Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin finally saw clearly that what had appeared before them was a gigantic dragon!
The dragon roared and charged into Ye Yuan's body.
"Bang!"
A black colossal dragon appeared beside Ye Yuan's Bloodthirsty Sword martial soul.
The aura around his entire body surged once more!
Ning Fengzhi estimated that Ye Yuan's current strength could already rival that of a level-fifty Soul Master!
In other words, Ye Yuan now possessed the strength to kill enemies twenty levels above him!
What kind of monster was this?!
Chen Xin cried out in shock, "Twin Martial Souls!"
"Could this martial soul be the legendary Candle Dragon Emperor?!"
Ning Fengzhi turned and asked, "Candle Dragon Emperor?"
Chen Xin slowly said, "Legend has it that when Douluo Continent had just been born, several strange creatures brought about an age of chaos, and the world's living beings slaughtered one another without end."
"All life on the continent faced utter annihilation."
"Then, the Candle Dragon Emperor from the God Realm resolved that crisis."
"He used supreme means to defeat the powerful, bizarre soul beasts that had sparked the chaos, bringing that turbulent era to an end."
"There are extremely few records concerning the Candle Dragon Emperor."
"I saw in several ancient texts that the Candle Dragon Emperor was entirely black and had a pair of golden eyes."
"I had thought it was merely a legend, but now it seemed it might be true."
Twin Martial Souls were exceedingly rare on Douluo Continent.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin withdrew the Soul Power pressure they had placed on Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan felt as though a tremendous burden had been lifted, yet he still cupped his hands toward Ning Fengzhi. "Thank you for your help, Seniors."
"If it had not been for your assistance, I would not have fused with my second martial soul so easily."
Seeing Ye Yuan give them an out, Ning Fengzhi went along with it. "Hahaha, truly, heroes emerge in their youth!"
"I never expected that, in my lifetime, I would encounter such a heaven-blessed genius!"
Ye Yuan merely smiled and let it pass. He really was thick-skinned.
"Someone, bring tea!" Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin had now fully acknowledged Ye Yuan's strength.
The reason for this was entirely Ning Rongrong.
After all, no matter how foolish they were, they could tell that their little princess had completely fallen for Ye Yuan.
Therefore, they had to investigate Ye Yuan's strength and talent.
As the next sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong's husband had to be a powerful battle-type Soul Master.
Otherwise, he would not be able to protect the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Let us speak frankly. Little Ye, what brings you here today?"
Ye Yuan said, "Senior Ning, please look at this first." He took out a book.
Ning Fengzhi did not understand, but he accepted the book. It was handwritten and filled with densely packed diagrams and words.
Ning Fengzhi took only one glance before closing it.
"Where did this book come from?!" His tone carried a hint of astonishment.
The hand holding the book trembled slightly.
"I wrote it. The Soul Tools in the Star Luo Empire were all products of my earlier research."
Ning Fengzhi could hardly believe it. Did such a person truly exist in this world?
It would have been one thing if Ye Yuan were merely powerful and talented, but he had never expected him to possess such accomplishments in Soul Tools as well!
Not long ago, Ning Fengzhi had visited the Star Luo Empire. The development of Soul Tools there had left him utterly amazed.
An ordinary soldier could actually rely on a Soul Tool to fight a Soul Master in their twenties on even footing, and could even gain some advantage.
At the time, Ning Fengzhi had been unable to understand it. How had the Star Luo Empire suddenly created such things?
Only after sending people to investigate did he learn that those Soul Tools had been researched and invented by a Royal Knight Commander.
But the emperor of the Star Luo Empire had abolished that man's martial soul and stripped away his soul rings. Afterward, the man had vanished without a trace.
He had never imagined that the young man before him was that very person.
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"In my view, that old emperor of the Star Luo Empire must be blind to have abandoned a genius like you!"
"He truly is a muddleheaded old fool!"
Ye Yuan silently apologized to Tang San in his heart.
He wanted to see just how laughable it would be when he beat Tang San to a partnership with Ning Fengzhi, and Tang San later came to Ning Fengzhi with those hidden weapons.
