Unconcealed Killing Intent

If the crystal in his hand had not already correctly tested the six of them earlier, he would have even suspected that there was something wrong with the crystal ball.

"Gulp." Everyone swallowed.

"Innate Soul Power at level twenty? Is that real?"

"I may not be educated, but don't try to fool me!"

"Elder Xiong, did you make a mistake? Innate Soul Power can at most be full Soul Power, which is level ten at birth. When has Innate Soul Power at level twenty ever appeared?" Ji Changying had also risen from her seat in shock.

"That's right! I've never heard of Innate Soul Power at level twenty."

"Could the crystal ball be broken?"

"That's possible!"

Following Ji Changying's words, everyone present could not help but question it. After all, let alone seeing Innate Soul Power at level twenty, they had never even heard of it.

"How could there not be? Just because you don't know about it only shows how ignorant you are! Hmph!" Wang Lixiong snorted coldly after being questioned.

"The Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel martial soul awakens with level twenty Soul Power. The former Pope, Qian Xunji, possessed the Six-Winged Angel martial soul! There can be no mistake."

"Spirit Hall? Six-Winged Angel martial soul? The Pope?"

Everyone was shocked once again.

"Will our clan produce a Pope-level powerhouse in the near future as well?"

"A Title Douluo?"

Innate Soul Power at level twenty shocked not only the others, but also filled Wang Sheng's heart with astonishment. At the same time, though, he could only smile bitterly, because he could feel that the killing intent emanating from the clan matriarch was almost completely undisguised.

Yet amid their shock, not a single person noticed it.

Thus, Wang Sheng could only wear a foolish grin, as though the sudden delight had stunned him silly.

"You don't believe me, do you? Dong'er, come up here!"

To prove his words, Wang Lixiong called Wang Dong'er over.

Wang Dong'er understood what he meant and placed her hand on the crystal ball once more.

At once, everyone's gaze fell upon the crystal ball, and the result soon appeared.

"It's still level nine at birth!"

"Just like before."

"Then that proves it all. Wang Sheng's Innate Soul Power at level twenty is real."

"Wonderful! Our Explosive Bear Clan will finally produce a Title Douluo!"

"Will a place among the Seven Sects still be far away?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone wore smiles, because the emergence of such a heaven-defying genius in the clan would bring them enormous benefits once he grew up.

Wang Dong'er looked at Wang Sheng, tilted her little head, and thought, Is this guy a monster?

But seeing Wang Sheng grinning foolishly without pause, she could not help muttering, "He's just a little stupid."

Seeing the regretful look on the little girl's face, Wang Sheng nearly burst out laughing. If I didn't act a little stupid, do you think this Young Master would survive the night?

"Good, good, good! Our Explosive Bear Clan has finally produced a peerless genius." Ji Changying's face was filled with delight, with not the slightest trace of her earlier killing intent.

Yet Wang Sheng did not dare relax in the slightest and continued grinning foolishly.

"Sheng'er, come here!"

Still grinning stupidly, Wang Sheng immediately ran over and respectfully said, "Yes, Mother!"

Ji Changying was his father's legal wife, so no matter how unwilling he was, he still had to address her that way.

"I truly never expected your talent to be so outstanding, Sheng'er!"

Ji Changying first praised him, then handed him something as she continued, "This is your reward."

"This is?" Wang Sheng looked confused, but he still accepted it.

Wang Sheng did not recognize it, but that did not mean others did. Wang Lixiong, standing nearby, cried out in shock, "A Spirit Bone?"

"That's right. Sheng'er's talent is worthy of our full support with this Spirit Bone."

"The clan matriarch is wise!"

Wang Lixiong respectfully bowed.

Everyone present followed suit. "The clan matriarch is wise!"

"I merely did what I should have done. How could I deserve the word 'wise'?" Ji Changying looked modest, but inwardly she sneered.

What belongs to me, Ji Changying, is not so easy to take.

In her eyes, Wang Sheng was already a dead man.

However, what surprised her was that today's actions had changed Wang Lixiong's attitude. With the clan chief away, Wang Lixiong had always objected to her holding power.

Her heart stirred, and she beckoned to Wang Dong'er. "Dong'er, come here as well!"

Though Wang Dong'er did not understand, she still walked over.

Ji Changying then handed over another item, saying with a kind smile, "Dong'er, although your talent is not as great as Sheng'er's, it is still exceedingly rare. This Spirit Bone is for you."

Wang Dong'er was overjoyed. As a clan disciple, she naturally understood the value of Spirit Bones. She had been somewhat envious of Wang Sheng earlier, never expecting that she too would receive one.

Wang Lixiong was equally delighted and immediately said, "Thank you, Madam!"

Wang Dong'er's mother immediately pulled Wang Dong'er along, and the two said together, "Thank you, Madam, for thinking so highly of Dong'er. Should you have any orders in the future, we will certainly give our all."

Wang Lixiong frowned upon hearing that, because those words carried a hint of taking sides and were somewhat inappropriate. However, he said nothing.

Ji Changying naturally saw this, and the smile on her face grew even brighter. She had managed to win Wang Lixiong over. If she cultivated this relationship properly, she would surely draw him completely to her side.

Moreover, Wang Dong'er's talent was extraordinary as well. If she married Dong'er to her son in the future, Dong'er would definitely become a great source of support for him. At that thought, the way Ji Changying looked at Dong'er changed somewhat.

What deep scheming! What a grand gesture! Two Spirit Bones at once—those were probably the clan's only remaining stock!

As the saying went, those involved could not see clearly, while onlookers saw everything.

Wang Sheng, who had been observing everything from the sidelines, felt even more uneasy. Ji Changying valued him so highly that even if something happened to him afterward, no one would suspect her.

After all, everyone knew how precious Spirit Bones were.

And giving Wang Dong'er a Spirit Bone was likely meant to win her over while also displaying Ji Changying's regard for the clan's geniuses. That would make people even less likely to suspect her.

"Elder Xiong, since Sheng'er already has level twenty Soul Power, he can immediately obtain two soul rings. It so happens that some clan members will be obtaining soul rings tomorrow. Why not have you take the two of them along?"

Ji Changying looked as though she were thinking entirely for Wang Sheng's sake, without leaving the slightest flaw for anyone to find.

"Fine! I'll definitely find two exceptionally powerful soul rings! Otherwise, I would be letting down our genius, hahaha!" Wang Lixiong was also greatly looking forward to what soul skills Wang Sheng would acquire, so he agreed readily.

"Thank you, Mother. Thank you, Elder Xiong!" Wang Sheng immediately replied obediently.

To be honest, he was a little impatient as well. Once he obtained soul rings, not only could his cultivation technique break through, but he could also gain Soul Hold soul rings and refine the Spirit Bone in his hand.
