At the same time, because the Tyrannosaurus Rex soul spirit was extremely cooperative, Qian Jue had managed to perfectly absorb it, despite only just breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm.
Two pitch-black soul rings rose slowly from beneath Qian Jue's feet, rhythmically circling his body.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex soul spirit emerged from within the Dragon Rising Pillar.
However, compared to before, its appearance had undergone a distinct transformation.
Its grey-black scales were now accented with a touch of gold, and its bright red pupils had shifted to a golden-red, resembling eternal Golden Eyes that exuded a sense of fierce, overbearing dominance.
Even more striking was that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had sprouted a pair of wings, and its short forelimbs had become thick and powerful.
It was clear that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had evolved directly after merging with the Dragon Rising Pillar; the trace of Golden Dragon King bloodline within its body had been activated, manifesting in this new form.
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes shimmered with brilliant colors, her gaze lingering on Qian Jue with an intensity that seemed almost tangible.
My husband is truly amazing!
The moment the Dragon Rising Pillar appeared, she could feel her own dragon blood boiling just by standing nearby, and all her attributes had received a significant boost.
The staff member responsible for recording and research was also deeply shocked, as he too possessed a dragon-type martial soul, though his bloodline was very thin, belonging to the sub-dragon category.
Facing the Dragon Rising Pillar, he found himself unable to harbor even a shred of hostility, his heart filled instead with reverence and joy.
"Not only can it promote the evolution of dragon-type soul spirits, but it can also enhance all attributes of every dragon-type soul master within its range. Just what grade is this child's martial soul?"
The staff member's voice trembled as he looked at Qian Jue in disbelief.
Gu Yue smiled faintly and shook her head.
Foolish humans, this is the Dragon Rising Pillar, a supreme treasure of the Dragon Clan; how could mere mortals like you comprehend it?
Although she had lost many memories of her previous life, those concerning Qian Jue remained incredibly clear.
The original intention of the Dragon God in forging the Dragon Rising Pillar was to commemorate Qian Jue, casting it with his own divine marrow and Qian Jue's remains to provide a path of advancement for those with mediocre bloodlines.
Yet, before that great chaos occurred, the Dragon Rising Pillar had vanished without a trace.
None of the Nine Dragon Kings knew its whereabouts; only the Dragon God had known.
It seemed that today, the awakening of the super-divine artifact Dragon Rising Pillar by her husband was likely a contingency left behind by her predecessor.
Dragon God, oh Dragon God, may your spirit rest in peace.
In this life, I will certainly take good care of my husband, so you may depart in peace.
A certain young girl reincarnated into the Star Luo Continent's royal family suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
"Xiao Qian, what are the effects of your two soul skills?"
Gu Yue looked on with anticipation; she wanted to be the first person to see Qian Jue unleash his soul skills.
Qian Jue did not say much, simply lighting up the first soul ring at his feet.
"First soul skill: Indomitable Overlord."
Black-gold light waves spread outward from the center of the Dragon Rising Pillar, quickly covering the two-hundred-square-meter space and encompassing Gu Yue, himself, and the staff member.
"What is this feeling..."
The staff member felt a surge of momentum rising from the depths of his heart, and his vision became noticeably clearer.
"Spirit power amplification?"
Gu Yue hit the nail on the head, immediately identifying one of the soul skill's effects.
Qian Jue nodded and added, "With me as the center, the spirit power of all soul masters within fifty meters is increased by twenty percent, and doubled for those with dragon-attribute martial souls."
"At the same time, it grants the 'Indomitable' buff: soul power consumption is reduced by thirty percent, physical strength and stamina are increased by one hundred percent, and mental resilience is bolstered."
This support effect is truly heaven-defying!
And it's a perfect match for me.
Gu Yue was already beaming inwardly.
Her true form, the Silver Dragon King, inherited the Dragon God's mastery over elements, and the most direct influence on her ability to manipulate elements was her spirit power value.
As expected, the Dragon Venerable and I are a match made in heaven!
"And the second soul skill?"
Qian Jue hesitated for a moment, choosing to describe it verbally rather than demonstrating it directly.
"The effect of the second soul skill is quite special and cannot be used casually."