The Tang Sect's hidden weapons were ultimately creations from another world. The Soul Tools he had made were countless times stronger.
"Little brother, name your price. To be honest, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect desperately needs this."
Ye Yuan slowly said, "Senior Ning, if I told you that this was only a fraction of the knowledge in my mind, would you believe me?"
Ning Fengzhi's pupils suddenly contracted. Could the Soul Tools in this book be only a portion of it?
If Ye Yuan continued researching, it would be an earth-shattering upheaval for the world of Soul Masters!
It might even completely alter the balance of the continent!
And if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could be the first to master this, they could reduce their reliance on battle-type Soul Masters in the future.
To them, it was nothing less than a priceless treasure!
"Brother Ye, state your terms."
Ye Yuan rose to his feet and slowly stepped closer. "Senior Ning, would you be willing to join Spirit Hall?"
"Spirit Hall?!" Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were both stunned. They had not expected this peerless genius before them to be from Spirit Hall!
"I, Ye Yuan, can guarantee that as long as your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joins Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall will grant the sect protection."
"The two great empires have long since decayed beyond repair. The nobles hold all the power, the common people suffer, and the imperial families rule unilaterally."
"Meanwhile, Spirit Hall's strength has gradually become comparable to that of the two great empires. Surpassing them is only a matter of time."
"So, Senior Ning, give me your answer."
Ning Fengzhi found himself growing increasingly interested in this young man.
Twin Martial Souls, one of which was the legendary Candle Dragon Emperor.
His first soul ring had been a thousand-year soul ring, while his third was actually a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
At such a young age, he could kill someone twenty levels above him.
And he was also a member of Spirit Hall.
"May I know your status within Spirit Hall?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Qian Renxue is my teacher," Ye Yuan replied.
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were both taken aback. They had not expected him to be that person's disciple.
They were no longer surprised by Ye Yuan's abilities. After all, Qian Renxue herself was a genius among geniuses.
It was hardly strange for her to cultivate such a disciple.
"How about this? I will give you an answer in three days?" This was an important matter, and he needed to discuss it with the elders of the sect.
Ye Yuan let out a sigh of relief. Judging by Ning Fengzhi's attitude, this matter was practically settled.
After all, the talent and sincerity he had displayed were already enough to make this sect master choose a new side.
"Fine. Consider this book a token of Spirit Hall's sincerity."
After saying that, he turned to leave, only for Ning Fengzhi to grab him. "Little Ye, this is the black card of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. As long as you are within the Heaven Dou Empire, you may spend freely."
"When you have time, take Rongrong out more often. That child has always stayed in the sect; she is missing out on too much."
Ye Yuan nodded and accepted it.
Chen Xin slowly walked over at this point. His gaze was no longer as sharp as before, but carried the affection of an elder looking upon a junior.
What Ye Yuan did not know was that, in Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi's eyes, he was now Ning Rongrong's perfect husband.
"Rongrong told me about you."
"Every sword cultivator's sword is different. Some wield swords of slaughter, some swords of protection, and some swords of hatred."
"You need to comprehend your own sword yourself. If I guide you, I will only affect your own path of the sword."
It was not that Chen Xin did not wish to teach him. If Ye Yuan had possessed even a little talent, Chen Xin would not have been stingy about teaching him something.
But the talent and strength Ye Yuan had displayed proved that his future achievements would certainly not be low.
Chen Xin's forced interference would only hinder his future development.
Ye Yuan bowed to Chen Xin. "I have learned much." Then he turned and left.
After he had completely departed.
"It seems this continent will belong to that young man in the future. With him in Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall will certainly stand at the pinnacle of the continent one day."
"We need to make preparations early."
"Uncle Sword, please remind everyone to interact with Ye Yuan more often."
Chen Xin nodded. "Understood. Fortunately, he is not from our generation. Otherwise, we would have had no chance to rise."
Ye Yuan touched the black card in his hand. He had never expected to become rich in an instant.
Next, Ye Yuan planned to find his teacher, Qian Renxue, who was currently the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Qinghe.
For some reason, whenever he thought of Qian Renxue, he thought of the woman from that dream who had called herself Little Xue.
