Snow Empress's Alien Energy

That was right. The Azure Dragon was the power Ao Zhan had obtained in the Super Beast Armed World.

Although the Azure Dragon Clan of the Second Parallel Universe was called Azure Dragon, they were merely azure in color. Their attribute was still ice, with nothing to do with the Azure Dragon of myth.

But the system had given him a gift pack back then, granting him the Azure Dragon Bloodline from myth and legend. It gave him formidable vitality and regenerative power, allowing him to recover rapidly in battle.

Time and again, he had narrowly escaped death at Gui Gu's hands. Even when he slept in the Sixth Parallel Universe, his wounds had continued to heal. Other than the system, the Azure Dragon Bloodline deserved much of the credit.

And as his Alien Energy increased, he could also wield the mighty power of the mythological Azure Dragon.

But after coming to this world, he had lost that immense reserve of Alien Energy, leaving him unable to use any of his former abilities.

"Host, how does it feel? I crafted this martial soul using your Azure Dragon Bloodline. After all, the level of this universe is far too low for such a powerful martial soul to be born naturally."

The system's voice sounded in Ao Zhan's mind, as though it were claiming credit.

"Not bad, not bad. This is very good. By the way, can you tell me where my Alien Energy went now?"

Ao Zhan nodded in satisfaction, then raised the question in his mind.

"About that, Host, your Alien Energy is actually..."

"Little Zhan, what's wrong? Did awakening your martial soul make you feel unwell anywhere?"

Qian Daoliu's voice suddenly pulled Ao Zhan back to his senses. He found the other man looking at him with concern in his eyes.

It was not just Qian Daoliu. Everyone else was the same.

Ao Zhan was a little confused by this. He asked, "Grandpa Qian, Xue'er, why are you all looking at me like that?"

"We were about to ask you the same thing. You were spacing out just now, and we didn't know what was going on. Did something happen?" Azure Luan stepped forward and asked with concern.

Ao Zhan realized what had happened. He had been communicating with the system and gotten so absorbed in their conversation that Qian Daoliu and the others had misunderstood.

After figuring it out, Ao Zhan waved his hand. "I'm fine, Grandpa Azure Luan. I was just too excited."

He casually came up with an excuse.

Qian Daoliu and the others believed him. Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Brother Zhan, what exactly is your martial soul? It looks like a dragon, but why is it so different from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? Did your martial soul mutate?"

Ao Zhan's lips twitched slightly.

Could a dragon like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon even compare to the Azure Dragon?

Even if the Dragon God were resurrected, it would not be qualified to do so!

Besides, in a place like Douluo Continent, what dragon could possibly mutate into an Azure Dragon!?

"My martial soul is called the Azure Dragon, one of the Four Symbols of Heaven and the Eastern Holy Beast."

Ao Zhan gave them a brief introduction to the Azure Dragon, leaving Qian Daoliu and the others utterly bewildered.

Azure Dragon?

Four Symbols of Heaven?

Eastern Holy Beast?

Why had they never heard any of those titles before?

But whatever. The Azure Dragon looked like an incredibly powerful martial soul, so its Innate Soul Power certainly would not be low.

"Little Zhan, come test your Innate Soul Power."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ao Zhan eagerly.

He desperately wanted to know how high Ao Zhan's Innate Soul Power was. The others felt the same way.

"Alright."

Ao Zhan took a deep breath, withdrew his martial soul, and placed his hand on the crystal ball.

In an instant, the crystal ball bloomed with dazzling light...

Crack!

Qian Daoliu and the others held their breath.

This crystal ball could test Soul Power up to level 20!

Yet Ao Zhan's Innate Soul Power had actually burst it apart. One could only imagine just how high his Innate Soul Power was!

Ao Zhan was not surprised. For the past three years, he had spent his days fighting. His Innate Soul Power had long since risen to an unknown level.

Qian Daoliu immediately replaced it with another crystal ball, one capable of testing Soul Power up to level 40!

"Little Zhan, do it again."

"Mm."

Ao Zhan placed his hand on it once more, and the crystal ball again emitted dazzling blue light.

This time, the crystal ball did not shatter, but the light completely illuminated it!

