"Luochuan."

"Your Soul Ring is..."

Tang Ziran's gaze fell on Tang Luochuan. At this moment, even he, a top-tier Sub-profession expert, found himself unable to understand what he was seeing.

He understood the strength of his son's beneficial Martial Soul mutation.

But for even the Soul Ring to become an unheard-of golden color was truly beyond his expectations. There could be such a Soul Ring?

White, yellow, purple, black, red...

He could understand all of those Soul Rings, but gold was something he had truly never heard of or seen before!

"I don't know either..."

Tang Luochuan put on a bewildered expression, though he was actually using the Soul Power within him to see whether he could change the Soul Ring's color and state...

However, even after exhausting every possible method, the Soul Ring's color remained fixed, showing no sign of being changeable.

Such an eye-catching Soul Ring could easily bring unnecessary trouble!

The host's Soul Ring color is too ordinary. The Competitive System has activated. You may freely modify the color of your Soul Ring. Including but not limited to white, yellow, purple, black, red, orange, gold, green...

"Hm?"

Just when he needed it most, Tang Luochuan's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing the voice in his mind.

The ability to modify a Soul Ring's color?

The next moment, with a thought from him, the golden Soul Ring truly transformed, becoming an ordinary yellow Soul Ring that looked completely unremarkable.

"This..."

"It can change back and forth?"

Tang Wulin's eyes widened again. Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were no different. Over the years, the couple had seen plenty, but this was their first time witnessing such a spectacle.

Especially from their own son...

"I don't know what's going on either."

"But I can just change it freely."

Tang Luochuan wore a confused expression as he said seriously.

"Luochuan, what is your First Soul Skill?"

At that moment, Tang Ziran could not help asking.

"My First Soul Skill is called Golden Dragon Tyrant Body. It increases all attribute damage by 200%."

Tang Luochuan said slowly with a smile.

In an instant, his first Blood Essence Soul Ring shone brilliantly. At once, golden light surged over his hand, which had not been particularly strong to begin with.

The next moment, under his family's watchful eyes, it transformed into a golden Dragon Claw.

First Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Tyrant Body. There was no need to say anything about the destructive power of such a Golden Dragon Claw!

"..."

"What a powerful aura."

Tang Luochuan leaned closer to inspect it and could not help sighing to himself.

In the Original Work, Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw had shattered the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of two Soul Grand Masters after just one seal was undone. Mine doesn't even have a seal. With one swipe...

If I faced a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, wouldn't I cripple both of them?

"Big Brother, you look so cool."

Looking toward the Golden Dragon Claw, Tang Wulin was deeply captivated and could not help saying so.

If he could use a move like that too, it would be wonderful!

"Luochuan, your First Soul Skill is very strong..."

"Tomorrow, you two will be reporting to Red Mountain Academy. Once you're at school, don't use your Soul Skills carelessly. Don't hurt the other children."

Father Tang said sternly. Although his son was only a Soul Master right now, that claw strike felt like something even a Soul Elder might not withstand. Was that just his imagination...?

"I will, Dad."

Tang Luochuan had no objection whatsoever. He really was afraid that if he bullied some children, he might accidentally wipe them out...

On the very night Tang Luochuan obtained his Soul Ring.

In his sleep, Tang Wulin drowsily arrived in a wondrous place.

A mysterious place.

"This is..."

"Where?"

Tang Wulin rubbed his eyes groggily. Looking around at where he was, he asked in confusion.

He knew he was asleep, and he knew this was clearly a dream. Why did it feel so real?

It was a dim world, as though it had never seen daylight, with the aura of purgatory everywhere. Then, a golden Giant Dragon covered from head to toe in eighteen massive chains, imprisoned in this place, abruptly entered his field of vision.

For a moment, he was utterly stunned.

It was an unconscious golden Giant Dragon. At this moment, it seemed to have little life left, sealed here in despair as though waiting for someone destined to find it.

"What is this..."

"It looks like Big Brother's Martial Soul."

Tang Wulin subconsciously walked closer and could not help saying it aloud. This enormous Golden Dragon really looked like his brother's Martial Soul, only enlarged countless times over.

