Di Tian was in a state of utter turmoil.
There was only one person he would address as his Mistress.
That was the Dragon Clan's empress, the Dragon God's wife, the one who had once ruled over all the Dragon Clan!
But hadn't that honored one died of exhaustion after giving birth to the Dragon Clan's Crown Prince?
How could her aura have appeared on a human?
Di Tian carefully sensed Ji Fengyu's aura again. It was the Dragon Clan's Mistress, without a doubt!
It seemed that honored one had been reincarnated!
"This..."
"No wonder our lord came here. She sensed the Mistress's aura..."
"No wonder our lord took on a female form. The Mistress was reincarnated as a man..."
"Her bet with Na'er must have been nothing but a cover. I'm such an idiot! I actually failed to see our lord's true intentions!"
"How could our lord waste time on a trivial bet like that? She has grand designs!"
"Such astonishing wisdom. Unfathomable!"
"Gasp!"
Di Tian drew in a sharp breath. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed!
He'd originally been a little opposed to Gu Yue coming to this lousy place. He hadn't expected that he was the one being foolish.
As the Dragon God's embodiment of wisdom,
how could Gu Yue's wisdom be something he could imagine? How could he fathom Gu Yue's decisions?
And just like that, she had easily found the Dragon Clan's Mistress!
He was wrong. He would never again doubt the wise and mighty Gu Yuena!
"Heh-heh, bye, Tang Wulin."
After getting off the bus, Xie Xie followed Ji Fengyu and waved goodbye to the defeated Tang Wulin, basking in the spring breeze.
The road stretched out beneath the sky.
The students from Class One and Class Five were heading off in different directions.
"Tang Wulin?"
"What was going on?"
But he hadn't expected to see Tang Wulin again so soon.
In the blink of an eye,
they had run into each other again in Dormitory 205...
Ji Fengyu's dorm was 101. When he went in, his three roommates had already arrived.
The three boys visibly froze when they saw Ji Fengyu, suddenly awkward and ill at ease.
If a Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul belonged to someone with a personality like Gongyang Mo's, it would come off as girly. But with Ji Fengyu's personality and bearing, it seemed noble.
Elegant, dignified, and radiating an air of nobility!
"Hello, my name is Zhang Yangzi."
"These two are Wang Jinxi and Wei Xiaofeng."
The most composed of the three hurriedly introduced himself.
"W-Wang Jinxi."
The boy was a little dazed, with a stocky frame and thick bones. He spoke in a muffled voice.
"Wei Xiaofeng."
The other one, with his sinister air, was Wei Xiaofeng.
The three seemed at a loss in front of Ji Fengyu. Even their speech came out a little haltingly.
They were all geniuses and usually quite proud,
but Ji Fengyu was so dazzling that standing before him made them feel like Tang Wulin facing city folk: awkward and inferior.
"Hello, I'm Ji Fengyu."
Had he really ended up rooming with the three from Class One? Ji Fengyu mused.
It made sense.
After all, he was a nine-year-old Auxiliary Soul Grandmaster. There was no way the academy would assign him to Class Five.
Never mind. He'd already made arrangements with Tang Wulin ahead of time. They'd be together in Class Zero anyway, so there was no need to rush.
"Ji Fengyu, welcome. Let us help you."
Zhang Yangzi nodded, still looking a little dazed, then hurried over to help Ji Fengyu with his luggage and make his bed.
Even the seemingly quiet Wang Jinxi and the gloomy Wei Xiaofeng were enthusiastic,
especially after learning that Ji Fengyu was an Auxiliary Soul Master. The three became even more welcoming.
It had to be said, humans were creatures that judged by appearances.
"Ji Fengyu, my Martial Soul is a Dark Phantom Eagle. I'm an agility-type Soul Master."
"Jin Xi's Martial Soul is the Bone Dragon King, and Xiaofeng's is the Green Shadow Snake. What's your Martial Soul?"
Before long, Zhang Yangzi and the other two had laid all their cards on the table.
"My Martial Soul is the Rainbow Dragon."
"The Rainbow Dragon?"
The three looked bewildered. They didn't know much about Martial Soul types, and they weren't Ji Fengyu fans, so they had trouble understanding.
A Rainbow Dragon?
Could a Dragon Martial Soul really be auxiliary-type?
"Ji Fengyu, I have a Dragon Martial Soul too."
"And I feel a kind of affinity with you. Our Martial Souls seem to be very close."
Wang Jinxi hesitated, then gathered his courage and spoke.
