Your Brother Cheng Lives Up to His Name

When Wu Changkong first saw Tang Wuling's file, he was somewhat surprised, even wondering if she was a soul beast in human form. However, after witnessing Cheng Duoyi's strength, he realized that there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond the heavens.

However, the speed at which Tang Wuling's strength increased caught him off guard.

I recall that Tang Wuling's test results from a few days ago weren't like this. Could it be that soul masters with dragon-type martial souls like Cheng Duoyi have such significant, unrestricted growth?

Wu Changkong could not fathom what kind of bloodline Cheng Duoyi possessed.

Of the bloodlines he was familiar with, none provided such a terrifying boost to the Dragon Clan. He had seen True Dragon martial souls before, yet nothing like this had ever occurred.

Tang Wuling looked proudly toward Cheng Duoyi's side.

"Ling'er's strength has improved again."

Cheng Duoyi patted Tang Wuling's head, and she wore an expression of pure enjoyment: "It's all thanks to your help, Brother Yi'er; otherwise, I couldn't have improved so quickly."

Cheng Duoyi knew that Tang Wuling was referring to the Spirit Fruit he had given her, which allowed her to fuse with the first strand of Golden Dragon King Essence.

But the others didn't know that.

"This, this, this... is this right?"

Xu Xiaoyan was momentarily confused about the relationship between Tang Wuling and Cheng Duoyi.

Wasn't Cheng Duoyi very close with Gu Yue?

Wait...

Could it be that Tang Wuling is Cheng Duoyi's younger sister?

Thinking back to what Cheng Duoyi said that morning, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but let her imagination run wild regarding their relationship.

"Brother Cheng, if I also cultivated by your side every day, would I be able to be like Tang Wuling?"

Wang Jinxi approached Cheng Duoyi, his eyes filled with pleading.

The gap was simply too large—it was already nearly tenfold.

It was estimated that an ordinary four-ring power-type Soul Ancestor couldn't even compare to Tang Wuling's strength; perhaps only a Five-Ring Soul King could contend with her.

But how old was Tang Wuling now?

Nine!

And her rank?

Two rings!

When Tang Wuling reached the level of a four-ring Soul Ancestor, what kind of terrifying situation would arise?

In the face of becoming stronger, who cared about pride anymore!

Seeing this, Wei Xiaofeng also ran over to Cheng Duoyi's side: "Brother Cheng, count me in. I'm not asking to be like Tang Wuling; I'd be satisfied if my strength could reach five hundred kilograms."

Gu Yue stepped in front of Cheng Duoyi and glared at them.

"Do you think Little Yi is a god? That he can just grant improvements whenever he wants?"

"Whether you improve or not depends on yourselves."

"If you don't work hard, don't expect others to help you!"

Wei Xiaofeng and the others froze, suddenly realizing the truth.

"We understand. From now on, we will strictly follow Brother Cheng's orders."

"That's right, Brother Cheng, whatever you say, I'll do."

Yun Xiao looked at the two of them, feeling helpless inside: Great, two more boys have been won over by Brother Cheng. Why don't I have any Dragon Clan bloodline in my body? Even a tiny bit would be enough! I wouldn't be such a waste then...

He felt very envious.

Cheng Duoyi looked at the somewhat chaotic crowd: "Let's just follow Teacher Wu's arrangements and begin the measurements."

"Right, right, measurements, measurements."

Following Tang Wuling's heaven-defying strength test, the crowd saw that Gu Yue's strength was also over two hundred kilograms; while surprised, they were no longer shocked.

Xie Xie's strength was not low either, reaching nearly two hundred kilograms.

One had to remember that he was an agility-type soul master.

The strength of Wei Xiaofeng and Zhang Yangzi was not particularly impressive.

Both were under one hundred kilograms, which made them blush; they couldn't even outperform the girls.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyan's strength was also not high, sitting at just over forty kilograms, which allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief. Otherwise, they really wouldn't have the face to remain in this class.

Wu Changkong had gained an understanding of everyone's strength and prepared to measure their spiritual power.

However, Wang Jinxi spoke up: "Teacher Wu, Brother Cheng hasn't tested yet."

"That's right, we're also very curious to see how strong Brother Cheng is," Wei Xiaofeng added, equally curious.

The corners of Wu Changkong's mouth twitched.

"The upper limit of this strength tester is ten thousand kilograms."

Zhang Yangzi scratched his head, confused: "So?"

Xu Xiaoyan heard this and thought of something: "Teacher Wu, you don't mean to say... that Class Monitor Cheng's strength is over ten thousand kilograms, do you!"

After Xu Xiaoyan finished speaking, Zhang Yangzi said: "How is that possible? Brother Cheng is only a one-ring; I'd believe you if you said three thousand kilograms, but over ten thousand? I don't buy..."

"What's with those expressions? Brother Cheng's strength couldn't really be over ten thousand kilograms, could it!"

Zhang Yangzi noticed that Xie Xie and the others didn't refute it at all, as if what Xu Xiaoyan had just said was the truth.

