Jellyfish Glue Freedom, Heart Separation Control, Ring Fusion, Dragonification

Nuoding City.

Nuoding Junior Academy.

Today was bustling with activity—it was the annual recruitment day.

Xiao Wu, who had just turned Six Years Old, was hopping along the academy paths.

Her long hair was tied into a Scorpion Braid, and her eyes were big and bright. She looked like nothing more than an ordinary lively, adorable little girl.

But only she knew that she was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a transformed Soft Bone Rabbit.

She had infiltrated the Human World to grow quickly and one day avenge her Mom.

That was why she had chosen a remote place like Nuoding City, starting out quietly and discreetly.

"Work-Study Student Dormitory Seven... this should be it."

Xiao Wu pushed open the dormitory door. Several boys inside were gathered together, talking.

Hearing the sound.

A boy named Wang Sheng turned around and froze for a moment.

"Huh? Why's there a girl here?"

The moment Xiao Wu heard that, her little brows shot up.

"What's wrong with girls? Girls can't live in the Work-Study Student dormitory?"

She put her hands on her hips, her crisp voice filled with obvious displeasure.

Wang Sheng scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "It's not that you can't live here... it's just that we have a rule. Newcomers have to acknowledge a boss."

He pointed at a handsome boy in plain clothes beside him.

"There, his name is Tang San. He's Dorm Seven's boss right now. If you want to stay here, you'll have to listen to him from now on."

Xiao Wu blinked, her gaze settling on the boy called Tang San.

Tang San?

Why did that name... sound a little familiar?

She suddenly remembered the dream she had been having every night lately.

In the dream, there was always an especially cute little girl who looked a lot like her, calling her Mom in a fragrant and soft voice.

That child had also said, "Mom, be careful of someone named Tang San. He's dangerous..."

When Xiao Wu woke up back then, she had found it utterly baffling.

She had never even dated before. Where had a Daughter come from?

And who was Tang San? She did not know him at all.

Yet now, that name had appeared right before her.

An inexplicable sense of vigilance surged up within Xiao Wu.

She narrowed her eyes and looked Tang San up and down.

Lean, quiet, with steady eyes—but for some reason, the longer she looked at him... the more irritating he became!

"Humph!"

Xiao Wu flicked her braid and raised her Small Face.

"I'm not acknowledging anyone else as boss. If there's going to be a boss, it'll be me!"

She lifted a little hand and pointed at Tang San, her voice clear and bright.

"You, Tang San, right? Fight me! Whoever wins gets to be boss!"

Whoever Tang San was, she did not like the sight of him. She would beat him up first and talk later!

Tang San froze for a moment. Before he could say anything, Xiao Wu had already charged at him.

She moved as fast as a gust of wind!

The scene shifted.

A full week had passed since the three little girls came to Lin Qing's side.

Lin Qing had not been idle during that week.

First, he sold all the Soul Bones that had been cleansed and separated from the ones in his possession at the auction house, exchanging them for quite a few Gold Soul Coins.

Then he scoured the auction houses and herb shops throughout Suotuo City. He even used connections to collect some Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber, and all kinds of herbs that strengthened the foundation and replenished vitality from other cities.

It was all to lay a solid foundation for Wu'er, Qing Zhu, and Rou Rou.

It had to be said that while Whale Rubber was mainly treated as an aphrodisiac in this era, anything of a thousand years or above was truly hard to find.

Fortunately, Lin Qing had a cheat.

Whenever he used Whale Rubber on his Daughters, the Prompt Sound rang out right on schedule:

[Ding! Tenfold return triggered. Obtained "Thousand-Year Whale Rubber" ×30!]

[Ding! Tenfold return triggered. Obtained "Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Rubber" ×10!]

After several rounds, Lin Qing looked at the mountain of Whale Rubber piled up in the System Space and nearly burst with joy.

"Now this is true Jellyfish Glue Freedom."

The three little girls' physical qualities improved at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In terms of physique alone, they were now already comparable to ordinary Soul Elders.

"Since Tang San's Daughter Wang Dong could absorb a thousand-year First Soul Ring, why can't my Daughters?"

Lin Qing stroked his chin as he calculated inwardly.

"They have to be even better!"

Over the past few days, he had also tried to get some useful information from the children.

For example, one night, while combing Rou Rou's hair, he asked, "Rou Rou, how did you cross over here back then? Were there any other Sisters... or Mom?"

He thought that since he already had three different wives, there might well be a fourth or fifth.

The answer, however, was somewhat unexpected.

Rou Rou shook her little head, making her pink hair sway along with it.

"Dad, I don't really know how I crossed over either. A lot of things are blurry, and it feels like my head hurts whenever I try to think about them."

She furrowed her little brows, looking especially earnest as she tried to remember.

"I only remember that I had to find Dad, and there were some important things Mom told me to do. I can't remember anything else."

Lin Wu'er, who was gnawing on a carrot nearby, also raised her head. Her cheeks were puffed out as she mumbled, "Wu'er too! My head gets all dizzy whenever I think about it!"

Lin Qingzhu said nothing, merely nodding softly.

Lin Qing fell into thought.

"Could it be a memory seal caused by traveling through time? Some kind of self-protection mechanism of Douluo Planet?"

Of course, it was also possible that someone from the future had done it.

It seemed there was no hope of obtaining complete intelligence from the children.

Still, there were surprises.

"Oh, right, Dad!"

Rou Rou's eyes suddenly lit up as though she had remembered something important.

