Bodyguard? First Meeting with Xie Xie

But for now, it was more than enough.

Watching the little black dog before him begin to change, its black fur took on an oily, lustrous sheen, while its eyes turned a deep, blood-red.

Within those pupils, a mixture of clarity and madness slowly began to intertwine.

Looking at the little black dog, now altered by bloodline genetics, a trace of satisfaction appeared on Li Ang's face.

As he crushed the Soul Spirit Ball, a pale yellow Soul Ring slowly emerged from its body.

Deep within that yellow Soul Ring, Li Ang chose a trait that belonged to him alone.

This trait was Elemental Affinity.

His affinity for all elemental forces in the surroundings was 200%.

When encountering elemental-type Martial Souls, their elemental affinity would be far inferior to his, or rather, the elemental power they could wield would be no match for his.

With the effect of Elemental Affinity, his mastery over the Geo element would be significantly enhanced, potentially reaching an incredibly formidable level.

However, that was not the most critical part.

Li Ang looked ahead, where a small black dog had appeared.

The little black dog licked its tongue gently, looking at Li Ang with intelligent, lively eyes.

"Not bad. It possesses innate intelligence, can understand human speech, and is already equivalent to a century-old Soul Beast."

Li Ang said, a hint of satisfaction on his face.

With this little black dog acting as his bodyguard in the early stages, as long as he could quickly raise its strength to the millennium or ten-thousand-year level, he could rest easy during his early development.

By then, anyone who wanted to fight him would have to get past his little black dog first.

And by the time they could defeat the little black dog, they would be facing Li Ang, who possessed the Geo Archon Rex Lapis template and whose Martial Soul was Douluo Planet itself.

That would be truly satisfying.

As Li Ang walked out, a gentle smile graced Ming Yue's face.

She did not ask what he had chosen, nor did she pry too deeply; she simply led Li Ang to the underground training room.

This was a place for training and testing strength.

As Li Ang threw a punch, the figure of 873kg was clearly imprinted before everyone's eyes.

Seeing this physical quality, even Ming Yue was stunned; one had to remember that the person before her was only a six-year-old boy.

Yet, his strength had already reached nearly a ton.

In other words, a six-year-old child could send a car flying with a single punch.

This raw power had reached a terrifying, unimaginable level.

While Ming Yue might not fully grasp it, Li Ang knew his own situation.

His strength was terrifying, and his defensive capabilities were equally formidable.

Not to mention the Jade Shield, even on his own, he felt like a humanoid tyrannosaurus.

Furthermore, as the planet continuously provided him with power, his body was evolving at every moment.

The Geo Archon Rex Lapis template seemed to be absorbing this energy, causing his body to grow ever closer to that of the Geo Archon.

At the same time, it was constantly infecting the planet, causing the Geo elements within the planet to continuously rise or be filtered.

Anyone who has played Genshin Impact knows that before Zhongli became the Geo Archon Rex Lapis, his identity was the Geo Traveler Star.

Although he might have had a higher status, the identity of the Geo Traveler Star was unavoidable.

Even in a world like Teyvat, suppressed by the Heavenly Principles, he was still able to become an existence like the Geo Traveler Star.

Now, placed on Douluo Continent, even just his base physical template was enough to make Li Ang unimaginably terrifying.

The entire Douluo Planet itself began to evolve silently under Li Ang's influence.

This evolution might be subtle, but one thing was clear: Geo-elemental creatures, Martial Souls, and Soul Beasts were about to enter a period of version dominance.

This was the version shift that Douluo Continent was about to face.

Yet, at this moment, no one realized this shift, nor did they realize what a massive impact Li Ang's appearance would have on the entire Douluo Planet.

Li Ang's strength had reached over 800 kilograms, and Ming Yue soon reported this to Shen Ming.

Upon seeing the data, Shen Ming was also left in a state of bewilderment.

One had to know that this level of strength was usually only seen in three-ring or four-ring power-type Soul Masters.

This strength was already terrifying; with such power, any one-ring or two-ring Soul Master would only be asking for a beating if they encountered Li Ang.

Therefore, Shen Ming took this matter very seriously and began to arrange for tutors for Li Ang.

He hired teachers specialized in physical training to help him improve his body.

With the arrival of the next day, Li Ang officially began school.

There was not much to say about Eastsea Primary Academy; after all, it was the best academy in Eastsea City.

After Ming Yue accompanied him for breakfast in the morning, Li Ang took a car to Eastsea Academy.

Eastsea Primary Academy is the finest among all primary-level institutions.

Its status differs from Eastsea Academy; while the latter has peers that can compare, Eastsea Primary Academy stands unrivaled as the best of its kind.

After bidding farewell to the driver and Ming Yue, Li Ang entered the classroom.

Because arrangements had been made in advance, Li Ang began his lessons as soon as he arrived.

He was assigned to Class One, where he recognized no one, so he simply found a seat and sat down.

A female teacher walked in shortly after, appearing to be around thirty years old.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Yue, and you may call me Teacher Yun. I will be responsible for you all for the next three years."

"Since you have made it into the elite class at Eastsea Academy, your strength must be quite impressive. Now, please introduce yourselves!"

Yun Yue scanned the room as she spoke, her gaze eventually landing on the back row, where a golden-haired boy sat.

As she pointed toward him, the golden-haired boy paused for a brief moment before standing up with calm composure.

"Hello, Teacher. My name is Xie Xie. The first 'Xie' is the 'xie' from 'thank you,' and the second 'Xie' is the 'xie' from 'encounter'."

Xie Xie paused after saying this, and many of the surrounding students looked at him with curious eyes.

After all, the name "Xie Xie" sounded almost identical to the word "thank you," which struck many as rather amusing.

However, before anyone could laugh, they felt Xie Xie's cold gaze sweep across the room.

"I possess Twin Martial Souls. My martial souls are the Light and Dark Twin Dragon Daggers, and I have Innate Full Soul Power."

Xie Xie's voice remained calm as he spoke.

But as his words fell, the students who had been looking at him with curiosity suddenly turned their heads away.

This is the Douluo World, and even these six-year-old children know a great deal.

They understood exactly what kind of genius someone with Innate Full Soul Power truly was.

Seeing that no one was looking at him anymore, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Xie Xie's face.

Yet, just as he was about to sit down, he noticed a boy staring straight at him.

Li Ang was currently fixated on Xie Xie, observing his slightly chubby face, which didn't seem to match the image of a dashing, handsome youth.

He was clearly a bit confused, as he recalled the original story—or rather, the first time Tang Wulin met Xie Xie.

Li Ang had also expected some special plot twist, like a girl disguised as a boy.

But it was later proven that this guy Xie Xie was simply handsome, with a talent for being hilarious.

He liked to follow the two Dragon Kings around, happily serving as their lackey.

In short, whoever designed this little guy certainly made him quite interesting.
