Chapter 111: Half a Year of Diligent Training, Yu Tianlin's Growth
During this period, many people came to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to congratulate Yu Luomian on becoming a Title Douluo, so the clan was unusually lively.
Yu Tianlin ignored it all. Even if he was not the main character this time, he was still the clan leader's grandson. If he showed his face, he would inevitably be dragged into endless polite greetings with strangers, and that sounded more exhausting than 5 times gravity. So he chose the simplest option: train with Yu Jian.
However, because Yu Luomian had become a Title Douluo, some immediate family members who were away also rushed back, such as Yu Tianxin and Liu Erlong.
Do not be surprised. Even though Liu Erlong was an illegitimate daughter, her talent and strength were undeniable, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still acknowledged her identity. Otherwise, without a clan's backing, how could she have opened a high level Spirit Master Academy in Heaven Dou City on her own?
Yu Tianlin had already decided to give the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Liu Erlong. So when he learned she had returned, he handed the herb to his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, and asked him to pass it on. That way, Yu Tianlin did not have to appear in person, or worse, explain the herb's effects in detail. He preferred sparring bruises over social bruises.
And there was also Yu Tianxin. Although Yu Tianxin's talent was slightly inferior to his older brother Yu Tianheng, it was still quite good. So Yu Tianlin selected a suitable herb for him as well and had his grandfather send it over.
The excitement did not last forever. After a while, the clan returned to calm.
With a new Title Douluo, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's prestige soared. Taking advantage of this, Spirit Hall fanned the flames, trying to incite the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to challenge the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's ranking, hoping to worsen the relationship between the two clans.
However, the leaders of both sides understood clearly that the 3 upper clans had always been closely connected. They would not turn against each other over a provocation from Spirit Hall. As for rankings, to be honest, even after Yu Luomian broke through, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still could not match the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan in overall strength.
Grandpa Yu Yuanzhen and Chen Xin were both level 96. They had sparred before and were evenly matched. Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, was a level 95 Title Douluo. Yu Luomian had only just entered the realm and was merely level 91, 4 levels below Gu Rong. In the Title Douluo realm, each level gap was enormous, let alone 4. Yu Luomian was not Gu Rong's opponent.
While the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was at a disadvantage at the Title Douluo level, the situation flipped at the 8th ring Spirit Douluo level.
Due to limitations of their martial souls, none of the direct descendants of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan could reach Spirit Douluo. As a result, all of their Spirit Douluos were non family Spirit Masters. Their strength was certainly not weak, but it still could not compare to the elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Of course, the support abilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were terrifying. If a real fight broke out, the direct descendants could continuously buff those non family Spirit Douluos. In the end, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's elders would not have an easy time either.
On top of that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was extremely wealthy. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was rich too, but still not as rich. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had the special ability to locate treasures, and its wealth gathering ability was absurd.
Whether in economy or overall military strength, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was stronger, which was why it had always remained ahead of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Of course, the situation would change once Yu Yuanzhen broke through to level 97, or once Yu Tianlin returned from the Dragon Realm with a large number of Spirit Bones.
Yu Tianlin did not know exactly when his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, consumed the Primordial Immortal Herb. His grandfather did not need to report such things to him.
However, based on Yu Tianlin's speculation, Yu Yuanzhen likely did not take it immediately. He probably waited until all the elders had finished consuming their own herbs, then helped Yu Luomian obtain his 9th Spirit Ring, held the celebration for Yu Luomian's breakthrough, and only after the visitors had left did he quietly take the Primordial Immortal Herb.
As for the result, Yu Yuanzhen did not say it outright, but Yu Tianlin could guess.
If Yu Yuanzhen had failed to break through to level 97, he would have said so directly. The fact that he never stated it clearly was, in itself, a silent admission.
After helping Yu Yuanzhen reach level 97 and helping Yu Luomian become a Title Douluo, Yu Tianlin finally felt he could breathe a little easier. The elders' overall strength had risen across the board.
With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's current lineup, even if they faced the Spirit Hunting Operation from the original story, they should be able to repel Spirit Hall's attack.
But it was still not enough.
To make sure no accidents happened, Yu Tianlin had already decided that he had to bring out enough true dragon Spirit Bones from the Dragon Realm.
If the clan's 7 Spirit Douluos and 2 Title Douluos were each equipped with a full set of Spirit Bones, then the clan's foundation would be as steady as Mount Tai. By then, in a Spirit Hunting Operation, it would be unclear who was hunting whom.
With that goal in mind, Yu Tianlin trained even harder. He grew rapidly through constant battles with Yu Jian, and at night he never stopped drawing lightning to temper his Spirit Ring.
As the age of his 1st Spirit Ring increased, Yu Tianlin's physical attributes also improved.
Just like that, half a year passed, and Yu Tianlin turned 12 years old.
Over these 6 months, Yu Tianlin continuously drew lightning to strengthen his 1st Spirit Ring, raising it from 4,000 years to 7,000 years.
Such a jump in just half a year sounded exaggerated, but it was mainly because Yu Tianlin's cultivation had improved.
The higher the cultivation, the more efficient lightning attraction became. He drew lightning like a madman, managing to do it 3 or 4 times per second.
Even so, Yu Tianlin still felt it was too slow. If half a year only raised it by this much, how long would it take to push his 1st Spirit Ring to the 100,000 year level? He could not afford to wait that long.
So Yu Tianlin had already planned it out. Once he could transform into a twin winged dragon, he would fly directly into the clouds, drag lightning down from above, and upgrade his 1st Spirit Ring as fast as possible.
In these 6 months, Yu Tianlin also did not slack off in cultivation while training. His Spirit Power rose by 2 levels. For a 4 ring Spirit Master, this speed was already quite good.
In the original story, when the Shrek Seven Devils parted ways, most of them were at level 42, with only Dai Mubai noticeably higher. Five years later, when they reunited, everyone except Ma Hongjun, who did not cultivate seriously, had reached level 61. Oscar broke through on the same day, and Tang San had also broken through recently. If Xiao Wu had not sacrificed herself, she would have reached level 61 after absorbing a Spirit Ring.
Looking closely, their cultivation speed after consuming immortal herbs was roughly like this.
They parted at level 42. In the 1st year, they advanced 4 levels, reaching level 46. In the 2nd year, they advanced another 4 levels, broke through level 50, and after adding a Spirit Ring reached level 51. In the 3rd year, they advanced 3 levels to level 54. In the 4th year, they advanced 3 levels to level 57. In the 5th year, they advanced 3 levels, broke through level 60, and after adding a Spirit Ring reached level 61.
That meant 4 levels per year at the 4th ring, and 3 levels per year at the 5th ring.
So for Yu Tianlin to advance 2 levels in half a year was perfectly normal. It was just a pity that in the Dragon Realm, his Spirit Power would be suppressed and unusable. Otherwise, being at a higher level would be far more convenient.
