Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 51 Unfair Treatment, Xiao Gang Kneels

When Yu Yuanzhen appeared, Ning Qiuyang had completely disappeared into the space between Yin and Yang.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is the weakest of the three upper clans, Yu Yuanzhen's title of Douluo is not fake.

After Yu Yuanzhen spoke, Yu Luomian was powerless to stop Yu Xiaogang from entering the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Valley.

Upon entering the valley, many people of Yu Xiaogang's generation immediately recognized him as the renowned master.

"Yu Xiaogang is back."

The news spread at an astonishing speed, and many people immediately recalled their memories from that year.

"How dare this good-for-nothing come back?"

"Could it be that he couldn't make it out there and had no choice but to slink back home?"

“It doesn’t matter whether he comes back or not. The most important thing is that the family’s resources are limited. If the clan leader dotes on this son but doesn’t care about the lives of other clan members and insists on investing resources into this bottomless pit, I absolutely cannot agree to it.”

"I won't agree either. Why should a piece of trash enjoy so many resources?"

Yu Xiaogang was not well-liked in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, and the mutation of his martial soul was actually a secondary reason.

The only reason so many clansmen dislike him is that Yu Xiaogang has infringed upon their interests.

In a family-based sect like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, even if the sect leader cannot achieve 100% fairness, he should at least ensure the most basic fairness.

However, Yu Yuanzhen's favoritism towards Yu Xiaogang was excessive.

Completely disregarding the attitudes of other clansmen, they invested hundreds or thousands of times more resources in Yu Xiaogang than in other clansmen.

If Yu Xiaogang had exceptional talent and could break through to become a Title Douluo, bringing benefits to his family, that would be one thing.

But Yu Xiaogang was almost as useless as a piece of trash; his soul power grew at an unusually slow pace, and he was stuck before level 30.

It's fortunate that Yu Xiaogang's soul power stopped increasing at level 29; otherwise, if Yu Yuanzhen had continued to invest resources, the other clansmen would have been furious.

With Yu Xiaogang back this time, everyone's biggest worry is that the old story will repeat itself.

“Brother, you saw it too. Look at how the clansmen treated Xiaogang when he came back. It’s not that I don’t understand the father-son relationship between you and Xiaogang, but you are both the sect leader and the clan chief. You should at least consider the feelings of the clansmen.”

Yu Luomian earnestly and patiently explained.

“I know that Xiao Gang’s soul power cannot increase, so I will not waste resources like before.”

"I hope so. I'll go and reassure my people first."

"Well, let's go."

During their conversation, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered slightly.

Yu Xiaogang's resentment of the unfairness of fate caused his martial soul to mutate into a useless one.

Otherwise, as the young clan leader, what if he uses more resources?
"Xiao Gang, don't blame your second uncle. He was thinking about the continuation of the family."

Yu Xiaogang quickly replied, "How could I blame my second uncle? It's all my fault for being so lazy and slow to improve my strength."

In front of Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaogang naturally wouldn't show any dissatisfaction with Yu Luomian.

The two walked deep into the valley.

Yu Yuanzhen said, "Your room has always been reserved for you. Now that you're back, don't leave again."

"Father, I still have things to do out there, so I came back this time..."

Even Yu Xiaogang was somewhat embarrassed to reveal his purpose for coming.

"Hey, just tell me what you need this time you're back. As long as it's not too difficult, I'll help you."

If Yu Luomian could guess that Yu Xiaogang had ulterior motives for returning, then Yu Yuanzhen would have been even more certain.

Although he appeared rather cold towards Yu Xiaogang in front of other clansmen, he never gave up on Yu Xiaogang as his son.

Yu Xiaogang explained the purpose of his return with a hint of shame. After he finished speaking, he kept his head down, and Yu Yuanzhen also fell into a long silence.

Having received no response for a long time, Yu Xiaogang continued:
“Father, Xiao San is my student and carries all my hopes. He has great talent and doesn’t need many resources. Just some Thunder Pattern Grass, Bell Stone Emulsion, and some auxiliary medicinal materials can greatly improve his cultivation speed. Father, please help me one more time.”

By the end, Yu Xiaogang's tone had become somewhat pleading.

"Is Yu Xiaogang asking Tang San for favors? I can't ignore that." Ning Qiuyang heard Yu Xiaogang's words clearly.

After a long while, Yu Yuanzhen sighed again.

"Xiao Gang, your disciple's surname is Tang. What is his relationship with the Haotian Sect?"

As the leader of one of the three upper sects, Yu Yuanzhen was very sensitive to the surname "Tang".

Although the Haotian Sect has been in seclusion for many years, Yu Yuanzhen will never forget the Haotian Sect's invincible past.

Back then, the strength of the Haotian Sect far surpassed that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and they simply didn't take them, who were also among the three upper sects, seriously.

The Haotian Sect was in trouble, while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were secretly delighted.

If they weren't worried that the Spirit Hall would become too powerful to control, they would probably be applauding.

Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't feel bad about spending resources on Yu Xiaogang.

However, if it were to cultivate talent for the Haotian Sect, not only would the other disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect definitely object, but even he personally would absolutely not agree.

Yu Xiaogang had considered lying, but he knew that it wouldn't be easy to fool Yu Yuanzhen.

“Father, Tang San is indeed a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, but he is the son of the Clear Sky Douluo. The Clear Sky Douluo has been expelled from the Clear Sky Sect, so Tang San can't be considered a member of the Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, if we help Tang San now, he will definitely repay the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect in the future, and the Clear Sky Douluo will also remember our favor.”

"what?"

Upon hearing that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, Yu Yuanzhen was greatly shocked.

You're saying Tang San's father is Tang Hao?

“That’s right, Father. You know the strength of Haotian Douluo. To make Haotian Douluo owe our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan a favor is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

Yu Yuanzhen chuckled.

"Don't I know Tang Hao's character? He was notoriously arrogant and vindictive back then. How could he possibly remember someone's kindness?"

Tang Hao's talent was absolutely top-notch among his peers. When he first started out, he looked down on people from other sects.

He not only offended the Spirit Hall, but also clashed with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.

It would have been better if Yu Xiaogang hadn't mentioned that Tang San was Tang Hao's son, but now that Yu Yuanzhen knows, he dislikes Tang San even more.

Yu Xiaogang never expected that mentioning Tang Hao would make things even more difficult.

He had always regarded Tang Hao as his idol, but he didn't know that his father had such a bad impression of Tang Hao.

“Xiao San… Xiao San is different from Haotian Douluo. He has always been humble and respectful of his teachers. He will definitely live up to my expectations and will remember the help the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan gave him.”

Despite Yu Xiaogang's repeated requests, Yu Yuanzhen remained unmoved.

"Father, I'm begging you, please? This is the last time I'm pleading for your help."

Yu Xiaogang couldn't persuade Yu Yuanzhen, and actually knelt down in front of him.

"Xiaogang, you..."

Yu Yuanzhen knew how proud Yu Xiaogang was, yet Yu Xiaogang actually knelt down and begged him for Tang San's sake. No matter how much Yu Yuanzhen disliked the people of the Clear Sky Sect, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Let me help you."

Ning Qiuyang noticed that Yu Yuanzhen's attitude had softened considerably, and he was about to be persuaded by Yu Xiaogang, so Ning Qiuyang decided to help them out.
