90: Chapter 90 Thunder Canyon

A flash of surprise crossed Tang San's eyes. He truly had not expected that Yu Xiaogang was actually a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Establishing contact with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School today was already a major gain, and now he had learned of Yu Xiaogang's identity as well.

If he could form an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan through him, coupled with the Tang Sect that he would create in the future...

and his good brother Dai Mubai, who hailed from the Star Luo royal Family—if he could help him seize the throne...

then with these four powerful forces joining hands, and paired with the Tang Sect's peerless Hidden Weapons, why worry about the Spirit Hall not being destroyed?

Thinking of this, Tang San's heart surged with excitement, as if he had already witnessed the scene of the Spirit Hall's collapse.

But he quickly collected his thoughts; the most important thing right now was still to increase his own strength.

"Teacher," Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Since Immortal Plants might grow in the Thunder Canyon, do you have a way to take me inside?"

Everyone from Shrek also looked at Yu Xiaogang with anticipation.

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment before finally making up his mind, "Little San, tomorrow Flender and I will take you to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Ever since the incident with Brother Scar, he dared not act alone; only with Flender, a Spirit Douluo, accompanying him could he feel at ease.

Everyone was greatly encouraged upon hearing this.

"Third Brother, you must find an Immortal Plant!" Ma Hongjun had already started fantasizing about a happy life after regaining his vigor.

"Little San, good luck!" Dai Mubai patted Tang San's shoulder, his eyes flickering with expectations for the future.

If he could use an Immortal Plant to increase his strength, he would have hope of defeating his elder brother, Dai Weisi.

"Rest assured, everyone." Tang San looked around at them, "If I really can find an Immortal Plant, I will definitely bring it back to share with everyone."

"Alright, that's all for today, everyone disperse." Flender spoke up at the right moment, ending today's conversation.

After everyone dispersed, Tang San returned to his dormitory and carefully drew diagrams of several Immortal Plants.

When he handed the drawings to Ning Rongrong, he specifically emphasized their importance.

Ning Rongrong understood their value and decided to find another opportunity to personally send them back to the school.

...

The next morning.

Flender spread his wings, took Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, and soared into the sky, flying in the direction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

As the sun set, the three of them finally arrived at the outskirts of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Just as they landed, two guards dressed in Disciple attire flashed out and blocked them.

"Halt! This is the territory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; outsiders are forbidden from entering." One guard said.

Yu Xiaogang walked forward and took out a token symbolizing a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

The guard was stunned upon seeing the token. He carefully scrutinized the middle-aged man with a weathered face before him, but could not recall such a figure within the Sect at all.

"My name is Yu Xiaogang." Yu Xiaogang's tone was calm.

Having not returned for decades, his face had aged; it was normal for these young Disciples not to recognize him.

"Yu Xiaogang? Could you be that person from back then..." The guard blurted out, but stopped abruptly halfway through, clearly realizing he had spoken out of turn.

Although the person before him was a good-for-nothing, he was, after all, the Sect Master's son.

The hand holding the token tightened involuntarily.

Before his Spirit Awakening, he was the highly anticipated Young Sect Master, the hope of the entire Sect.

But when he awakened a mutated trash Spirit, everything changed!

The once respectful gazes turned into pity and disdain, and everyone was whispering about him.

Now, even these Outer Sect Disciples dared to call him by his name directly.

"It is I." Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth inwardly, "I want to see the Sect Master."

"Please wait a moment, I will go report this immediately." One guard immediately ran into the territory.

Not long after, a voice called out, "Xiaogang! Is it really you? You've finally returned!"

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen walked over quickly. He looked at Yu Xiaogang's weather-beaten face, emotions surging in his eyes.

There was heartache, guilt, and even more, the concern hidden for decades.

"Father." Yu Xiaogang lowered his head slightly, not daring to look directly into Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's eyes.

Flender and Tang San stepped forward simultaneously to bow, "Greetings, Clan Master Yu."

"This is my good friend Flender." Yu Xiaogang introduced, then looked at Tang San, "This is my Disciple, Tang San."

Xiaogang's Disciple?

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's gaze lingered on Tang San for a moment. He hadn't expected that Tang San could remain neither humble nor arrogant in his presence; he was indeed a good seedling.

"No need for formalities." Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen nodded in acknowledgment, "Let's go, let's go inside first before talking."

...

After entering the Sect.

Tang San observed his surroundings calmly. He discovered that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was actually far more magnificent than the Tang Sect of his past life.

The three of them walked across the magnificent Sect plaza and arrived at the reception hall.

After they were seated, Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen asked with concern, "Xiaogang, have you been doing well all these years?"

"Father, I have been doing well." Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath, "I returned this time because I want to ask you for a favor."

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's heart trembled violently. Yu Xiaogang had been headstrong since childhood; to hear him use the word 'ask'... "Speak."

"I want to take them into the Thunder Canyon." Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and Flender.

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed slightly, "Xiaogang, do you know that is the Family's Forbidden Ground, and outsiders are not allowed to enter?"

"Father." Yu Xiaogang stood up and looked directly into Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, "Just consider this me begging you this one time."

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen sighed; in the end, his heart softened.

"You insist on entering the Thunder Canyon, what exactly is it for?" Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly, "Aside from being suitable for the Family to Cultivate, there is nothing special about it."

"Father, do you know of that Ji Xuan from the Spirit Hall?"

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly, "Naturally, I know of him."

"I know why he can absorb spirit rings beyond his level, and why his Soul Power progresses so rapidly." Yu Xiaogang's tone was firm, "He must have consumed some kind of rare Heaven And Earth Treasure. And these types of treasures often grow in extreme environments like the Thunder Canyon."

"What you say does make some sense. However, the clan has explored the canyon many times over the generations and has never discovered such treasures."

"Just because they didn't find them doesn't mean they don't exist. Father, let me go and try. If I can really find one, perhaps... I can also use it to achieve a Breakthrough."

Looking at the unwillingness and longing in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a long time.

How could he not know that Yu Xiaogang's lifelong wish was to Breakthrough his shackles and prove himself? This was perhaps his final struggle.

A trace of heartache flashed deep in Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, and he sighed deeply, "Fine... I will agree to your request. But it is late today, you should enter tomorrow."

"Thank you, Father, for granting this." A look of joy flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Tang San and Flender immediately stood up and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Clan Master Yu."

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen nodded slightly, then summoned a Disciple to arrange two guest rooms for Tang San and Flender.

He then looked at Yu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, I have always had people keep your room maintained; you will stay there tonight."

Upon hearing this, a ripple rose in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, "Yes, Father."

The night deepened, and the three of them returned to their respective rooms.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the room from his memories, his heart feeling incomparably complex.
