Black World, Shrek Academy.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang pretending to faint on the heavenly curtain, everyone's gaze turned toward the Yu Xiaogang beside them.
Especially Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others; their eyes held a certain indescribable complexity as they looked at Yu Xiaogang.
"He doesn't actually think that by pretending to faint, the people there wouldn't notice, does he?"
Finally, the Young Miss Ning Rongrong voiced the thought everyone had after seeing this scene.
If a six-year-old child from an ordinary Family pretended to faint, they might have been able to get away with it.
But the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's Awakening Ceremony had invited powerhouses from every faction on the Douluo Continent.
Several Titled Douluo had come, and Spirit Douluo and Spirit Saints were too numerous to count.
A six-year-old child pretending to faint in front of these people?
He would likely be discovered instantly, leading to even more unrestrained mockery of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang's father, Yu Yuanzhen, was the one who truly lost all face at this moment.
In the Martial Soul Awakenings of the Douluo Continent, malignant mutations occurred very frequently, and cases where the Innate Spirit Power test showed absolutely no spirit power happened ninety-nine percent of the time.
The reason the Spirits of many powerhouses failed to be passed down was that their descendants failed to inherit their talent.
But failing to inherit talent wasn't something shameful. For instance, even if others mocked Yu Xiaogang for being a "dog son of a tiger father," the laughter would pass after a few times.
Ultimately, Yu Yuanzhen was still a Titled Douluo. Even if his son was disappointing, he himself was a top-tier powerhouse standing at the peak of the Douluo Continent.
Yet Yu Xiaogang performed a fake faint in front of everyone, burying his head in the sand as if that could escape everything.
He showed none of the upbringing expected of a great Family member, let alone the poise of a Titled Douluo's son.
It could be said that originally, since Yu Xiaogang's talent was poor, people mostly mocked Yu Xiaogang himself, with rival factions mocking Yu Yuanzhen by association.
But at this moment, what people would mock was the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Even a pampered Young Miss like Ning Rongrong knew that her actions represented her Sect. She could be arrogant and look down on anyone.
But she could never do something that would disgrace the Sect's reputation.
"Huff... hiss... huff..."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words and seeing the looks from Flender and the others, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists and panted continuously.
Perhaps he didn't understand this logic in the past, but he certainly understood it now.
But so what if he understood? Could the face he had already lost be picked back up?
"Cursed heavenly curtain, why must it replay everything from back then? This is clearly something people had long forgotten!"
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
If he could, he really wanted to rush into the sky and shatter the heavenly curtain, but he couldn't. He could only let the heavenly curtain present his ugliest past to everyone.
[The video continues...]
[Yu Xiaogang's fake faint did not deceive the people present. Perhaps the young children who had just awakened their Spirits would be startled by him, but the others would not.]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect member responsible for the Martial Soul Awakening glanced at the fallen Yu Xiaogang, a deep sense of disgust rising in his heart.]
[The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect held this Awakening Ceremony to proclaim their prestige to the various factions of the Douluo Continent.]
[To tell those coveting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's position among the Upper Three Sects that their Sect was not only filled with powerhouses but also had a great number of future geniuses.]
[Disappointment, sadness, even wailing—everyone could understand these. Martial Soul Awakenings were just that cruel.]
[But choosing to pretend to faint in front of everyone?]
[This was evasion; this was an unwillingness to face reality.]
[Such a cowardly and pathetic person was actually their own Young Sect Master?]
[It was simply a total disgrace to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's reputation!]
[The person in charge, unsure of how to deal with Yu Xiaogang, turned his gaze toward Yu Yuanzhen on the other side.]
[At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen was staring fixedly at Yu Xiaogang's figure pretending to faint on the ground. He didn't understand why his son would choose to do this.]
[Did he not know that every move he made represented the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?]
["Hahaha, Brother Yu, what a pity. Your esteemed son failed to awaken a suitable Spirit. However, this way, your son can enjoy some peace and leisure."]
["It's just this style of conduct... it still needs a lot of tempering."]
[A Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall mocked sarcastically. Responding to him were Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, which were almost entirely filled with bloodshot veins.]
["Alright, alright, Brother Yu. Your Young Master is likely just overcome with grief from the Martial Soul Awakening, which is why he fainted. You should comfort him well."]
[Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen might explode at any moment, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School immediately stepped forward to smooth things over.]
[After staring intently at the Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo for a long time, Yu Yuanzhen finally gave a cold snort, glanced at the still-faking Yu Xiaogang, and directly brushed his sleeves and left.]
[A perfectly good Awakening Ceremony ultimately ended on a sour note.]
[...]
[After the Awakening Ceremony, the faking Yu Xiaogang was carried back to his room. Afterward, he shut his door tightly and never went out again.]
[During this time, Yu Yuanzhen, having calmed down slightly, saw Yu Xiaogang huddled in his room without eating or drinking. He arranged for someone to bring him food and then went to argue with the Sect's Elders.]
["You should have seen the situation at the start of Xiaogang's Martial Soul Awakening. That was definitely the appearance of a top-tier Spirit. The subsequent Dragon Roar also proved this."]
["Furthermore, the Spirit existing independently from the Spirit Master's body is an unprecedented situation."]
["Therefore, I believe Xiaogang's Spirit is good; it's just been held back by his Innate Spirit Power. If we Cultivate him, perhaps there will be unexpected surprises."]
[Yu Yuanzhen looked at the crowd of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Elders in the room. His meaning was clear: even if Yu Xiaogang's talent was poor, he still wanted to Cultivate him.]
[And this method of cultivation was naturally to use resources to forcibly stack his power up.]
["I disagree. He caused our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to lose so much face, and he still wants to use the Sect's resources? Impossible!"]
["I also disagree. With only half a rank of Innate Spirit Power, how many resources would it take to stack him up? With those resources, wouldn't it be better to Cultivate those few children with better talent from this year?"]
["Sect Master, although your son's Spirit is indeed a bit strange, it is not enough for us to support him."]
[The voices of all the Elders were in opposition. Some were because of Yu Xiaogang's actions today, while others felt it wasn't worth it.]
["...Then I will give him my own cultivation resources. You should have nothing to say then, right?"]
[Hearing the Elders' opposition, Yu Yuanzhen wanted to say more, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to. After some thought, he gritted his teeth and spoke.]
[And this time, although the Elders still disapproved, they could no longer find a reason to object.]
[Thus, Yu Yuanzhen came to Yu Xiaogang's door once again and informed him of his decision.]
[But what responded to him was Yu Xiaogang's hysterical screaming:]
["Aaaaaah! I'm not listening! I'm not listening! Get out! Get out!!"]
