At the center of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Awakening Hall was a massive Awakening Plaza, surrounded by people. In front of the Awakening Ceremony stage, Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen was seated, flanked by two Elders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. On his left were Yu Luoguan and Yu Luomian, and on his right were Yu Luotang and Yu Luohuang. Below them were many Spirit Saints and Spirit Emperors of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
This Awakening Ceremony was grand, almost gathering all the core figures of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. The reason was simple: among those participating in this year's awakening, including Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaomen, there were five direct disciples. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was different from the Clear Sky Sect. Although the Clear Sky Sect had lost Tang Chen, it still had the Clear Sky Double Stars to take over, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had been on a decline. Only Yu Yuanzhen, their sole Titled Douluo, struggled to maintain the dignity of being one of the Upper Three Sects.
Therefore, the Sect attached great importance to this Spirit Awakening, and the most anticipated individual was undoubtedly Yu Yuanzhen's biological son, Yu Xiaogang. Yu Xiaogang's mother, Wang Bilian, was born from the marriage between Yu Yuanzhen and Wang Bilian, who possessed 8th-level Innate Soul Power from a collateral branch. His Father's top-tier talent combined with an excellent mother made Yu Xiaogang the most promising existence to inherit or even surpass Yu Yuanzhen's talent. As for Yu Xiaomen, his mother, Yun Niang, wasn't even considered a Spirit Master; she was barely an afterthought.
Yu Yuanzhen's gaze swept over the children participating in the awakening and finally landed on Yu Xiaogang. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang stood in the center, head held high, chest out, and hands clasped behind his back. Unlike the other anxious children, he appeared exceptionally confident.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang so confident, Yu Yuanzhen's face showed a gentle smile. He beckoned and said, "Xiaogang, come here." Then he looked at Yu Xiaomen, who was shrinking his head beside Yu Xiaogang, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He had never liked this timid child, but he was his child nonetheless, so Yu Yuanzhen said coldly, "Xiaomen, you come here too."
"Yes, Father," Yu Xiaogang and Yu Xiaomen responded in unison, then approached Yu Yuanzhen.
Yu Yuanzhen embraced Yu Xiaogang, reaching out to stroke his Xiao Ping Tou, and asked, "Are you confident about this Awakening Ceremony?"
Yu Xiaogang did not answer directly but instead asked, "Father, what was your Innate Soul Power when you awakened your Spirit back then?"
"Father was level 9.5, just shy of full spirit power," Yu Yuanzhen replied.
Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a smile, and he confidently said, "Then my Innate Soul Power will definitely be full spirit power."
Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard and laughed happily, "Hahahahaha, good! Then I look forward to the emergence of a genius with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit and full Innate Soul Power."
After speaking, he looked at Yu Xiaomen, who was standing to the side, and asked, "What about you? Are you confident?"
"To Father, I..." Yu Xiaomen hesitated.
Yu Yuanzhen sighed and said, "Forget it, I don't have much expectation for you. As long as your Innate Soul Power is level 6 or above, Father will ensure your status as a core disciple, and in the future, you can just become a Spirit Saint in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Yu Xiaogang's eyes darted to the side, and he secretly plotted in his heart that after the Awakening Ceremony, he would order his subordinates to seize Yu Xiaomen's resources, preventing him from developing, and he would enjoy double the resources himself.
Yu Yuanzhen's gaze once again turned to Yu Xiaogang: "So, Xiaogang, do you plan to awaken first or last?"
Yu Xiaogang smiled smugly and said, "Father, the protagonist always makes the last appearance. Let others awaken their Spirits first, and then I'll awaken."
"Hahahahaha, good, let's save the surprise for last." Yu Yuanzhen instructed the person in charge of the Awakening Ceremony, saying, "This time, first awaken the disciples from the affiliated Sect and the outer Sect, then the core disciples. My two sons will be awakened last."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Following Yu Yuanzhen's instructions, the person in charge of the Awakening Ceremony responded, and then the Spirit Awakening Ceremony officially began.
"Chen Xuan, Spirit: Earth Tyrant Dragon, Innate Soul Power: Level 4."
"Lu Ming, Spirit: Bipedal Wyvern, Innate Soul Power: Level 5."
"Le Kai, Spirit: Flying Lizard, Innate Soul Power: Level 3."
As flashes of awakening light flickered, the disciples of the affiliated Sect successively awakened their Spirits. Although they all had the potential to become Spirit Masters, those with Innate Soul Power reaching level five were already considered decent young geniuses. Some were ecstatic because they awakened powerful talents, while other children silently walked off the stage because their Spirit talent was not as desired.
After the awakening ceremony for the affiliated Sect disciples concluded, it was the turn of the outer Sect disciples to awaken their Spirits.
"Yu Xiaotian, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Innate Soul Power: Level 6."
"Yu Xiaoshan, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Innate Soul Power: Level 5."
"Yu Xiaoming, Spirit: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Innate Soul Power: Level 6."
The outer Sect disciples all awakened the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit, and their overall talent quality was higher than that of the affiliated Sect disciples. However, First Elder Yu Luoguan shook his head and sighed, "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is getting worse with each generation."
Yu Luomian said, "This Awakening Ceremony for the outer Sect disciples isn't the main focus. The key is still to look at our direct disciples."
Yu Luotang stroked his chin and said, "I hope Ren'er can give this old man a surprise!"
Yu Luohuang said, "I hope these five little ones can all awaken good talents. That way, if the Clear Sky Sect has its Double Stars, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can also have its Five Absolutes."
"The Blue Tyrant Five Absolutes?" Yu Yuanzhen said without much hope, "It's not as if the children of us old fellows can all awaken spirit power above level eight. I don't hold out hope for all five to be exceptionally talented; if two can be, I'll be at ease, just like the Clear Sky Sect with their Twin Stars."
Hearing the term "Blue Tyrant Five Absolutes," Yu Xiaogang's heart was filled with disdain. He naturally knew who the Elder was referring to among the five, but he glanced at Yu Xiaomen beside him and thought to himself, 'You don't even qualify.'
Finally, only five children remained for the Spirit Awakening. Everyone's gaze was focused on these last five children, especially Yu Xiaogang, who stood in the center. In a sense, these five represented the future of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"Next, Yu Xiaoren!"
Third Elder Yu Luotang's child was the first to step onto the awakening platform, standing at the center of the Awakening Ceremony. The awakening Spirit Master helped him awaken his Spirit, and electric light accompanied by a dragon shadow emerged. As expected, his Spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, with level 8 Innate Soul Power.
Yu Luotang murmured, "Level eight spirit power, huh? Not bad. He will certainly become a Spirit Douluo in the future, and with some effort, he might even break through to Title Douluo, who knows."
Yu Luomian, who was beside him, shook his head, "Difficult, difficult, too difficult. Don't forget that I also had level eight Innate Soul Power back then."
"Next, Yu Xiaozhu."
First Elder Yu Luoguan's child stepped onto the stage. His Spirit awakened as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but his Innate Soul Power was slightly lower than Yu Xiaoren's.
"Only 7.5 levels of spirit power?" Yu Luoguan's expression wasn't good, but he could only accept the result, thinking to himself, it seems his lineage will decline in the future.
"Next, Yu Xiaoke."
Yu Luomian's son, Yu Xiaoke, stepped onto the stage. His Spirit awakened as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, with level 8 Innate Soul Power. His talent was good, but not enough to become a prominent figure.
