Red Mountain Academy was a junior comprehensive academy large enough to accommodate two thousand students. The academy was divided overall into ordinary classes and Soul Master Classes.

Besides normal cultural education, the Soul Master Class also had to learn some knowledge about martial souls, as well as how to become a Soul Master, preparing them to enter intermediate academies in the future.

This year's Soul Master Class at Red Mountain Academy had a total of fifteen students. There were far too few lucky children whose martial soul awakening was accompanied by Soul Power. In a small place like Aolai City, this year's number of Soul Master Class students was actually considered quite high. In previous years, the number of Soul Master Class students rarely exceeded ten.

The setting sun slanted westward, and the entire city of Aolai City was shrouded in a rose gold ocean, peaceful and quiet.

At that moment, the quiet Red Mountain Academy suddenly became noisy, filled with the laughter of young children. Class was already over.

Many parents gathered at the entrance of Red Mountain Academy, beaming as they picked up their children and asked what the teachers of Red Mountain Academy had taught them.

Yet whether it was these young children or those parents, all of their gazes, without exception, were drawn to a glossy black Soul Guidance Car. In a small place like Aolai City, such a high-end Soul Guidance Car was rarely seen.

However, the black-tinted windows blocked their sight, leaving them unable to see what was happening inside the car.

Yu Nanyuan sat in the back row of the Soul Guidance Car, and his gaze toward Red Mountain Academy suddenly sharpened.

In his line of sight, a little boy whose build was slightly taller than his peers silently walked out of Red Mountain Academy alone. Among the children his age, his appearance was the most outstanding. He had short black hair, and his beautiful, pitch-black eyes were filled with disappointment.

When he walked out of Red Mountain Academy, Tang Wulin's face was full of unhappiness. In all his life, he had never felt as depressed as he did today.

Although he had been born into a commoner family that was not wealthy, his parents loved him dearly, and his family was very harmonious. Even when he did something wrong, his father and mother would patiently teach him and had never scolded him.

But today at Red Mountain Academy, he had encountered setbacks for the first time. Because his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, those classmates all laughed at him. Even the teacher in charge of the Soul Master Class was not warm toward him. In the afternoon, when guiding them in Meditation Cultivation, the teacher had clearly spent the least time beside him.

A six-year-old child had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world ahead of time.

Tang Wulin had always had a cheerful and optimistic nature. The teacher's contempt and his classmates' mockery did not crush him. Instead, they stirred up the stubbornness in his heart.

"Is Blue Silver Grass really just a useless martial soul? Even if my martial soul isn't good, I'm still going to become a great Soul Master. Dad said that success is ninety-nine percent hard work and one percent talent. If my talent isn't good, then I'll work twice as hard!"

Once he had figured it out on his own, the gloom in his heart dispersed as well.

Tang Wulin excitedly prepared to go home, wanting to see what delicious food his mother had made for him this time, and his steps unconsciously quickened a great deal.

"Ah!" Because he had not been paying attention to the road in front of him for a moment, he bumped into a tall Man in Black.

Tang Wulin raised his head and looked at the stern-faced Man in Black. At a loss, he waved his hands a little and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, uncle. I didn't do it on purpose."

Especially after seeing the Soul Guidance Car behind the Man in Black, he grew even more uneasy.

"It's all right, little friend." A faint smile was squeezed onto the Man in Black's stiff face, and he patted Tang Wulin's little head.

"Be careful on your way back. Don't be so reckless in the future."

Although Tang Wulin was not as mature and clever as the chairman's grandson, seeing him be so polite still left a very good impression on him.

"Thank you, uncle." An innocent smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face again. He bowed to the Man in Black before finally leaving. Before he left, he even looked at that Soul Guidance Car with eyes full of longing and clenched his little fists hard.

"When I become a Soul Master in the future, I'm going to buy Dad a Soul Guidance Car too."

Yu Nanyuan leaned indifferently by the car window, watching as Tang Wulin passed by him. His slightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed, and silver light flickered in the palm of his right hand. His own martial soul, Void Chains, vaguely gave him the feeling that it wanted to release itself out of control. That was the martial soul's instinct to suppress a top-tier Dragon Bloodline.

His martial soul was very likely to have a certain suppressive effect on Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline as well.

And from this, he had basically confirmed Tang Wulin's identity.

Yu Nanyuan forcibly suppressed the intense emotional fluctuations in his heart and instructed the Man in Black through the bracelet-shaped Soul Guidance Communicator on his left wrist, "Let's go back, Uncle Li."

"Yes, young master."

The middle-aged man pinched the earpiece beside his ear and replied respectfully.

He opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. The Soul Guidance Car started up again and headed back in the direction of Eastsea City.

After they reentered the coastal expressway, the sky had gradually darkened. The last afterglow of the setting sun was reflected on the sea surface, like a beautiful mirror of the sky. The soft purple ambient lights inside the Soul Guidance Car lit up, turning into flowing light reflected in Yu Nanyuan's eyes.

Because of his existence, the Silver Dragon King would probably never appear in Aolai City. Tang Wulin and she might never have any further connection either.

Yu Nanyuan did not feel any ill will toward Tang Wulin during his childhood. Tang Wulin's only fault, perhaps, was that he had inherited Tang San's bloodline. Of course, later on, after being affected by Tang San's Divine Sense and brainwashed by Shrek Academy, Tang Wulin also did many absurd things.

It was just that he had no need to impose the events from his Past Life Memory onto the current Tang Wulin. In the future, they could just get along normally.

Moreover, with Tang San's Divine Sense present, it was impossible for him to do anything to Tang Wulin. He even planned to temporarily hide the ability of his First Soul Skill Void Dragon Locking Array to suppress Dragon Bloodline. This was his greatest trump card for the future.

Just then, Yu Nanyuan received a call from Yu Zhen.

"All right, Grandpa. I'll come right away." Yu Nanyuan briefly exchanged a few words with Yu Zhen, then reminded Xiao Li, who was driving.

"Uncle Li, go straight to the port."

Eastsea City was the second-largest city in the eastern part of the Sun Moon Federation, second only to Skysea City. Relying on its abundant ocean resources, its commerce was highly developed. The largest port in Eastsea City, Eastsea Port, was in no way inferior to Skysea Port in Skysea City.

When the Soul Guidance Car arrived at Eastsea Port, a luxurious giant ship appeared in Yu Nanyuan's sight. At the same time, he also saw Yu Zhen and Xu Xingwei talking at the boarding area of the giant ship, as well as Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyan, the siblings.
