NOVEL WEB Chapter 780 Mutation
"Who?!"
Yu Yuanzhen was puzzled. If there was an Awakener of the Radiant Saint Dragon in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, why keep it hidden?
"Do you have a son named Yu Xiaogang?" Sun Ming asked.
"Him?" Yu Yuanzhen was in disbelief. Whenever this son was mentioned, he felt speechless. The Ten Core Theories—aren't they all valuable materials of the clan?
Yet he went on to organize them and publish them, adding quite a few fallacies.
Fortunately, it was precisely those speculative fallacies that confused most soul masters. Otherwise, even if Yu Xiaogang were his son, he would have to break his legs.
But now that there's such a genius, even if those theories weren't released, this kid would deduce them through practice.
"That incompetent son of mine, with an innate soul power of only 0.5 level—is his martial soul really the Radiant Saint Dragon?" Yu Yuanzhen became concerned with the martial soul and soul power issues.
"As for soul power, I believe you're aware of my 'Martial Soul and Soul Power Cultivation Theory'. Innate soul power merely represents a soul master's cultivation speed without the appropriate soul power circulation method. But with methods exceeding meditation, combined with breathing for soul power circulation, one could reasonably say that just cultivating soul power with only white ten-year soul rings would allow one to become a Titled Douluo in their lifetime."
"Of course, there's a prerequisite: rich resources, no external interference, and single-minded focus."
"Among them, the soul power circulation method is key."
Yu Yuanzhen frowned. After all, this was a theory that hadn't been proven, but he didn't voice it out loud, instead he just stated a try: "My son couldn't even break through the thirtieth level."
"With only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon meditation method, which is slightly better than the external meditation methods, him reaching the level of a Great Soul Master was likely because, as your son, he had plenty of resources."
Sun Ming naturally detailed Yu Xiaogang's cultivation situation at the time, "But due to the so-called 'talent' issue, he was certainly gossiped about by people in the clan, and thus couldn't stand it and ran away..."
"Not going into specifics, I'm unclear, just guessing. But after he left the clan, without resources, his cultivation slowed. Plus, perhaps he went through something, causing him to lose heart in cultivation."
"After thirty, when one reaches middle age, aging begins, muscles relax, the five internal organs begin to deteriorate. This is why someone who can't break through the thirtieth level before the age of thirty will never break through."
"Because people age, to cultivate soul power, the food consumed must first provide for physical activity, only then can the surplus be converted into soul power."
"Although there's energy between heaven and earth that can convert into a soul master's soul power, for most soul masters, it's through eating to enhance soul power."

"After leaving the clan, perhaps except for that period at the Martial Soul Hall, he probably didn't have a nutritious meal."
"Plus, after thirty, as he ages, naturally he can't enhance his soul power anymore."
"I can guarantee, if you brought him home and gradually improved his diet, secretly adding some appropriate tonics, even in his aged state, he could still reach the thirtieth level. After all, he's not so old he can't walk."
Thinking of that insignificant pride in his son's heart, Yu Yuanzhen became angry, not even considering going to find him.
In his thirties, almost forty, stubbornly out there, and still expecting his father to find him?
How does that make sense?
"Tell me, why is his martial soul the Radiant Saint Dragon?"
"Because of the Golden Iron Triangle."
Sun Ming brought out some data on the Golden Iron Triangle, "He has a three-person martial soul fusion skill with Liu Erlong and Flander, the Golden Saint Dragon... Don't you find it strange? Why is a useless martial soul the leader?"
Yu Yuanzhen was stunned.
Indeed, martial soul fusion, with different types, is always led by the stronger martial soul.
If Yu Xiaogang's martial soul really is a malignant mutation, why would he lead? It should be Liu Erlong's Scarlet Fire Dragon leading!
"Most beast martial souls are in an attached state, but Yu Xiaogang's is external. The reason is simple—because wanting to mutate into the Radiant Saint Dragon, at the moment of awakening, it will choose to consume the innate soul power it carries to begin mutation."
"Sadly, how could a mere ten levels of soul power possibly complete the mutation?"
"And based on my research, there's a certain connection between the martial soul and its owner. They might all be too proud. After all, before awakening the martial soul, being the clan's anticipated prodigy—of course there's a strong desire to awaken a stronger martial soul. This intense hope, combined with the fact that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul is a top-tier beast martial soul, makes it easier to communicate with its owner."
"Therefore, his martial soul also wanted to be stronger."
"But unfortunately—"
At this point, Sun Ming sighed deeply, "When a beast martial soul becomes external, it's likely that a mutation issue occurred at awakening, causing a slight gap with itself. But the good part is that it's akin to giving the martial soul a whole new life."
What kind of benefit is this?
