only knew how to fart.
If this Yu Xiaogang were like his descendant, the Spirit Douluo, then it would be understandable, but as he was now, how could he?
