[But things were just not that easy.]
[After the Transmigration, Yu Xiaogang was not clear about what would happen in the future Douluo Continent.]
[One of the few things he knew happened to be that his talent was very poor.]
[From birth until now, five years of a muddled life had already made Yu Yuanzhen the laughingstock of everyone.]
[Once the Martial Soul Awakening happens, would he continue to be a stain on Yu Yuanzhen's life for many years in the future?]
[Whenever Yu Xiaogang thought about how much Yu Yuanzhen cared for him all these years, he was unwilling to let such a thing happen.]
[Not even if he died!]
[Therefore, not long after regaining his senses, Yu Xiaogang proposed the idea of wanting to Cultivate to Yu Yuanzhen.]
Black World, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Feng Zhi, could it be that starting to Cultivate before Martial Soul Awakening is actually useful?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong said with a mix of surprise and doubt.
If it were anyone else, he would certainly say that Cultivating before Martial Soul Awakening was useless.
This was a rule that had been passed down through the Legacy of the Douluo Continent for unknown years.
But Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang was different.
He was the counterpart of the Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang; as for Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang's situation, how could people like them not be aware of it?
The video of Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang played on the heavenly curtain showed that from his birth until now, his life was actually no different from Yu Xiaogang's, and was even worse.
And this comparison was formed through the development of the same person making different choices.
Then they couldn't help but wonder if every choice Dragon God Douluo Yu Xiaogang made that was different from an ordinary person's would be the condition that allowed him to achieve a Heaven-Defying change of fate.
"This..."
Ning Fengzhi didn't dare to make a judgment for a moment.
After all, this was an idea proposed by a future Titled Douluo during his childhood.
"Let's watch a bit more first; we will know the answer later,"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin said.
Besides the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and various forces across the Douluo Continent all focused their attention on the heavenly curtain at this moment.
Everyone wanted to know if Cultivating before Martial Soul Awakening was actually useful, as it concerned how all of them would Cultivate in the future.
[The video continues...]
[Yu Xiaogang's words and his disappointed expression made Yu Yuanzhen step forward, squat down, and place his hand on Yu Xiaogang's head.]
["Silly son, don't worry, you will never be a stain in my life."]
[Yu Yuanzhen had a smile on his face when he spoke, but his words were powerful and resonant.]
[If he truly regarded Yu Xiaogang as a stain, he would have sent him away long ago, shortly after Yu Xiaogang was born.]
[Yu Yuanzhen's words made Yu Xiaogang's heart feel warm. Feeling the strength of the palm on his head, Yu Xiaogang shook his head and brushed the hand away.]
["You might not care, but I do. So, even if it might be useless, I want to try."]
[Yu Xiaogang's voice was very firm.]
[Looking at his son's eyes, Yu Yuanzhen understood that he was serious.]
[Regarding Yu Xiaogang's sentiment, Yu Yuanzhen felt gratified; he hadn't doted on this son in vain.]
["Cultivating is very painful. Are you sure you can endure it?"]
["Of course!"]
[And so, the next day.]
["Run! With speed this slow, you still want to become stronger?"]
[On the Training Ground belonging exclusively to Yu Yuanzhen in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, the five-year-old Yu Xiaogang began his running training under the watchful eye of a solemn Yu Yuanzhen.]
[According to Yu Yuanzhen, start with running first; if he could persist, then he could try other exercises.]
[Lap after lap, Yu Xiaogang's throat felt dry and tight from continuous running. The air he inhaled felt like ice shards scraping his throat, while the exhaled breath carried a burning sensation.]
[Sweat kept flowing down from his forehead, and his clothes stuck to his body. When the wind blew, it felt chilly, yet his body continued to heat up. This alternation of cold and heat was hard to endure.]
[His steps became weaker, his body heavier, and his legs felt like they were filled with lead. Every time he lifted them, it strained his aching muscles.]
[At this moment, how much Yu Xiaogang wanted to stop and rest, or crawl back into his warm bed for a good sleep.]
[But thinking of his future, and how he would become an object of ridicule for others...]
[Thinking that others would use him to mock Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth and persevered through sheer willpower.]
["Alright!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen, who had been watching Yu Xiaogang's movements, saw that he had reached his limit and called a halt to this morning's running training.]
[Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's voice, Yu Xiaogang collapsed to the ground almost immediately, without even the strength to move a finger.]
["Not bad!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen praised him, but in reality, he was very surprised in his heart.]
[He had originally thought Yu Xiaogang's words yesterday were just talk, and today's training would surely scare him off.]
[But as it turned out, Yu Xiaogang had actually persevered.]
[For five-year-olds in ordinary families, or even older children, if they were trained like this, they would have gone crying to their parents long ago.]
[But from beginning to end, Yu Xiaogang didn't say a single word about giving up. Even though his calves were trembling from running, he didn't stop.]
[At this moment, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but think of the offspring of the powerhouses he knew, such as the two sons of the Clear Sky Sect's Sect Master.]
[Those two had talent that was visible to the naked eye, but with his experienced eyes, how could Yu Yuanzhen not see that the two brothers' Heart-Nature was somewhat lacking due to the flattery of others?]
[If not corrected, problems would arise for the two of them sooner or later.]
[Thinking of this, and looking at his son who was exhausted in a heap, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly felt a sense of pride.]
[Clear Sky Twins? Hmph, my son is not inferior to them at all!]
Black World, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Yu Yuanzhen stared blankly at himself in the heavenly curtain.
The pride on the other's face was completely undisguised. He saw it clearly and understood exactly what the other was proud of.
Putting himself in those shoes, if it were him, he would be just as proud.
Both were Yu Yuanzhen, with the same son Yu Xiaogang, yet the other's son was only five years old and could already consider him as his father.
To avoid becoming a stain in his father's life, the other had proactively started to Cultivate at the age of five.
And throughout the Cultivation process, he didn't cry or make a fuss, nor did he give up. No matter how painful it was, he gritted his teeth and persevered until the end.
This persistence and Heart-Nature proved that his previous words were serious; he truly wanted to help the Yu Yuanzhen of that world wash away the stain.
Looking at the other's son and then thinking back to his own son, a sour taste spread in his mouth.
Yu Yuanzhen had never imagined that one day the object of his jealousy would actually be another version of himself.
Both are sons, why is his son so good?