"It's normal for you to feel that way."
Every Dragon Soul Master said that...
Ji Fengyu couldn't even be bothered to complain anymore. Among the Dragon Clan, the Rainbow Dragon was basically the tortoiseshell cat of the cat world!
"We're classmates from now on, and there's a good chance we'll be teammates too. Let me show you what I can do."
Yellow! Yellow!
Two terrifying Hundred-Year Soul Rings appeared beneath Ji Fengyu's feet.
A pair of dazzling Rainbow Wings spread open, brilliant enough to nearly blind the three boys.
Zhang Yangzi and the others' mouths fell into perfect O's.
What kind of Martial Soul was this?
How could it be so gorgeous?
Had someone spent too much money? The whole aesthetic screamed high-end VIP player!
The free-to-play players were stunned.
Whoosh!
Another over-the-top burst of brilliant light appeared,
and a Seven-Colored Crown materialized above Ji Fengyu's head. It was golden all over, set with seven differently colored gems and steeped in extravagance, making him look even more elegant and noble.
That was his Hundred-Year Spirit Soul, a premium spirit he'd gotten for free from the Spirit Pagoda. In rainbow weather, it could absorb large amounts of Rainbow Power to increase his Soul Power.
"A Soul Grandmaster?!"
The Martial Soul and Spirit Soul were so dazzling that it took Zhang Yangzi and the others a good while to notice the two dull-yellow Hundred-Year Soul Rings.
They were shocked all over again.
An Auxiliary Soul Grandmaster of his age was far more impressive than they were!
"First Soul Skill, Crimson Strength!"
"Second Soul Skill, Orange Attack!"
Ji Fengyu paid no attention to the three stunned boys. Both Soul Rings shone brightly.
Crimson, orange—
Two beams of light flew out from his Rainbow Wings and poured into Zhang Yangzi and the others.
"Uh..."
The three immediately felt a rush of bliss. Their bodies seemed to be filled with explosive power, a sense of satisfaction unlike anything they'd ever felt.
Wang Jinxi's transformation was the most dramatic. His aura surged several levels, pressing down on Zhang Yangzi and Wei Xiaofeng so heavily that they could barely hold their heads up.
Crimson Strength increased the target's strength by 23% and added one layer of Dragon Might.
Orange Attack increased the target's attack by 23% and added one layer of Dragon Might.
Each layer of Dragon Might increased all attributes by 5%.
The boost was doubled for Dragon-type Soul Masters.
In other words, Wang Jinxi received a 46% increase in strength, an increase in attack, and a 20% increase to all attributes!
The reason for the 23% increase was that Ji Fengyu's Soul Power Level was 23. The boost ratio corresponded to his Soul Power Level.
It was more flexible and lasted longer than the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, whose every ring increased attributes by 10%.
"Ah, this power!"
Wang Jinxi stared in astonishment as he clenched his fist. Could this really be him?
It felt like he'd been reborn!
"Gasp... Jinxi, you're so strong!"
"We got stronger too, but nowhere near as much as you. You're kind of scary now."
Zhang Yangzi raised his hands to shield himself from the might Wang Jinxi unconsciously released. Under the crushing pressure, he stared at Ji Fengyu in shock.
This auxiliary ability was absurd!
And it seemed a little biased. Why had Wang Jinxi become so much stronger than the two of them?
Was it because they were both dragons?
"It's normal to feel an affinity. Every Soul Master who receives my boost feels it."
Ji Fengyu put away his Martial Soul and Soul Skills.
Thump!
Zhang Yangzi and the others, who'd been floating on cloud nine, dropped straight into the mud. They even started suffering withdrawal symptoms.
"Bro, keep it up a little longer..."
"It's seriously addictive!"
"Bro, you're our boss from now on! The three of us will follow your lead!"
Zhang Yangzi and the others hurriedly thumped their chests, pledging their loyalty.
"Ahem. We're all brothers here. No problem, no problem."
Ji Fengyu reluctantly gained three more underlings.
"By the way, Bro, let's go eat together. Our treat."
Seeing that it was mealtime, Wei Xiaofeng took the opportunity to invite him.
Ji Fengyu was about to agree when his soul communicator rang. He glanced at the number, and his expression changed.
"Never mind. I have a call. You go ahead."
With that, Ji Fengyu hurried out of the dorm.
He went to an open area on the academy grounds and answered the call. A man's voice came from the other end:
"Fengyu, that Rouge Soft-Muscle Python Spirit Soul you wanted..."
"I've found the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's Distraction Control Method."
