Chapter 152 Try to think positively about everything.
At this moment, Bai He was filled with frustration and doubt. His opponent was clearly not a speed cultivator and his cultivation level was lower than his, yet the speed he displayed was in no way inferior to his own full-power burst.
However, after these mixed feelings, a strong sense of joy welled up within him. The stronger Yu Tianyun performed, the more he wanted him to become his eligible bachelor.
Yu Tianyun's mental power had been firmly locked onto Bai He's five bodies from the very beginning, but Bai He was also keeping a close eye on him.
The white cranes put immense pressure on him. The five swifts with pointed tails darted and weaved through the hall, covering almost the entire area, leaving Yu Tianyun overwhelmed.
From the moment the white crane unleashed its full power, Yu Tianyun had no chance to catch his breath, and each time he could only barely evade the white crane's incredibly swift pursuit.
This was largely thanks to Yu Tianyun's outstanding physical qualities and powerful mental strength, which allowed him to perfectly control every muscle and every bit of soul power, making his reactions extremely accurate and swift.
The incense had burned more than halfway, but Bai He showed no impatience whatsoever; on the contrary, Yu Tianyun was becoming increasingly anxious. One against five, and within the confines of this large hall, Yu Tianyun's disadvantage was far too obvious.
If he had known earlier that the white crane was so fast and could split into five bodies, he would never have chosen this hall as the venue.
If it were a pure speed contest outside, he might not necessarily lose to Bai He. Although his superior self-control made him appear more agile, it was merely a matter of prolonging his life and could not compensate for the enormous disadvantage in numbers.
Moreover, within the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Bai He, as a Soul Douluo, had enough soul power to maintain the full speed of his five bodies.
Given the current situation, it will be difficult for Yu Tianyun to continue dodging.
Of course, he still had many tricks up his sleeve, such as the two major domains, gravity control, and even mental attacks. Each of these methods made things much easier for Yu Tianyun, allowing him to hold out for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
But he didn't want to expose himself, and besides, it wasn't just a pure speed contest; he didn't want to resort to such underhanded tactics. Although he wasn't exactly a saint, he still hoped to compete fairly and squarely, and disdained any underhanded methods.
This isn't a life-or-death crisis. If he were truly in danger or faced unfair treatment, he would stop at nothing to avoid it, but that's clearly not the case right now.
"Sigh! Oh well, supporting the Bai family isn't that difficult."
"Try to look on the bright side. In the future, we can get some hidden weapons from the richest man's father-in-law to equip the Bai family. That would be a considerable force."
"Moreover, Bai Chenxiang is quite beautiful, even if she's a bit flat-chested, she can grow bigger under my tutelage."
"Also, Bai He has the best relationship with Yang Wudi, so he might be able to bring the Po clan into the sect as well."
"All things considered, it's not a loss!"
With his anger released, Yu Tianyun was quickly caught up by the white crane.
The moment the white crane's wing touched Yu Tianyun, Yu Tianyun said helplessly:
"Chief Bai, you've won!"
The white crane withdrew its paw, its form returned to normal, and a satisfied smile appeared on its face:
"You lost with honor, kid. By the way, shouldn't you change how you address me?"
Yu Tianyun's expression was complex at this moment. His chest heaved, he sighed, and he spoke with difficulty:
"grandfather!"
"Hahaha~"
The white crane burst into hearty laughter:
"Okay, okay, from now on we're family!"
Yu Tianyun forced a smile, still feeling somewhat frustrated about the outcome of the competition.
At this moment, Bai Chenxiang suddenly stepped forward, looked at Bai He, and asked:
"Grandpa, what do you mean by 'family'?"
"Well……"
Bai He then realized that his granddaughter was still beside him, and a barely perceptible look of embarrassment appeared on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke:
"Xiangxiang, I'll tell you about this later. Tianyun and I have something to discuss. Go downstairs and arrange a room for Tianyun."
"oh!"
Bai Chenxiang was unaware that her grandfather had "sold" her to Yu Tianyun. At this moment, she looked at the two of them with blank expressions and was only a little confused. She responded and then withdrew.
Then, seeing that Bai Chenxiang had already gone far away, Bai He took out a box from the storage soul tool at his waist and handed it to Yu Tianyun.
It was a pure white jade box, about one and a half feet long and half a foot wide, with a smooth and lustrous surface. It was carefully carved from the finest mutton-fat jade.
"Grandpa, is this the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng?"
Yu Tianyun accepted it without hesitation, and the word "Grandpa" came out more and more naturally. Anyway, he had more and more grandfathers, and as the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less you have to worry. Yu Tianyun no longer had any resistance to it.
The white crane smiled slightly and said:
"That's right, let's open it and see!"
The more he looked at Yu Tianyun, the more pleasing he became. Not only was he handsome, but his talent and strength were also so high. Being able to be his grandson-in-law was a blessing he had accumulated over eight lifetimes.
