A One-Ring Soul Master, striking with ten thousand kilograms of force—what did that even mean?
Wu Zhangkong had read many of Shrek's ancient records,
but he couldn't find a second monster like this!
He felt that, at the same level, Tang Wulin could even beat the legendary Emperor Auspicious Beast into a pulp!
"Uh..."
After his excitement had passed, Wu Zhangkong was left reeling.
He even wondered if Tang Wulin was really human.
The way Tang Wulin's eyes had turned scarlet just now had scared him. He'd thought Tang Wulin might rake him with a claw.
And besides,
when he'd pointed his sword at Ji Fengyu, six waves of hostility and killing intent had locked onto him in an instant!
Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Na'er, Xie Xie, Wang Jinxi,
and Tang Wulin's Spirit Soul, Little Grass Snake.
Golden Light, Little Grass Snake, appeared on Tang Wulin's shoulder and hissed at Wu Zhangkong.
"Sigh...!"
Wu Zhangkong let out a sigh.
Anyone who wanted to cut down Ji Fengyu, their support, was in for a treat.
Not only was Ji Fengyu immensely strong himself,
but whenever danger struck, the whole team went berserk!
When Wu Zhangkong had pointed his sword at Ji Fengyu just now, he'd clearly felt the Dragon Clan bloodlines in everyone erupt with potential on their own!
The whole team's combat power had increased by at least thirty percent!
Go on, take out this support!
One cut, and not a peep!
Ji Fengyu didn't feel like a support anymore. He was a Queen Bee! An ant queen!
The absolute head of the team.
"Tch, guarding your food, are you?"
Gu Yue muttered under her breath.
That ten-thousand-kilogram force had startled her, too. If it landed on her, wouldn't she end up in pieces?
Still, even a brute had his uses. The Golden Dragon King made a perfectly good bodyguard for his wife.
"Hmph! Gu Yue, just you wait!"
Tang Wulin still remembered their last grudge. He and Gu Yue had to settle once and for all who was better!
"All right, everyone, quiet down."
"Teacher Wu, are we continuing the test?"
Ji Fengyu stepped forward to smooth things over.
He was the only one who could keep the two Dragon Kings in check.
"Give me a moment..."
Wu Zhangkong still needed time to process the shock of the day.
Knock, knock!
While Wu Zhangkong was still reeling, someone knocked on the testing room door.
"Come in."
Wu Zhangkong's brows knitted slightly. He wasn't pleased to be interrupted at such a crucial moment.
Under everyone's watchful eyes,
Director Long Hengxu walked in with a petite girl.
Thump!
The instant the girl appeared, Ji Fengyu's heart skipped a beat. His bloodline seemed to stir,
while Tang Wulin and Na'er tensed as if facing a great enemy.
Gu Yue, meanwhile, looked suspicious and disbelieving.
The girl stood only 1.2 meters tall. On Douluo Continent, that was rather short for someone eight or nine years old, especially with a normal Martial Soul.
She had pink, curly twin tails,
and the two locks of hair over her forehead were dyed in every color of the rainbow, like two rainbow petals framing her delicate little face with a fairytale-like charm.
Who's that?
A huge question mark appeared over Ji Fengyu's head.
Wasn't there supposed to be no one like her in the story?
Wasn't Xu Xiaoyan the one who would transfer in?
The only thing he could be sure of was that the little girl had a powerful Dragon Clan bloodline, and that he felt drawn to her.
"Whoa, Brother Ji, I think your destined match just showed up. Even her bangs are rainbow-colored!"
Xie Xie blurted out in surprise.
The instant the words left his mouth, three perfectly coordinated murderous looks—from Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Na'er—landed on him.
"Don't make things up, Xie Xie."
Ji Fengyu smacked Xie Xie in exasperation. Wasn't the brat supposed to be cold and aloof? Why was he so chatty?
"Wu Zhangkong, this student will be attending Class Zero from now on."
Long Hengxu seemed quite intimidated by the petite girl. His every word was drenched in reverence.
Wu Zhangkong's eyes shifted almost imperceptibly.
A well-connected student?
Powerful backing?
Long Hengxu was practically scared stiff!
"Name, Martial Soul, Soul Power Level."
"My class has no place for students who get in through connections."
