Watching this scene, the old man nodded, a look of relief on his face:
"Good child, to actually awaken such a terrifying martial soul, with an innate spirit ring. This old man has never even heard of such a martial soul!"
"Little Lei, take our eldest grandson up first. There are some matters we still need to deal with."
Chen Lei shot his father a helpless glance, then turned and walked over to Chen Ye.
Chen Ye looked at his father, confusion in his eyes: "Where are we going, Dad? What does this mean?"
"Naturally, to help conceal your aura. Our Chen family has produced a Qilin Child; we must first hide you to prevent others from discovering you prematurely."
A faint smile played on Chen Lei's face as he prepared to take his son into hiding, but Chen Ye shook his head at him.
"Why hide, Father?"
"Talent is meant to be displayed. If it's not shown, how will others know the gap between them and me?"
Chen Ye's gaze was calm, while Chen Lei's eyes carried a hint of resignation:
"Don't take these people for good men. If they discover your talent, they'll do everything in their power to assassinate you."
"Meet force with force, stem the tide with strategy."
"Father, whether it's the Four Great Organizations or the powerful organizations recorded in history, none of them grew strong by hiding."
"I could lie low and develop slowly, but that would only limit my growth."
At this stage, hiding was the best choice. It would both protect him and give him a complete space to grow.
But Chen Ye didn't want to hide. Having talent and strength was his own doing; he didn't feel the need to conceal himself.
Moreover, the Chen family's power was plain to see—they were far from weak here.
In fact, it could be said that within the entire East Sea Province, the Chen family was the most formidable existence.
Hearing his son's words, Chen Lei scratched his head. Though hesitation lingered on his face, he still flew up.
The distant old man sighed and made no further attempt to stop his grandson.
At the same time, several auras rapidly approached from all directions. The fastest to arrive was a middle-aged man.
He wore a major general's military uniform, his gaze fixed on the Chen family with a hint of confusion.
"Senior Chen Gang, this junior, East Sea Military District Major General, has come to pay a visit."
"Old Chen, what happened here? I saw that phenomenon clearly." As the middle-aged man's words fell, another voice rang out from the side.
It was an old man, approaching from another direction in Eastsea City, a gentle smile on his face.
The Great Elder in midair first glanced at his son and grandson, then turned his head toward the old man.
"Old Man Xu, this is my grandson awakening his Second Martial Soul, causing such an anomaly."
"Second Martial Soul?" The old man's tone carried surprise as his gaze fell on the young man standing quietly.
The youth was not old, but his brows and eyes held a certain steadiness.
His features were extraordinary, bearing the sharp, distinctive look unique to the Chen family.
Even at such a young age, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, he was already remarkably striking.
But what shocked the old man most was not that—it was the Bright Golden spirit ring on the youth and the dragon claw on his Left Hand.
An ordinary person wouldn't notice, but as a fellow Title Douluo, he could clearly sense the terrifying blood energy and sharp power contained within that dragon claw.
"This golden spirit ring is an innate spirit ring? Such a powerful martial soul! No wonder it could trigger such a phenomenon!"
"An innate spirit ring—this old man has lived so long and never heard of such a thing."
A trace of envy flickered across the old man's face, but within that envy was more complexity.
The Chen family producing such a terrifying genius meant that for the next hundred years, the Chen family would likely remain prosperous.
And while the younger generation of his Xu family was decent, neither his eldest grandson nor his youngest granddaughter could compare to the youth before him.
But thinking of the Marriage Contract between the boy and his granddaughter, the old man let out a long breath.
The middle-aged man in military uniform standing nearby fell silent at these words as well.
The Great Elder's gaze swept the surroundings. Several figures approached slowly, and then, in the next instant, a terrifying power surged forth.
Two yellow, four purple, three black—nine spirit rings descended abruptly. The Great Elder unfurled a golden scroll in his hand, and the terrifying aura emanating from it spread outward.
The presence of a Super Douluo radiated, and the few figures still approaching suddenly halted.
After giving slight bows, they slunk away in disgrace.
At this point, aside from the Old Patriarch of Xu Family and the middle-aged man in military uniform, only one woman remained.
The woman was strikingly beautiful, with a curvaceous figure, a fiery body, and bright, bold features that gave her the look of a radiant beauty.
But the indifferent expression on her face transformed that aura into something more like a cold beauty.
As the woman appeared, the three men all turned their gazes toward her.
"We pay our respects to Sky Phoenix Douluo."
"We greet Your Excellency Sky Phoenix Douluo."
The Great Elder and Old Xu looked at the woman, their tones carrying a measure of courtesy, but the Middle-aged Man in Military Uniform remained silent.
A Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, and an Extreme Douluo at that—her status was not to be underestimated.
Yet the woman's gaze did not fall on them. She lowered her eyes to the Young Man standing quietly there.
"Would you be willing to take me as your master, become my disciple, and join my Spirit Pagoda?"
The woman's voice was soft, but her tone carried a rare trace of warmth.
She had naturally seen the anomaly. Such top-tier talent was hard to find even within the Spirit Pagoda.
Chen Ye glanced at Leng Yaozhu, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After all, she was an Extreme Douluo and a Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, holding a sufficiently high position within the organization.
Following her, he would certainly not suffer. Moreover, compared to Shrek, where he would have to feign cooperation, the Spirit Pagoda was far more pragmatic.
He had never denied that he was not a good person.
"I am willing to join the Spirit Pagoda. Your student pays respects to the teacher." Chen Ye bowed respectfully.
Then, with great solemnity, he picked up a cup of tea from the side and slowly handed it to Leng Yaozhu.
The woman looked down at him, silently set her feet on the ground, and reached out to take the tea.
But the moment their fingers touched...
In Chen Ye's mind, the Chronospace Diary flipped open, revealing new content.
[Add Leng Yaozhu to the second Chronospace Diary distribution? After the Host reaches Two Rings, the second Chronospace Diary distribution can be initiated.] [The second Chronospace Diary distribution has five slots. These five individuals must have been contacted or seen by the Host before they can be added to the distribution list.]
