Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit

After listening, Leng Yaozhu's eyes flickered with contemplation as she murmured the key information to herself:

"Affinity with all five elements, control over musical rhythms..."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as though she had thought of an excellent choice. A hint of excitement entered her voice.

"I've got it! A Rainbow Dragon!"

"A Rainbow Dragon?"

Wang Chuan froze.

Of course, he knew about Rainbow Dragons.

Among the Dragon Clan, Rainbow Dragons carried the reputation of being the "Queens of Dragons." They would usually only follow the strongest Dragon King of their era, serving as their partners.

Yet it was not because they possessed great combat strength. On the contrary, a Rainbow Dragon's own fighting ability was relatively weak among dragons.

However, they possessed the most exceptional and comprehensive spell-support abilities in the Dragon Clan and were known as Magic Dragons.

Their support abilities were powerful enough to bring a qualitative leap in the strength of the Dragon King partnered with them.

What surprised him was that the Spirit Pagoda actually had a Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit?

Such a rare Soul Beast had been difficult to find even during the Star Dou Great Forest's prime.

Seeing the curiosity on Wang Chuan's face, Leng Yaozhu smiled faintly and explained,

"With your Five Virtues Phoenix Martial Soul's control over the five elements, if you can fuse with a Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit..."

"Not only will it greatly enhance your perception and control precision over the five elements."

"Its unique Spell Amplification trait can further multiply the power of your elements. It may even awaken effects similar to group support."

"Moreover, a Rainbow Dragon's keen perception of energy fluctuations will also be very helpful for your control of the five elements."

The more she spoke, the more she felt that this choice could not have been more fitting.

"Elemental enhancement, spell amplification, energy perception..."

"It's practically tailor-made for your Five Virtues Phoenix!"

"Although its direct offensive power is not strong, using it as your first Soul Spirit will lay an incomparably solid and comprehensive foundation for a spellcaster. Your future potential will be limitless!"

Wang Chuan's heart stirred.

Leng Yaozhu's analysis had struck straight at the heart of the matter. The Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit's traits truly matched his current needs and direction of development perfectly.

Starting with a top-tier enhancement-type Soul Spirit would indeed allow him to walk a steadier, broader path in the future.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."

Wang Chuan's reply was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Leng Yaozhu smiled in satisfaction and nodded.

"However, since we've decided on a Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit, you may need to wait a few days."

"Soul Spirits of this level are kept at headquarters. I'll need to personally submit an application, request one, and arrange for it to be delivered safely by designated personnel or through special channels."

"In the meantime, you can adapt to the physical changes after awakening your Martial Soul."

Wang Chuan nodded slightly in understanding.

"This disciple is in no hurry. I'll follow Master's arrangements."

He truly was not in a hurry. According to the timeline of the "plot" he knew, this was still a relatively peaceful period before the storm arrived. The entire Sun Moon Federation appeared peaceful on the surface, and he had plenty of 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.

"Xiaochuan, now that your Martial Soul has awakened, it is naturally time to consider enrolling in school and receiving systematic foundational Soul Master education."

"There are several decent primary Soul Master Academies in and around Aolai City. Is there anywhere you would like to go?"

"Or I can recommend several excellent academies within the Spirit Pagoda's internal training system."

Wang Chuan's gaze shifted slightly. With almost no hesitation, he gave the answer he had long prepared.

"Master, I want to attend Red Mountain Academy."

"Red Mountain Academy?"

Leng Yaozhu was somewhat surprised. It was merely an ordinary public primary Soul Master Academy in Aolai City. Its teachers and resources could only be considered above average locally, far inferior to certain private aristocratic academies or academies affiliated with the Spirit Pagoda.

"Can you tell Master why?"

"With your qualifications, you could easily go somewhere better."

She was not questioning him, only concerned. After all, the higher a disciple's starting point, the smoother their future path would often be.

Wang Chuan had prepared for this already. He spoke calmly.

"Master, this disciple is still young, and my parents are both in Aolai City."

"Red Mountain Academy is close to home, making it convenient to look after them."

"Besides, this disciple believes that during the primary academy stage, what matters more is building a solid foundation and adapting to the identity of a Soul Master..."

"So a primary Soul Master Academy with a relatively peaceful and unpretentious environment may suit me better."

"When I reach the intermediate and advanced academy stages, it will not be too late to consider broader platforms."

His words were entirely reasonable. They took family into account while also making him appear grounded and unhurried.

Naturally, he did not reveal his true reason.

He planned to go to Red Mountain Academy and see whether he could trick away Na'er, whom Gu Yuena had separated from herself.

And while he was at it, observe Tang Wulin, the "Child of Fate" of this era, up close.

After hearing Wang Chuan's explanation, Leng Yaozhu felt that it made sense.

At the primary academy stage, the focus was indeed on fundamentals. A simpler environment was not necessarily a bad thing. Besides, with her supporting him from behind, he would never lack resources.

She respected her disciple's choice and nodded.

"Since you have considered everything carefully, then we'll do as you wish."

"I'll put in a word with Red Mountain Academy and have them take better care of you."

"However, you must not slack off in your daily cultivation and studies. If you have any questions or needs, contact Master through your communicator at any time."

"This disciple understands. Thank you, Master."

Wang Chuan answered respectfully.

Several days later, Wang Chuan officially became a new student in Red Mountain Academy's Soul Master class.

Just as he had expected, Red Mountain Academy had only one Soul Master class. Tang Wulin was naturally in that class as well, so becoming classmates was inevitable.

On the first day of school, Wang Chuan had just found a seat by the window and sat down when, before he had time to look around,

a round little fatty waddled over, his face filled with curiosity and a touch of showing off.

"Hey, newbie, what's your Martial Soul?"

The little fatty's voice was rather loud, drawing the attention of several children nearby.

Wang Chuan had already noticed that ever since entering the classroom, the little fatty had been asking each classmate about their Martial Soul, thoroughly enjoying himself.

When Wang Chuan merely glanced at him without answering at once, the little fatty assumed he was embarrassed.

Or perhaps that his Martial Soul was not very impressive. He immediately became even more enthusiastic, lowered his voice, and said with an expression that suggested he understood,

"Don't tell me you've got some useless Martial Soul?"

"Don't be embarrassed to say it!"

In his eyes, if a child their age had awakened a powerful Martial Soul, they would have long since been impatient to show it off and enjoy everyone's envious, astonished gazes—just like him.

Wang Chuan felt helpless. He only found this sort of childish boasting unbearably immature.

Before he could speak, the little fatty waved his right hand. A flash of cold light passed, and a short blade appeared in his hand.

He waved it smugly.

"See that? My Martial Soul is a blade!"

"An offensive weapon Martial Soul!"

"If I ever cultivate to become a Title Douluo, I've already thought of my title—it'll be Blade God Douluo!"

"Hehe, my Innate Soul Power is Level Five!"

When he mentioned Level Five, he deliberately puffed out his chest.

Quite a few children in the classroom were drawn to look over, some staring at the short blade with envy.

Innate Soul Power at Level Five was indeed considered quite good in an ordinary academy.
