Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 6: Departure to the Sunset Forest!

Faced with Yu Yuanzhen's roar, Yu Luomian and the others bowed their heads, not daring to utter a single word!

After a long pause, Yu Yuanzhen continued: "From today on, Yu Tiankong will be the young master of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Everyone must pass this message along. Anyone who disrespects the young master will be treated as a traitor to the clan!"

How serious were Yu Yuanzhen's words? Treating someone as a traitor was tantamount to a death sentence, and it could even affect their immediate family members!

Yet, Yu Luomian and others felt it was justified! After all, he is a divine child. Once he grows up, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, the Clear Sky Clan, and the Spirit Hall will all be trampled under the feet of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

"Yes, we will surely convey this and lead by example!"

"Tomorrow, I will personally take Tiankong to hunt soul beasts to obtain his soul rings. Arrange everything accordingly during this period!"

Yu Yuanzhen's tone softened somewhat; although these clan members were foolish, they were not beyond redemption.

If they were indeed beyond redemption, some of them would have to be sacrificed. For the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, sacrificing a few foolish clan members was worth it!

Hearing this, Yu Luomian and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. The first and second soul rings being hunted with the accompaniment of a level 96 Super Douluo—such treatment was not even afforded to Yu Dagang or Yu Tianheng.

If it's for Yu Tiankong, it makes sense!

The moon rose and set, and with the first rays of dawn, two figures quietly left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

It was Tiankong's first time leaving the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Previously, being young and without any soul power, Yu Yuanzhen would not have agreed to let him venture out.

This was for Tiankong's safety. Being one of the top three clans, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan naturally had many enemies.

"Tiankong, there are some low-tier soul beasts kept by the clan in the mountains behind our sect, but you probably want to go out and see more, right?"

"It's a rare opportunity, so I'll accompany you on this journey!"

Yu Yuanzhen said with a smile.

In the mountains behind the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, there were low-tier soul beasts with dragon lineage, mostly of the hundred or thousand-year level, kept for the direct descendants of the clan to obtain their soul rings.

If outer sect disciples who had contributed to the clan wished, they could also bring their descendants to obtain soul rings.

The outer sect of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan consisted of soul masters with dragon lineage or thunder and lightning attributes in their soul powers.

These attributes were equally fierce and dominant.

This was also one of the reasons why hardly anyone dared to provoke the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Tiankong glanced at Yu Yuanzhen, who was indeed very busy—busy cultivating and managing family and sect affairs.

If he didn't have to care for the lives of other clan members and could focus solely on cultivation, he might have reached level 97 by now.

"Thank you, Grandfather."

Tiankong expressed his gratitude. It was normal for him to call Yu Yuanzhen 'Grandfather,' as he was his foster grandson.

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had never treated him poorly.

"Ah, what are you thanking me for? This is what your grandfather should do!"

Yu Yuanzhen shuddered slightly, now slightly regretting taking Tiankong as his foster grandson. After all, he was a divine child. If that "God of Thunder" were to hold him accountable, Yu Yuanzhen feared he might not survive past three more chapters!

"Grandfather, are we going to that Soul Hunting Forest?"

Normally, soul masters and great soul masters would go to the Soul Hunting Forest to hunt soul beasts.

The Soul Hunting Forest was much safer compared to the primeval forest.

In the Soul Hunting Forest, there were mostly ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts. Once a soul beast grew to a thousand years, it would be cleared out by the personnel guarding the forest.

"Haha, we are not going to the Soul Hunting Forest."

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head; he had said he was taking Tiankong out to see the world, so how could they possibly go to the Soul Hunting Forest?

"The soul beasts there are neither fierce enough nor powerful enough. The soul rings they produce wouldn't be of much use!"

Pausing briefly, Yu Yuanzhen continued: "We could go to either the Star Dou Great Forest or the Sunset Forest."

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is located on the border between the Tian Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, close to the Star Dou Great Forest and a bit farther from the Sunset Forest outside Tian Dou City.

"The Sunset Forest?"

A familiar name; it was the forest that Tiankong often mentioned before his martial soul awakened.

It was his only fallback.

If his martial soul turned out to be too weak or if his innate soul power was not high enough, Tiankong would have to try his luck in the Sunset Forest.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well there, with its miraculous herbs, could change one's fate!

"Alright, let's go to the Sunset Forest!"

Yu Yuanzhen agreed immediately without hesitation.

Tiankong: "..."

That was a question, not a statement!

Visiting the Sunset Forest first to see if they could benefit from the autumn wind was a good option.

An old man and a young boy thus headed towards the Sunset Forest on foot, without a carriage or flight, in a very primitive manner.

On their way, they passed through several small towns and two major cities, taking over half a month to finally reach the Sunset Forest.

The Sunset Forest is the largest "Soul Hunting Forest" within the Tian Dou Empire and is also a primeval forest.

Although the soul beasts there are not as strong as those in the Star Dou Great Forest, it is still one of the human forbidden zones.

It's not unusual to encounter soul beasts aged seventy to eighty thousand years if one is unlucky.

With Yu Yuanzhen by his side, his mere presence is enough to send ordinary ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts fleeing in terror, wishing they had extra legs!

"Tiankong, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's research on weapon martial souls is not top-notch, but your... cough, your scythe martial soul, should primarily focus on sharpness and attack, with thunder and lightning attributes as a secondary trait, right?"

Yu Yuanzhen spoke while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Upon hearing this, Tiankong pondered.

In the game, scythes are known for high attack and elemental charging. When the elemental charge reaches two hundred percent, the overflow of elemental energy transforms into a percentage of attack power.

But this is reality, not a game, and the idea of elemental charging reducing cooldowns obviously doesn't apply.

High attack, defense penetration, sharpness, elemental properties, strength—these attributes are all very suitable for the Engulfing Lightning.

It's a scythe, or rather, a long blade, and these attributes are well-suited for it.

Tiankong looked at Yu Yuanzhen with some surprise. Isn't this called an in-depth study of weapon martial souls?

Thinking it over, Yu Yuanzhen's words made sense. The main research focus of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is still beast martial souls. Studying weapon martial souls is mainly to counter weapons like the Clear Sky Hammer and the Seven Kill Sword...

After all, no one wants to be inferior.

"Grandfather, the direction for absorbing soul rings for the scythe is similar to what you mentioned. The name of this blade is the Engulfing Lightning."

"The Engulfing Lightning? That's a somewhat strange name."

Yu Yuanzhen muttered.

What does it matter if the name of a divine artifact is a bit strange?

With that thought, Yu Yuanzhen no longer dwelled on it. No matter the name, it could not conceal its power!

The Clear Sky Hammer will ultimately be trampled underfoot by this Engulfing Lightning to Engulfing Lightning.
