Chapter 12 Enjoying Life
"Tianheng, your combat experience is good, but compared to your younger brother, you're still slightly inferior," Yu Yuanzhen said solemnly, looking at his eldest grandson.
"And Tianxin, you and Tianheng are of similar strength. Your task for the next two is to obtain the Gold Soul Qualification in the Great Soul Arena within three years! This is a test of your strength. Only by constantly fighting against different opponents can you perfect your combat skills."
The two showed no dissatisfaction with Yu Yuanzhen's teachings, accepting them humbly. They also felt no jealousy towards Yu Tianyun, understanding that Yu Tianyun's current strength was not solely due to his innate full soul power talent, but rather to his more diligent cultivation than they had.
"As for you, Tianyun..." Yu Yuanzhen turned to look at Yu Tianyun again, frowning slightly. He didn't know what to say, because there was really nothing to criticize about Yu Tianyun.
Yu Tianyun stood quietly, his gaze firm and confident. He knew his grandfather had high hopes for him, and he had always responded to those expectations with outstanding performance. However, his grandfather's hesitation at this moment left him somewhat puzzled.
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath and continued, "As for you, Tianyun, don't be arrogant. The path of a Soul Master is still long. This is just the beginning. If you slack off, other geniuses will catch up with you. One step behind leads to another. However, you also need to rest from time to time. Only by combining work and rest can you go further. Life cannot be just about cultivation. You also need to learn to enjoy life. Some things, once missed, cannot be recovered."
At this point, Yu Yuanzhen seemed to remember something, and his eyes darkened slightly. Then he added, "You need to rest for a week. You've been too tense. What you need most now is to relax a bit."
Upon hearing the word "relax," Yu Tianyun's heart stirred.
He glanced subconsciously at Xiaoyue, the pretty maid beside him, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.
Xiaoyue keenly caught that look, but she didn't understand its meaning; she just felt that the young master's expression was a little strange.
After their duel ended, Yu Tianyun chatted for a few minutes before taking Xiaoyue back to their residence.
He heeded Yu Yuanzhen's advice and did not cultivate. He was lying under a ginkgo tree in the backyard.
With his head resting on Xiaoyue's soft, fair thighs, and inhaling the fragrant scent emanating from the young girl's body, Yu Tianyun's heart finally found peace after a long time.
"Young Master, you were really amazing today! You actually defeated the Eldest Young Master!" Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with admiration.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's because my elder brother didn't use his full strength. He was holding back for fear of hurting me," Yu Tianyun said calmly with his eyes closed.
"Even so, you're still better, young master." Xiaoyue pouted and stubbornly retorted for once.
Yu Tianyun didn't speak, but a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yu Tianyun knew the girl's thoughts perfectly. Even if he lost, Xiaoyue would come up with all sorts of excuses and reasons to explain for him. Xiaoyue would protect her lover in every way, and she would not even allow him to slander her.
The two did not speak again.
For a moment, the area under the ginkgo tree was silent, with only the rustling of the leaves in the cool breeze.
The two of them thus enjoyed their rare free time.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze passing over two majestic mountain peaks and settling on the valley they formed, where a breathtakingly beautiful face emerged from the depths.
"Xiaoyue, I will protect you and never let anyone bully you." Yu Tianyun's firm yet tender voice came from her jade-like legs.
Tears welled up in Xiaoyue's eyes, and she replied emotionally, "Young Master..."
"Young Master, you don't need to make such a promise to me. Xiaoyue only wants to serve you wholeheartedly for the rest of her life. This is Xiaoyue's greatest wish." Her voice was full of sincerity and affection.
Yu Tianyun slowly stood up, stretched out his two strong and powerful arms as if to embrace the whole world, and tightly hugged Xiaoyue's delicate body into his arms.
He took a deep breath, inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from Xiaoyue's hair, a scent so refreshing that he was completely captivated.
At that moment, he remained silent, for any words would be superfluous. He conveyed his truest feelings and answer to Xiaoyue through his actions. Time seemed to freeze; they embraced quietly, savoring each other's warmth and love.
After a long while, the two finally separated slowly. Yu Tianyun remained lying on those warm, smooth jade legs, enjoying the unique and tender touch.
At the same time, he also keenly noticed that the owner of the jade legs was beating faster and faster and more erratically, which clearly indicated that she was extremely excited at the moment.