However, the moment he reached out and touched it, the Giant Dragon that should have been unconscious suddenly stirred violently. Its enormous eyes locked onto him, and he instantly woke up...

"What a strange dream."

Tang Wulin came to his senses. Sunlight from outside the window shone on his face, and he could not help sighing.

"..."

The next morning.

Red Mountain Academy was not far from the residential complex where Tang Luochuan's Family lived. Since Aolai City was small and few people awakened Soul Power, there were not many students in the Soul Master Class at all.

Even with Tang Luochuan and Tang Wulin included, there were only twenty or thirty students in the entire class. And this was a whole class!

Because Aolai City was a small city and none of the children possessed especially extraordinary talent, aside from him, the strongest was only Innate Level 6.

Tang Luochuan paid no attention to any of that. Only on the way home after school, while taking his younger brother with him, did he fall into thought.

"Today."

"I'll meet Na'er, right?"

Tang Luochuan could not help thinking.

In the Original Work, Na'er's appearance had been the Silver Dragon King's attempt to experience the human world, while also drawing close to Wulin, who carried the Golden Dragon King's aura.

But this time, I'm the one with the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul. So the person Na'er will probably focus on... is me?

As he walked home, Tang Luochuan kept his eyes on the surroundings, yet he failed to spot Na'er.

It was not until they neared the alley by his home that three sleazy voices caught his attention.

"Little sister, want to come with your big brothers?"

"Those pretty eyes look like they came from another continent. They'll definitely fetch a good price on the black market."

"Hehehe..."

The moment he heard those voices, Tang Luochuan was no longer sleepy.

"Big Brother, where are you going?"

Without even responding to his brother's call, he headed toward the source of the voices. Soon, he saw that they belonged to three street thugs.

And surrounded by the three of them was a little girl.

She had short silver hair that reflected the sunlight naturally, making it especially beautiful. Her eyes were large, like two clear purple crystals.

Her face was somewhat dirty, but even so, it could not hide her stunning looks. It was hard to imagine just how breathtaking she would become in the future.

Yet this very girl was trembling under the encirclement of several thugs.

"Let that girl go."

Tang Luochuan did not hesitate in the slightest. He stepped in front of the three men and shouted.

"Where did this little brat come from?"

"You're already playing the hero saving the beauty act from television at your age?"

The thugs glanced at him and burst out laughing, speaking disdainfully. One of them even waved the knife in his hand, warning him that blades had no eyes.

"..."

Tang Luochuan said nothing more.

The next moment, however, a yellow Soul Ring suddenly appeared beside him, leaving the three men before him stunned.

A hundred-year Soul Ring!

A Soul Master? This was actually a Soul Master!

Never mind whether they could defeat him, the hundred-year Soul Ring he possessed meant that he had absorbed a hundred-year Soul Beast worth at least a million!

"..."

"Damn it, how did we run into a genius Soul Master?"

The three thugs were not fools. Although they snorted coldly, they still cursed as they left. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare make a move against a Soul Master.

Besides, this was someone they could not afford to offend.

"..."

As the three thugs disappeared, the fear in the little girl's eyes instantly faded away. She turned to look at Tang Luochuan, curiosity filling her adorable large eyes.

There seemed to be something about him...

Something that attracted her!

"It's all right now. The bad guys are gone. Little sister, are you okay?"

"What's your name?"

Tang Luochuan asked with a gentle smile.

"I..."

"My name is Na'er. Thank you, Big Brother. I'm fine."

The girl shook her head and replied in a sweet voice.

"Where is your family?"

"I..."

"I don't have any family anymore."

Na'er shook her head, sadness on her face.

To her, family was an unfamiliar word.

"Is that so? Then, Na'er..."

"Would you like to come home with me?"

Tang Luochuan smiled faintly and held out his hand. Looking at the innocent, dazed girl before him, he said with a smile.

"I..."

Na'er looked slightly uneasy. Her dazed eyes fixed on his outstretched hand as she reached out her own hand and said softly.

"I'm willing."
