Tuoba Yan obtained the Chicken Charm too early. After his battle with Xie Yue, he felt there was room for improvement in the Mental Force Cage.
In Dragon Adventure, the Chicken Charm had very few appearances, like a chicken rib.
After some exploration and research, Tuoba Yan felt the Chicken Charm had limitless potential.
With reasonable utilization and development, its explosive power could even rival that of the other eleven charms.
Inside Xie Yue's room, Xie Yue slowly opened his eyes.
The teacher responsible for treating Xie Yue instructed him to rest well before leaving Zero Dormitory.
Xie Yue looked at Hu Li Na by the bed and felt guilty. "Sister, I'm sorry, I couldn't avenge you!"
Hu Li Na reached out and held Xie Yue's hand, comforting him. "Brother, you don't need to worry about it. You already did your best. Tuoba Yan is clever and talented; we met our match."
Xie Yue recalled his battle with Tuoba Yan and paused before asking, "Are you sure he's a human?"
Whether it was Tuoba Yan's Soul Power Level or his adaptability, it far exceeded what a seven-year-old should possess.
Xie Yue was naturally a genius and didn't concede to any peer.
It was only after seeing Tuoba Yan that he realized even a little kid could become so powerful.
It truly echoed that old saying: "People cannot be judged by appearances."
Xie Yue clenched his hands slightly, his gaze firm. "Sister, rest assured, once I'm better, I'll avenge you. I already know the effect of his Soul Skill. Next time, I'll definitely be able to defeat him!"
At the same time, the Ghost Douluo secretly protecting Xie Yue stood beneath the steps of the Pontiff's Hall and reported the situation to Bibi Dong in detail.
Bibi Dong, hearing the Ghost Douluo's account, said with a slightly surprised tone, "Tuoba Yan defeated Xie Yue?"
"Yes, Your Grace."
"His second Soul Skill is controlling items to levitate?"
"Yes, Your Grace. I saw it with my own eyes; Tuoba Yan can make items levitate. The Soul Skill is Floating Technique."
"First Soul Skill is healing, and second Soul Skill is Floating Technique. Tuoba Yan is evolving along a path of support combined with control."
Speaking of this, Bibi Dong curiously asked, "Then what Soul Skill did he use to defeat Xie Yue?"
The Ghost Douluo guessed uncertainly, "It might be a Soul Skill from his Soul Bone."
"A Soul Bone?"
Bibi Dong pondered.
The Tuoba Clan is a Soul Master lineage with a strong foundation, capable of obtaining a suitable Soul Bone for Tuoba Yan.
Sitting on the Pontiff's throne, Bibi Dong leaned back, her fingers repeatedly tapping on the throne's armrest, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
The Ghost Douluo's tone suddenly became serious. "Your Grace, I observed the back of Tuoba Yan's head and found that he has a peculiar back of the head, possessing a rebellious soul."
Bibi Dong's finger tapping on the armrest paused. "You mean he will rebel in the future?"
"Your Grace, Tuoba Xi is in charge of the Soul Hunting Squad. Tuoba Yan is a six-year-old Great Soul Master with two rings, having defeated the three-ring Soul Elder Xie Yue. He will surely become a Title Douluo in the future. This person must be guarded against!"
"Alright, I understand!"
Inside the empty Pontiff's Hall, only Bibi Dong sat on the Pontiff's throne.
Bibi Dong's fingers, placed on the throne's armrest, tapped lightly again and again.
After a short while, her eyelids narrowed slightly, and a pair of bright eyes emitted a dark light. A faint, sinister smile curved her lips.
A mocking laugh, seemingly from hell, echoed in her mind.
"A naturally rebellious soul?"
Fifty days later, Tuoba Yan walked out of the Simulated Training Grounds.
"My Soul Power has increased by another level, twenty-six now."
By chance, as he exited the training grounds, Hu Li Na also walked out.
Hu Li Na, as if Tuoba Yan were air, passed by him and headed straight back to Zero Dormitory.
Since Xie Yue lost to Tuoba Yan, he's been acting as if possessed. Besides eating and drinking, Xie Yue even stayed in the Simulated Training Grounds to sleep.