At this moment, Xie Xie spoke up: "Don't use your ignorance to guess at Brother Cheng's power. You think Brother Cheng is weak? Let me tell you, Brother Cheng's strength is beyond your imagination. In the future, you will understand that being able to follow Brother Cheng is the greatest stroke of luck in your lives."

Wei Xiaofeng and the other two wore complex expressions.

This was truly a series of twists and turns.

However, after coming back to their senses, the gazes they directed at Cheng Duoyi were filled with not just fervor, but also worship; they were convinced that following Cheng Duoyi was the right choice!

"Alright, let's begin measuring spiritual power."

Wu Changkong led everyone to test their spiritual power, with Wei Xiaofeng going first.

"Forty-three. At your age... not bad."

Wu Changkong paused mid-sentence, glancing at Cheng Duoyi before looking back at Wei Xiaofeng, which made them start guessing again—could Cheng Duoyi's spiritual power be incredibly high as well?

Could it be that he had reached over fifty, entering the Spirit Connection Realm?

No, no, that was clearly too low; it had to be higher than that. Could it be the Spirit Sea Realm?

But that didn't seem very likely!

The Spirit Sea Realm required over five hundred!

It was most likely around two hundred.

That was already quite high...

Everyone remained silent as they took turns testing.

Zhang Yangzi's spiritual power was forty-one, which was already quite high.

After all, Wang Jinxi's spiritual power was only eighteen...

When it was Xu Xiaoyan's turn to be measured, her spiritual power was forty-eight.

"Your spiritual power is also not bad," Wu Changkong said flatly.

Xu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."

"Xie Xie, you're next."

Wu Changkong didn't look at Xie Xie, but rather at Cheng Duoyi.

Cheng Duoyi nodded, and only then did Xie Xie step forward to test: "Teacher Wu, I have a premonition that my spiritual power has definitely increased again."

Wu Changkong nodded: "Right, you have a premonition every time, and your spiritual power has indeed increased."

"Hehe." Xie Xie scratched his head and began the test.

"Hm? It really did increase quite a bit, reaching fifty-five! You have now stepped into the Spirit Connection Realm; keep up the good work," Wu Changkong encouraged.

"Teacher Wu, I will work hard."

After saying this, he happily walked over to Cheng Duoyi.

"Brother Cheng, when are we going to the Spirit Ascension Platform? I can't wait to increase the age of my soul rings," Xie Xie said.

"Spirit Ascension Platform?" Xu Xiaoyan walked over to Cheng Duoyi and the others, looking puzzled.

"What's wrong?" Xie Xie was confused, not understanding what Xu Xiaoyan meant, but then he thought of something and wore an 'ah, I see' expression.

"What's with that look? You don't think I don't know what the Spirit Ascension Platform is for, do you!" Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but say.

"You know? Then why did you ask?"

Xie Xie was a bit impatient.

Why ask if you already know?

Cheng Duoyi didn't answer, looking instead at Gu Yue, Tang Wuling, and Yun Xiao.

"Sister Yue'er, Ling'er, Yun Xiao, you three go test your spiritual power first and see if there's been any improvement during this time."

"Alright."

The three of them went to test one by one.

Seeing this, Xie Xie didn't press the issue further.

Wei Xiaofeng, having finished his test, walked to Cheng Duoyi's side and asked: "Brother Cheng, have you guys been to the Spirit Ascension Platform before? What's it like inside? Is it spectacular?"

Cheng Duoyi said: "The air inside is very good, and there are many soul beasts and plants. I'll take you there when there's an opportunity in the future."

"Really?" Wei Xiaofeng was surprised. This was the Spirit Ascension Platform, after all; spots were hard to come by. After saying this, he felt a bit embarrassed: "I don't have many Federation Coins, but could I trade something else with you?"

"Brother Cheng, if you have any extra spots, let me have one. I'll discuss it with my family; I won't let you suffer a loss," Zhang Yangzi also said impatiently.

This was the Spirit Ascension Platform!

They couldn't go even if they wanted to, because the spots were just too scarce!

Wang Jinxi said sincerely, "Brother Cheng, I also want a spot. I won't let you suffer a loss; I will give you a fair price."

At this moment, Wu Changkong said, "Spirit power: thirty-two."

Yun Xiao felt a bit dejected, but the others paid no mind.

Cheng Duoyi looked at Yun Xiao and said, "A temporary low point doesn't mean a lifetime of failure. Keep it up."

Yun Xiao thought of cultivating his soul spirit and nodded. "Brother Cheng, I will. Thank you for helping me so much, I..."

"We're brothers, no need for words."

Yun Xiao truly didn't know how to repay Cheng Duoyi's help.

Seeing that Cheng Duoyi didn't answer about the Spirit Ascension Platform, everyone assumed he didn't have many spots either.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

How could there be that many spots to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform?

After all, there were only 1,000 spots available each month.

Wu Changkong was somewhat surprised.

"Tang Wuling, spirit power: eighty-two."

The thoughts of Xu Xiaoyan, Wang Jinxi, and the others were drawn to Tang Wuling's spirit power.

