After saying that, Lin Tian took Na'er by the hand and walked away without looking back.
Before long, Lin Tian arrived at the luxurious hotel Han Tianxin had prepared for Han Tianyi and Leng Yaozhu. He walked straight inside.
At that moment, Han Tianyi was sitting with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing, while Leng Yaozhu paced back and forth nearby.
They had only arrived a little before Lin Tian returned, and Leng Yaozhu was deliberately acting as though she were very busy.
Earlier, she had only seen Na'er from a distance. Now that she was seeing her up close, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Well, who's this adorable little girl? She's so pretty and well-behaved."
She looked Na'er up and down, liking her more with every glance. Then she turned to Lin Tian and pinched his cheek. "Kid, you're ridiculously lucky to have stumbled upon such a little treasure.
"This is the younger sister you told me about, Na'er?"
"Mm, this is Na'er." Lin Tian nodded and drew her closer to his side before introducing them. "This is my teacher, Han Tianyi, and this is Tower Master Leng Yaozhu."
Na'er glanced timidly at the two of them. Feeling the powerful yet friendly auras they gave off, she spoke softly. "Hello, Teacher Han. Hello, Tower Master Leng Yaozhu."
"What a good girl." Leng Yaozhu's heart melted. She couldn't help crouching down, wanting to pat Na'er's head. "Little Na, I heard you've lost your memory. You don't remember your family or where you live?"
Na'er shook her head, then nodded, her gaze dimming. "I don't remember. I don't remember anything. I only know that I'm with my brother."
In truth, Na'er knew by now. Gu Yue had explained everything to her over the past few days, but she refused to accept it. Gu Yue had also stressed that she must never reveal any information about herself to outsiders, or it could lead to even greater trouble.
So Na'er stuck to the same story as before.
Seeing Na'er like this, Leng Yaozhu felt even more protective of her. "Poor thing. You haven't had your Martial Soul tested yet, have you? How about Auntie tests your Martial Soul and Soul Power to see if you have any talent for cultivation?"
Standing nearby, Lin Tian heard her and thought, Go ahead. This is the perfect chance for you to see the first person on the continent with no Martial Soul.
He knew very well that Na'er in the original story had no Martial Soul. After all, she was a split-off entity of the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena. Even her Silver Dragon Spear Martial Soul had been separated from Gu Yuena and given to her. Na'er herself had no Martial Soul.
Ah, no, that was wrong. He'd remembered incorrectly. This was Gu Yuena. He kept getting them mixed up. This was the Silver Dragon King's true form, and she hadn't split apart yet. Her Martial Soul was simply too powerful. It was mainly because Na'er had lost her memory that she couldn't awaken it.
He was already looking forward to the shocked expressions on his teacher's and Leng Yaozhu's faces.
The Storage Soul Tool in Leng Yaozhu's hand shimmered faintly. Soon, a Martial Soul Awakening Stone and a blue crystal ball appeared in her hand, floating quietly in the air.
In the blink of an eye, Leng Yaozhu had set up the Martial Soul Awakening ritual.
"Na'er, stand in the middle of this magic circle and close your eyes. Just don't think about anything."
Na'er did as she was told, obediently taking her place in the center.
The instant she stepped into the awakening circle, something extraordinary happened. Brilliant light burst from her chest, followed by a dazzling silver radiance that swept through the entire room.
Lin Tian's pupils suddenly contracted, and the composure on his face gave way to shock. This is what it looks like when a Martial Soul awakens. No way—wasn't she supposed to have no Martial Soul? How did she suddenly awaken one?
Once the flash of white light faded, Na'er's Martial Soul appeared on her body.
At that moment, pieces of silver armor gathered in the light and slowly fitted themselves over her petite frame: dragon arm guards, silver pauldrons, delicate gauntlets, and a fitted battle skirt. A complete suit of Silver Dragon Armor took shape, covering her from head to toe and leaving only her exquisitely delicate face exposed.
Her hair was swept up high beneath a black crown, and a pair of small, exquisite silver dragon horns appeared on either side of her head, radiating a faint silver glow.
At the same time, she slowly raised her right hand, and an exquisitely shaped Silver Dragon Spear materialized out of thin air. Cold silver light flowed along its shaft, its tip pointing toward the heavens. The pressure of a top-tier Soul Beast spread through the room—a supreme draconic majesty that made Han Tianyi and Leng Yaozhu narrow their eyes.
"What an incredible aura." A hint of admiration flashed in Han Tianyi's eyes. "This Martial Soul is no ordinary one. It contains a rich dragon bloodline, and it's a complete set of armor and weapon in one. Extremely rare."
Leng Yaozhu was even more delighted. She grabbed Na'er's other hand and pressed it against the blue crystal ball.
The moment Na'er rested her hand on it, the crystal ball shone with brilliant blue light. She had Innate Full Soul Power.
"A top-tier Martial Soul and Innate Full Soul Power. She's a peerless genius!"
Leng Yaozhu's voice trembled with excitement. She swept Na'er into her arms, and the surging waves of her bosom made Na'er instinctively tense up, leaving her a little short of breath.
"Sweetheart, from today on, you're going to be my disciple. I'll make sure you become one of the most powerful Soul Masters on the continent. Call me Teacher!"
Na'er was at a loss. She immediately looked toward Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was so stunned that his mouth hung open. What kind of Martial Soul is this?
Wait, that's not right. In the original story, Na'er's Martial Soul was clearly the Silver Dragon Spear. How come she has a whole suit of Silver Dragon Armor as well as the Silver Dragon Spear?
Is this a Martial Soul Mutation, or did it evolve? And turning Soul Beast scales into armor is pretty common, isn't it?
The Silver Dragon King is in her true form right now. Could this be her dragon scales? They've just taken the form of armor. If that's really the case, she'd be invincible. Wouldn't that make this a god-level Martial Soul? Pretty amazing.
It's just that Leng Yaozhu actually wants to take Na'er as her disciple.
If it were Gu Yue, fine. But this is Na'er. I can't let Leng Yaozhu spoil her.
No way!
Lin Tian immediately stepped forward, wanting to pull Na'er back. "She's my younger sister. She doesn't need to become anyone else's disciple. Elder Han is already my teacher, so one teacher between us is enough."
"Oh, but it's different." Leng Yaozhu clung tightly to Na'er and refused to let go, saying stubbornly, "You can learn spiritual power and the Body Martial Soul from Elder Han, while Na'er can learn offensive combat and Battle Armor from me. We can split things up and make both of you stronger.
"I promise I'll make sure she grows up healthy, pretty, and strong. I absolutely won't let her be mistreated."
Lin Tian was about to argue, but then he saw Leng Yaozhu wink at him while continuing to hold Na'er close. Her voice grew even gentler.
"Little Na'er, would you like to be my disciple? I'll buy you lots of delicious treats and pretty dresses and clothes. And I'll take good care of your brother, too, so he'll have the support of two powerful people."
