"Father, if you wish, I can use my divine authority to trace things back to their origin. Perhaps that could achieve a form of martial soul mutation by another means."
"Oh? You can do something like that?" Qian Jue asked curiously.
Shu's voice rang out in his mind. "With my current strength, I still cannot interfere with the flow of time across all of Douluo Planet. The passage of time has taken away my origin power. But if it is limited to one or two objects, that will not be a problem."
"Of course, as your strength increases, both the quantity and quality of the objects I can affect will increase as well."
The moment Qian Jue heard Shu say that, his interest was immediately piqued.
If the origin of martial souls truly had something to do with the dragon race, then this method of suppression of his might no longer be limited to Soul Masters with beast martial souls or tool martial souls that possessed obvious dragon attributes.
If that were the case, then he, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin would truly become the ultimate answer to this era.
Just imagine it: in battle, Qian Jue used Origin Regression on an opponent, causing their martial soul to undergo a draconic mutation.
Generally speaking, dragon bloodlines brought improvement. Whether it was physical strength or spiritual power, anything connected to dragons was stronger than ordinary beast martial souls.
Once the dragon bloodline within their body was activated, the opponent would think they had been strengthened.
But their martial soul had originally been unaffected by the bloodline suppression of the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings and Qian Jue. Now that it had transformed into a dragon, the suppression would instantly be maxed out.
It truly confirmed the saying: "Time is king, space is supreme. When destiny does not appear, karma reigns emperor."
If he had mastered more power related to time, space, and karma back then, he would not have been so grievously wounded by the Phoenix God King with the Divine Spark of Creation that he was left on the brink of death.
Come to think of it, how had Shu, who had already become the Time-Space Dragon King, been killed?
Qian Jue wondered inwardly.
At that moment, the Dragon God's divine soul hiding within the Coiling Dragon Staff was drenched in cold sweat.
Yet It did not dare show Itself. Even though Shu had forgotten It, her remaining soul fragments still recognized only Qian Jue.
"Damn main body... Please reincarnate successfully soon and come atone for your sins."
The Dragon God's divine soul prayed silently in Its heart.
Meanwhile, Qian Jue was still thinking. Was the Tri-Realm Judgment Sword formed by Asura and the others really that absurdly powerful?
It seemed that before the God Realm returned, he had to raise his strength to the absolute limit. God King level was nowhere near enough; at the very least, he needed to reach Supreme God King level before he could defeat Tang San and the others, right?
Although Qian Jue had not read Ultimate Douluo before his transmigration and did not know much about the later developments or additional settings, he had still heard some rumors. At the very least, he knew Tang San would create something called the Great God Circle, use all the previous protagonists as stepping stones, and then take them in as his underlings.
His appearance was an anomaly. It would undoubtedly affect and interfere with Tang San's ten-thousand-year plan.
When Tang San returned, even if he did not make a move against him immediately on the surface, who could guarantee he would not do so later?
Asking him to gamble on Tang San's character was worse than buying scratch tickets at the school gates.
"Xu Xiaoyan, how about I call you Xiaoyan from now on?"
"Okay, Captain! ヽ( ̄▽ ̄)و!"
Xu Xiaoyan smiled radiantly, beautiful and captivating like a pearl in the night sky.
After confirming that her captain was an adorable little boy with a good, gentle temperament, Xu Xiaoyan had already let go of her earlier restraint.
It would not be appropriate to remain so distant at this point.
"Then it's settled, Xiaoyan."
Gu Yue and Na'er, standing nearby, were slightly displeased by the way Qian Jue addressed Xu Xiaoyan. Tang Wulin, on the other hand, was quite happy to see Xu Xiaoyan growing closer to their captain.
Over the past half year, Old Tang had been gone for a long time.
Instead, it was the Golden Dragon King sealed within his body who had tirelessly taught him how to control his blood essence and use the circulation of his blood essence to aid his meditation and cultivation.
That attentive, meticulous feeling reminded Tang Wulin of his missing parents.
