Chapter 38 Target, Soul-Shattering Spear
Chen Feng set off again for his next destination, but this time he was no longer alone; Yu Tianlong was with him.
Along the way, the two talked a lot. With Yu Tianlong's company, Chen Feng's boring journey became more interesting. At the same time, Chen Feng also learned more about Yu Tianlong's tragic experiences.
It turns out that Yu Tianlong was just a collateral disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Unlike the brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, who are both grandsons of the current sect leader Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianlong is a member of a clan that is extremely distant. Although he is still an inner disciple, he can only be considered a member of a collateral branch.
Within the sect, the treatment of direct and collateral disciples is vastly different. Whether in terms of living conditions or cultivation, direct disciples receive several times more resources than collateral disciples.
Even if Yu Tianlong's martial soul is the superior fire-attribute Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Yu Tianlong desperately wanted to change his fate, and the opportunity he had was the annual examination held every five years by the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
The so-called annual examination is a competition held every five years as the year draws to a close. The young disciples of the clan compete for the top prize.
With his overwhelming combat power, Yu Tianlong fought his way through the competition, winning seventeen consecutive matches without defeat, and successfully advanced to the finals. This brilliant record was also recognized by many elders within the sect.
The brothers Yu Tianxin and Yu Tianheng also made it to the finals.
The three outstanding young members of the family should have competed fairly based on their own abilities, using their strength to convince their opponents and win the top spot.
However, the final competition format was changed by Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen from 1V1 to a triple threat 1V1V1 match the day before the final began.
"What triple threat tournament? To put it bluntly, it's just that I'm afraid that in a one-on-one situation, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin will be defeated by me one after another, causing the tournament rewards to flow from the direct line to the collateral line." Yu Tianlong said indignantly.
Even after nearly a year, Yu Tianlong still couldn't let go of the past.
Chen Feng asked curiously, "What exactly are the rewards for your annual exams? That they would make a Title Douluo so shameless as to protect his own grandson?"
Changing the competition rules at the last minute—it's amazing that Yu Yuanzhen could come up with such a solution. His favoritism is just too obvious!
Meanwhile, the reward was even more mysterious, making a titled Douluo value it so much.
"The rewards for the annual exam, besides receiving special care from the family in terms of living and cultivation resources, also include that ninth-grade purple ginseng," Yu Tianlong said excitedly, showing how important that so-called purple ginseng was to him.
"Nine-grade purple ginseng?" Chen Feng stroked his chin. He had never seen it before, but he had heard of it.
The wonderful uses of grade nine purple ginseng are that it can enhance a person's qi and blood, transform the meridians, and elevate the physical body.
Once ingested, it will significantly improve one's physical condition; it is a superior medicine with great nourishment.
However, for Chen Feng, it was not as precious as Yu Tianlong had described, because even if the ninth-grade purple ginseng was precious, it was definitely not as effective as any of the immortal herbs he had obtained from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
"Tianlong, don't be angry. In a few days, once we've gathered all our teammates, I'll give you a real celestial ginseng. Then you'll see that what a ninth-grade purple ginseng is nothing," Chenfeng comforted him.
Yu Tianlong said with a strange look in his eyes, "You don't understand ninth-grade purple ginseng at all, that's why you say that."
"No! I just know too much about Grade Nine Purple Ginseng, that's why I said that!" Chen Feng patted Yu Tianlong on the shoulder.
Yu Tianlong couldn't help but glance at Chen Feng a few more times, while secretly wondering why this boy, who was even younger than him, spoke so arrogantly.
But then he thought again, and realized that the other person was indeed more outstanding than him and certainly had the right to be arrogant...
Yu Tianlong continued his story.
In that match, Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin launched a fierce attack on him at the same time from the very beginning. No matter how strong Yu Tianlong was, he could not withstand fighting against two geniuses of the same level at the same time, and he inevitably lost after a long time.
But this is not the reason why he became disabled.
The person who truly crippled his right arm and caused damage to his martial soul was none other than Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen!
Yu Tianlong clutched his right arm, his eyes filled with resentment. "The competition was unfair, so of course I was furious and argued with the sect leader in public. I never expected that just for those few words, he would break my right arm. If it weren't for the intervention of the elders of the family, I probably would have lost my life there."
Two lines of clear tears slid down Yu Tianlong's cheek.
He didn't say anything harsh or threatening, but Chen Feng could sense the resolute tone in his voice. This genius from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family would probably never return to his former homeland.
Chen Feng patted him on the shoulder, unsure how to comfort him. He had never experienced what Yu Tianlong had gone through, but he could empathize with him. The feeling of a prodigy being expelled from his family must have been unpleasant.
Yu Tianlong wiped away his tears. Although his eyes were still red, he forced a smile and asked, "Chen Feng, who is our next teammate?"
He deliberately changed the subject, not wanting to bring up painful memories.
Chen Feng replied, "Have you ever heard of the Broken Clan?"
"The Breaking Clan? You mean the Breaking Clan, one of the four single-attribute affiliated clans of the Haotian Sect?" Yu Tianlong was stunned. It was such an ancient name. If his elders hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't even have known that such a sect existed.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "It was them. Back then, when Tang Hao fought Qian Xunji, the Pope was seriously injured and died after returning to the Spirit Hall. The Spirit Hall held the Clear Sky Sect responsible for this, but unexpectedly, the Clear Sky Sect abandoned all its affiliated clans and went into seclusion in the mountains!"
"Those affiliated clans must hate the Clear Sky Sect very much. Since the Spirit Hall can't find the Clear Sky Sect, they will definitely take their anger out on those affiliated clans," Yu Tianlong continued.
Chen Feng sighed, "Yes, some affiliated clans did not suffer much loss and still hoped to return to the Haotian Sect one day, such as the Power Clan; while other affiliated clans almost suffered annihilation, such as the Destruction Clan."
"The fundamental reason they suffered this calamity was because of the Haotian Sect's escape!"
Yu Tianlong said, "So, our target teammate this time is a Soul Master from the younger generation of the Breaking Clan, right?"
Chen Feng nodded. The Po Clan is very strong. Yang Wudi, who is level 82, was able to hold off a Title Douluo in a head-on fight. Who else could do that?
The Soul-Shattering Spear's sweeping, unstoppable yet detailed fighting style greatly impressed Chen Feng, a trait somewhat similar to the Seven Kill Sword's ultimate technique.
Coincidentally, there was just one suitable person among the younger generation of the Broken Clan.
