Thousand-Year Soul Spirit

She hesitated for almost no time at all, her large, silver-purple eyes reflecting the sunlight and the figure of Wang Chuan...

She nodded gently.

"Mm."

She placed her small hand into Wang Chuan's warm palm.

Tang Wulin, standing to the side, watched this scene, his gaze lingering on Na'er for a moment.

He did indeed feel a faint, indescribable attraction emanating from this silver-haired girl that made him feel quite comfortable, and he felt a bit curious in his heart.

But he was more concerned about Wang Chuan at the moment; seeing Wang Chuan suddenly decide to take in a younger sister, he scratched his head, though he didn't understand why.

But since it was Wang Chuan's decision, he naturally felt it was a good thing.

He stepped forward and smiled at Na'er in a friendly manner, as a way of greeting her.

As for Wang Zhe and Luo Ya, when faced with Wang Chuan's sudden request to bring Na'er home to raise as his sister.

They were initially very surprised and confused.

But after listening to Wang Chuan's simple yet earnest explanation.

Coupled with seeing the little girl all alone and helpless, they felt she was very pitiful and wanted to give her a home.

For this kind-hearted couple, what welled up in their hearts was more relief and approval.

They were already a loving couple with a warm family atmosphere, and they were not opposed to having one more child.

Especially Luo Ya, looking at her son's composed demeanor and the way he handled things, which didn't seem like that of a six-year-old child.

The faint sense of "boredom" that occasionally arose in her heart because her son was too "worry-free" seemed to have found a new outlet.

Wang Chuan had been independent and sensible since he was young, rarely needing her to be as flustered and busy as other mothers, worrying about food, clothing, housing, transportation, or dealing with mischief.

While this certainly made things easier for her, it also sometimes made her feel that her sense of participation and being needed as a mother was lacking something.

The appearance of Na'er happened to fill this subtle void.

Thinking that there would soon be a little daughter at home who needed her careful care and companionship as she grew up, a sense of anticipation and a faint, busy joy even welled up in Luo Ya's heart.

However, as the head of the household, Wang Zhe considered things more thoroughly.

He did not agree immediately, but instead took Na'er to the Proud Arrival City administrative office first, attempting to verify her identity information.

The result was naturally as Wang Chuan had expected; Na'er appeared as if out of thin air, with no records in the Federation household registration system, and no one came to claim her.

Having confirmed this and ruled out the possibility that she was a kidnapped child, Wang Zhe no longer hesitated and followed the formal procedures to complete the adoption for Na'er.

Thus, the Wang family officially transformed from a warm family of three into a happy family of four.

Although household expenses increased.

But with Wang Zhe's stable and substantial income as a Three-Ring Soul Venerable and Level 3 Soul Master, combined with Luo Ya's careful budgeting, their standard of living was not significantly affected.

Even though Na'er displayed an astonishing appetite.

This burden was far from reaching a level that would cause pressure for the Wang family.

Not to mention that as the personal disciple of Leng Yaozhu, the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters allocated a generous monthly subsidy of cultivation resources.

This included a significant portion that could be directly exchanged for Federation Coin, which also made their family's financial situation extremely comfortable.

Regarding Na'er, Wang Chuan's initial motivation did indeed carry a clear "mission" color.

It was to prevent her from forming too deep a bond with Tang Wulin too early, thereby influencing Gu Yuena's future "lovestruck" tendencies as much as possible.

To reduce some uncertain risks for the Soul Beast clan and for the future of the entire continent.

But in the day-to-day interactions.

Watching that small figure who was always quiet and well-behaved, who would softly call him "Brother," and whose eyes were full of reliance and trust in him.

The utilitarian shell in Wang Chuan's heart gradually melted, and a pure sense of affection and protectiveness, belonging to an older brother for his younger sister, welled up spontaneously.

It is hard for anyone not to be moved by such a pure and cute Na'er, and Wang Chuan was no exception.

Time flowed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

Leng Yaozhu returned to Proud Arrival City from the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, travel-worn, and summoned Wang Chuan to the Spirit Pagoda Branch immediately.

In a quiet reception room, Leng Yaozhu's expression carried a rare trace of seriousness as she looked at Wang Chuan and got straight to the point:

"Xiao Chuan, regarding the Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit, I have some good news for you, but also some bad news."

Wang Chuan straightened his expression: "Please speak, Master."

"The good news is that the application to retrieve the Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit has been approved by the headquarters."

"Furthermore, considering its potential compatibility with your Martial Soul and your own astonishing talent, the headquarters has granted special approval."

"But it is not a Hundred-Year Soul Spirit."

Leng Yaozhu paused, her gaze fixed on Wang Chuan.

"Rather, it is a genuine Thousand-Year Soul Spirit."

A Thousand-Year Soul Spirit!

Wang Chuan's heart skipped a beat; this was definitely a grand gesture that exceeded all expectations.

Between a Hundred-Year Soul Spirit and a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, there is a qualitative gap in terms of contained energy, the boost provided to a Soul Master, and future potential.

"Then what is the bad news?" Wang Chuan asked calmly.

"The bad news stems from exactly that."

Leng Yaozhu sighed.

"The energy contained within a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit far exceeds that of a Hundred-Year Soul Spirit, and the requirements for the fusion candidate's physical constitution and Mental Power increase exponentially."

"For an ordinary Soul Master, even one with Innate Full Soul Power, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the impact of a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit at the level ten stage."

"If you attempt to fuse by force, the best case is mental damage and injured meridians; the worst case is the collapse of your Martial Soul, or even a threat to your life."

"The limit for a normal Soul Master's first soul ring is only around four hundred years."

She looked at Wang Chuan, her tone solemn:

"Therefore, according to standard practice, this Thousand-Year Rainbow Dragon Soul Spirit should not be given to you right now."

"The headquarters' suggestion is also to wait until your cultivation reaches level twenty and your physical constitution and Mental Power have further improved before attempting to fuse it as your second soul spirit."

"But after some thought, I decided to bring it to you first."

"So, I want to hear your own thoughts and opinions now."

Wang Chuan barely hesitated, looking at Leng Yaozhu with a firm gaze:

"Master, I want to try."

His Five Virtues Phoenix Martial Soul was, strictly speaking, by no means ordinary.

Among those so-called top-tier Martial Souls and ultimate Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent, how many could naturally be as close to and capable of manipulating the power of the Five Elements as he was?

And how many could touch upon such profound realms as "foreseeing the future" or "controlling the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy"?

Gu Yuena could control the seven elements because she was essentially the Silver Dragon King, one of the incarnations of the Dragon God, and existed at a god-level tier herself.

By that logic, his Five Virtues Phoenix Martial Soul.

Its grade should be at least god-level.

It might even be at the God King level!

It was only limited by his currently weak body and soul power, preventing it from fully displaying its might.

With the foundation of a God King level Martial Soul, absorbing a thousand-year level soul spirit, even if it was only for his first soul ring.

Wang Chuan felt the risk was far from as great as Leng Yaozhu imagined, and the success rate was extremely high.