"Mom told me to teach you the techniques of 'Heart Separation Control' and 'Ring Fusion.' She said both of them are really important!"

Lin Qing was stunned.

"Heart Separation Control? Isn't that the secret Cultivation Technique of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

He remembered it clearly.

It was a technique specially developed by Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters to solve the problem of excessive Soul Power consumption.

Its core was controlling multiple Soul Skills simultaneously and applying them precisely to different targets.

It had five realms in total, from the "Three Apertures Imperial Heart" to the highest level, the "Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart."

As for Ring Fusion, it was more like an innate ability. It could instantly fuse the Soul Power of multiple Soul Rings into a higher-year Soul Ring to unleash a Soul Skill, increasing that Soul Skill's power.

Apparently, it was not something just anyone could learn.

"Mom said these are both versions Dad improved later."

Rou Rou patted her little chest, her face full of confidence that said, "Leave it to me."

"So I'll definitely be able to teach Dad."

At that moment, the quiet Lin Qingzhu also spoke softly. "Mom also told me to teach Dad 'Dragonification.'"

"Dragonification?!"

Lin Qing was startled again.

Was that not the signature secret art of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?

The Dragon Transformation Secret Art that required absorbing sub-dragon-type Soul Rings to activate.

It could transform parts of the body into those of a dragon. The power of Soul Skills unleashed through it was several times that of Martial Soul Possession, and it could even rival a localized Martial Soul Avatar.

But Qing Zhu did not even have a Soul Ring, much less forty levels. She knew Dragonification?

Lin Qing looked suspiciously at his little Daughter. "This... was also something I modified?"

Lin Qingzhu did not answer. She simply silently extended her little hand.

The next second.

Fine black Dragon Scales emerged over the skin of her arm, while her fingers subtly transformed, taking on the outline of feline-like Sharp Claws.

Though still immature, those were undeniably traits of Dragonification.

"..."

Lin Qing fell silent for several seconds, screaming inwardly, What the hell did future me accomplish?!

He had even gotten hold of another sect's secret supreme art and casually modified it?

"Damn."

Unable to help himself, he gave a thumbs-up inwardly.

So not only was the system a cheat, but even his Daughters had come to deliver cheats.

The Golden Dragon was responsible for ultimate strength, the Silver Dragon controlled the Nine Great Elements, and now there was Dragonification, Heart Separation Control, and Ring Fusion... wasn't this lineup a little too luxurious?

"Then I'll have to trouble Teachers Rou Rou and Qing Zhu."

Lin Qing smiled and rubbed the little heads of his two Daughters.

Lin Wu'er, standing to the side, suddenly lowered her head. Her little hands clutched the hem of her clothes, and her voice was muffled.

"I'm sorry, Dad... Wu'er's Eight Section Kick isn't suitable for Dad. There's nothing I can help with..."

The little girl's ears drooped, making her look pitifully miserable.

Lin Qing hurriedly crouched down and cupped her Small Face.

"Who said that? Wu'er is Dad's most important cheer captain!"

His tone was especially serious.

"With Wu'er cheering for me, it's like having a hundred people supporting me from behind!"

"Really?"

Lin Wu'er's eyes lit up at once, and her ears perked right back up.

"Mm-hm."

"Then... then Wu'er will cheer for Dad every day! I'll fill you up with lots and lots of fuel!"

The little girl immediately perked up again, waving her tiny fist with all her strength.

Lin Qing let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that taking care of every child's emotions without playing favorites was a field of study in itself.

He had to prioritize both his Daughters' physical health and mental well-being.

Several more days passed.

Lin Qing took the three little girls around Qingtian Academy a few times.

Everyone in the academy knew that the dean had suddenly gained three six-year-old Daughters.

Though many uninformed students wondered inwardly—how had the dean suddenly become younger, and where had these Daughters come from?—none of them dared ask.

After all, why would the dean's private affairs be any of their concern?

Several sharp-witted teachers who knew the truth had already begun finding ways to send snacks and toys to the three "young misses."

The dean was a Titled Douluo!

His Daughters would be the academy's little princesses in the future. If they did not curry favor now, when would they?

Besides, the three little girls were truly adorable. Everyone loved them, and flowers bloomed at their sight.

And now that the three Daughters had more or less finished building their foundation, it was time to prepare for them to absorb their First Soul Rings.

Before that, however, he had to solve his own problem first.

His Soul Rings were still empty.

Such a high starting point, combined with Twin Martial Souls, gave him extremely high requirements for Soul Rings—they had to surpass conventional limits.

For that reason, he had specifically asked Wu'er for some special information.

After getting a clear answer, Lin Qing had a target in mind, but he frowned.

This trip's destination was a little too dangerous.

If he took the three children with him and something happened, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

After weighing it over, he summoned a trustworthy female Soul Emperor teacher from the academy.

"Teacher Zhou, please help look after them for a few days."

Lin Qing entrusted the three little girls to her, crouching down to patiently remind them.

"Dad is going to find something good for you. I'll be back soon. You have to listen to Teacher Zhou, okay?"

"How long will Dad be gone?"

Lin Wu'er tugged on his sleeve and asked eagerly.

"At the shortest, ten days to half a month. At the longest, more than a month."

Lin Qing stroked her head. "But Dad promises to come back as soon as possible."

Lin Rourou leaned closer, her Small Face serious. "Dad, be careful!"

Lin Qingzhu said nothing. She only gently hugged his leg.

After making all the arrangements, Lin Qing left the academy alone.

His destination—

The deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
