Na'er Awakens, the Silver Dragon Spear, Sun Moon's Kong Yao (Please Follow)

"Brother, the dean is so generous. He directly arranged a top-tier dormitory for us, and it even has such a big garden."

Moonlight streamed like water through the window lattice of century-old trees. The enormous dormitory building covered several thousand square meters, its antique charm fragrant and refreshing. Its simple yet elegant decor was uniquely tasteful, and it was surrounded by lush trees and flowers, utterly different from Ming Capital's modern urban style.

Crystal Soul Guidance lamps cast the interior in dazzling colors. Na'er looked around curiously, her purple eyes shimmering with watery light.

"It's very nice."

Feng Zaixing released his Spiritual Power and swept his surroundings, thinking that Luan Hongchen had truly spared no expense.

The fragrance permeating the villa came from the refined essence of several thousand-year plant-type Soul Beasts. It made it easy to calm one's mind and focus during meditation, and it was greatly beneficial to the body as well.

Considering his large appetite, Luan Hongchen had even arranged for a dedicated meal cart.

"Ming Capital has plenty of admirable qualities. It's far better than Shrek, which exploits student labor."

He nodded inwardly, his thoughts gradually drifting. Shrek... For an academy obsessed with the madness of a defeated side to have survived until today is truly bizarre.

According to Primal Body Sect records, after Huo Gua and Tang God King descended a hundred centuries ago, the remaining forces of the Dou Ling Empire fled overseas and discovered the New Continent. After dealing with the native inhabitants, they occupied it.

Douluo Continent remained peaceful for several centuries before war once again broke out. This time, the Primal Body Sect chose to withdraw and protect itself.

At the time, the Tang Sect, already the Continent's Number One sect, and neutral holy ground Shrek still stood with the Star Luo Empire. Yet they could not withstand the tide of the era and suffered a crushing defeat nonetheless.

Afterward, Shrek and the Tang Sect secretly negotiated with the Sun Moon Empire. In exchange for no longer supporting the Star Luo Empire, persuading the Star Luo Royal Family to leave, and helping soothe public sentiment after the Sun Moon Empire unified the continent, they reached an agreement with the Sun Moon Empire and preserved their own status.

The Star Luo Empire secretly discovered and occupied the New Continent, then took some of its citizens and vast resources overseas. Douluo Continent was unified.

Few people knew of this stretch of history. Shrek and the Tang Sect sought absolute secrecy and worked tirelessly to erase this dark chapter. Records remained only within some ancient Families, sects, and the Federation's core archives.

Afterward, Shrek and the Tang Sect pushed to turn the Sun Moon Empire into a Federation in pursuit of their own power. They also backed councilors from their own factions and fought for Shrek City's independent autonomy, all the way to the present day.

It was worth mentioning that, during the movement to change the empire into a Federation, the Spirit Pagoda had stood with Shrek and the Tang Sect as well.

Among the parliamentary factions, Shrek and the Tang Sect appeared to be neutral, but were actually the Dove Faction.

They took a conservative stance against developing Soul Tools and launching war against the two continents. Yet in secret, they developed powerful armaments themselves, hollowed out the entirety beneath Heaven Dou City, and conducted arms deals among the three continents.

The Spirit Pagoda, on the other hand, was mostly Hawk Faction. It supported developing Soul Guidance Technology, waging war, and unifying Douluo Star.

The two factions shared only one consensus: both wanted to explore space and obtain more resources.

For ten thousand years, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy had always held its breath, determined to surpass Shrek Academy. But after the Federation reforms, the former Continental Advanced Soul Master and Soul Engineer Academy Tournament became the All-Federation Grand Competition. Since Shrek Academy did not participate, there was no chance to compete even if they wanted to.

"Even today, Ming Capital has already been deeply infiltrated by Shrek's factional influence. If they are to be uprooted, a massive purge will be necessary. That cannot be left to Evil Soul Masters..."

Having seen the attitude of the Shrek people, Feng Zaixing knew that he would inevitably clash with Shrek in the future. Even the scale of that conflict would not be within his control.

And he had never considered compromising. When the opportunity came, he would give them something big.

"Brother, Brother, the garden is so beautiful! Let's go outside and take a look."

Na'er's nimble, lark-like voice rang out, pulling Feng Zaixing from his thoughts.

She grabbed Feng Zaixing's arm and shook it, pointing outside at the fireflies drifting through the air, her little face blooming with a sweet, intoxicating smile.

"All right, let's take a look."

A comfortable smile spread across Feng Zaixing's face. Whenever he saw Na'er's smile, his mood always brightened.

Most of the plants and flowers in the garden were rare and precious varieties. The season was perfect, spring in full bloom. Fireflies circled through the air, and the entire garden overflowed with rich fragrance, intoxicating enough to make one forget the night.

Holding her little skirt, Na'er ran joyfully among the flowers like a silver elf. It was impossible to tell whether the flowers were more beautiful, or she was.

Bright moonlight shone upon Feng Zaixing and Na'er, draping both people and flowers in a layer of silver radiance. Na'er's silver hair in particular glittered brilliantly.

At that moment, Feng Zaixing, who had been watching Na'er with a smile, sensed that something was wrong. His eyes narrowed as Spiritual Power far surpassing an ordinary Spirit Sea Realm instantly spread out and gathered around Na'er.

