Leng Yaozhu listened, a look of contemplation flashing in her eyes as she murmured the key information:
"Five-element affinity, manipulation of musical rhythm..."
Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of an excellent choice, her tone carrying a hint of excitement:
"I have it! The Rainbow Dragon!"
"Rainbow Dragon?"
Wang Chuan was stunned.
He certainly knew of the Rainbow Dragon.
Among the Dragon Clan, the Rainbow Dragon held the reputation of being the "Queen of Dragons," typically following only the strongest Dragon King of the era as its mate.
However, this was not due to its combat prowess; on the contrary, the Rainbow Dragon's raw combat power was considered weak among the Dragon Clan.
Yet, it possessed the most top-tier and comprehensive "spell" support abilities in the entire Dragon Clan, earning it the title of "Magic Dragon."
Its support capabilities were so potent that they could cause a qualitative leap in the strength of the Dragon King partnered with it.
But what surprised him was that the Spirit Pagoda actually possessed a Soul Spirit of a Rainbow Dragon.
A Soul Beast of such rarity was hard to come by even during the peak era of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Seeing the curiosity on Wang Chuan's face, Leng Yaozhu smiled slightly and explained:
"With your Five Virtues Phoenix Martial Soul's ability to control the five elements, if you could fuse with a Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit..."
"Not only would it greatly strengthen your perception and precision in controlling the five elements."
"Its unique 'spell enhancement' trait could even multiply the power of your elements, potentially even triggering effects similar to group support."
"Furthermore, the Rainbow Dragon's own keen perception of energy fluctuations would be very helpful for your control over the five elements."
The more she spoke, the more she felt this choice was perfectly suited.
"Elemental enhancement, spell amplification, energy perception..."
"It's as if this was tailor-made for your Five Virtues Phoenix!"
"Although its direct attack power isn't strong, as your first Soul Spirit, it would lay an incredibly solid and comprehensive 'magic-type' foundation, giving you limitless future potential!"
Wang Chuan felt his heart race.
Leng Yaozhu's analysis was incisive; the traits of the Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit truly fit his current needs and development path perfectly.
Starting with a top-tier enhancement-type Soul Spirit would indeed allow him to walk a steadier and broader path in the future.
"Then I will trouble you, Master."
Wang Chuan's reply was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Leng Yaozhu smiled with satisfaction and nodded:
"However, since we have decided on the Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit, you may need to wait a few days."
"Because the reserves for Soul Spirits of this level are at the headquarters, I need to personally go through the application process and arrange for it to be delivered safely via special channels or a dedicated courier."
"During this time, it will be a good opportunity for you to adapt to the physical changes following your Martial Soul awakening."
Wang Chuan nodded slightly to show his understanding:
"I am in no rush, Master. Whatever you arrange is fine."
He was indeed in no rush. According to the "plot" timeline he knew, this was still a relatively calm period before the storm. The entire Sun Moon Federation appeared peaceful on the surface, and he had enough time to make a steady start.
With the matter of the Soul Spirit temporarily settled, Leng Yaozhu changed the subject and brought up another important matter:
"Xiao Chuan, now that your Martial Soul has awakened, you naturally need to consider enrolling in school to receive systematic basic education as a Soul Master."
"Proud Arrival City and the surrounding cities have several decent Primary Soul Master Academies. Is there anywhere you would like to go?"
"Or, I can recommend some high-quality academies within the Spirit Pagoda's internal training system for you."
Wang Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and almost without hesitation, he gave the answer he had already prepared:
"Master, I want to go to Red Mountain Academy."
"Red Mountain Academy?"
Leng Yaozhu felt a bit surprised. That was just a very ordinary public Primary Soul Master Academy in Proud Arrival City. Its faculty and resources were only considered upper-middle locally, far inferior to some private aristocratic academies or those affiliated with the Spirit Pagoda.
"Can you tell me your reason, Master?"
"With your qualifications, you could go to much better places."
She was not questioning him, but rather showing concern; after all, the higher a disciple's starting point, the smoother their future path usually was.
Wang Chuan was prepared, and he spoke with a calm expression:
"Master, I am still young, and my parents are both in Proud Arrival City."
"Red Mountain Academy is close to home, which makes it convenient for them to look after me."
"Moreover, I feel that during the primary academy stage, it is more important to lay a good foundation and adapt to the identity of a Soul Master..."
"Therefore, a primary academy with a relatively peaceful and simple environment might be more suitable for me."
"Wait until you reach the intermediate and advanced academy stages; it won't be too late to consider a broader platform then."
This statement was reasonable and logical, showing both consideration for family ties and a grounded, steady mindset.
Of course, his true reason remained unspoken.
He intended to go to Red Mountain Academy to see if he could trick Na'er, whom Gu Yuena had separated from herself, into leaving.
While he was at it, he would observe the "Child of Destiny" of this era, Tang Wulin, from up close.
After hearing Wang Chuan's explanation, Leng Yaozhu felt it made sense.
During the Primary academy stage, the focus was indeed on the basics, and a simpler environment was not necessarily a bad thing. Furthermore, with her support behind the scenes, he would never be short on resources.
Respecting her disciple's choice, she nodded and said:
"Since you have considered it thoroughly, then it shall be as you wish."
"I will send word to Red Mountain Academy to have them look after you a bit more."
"However, you must not slack off in your daily cultivation and studies. If you have any questions or needs, contact your master via the communicator at any time."
"This disciple understands. Thank you, Master."
Wang Chuan replied respectfully.
Several days later, Wang Chuan officially became a new student in the Soul Master class at Red Mountain Academy.
Just as he had expected, there was only one such Soul Master class in the entire Red Mountain Academy, and Tang Wulin was naturally in this class; becoming classmates was an inevitability.
On the first day of school, Wang Chuan had just found a seat by the window and hadn't even had time to look around.
A round, chubby little boy leaned over, his face filled with curiosity and a hint of showing off.
"Hey, newcomer, what is your Martial Soul?"
The little fatty's voice was quite loud, drawing the attention of several children nearby.
Wang Chuan had already noticed that this little fatty had been going around asking every classmate about their Martial Soul since he entered the room, never tiring of it.
Seeing that Wang Chuan only glanced at him without answering immediately, the little fatty assumed he was embarrassed.
Or perhaps his Martial Soul wasn't very good, which made him even more eager. He lowered his voice, wearing an "I understand" expression as he said:
"You wouldn't happen to have some trash Martial Soul, would you?"
"Don't be shy about saying it!"
In his view, if a child of this age had awakened a powerful Martial Soul, they would have long been impatient to show it off and enjoy the envious and surprised gazes of others, just like he did.
Wang Chuan felt helpless inside, thinking that this kind of showing off among children was truly childish.
Before he could speak, the little fatty waved his right hand, a cold light flashed, and a short blade appeared in his hand.
He shook it triumphantly:
"See that? My Martial Soul is a blade!"
"An offensive Tool Martial Soul!"
"If I can cultivate to become a Title Douluo in the future, I've already thought of my title: I'll be called the 'Blade God Douluo'!"
"Hehe, my Innate Soul Power is level five!"
When he mentioned level five, he deliberately puffed out his chest.
The gazes of many children in the classroom were drawn over, some looking at the short blade with envy.
An Innate Soul Power of level five was indeed quite good for a regular academy.