Yu Yuanzhen was puzzled. Sun Ming did not continue speaking but instead said, "However, if you want more people in the family to possess the Radiant Saint Dragon martial soul, you could bring your son back, find a non-clan dragon-type martial soul owner for him, cultivate feelings, have several children, and perhaps they can inherit the Radiant Saint Dragon bloodline."
"After all, although there is a gap between his martial soul and himself, the bloodline seems to have mutated successfully, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to lead the martial soul fusion among the three."
Yu Yuanzhen furrowed his brow.
A dragon-type martial soul owner outside the clan?
Where could that be found?
All dragon-type martial soul owners belong to clans, how could they possibly marry outside?
Forget it, it might be better to focus on Tian Heng; that son of mine is considered a lost cause, no need to waste time... but if he leaves any bloodline outside, it needs attention.
"As for Tian Heng..."
"His mutation isn't obvious, but there's a sign. After all, in the martial soul possession state, although it's mainly Thunderclap, there's an almost invisible white light in his lightning," Sun Ming said. "This isn't a soul skill effect but a white light distinct from blue thunder, symbolizing the Radiant Saint Dragon."
"It's just that his mutation focuses on preservation."
"If the first four rings are all soul beasts providing him Thunderclap Skills, then the strengthening and mutation of the martial soul will cease, and it will progress towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
"If he chooses to mutate into the Radiant Saint Dragon, then with two soul rings already possessing thunder attributes, I speculate that before he becomes a Soul Sage, his soul rings must be light-type, and the skills they grant must be amplification and support skills, not attack skills."
"Simply put, Tian Heng needs to choose for himself whether to follow the current path and become a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, ensuring he can at least reach the level of a titled Douluo, especially with you as a Thunderclap Douluo as an example."
"Or give up Thunderclap, add light-type soul rings, and until the Soul Sage stage mutate into a complete Radiant Saint Dragon."
"The second path implies that if he has no means of self-protection, he can rely solely on family protection until he reaches seven-ring Soul Sage, where he can then select strong attack capabilities for his last two soul rings."
"Personally, I think for civilian soul masters, they don't have a choice; given the environment of the continent, without attack-type soul skills, they are prone to an early demise."
"But for soul masters from big clans and sects, attack skills aren't much needed early on. After all, Thunderclap Douluo, how many times did you use attack skills from your first six soul rings after becoming a titled Douluo?"
Yu Yuanzhen was awakened by Sun Ming's words.
Indeed!
They are the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, not those civilian soul masters who have to count every penny. As long as Yu Tianheng can possess a complete Radiant Saint Dragon, the family will only grow stronger!
Moreover, with Yu Tianheng's talent, becoming a titled Douluo is only a matter of time; it will be enough to add two powerful attack skills after becoming a Soul Sage.
As for Self-Created Soul Skills, the family also has them, enough for Tian Heng to use.
Besides, strong titled Douluos use their Self-Created Soul Skills, and soul ring skills at that level, except for the last three being useful, the others are not.
However—
"Tian Heng, what do you think?" Yu Yuanzhen felt that Yu Tianheng's opinion should be considered. After all, Sun Ming had clearly laid out everything, and if Yu Tianheng did not agree, he couldn't force it. After all, this child used to be close to that disappointing son of his; if he also left the family, it would be a disaster.
"Well, that, I don't know."
Yu Tianheng was conflicted in his heart, one being the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon which ensures a status akin to the Clan Leader, a mighty titled Douluo; the other being the potentially promising Radiant Saint Dragon, but before becoming a Soul Sage, he can only use Self-Created Soul Skills and may need protection from others. But if successful, he could elevate the family to a higher level.
So hesitant!
"It seems Tian Heng is indecisive, which aligns with my hypothesis about the relationship between high-level martial souls and character, thoughts, and psyche."
Sun Ming smiled, "Your son might be too proud, leading to a mutation failure since his Innate Soul Power is at most level ten, retaining only the bloodline seed; he is too hesitant but leans towards conservatism, so between the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and Radiant Saint Dragon, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon holds the advantage."
"In a sense, your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's martial soul has indeed reached the pinnacle of beast martial souls, and breaking through can only rely on one's own will."
"But it's not just empty will, as being a dragon type, it will only mutate towards a higher dragon form, and thunder attribute mutations can only be towards fire, light, and at furthest, gold — these three directions."
"If there are mutations into earth, water, wood, or dark, one should check if any soul master joining your clan possesses related attributes; if not, consider whether someone is 'egg-laying' in the clan."
"And even with mutations, due to Innate Soul Power, it's not as if mutation completion happens immediately after awakening."
"In cases like Tian Heng, it's actually optimal; as long as he resolves to take the path of the Radiant Saint Dragon, barring accidents, the Radiant Saint Dragon is assured; otherwise, it's like your son who nearly spent his Innate Soul Power."