"She's absorbing the moonlight, and her Spiritual Power is rapidly rising... I'd almost forgotten. The Silver Dragon King is the progenitor of silver Soul Beasts. That bloodline can absorb the splendor of moonlight and turn it into elemental power..."

Feng Zaixing could clearly sense the moonlight being refined again and again, transforming into pure energy that merged into Na'er's small body.

If his Spiritual Power had not reached the Spirit Sea Realm and he had not mastered Element Hearts of three elements, it would not have been so easy for him to notice.

Feng Zaixing did not make any rash movements, nor did he call for Mu Ye. He had expected this day long ago; he simply had not expected it to come so soon.

"Could it be that the food here is too good and the energy supply too abundant, causing her to awaken a year early?"

A flash of inspiration crossed Feng Zaixing's mind, and he came up with a reason that left him unsure whether to laugh or cry.

"Forget it. I'll do my best to conceal it."

Feng Zaixing took a glowing pearl from his robes and tossed it into the air. Boundless Spiritual Power instantly enveloped the entire area, as though constructing a completely new Spiritual World.

This was a treasure Han Tianyi had given him. Han Tianyi claimed it could block all Spiritual Power probes. Feng Zaixing did not know whether it could stop the perceptions of certain powerful figures, but it was worth trying.

"I'll give you a hand."

Using Han Tianyi's pearl, Feng Zaixing gathered the moonlight and drew in even more lunar radiance, shining it onto Na'er like beams from silver spotlights.

Under the moonlight, a faint halo soon silently emerged from Na'er's body.

Yellow, green, red, blue, purple, gold, and silver—seven colors flickered in succession.

At once, Na'er's body began trembling faintly. After the seven-colored halo flickered for a while, it started merging into her brow. Only after a long time did she regain her calm.

The moonlight remained, while the soft halo around Na'er receded. Her petite body gradually grew larger.

The trembling vanished, and her breathing became even once more. Yet her brows had unknowingly furrowed, as though she were having an unpleasant dream.

Suddenly, a sharp silver flash appeared in Na'er's palm. A silver spear abruptly materialized in her hand, and her entire body grew several inches taller along with it.

"Brother, I think I've awakened my Martial Soul. Come look! Is Na'er's spear a Martial Soul? It feels like a voice is telling Na'er that it's called the Silver Dragon Spear."

Na'er opened her purple eyes again, joy spilling from the corners of her eyes.

Feng Zaixing stepped forward and carefully examined the Silver Dragon Spear several times before correcting her.

"A Martial Soul is a Martial Soul, but Na'er, the spearhead on your Martial Soul is too long. It should be called a lance."

The Silver Dragon Spear was more than twelve feet long and exceedingly slender. Its narrow shaft was covered in fine silver scales, each hexagonal and remarkably delicate and even.

Only one end of the spear had a spearhead. The spearhead took up roughly a third of the weapon's length, was conical overall, and contained twelve grooves.

The spearhead took up a third of its length. What kind of spear was that?

"Ah, it's almost the same! Na'er has a Martial Soul now too, so Na'er can become a Soul Master in the future!" Na'er said excitedly, her rosy little face filled with delight.

"Mm, Na'er will definitely become an outstanding Soul Master."

Feng Zaixing touched Na'er's forehead and smiled. "Tomorrow, Brother will take Na'er to the Spirit Pagoda. We'll choose the very best Soul Spirit."

"Hehe, Brother is the best. Na'er will never forget Brother." Na'er jumped up happily.

"What kind of thing is that to say..."

Feng Zaixing sighed inwardly. He was not made of wood or stone. After living together day and night for two years, it was impossible for him to have no feelings for her.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger Shivered, surprise written across his face.

"Little Feng, this little sister of yours is extraordinary. She commands even more elements than this king, and her bloodline is so powerful it doesn't seem human. Could she be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form..."

"Huh? A very powerful human just rushed out from underground?"

The Heavenly Sacred Winged Divine Tiger immediately warned Feng Zaixing, "Stop joking around. That thing you threw out attracted someone extremely formidable, stronger than Old Man Mu."

Feng Zaixing's pupils flashed as he immediately recalled the spiritual pearl.

Moments later, an old man silently appeared before Feng Zaixing and Na'er.

He was tall and wore a robe patterned with water, fire, sun, and moon. His eyes were bright, and his facial features faintly showed that he must have been a remarkably handsome man in his youth.

"I heard from that brat Hongchen long ago that our academy had received a young man. It seems his eyesight is poor—there are clearly two geniuses here."

The old man smiled, his eyes reflecting the striking pair of senior and junior disciples.

Feng Zaixing knew the other's identity and stepped forward to offer his respects. "On behalf of Teacher Mu Ye and Teacher Zhen Hua, this junior offers greetings to His Majesty Sun Moon."

"You're also Zhen Hua's student?"

Kong Yao's expression shifted, and the smile on his face grew broader. "What a pleasant surprise. Don't be afraid. Although this old man rarely leaves home, I never eat people."

"I originally thought some old friend had suddenly come to visit. I didn't expect it to be students from our academy."

Kong Yao gazed at the two of them with shining eyes and smiled. "You already have teachers, so this old man will not steal another's disciple. But this little girl behind you greatly interests me. Would you be willing to let her cultivate under this old man?"

"This old man holds some status in this academy and throughout the Federation. With some luck, I may be able to cultivate a Limit Douluo."
