Then is he human, or a soul beast?

"Add me as a friend, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yun Qianyue looked at Xie Xie and asked in return.

Xie Xie was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "Well... there's a lot we could talk about! For example, cultivation, or... shopping? We could go shopping together. You've been in Shrek City for so long, you must know plenty of fun places, right? We could go together."

Yun Qianyue held Yun Qianzhao's hand and shook her head, saying, "I have my brother to keep me company, I don't need you."

Gu Yue glanced at Xie Xie and said, "You'd better give it a rest. Who can't see through your little schemes?"

Xie Xie's expression turned awkward. Xu Xiaoyan, staring fixedly at Yun Qianzhao, hurriedly said, "I'm more serious than him! I really do have questions about cultivation that I'd like to ask you, Uncle Yun! Believe me!"

"My martial soul is the Star Wheel Ice Staff, and your martial soul is the Golden Sun. Both come from the power of the stars!"

Seeing that the twins remained indifferent, Gu Yue sighed and said, "Alright, both uncles have such high status and are busy with a thousand tasks; they must have a lot to do! Don't trouble them."

Her words carried a hint of sarcasm.

The twins glanced at her and chuckled. Yun Qianzhao's gaze fell on Tang Wulin, and he said to him, "Fine! Tang Wulin, let's head to the Forging District first. Let me see your forging skills!"

"Alright!"

Tang Wulin nodded, and the group headed toward the Forging District in a grand procession.

With Tang Wulin's current cultivation level, performing a level-five spirit forging was still a bit of a stretch, but under the gaze of the twins, he suddenly felt a sense that he absolutely could not fail, wanting to perform well in front of Yun Qianyue.

Tang Wulin simply attributed this feeling to the fact that he couldn't afford to fail in front of the twins and didn't think much more of it.

At this very moment, inside the Sea God Pavilion.

Elder Jin, the incarnation of the Golden Tree, sat opposite the Sky-Piercing Douluo, Yun Ming. Only the two of them were there; even Long Yeyue was absent.

"You gave the Seed of Life to Qianzhao and Qianyue? Could it be that in your eyes, they are not just ordinary children of destiny?" Yun Ming looked at Elder Jin and asked with a frown.

As the incarnation of the Golden Tree, Elder Jin's perception of the natural world of the Douluo Plane was even stronger than Yun Ming's; in this regard, he was the authority! The implication of him handing the Seed of Life to the twins was self-evident.

Could it be that in Elder Jin's eyes, besides their potential to become gods, the twins could also reverse the natural environment of the entire plane?

"Indeed, they are not ordinary children of destiny."

Elder Jin nodded. He gazed at Yun Ming and added, "Besides them, there is someone else in the academy worth noting."

"Who is it?"

Hearing this, Yun Ming asked with a frown.

Elder Jin said to him, "Tang Wulin."

Upon hearing this name, Yun Ming fell into silence.

Yun Ming was, of course, aware of this young man who had reached the level of a fifth-rank blacksmith at such a tender age and was a grand-disciple of Zhuo Shi. Although he hadn't attended the assessment that day, he had secretly observed Tang Wulin afterward.

It had to be said that all four members of Tang Wulin's group were geniuses; even by Yun Ming's standards, they were qualified.

But for Elder Jin to bring him up separately here, Tang Wulin was clearly not just the simple genius Yun Ming had assumed.

After Yun Ming voiced his question, Elder Jin nodded slightly and said to him, "Indeed, he is truly extraordinary! You must have discovered that he has Twin Martial Souls, right?"

Yun Ming nodded, and Elder Jin continued, "However, he is not just an ordinary Twin Martial Souls user! Within his body, there lies a dragon!"

"A dragon?"

Yun Ming's pupils constricted upon hearing this. Regardless of the era, dragons were synonymous with power—from the legendary Dragon God of the past to that Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Beast God Di Tian, of the present.

Even if a modern human Limit Douluo possessed powerful equipment like Four-Character Battle Armor, they had to be extremely cautious when facing the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

How old was Tang Wulin, and he had a dragon inside him?

"Could it be that his golden soul ring is..." Yun Ming suddenly realized something.

Elder Jin nodded: "Exactly! That unreasonable golden soul ring of his is the power of that dragon! He is gradually taming that dragon and making its power his own! If he succeeds, he will become a Dragon King even more powerful than the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian!"

After listening to Elder Jin's explanation, Yun Ming frowned and asked a question: "Then is he considered a human, or a soul beast?"

This question hit the nail on the head.

Elder Jin fell into silence. After a long while, he replied: "A human!"

Having received Elder Jin's answer, Yun Ming asked again: "Then, how does Elder Jin think the academy should treat him? Let him enter the inner court directly? That's not impossible; after all, he is the grand-disciple of the Red Dragon Douluo."

However, Elder Jin shook his head and said to Yun Ming, "There is no need to interfere too much with his development path! As someone favored by this plane, he will eventually grow and reach the highest realm! The only thing the academy needs to do is to deepen the relationship between him and the Sun-Moon Twins."

"Deepen the relationship between Qianzhao, Qianyue, and Tang Wulin?"

Yun Ming frowned. He looked at Elder Jin and hesitated, "May I interpret this as wanting Qianyue and Tang Wulin to be together?"

Elder Jin nodded: "Exactly! I gave the Seed of Life to the twins because the vast Sun-Moon Divine Light on them can make the power of nature more potent, but Tang Wulin is also a person favored by the plane. If they can be together, it will be of great benefit to the future of the Douluo Plane!"

"But who can say for sure when it comes to matters of the heart?"

Yun Ming shook his head, noncommittal to Elder Jin's words: "Qianyue has seen countless prodigies in the academy. If she has no feelings for Tang Wulin, forcing them together might do more harm than good. Moreover, Tang Wulin seems to like someone in his group named Gu Yue."

"That is of no concern."

Elder Jin smiled slightly and said, "We just need to create opportunities for them to be together! Those who are watched by the plane will naturally be attracted to one another!"

Looking at Elder Jin's confident smile, although Yun Ming couldn't quite describe the feeling, he ultimately nodded and said, "Very well! I will inform the other elders to arrange it as much as possible."

After ending his conversation with Elder Jin, Yun Ming walked out of the Sea God Pavilion and looked up at the sky.

Tang Wulin's identity was that of a person favored by the plane, and the Sun-Moon Twins were also certified by Elder Jin as the ones who could bring the entire natural environment of the Douluo Plane back to life.

Logically speaking, with all three of them at Shrek Academy at the same time, Yun Ming should have felt happy.

Yet, Yun Ming was plagued by an indescribable feeling, deeply worried.

Seeing his troubled expression, Ya Li asked, "Brother Yun, what is it? Did Elder Jin say something?"

Yun Ming shook his head, looked at Ya Li, and asked, "Where are Qian Zhao and Qian Yue?"

"Yue'er mentioned they went to the Forging District with Zhuo Shi's grand-disciple," Ya Li replied to Yun Ming, then frowned. "Is it about them?"