In other words, Ao Zhan's Innate Soul Power was actually level 40!

That was twenty whole levels higher than Qian Renxue's!

"Hahahahaha!"

Qian Daoliu threw back his head and laughed wildly, his voice filled with excitement and elation. There was none of the usual bearing of the Angel God's chief elder.

Level 40 Innate Soul Power!

Looking across the entire history of soul master development on Douluo Continent, it was unprecedented.

And such a genius had actually appeared within Spirit Hall. He was even the child Qian Daoliu had brought back during one of his trips outside!

This was simply the God Ancestor's blessing!

After seeing that Ao Zhan's Innate Soul Power had reached such an astonishing level, the others all drew sharp breaths. But what followed was uncontrollable ecstasy.

"Heaven bless Spirit Hall! Heaven bless Spirit Hall!!"

The Six Great Elders were beside themselves with joy as they stared eagerly at Ao Zhan.

Qian Xunji's mouth hung open. For him, the shock of this day would remain unforgettable no matter how many years passed.

Qian Renxue's level 20 Innate Soul Power had already been shocking enough, but Ao Zhan's heaven-defying talent had completely overwhelmed him.

Were children these days all this gifted?

How could someone casually be this absurdly talented?

Qian Renxue covered her mouth in shock. She had thought her level 20 Innate Soul Power was impressive enough, but Brother Zhan was even more outrageous.

His Innate Soul Power was a full two times greater than hers!

Didn't that mean Ao Zhan alone was worth two Qian Renxues?

But soon, joy and pride surged through her heart. Overcome with excitement, Qian Renxue immediately ran forward and tightly hugged Ao Zhan, burying her head in his chest as she said in a muffled voice, "Brother Zhan, you're amazing!"

Ao Zhan froze for a moment, then smiled and patted her back. "Isn't it only natural that I'm amazing?"

Qian Daoliu and the others all smiled knowingly at the sight, even Qian Xunji, the old father.

They had never objected to Ao Zhan playing with Qian Renxue. After all, because of that incident, Bibi Dong had always disliked Qian Renxue. And as the Pope's daughter, Qian Renxue had a noble status and rarely had any friends.

As for Golden Crocodile and the others' descendants, they were all younger than Qian Renxue. How could they be her friends?

After Qian Daoliu brought Ao Zhan back, he had always allowed him to play with Qian Renxue. Yet none of them understood why Qian Daoliu had done so.

He was only an orphan. Sending him to an orphanage would have been enough, so why let him become so close to Qian Renxue?

Could there be something special about this child?

Still, they had not interfered. Everything would be revealed when he turned six.

After all, six was the dividing line for every child on Douluo Continent. Whether one became a lofty soul master or an ordinary, mediocre person was determined at that age.

If Ao Zhan ultimately lacked the talent to become a soul master, then even if Qian Renxue remained as she always had been, a tragic divide would arise between them, and they would eventually become strangers.

But now, there was no need to worry about that at all. Ao Zhan's talent was even stronger than Qian Renxue's, so those things naturally would not happen.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji had even begun considering taking Ao Zhan and Qian Renxue's relationship a step further.

After all, with talent as exceptional as Ao Zhan's, failing to secure him quickly would be a loss!

Besides, Qian Daoliu had brought Ao Zhan back precisely because he had noticed something special about him and knew he was no ordinary child.

By then, Ao Zhan had soothed the excited Qian Renxue. Just as he was about to ask her to leave his arms, he heard the system's voice.

In an extremely mysterious tone, it said, "Host, why don't you carefully sense the little girl in your arms? She will definitely give you a huge surprise."

Ao Zhan was puzzled. What could Qian Renxue possibly have that would surprise him so greatly?

But considering that the system never spoke without reason, Ao Zhan truly closed his eyes and carefully sensed her.

Yet in the next second, his eyes flew open, and even his pupils trembled slightly in shock.

He sensed that an unusual energy was hidden within Qian Renxue's body.

It was bright and holy, yet it was not Soul Power. Still, it felt incomparably familiar to him.

It was Alien Energy—Snow Empress's Alien Energy!
