Yu Yuanzhen's jealousy was unknown to outsiders.
At this moment, however, almost every father with a son felt the same as Yu Yuanzhen, envying the other for having such a sensible son.
Recalling what their own sons were doing at age five, they could only lament that comparisons are truly odious!
[The video continues...]
[Having completed his first day's running task, Yu Xiaogang was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground, unwilling to move a muscle.]
[Seeing this, Yu Yuanzhen stepped forward, took Yu Xiaogang into his arms, and walked toward a room that was constantly emitting steam.]
[As a member of a great Family, after completing basic training, a medicinal bath was indispensable.]
[Through the medicinal bath, one could not only quickly recover energy and prevent injuries,]
[but also further strengthen the body that had just been exercised.]
[As the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the resources Yu Yuanzhen could mobilize were all top-tier.]
[Although he inevitably had to listen to the Elders' nagging and complaints while mobilizing these resources,]
[he was more than willing!]
[His son was so sensible, worrying that poor talent would embarrass his father, so he began training even before his Spirit had awakened.]
[Under such circumstances, if he, as a father, didn't fully support his son, wouldn't he be failing his son's intentions?]
[Arriving at the medicinal bath room, Yu Yuanzhen felt the water temperature, nodded in satisfaction, and then placed Yu Xiaogang into the water.]
["Hiss! It's so hot!"]
[As soon as he entered the water, the scalding medicinal liquid stimulated Yu Xiaogang so much that he couldn't help but sit up. His grimacing expression made Yu Yuanzhen burst into laughter.]
["Hahaha, bear with it. After all, only this way can you better absorb the medicinal effects!"]
[Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang immediately forced down his urge to get up and endured the pain, sitting still in the medicinal liquid.]
[Soon, as the medicinal bath continued and Yu Xiaogang adapted to the temperature, he felt the liquid stimulating his body again.]
[Especially his legs, which were sore and swollen from running; under the stimulation of the medicine, they alternated between aching and throbbing, causing Yu Xiaogang's expression to shift constantly as if he were performing a face-changing act.]
[Time passed minute by minute. Just as Yu Xiaogang thought he would have to stay in the water forever, Yu Yuanzhen spoke:]
["Alright, you can come out now!"]
[Hearing these words, Yu Xiaogang felt as if he had been granted a grand pardon. He scrambled out of the water as fast as possible and looked back at the medicinal liquid with lingering fear.]
[For the first time in his life, he felt that taking a bath was such a painful ordeal.]
["How was it? If you still insist on cultivating, everything you did today will be your future routine."]
[Yu Yuanzhen's voice carried a hint of pressure.]
["I can persevere!"]
[Without a second's hesitation, Yu Xiaogang said categorically.]
["Very good! As expected of my son, Yu Yuanzhen's son!"]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Yu Yuanzhen nodded with satisfaction and once again stroked Yu Xiaogang's head.]
[With a son like this, how could he not feel gratified?]
[In the morning, Yu Xiaogang completed his physical training and medicinal bath. In the afternoon, under Yu Yuanzhen's guidance, he underwent meditation training.]
[As a top-tier Sect on the Douluo Continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect naturally had its own exclusive meditation method.]
[Unfortunately, the meditation method of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was better suited for those who had awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit.]
[At the very least, one needed a lightning-attribute martial soul.]
[Therefore, for now, Yu Xiaogang could only use a basic meditation method.]
[Even so, the basic meditation method he used was far superior to the common versions circulated throughout the Douluo Continent.]
[Under Yu Yuanzhen's guidance, Yu Xiaogang began to meditate. Through meditation, he absorbed the spirit power from heaven and earth into his body, converting it into his own spirit power.]
[Unfortunately, because his Spirit had not yet awakened, Yu Xiaogang felt no change after a session of meditation; he was exactly the same as before.]
[However, Yu Xiaogang was not discouraged. If one could immediately notice changes after just a bit of meditation, it wouldn't be the case that cultivation on the Douluo Continent only began after the Martial Soul Awakening.]
[After finishing his daytime cultivation, Yu Xiaogang used his evenings to study knowledge about the Douluo Continent.]
[Although Yu Yuanzhen had told Yu Xiaogang much about the Douluo Continent over the past five years, those were only superficial accounts.]
[To gain a truly deep understanding, he had to study the books himself.]
[During this learning process, Yu Xiaogang did not work in isolation.]
[Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would immediately ask Yu Yuanzhen and then reflect on it himself.]
[For example...]
["Father, according to the Family records, the maximum limit for obtaining a first spirit ring is around four hundred years, but some people fail even when absorbing a three-hundred-year spirit ring."]
["What do you think influences this?"]
[Yu Xiaogang asked, looking at Yu Yuanzhen beside him.]
["That's simple. The record for the highest limit was set by a Genius of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect who possessed a Beast Spirit."]
["Most Beast Spirits are born with powerful physiques, so the age of the spirit rings they can obtain can be higher."]
["Tool Spirits do not have the same advantages as our Beast Spirits in this regard. This holds true even for the Clear Sky Hammer, the world's number one Tool Spirit."]
[Yu Yuanzhen said with a face full of pride.]
["In other words, a strong physique is a necessary condition for obtaining high-age spirit rings..."]
[Yu Xiaogang silently noted this information and continued browsing through the Sect's records.]
[Over the next six months or so, Yu Xiaogang began his fulfilling daily routine.]
[His actions, observed by the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, caused them to shake their heads frequently.]
[He's rushing to Cultivate before his Spirit has even awakened; it seems his mind isn't fully clear yet.]
[Just like that, the time for the Martial Soul Awakening arrived.]
[Because there were no particularly dazzling figures for this year's Martial Soul Awakening, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect did not hold a grand Awakening Ceremony.]
[Perhaps Yu Xiaogang's status as the son of a Titled Douluo made him dazzling enough, but due to his years of being in a daze, no one believed he could awaken any powerful Spirit.]
[And the reality was exactly as everyone had expected.]
[As Yu Xiaogang stood in the center of the Awakening Formation, golden light enveloped him, and dragons roared, but then the light shattered with a bang.]
[A small beast resembling a pig appeared at Yu Xiaogang's feet.]
[Regarding this result, the crowd, who never held any expectations, naturally felt no disappointment. Only Yu Yuanzhen, looking at his son in the Awakening Formation, had a deep worry flashing in his eyes.]
[Then, during the Innate Spirit Power test, the final result was Rank 1.]
[The Awakening Ceremony belonging to Yu Xiaogang came to an end.]
[Meanwhile, beneath the heavenly curtain, all the powers were in an uproar!]}],
