Douluo Continent, the sea.
An island was split in two by a crack, the huge chasm unfathomably deep, filled with monstrous demonic energy.
"Arrogant!!!"
A roar came from the Demon Abyss, and a silver-scaled emperor serpent, as tall as a building and hundreds of feet long, shot up a beam of white light, soaring straight into the sky!
In front of the beam of light, a thin figure stood in mid-air, coldly staring at the speaking soul beast.
He stretched out his hand, and strands of soul power stirred the energy of heaven and earth. Instantly, dark clouds filled the sky, black lightning crisscrossed, and finally transformed into a 'destructive thunder dragon' that attacked the silver-scaled emperor serpent.
Rumble—!
The thunder dragon collided with the white beam of light, and the earth-shattering energy swept across dozens of miles, stirring up the seawater.
"Pfft—!"
The Silver-Scaled Emperor Serpent coughed up blood, flying backward and crashing into the mountain, shattering rocks.
The gaunt figure slowly landed in mid-air, indifferently looking at the soul beast before him:
"Silver-Scaled Emperor Serpent, if you were to offer yourself willingly, you might still have a chance to fly with me to the God Realm in the future. Why risk your life?"
The Silver-Scaled Emperor Serpent coughed up blood and lay powerlessly on the ground.
It raised its chin, staring unwillingly at the person before it: "If I hadn't just survived the two hundred thousand-year tribulation, how could I have let you succeed?"
However, the gaunt figure showed no sympathy for these words, but instead smiled coldly: "Since you won't offer yourself, then die!"
Roar—!
Lightning transformed into a dragon, killing the Silver-Scaled Emperor Serpent in one strike!
As the massive body completely lost its life force, a crimson soul ring shimmered above the corpse.
The gaunt figure landed beside the corpse and absorbed the soul ring without hesitation.
At the same time, a mechanical voice appeared in his mind.

...
Yu Yuanshi opened his eyes, the red Soul Rings completely fused with him.
He clenched his fists, a vast power enveloping his entire body, and he soared into the sky.
He soared into the sky, plunging into the lightning to cleanse himself. The devastating lightning couldn't leave a single mark on him.
Yu Yuanshi clenched his fist: "Is this the power of a level 99 Peerless Douluo? Truly terrifying!"
At this moment, if he wanted, he could sink a hundred-mile-long island below with a single strike.
After cleansing himself, he landed in mid-air;
Yu Yuanshi gazed into the distance, muttering, "Ten years have passed, it's time to go back to the family!"
With that, he flashed, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
Yu Yuanshi was originally an ordinary student in China. One day, on his way home, he was sent to the Douluo Continent by the "Driver Emperor," who was rushing to meet his sales targets.
Transmigrated, he became Yu Yuanshi, the younger brother of Yu Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At the age of six, he awakened the mutated martial soul, the Demonic Thunder Sacred Dragon, possessing innate full soul power of level ten, and also awakened the [Self-Created Godhood System].
At the age of twelve, he became a Soul Master, hailed as the rising star of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
At the age of fourteen, due to his self-created godhood, he had to leave his family to gain experience.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Yu Yuanshi traveled throughout the entire Douluo Star.
He trained in the Sunset Forest, cultivated in the Star Dou Great Forest, fought in the Slaughter City, roamed the vast sea, tempered his body in the far north, crossed the ocean, and ascended to the Sun Moon Continent…
In ten years, he achieved the level 99 Limit Douluo!
"Judging by the time, Yu Xiaogang should already be a cripple, and in a few more years, Tang San should be born…"
Thinking this, Yu Yuanshi quickened his pace.
Douluo Star is vast, with many unknown places. Even if he becomes a level 99 Limit Douluo, it will still take him a long time to return to Douluo Continent.
—One month later.
Douluo Continent, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Clan leader! Yu Xiaogang has become a disgrace to the entire clan. Do you want to hear what the outside world is saying about him?"
"Yes, because of him, our entire clan can't hold our heads high!"
"Clan leader, we request that Yu Xiaogang be expelled from the clan!"
"We beg the clan leader to expel Yu Xiaogang from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!"
"..."
The meeting hall was filled with uproar.
At the head of the table, Yu Yuanzhen, who had only recently assumed the position, rubbed his forehead.
