At those words, Li Jinsheng fell into self-doubt.
How did that analysis actually sound so reasonable?
Could I possibly like Gu Yue?
He looked up. In the distance, the girl was trudging through the shallows in frustration. Sunlight streamed through the tips of her hair, gilding her with a halo of gold.
"Impossible... absolutely impossible!" the boy repeated loudly. There was absolutely no way!
Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's lips curled into a smug smile.
Just then, a string of beeps sounded as Leng Yaozhu's Soul Guide Communicator suddenly rang. Its screen lit up, displaying the flashing name: Qian Gu Dongfeng.
She let out a long sigh and tapped the screen with her fingertip, her eyes filled with disdain.
The call connected, and Qian Gu Dongfeng's voice came from the other end. It was low and steady, yet carried an oppressive force that brooked no refusal. "Tian Feng, what is going on with those two External Soul Bones at the East Sea Spirit Ascension Platform?!"
"What, do you have a problem with that?" Leng Yaozhu's voice immediately turned icy, and an aura that kept others at arm's length rippled out around her.
"No... no! Is there anything else you need..."
Qian Gu Dongfeng hurriedly said. As Leng Yaozhu's longtime simp, whether in matters of emotion or profit, he had long been a devoted simp. After all, he had his eye on the Leng Family's enormous fortune.
How could he dare to object?
As long as no outstanding late bloomer emerged among the Leng Family's younger generation, the Leng Family's decline would be inevitable.
Yet Leng Yaozhu's recently accepted disciple and adopted child had become a real headache.
One was a black-haired elementalist, while the other was a sharp-tongued, ruthless black-haired boy. Their talents were dazzlingly high.
Especially Li Jinsheng—his mouth showed no discrimination. He even dared to talk back to him, the Tower Master.
He said I was physically disabled but strong-willed. He said I had looked like this since birth, how pitiful!
And Leng Yaozhu still defended him so fiercely.
What do you mean, he's just a child! He's only telling the truth! Why are you getting angry!
That brat needs a lesson!
On the other end of the communicator, Qian Gu Dongfeng narrowed his eyes. A Cold Gleam flashed through them before swiftly disappearing.
"If there's nothing else, then shut up!" Leng Yaozhu raised a finger and lightly tapped the end-call button. The screen immediately went dark.
She tossed the communicator into her bag and said to Li Jinsheng, "What are you standing around for? Keep applying the sunscreen."
"Oh, oh, oh..."
Li Jinsheng snapped back to his senses and continued applying sunscreen.
Leng Yaozhu did not think much of the Qian Gu Family either, especially since Qian Gu Dongfeng pursued her.
For nearly a hundred years, the Spirit Pagoda had stood alone at the top. There had been countless cases of lining their own pockets and opening back doors for their family's younger generation.
Especially Qiangu Zhangting. With talent like his, how many Qian Gu Family resources had he relied on to reach that level? Without those resources, with that temperament of his, which genius could he possibly compare to?
If the same resources had been given to other geniuses, they might not have been weaker than Qiangu Zhangting.
Of course, if those resources were given to Li Jinsheng, he would show them what true Battle Heaven Battle Earth meant!
Meanwhile, at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, inside the Tower Master's office.
A middle-aged man stood before the floor-to-ceiling window. He was tall and handsome, exuding an overwhelming pressure. The Soul Guide Communicator in his palm trembled slightly before shattering directly into fragments.
She ended the call again. She ended the call on him again!
In the past, he had pursued Leng Yaozhu for many years without getting what he wanted, and had eventually been forced to marry and have children to continue the family bloodline.
It was all that damned Yun Ming's fault.
He truly deserved to die!
Now that his wife had long since passed away, Qian Gu Dongfeng had once again entertained the thought of pursuing Leng Yaozhu. Yet things still did not go as he wished.
Yun Ming was still in her heart. Her heart was filled entirely with Yun Ming.
Why! Why!
Why did Yun Ming deserve to be liked by so many girls?