"I have named it 'Sin of Wrath.' As the name implies, after activating this skill, all soul masters within fifty meters enter a state of 'Wrath,' with their strength increased by forty percent."
This soul skill originated from the evolved Tyrannosaurus Rex, its Golden Dragon King bloodline activated and sublimated through the Dragon Rising Pillar.
"Soul masters in the state of Wrath, especially those with dragon-type martial souls, will experience a 'boiling dragon blood' effect, increasing the effectiveness of all soul skills by an additional thirty percent while masking all sensations of pain."
"The side effect is that soul masters in the state of Wrath will be temporarily influenced by their anger, clouding their judgment, and they will only be able to follow my unified commands."
Qian Jue felt that this soul skill was very similar to the operator skills in a certain game he played in his past life.
Before using the ultimate: A lively and cheerful sunny girl.
After using the ultimate: Frenzied biting, a wild beast unleashed.
However, in terms of effectiveness, the boost was quite impressive; after all, it was a noble independent multiplier.
As for the side effects?
High spiritual power could mitigate them, but the boost received would not be diminished.
Using the first soul skill in tandem with the second soul skill was the optimal solution.
After hearing the introduction of Qian Jue's two soul skills, Gu Yue cast a subtle glance at the Tyrannosaurus Rex sitting atop the Dragon Rising Pillar and nodded at it.
Well done.
Both of these soul skills were highly compatible with her.
If anyone tried to harm Qian Jue, Gu Yue might go even crazier; this bit of mental influence was nothing at all.
"Alright, since the absorption is complete, let's go report to the teacher together."
Gu Yue spoke, but just as she prepared to take a step, she paused, looked back at Qian Jue, and her cheeks flushed slightly:
"Since this is your first time here and you're unfamiliar with the place, I'm afraid you might get lost. Could you hold your Senior Sister's hand?"
Qian Jue narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Gu Yue for a moment.
She held out her hand, but shyly averted her gaze.
Seriously, big sister, what are you being so shy for?
Although he couldn't stop the snarky thoughts in his mind, Qian Jue still indulged Gu Yue's small wish.
Consider it a way to farm some favorability; he would need to mooch off the Silver Dragon King later to accelerate his own cultivation anyway.
"Senior Sister, let's go."
Feeling the warmth radiating from his palm, Gu Yue's heart warmed as well.
Wuwuwu, my dear wife is so gentle, I feel like I'm going to melt.
The two, one tall and one short, walked out of the room hand in hand.
Upon arriving at Leng Yaozhu's office, Qian Jue explained his soul skills once more, and the maternal affection in Leng Yaozhu's eyes grew even more profound.
"Xiao Qian is truly amazing; your teacher is very gratified."
After briefly learning about Qian Jue's background and discovering the child's peerless talent, Leng Yaozhu had already decided to pour all her love into nurturing him.
An orphan, and one who had seemingly suffered abuse.
If she cultivated their bond from a young age, Qian Jue would surely become a pillar of the Spirit Pagoda in the future, and the possibility of betrayal would be greatly reduced.
Perhaps in this way, she could also entrust the Phoenix Lineage to this child with peace of mind.
This could also be considered a form of atonement to her parents and master for her own youthful recklessness and blind impulsiveness.
"By the way, given your age, you are already eligible to enroll in a primary soul master academy. Would you like to study at the primary academy in Shrek City?"
No sooner had Leng Yaozhu finished speaking than Qian Jue shook his head like a rattle.
That would absolutely not do!
He had snuck out to awaken his martial soul and joined the Spirit Pagoda; if that old hag Long Yeyue found out, she would definitely fly into a rage.
Now that he had taken Leng Yaozhu as his master and possessed such great talent, he didn't need to be too afraid of her.
But no one could say for sure if that person might do something crazy.
"Then what do you mean?"
"I want to go to East Sea City to study. Mom said that my grandfather and grandmother both live there."
A flicker of surprise crossed Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes. She looked at Gu Yue, who was standing there in a daze, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly:
"You two senior and junior siblings are truly fated. Gu Yue also said she wanted to study at East Sea Academy. Since that's the case, I'll write your recommendation letter as well."
