[Why can stacking attributes like wind, fire, thunder, and ice cause a Spirit to evolve, and even when adding new spirit rings, choosing only a certain type of Spirit Beast can also lead to evolution, while attributes like strength and speed cannot?]
[Yu Xiaogang listed out these different attributes.]
["If we were to categorize these attributes, those like wind and thunder can be classified as elemental attributes."]
["Strength, speed, and defense can be grouped as foundational attributes."]
["Dragon, tiger, and bear represent different types of Spirits. If categorized... they should be considered Bloodline attributes."]
[After laying out the three different attribute types, Yu Xiaogang fell into deep thought.]
[Just then, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly spoke up:]
["Since your line of thinking is that stacking attributes can evolve a Spirit, why don't you consider what changes occur during this stacking process?"]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.]
[He immediately took out a piece of paper.]
["The continuous stacking of elemental attributes, such as fire, can increase flame temperature, firepower, and even unleash more powerful exotic flames."]
["The stacking of Bloodline attributes can strengthen the Bloodline. For example, a snake can transform into a flood dragon, and even into a true dragon."]
["But foundational attributes like strength... when stacked, they only seem to increase numerical values without any significant qualitative change?"]
[Yu Xiaogang wrote faster and more fluently, as if he had discovered the truth.]
["...Spirit evolution is a qualitative leap in the Spirit, a fundamental change in its essence."]
["A Spirit that originally could only exhale cold air transforms into one that releases true ice. This is a change that touches the very root of the Spirit."]
["The stacking of Bloodline attributes is the same. The transformation from snake to flood dragon represents a fundamental change in the Spirit's nature."]
["However, attributes like strength and speed, even if increased tenfold or a hundredfold through stacking, will not alter the essence of the Spirit."]
["What they change is merely the numerical values."]
[With the final stroke of his pen, Yu Xiaogang felt deeply satisfied, while Yu Yuanzhen watched in stunned silence.]
[Although what Yu Xiaogang wrote was merely his own thoughts, Yu Yuanzhen was a Titled Douluo and had a certain understanding of the Spirit system.]
[The moment Yu Xiaogang finished writing, Yu Yuanzhen could confirm that these ideas were correct!]
Black World, the Four Single-Attribute Great Families.
Crack!
The sound of a cup shattering on the floor echoed in the room, but no one cared about it at this moment.
The Clan Chiefs of the four single-attribute clans stared blankly at the heavenly curtain where Yu Yuanzhen continuously praised Yu Xiaogang. A suffocating feeling spread within their chests.
"So... that's how it is."
Yang Wudi muttered to himself.
As an intelligent man, Yang Wudi understood after a little thought.
Take Bai He's Family's Needle Tailed Swift as an example.
The core of the Needle Tailed Swift Spirit is the Needle Tailed Swift itself, while speed is merely its advantage.
If spirit rings from avian Spirit Beasts are added to the Needle Tailed Swift Spirit, perhaps the Bloodline of the Needle Tailed Swift could change, leading to evolution.
But speed, no matter how much it is stacked, only increases numerical values, without altering the essence of the Spirit in the slightest.
Having grasped this, Yang Wudi thought about his own Family's Spirit, the Soul Breaking Spear.
Previously, the Yang Family had always added attack-type Spirits to the Soul Breaking Spear, pursuing extreme attack power.
But after seeing Yu Xiaogang's research, Yang Wudi suddenly wanted his descendants to change their approach.
The path of Bloodline stacking was not an option for the Yang Family, but they could take the path of elemental attribute stacking.
For example, adding fire attributes or thunder attributes to the Soul Breaking Spear.
"Hiss... thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so bad."
Yang Wudi stroked his chin, deciding in his heart to ponder this matter carefully later.
As for the other three Clan Chiefs, their moods were not so good, especially Bai He's.
As the Clan Chief of the Bai Family, he had always been proud of their Needle Tailed Swift Spirit because they possessed the fastest speed on the entire Douluo Continent.
Although the premise of having this speed is their insufficient attack capability.
And now, the heavenly curtain tells him that they have taken the wrong path.
By adding speed-type spirit rings, their Family's Spirit will never have the possibility of evolution.
This blow is no less than negating them at their very foundation.
"He... he... that ignorant brat! I absolutely refuse to accept his ideas!"
Trembling, Bai He raised his hand, pointing at Yu Xiaogang in the heavenly curtain and gnashing his teeth as he spoke.
"I don't accept them either. Our four families have been passed down for so many years. The experience we've accumulated over all this time—how could it be shaken by just a few of his words?"
Tai Tan was the first to stand up in support of Bai He. He had already made up his mind: even if Yu Xiaogang in the heavenly curtain ultimately became a Titled Douluo, even if his theories were described as utterly brilliant, his Strength Clan would absolutely never accept them!
[The video continues...]
[Having clarified how to evolve a Spirit, Yu Xiaogang next chose the appropriate path for himself.]
[His own Spirit, the Little Dragon, had undergone a malignant mutation due to his insufficient talent.]
[Originally meant to be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it had mutated into this pitiful state.]
[He couldn't even be sure if its elemental attribute was still the thunder attribute.]
[After all his efforts, Yu Xiaogang couldn't detect any elemental attribute from the Little Dragon.]
[Thus, the path he could choose became very clear.]
[Add spirit rings from Dragon-type Spirit Beasts, and the purer the Dragon Bloodline, the better.]
[Only by undergoing the baptism of Dragon blood might the Little Dragon truly reveal its original form.]
["However, there is still one problem: even if I absorb spirit rings step by step, and even if all my spirit rings are from pure-blood Dragon-type Spirit Beasts, my talent is not enough to support me going very far."]
[Yu Xiaogang rested his chin in his hand.]
[Innate Level 1 Spirit Power—this level of Innate Spirit Power imposed far too great a limitation on Yu Xiaogang.]
["Therefore, to truly defy fate, I must not only pursue extreme attribute stacking in my choice of spirit ring attributes"]
["but also break convention in the age of the spirit rings I obtain!"]
[After settling on the plan he would execute in the future, Yu Xiaogang first thought of those cases where people suffered severe injuries or even died because they absorbed spirit rings that exceeded their limits.]
[Each of these cases told Yu Xiaogang that this was not an easy path to attempt.]
[But recalling the scornful gazes of the Family members during the Awakening ceremony,]
[and the comments he had heard these past days in the Family—calling him a failure, a disappointment, even mocking Yu Yuanzhen directly—]
[at the thought of these, Yu Xiaogang's fists unconsciously clenched.]
[Thus, the faint flicker of hesitation in his eyes was soon replaced by determination.]
[It was merely a matter of risking severe injury or even death.]
[If he didn't even dare to face this danger, how could he ever defy fate?]
