"Wulin."
"You have to stay rational."
Torn between laughter and tears, Tang Luochuan wore a helpless look.
Since when had his well-behaved, sensible little brother actually learned to come over and tease him, his big brother, and enjoy the gossip?
The next day.
"The theory course we're covering today is Mecha..."
"Class dismissed."
"After school, Gu Yue, Tang Luochuan, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Wei Xiaofeng, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin, come with me."
Inside the classroom, Wu Changkong's gaze fell on the group led by Tang Luochuan.
After saying that, he had already headed toward a room—a training room inside the Teaching Building.
"Mm... huh?"
"Teacher, you were looking for us."
Tang Luochuan walked over, Gu Yue following at his side. The group sounded somewhat puzzled.
"I called you here precisely because of the Class Promotion Tournament. After all, your strength is the greatest in the class."
Looking at the group before him, Wu Changkong got straight to the point.
There was naturally no need to mention Soul Grand Masters like Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue, and even Tang Wulin had the strength to defeat an eighteen-rank soul master like Xie Xie. They were all first-rate geniuses.
"You should all have heard by now that we can challenge the higher grades. Our goal is to fight our way to fifth grade and become fifth grade's Class One."
Wu Changkong spoke bluntly. If they were going to fight, then they had to fight with real momentum and bring out these people's true talent.
Even fifth grade was nothing more than that.
"So, in the Class Promotion Tournament two months from now, Tang Luochuan, Gu Yue, Zhang Yangzi, and Wang Jinxi will be the main force, while Wei Xiaofeng, Xie Xie, and Tang Wulin will serve as support."
"Yes, Teacher."
No one had any objections to this.
There was naturally no need to mention Tang Wulin and Xie Xie. As the only two little soul masters present who were not Soul Grand Masters, of course their role as support would outweigh their role as a main force.
As for Wei Xiaofeng, though he felt unwilling about serving as support behind Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, he also truly knew that he could not compare with the two of them.
Those two...
Possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
"However, in the earlier grades, Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue will not make a move. Wulin and Xie Xie may both take the field. This is also the fastest way for you to improve your strength—battle."
Wu Changkong's words won everyone's agreement. With Tang Luochuan's and Gu Yue's cultivation, before fourth grade, they could basically slaughter their way through without restraint.
But for the two younger brothers who were not Soul Grand Masters, battle would still be a great help.
"But before that..."
"Let's talk about your problems first."
Wu Changkong's deep gaze swept over everyone. Aside from Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue, Tang Wulin and the others only felt as if a powerful, ferocious lion had locked onto them.
"Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue, you two..."
"No problems."
Looking in their direction, even Wu Changkong could not find a single flaw.
These two were like born monsters.
"Tang Luochuan's Golden Dragon King is a true dragon among dragons. I have never seen such a powerful martial soul. It's just that I really want to know..."
"The Elementalist martial soul—what kind of martial soul is it? A mutated martial soul with elemental abilities?"
Wu Changkong spoke slowly.
"That's right."
"My First Soul Skill is called Elemental Control. Just like the name says, it controls the power of elements..."
"The seven great elements, such as ice, fire, earth, wind, and so on."
Gu Yue nodded. In her hand, all kinds of elements appeared one after another, and she explained slowly.
"..."
Wu Changkong's face was filled with shock.
Although he had long guessed the ability of her martial soul, truly seeing this scene still left him astonished. Multi-elemental control—how terrifying was that?
Even if others possessed a martial soul with two elements, they were already rare existences, let alone someone like this, who grasped a full seven elements. Terrifying was hardly enough to describe it.
Detected that your friend Gu Yue's martial soul, Elementalist, possesses elemental power. The host is specially granted All Elemental Affinity. All elements will become your friendliest partners, assisting you imperceptibly.
Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out.
"All Elemental Affinity?"
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan wore a faint smile. Elemental power was not rare at all. With such an ability, his future development would undoubtedly become even better.
"One more thing. Gu Yue's martial soul is highly compatible with mine. In the future, we may be able to develop a Martial Soul Fusion Skill..."
