The same way of eating, nearly the same appetite,
Ji Fengyu was bold and carefree,
while Tang Wulin was a pig?
"You're going too far!"
"Gu Yue!"
Tang Wulin stopped eating, threw down his bowl and chopsticks, and stood up, red-faced with anger.
Although he didn't deny that Brother Ji was bold and carefree,
that didn't mean Gu Yue could call him a pig!
"So what if I am?"
Seeing Tang Wulin fly into such a rage, Gu Yue finally let a satisfied, smug smile show.
"So what? Apologize!"
But Gu Yue hadn't expected Na'er to stand up too,
and side with Tang Wulin.
Na'er knew perfectly well that Gu Yue was her rival in love. Her brother was already butting heads with Gu Yue, so how could she not help him?
"Gu Yue, don't get worked up. Let's all talk this out."
Xie Xie's favoritism was painfully obvious.
He wasn't afraid of the powerful and wouldn't bow to the evil forces of Gu Yue—except inside the Spirit Ascension Platform.
He had to stand with Wulin, obviously.
"You all!! Dare to fight me?"
"I'll take on all three of you!"
The dignified Silver Dragon King was being ganged up on by the Golden Dragon King, her own clone, and a little Holy Light Dragon. Gu Yue was furious.
Just what she wanted! She might as well deal with them all at once!
Crush them all!
"Go on, fight. Fight hard."
Ji Fengyu set down his chopsticks helplessly, feeling a little worn out. His household was in turmoil...
What was he supposed to do about the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings picking fights the moment they met?
"Fine! Let's go!"
Now that the head of the household had spoken, the others didn't waste a moment. They headed straight for the school's Martial Arts Arena.
"Let's go too."
Ji Fengyu had nearly finished eating as well. He got up with Lan Xuanyu and Wang Jinxi and followed them.
He'd have to call and ask them to send over more rare ingredients.
Those with Dragon Clan bloodlines had enormous appetites.
The Grade A Meals at the academy alone were no longer enough.
"Hey, you're Wang Jinxi, right?"
"Take this. You should understand what I mean..."
Lan Xuanyu secretly sent Wang Jinxi a mental message through their psychic link, and passed along a wisp of Dragon God aura.
Wang Jinxi shuddered, then immediately understood.
"OK!!"
After making an OK sign, he hurried off, finding an excuse to slip away.
And so,
Ji Fengyu and Lan Xuanyu were left alone, strolling together.
Lan Xuanyu: I've successfully stolen him away!
"Brother Ji, after a meal, you should take a walk to help digest it. What's the fun in watching them fight?"
"I'll take you to see a rainbow."
"I've been keeping an eye on the weather forecast lately. I heard there might be rainbows in some parts of Eastsea City soon..."
Lan Xuanyu stopped Ji Fengyu and invited him along.
She was very petite. Even on tiptoe, she could only look up at Ji Fengyu with some effort.
Those two rainbow-colored bangs of hers were quite eye-catching,
flashing brightly in Ji Fengyu's eyes.
The only thing he could be sure of was that this Lan Xuanyu wasn't that good-for-nothing from Douluo IV. They probably just shared the same name.
But her origins were just as mysterious.
Her Martial Soul was actually an Ascending Dragon Pillar.
Ji Fengyu didn't know much about Douluo IV or the Ascending Dragon Pillar, but he knew it was a Super Divine Artifact.
And there was an aura about Lan Xuanyu that made him feel very comfortable.
It seemed to be the effect of the Ascending Dragon Pillar.
He felt that his bloodline had grown considerably stronger lately when he was with Lan Xuanyu, and that his appetite kept increasing.
Given his Martial Soul, the Wife of the Dragon God, he had reason to suspect that Lan Xuanyu was the old Dragon God in disguise!
"Sure!"
And since they were going to see a rainbow together, Ji Fengyu had no reason to refuse.
"Heaven-Supporting Ascending Dragon Pillar!" (Soul incantation changed.)
Lan Xuanyu called out, summoning her Ascending Dragon Pillar.
"Hop on."
"My Martial Soul can fly like a sword. I know where the rainbow is, so we can go there together."