In this beautiful moment, their hearts seemed to merge into one, immersed together in an ocean of love. Everything around them became unimportant; only their presence was real and precious.
In the quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Yu Tianyun closed his eyes and began to contemplate life:
"I have been in Douluo Continent for eight years now. In this life, I have a rare, complete, happy and fulfilling family. Compared with my lonely and helpless life in my previous life, it is like heaven and earth."
Her family background was that of a top-tier wealthy family in this world. If she had been born into an ordinary commoner and her martial soul was the common Blue Silver Grass, she would have had no one to turn to for help.
But the thought of his family being wiped out by the Spirit Hall in the future tightened Yu Tianyun's nerves again: "There are still about fourteen years until the family is destroyed. During this time, we must grow stronger as soon as possible and increase the family's power. Only with sufficient strength will we have the confidence to deal with any trouble."
Thinking of this, a resolute look appeared on Yu Tianyun's face:
"But for now, let's focus on gradual training and building a solid foundation."
The next day, Yu Tianyun arrived at Yu Yuanzhen's side early in the morning.
"Grandpa, I'd like to ask you how to control the energy of the Thunder Dragon Claw and concentrate it in my fingers," Yu Tianyun said hopefully.
"The energy of the Thunder Dragon Claw is concentrated in the fingers?" Yu Yuanzhen asked, his face full of doubt. He repeated softly before analyzing:
"This is no easy task!"
"First, one must possess strong mental power; second, one must be familiar with the meridians in one's hands; and third, the strength of one's fingers must be high enough. These are the most basic requirements."
"The most difficult part is mental strength. Only mental-type Soul Masters have much stronger mental strength than other Soul Masters of the same level. The mental strength of ordinary Soul Masters only increases slowly with age and the growth of their Soul Power cultivation!" Yu Yuanzhen sighed.
Yu Tianyun also understood that there was no way to cultivate spiritual power at this time. The only way to greatly improve spiritual power was through the head soul bone. The head soul bone was the second rarest of the six soul bones after the torso soul bone. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan did not have a head soul bone, and even if they did, they would not give it to him now.
"One more thing, lightning is the most explosive and difficult to control of all elements. If you try to practice that so-called finger technique, you might accidentally ruin your fingers," Yu Yuanzhen said with a serious expression.
"Therefore, I do not recommend practicing that finger technique."
"Please rest assured, Grandpa. After careful observation and exploration, I discovered that my first spirit ring has a unique effect. It can actually make the powerful and violent lightning energy more docile and easier to control, and it also continuously enhances my lightning resistance," Yu Tianyun assured confidently.
"Really? After you obtained your first spirit ring, I checked the sect's ancient records. There were only a few lines about the Thunderous Hell Vine. One of the sentences was that this spirit beast contains a trace of the Thunder God's bloodline. I originally thought it was an exaggerated and unfounded statement made by that ancestor."
"Now that you mention it, does it really contain the bloodline of the Thunder God?" Yu Yuanzhen asked in surprise.
"I've also read this record, and now, considering the effect of my first spirit ring, it's very likely true!"
"If that's the case, I do have some ideas," Yu Yuanzhen said after a moment's thought.
"You should activate your first spirit ring every day until your spirit power is exhausted. After meditating to restore your spirit power, you can continue to activate your first spirit ring. Over time, this should help you gain a deeper understanding of your first spirit ring, thereby rapidly enhancing your control over lightning power through its special effects."
"Yes, Grandpa." Yu Tianyun fully agreed with Yu Yuanzhen's analysis.
"We also need to focus on training our fingers. Only with stronger fingers can we withstand the concentrated power of lightning."
"Understood, that's exactly what I was planning to do too," Yu Tianyun replied obediently.
"How to train my fingers? When I first tried to condense the power of thunder, my fingers were red and swollen from the violent energy, but they recovered the next day. I could feel that my fingers were slightly stronger. If I could combine this with the training method of One-Finger Zen from my previous life, the improvement should be even more obvious!" Yu Tianyun pondered silently in his heart.
"Then go down! Remember, you must not be impatient for quick success in cultivation!" Yu Yuanzhen warned worriedly.
"Don't worry, Grandpa! I know what's important. I'll take my leave now."
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen nod, he couldn't wait to go back to training.