At this moment, Tang Luochuan also spoke calmly.
"Hm?"
"Luochuan, you're even answering before anyone asks now."
Gu Yue smiled sweetly.
This Luochuan...
Now he was even rushing to answer first!
"It can develop into a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with shock in bold letters. Even Wu Changkong was the same.
Two heaven-sent talents, both with Soul Power near rank thirty at nine years old. If these two could also form a martial soul fusion...
Then that would be a legendary tale for the ages!
And...
"One is the king among dragons, and the other controls the elements. If these two combine, I can't even imagine what it would be like..."
Wu Changkong could not help sucking in a breath of cold air.
The situation of these two had once again refreshed his understanding!
"Wei Xiaofeng."
"Your martial soul is the Green Shadow Snake, and your soul skill is also developing toward the Control Type. There's nothing wrong with that..."
"Zhang Yangzi, your martial soul, Dark Demon Eagle, is itself a decent Assault Type flying martial soul. Paired with your cultivation, it's already quite good. Next, you need to pay attention to cultivating and improving your martial soul."
"Wang Jinxi, your martial soul's quality is higher than Zhang Yangzi's, and its upper limit is also higher. I hope you cherish your martial soul."
"And that connection between you two as well. I believe that no matter when it is, it will be your greatest trump card, so I won't have you demonstrate it in front of us."
Looking in Wang Jinxi's direction, Wu Changkong gave him a deep look and said.
The quality of the other party's martial soul was likewise top-grade among dragons. Although it looked like nothing much in front of Tang Luochuan, looking across the Douluo Continent, it was still an extraordinary top-tier martial soul.
And paired with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
This was a top-tier martial soul so powerful it had no bounds.
"Yes, Teacher."
Listening to Wu Changkong's analysis, the three of them all nodded seriously and had few objections.
"Next is Xie Xie."
"I can sense that your Twin Martial Souls seem to have major drawbacks. In this era, absorbing a Soul Spirit is already limited by spiritual power, making it impossible for Twin Martial Souls owners to bring out their advantage, let alone when you also..."
Wu Changkong wore a pensive expression. Any kind of Twin Martial Souls pairing was not a problem, but this pairing, where there were two martial souls, one a dagger and the other also a dagger...
This really was the only case of its kind.
"Teacher, you're right about that..."
Xie Xie smiled bitterly for a moment. He did not know why he was like this either. Other people's Twin Martial Souls were much better than his!
These Twin Martial Souls... had no advantage to bring out at all. Even his cultivation speed was inferior to other owners', and he was several ranks weaker than Zhang Yangzi and the other two among the group.
The hardest thing to accept was that his drawback was too absurd. He had to absorb one Soul Spirit for both martial souls before he could break through to the next realm. Was this still Twin Martial Souls?
"Lastly, as for Tang Wulin..."
"Your Blue Silver Grass martial soul is a beneficial mutation, but there seems to be another martial soul within your body, correct?"
Looking in Tang Wulin's direction, Wu Changkong said slowly.
"Yes, Teacher. I told you before that I often dream of a Giant Dragon, a dragon that looks a lot like my brother's martial soul, but also not quite like it..."
The latter said seriously.
"That powerful strength of yours must have been brought by that dragon. We just don't know what it will take to truly awaken it."
Wu Changkong looked troubled. If a martial soul did not awaken innately, then awakening it later was far more difficult.
Only Tang Luochuan looked at the scene before him while thoughts suddenly churned in his mind. He had suddenly remembered...
In the Original Work, how had Wulin's bloodline been activated again?
It seemed he was... stabbed by Xie Xie?
"Xie Xie."
For a moment, Tang Luochuan immediately looked at the latter.
"What is it, boss?"
Xie Xie looked at him blankly.
"Now, do exactly as I say."
"Mm, okay."
"Release your martial soul, then stab Wulin."
"Okay, okay, I'll stab—"
"Wait?"
"Boss, what did you say!"
After Xie Xie heard him clearly, his eyes instantly widened. As for Tang Wulin, the person about to be stabbed, question marks practically filled his head.
No, brother...
Is this right?
