Displaying Their Martial Souls, Receiving Great Attention

The elevator doors opened, and the first thing Chen An saw was a corridor stretching over a hundred meters long.

On both sides of the corridor were rooms of unknown size, along with several other hallways branching off.

Beside each door was a plaque indicating the room number. Most of them were teachers' offices.

The middle-aged man stepped out of the elevator first, with Chen An and Gu Yue Na following behind him.

After walking barely a dozen meters, they turned left into another corridor.

They encountered several teachers along the way, and the middle-aged man greeted each of them.

At last, the three arrived at an office at the very end of the corridor.

Chen An looked up at the plaque. It read: Admissions Office.

"Knock, knock, knock." The middle-aged man knocked three times, and a voice from inside told them to come in.

Only then did the middle-aged man open the door and enter. Chen An and Gu Yue Na followed him in without saying a word.

The office covered more than a hundred square meters and was fairly simple in design.

There was only a reception sofa, an exquisite glass table, and a high-end tea set placed atop it.

On the other side stood a desk, with several metal cabinets on either side, all of them tightly locked.

The only person in the office was an elderly man seated in an office chair, reading through documents.

When he saw the middle-aged man enter, he looked over at him and naturally noticed Chen An and Gu Yue Na following behind.

"Director Xu," the middle-aged man greeted respectfully, clearly holding the old man in high regard.

The elderly man known as Director Xu nodded slightly and looked at the middle-aged man questioningly.

"These two children are here to register for special admission. According to them, their Martial Souls are true dragons."

The middle-aged man turned slightly and introduced Chen An and Gu Yue Na.

"Oh?" Director Xu showed surprise, and the expressions in his eyes changed as he looked at them.

He slowly rose to his feet and walked toward Chen An and Gu Yue Na with a gentle smile.

Making himself appear as approachable as possible, he said slowly, "Could you release your Martial Souls and let me take a look?"

Chen An and Gu Yue Na exchanged a glance, then both took several steps back.

The middle-aged man and Director Xu also stepped back slightly, keeping a certain distance.

They stared intently at the two, their expressions filled with excitement and anticipation.

Energy fluctuations emerged from Chen An and Gu Yue Na at the same time, their auras completely different.

Gu Yue Na's aura was closer to nature, rich with elemental energy.

Chen An's, meanwhile, was shrouded in deathly aura, causing even the air around him to grow cold.

It was a bone-chilling cold, like stepping into a mass grave on a windy night.

That eerie chill was even more uncomfortable than ordinary low temperatures, instinctively making one recoil from it.

Energy representing the attributes of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Light, Darkness, and space drifted forth.

Seven-colored energy gradually condensed into the phantom of a giant dragon behind Gu Yue Na.

The giant dragon was silver overall, yet it radiated a seven-colored glow, making it especially strange and extraordinary.

The instant the dragon took shape, an immensely powerful pressure spread outward.

The moment they sensed the aura of that Martial Soul, the middle-aged man and Director Xu's expressions changed.

The energy within their bodies became somewhat restless. This was caused by their Martial Souls being suppressed.

Both of their Martial Souls were Beast Souls, and Director Xu's was even a dragon-type Martial Soul, so it was only natural for him to be suppressed.

The Silver Dragon Queen also had a suppressive effect on ordinary Beast Souls, though it was not as strong as its effect on dragon-type Martial Souls.

"What a powerful true dragon!" Director Xu was utterly shocked. His heart trembled as his bloodline was severely suppressed.

He stared without blinking at the giant dragon behind Gu Yue Na, trying to identify what dragon clan it belonged to.

Unfortunately, he did not recognize it. He had little memory of such a dragon clan.

This left him puzzled. Could there really be a dragon clan that even he did not know about?

Very soon, Director Xu and the middle-aged man's attention was drawn to Chen An.

The two immediately frowned, shocked and confused.

No Martial Soul phantom appeared behind Chen An, but dragon scales covered his entire body.

A draconic pressure no weaker than Gu Yue Na's spread from him.

It stood in opposition to Gu Yue Na's dragon aura, matching it without falling behind.

"Why hasn't your Martial Soul phantom appeared?" Director Xu could not help asking.

Normally, when Beast Soul masters released their Martial Souls, a phantom of the Martial Soul would appear behind them.

Even weapon Martial Soul masters would have a phantom manifest when they released their Martial Souls.

Usually, the only case where no phantom image appeared was a Body Spirit.

But he had never heard of anyone whose Body Spirit was a dragon.

"My martial soul mutated. Its nature is somewhat similar to a Body Spirit," Chen An explained.

This was the excuse he had prepared in advance, to make his martial soul situation seem as reasonable as possible.

Director Xu seemed somewhat enlightened. He understood mutations quite well.

After all, his own martial soul had mutated, changing from the original sun into a Beast Soul.

The sun should have been classified as a Tool Soul, yet it had directly mutated into a Beast Soul.

Since such a drastic change could happen, the other party's martial soul mutation was not too difficult to accept.

"Level eleven soul power, level twelve soul power?" Director Xu's expression turned somewhat strange.

As the two released their martial souls, their soul power fluctuations also became clear.

Given Director Xu's strength, he naturally sensed their Soul Power Levels.

Gu Yue Na's level twelve soul power was fairly normal. After all, she looked only a little over eight years old.

But Chen An's was far too low. He was already twelve or thirteen.

At that age, with that martial soul, he only had level eleven soul power?

"My situation is somewhat special. I failed to awaken when I was six."

"I only awakened by accident a few days ago. That was also when I first gained soul power."

Chen An explained, having no intention of claiming that he had awakened at six but progressed slowly for some reason.

Even if they believed that lie, it would do him more harm than good.

If you had progressed so slowly before, there was no guarantee you would become faster in the future.

Their regard for him would surely plummet off a cliff.

He had come to Sun Moon Royal Academy because he wanted to gain attention, then use the academy's resources to enter the military.

If he was not valued at all, how could he accomplish his goal?

"There's actually such a situation? Would it be convenient to explain in detail?" Director Xu asked curiously.

"Perhaps it has something to do with my martial soul's attribute—the Death Attribute."

"I nearly died in an accident, and that was when my martial soul suddenly awakened."

"Perhaps the condition for my martial soul to awaken is being on the verge of death."

"Since I had never been close to death before, it was difficult for it to awaken normally," Chen An explained.

"Your martial soul is rather unusual." Director Xu found it increasingly strange.

At the same time, he became wary. Chen An's circumstances reminded him of certain Evil Soul Masters.

It was said that some Evil Soul Masters needed special conditions to trigger their martial souls and reveal their power.

For example, death. Some Evil Soul Masters became stronger after dying once.

Director Xu looked Chen An up and down. Seeing no sinister aura around him, he relaxed slightly.

Although his draconic aura is filled with coldness and deathly stillness, it carries no evil intent.

It is simply a pure Death Attribute. That makes it unlikely that he is an Evil Soul Master.

Director Xu thought to himself. He had dealt with Evil Soul Masters before and knew a fair amount about them.

He did not sense any traits on Chen An that resembled those of an Evil Soul Master.
