When Goods Are Compared, Some Must Be Tossed; When People Are Compared, Some Wish They Were Dead! I Can't Even Look!
"What? Level 89?" Dugu Yan's face was full of shock. She couldn't help murmuring, "Feng Xiaotian in our world is only at level 43 Soul Power, right? That's not even half of his... This..."
The gulf between the two worlds left Dugu Yan at a loss for words.
"Senior, do you know the me from that world? And what about Yu Tianheng? Have you heard of him?"
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit shook his head. "I have heard of you, Master, since you're the granddaughter of Elder Dugu. Your name is Dugu Yan, and you're quite famous—a rare top-tier genius! Ten years ago, around the time I got into trouble, Dugu Yan of the Immortal Court was a little over ten years old. She should have just broken through level 40 then."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Her counterpart in the Immortal Court had reached level 40 at ten, while she had reached it at twenty. Why was the gap between people so enormous?
If it weren't for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's sacrifice, she would still be an inconspicuous little Soul Ancestor at level 41, with a thousand-year fourth ring she had only just absorbed.
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit went on, "As for Yu Tianheng, I haven't heard of him. But judging by his surname, he seems to be from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"That's right! He's a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!"
"Oh. Too bad I haven't heard of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Family. I was locked up ten years ago. By the way, I once heard my fellow prisoners say that the Blue Lightning Family had a bad background."
"A bad background? What does that mean?"
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit scratched his tiny head and explained, "When Emperor Qingtian unified the continent, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family joined the Star Luo Empire and stubbornly resisted the Immortal Court's unification alongside them. After Emperor Qingtian united the continent, he punished their family! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Family, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, the White Tiger Family, and the Swan Clan all had bad backgrounds."
"Oh, I see..."
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit continued, "Master, you don't need to worry too much. Emperor Qingtian was open-minded when it came to recruiting talent! Even if their background wasn't good, it wouldn't affect the next generation—that is, people like Yu Tianheng."
"All right... Do you know how much Soul Power the younger disciples of the Blue Lightning Family had at twenty?"
"Hmm, let me think..."
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit propped his tiny head up with his miniature claws and thought hard for a while. Then he said, "An ordinary genius Soul Master can reach Soul Saint level or higher by twenty. If they come from a great family with deep connections and financial support, they should have already broken through level 79 or even 80 by then. These genius Soul Masters are busy condensing their Eighth Soul Rings or Soul Cores. A family genius from a clan like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons should be around level 80 at twenty!"
"E-Eighty!"
Dugu Yan sucked in another sharp breath. She didn't dare ask how much Soul Power her counterpart in the other world had, afraid it would crush her.
Just then, Ozka stacked five sausages together. His muscles looked ready to burst, and his whole body was enveloped in golden light. Feng Xiaodi's skin across from him was also covered in golden light.
"In... out..." As Ozka breathed, scorching air flowed from his mouth.
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit explained, "This is the Breathing Technique Emperor Qingtian created when he was young. It helps circulate Soul Power through the body more efficiently and concentrate one's strength! It's very suitable for Soul Masters below level 95."
"Breathing Technique?" Dugu Yan silently committed the new term to memory.
The Earth Dragon Soul Spirit continued, "The golden light around Ozka should be a Soul Skill! As for the golden light around Feng Xiaodi, he must have cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill! It's one of the Martial Path techniques Emperor Qingtian created!"
"Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill!" Dugu Yan memorized another new term.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
On the training field, the two traded blow after blow, flesh against flesh. Dugu Yan watched with her heart pounding, comparing them to Yu Tianheng in her mind. Then... there was no comparison!
When goods are compared, some must be tossed; when people are compared, some wish they were dead!
She couldn't even look at them!
A little over ten minutes later,
Feng Xiaodi and Ozka stopped. Feng Xiaodi muttered, "You're too weak. That wasn't satisfying!"
Ozka rolled his eyes. "Heh. Then why don't you ask an elder to spar with you? Go on! They'll beat you to a pulp!"
At that, Feng Xiaodi rolled his eyes in annoyance, then waved at Dugu Yan. "Hello."
"Ah? Hello. Hello, both of you." Dugu Yan was a little nervous.
Ozka came over warmly and said, "By the way, Dugu Yan, why don't you tell us a bit about your world?"
"I... I can do that."
Once they had something to talk about, the atmosphere between the three of them improved considerably.
As Dugu Yan slowly told them about her world and they learned more about it, Ozka grew more and more convinced that he could wipe out the Tiandou Empire.
Feng Xiaodi asked in disbelief, "By the way, the Soul Power in your world is thirty percent denser than in ours! Why is your cultivation speed so slow?"
"I... I don't know." Dugu Yan shook her head, her face full of despair.
Ozka asked, "By the way, tell us about Shrek Academy. Aren't there too many geniuses there?"
At the mention of Shrek Academy, Dugu Yan immediately furrowed her brows and agreed. "There really are a lot of geniuses at Shrek Academy! They can't compare to the geniuses of the Immortal Court, but in our world, they really are geniuses!"
"For example, the most talented one is Tang San!"
"Tang San?" Feng Xiaodi was even more confused. Just whose Doppelganger was a genius like Tang San?
Dugu Yan continued, "Although his Martial Soul is just the Trash Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, he's only thirteen this year and already has level 33 Soul Power!"
"Blue Silver Grass? Level 33 Soul Power? He really is a genius!" Ozka nodded thoughtfully. In the next moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "The prince, Qian Pingchuan! His Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass too!"
"Gasp!" Feng Xiaodi sucked in a sharp breath, then held it as he exclaimed, "But our prince has the Blue Silver Emperor, and he has Twin Martial Souls! Tang San... No way. How could he be the prince's Doppelganger?"
Just then, Dugu Xue came over from a distance and said, "There's a genius disciple in the Clear Sky Hammer Family named Tang Si! He has Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Tree and Clear Sky Hammer! I've met Tang San. His father is the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Hammer Family. Tang San must be Tang Si's Doppelganger, and he also has Twin Martial Souls: Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer!"
"What? Tang San has Twin Martial Souls?" Dugu Yan was shocked again.
"Almost certainly!"
Dugu Xue nodded and said, "Yan'er, from today onward, I'll personally teach you Martial Path techniques. We'll start with the basics, the Dao Scripture. Once you've entered the Martial Path, you'll move on to the Yijin Jing! After that, it'll depend on whether you have the aptitude for cultivating immortality. If you don't, then the Martial Path will be your only choice."
"Thank you, Second Grandpa."