"Um!"
Yu Tianyun responded softly, and then carefully opened the jade box. Instantly, a refreshing fragrance wafted out of the jade box.
Inside the jade box lay a ginseng root over a foot long, its entire body a translucent, blood-red color. Its surface had distinct raised bumps that connected to form a unique pattern. This pattern resembled a five-clawed dragon soaring through the heavens—the very Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng he had longed for.
Yu Tianyun quickly covered the jade box to prevent the medicinal effects from dissipating.
Then, looking at the white crane, the two began to discuss the marriage alliance and the Min clan joining the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan.
After everything was agreed upon, Yu Tianyun wrote a letter and gave it to Bai He, asking him to send it to the Blue Lightning Overlord Sect to inform his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen.
Afterwards, Bai He chatted with Yu Tianyun, and Bai He asked:
"Tianyun, where are you going next? What are your plans?"
Yu Tianyun considered the question in his mind for a moment, then replied:
"Grandpa, I'm going to visit the Broken Clan next. My sixth soul skill is to condense a long spear, so I want to learn spear techniques and then return to Heaven Dou City to participate in the All-Continent Advanced Academy Soul Master Elite Tournament in a little over a year."
There was nothing to hide, and through his memories from his previous life, he knew that Baihe and Yang Wudi were clearly closer than the patriarchs of the other two clans. With Baihe putting in a good word for him, Yang Wudi might be able to pass on his true skills to him without reservation.
Sure enough, Baihe's next words did not disappoint him.
"I see. Tianyun, you rest here for a day, and I'll go with you tomorrow. Yang Wudi has many flaws; he's stubborn and arrogant, even more so than me. Among the patriarchs of our four single-attribute clans, he's the strongest. Don't be fooled by the fact that his soul power is about the same as mine; if it really came down to a fight, even the patriarchs of the other two clans wouldn't be his match, because their defenses aren't strong enough to withstand Yang Wudi's 'Break' attack."
"He has two great passions in his life: one is alchemy, which I'm sure you know, and the other is marksmanship. Don't let his Soul Douluo cultivation fool you; when it comes to marksmanship alone, even a Title Douluo-level master might not be able to match him. However, he also values marksmanship extremely highly and might not necessarily teach it to you. But I'll put in a good word for you, and maybe I can get him to agree."
"Furthermore, I will also persuade him to join the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan. As for the Power Clan and the Imperial Clan, the two clans have a closer relationship and are both loyal to the Haotian Clan, so I probably won't join the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan. I won't waste my breath on them."
"Thank you very much, Grandpa."
Yu Tianyun was overjoyed. He had long since given up hope on the Yu Clan. Just as Bai He had said, their clan leader Niu Gao had a better relationship with Titan, and Titan was a loyal servant to Tang Hao. Therefore, it was unlikely that the Yu Clan would join their Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. But having the Po Clan was enough.
Yu Tianyun then gave Bai He a betrothal gift of one million gold soul coins, and Bai He, unusually generous, threw a grand banquet.
For a time, the grandfather and grandson chatted happily. As evening approached, Yu Tianyun, led by a member of the Min clan, arrived at the room that had been arranged for him.
After taking a shower, Yu Tianyun put on a loose nightgown and began to cultivate cross-legged on the bed.
His current soul power cultivation level is still at level 64. Although he has condensed a soul core and can cultivate at any time, his physical aptitude is also top-notch and will not cause any obstacles to his cultivation.
However, since his level has reached the Soul Emperor level, it is naturally impossible for him to be the same as when he was a Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable. The amount of soul power required for each level increase is much greater than before.
Furthermore, compared to other Soul Masters of the same level, his Soul Power is of higher quality, with a large portion of it already in the form of solidified Soul Power. Therefore, his cultivation speed is relatively slower than that of a Great Soul Master or Soul Venerable.
Therefore, whenever he has free time, he will meditate, which will make his cultivation speed faster.
"It seems that reaching level 70 by the time the Soul Master Competition begins will be a bit of a stretch."
Yu Tianyun couldn't help but sigh softly, but then smiled gently:
"My current cultivation speed is already beyond what others can imagine. One must know how to be content; haste makes waste."
Yu Tianyun calmed his mind; the more agitated he was, the worse the effect of his cultivation would be.
Today's match with Bai He made him put away the blind confidence that had grown from his sudden increase in strength. If he had encountered an enemy, his arrogance might have cost him his life; his previous caution and humility were far from enough.
"Knock knock!"
Just as Yu Tianyun was reflecting on himself, there was a knock on the door, and Yu Tianyun immediately sensed that it was Bai Chenxiang.
"Please come in."
It's so late, and Bai Chenxiang came to find him. Yu Tianyun was obviously a little surprised and quickly said...
