Na'er

"Split off an avatar?" Di Tian frowned slightly. "My lord, splitting off an avatar may affect your recovery. Please allow this subordinate to handle it instead."

"No. You cannot sense the Dragon-Slaying Blade's location. I must go and find out myself."

After considering Di Tian's request, the Silver Dragon King did not agree.

In an instant, the enormous dragon body erupted with dazzling silver light. The light split apart, gradually forming a petite silver-haired girl.

"Go. Go to the human world in my place."

The little girl glanced at the silver-white dragon, then slowly turned and left.

Three days later.

Mang Village.

This village was located near the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Every year, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent one of its elders across the lake by boat to Mang Village to awaken the children's Martial Souls, recruiting children with Innate Soul Power to expand the sect's number of disciples.

This year was no exception. As soon as Fourth Elder Yu Luocheng arrived at the village, Village Chief Li Youtian was already waiting at the entrance, welcoming him warmly.

"Elder, you're here."

Yu Luocheng glanced at Li Youtian and casually asked, "How many children are of age this year?"

"There are thirteen children this year. Elder, please come in." Li Youtian plastered a fawning smile across his face and respectfully led the way.

With his hands behind his back, Yu Luocheng followed Li Youtian into a small wooden house.

The wooden house was roughly fifty or sixty square meters. It was spacious and very tidy inside.

Li Youtian called the children into the house one after another. Among the crowd was a silver-haired little girl. Her hair color was rare, and her exquisite features made her stand out like a crane among chickens.

Yu Luocheng noticed her at first glance. "Whose child is this?"

Li Youtian smiled obsequiously. "Elder, this child wandered into Mang Village three days ago. We haven't been able to find out who her parents are."

"When we asked her name and age, the little girl said her name was Na'er and that she was six this year."

"Na'er?" Yu Luocheng muttered, then said softly, "Since she happens to be six, let her awaken her Martial Soul as well. Old Li, go out first."

After dismissing Li Youtian, Yu Luocheng had the thirteen children stand in a line and step forward one by one to awaken their Martial Souls.

"Crayfish. No Soul Power. Next."

"Blue Silver Grass. No Soul Power. Next."

"Frozen Fish. Innate Soul Power Rank Three. Frozen Fish actually has Innate Soul Power. What's your name?"

Yu Luocheng lowered his head to look at the child before him. The child had a roguish look and somewhat resembled Village Chief Li Youtian.

"Elder, my name is Li Hongwei. I'm the village chief's son."

Upon hearing that he possessed Innate Soul Power, the child immediately flushed red with excitement and eagerly answered Yu Luocheng.

"So you're Old Li's son. Stand to the side first."

Yu Luocheng nodded slightly and pointed to the side before continuing to awaken the remaining children's Martial Souls.

When it was finally Na'er's turn, the awakening formation erupted with dazzling light, and a silver spear appeared in Na'er's hand.

The spear was over twelve feet long and extremely slender. Fine silver scales covered its thin shaft, each one hexagonal in shape.

"This is... a spear Martial Soul."

Yu Luocheng raised his brows. The awakening had caused quite a commotion just now, so this Martial Soul was likely powerful. He hurriedly handed her a crystal ball. "Child, place your hand on it and test your Innate Soul Power."

Na'er blinked and innocently stretched out her hand.

The crystal ball instantly erupted with dazzling light.

"This is... Innate Full Soul Power!" Yu Luocheng's eyes lit up as he said excitedly, "Little girl, what is your Martial Soul called?"

"Silver Dragon Spear." Na'er lowered her head slightly and answered softly.

"Silver Dragon Spear... Could it be related to a silver dragon?" Yu Luocheng's pupils contracted as he muttered under his breath.

Their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also had records concerning the dragon race.

The Dragon God had split apart, becoming a golden dragon and a silver dragon. The two had respectively inherited the Dragon God's physical strength and spiritual power.

They were also known as the purest-blooded and most powerful dragons.

Since this spear was called the Silver Dragon Spear, perhaps it had received the silver dragon's blessing.

At that thought, Yu Luocheng's eyes gleamed. He asked eagerly, "Little girl, are you willing to join our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Na'er instinctively took two steps back, fear showing on her face.

"Don't be afraid. Uncle won't hit you." Yu Luocheng was somewhat embarrassed and said gently, "Come back to the sect with me. Someone will properly nurture you, and no one will dare hurt you."

Na'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly.

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Yu Luocheng brought Na'er to the sect's main hall and bowed as he reported, "Sect Master, good news! While awakening Martial Souls in a nearby village this year, I found an exceptionally promising child!"

Yu Yuanzhen raised his brows and asked, "What kind of promising child?"

"A little girl with Innate Full Soul Power. Her name is Na'er, and her Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon Spear. She is extraordinarily gifted." Yu Luocheng smiled.

Yu Yuanzhen was overjoyed. "Innate Full Soul Power? Excellent! Issue the order immediately—make this little girl a direct-line disciple as an exception!"

Normally, only clansmen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who awakened powerful Martial Souls were qualified to become direct-line disciples. Even Yu Xiaogang had not been qualified to become one.

But rules were rigid while people were flexible. To avoid disappointing a genius, it was necessary to make an exception and accept her as a direct-line disciple. It would also let Na'er know just how highly the sect valued her!

Yu Luocheng nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll go find Na'er now."

Before they knew it, two days had passed.

Na'er had been exceptionally promoted to a direct-line disciple, and Yu Mingxiao learned of the matter during a casual conversation with his father.

"Our sect recruited a disciple named Na'er, whose Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon Spear?" Yu Mingxiao suppressed his shock and asked calmly.

"Yes. I went to see that Na'er. She truly is a fine child with outstanding talent." Yu Yuanzhen smiled.

Yu Mingxiao hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "Father, where is Na'er? I'd like to meet her too."

Her name was Na'er, and her Martial Soul was the Silver Dragon Spear. If he remembered correctly, wasn't she one half of the Silver Dragon King?

She had appeared in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for no apparent reason. There was likely no reason other than the Dragon-Slaying Blade.

If she merely wanted the Dragon-Slaying Blade back, that would be one thing. But if she attacked him or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then with the Silver Dragon King's strength, the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would be destroyed in an instant.

She was a ticking time bomb!

"You want to see Na'er?" Yu Yuanzhen was slightly stunned. Assuming that his son was simply interested in this Innate Full Soul Power genius, he smiled. "I'll have someone summon her at once."

After receiving the summons, Na'er quickly arrived at the Sect Master Mansion.

"Na'er is here. Sit down, don't be nervous." With a smile on his face, Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly invited her to sit beside Yu Mingxiao.

Na'er nodded lightly and sat down as instructed.

Yu Mingxiao quietly observed the girl before him. She had short silver-white hair and delicate, doll-like features, like a porcelain doll.

That's right. This was Gu Yuena!