Hu Li Na has also been hit hard. She has almost no personal life, going back and forth between Zero Dormitory and the Simulated Training Grounds every day.
Looking at Hu Li Na's back, Tuoba Yan felt her aura had changed.
Hu Li Na, after a period of training, her Soul Power Level must have increased even higher.
Whether it was Xie Yue or Hu Li Na, they both seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, pouring all their thoughts into cultivation.
When Tuoba Yan returned to the dormitory, he saw Tuoba Xi waiting for him.
Tuoba Xi reached out and handed Tuoba Yan three solid, grayish-white, waxy substances.
"Yan'er, these are the three pieces of Dragon Secretion our family recently obtained."
Dragon Secretion, the excrement of a Sperm Whale, also known as Dragon Saliva Incense.
This substance has the magical effect of nourishing the soul and increasing mental strength.
Tuoba Yan reached out and took the Dragon Saliva Incense, placing it into his ring storage Soul Guide Device.
He noticed an unusual expression on Tuoba Xi's face and asked him with concern, "Grandfather, have you encountered something troubling?"
"You can't help me with what my grandfather is dealing with. Our clan has attracted unwanted attention."
"Attention from whom?"
"Many. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. I suspect some of them are affiliated with the Martial Soul Hall."
"Just a suspicion?"
"Alright. My investigation has revealed that the Pontiff, a Grand Elder, and several other elders' relatives have sent people to monitor us. I have a very strong feeling – I feel as if the entire world is watching the Tuoba Clan."
"Because of our clan's recent activities?"
"Yan'er, you're very perceptive. Our clan's widespread acquisition of Dragon Saliva Incense, learning from the experience with Whale Rubber, has attracted attention. Although we have an information advantage and acquired a large quantity of Dragon Saliva Incense in advance by purchasing it near the coast, other clans have now joined the buying frenzy."
"Do they know the true purpose of the Dragon Saliva Incense?"
"If they did, they wouldn't be watching our clan's members. Dragon Saliva Incense is far more precious than Whale Rubber. Only a select few members of our clan are worthy of using it. You are my grandson, and I worry that you too will be watched."
"They've already been watching."
Tuoba Xi glanced at the maid who was cleaning Zero Dormitory.
Her gaze would occasionally sneak over to them.
Although she was doing a good job of concealing it, it was detected by Tuoba Yan, whose mental force had reached the peak of the Spirit Yuan Realm.
No one turns down money.
As long as there was money, these maids would be more than willing to help others eavesdrop and spy on the students' conversations and actions in Zero Dormitory.
Tuoba Xi took a step towards the maid. Tuoba Yan quickly reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Grandfather, what are you going to do?"
"These maids can't stay. I'll drive them all away!"
"They're just trying to make a living; it's not easy for them. They haven't harmed me. Replacing these maids with others might not be any better. Besides, if others are watching us, plotting and scheming to get something, then we should just give it to them!"
"Give it away?"
"Do I look foolish? Let me ask you, what does our clan have the most of? The condition is that it must be something that seems useful but isn't very valuable."
"Well, there are a few things like that. What are your plans?"
"It's good that there are some. Grandfather, issue a task. Have the clan members acquire the things you mentioned."
"You're crazy. Those things are only slightly useful; they don't have much cultivation value."
"I'm not finished yet. Don't rush, old man. You pick something out of those things that seems a little useful, and you must find a way to inflate its price to a sky-high level. I'll cooperate with you and work hard to improve my cultivation during this time."
Hearing this, Tuoba Xi blinked, a spark of inspiration in his eyes. He instantly understood his grandson's meaning.
"You're trying to deceive them?"
Once something was inflated to a sky-high price, and that item originally had little use, the price would far exceed its actual value.
Tuoba Xi knew that inflating the price of the item wasn't Tuoba Yan's true goal. Tuoba Yan's real purpose was to sell everything he had at a high price when the item reached a sky-high price, and make a fortune.
In the near future, those who were watching the Tuoba Clan and plotting would inevitably lose a lot of money.