Lan Xuanyu hopped onto the Ascending Dragon Pillar first, then sat down gracefully and patted the space behind her, inviting him to join her.
"Sure."
Ji Fengyu didn't think much of it and sat down.
Whoosh!!!!!
The next moment, the Ascending Dragon Pillar shot forward like a rocket.
Ji Fengyu, his face dark with dismay, was flung off and spread his Rainbow Wings.
A rocket launch?!
Are you trying to kill me?!
"Uh..."
Lan Xuanyu looked thoroughly embarrassed.
It wasn't quite how she'd imagined it...
Wasn't she supposed to launch forward, making Ji Fengyu nervous enough to cling tightly to her waist...?
"We'd better fly separately."
Ji Fengyu waved a hand, annoyed, no longer trusting Lan Xuanyu as his driver.
"Then stay close to me, Brother Ji."
Lan Xuanyu nervously tried to change the subject.
"By the way, Brother Ji, Teacher Wu mentioned the Tang Sect. Do you want to join?"
Wu Zhangkong had insisted that Wang Xie and the others join,
but hadn't placed any restrictions on them.
Since Ji Fengyu hadn't joined the Tang Sect yet, Tang Wulin and the others had all said they'd think it over.
In reality, they were just waiting for Ji Fengyu...
"The Tang Sect?"
"I'm already a member of the Body Sect. To join the Tang Sect, I'd need the sect master's approval."
With just the two of them there, and Lan Xuanyu quite possibly being the Dragon God, Ji Fengyu didn't hide anything.
His Second Martial Soul's skin and the Body Sect's combat techniques weren't secrets in the Dragon Clan Squad, anyway.
Actually, Ji Fengyu really wanted to join the Tang Sect and learn the Tang Sect Secret Arts. But it all depended on how magnanimous the sect master was.
"The Body Sect?"
Lan Xuanyu's expression turned enlightened.
No wonder.
Though the Body Sect had fallen into decline, it wouldn't have abandoned its rules. She guessed Ji Fengyu's joining the Tang Sect was a long shot.
"Then can I join the Body Sect?"
Lan Xuanyu's clever little brain sprang into action.
Since Brother Ji wasn't joining the Tang Sect,
then, heh, with everyone else away, wouldn't it be wonderful if she slipped into Brother Ji's Body Sect?
"What are you thinking?"
"Only people with a Body Martial Soul can join the Body Sect. Yours is a tool-type Martial Soul."
"But with things the way they are now,"
"a few decades from now, we might establish something like a Divine Dragon Hall and gather all the Soul Masters with Dragon attributes."
Ji Fengyu turned down Lan Xuanyu's request to join the Body Sect, but offered an alternative.
He hadn't planned to start an organization,
but his loyal subjects were simply too capable.
The Ascending Dragon Pillar, the Golden Dragon King, the Silver Dragon King—now that they were all here, it would be strange not to establish a sect for Dragon-attribute Soul Masters, wouldn't it?
"Then can I be the vice sect master?"
Lan Xuanyu's eyes lit up.
"Absolutely!"
With an Ascending Dragon Pillar this huge, how could Ji Fengyu not give her an important role?
"By the way, I've told you all about myself. What about you?"
"Can you tell me about your family?"
"I know this is a little forward, but an Ascending Dragon Pillar is an exceptionally rare and powerful support-type Martial Soul..."
Ji Fengyu cautiously probed.
"Actually, there's not much to tell."
"I come from a family with Dragon Martial Souls in the Federation."
"My memories start when I was six. I've never seen my parents,"
"The adults in my family treated me with great respect, but kept their distance. They said I'd been placed in their care by some important figure,"
"I don't know who my real family is, or where my Ascending Dragon Pillar Martial Soul came from..."
Lan Xuanyu sounded a little sad.
The Dragon God had discovered Ji Fengyu when he awakened his Martial Soul at six.
If he'd been reincarnated, the age difference would have been too great.
So the Dragon God had gone about it in an unusual way, having a hand in both the Soul Beast's reincarnation and the human's rebirth.
"Placed in the care of people in the lower realm by some important figure?"
Ji Fengyu's expression turned strange.
Lan Xuanyu's memories began at six, and Soul Beasts also transformed at six. Hmm...
Why did something about this feel off?