"A spirit power of eighty-two at nine years old, that's truly incredible!"

Xu Xiaoyan knew what a spirit power of eighty-two meant.

It meant that Tang Wuling's soul spirit could be fused with a thousand-year soul spirit. Even if her first soul spirit was a hundred-year one, she could upgrade it to a thousand-year one by entering the Spirit Ascension Platform!

Just think, having a thousand-year soul spirit as one's first soul ring—how stunning is that?

"Congratulations, Ling'er," Cheng Duoyi smiled. "Your spirit power has increased by a large margin; you're even closer to the Spirit Connection Realm."

"Thank you, Brother Yi'er, I will work hard!" Tang Wuling said firmly.

Everyone's gaze turned to Gu Yue.

"Gu Yue's spirit power... two hundred and ninety-nine?"

Wu Changkong was stunned. This didn't seem right.

Not long ago, Gu Yue's spirit power was only over a hundred.

Now it was about to break through to three hundred?

"Two hundred and ninety-nine? This spirit power is too strong, is this really the spirit power a nine-year-old should have?" Xu Xiaoyan exclaimed in surprise.

Thinking of herself, she only had forty-eight.

Compared to Gu Yue's two hundred and ninety-nine, the gap was truly massive.

Wei Xiaofeng and the others felt the same. Just like Tang Wuling's power, which was not something someone of their age should possess, they looked at Tang Wuling and Gu Yue with both envy and apprehension.

"Alright, the measurements are done. For the next few days, we will begin combat training," Wu Changkong said, looking at the group.

"Teacher Wu, isn't Brother Cheng testing?" Wei Xiaofeng asked.

"His situation is special; this machine cannot measure him," Wu Changkong's mouth twitched.

Cheng Duoyi's spirit power was something he didn't even dare to imagine, and it was stronger than his own. Even his physical strength was catching up to his!

Although he wasn't a power-type Soul Master, he was a genuine Six-Ring Soul Emperor. What level was Cheng Duoyi?

Level eighteen!

A One-Ring Soul Master!

Wu Changkong really didn't dare to imagine what level Cheng Duoyi would reach in the future. Would he reach the legendary god-level?

Wu Changkong was also very eager to see...

"What does that mean? Is Brother Cheng's spirit power also very strong?"

"I reckon so. I understand now; Brother Cheng didn't become the class monitor by relying on anything else, but by his own strength!"

"You're right!"

Wu Changkong led everyone to the combat arena.

Cheng Duoyi sat aside and did not join them.

Zhang Yangzi asked, "Is Brother Cheng not training with us?"

Xie Xie said proudly, "He doesn't need to, because Brother Cheng's strength is not something we can fathom."

Wei Xiaofeng and the others felt annoyed by Xie Xie's proud look.

What are you proud of?

It's not like it's you...

Hmm...

They admitted they were envious; they also wanted to be like Xie Xie and have such a good relationship with Cheng Duoyi.

Wu Changkong said, "I will use the strength of a three-ring Soul Elder. The eight of you will attack me together. Tang Wuling, you will act as the team leader."

"Three rings? Teacher Wu, isn't that unfair? We definitely won't be able to beat you," Xie Xie couldn't help but say.

Wu Changkong looked at Gu Yue and Tang Wuling, and he had to admit to himself that if he were to face the two of them using only the strength of a two-ring Soul Grand Master, winning easily would be impossible, let alone with the other six people included.

"Say another word, and I'll use four-ring strength," Wu Changkong said calmly.

Wei Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "Shut your mouth, or Teacher Wu is going to completely crush us in a moment."

Four rings!

How could they possibly win?

At the same time, Cheng Duoyi was now by Leng Xue'er's side.

Leng Xue'er generally wouldn't concern herself with how Cheng Duoyi led his teammates, and unless it was necessary, she wouldn't interfere with Wu Changkong's lectures either.

She usually just acted as Cheng Duoyi's bodyguard.

Leng Xue'er asked with confusion, "Xiaoyi, are you planning to take them with you to get into Shrek Academy?"

She didn't understand why Cheng Duoyi wanted to help people with mediocre talent, whom he had only just met, to improve together.

However, she wouldn't criticize or interfere, but she still had to ask her questions; she wanted to see what Cheng Duoyi was thinking.

Cheng Duoyi smiled and said, "That's right."

"Sister Xue'er, in the future, I will definitely have to stand on Mother's side, and I don't have many people I can use around me. If I were to deliberately seek them out, not to mention whether they would agree, even if they did, they would expose my situation, and there is a high probability that they would be undercover agents for other factions."

"But they are different. If they follow me for decades and my charisma still fails to win them over, then I wouldn't be fit to lead others in the future."

"However, I do have some confidence in my own charisma."

Leng Xue'er patted Cheng Duoyi's head.

"Yi'er has really grown up..."

She had been confused before, but now that Cheng Duoyi had explained it.

She hadn't expected Cheng Duoyi to think so far ahead.

If it were her at this age, she certainly wouldn't have reached the level Cheng Duoyi was at...
