The Golden Dragon King: Our Minds Are One

"Student Wang, that seat is already taken. Please do not do anything that would make Xiao Qian uncomfortable."

Tang Wulin tapped the table, expressing his dissatisfaction with Wang Jinxi's attempt to sit next to Qian Jue.

In truth, he wanted that seat himself...

But unfortunately, the girl named Gu Yue would never give it up.

Even though she was Qian Jue's senior sister, why was she so plain-looking? Aside from her temperament, she had no redeeming qualities.

Did someone like that really deserve to stay by Qian Jue's side?

She was only a tiny bit stronger than him; if he could become more powerful, could he take her place?

Tang Wulin sighed, a conflicted emotion stirring in his heart.

I'm sorry, Mother. This is the first time I've ever harbored malice toward a girl. Please forgive me.

Wang Jinxi scratched his head in embarrassment, only then noticing Zhang Yangzi standing beside him with a look of utter displeasure on his face.

"Old Zhang, what's wrong? That expression is terrifying."

"It's nothing. I just suddenly feel that our nine-year friendship isn't worth much."

Zhang Yangzi sighed and sat in an empty seat, waiting for Wu Zhangkong to begin the lecture.

When would this blockheaded brother of his ever show a glimmer of intelligence?

Qian Jue sat on the other side, curiously observing the interaction between the two.

For some reason, he felt a faint aura of the Bashu region emanating from Wang Jinxi and his companion.

Perhaps it was their martial soul fusion skill that had brought them so close, combined with the fact that they had grown up together.

In the original story, Wang Jinxi had resisted the temptation of his martial soul's evolution and voluntarily withdrew from Zero Class just so he could continue performing the martial soul fusion skill with Zhang Yangzi.

To outsiders, this seemed like an act of self-destruction, especially since Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others who followed Tang Wulin eventually became Sea God Pavilion elders—true god-level powerhouses.

But this was the Douluo Continent, where matters of the heart came first.

Brotherhood was a bond too, wasn't it? Otherwise, what would that make Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin?

Gu Yue arrived late; she had been cultivating with Qian Jue last night and had fallen asleep because it was too comfortable.

Qian Jue hadn't the heart to disturb her, so he let her sleep a little longer.

As soon as she entered, she spotted the two newcomers in the class.

Ignoring Zhang Yangzi entirely, Gu Yue's gaze fell upon Wang Jinxi.

"The Bone Dragon King? Hmph, merely the king of a minor branch; not worth worrying about." Gu Yue quickly assessed him.

Wang Jinxi's threat level was on par with Xie Xie's; he wasn't worth her attention.

Tang Wulin, however, was a different story. He was worthy of being the host of the Golden Dragon King's origin, having managed to cultivate with Qian Jue to such an extent last night.

But considering that he could provide blood essence to Qian Jue and increase his physical strength, Gu Yue wouldn't move against Tang Wulin for the time being.

Gu Yue walked over to Qian Jue, glanced at Tang Wulin on the other side, curled her lips slightly, and puffed out her non-existent chest.

Even if Tang Wulin was the Golden Dragon King reborn, so what?

She was a female dragon.

And Qian Jue was a little male dragon.

Compared to the other dragon-type soul masters in this class, she had already won at the starting line.

When the bell rang, Wu Zhangkong walked into the classroom. Seeing that Xie Xie was missing, he asked:

"Tang Wulin, where is Xie Xie?"

"Reporting to the teacher, Xie Xie went home last night. He asked me to request leave on his behalf."

Wu Zhangkong nodded. Xie Xie's initial soul power was high enough that missing a day or two of class wouldn't matter.

"Class begins!"

The morning theory lesson flew by. Wu Zhangkong's explanations were clear and concise, and Qian Jue understood everything after listening for only a short while.

Wu Zhangkong did not have them participate in the afternoon's physical training session.

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude was an important principle, one that every teacher should possess.

Wu Zhangkong had the other students perform their routine running drills, then led the group to a silver room within the academy that felt highly technological.

"Because of the unique nature of Qian Jue's martial soul, your joint cultivation may produce unexpected changes. I need to record your initial data now. We will conduct a second test after some time has passed."

Wu Zhangkong's eyes were bright.

He was looking forward to the surprises this group of little monsters would bring.

Especially Qian Jue; he had experienced the Dragon Rising Pillar's amplification of dragon-attribute soul masters firsthand.

First up were Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi.

"25, 30 points."

"500,450 kilograms."

The spiritual power and strength values were both normal, showing no obvious increase.

After all, the two had only transferred into the class today and had not yet officially cultivated with Qian Jue.

"Next, Tang Wulin."

After Wu Zhangkong called his name, Tang Wulin reluctantly walked away from Qian Jue's side and came before the testing instrument.

"71 points!"

Wu Zhangkong rubbed his eyes, looking at the value on the instrument in disbelief.

During the entrance exam, Tang Wulin's spiritual power had only been a little over forty. How could it have increased so much after just one night of cultivation?

Tang Wulin also noticed his spiritual power value and hurriedly cast a grateful look toward Qian Jue.

Lord Xiao Qian, I adore you!

While cultivating yesterday, Tang Wulin could clearly feel his spirit being relaxed, and the ferocity belonging to the Golden Dragon King within his bloodline was neutralized, which in turn fed back into his spiritual power.

"Continue with the strength test."

Tang Wulin went to another instrument, took a deep breath, and then threw a punch with all his might.

"Bang!"

A loud noise echoed through the testing room, and the value on the instrument surged directly to 1,700 kilograms.

Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi were left completely stunned.

They had always felt that the only people in Class Five worth paying attention to were Qian Jue, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue.

As for the class monitor Tang Wulin, a small fry with a ten-year soul ring and only level 11 soul power, they had heard his martial soul had mutated, but how strong could a mutated Blue Silver Grass really be?

Looking at it now, was this guy's martial soul really Blue Silver Grass?

Wu Zhangkong was also stunned, but he quickly returned to his calm self and silently recorded the strength value.

What a little monster.

On the other side, Tang Wulin exhaled and turned back to see Qian Jue's gratified gaze.

"Brother Wulin is doing very well."

Thump.

Having read the lip-reading, Tang Wulin felt his heart skip a beat.

Is Xiao Qian happy for me?

A surge of motivation suddenly welled up in his heart; he wanted to do even better and make Qian Jue look at him with new eyes.

Golden Dragon King, Tang Wulin.

Let our wills become one!

Wu Zhangkong suddenly sensed something was wrong. Why had the aura on Tang Wulin's body suddenly surged by such a large margin?

At this moment, Tang Wulin only felt that something deep within his body had shattered.

Then, power came surging up.

"Teacher, the strength test isn't over yet; this isn't my limit."

"Are you sure you're okay?"

Tang Wulin nodded, his skin turning red all over. He needed a way to vent the excess power right now.

Wu Zhangkong agreed to the request to continue the test.

He also wanted to see where Tang Wulin's limits lay.

The next second, in the eyes of everyone, a golden light flashed. A layer of dragon scales covered Tang Wulin's right hand, and it actually transformed into a massive dragon claw.

Boom!

6,800 kilograms!

The value on the instrument shocked everyone except for Qian Jue and Gu Yue.

Unlike the surprise felt by Wu Zhangkong and the others, Qian Jue was mostly confused.

Tang Wulin clearly hadn't unlocked the first seal yet, so how had he managed to bring out the Golden Dragon Claw?

Could it be because of him?
