How Am I Special? How Is He Different?

After that, Wu Yang Jin left with both surprise and confusion. Still, there were things that puzzled him. That uncle had suddenly become so serious, telling him a whole string of life-philosophy-like experiences.

To be honest, he felt that if they became familiar with each other, the other party would probably lecture him at length.

Then there was the matter of Martial Souls. Rather than that, Old Long gave him a familiar feeling. And with something like this appearing inside his body, he was surprised that he did not find it strange at all.

Although his Martial Souls had awakened, one was Starry-Eyed Gaze, and the other was the Snow Enchantress.

Yet both Martial Souls had strange aspects. One was the Snow Enchantress. He felt that when this Martial Soul awakened, he had lost consciousness for a period of time. Something might have happened during that time, but it was inconvenient for him to investigate now. After all, he was not home.

Second was Starry-Eyed Gaze. Body-type Martial Souls were not unheard of, so it was not particularly unusual. But this Martial Soul gave him a familiar feeling, like the feeling of someone he knew.

Though he was still young, he felt as though he himself were a mystery. Could it be that...

"Could it be that I transmigrated here... just like Tang San?"

Old Long had told him about that as well, though he was also puzzled as to why he knew such things. Since he could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, he might as well stop thinking about it for now.

So, he decided to wait outside for Tang Wu Lin. There was nothing else for him to do anyway. Just as he was thinking that, he saw that Tang Wu Lin had already been waiting for him.

"Hm? Wulin? You came out so quickly?"

"Y-Yeah."

Tang Wu Lin sounded somewhat dispirited. What was going on? Wu Yang Jin soon thought of something, confirming his suspicion.

"Wulin, um... I wanted to ask, what are your Martial Soul and Soul Power?"

Hearing this, Tang Wu Lin put on a sorrowful expression as he looked at him, seeming aggrieved yet helpless.

"I... my Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. My Innate... sob... Soul Power is Level Three..."

Damn it, he should have known better than to ask. In this situation, Tang Wu Lin probably had no intention of asking about him either. When he was already like this, how could he have the heart to ask about someone else?

However, Tang Wu Lin then asked something he did not need to ask.

"Then... what about you?"

"Uh... well, mine is..."

"Don't tell me even you, Yang Jin!"

Then, one sentence made Tang Wu Lin feel the unfairness of fate.

"My Martial Soul is the Snow Enchantress. It counts as a Beast Martial Soul, I suppose. My Soul Power is Innate Full Soul Power... Level 10."

"Oh, I thought... Wait... Level 10... Innate... No!!"

Tang Wu Lin suddenly felt the gap between their lives. Though he was still young, it felt as though something had stabbed him right in the heart. (Tang Wu Lin is portrayed as seeming a little older here despite still being young, simply to make it more interesting. Please excuse any abruptness.)

Actually, there was no need for him to hide it from Tang Wu Lin. But he also knew that he was not ordinary, and it was only for safety's sake. Tang Wu Lin was not someone who would speak carelessly, but it was also for his own good. It was better for him to know less for now.

When the two of them became strong in the future, or when it became necessary, it would not be too late to reveal it.

After thinking it over, he decided to show the Snow Enchantress to everyone. The Snow Enchantress would make it easier to conceal and disguise his other two Martial Souls: Starry-Eyed Gaze and the Dark Black Dragon. (Old Long was referred to here as the Dark Black Dragon.)

Afterward, he spent quite a while comforting Tang Wu Lin. When Tang Wu Lin's father came to pick them up, he was also extremely surprised to see what had happened.

Wu Yang Jin truthfully explained the situation. Tang Wu Lin's father was happy for him, but he also greatly encouraged Tang Wu Lin.

After returning home, he hurried into his room to have a conversation. After all, he needed to figure some things out before going to Tang Wu Lin's house for dinner.

His uncle and aunt probably felt that it was not easy for someone so young to live alone, so they often took care of him afterward.

"Old Long, I'm here. Today was really interesting!"

"Mm, but looking at the bigger picture, that Tang Wu Lin is no ordinary child."

"Hm? Wulin isn't ordinary?"

"That's right. I can say with certainty that child is not an ordinary child."

"Mm... you mean, he might be like me?"

"Under these circumstances, he is indeed like you, little Jin~"

Suddenly, a light and graceful female voice came from behind him, and someone hugged him.

"Eh? Eh!!"

He immediately panicked. Though he knew something had gone wrong during his Martial Soul awakening, he had not expected another being like Old Long to appear.

This person was the Snow Empress. Her incomparably beautiful face looked at Wu Yang Jin.

"Sure enough... it really is you. I never expected you to be so cute when you were little~"

The Snow Empress changed her icy gaze and pinched Wu Yang Jin's cheek as she spoke.

"Huh?? What's going on? Old Long, save me!"

The Snow Empress gave Wu Yang Jin a thorough kneading, but Old Long did not particularly want to interfere. He wore an expression that said he was not listening at all, completely at odds with his imposing aura and enormous body.

"Alright, I'm done teasing you. You have something you want to ask, right?" the Snow Empress said.

"Yes. First of all... um... Sister, can I call you that?"

"Hm? Of course."

"Then, who exactly are you?"

"Me... why don't you guess?"

Hearing that, Wu Yang Jin had some ideas. Clad in spotless white, with an icy presence and a gaze of extreme cold, he could only think of two people.

One was the Ice Empress, and the other was the Snow Empress. But he remembered that both of them had clearly ascended to the God Realm.

"I can't figure it out," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Hm? Alright then. Like this Old Long gentleman here, I am a mysterious existence."

"That's right... you can call her Miss Bai Xue."

"Miss Bai Xue? Then, Sister Xue, can I call you that from now on?"

"Of course, little Jin."

After that, he asked some more questions.

"My Innate Soul Power is Level 10. Then, Old Long, what about my soul ring?"

"Mm, you also know that you need a soul spirit. Originally, preparations had been made, and I could directly bestow a soul ring upon you."

"Bestow one directly?! Old Long, you're far too mysterious!" Wu Yang Jin exclaimed.

"Haha, this old man is not that mysterious. You simply do not understand yet. Still, I think you should buy a soul spirit instead. Even if Douluo Continent has changed nowadays, some things remain unchanged."

"This... Old Long, the more you speak, the more profound you sound. I can barely understand you."

"It's alright. You will understand in the future," Old Long said.

"Oh, right. I have some Creation Power here that I can give you, so that you can use it here."

"Creation Power?"

"That's right. There is now a profession called Forging Master here, so you will have use for it. Later, as you improve with your own abilities, perhaps something even more interesting than Martial Souls will appear."

"Oh, and I should also tell you about your bloodline."

"Bloodline?"

That was right, bloodline. From what Old Long had said earlier, Tang Wu Lin was no ordinary child, while Wu Yang Jin naturally stood even higher than that. His bloodline was also extremely interesting.

"That's right. Your bloodline is very interesting. Do you want to hear about it?"

"Of course I do. Rather, Old Long, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Don't worry, I'll tell you the truth..."

Afterward, Old Long began telling Wu Yang Jin something incomplete, yet correct. Even if he did not know now, he would need to know in the future. Keep going...
