Chapter 233: Obtaining the Artifact, the Wind-Fixing Pearl
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned upon hearing Mo Hui's words and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that, Lord Storm?"
In his view, his request wasn't excessive. While the cultivation experience of a Titled Douluo was rare and precious, only Mo Hui and his son Yu Xiaogang possessed disembodied beast spirits. Even if the method were shared, it would be meaningless to others.
Seeing his expression, Mo Hui explained, "I once studied at Notting College and saw Yu Xiaogang's Spirit, Luo Sanpao. If it had just awakened, perhaps my experience would have helped.
But now, his spirit's potential has long been drained by reckless training. Even if you had my cultivation insights, it would be useless to him."
"Is there really no other way?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked, somewhat unwilling to give up.
Mo Hui replied bluntly, "Unless he encounters a heaven-defying opportunity, he'll never break through level thirty.
It's a shame. Luo Sanpao is actually a decent spirit. If properly cultivated, he could have become formidable. But unfortunately, he chose the wrong spirit rings for the first two."
"Wrong spirit rings?"
Yu Yuanzhen was startled. Yu Xiaogang's first two spirit rings had been chosen with the guidance of the clan's traditional methods. Even the soul beasts selected were of decent quality. Yet someone now claimed the choices were wrong?
Mo Hui glanced at him and said, "You've probably heard of the Golden Holy Dragon, right?"
"Of course. It's a very rare and powerful dragon-type spirit beast. In fact, my son's spirit fusion technique happens to be the Golden Holy Dragon."
Yu Yuanzhen didn't quite understand why Mo Hui mentioned this, but answered instinctively. As he did, his expression darkened slightly—mentioning Yu Xiaogang always reminded him of the unresolved matter with Liu Erlong.
Mo Hui continued calmly, "Then do you know why their fusion technique is the Golden Holy Dragon?"
Yu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment, then his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Could it be...?"
"Indeed. Yu Xiaogang's spirit might have originally been capable of mutating into the Golden Holy Dragon. But due to his extremely low innate spirit power, the transformation failed, and it became Luo Sanpao instead.
The Golden Triangle's fusion technique is essentially making up for what Luo Sanpao lacks."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was both stunned and bitter.
He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for telling me."
If even someone like Mo Hui—who cultivated a disembodied beast spirit to the level of Titled Douluo—said it was hopeless, then there really was no hope. His son, Yu Xiaogang, was destined to remain a cripple.
Mo Hui gave a slight nod and said, "As for your request to help hunt a 100,000-year soul beast—I accept."
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's most outstanding junior was Yu Tianxin, whose cultivation had greatly accelerated thanks to Mo Hui's inspiration.
During the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition, Yu Tianxin had already reached level 48, while Yu Tianheng, who was slightly older, was only level 43.
Four years later, Yu Tianxin would be around 25 years old and likely at the Soul Emperor level.
But even with such talent, reaching Titled Douluo would still take twenty years. And in twenty years, who knew if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would even still exist?
If they wanted to survive Spirit Hall's unification of the continent, they needed strong allies now.
"Thank you, Your Excellency Storm. Please follow me."
By now, Yu Yuanzhen had recovered from the bitter truth about his son. Hearing Mo Hui agree to help them hunt a 100,000-year soul beast, he was overjoyed and quickly led him toward the clan treasury.
As for the possibility of Mo Hui robbing them? Yu Yuanzhen wasn't worried.
At the level of Titled Douluo, very few treasures still had value. Unless it was a ten-thousand-year soul bone or an extremely rare artifact, most items were irrelevant.
With Mo Hui's current power, anything he truly desired would be brought to him—there was no need for petty theft.
Soon, Yu Yuanzhen led Mo Hui to the treasury and opened the heavy stone doors with his clan leader's authority.
"Lord Storm, please enter."
He gestured respectfully.
As they stepped inside, Mo Hui scanned the room. Though the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's treasury couldn't compare with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it still lived up to its status as one of the three great sects.
Mo Hui even spotted a ten-thousand-year soul bone, likely one of the three stored as backup, matching the three that Yu Yuanzhen himself had absorbed.
Following the guidance of the Wind God Bow, Mo Hui soon located his target.
Before him stood a dragon-scale shield, inlaid at the center with a fist-sized green bead that radiated a soft, azure light.
Seeing Mo Hui gaze at it intently, Yu Yuanzhen introduced it,
"This is the Dragon Scale Shield, a defensive artifact forged long ago. It can withstand the full-force attack of a Soul Emperor. It's decent for juniors. Is this what you're looking for?"
"I think so. I'll take it."
As he spoke, Mo Hui stepped forward and plucked the glowing bead from the center of the Dragon Scale Shield.
Yu Yuanzhen was momentarily surprised, but said nothing.
The Dragon Scale Shield was already a gift to Mo Hui, and how he used it was his business.
Judging by his actions, it was clear what Mo Hui truly desired was that bead.
As Mo Hui took the bead, it suddenly radiated a dazzling green light, and the dust around it dispersed, revealing its true form—the Wind-Fixing Pearl.
"So that's what it was! This bead is far more valuable than the Dragon Scale Shield. We were blind to overlook it..."
Yu Yuanzhen was amazed.
Still, it was only surprise. No matter how unique or mysterious the bead was—what could it do for a level 95 Titled Douluo like him?
The Dragon Scale Shield was already considered a divine artifact in the soul master world—representing the pinnacle of forging. Yet even it could only withstand the strength of a Soul Emperor.
Even if the Wind-Fixing Pearl was stronger, it was likely useless to him now.
