In just half a year, he had become able to discern the texture of every willow catkin drifting from the willow tree a hundred meters away; even the tracks of black ants crawling hidden within the branches could not escape his eyes.

In the shadows beneath the pavilion, Bibi Dong, dressed in her black and red adjudicator robes, stood silently watching the small figure by the window for nearly an hour.

"Is he like this every day?"

A deep voice came from behind her. Qian Daoliu walked over slowly, following her gaze toward Tang San by the window, his eyes filled with complexity.

"Ever since he turned two and could sit steadily, he hasn't missed a single day." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, her tone carrying unconcealable relief and certainty. "Great Elder, you have seen it too. The ancestor's will specifically designated this east-facing room and instructed us not to interfere with any of his habits; it truly had profound meaning. This eye technique of his is self-taught, and his visual acuity far exceeds that of children his age, even sharper than some low-level Soul Masters."

Qian Daoliu sighed, looking at the small figure and remembering his grandfather who had fallen years ago, his voice deepening. "The ancestor's calculations were infallible throughout his life; the people he left behind will never be wrong. Provide this child with resources according to the highest specifications for Martial Soul Hall core descendants. Whatever books he wants to read, even the rare copies from the Elder Hall, send them over as soon as he asks. All we must do is follow the ancestor's arrangements and mold him into the shape the ancestor desired."

Bibi Dong bowed in acknowledgment. Before turning to leave, she sternly instructed the elders guarding the pavilion: "Add two more shadow guards to his side. They are to protect his safety only and must not interfere with any of his actions. The morning dew and medicinal herbs he requires daily must be prepared in advance; there must be no delays."

She knew clearly in her heart that this child was the most important chess piece laid out by the ancestor Qian Chongguang.

Yet, within Martial Soul City, this kind of "precocious genius" who differed from ordinary people was not limited to just Tang San.

Gui Mengguan, who was the same age as Tang San, relied on a face more delicate and charming than that of a noble lady, along with a sweet tongue and a knack for handling affairs, to wrap all the elders of Martial Soul Hall around his finger; he was a notorious little troublemaker. Only he knew that inside this three-year-old body resided the soul of an ordinary modern office worker.

He was just an average viewer who had binged the Douluo anime countless times and read a few fan fictions; forget about cultivation methods at the Title Douluo level, he barely understood even the basic circulation of soul power for a Soul Master.

However, he couldn't help but rely on the childhood physical training methods he had learned from his mother, who practiced yoga in his past life—core stability training, balance exercises, flexibility stretching; they were all scientific methods that didn't harm development while rapidly improving physical fitness.

Consequently, while other three-year-old children were still stumbling and falling after running two steps, he could already rely on precise core control to climb walls and trees more niftily than a monkey, walking across a balance beam on rockery as steadily as if he were on flat ground. While other children played recklessly, he could already use his flexibility to easily dodge the shoves of older children, not even letting them touch the hem of his clothes.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei already doted on him to the heavens, and seeing their son show such agility at such a young age, they found it nothing short of miraculous. Especially Gui Mei, who, every time he watched Gui Mengguan do somersaults in the courtyard without wavering, would stroke his chin and sigh to Yue Guan: "Our son's bone structure is naturally suited for training as a Soul Master! When he awakens his Martial Soul at six, he will definitely be top-tier!"

Every time Gui Mengguan heard this, he could only grin and pretend to be cute, while frantically complaining in his heart: Help, if it weren't for this bit of yoga foundation, I would have been exposed long ago!

Oupai, one year younger than Tang San, was the only grandson of Guang Ling Douluo. Guang Ling Douluo loved to play his whole life and treasured his Glazed Bow above all else; he had made a miniature wooden bow for Oupai just as he learned to walk, originally intending it as a toy, but he hadn't expected it to drop his jaw in shock.

In his past life, Oupai had been a part-time instructor at an archery range. He might not have known anything else, but he was crystal clear on basic archery stances, force-application techniques, and breathing coordination. He knew that a child's bones weren't fully developed and couldn't use brute force to draw a bow, so he relied entirely on his waist and core, maintaining a standard posture and steady breathing. Even with a toy wooden bow that had no soul power enhancement, he could steadily hit a target thirty paces away, with every arrow grazing the bullseye.

The first time he hit the target, Guang Ling Douluo jumped up, hugged him, and spun him around several times, bragging to everyone he met: "Our Guang family is going to produce a master archer! He can draw a bow and hit the target at two years old; I didn't even have this talent back then!"

From then on, Guang Ling Douluo kept him by his side every day, teaching him to recognize bows and practice aiming whenever he was free. Oupai could only force himself to keep up using the foundation from his past life. Every time Guang Ling Douluo praised his talent, he would chant in his heart: Stop praising, stop praising, if you keep praising I'm going to be exposed; I don't even know how to circulate soul power!

Qian Gujue, also two years old, was the grandson of Falling Devil and Thousand Jun Douluo. Falling Devil Douluo was obsessed with tool Martial Souls his entire life and treasured his Coiling Dragon Staff most of all; he had carved a palm-sized stone lock for Qian Gujue, originally just for him to play with, but he hadn't expected the child to be able to lift it steadily above his head, and even swing it around a few times.

In his past life, Qian Gujue had been a gym enthusiast who had practiced strength training for over half a year, and he understood best how to use his waist and legs to generate force rather than relying solely on his arms. He knew that children shouldn't train with heavy weights, so he relied entirely on correct posture to dissipate force. When lifting the stone lock, he would tense his waist and abdomen, using his legs to drive his waist, which then transferred to his arms. It looked like "innate divine strength," but it was actually all technique.

Falling Devil Douluo looked at his two-year-old grandson, who could lift a stone lock heavier than his own body weight, and smiled until his face blossomed like a flower, dragging Thousand Jun Douluo along every day to show off: "Look! My grandson! He is naturally suited for a tool Martial Soul! This strength, this comprehension—he will definitely surpass us brothers in the future!"

Every time Qian Gujue heard this, he could only offer a silly smile while sweating profusely in his heart: It's over, it's over. If this continues, and I awaken a trash Martial Soul at six, won't they throw me into training the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer?

The anomalies of these children soon spread throughout the upper echelons of Martial Soul Hall.

For ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent, almost all top-tier Soul Masters had possessed excellent bone structures and precocious intelligence since childhood. The ancestor Qian Chongguang himself had learned to read at two and could recite the general outline of Soul Master basics by three, setting an unprecedented record on the continent.

Therefore, no one looked elsewhere, assuming only that the ancestor was watching from heaven, blessing Martial Soul Hall with a succession of geniuses, and everyone was overjoyed.

Ultimately, led by Golden Crocodile Douluo, and after discussions with Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong, Martial Soul Hall directly established a Genius Enlightenment Class within the core Soul Master Academy. They gathered the four children—Tang San, Gui Mengguan, Oupai, and Qian Gujue—together and assigned the most learned teachers in Martial Soul Hall to instruct them, teaching them literacy, basic Soul Master knowledge, and fundamental physical conditioning. They provided the top-tier resources of the entire continent, intending to polish their bone structures from a young age so that they could be directly integrated into the core cultivation system after awakening their Martial Souls at age six.