For a time, he felt that Old Tang had exaggerated.
The Golden Dragon King was actually a very nice person. He was not that insane or terrible, was he?
"Captain, you call me Xiaoyan. Then how should I address Sister Gu Yue and Sister Na'er?"
Xu Xiaoyan had followed her father since childhood and met all sorts of people from political and business circles. Her ability to read people and her emotional intelligence were truly exceptional.
"Gu Yue is my senior sister, so of course I call her Senior Sister."
As Qian Jue spoke, he glanced at Na'er. The words that had reached his lips were swallowed back. "Na'er and I are childhood sweethearts, and she is a little older than me, so of course I call her Sister Na'er."
He had actually wanted to say fiancée just now. After all, Qiangu Dieyan approved of this marriage, especially after learning that Na'er was Yun Ming's adopted daughter and disciple.
His maternal grandfather had even wanted to bring Qiangu Dongfeng and his paternal grandfather to Shrek to propose marriage.
Of course, the few of them eventually calmed down. At such a critical moment, there was no need to provoke Yun Ming.
The three of them planned to wait until Qian Jue had grown stronger before properly putting on airs as elders in front of Yun Ming.
After hearing Qian Jue's answer, the expressions of the two girls eased slightly, and there was a little more goodwill in their gazes toward Xu Xiaoyan.
Qian Jue nodded slightly, then abruptly changed the subject. "Xiaoyan, if I remember correctly, your martial soul is the Starwheel Ice Staff?"
"Mhm, mhm. What's wrong? The inherited martial soul of our family line is the Ice Staff, but mine mutated slightly and gained a bit of the stellar attribute from another branch."
Xu Xiaoyan openly explained the origins of her martial soul. She had nothing to hide from Qian Jue, someone trusted by everyone.
"Mm, then do you want the possibility for your Martial Souls to grow even further?"
After saying that, Qian Jue turned to look at Zhang Yangzi in the corner.
"Of course, Little Zhang, your Martial Soul can as well, through the power I just obtained."
"You've actually been worried all along, haven't you? If Wang Jinxi's Martial Soul continues its beneficial mutation, it may cause your Martial Soul Fusion Skill to disappear."
Zhang Yangzi, who had remained silent the entire time, froze for a moment. He gave Wang Jinxi beside him a complicated look, then nodded.
"That's right. Ever since joining this class, Jinxi's Martial Soul has gradually become less compatible with mine. Though the effect is still very slight, I understand that small things add up."
"Old Zhang..." Wang Jinxi trailed off.
During this period, he had also been immersed in all the improvements brought by the changes in his Martial Soul. He hadn't expected that he had indirectly neglected his best partner.
"Martial Soul Evolution... can something like that really be done?" Xu Xiaoyan was somewhat worried, because such a thing was simply unheard of.
"It's fine. Trust the captain. He never does anything he isn't sure about."
Tang Wulin spoke up, the first to express his complete trust in Qian Jue.
Because the Golden Dragon King had already told him that Qian Jue was very likely the reincarnation of the First Sovereign of the Dragon Clan, ten thousand times stronger than the so-called Sea God Tang San.
That explained why Qian Jue was so strong.
Xu Xiaoyan looked at Tang Wulin. She still trusted this acting class monitor very much. After all, he looked honest, and every day he did nothing but cultivate and forge.
"Alright, I'm willing to give it a try."
Seeing that even a delicate girl like Xu Xiaoyan had already made her decision, Zhang Yangzi knew that not only for himself, but also for his good brother Wang Jinxi, he had to summon up his courage.
"Captain, I believe in you."
Qian Jue smiled faintly, then summoned Shu before everyone.
Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful woman in green before them, everyone wore different expressions.
Those who did not know her were naturally astonished by Shu's beauty, while Gu Yue and Na'er were utterly stunned.
Shu also noticed Gu Yue and Na'er, feeling that they seemed somewhat familiar.
Moreover, why was a faint sense of fear slowly spreading through her heart?
