Yu Xiaogang, not knowing what Qian Xunji planned to do next, returned to Spirit Hall Academy.
Since he could no longer read the core collection of books in Spirit Hall, he would use the time he previously spent studying to digest the knowledge he had already acquired.
And while he was at it, he would research some of the things currently in his possession.
"Where should I start?"
Yu Xiaogang began to ponder.
Currently, what Yu Xiaogang most wanted to research was the line of Light of Spirit and Light of Matter.
His father's Thunder of Destruction was so incredibly powerful, so a Move of the same Rank with the Light Attribute surely wouldn't be weak either.
It was just a pity that this path wasn't that simple.
Light of Spirit was light infused with mental power.
Previously, with the help of the little dragon, Yu Xiaogang had successfully unleashed a Light Attribute Move that contained mental power.
But in Yu Xiaogang's view, the power of that Move probably wasn't the true Light of Spirit.
If one were to calculate it using a progress bar, with fully unleashing the Light of Spirit being one hundred percent, he was currently at maybe only a few percent.
According to Yu Xiaogang's guess, the true Light of Spirit should be the kind where the two powers were completely merged into one.
It was like mixing two waters of different colors together to form a new color of water.
Once he completed the Light of Spirit, he would use the same method to complete the Light of Matter.
Once both these Moves were mastered, he would be able to unleash one of them without relying on the little dragon's assistance, and the little dragon would be able to unleash the other.
Only then would it be time for him to evolve toward his final form.
"It's a long way off."
Shaking his head, Yu Xiaogang temporarily gave up on the idea of focusing his main energy on this aspect.
There was no rush for this; his father had only mastered the final Thunder of Destruction at this age, and it still managed to attract the God of Destruction to descend.
He now had such a clear path, plus the little dragon's assistance; if he couldn't produce results by the time he reached his father's age, it would prove that he wasn't suited for researching this kind of thing.
It was even possible that humans simply had no way to actively master this ability.
Temporarily setting aside research on the advanced Light Attribute, since research on Self-Created Spirit Ability could be done at any time, Yu Xiaogang turned his attention to the Spirit Bones in his hands.
He touched his storage soul tool with his hand, and the next second, several Spirit Bones appeared in Yu Xiaogang's hands.
Playing with the Spirit Bone in his hand, it felt cold to the touch and was very light; it didn't seem like something formed from a real bone at all.
"So, what kind of secret is hidden within this Spirit Bone?"
Yu Xiaogang began his research with a curious expression.
Taking out some tools, Yu Xiaogang picked up a Spirit Bone, tapping here and looking there, recording everything he observed.
"It's quite hard, but I've heard that Spirit Bones can also be destroyed. I don't know if that's true or false."
Yu Xiaogang muttered.
Anyway, books said they could be destroyed, but in reality, no one had ever tried it.
Not even with a ten-year Spirit Bone.
"So, should I find a way to dismantle one and see what the situation is inside?"
Yu Xiaogang was silent for a moment, then finally made up his mind.
Do it!
He had already prepared for the possibility of damaging the Spirit Bones anyway; dismantling one or two was no big deal.
"However, the tools in my room can't dismantle a Spirit Bone; I'll have to go to the Sect's residence."
To verify some sudden inspirations, Yu Xiaogang's room was filled with many tools for research.
Whenever he couldn't perform an experiment in his room, Yu Xiaogang would go to a residence in Spirit City.
That was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's residence in Spirit City. As the core of Douluo Continent, basically all major powers would send people to stay here year-round to monitor the news of Spirit Hall.
That was why those residences existed.
And in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's residence, besides housing members of the Sect, the extra rooms included a study and laboratory specifically for Yu Xiaogang's use.
One could only say that having the backing of a major Sect and status was indeed very convenient.
Even if his Family wasn't here, he could still have a laboratory of his own.
Leaving his room, Yu Xiaogang knocked on the door of Lin Lang's residence next door.
He didn't know if his own strength would be enough to dismantle this Spirit Bone, so Yu Xiaogang decided to call for Lin Lang.
"Young Sect Master? What happened?"
Lin Lang, who opened the door, asked immediately upon seeing Yu Xiaogang.
"There are some things I need your help with, Uncle Lin."
Yu Xiaogang said directly.
"Alright then."
Lin Lang, having absolutely no idea what he was about to do, agreed immediately.
Their Young Sect Master was an extremely intelligent person; he must listen to him!
This was a thought that had deepened ever since Lin Lang began protecting Yu Xiaogang.
Especially after this trip to the Sunset Forest, Lin Lang completely understood what an extraordinary person their Young Sect Master was.
Listening to a smart person was never wrong!
However.
"Dismantle a Spirit Bone?"
Lin Lang, not knowing that the Sect had obtained a huge pile of Spirit Bones, widened his eyes, his breathing quickened, and his voice even became a bit sharp.
He couldn't imagine what kind of prodigal son would do such a Heaven-Defying thing as dismantling a Spirit Bone.
If you have a Spirit Bone, isn't it better to use it to cultivate Family members? Why would you want to dismantle it?
"Don't be anxious, Uncle Lin; it's just a ten-year Spirit Bone."
Yu Xiaogang took out a few ten-year Spirit Bones and placed them in front of Lin Lang.
Lin Lang, who had never seen so many Spirit Bones at once, only felt his breathing quicken; the World before his eyes was left with nothing but these Spirit Bones.
After being brought back to his senses by Yu Xiaogang's call and realizing these were only ten-year Spirit Bones, his mood finally calmed down.
However, even so, he still didn't approve of dismantling these Spirit Bones.
"Even... even if they are just ten-year Spirit Bones, dismantling them is just too much of a waste of natural resources."
Although he wouldn't absorb a ten-year Spirit Bone even if he obtained one, he was, after all, a Spirit Douluo.
There were many members in the Sect stuck at Rank 39, 49, 59, or even 69.
If they could obtain a Spirit Bone, even a ten-year Spirit Bone, they might be able to achieve a Breakthrough.
"Uh... although it is indeed a bit wasteful, Uncle Lin, aren't you curious about whether there are any hidden secrets inside this Spirit Bone?"
"If these were Spirit Bones over a hundred years old, that would be one thing, but for ten-year Spirit Bones, it really wouldn't be much of a waste."
"What if there is a big secret inside this Spirit Bone, and it's discovered by our action this time? That would be a good thing for us too."
Speaking of this, seeing that Lin Lang still had an expression of resistance, Yu Xiaogang could only sigh.
"Uncle Lin, do you know why I've been able to discover so many secrets over the years that others couldn't?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Lin Lang pondered for a moment.
"You are good at discovering and summarizing?"
"There is that factor, but more importantly, as long as I think of something, I will do it."
Yu Xiaogang shook the Spirit Bone in his hand.
"Just like right now, I'm curious about the secrets of Spirit Bones, so I will research them, even if I don't mind losing some Spirit Bones for it."
"But when it comes to you all, it becomes a fear of wasting resources, so you can only conduct some of the simplest research."
"As for the rest, if you can't use them, you'd rather let them gather dust in the warehouse than suffer any loss."
"Tell me, with this kind of approach, how could you possibly discover those secrets that are truly hidden?"