What a pile of vexing troubles! Especially Li Jinsheng—he had all the makings of an old acquaintance!
"Grandfather, calm down..."
A tall figure said cautiously.
"Grandfather is fine..."
Only upon seeing his grandson, Qiangu Zhangting, did Qian Gu Dongfeng feel somewhat better.
This was the Qian Gu Family's most outstanding successor, as well as the next Spirit Pagoda Tower Master Qian Gu Dongfeng was grooming with all his might.
Patting his grandson on the shoulder, Qian Gu Dongfeng finally said, "Those two External Soul Bones were probably given to those two little ones by Leng Yaozhu. Fortunately, they aren't high-year External Soul Bones."
"It doesn't matter, Grandfather. They're just two little brats. That black-haired girl is fairly mature, but that boy is nothing but mischievous. One look is enough to tell he won't amount to much." Qiangu Zhangting tried hard to recall Li Jinsheng, then added, "That guy also seems to be left-handed! When he shook hands with me, he used his left hand."
But Li Jinsheng had used his left hand to shake hands for an entirely different purpose. The power of life could infiltrate everywhere.
"Don't underestimate those two. They may be children, but as the future Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, you cannot be weaker than others."
"Yes, Grandpa!"
As the sun set, Leng Yaozhu looked at the pile of shattered Gu Yue sand sculptures on the beach and truly wanted to know what was going through Li Jinsheng's mind.
He had actually used half of his Second Soul Skill to sculpt people!
But in truth, Li Jinsheng did not have the ability to sculpt her properly. He had not even finished analyzing the Silver Dragon King's power.
If you said he did not like Gu Yue, the figure he sculpted looked almost exactly like her. If you said he liked her, he had smashed every last one of them!
Her gaze fell upon the Third Soul Ring beneath Li Jinsheng's feet, and she could not help asking, "Jinsheng, what is your Third Soul Skill?"
To be honest, Leng Yaozhu was clearly a little nervous about the answer. Surely it would not be another ridiculously overpowered Soul Skill like his Second Soul Ring's ability, would it?
Li Jinsheng smiled calmly. "Aunt Leng, this Soul Skill is more focused on the body itself!"
The Third Soul Ring beneath his feet did not flash at all, yet his Third Soul Skill had already been activated. Two brand-new pairs of arms instantly grew from his back. "I can control every organ in my body. I can even grow entirely new organs! Complete control over my own body!"
Watching Li Jinsheng evolve from one head and two arms into one head and six arms, Leng Yaozhu fell silent. Gu Yue, who was taking selfies in the distance, saw this scene and could not imagine just how insane Li Jinsheng was. Being able to grow entirely new organs meant that he could already regenerate severed limbs.
The red-haired woman tried hard to calm herself. This Life Element Martial Soul truly suited the concept of life perfectly, but this Third Soul Skill seemed even more suited to the Body Martial Soul.
The body itself!
Could it be that Han Tianyi's speculation was correct? That this Life Element Martial Soul was formed from Li Jinsheng's very life origin?
Then what had it meant when he used the Life Element to alter its form and turn into a shield to block attacks whenever he pleased? Was he turning his own life into an indestructible shield?
"Jinsheng, when your Soul Power is depleted, do you feel a weakness in your life force?" Leng Yaozhu asked worriedly.
"No! When my Soul Power is depleted, I feel even more excited!"
Li Jinsheng told the truth. Every time his Soul Power ran dry, he became incomparably exhilarated, as though something within him were about to gush forth like a spring.
He had not known before, but now he knew it was the Destruction Attribute.
He suddenly remembered something and said to Leng Yaozhu, "Aunt Leng, Phantom Brain asked me to make a trip to the Blacksmith Association in Heaven Dou City on his behalf, to find a chef."
Leng Yaozhu's expression darkened. Find Mu Ye? The current Sect Master of the Body Sect? Did Li Jinsheng really have a Body Martial Soul?
Her red lips pressed together before she spoke. "..."
