The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was unlike the Clear Sky Clan with a long list of titled members, nor did it have outstanding Title Douluo like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
As the weakest among the top three clans, it had only one top expert, Yu Yuanzhen, a level 95 power-type Douluo.
Besides the top expert, the younger generation lacked prodigies like the Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Clan, with only a few Soul Kings, Soul Emperors, and one runaway named Yu Xiaogang.
What the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lacked most was fresh blood. The arrival of Yu Tianming and Yu Tianxin was truly timely aid in dire need.
Especially Yu Tianming, born with full innate soul power and a mutated martial soul, had the potential to become a Title Douluo as long as he trained steadily.
Yu Yuanzhen quickly strode to Yu Tianming and placed a large hand on his shoulder, laughing heartily.
He thought, 'If I can train this child before I pass on, the clan's place among the top three could be preserved or even improved.'
So he said to those present, "Yu Tianming has extraordinary talent, unmatched in his generation—a blessing from the heavens for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. From this day forth, he shall be the clan's Young Sect Master."
The clan was upheld solely by Yu Yuanzhen, and he held absolute authority. The elders, hearing this, showed no hesitation and immediately cupped their fists toward Yu Tianming.
"Young Sect Master."
They then told Yu Tianming and Yu Tianxin to move into Yu Yuanzhen's residence where he would personally guide their training.
Yu Tianming and Yu Tianxin exchanged a glance and answered in unison, "We will follow Grandfather's arrangements."
…
The two followed Yu Yuanzhen to the clan leader's residence, arriving at the place where they would live.
Yu Yuanzhen pointed to two small walled courtyards nearby and said, "You two will live here from now on."
These small courtyards resembled side residences in a traditional compound. The space was wide, luxuriously decorated, and exuded a special grandeur.
Yu Yuanzhen then beckoned the steward to bring over three girls, all eight or nine years old, tall for their age and with proper features. He introduced them to the boys.
"They are Ah Zhu, Ah Zhi, and A Bi. Their martial souls are Fire Snake, Thunder Eel, and Green Bird, all with dragon bloodlines. From now on, they will be your attendants. Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi will follow Tianming. A Bi will follow Tianxin."
Upon hearing this, Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi bowed to Yu Tianming.
"Young Master."
Yu Yuanzhen then handed each of them a booklet.
"This contains the clan's inherited Dragon Meditation Technique. Ah Zhu and the others have already practiced it for years. You may ask them if you have questions. Once you've learned it, I'll personally help you select spirit rings."
After giving these instructions, Yu Yuanzhen turned and left for his own residence.
As Yu Yuanzhen walked away, Yu Tianxin turned to Yu Tianming.
"Let's have a friendly spar sometime. I want to see how strong you really are."
Yu Tianxin was not one to settle for mediocrity. In the original story, he became the top successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan through sheer effort.
Now, facing Yu Tianming, he was not intimidated by the difference in talent. On the contrary, seeing Ghidorah for the first time had only made him more unwilling to accept defeat.
Yu Tianxin's temperament ran in the family. His aunt Liu Erlong had a fiery temper and a competitive nature. His grandfather Yu Luomian had invested in Blue Tyrant Academy for her but refused to bring her back to the clan for the sake of pride. (In the comic, he even betrayed the clan to break through to Soul Douluo.)
Having spent years together, Yu Tianming understood Yu Tianxin's nature well and was happy to see it.
'Good. He still has the same fire.'
He smiled.
"Work hard then. Let's both become stronger."
Then he entered the courtyard with Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi.
The courtyard had already been tidied up, the house fully furnished.
Ah Zhu bowed slightly.
"The clan leader instructed us to clean the place yesterday, so the young master could move in right away."
Ah Zhi added, "The young master's bedroom is on the second floor. Our rooms are across from it."
Hearing them repeatedly call him young master reminded him of Murong Fu from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, making him laugh and shake his head.
'Young master, huh? This really feels like a different world.'
He turned to the girls.
"Enough with the formalities. Introduce your martial souls and levels first."
Ah Zhu spoke clearly, "My martial soul is the Fire Snake. I was born with level 4 soul power. I'm ten years old this year and currently at level 14."
She then introduced Ah Zhi.
"Her martial soul is the Thunder Eel, also born with level 4 soul power. She's nine years old, just obtained her first soul ring, and is now at level 12."
Yu Tianming nodded.
'Their talent is decent. With training, they could become mid-tier strength in the clan.'
'Having them serve as attendants and practice the Dragon Meditation Technique clearly means Grandfather has something in mind.'
Yu Tianming himself had no impure intentions. He saw the girls as future team members, and if they proved loyal enough, they could become trusted aides.
Without wasting time, Yu Tianming eagerly began studying the Dragon Meditation Technique.
The clan's technique had no special effects but was slightly more suited to dragon-type soul masters than common meditation methods.
In this world, meditation methods were not like cultivation manuals in martial arts fiction. They were simple, easy to learn, and Yu Tianming mastered it within the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Time flew when immersed in training. By the time Yu Tianming opened his eyes again, the sun had already set.
He sent Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi to the kitchen for food and brewed a pot of tea to enjoy alone.
Just then, a knock came from outside. Someone was visiting, so Yu Tianming went to open the door himself.
Standing at the door was a young man with short black hair, deep-set eyes, and a scruffy beard. It was the so-called Master of Spirits, Yu Xiaogang.
Since returning to the clan two years ago, Yu Xiaogang had stayed secluded in his courtyard. Yu Tianming had only seen him a few times.
Even when they met, Yu Xiaogang ignored him. Only Yu Tianheng visited his courtyard often and was more familiar with him.
As the saying goes, people do not visit temples for no reason.
'He must have come because he heard about my martial soul.'
Yu Xiaogang stood at the door, chin slightly raised, hands behind his back, putting on the airs of a master.
"If you're not going to invite your second uncle inside, are you planning to keep me standing out here?"
Though his second uncle was infamous within the clan and had a poor reputation in the soul master world, he was still family. Yu Tianming would not turn him away.
He opened the door.
"Please come in."
Yu Xiaogang sat straight in the main seat, poured himself some tea, and slowly said, "I heard you awakened a rare mutated martial soul, but unfortunately, no one in the clan knows how it should be cultivated."
He looked up.
"I too have a variant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul. Though mine is a defective mutation with low soul power, I've studied martial souls for over twenty years."
"I've guided another dragon-type variant soul master in acquiring spirit rings. In the field of martial soul theory, I'm second to none. If you allow me to guide you, I promise to help you fully develop your martial soul and become the youngest Title Douluo."
Yu Tianming sipped his tea and nodded slightly.
'He makes some sense. Yu Xiaogang's knowledge of martial soul theory does surpass that of ordinary soul masters. His experience with Liu Erlong's soul ring also gives him practical credibility.'
'Most importantly, he's extremely confident.'
Yu Tianming raised his eyes.
"Then what do you think is the right way to develop my martial soul? How should I attach soul rings?"