His son, Yu Xiaogang, suffered a mutated martial soul. Originally a benign mutation, it was marred by a backlash due to his aptitude, rendering him a cripple!
He would never break through level 29!
This brought considerable negative consequences to the family.
The patriarch's son, now a cripple, faced a deluge of ridicule from the outside world . Torn
between his son and his family,
Yu Yuanzhen was torn.
In the center of the hall stood a young man, tall and slender with fair skin and a sly, handsome face.
This young man was none other than Yu Xiaogang!
At this moment, he clenched his fists.
Initially, his martial soul had undergone a benign mutation, destined to evolve into a Golden Sacred Dragon. However, due to his inherent limitations, it mutated into a malignant form, Luo Sanpao—
the lowest-level martial soul!
And he, therefore, was utterly crippled!
Resentment and anger surged within him, his eyes turning bloodshot as he coldly swept his gaze across the faces of his family members.
He cursed inwardly:
"I am the son of the clan leader! Who dares to expel me? Go ahead and argue! If you can expel me today, I'll eat a ton of rice!"
"When I, Yu Xiaogang, awakened my martial soul, you were all eager to give me your hearts, and now you're all kicking me when I'm down!"
Even at his teenage years, Yu Xiaogang still harbored the arrogance of being the clan leader's son.
He refused to accept it!
Young and impetuous, his temperament was far from stable.
Seeing his indifference, the clan members continued to mock him.
"Yu Xiaogang! You piece of trash! A pathetic wretch who can never break through level 30 in his life, stop putting on airs! Say something!"
"Yu Xiaogang! Because of you, Xiaomei, who just agreed to marry me, ran away!"
"Yu Xiaogang! If you have any humanity, get out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan yourself!"
"..."
At this moment, not a single clansman stood up to speak for him.
There was only cursing and mockery...
"Enough!"
Yu Yuanzhen slammed his fist on the table, and the entire place fell silent.
His gaze swept over the family elders below, and he asked,
"What do you elders think?"
They all remained silent, offering no immediate answer.
At the end of the elders' seats, Yu Luomian sighed and shook his head, saying, "Brother, the family's reputation is paramount. Besides, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has always followed the law of the jungle..."
He paused, then sighed again, "Let Xiaogang leave the family!"
The other elders' expressions changed upon hearing this.
Only he dared to speak to Yu Yuanzhen like this.
"Clan leader, Xiaogang is still your child. Why not find him a suitable place to live out his life peacefully..."
an elder suggested.
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.
The other elders echoed, "Yes, the best way right now is to let Xiaogang disappear from the public eye. Before long, no one will remember him."
More and more elders began to lean towards this suggestion.
In the center of the hall, Yu Xiaogang let out a long breath. As long as he wasn't expelled from the family, he would one day make these people regret it.
He inwardly raged, "So what if I don't have a martial spirit? As long as my father is still the clan leader, you can't drive me away!"
"I can study theoretical knowledge and become the top theorist, just as revered by thousands!"
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed, imagining his future glory.
High above,
Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath: "Since that's the case, let's find him a place to live a peaceful life!"
"The clan leader is wise!"
everyone shouted in unison.
However, just as their voices faded, a voice rang out from the sky.
"I disagree!"
The voice was loud and clear, shaking everyone to their core.
All the Soul Saints and above stood up, looking towards the outside of the hall, their eyes filled with fear and panic.
"Who?" Yu Xiaogang roared furiously, "My father is the clan leader, who dares disobey his decision?!"
"Heh..." A powerful aura descended, and Yu Xiaogang immediately knelt on the ground.
"Ah—!"
Yu Xiaogang groaned in pain.
In the void, a figure slowly walked into the hall.
"My dear nephew, who gave you permission to speak to me like that?"
...
PS: A few important points to avoid anyone blindly criticizing the author.
1. Is Yu Xiaogang's inner monologue mindless? This is because, considering he is the son of the clan leader and is young, he is still arrogant. His personality only matures after leaving the clan; people change over time!
2. From the clan's perspective, should Yu Xiaogang receive help and not be expelled from the clan? Here, I haven't added any personal bias; in the original story, he was also expelled from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan!
3. You can criticize the writing, but please refrain from personal attacks!