"Director Long may be afraid of you, but I'm not. If you aren't strong enough, you won't last in this class."
Wu Zhangkong stared coldly at the girl.
No matter how powerful her backing is, can it be more powerful than Shrek?
Besides, everyone in my Class Zero has a Dragon-type Martial Soul. A student who gets shoved in through connections still has to be able to keep up!
"Hello, teacher. Hello, everyone."
"My name is Lan Xuanyu. My Martial Soul is the Ascending Dragon Pillar, and I'm a Level 22 support-type Soul Grandmaster."
The rainbow-banged girl didn't seem to notice Wu Zhangkong's coldness. She smiled sweetly at everyone,
though... she might have been smiling at Ji Fengyu.
"The Ascending Dragon Pillar?"
Wu Zhangkong was about to become Dazed Wu.
Another Martial Soul he'd never heard of... It was making him look like an idiot!
The Ascending Dragon Pillar had "Dragon" in its name. It should be fine.
Good grief!
All seven students in his Class Zero had Dragon-type Martial Souls...
Wu Zhangkong felt like he'd dream about dragons every night.
"Lan Xuanyu?"
Ji Fengyu was utterly stunned.
You're telling me this little girl's name is Lan Xuanyu?
"The Ascending Dragon Pillar?!"
Gu Yue's expression changed dramatically—shock, delight, emotion, and possessiveness all flashed across her face.
How could this thing become a Martial Soul?
It's... it's wonderful!
"Gu Yue, you know this Martial Soul?"
Xie Xie asked curiously. The others, including Wu Zhangkong, pricked up their ears.
From Gu Yue's expression, she clearly knew what this Martial Soul was.
"I do."
Gu Yue swallowed, then explained everything she knew:
"The Ascending Dragon Pillar is a Dragon Clan treasure. It can increase a dragon's power and strengthen the Dragon Clan's bloodline."
"For the Dragon Clan, it's a treasure that guards the entire clan!"
Gu Yue's feelings were complicated.
She understood what was going on now.
Lan Xuanyu's Dragon Clan bloodline was powerful enough to rival hers precisely because of the Ascending Dragon Pillar!
The Ascending Dragon Pillar was the Dragon God's Super Divine Artifact.
Gu Yue didn't understand how such an artifact could appear as a Martial Soul,
but now that it had, she wasn't going to be polite!
I'll take it! I'll take it! If I'd had the Ascending Dragon Pillar sooner, would I have needed tens of thousands of years to heal?
It's not too late to have it now...
"Increase dragon power! Strengthen the bloodline?!"
Everyone was astonished.
Even Tang Wulin and Na'er, who had felt a faint hostility toward Lan Xuanyu, fell prey to the irresistible law of "the more you eat, the better it tastes."
"Teacher Wu, Lan Xuanyu has to join Class Zero!"
Xie Xie declared at once.
"I second that!"
Wang Jinxi added, shouting impatiently.
Ji Fengyu's expression was a little strange, while Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Na'er all gazed at Wu Zhangkong with wide, hopeful eyes.
"Uh..."
"Welcome to Class Zero, Lan Xuanyu."
What else could Wu Zhangkong say?
If he didn't agree, his students would tear Class Zero apart!
But Wu Zhangkong couldn't help finding this strange!
Tang Wulin, with the Golden Dragon Claw,
Na'er, with the Silver Dragon Spear,
Gu Yue, the Elementalist (as if he'd believe that),
Xie Xie and Wang Jinxi, with the Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Dark,
Ji Fengyu, the Rainbow Dragon, and now Lan Xuanyu, with the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
It was a complete super team!
They had powerful attackers, elemental control, buffs... Shrek's Seven Devils couldn't have had a lineup more outrageous than this, could they?
Was this right?
Every single one of them had a Dragon-type Martial Soul. Even at Shrek, he couldn't find seven people whose abilities meshed this perfectly!
"Please take good care of me from now on."
Lan Xuanyu smiled sweetly and slipped into the space between Ji Fengyu and Na'er.
At that moment,
a great being watched them, its gaze filled with sorrow and devotion.
"In your previous life, your bloodline wasn't strong enough, and that led to tragedy."
"In this life, the Ascending Dragon Pillar must raise your Dragon Clan bloodline—raise it as high as it can go!"
